NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker (Official Lyric Video) - Reaction

[@HDS3D]

There are two emotional points, that hit me, when i hear the song. Shoemaker said, that his biggest disappointment in life was, that he has never been to the moon. And now, he is there till the moon will be gone. No other Billionaire or Scientist got the honor to be buried on the moon, so far. The second thing is, that his colleagues of NASA made this possible for him and his family. It was also a good thing for his wife to now, that he made it to the moon at last.

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Now thats the way i like to look at it now. He may not have gotten their in life, but will be there for the rest of eternity

[@bobheslop8039]

Song was about Eugene Merle (Gene) Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 - July 18, 1997) was an American geologist and one of the founders of the field of planetary science. He co-discovered Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy. This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. Shoemaker also studied terrestrial craters, such as Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, and along with Edward Chao provided the first conclusive evidence of its origin as an impact crater. He was also the first director of the United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology Research Program. He was killed in a car accident while visiting an impact crater site in Australia. After his death, some of his ashes were carried to the Moon with the Lunar Prospector mission. Was troy doing the singing :-)

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Thx for all of that, most appreciated.

[@flemmingstergaard4690]

Its about Shoemaker a famous scientist that are the only human burried on the moon, try Wiki him and the song becomes a masterpiece one of the few Nightwish song thst really prosper with context.

[@fjnw]

Good guess in the beginning, it's about Eugene Shoemaker, the only human who has part of his ashes buried on the moon. He was a planetary scientist who passed in 1997. The song is a tribute to him. The chorus is sung by Troy in the lead, Marco back on the left and Floor back on the right. The quote is read by Tuomas'wife Johanna Kurkula. The quote of Shakespeare was engraved in the capsule with the ashes of Eugene that was sent to the moon. And Floor is killing it in the last part: "Praise to the stars"

I love how honest your reaction is. First time I listened I wasn't too sure about it. It was so different to what I had become accustomed to. That is until the "Laudato Si". Then I cried. I used to sing a piece very like it as a boy soprano many many years ago. It brought me back to a more innocent time. I really love that choral part of the song.

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Thx for that. I know people want me to research the songs before i react, but it's really not something i can do. I would go to far down the rabbit hole and messup the reaction part, casue i would have already checked everything out.

[@ianholt154]

@@CUTnPASTEreacts can see your point and it’s really difficult to strike a balance, but as with the Poet & the Pendulum, the backstory is so important to understanding this particular piece. When you realise what it’s actually about, the lyrics and symbolism then makes total sense. You’ll usually get some clues of when some background is needed, when the Army leave their reaction requests. As a footnote to this, I’m sure I read somewhere that Gene Shoemaker said it was his biggest regret in life that he never got to fly to the moon as an astronaut, so what a lovely touch that he’s now buried there. Love your reactions btw

[@kezca]

You are correct it is a homage to Eugene Shoemaker, the only human to have his ashes on the moon. The cut into little stars part is a quote from william Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. It was etched on his urn.

[@gabriel.bardac]

Your mind works perfectly, even if (for the moment) you are blond :) Only here your refusal to do a preliminary research takes revenge. I think you already understood the reference, because already in the comments it was explained to you that it is a song dedicated to the American geologist and planetologist Eugene Shoemaker whose urn was sent to the moon (!!!), together with a quote from Shakespeare recited in the song. It is not their first song dedicated to a scientific personality, in their previous album they have a song dedicated to Carl Sagan. And if you remember, Richard Dawkins contributed directly to "The Greatest Show On Earth."

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Thx Gabriel most appreciated it. Thats the problem with me, there is not such thing as preliminary research, it's all or nothing. And if I go all in, there is not reaction, then it just becomes a summary of my research and i know i won't enjoy doing that. too much like school for me.🤣

I'm just sad that he died here in Australia. The road he was on is barely a road, very very dangerous.

[@okiejohn3925]

The images of the moon and asteroids were in homage to Eugene Shoemaker who as an astrophysicist studied craters and asteroids, and their relationship. He was slated to go to the moon on one of the Apollo missions but was diagnosed with cancer(I think) and got scrubbed from the mission. He always said that was one of his greatest regrets in life. He was so respected at NASA that they sent some of his ashes to the moon on a later mission after he passed. The latin operatic part at the end, "All praise be to the stars" or something close to that.

I wish people would SHUTUP about you doing research !!! You have explained your reasons why you don't many many times. You just keep doing you, I think you're awesome !

[@jamesanderson5268]

Cut in little stars is in the Shakespeare poem and basically means "human ashes" which part of Eugene Shoemaker's were carried to the moon and buried there. The poem is spoken by Tuomas' wife, Johanna Kurkela.

[@missdove637]

If you know the story about eugene shoemaker and look at the video again, there are a lot of things falling in to place. Speaking of falling, you see meteoors heading for maybe earth or the moon, the "view" shoemaker has on the earth. Especially the last section, very intense..... the lyrics are making more sense when you know the story 😁

[@Richard.Linder]

Their latest album is more complex than their previous works, and is not as immediately accessible. This was the first song I heard from it, and I was initially shocked, confused and disappointed by their new direction. It just didn't feel like the Nightwish I knew. But after hearing this song a few more times, and understanding what it's about, it began to reveal its beauty to me. I have grown to really love this song. And that ending now has such a powerful emotional effect on me.

[@SergioSBloch]

'Sup botha' ? - This is an insanely complex song - as many others have mentioned - it is about one of the final resting places of Eugene Shoemaker - he had many accomplishments in planetary sciences - including if you recall the discovery of the Shoemaker -Levy 9 comet which we saw crash into Jupiter. Some of his ashes are on the moon - he died in a car accident going to document an impact crater in Australia. The quote from Shakespeare that is on his urn containing his ashes on the moon was read by Tuomas's wife - Johanna Kurkela. The main male voice you hear on this song and a lot of the other songs on Nature is Troy with Marco doing harmonies. Tuomas, Johanna and Troy also have a side project band worth looking into called Auri. Check them out with some reactions here.

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Thx man, Greatly appreciate the summary.

[@timomastosalo]

This for me speaks about the dream to go beyond what we now know. Though the surface level, the straight forward message is the homage to Mr. Shoemaker. This song for me requires that I'm in that dreaming mood, for this to hit home. This has been one of those that slowly grew on me. First listening I just found it somewhat odd: only enjoyed the bridge where there's the sound of the falling asteroid, or moon rocket or alike - likely a reference to the vessel used to take some of Mr- Shoemaker's ashes to the moon. Now it's one of my favourites on this album. There's that 'expect more' vibe - often refreshingly shaking out of the daily yoking mode. Lift the vision beyond horizon. Like God also calls this life is not all of it. The story's meant ... to be continued.

[@stamasd8500]

You are fast becoming my favorite reactor on youtube. :) No other was able to perfectly describe the instrument like you did at the beginning (even some string instrument "experts") even though you couldn't remember the name of it. And you are very observant, yes it's about the passing of someone. And about the Moon. And the planets. And the way all these are connected together. I won't give you details about Eugene Shoemaker, I see that there are plenty who already did that.

[@billattercliffe8655]

Here's the Wiki for Eugene Shoemaker: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker When I first bought the Human. :||: Nature. album, I was underwhelmed by this song despite that magnificent ending. Then somewhere along the line the penny dropped when I thought of the Shoemaker-Levy comet hitting Jupiter. Jumped on his Wiki page and then went back to the song and had a "WOW!" moment. This song requires context to be appreciated, so make a few more passes through it after reading about Shoemaker. I'm sure it'll become one of your favourites. BTW, the quote from Shakespeare was inscribed on his urn that held his ashes on the trip to the moon onboard the Lunar Prospector space craft.

[@ugk1106]

Shoemaker -after E.Shoemaker - was a space probe to study asteroids and landed on one. This song is about the probe's travel to infinity.

[@moimeme8827]

for the story of Mister Shoemaker, some of us told you in the comments below ;). But at the end "laudato si ad astra" is a tribute to the poem of Saint Francois d'Assise (maybe "Francis of Assisi" in English). Laudato si = praise be to you. Ad astra = to the stars. you can translate as: "praised be the stars". Take a look at Guylain Prince OFM 's YT channel. He did a complete analysis of the lyrics and he is a Franciscan and a priest.

[@martinreed1567]

Guylain’s reaction to Laudato si is priceless indeed,

[@hermenw.huiskamp8555]

'Laudato si ad astra' are latin words but not a sentence. The conjunctions do not add up. But if construed as a sentence there is a typical latin 'contextual implicit part'. In this context I would translate it: 'Praise be to you (Shoemaker, who went) to the stars.' Yes! :) The Song of creation, makes perfect sense in this context. Church :||: Science, Shoemaker a 'planetary/astral ecologist' Earth:||:Heavens, Human:||:Nature

[@sket179]

This is hilarious, how he doesn't know what the song is about, also how his name is about the moon. And the coincidence how this song is about death and about his life currently, how the theme is present. It's uncanny. Nightwish and Tuomas especially is really giving hommage to science and the beauty and spiritual aspect of science too.

Hi Sean, Good to see you react to another Nightwish composition :). Question: is your real name spelled: Chandradath? Just wondering :). Chandra indeed refers to the moon, or moon god/goddess, AFAIK. Originally it is Sanskrit, and goes back thousands of years :). Shoemaker is one of my favourites of the Human Nature album, and basically from the moment Floor starts singing right till the end I have goosebumps and chills :). This song is both an ode to Shoemaker and to space, space travel, the stars, and the future of humanity. I just love it. The operatic part normally brings tears to my eyes, and I made that part my new ringtone :). And maybe, as others said, maybe start doing a bit of research on Nightwish songs prior to reacting to it, it so helps the understanding, and I honestly think you may enjoy it more. Human :||: Nature (and the songs on that album actually are quite different to anything else they made, but it still clearly is a Nightwish album. And once you know what Shoemaker is about and what it stands for, it will hit you quite hard, emotionally, I am sure :). You may want to react to Music nextt, the first song of the album, as in a way that is similar. However, please do read up on it first, I urge you. BTW, Shoemaker is extremely difficult to sing with the very fast short notes and changes up and down in unexpected directions all the time. I think only Floor could have pulled that of :). Loved your reaction, it was great, regardless of not doing any research beforehand! Love, warmest regards, Wim

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

Hi Wim, thx for that. It's spelled Chandradat, at least thats how my parents spelled it, I do know it's originally Sanskrit, but thats about as much as i know. I get the reason why everyone asks that I do a bit of reading when I react to NW, the problem is me, there is not do a bit of research or reading in my vocabulary. I either ace the class im in, or fail, so once I start down the path of researching I go all the way and them my reaction becomes a video book report instead of a rection, and I wouldn't enjoy doing that.

WOW, you weren't kidding when you said it was a long list. I can honeslty say there are alot of names that i know but haven't listened to or even names I have never heard of. Can't promise I'll react to them all,. but I will probably try to give all the ones I'm not familiar with a listen to.

[@97bowie97]

1:28 maybe something like the struck zither family like the cimbalom kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp61YZKke7mUqtE , or Yangqin kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32mp4SJd56NrcU , or hammered dulcimer kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKogWOamriBiKM 👍reaction

Somehow you missed everything anout the song. A suggestion: there is a Napalm playlist regarding the whole album. Basically it is a sequel to the the greatest show on earth. The best contrary to what you normally do, some research is needed.

[@andyohil7465]

Every week another color?

[@davidbratton3855]

Have you heard that Marko Hietala is taking at least a year out from Nightwish!!! Gutted!!!

[@cadology1]

You need to rethink your non research you are missing the point of the song and enjoyment because you are trying to understand the lyrics you need to research nightwish they are storey tellers you need to reasearch

[@dieterschmidt7517]

Sorry to break this to you my friend, marko just left the band :(

I literally just read that, I think I might record a quick vid about this as soon as my meetings are over.

You're confused, you, don't get the picture etc., etc. And you don't want to know the backgrounds beforehand. For me that's a thin way for making a reaction. I"m off.

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

fair enough, but I'm not here do homework before listening to music. If I have to read about it to enjoy listening to it, I would rather just read a well written story. Me personally I listen to music to enjoy the music, I don't have to know the story of an Opera to enjoy the composition of the music. Knowing the story can increase that enjoyment but not knowing didnt detract from the enjoyment i got from just hearing it. But hey what ever works for the listner and brings them joy, I support.

[@patchouli2274]

@@CUTnPASTEreacts Agree to disagree on that. Appreciate your answer.

[@CUTnPASTEreacts]

@@patchouli2274 100% my friend, what works for me absolutely doesn't work for everyone. If people are good with doing the reading first before listening and that brings them enjoyment I support that 100%. What ever lets someone enjoy music gets my support, even if it doesn't fit my preffered method. ✌✌👍👍

[@optimusakc]

In my opinion you were too busy trying to play detective with the lyrics. You were pausing so much to think about the meaning of words that the meaning of the music looked lost on you for this video. To me this is one of Nightwish's most beautiful songs, especially the end but it looked like it barely registered on your face. Inspecting the lyrics so closely on a first listen can take away from the emotional side of the music sometimes. Like a lot of people have said you could have done a tiny bit of research on the song. Floor has a comment right at the top of the video explaining what the song is about. 10 seconds and that little bit of research would give you enough context to know what the song is obviously about. Or I would say for the future if you don't want to do any research at all then maybe don't read the words on a first listen to or at least don't try to break them down. Food for thought. Otherwise still enjoy all your reactions and have a good day!

how do u spell your indian name?

Hey Riley, my parents spelled it Chandradat, but feel that I have also seen it written as Chandradath

Btw;The words "Laudato Si" are the title and the introductory words and come from the Canticle of the Sun by Francis of Assisi, which he wrote in the 13th century.
