REACTING to NIGHTWISH (Noise) 📱🎶🔥

“I catch on to things a bit slower”. No Chase, definitely not. Yet another awesome breakdown.

[@572Btriode]

Oh no you don't Chase, you got a great deal of it almost immediately, certainly way more than many other reactors.

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

@@572Btriode Oh yes, brilliant reaction. I had to watch it at least 3 or 4 times before I even began to figure out what was going on and I still missed most of it.

[@572Btriode]

@@rayraudebaugh5395 I read somewhere that Floor persuaded Tuomas to do it as a video as she saw the potential there, it wasn't originally intended. Chase did a very good job on this one, but it's what we've come to expect of course.

You the former UFC fighter Rich Franklin?

[@richfranklin7597]

Stefan Knežević - no, afraid not.

[@mounawarabbouchi3019]

The funny thing that is Tuomas said he did not want to do any more music videos because he was sick of it just being the band being filmed playing music, but Floor convinced him to do one for this song, and we got this gem. I love the chemistry they have and the obvious collaborative spirit of the band.

[@Richard.Linder]

Please look up what Shoemaker is about, before you watch it. Knowing his story will greatly enhance your understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the piece.

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

YESSSSS...Definitely.

[@SaiyanPrincess90]

This is so true ♡

[@sanderhoogeland9161]

Indeed

[@ricklarsen7189]

Floor has at times left me breathless and at times quite emotional. In Shoemaker she managed to do both at the same time.

[@Carrinthe]

Completely agree, just can't wait for your reaction of my favorite song on the Album. But you must at least read the wiki off Eugene Schoemaker. Like was said, it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the song.

[@nikolasmichaelides9444]

We are going by album order, meaning next week... omg! You need to read this Chase: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Merle_Shoemaker

[@sanderhoogeland9161]

I agree, he should definitely read that.

[@Ilionej]

About that Game of Thrones similarity: Tuomas confessed that he hadn't watched a single episode and it was actually Marko who one day pointed out the similarity to the main theme to him. He said it's possible that he may have picked up the tune at some point, but it was definitely not intentional. Still a very ironic coincidence. Everything else has already been said in the comments. lol

[@Geggy0815]

You should look at Tuomas Holopainen and his wife Johanna Kurkela "A Lifetime of Adventure". It´s another Masterpice of him.

[@anssia3123]

I'd recommend doing this after finishing the second disc of Human Nature. But yes this is a must!

@nem And ISTR from the news a little while ago this happened for real with a guy taking a selfie with a street attack/murder in progress as the backdrop, it's a sad indictment of modern society. I don't know where everyone is of course, but places in Europe are fitting red/green light bars in the kerbside at pedestrian crossings to assist the majority who are heads down in their "phones". . . . For example: www.bbc.com/news/technology-38992653

[@MsKvicak]

@@572Btriode pls, don't get anything wrong here, the comment and the reactions were not intended by any means to say or suggest that this behaviour they're presenting in the music video is normal or acceptable (actually, it was only a tiny peace of information for Chase and others who may not know, but maybe not the most appropriate emojis were added to it). Personally (as a mother of three, soon-to-become-teenagers) I feel devastated by knowing that every tiny segment of this music video is real (and I'm afraid, the incident you've just mentioned is by far not the first or the only one) :( However, thank you for mentioning, as we must raise awareness that (sad, but true) this is not fiction :( Peace, everyone

[@572Btriode]

@@MsKvicak Oh no! I was only quoting an example/parallel, maybe not too well, certainly no intended meaning of this being normal behaviour. I'm very well aware of the sense and direction of your initial comment and that the video is as metaphorical as Tuomas' lyrics can be. Rest assured, I did not, and do not, read anything into the emojis, only the correct written observation about the characters in the video. Please don't worry I understood. All the best from here in SW France.

[@theatomicpirategirl]

Right before the album was released, Tuomas did a q&a video in which he mentioned this video. He stated he really had no interest in making a music video. However, it was Floor that sorta convinced him to do a video. But he said if they were going to do a music video, he wanted to do something different and interesting. Therefore, Noise music video was created. Cannot wait for you to hear Shoemaker!

[@sainakarimi846]

Some lyric analysis: There's so much in it it's impossible to take it all in with one single playthrough. the message is not just "Smartphone bad, nature good!" but rather how "We've become tool to a tool", the next lines are also important "Digital ghouls telling you to shut up and dance". Basically, how we are blinded to what is important with superficial distractions. We have the mother who use her child to further her status on social media and in the end trapping the child in a cage. We have the (hypocritical) environmentalist activist who do and say all the right things for social clout (also notice his sign has both yes and no to nuclear power) all while literally bathing in oil when nobody can see him. We have the pill industry who push supplements (i saw fat away, man power, but there where other) so everyone can be "perfect". The cult (the monks) of social media who are quick to turn on anyone who disagree, and instead of helping out you pose for the drama. In the end we are born and die addicted to all the digital "noise" that blinds us to what is important.

I love this video. Nightwish sees the bigger picture with everything they touch. Thanks for a great review Chase....now I'm going to go have a Damn Good Day!

[@572Btriode]

@Goldy - Good for you, and what have you missed? Nothing. Yep the bigger picture, an astute observation, to be applauded.

[@korrilis]

When listening to the whole album in one go, there is no silence between Music and Noise. The soft ending of Music get blown up by the violent beginning of Noise (there is no soft intro like in the video). Startled me a few times. Definitely done on purpose (not thanking you Tuomas! 😡). By the way, the "guy with the red light" getting bashed up is poor little Emppu 😥 Thanks for those few words about looking after each other. I think you're going to love "How's the Heart" 's lyrics so much

Chase, you've said that you're not a very emotional person (Poet and the Pendulum react maybe?), but seeing your facial expressions at the very end there makes me want to beg to differ. Awesome react, as always.

[@Amaranthos2]

He's one of the most emotional and intuitive people I've seen on the internet; he just isn't as expressive as most. Probably due to how emotional he is...that tends to be a defense

[@Lannisen]

[@henrisavilampi2039]

Interestingly, one thing that is easy to miss in the video is the pink filter symbolizing the rose-coloured glasses people look each other through on the Internet. Everything "good" has a pink filter on, everything "bad" doesn't.

[@uncagedulfhedinn2525]

Tuomas was in the tub. He was the tree hugger that really wasn't a tree hugger.

Surprised Chase didn't rewind at 5:44 for further 'musical analysis'! In all seriousness, this video makes me tear up every time. By the end the dude's entire life had passed him by when a beautiful world was just on the horizon. I used to be that person who just came home from work and played videogames or listened to music or played on the internet until it was time for bed. Every day, every week, month, and for years. Then my son was born. And while the transition has been slow, I am a totally different person today than I was 4 years ago (about the time I really got into NW, ha!). We go outside and play every single day and I take every opportunity to try to go to festivals, concerts, social outings, parks, museums, EVERYWHERE I can with him. Sure, we still play videogames and my #1 hobby will always be music, but I've struck a much healthier balance lately even though as you said Chase it is harder right now than ever. And I've began removing some aspects of social media that are kinda negative. I'm so done with the media painting my model of the world and of others for me. It's so much more meaningful and accurate to see the world yourself than to have it explained to you and for you. You are also right that technology isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just how you use it, right? The same technology that can obliterate a city can power an entire region. A social media platform that can keep you connected with friends can also suck you into a harmful escapism. It's ironic that this song and video came out during coronavirus; I mean obviously they wrote this before everything hit, but it's just so spot on for today's culture, isn't it? It's exactly the song we need to hear right now. And it's further ironic and appropriate that it happens to speak to me on a very personal level considering what I explained above. This song musically isn't anything mindblowing but we always have to take into consideration that we know for a fact that the live version is going to SLAY and you're right, those parts are totally gonna KICK ASS. I absolutely CANNOT WAIT!

[@ericswannie2504]

I feel the same joy you do when I hear a heavy guitar riff. Can’t wait to see you react to Tribal. There may be a little bit of research before the next song, Shoemaker. It pertains to Eugene Shoemaker, the only human interred on the moon.

[@HylianDan]

The message of the video, that "tool of a tool" line in particular, feels very Tolkien in nature. His stories lean heavily into the theme that the things we possess eventually possess us. Tuomas was a big Tolkien fan growing up and I wonder if some traces of that influence of Tolkien's worldview are showing in the thoughts and worldview being expressed here. Of course the works directly cited in the song are Brave New World and Black Mirror, it's not like Tolkien's the only one who'd been concerned about the direction we're headed in with technological addiction. But that particular line catches my attention. Excellent commentary and reaction, very excited to continue following your journey through this album!

[@fornamnefternamn1532]

That is true. Tolkien was sad about that people didn't respect nature, especially trees if I remember it correctly. Maybe parts of that can be found here, when the video ends with the camera paning up, showing what beauty they miss.

[@replay759]

Theres easter egg in the video to know whos the one from the band in the bathtub before tuomas reveal him self. You can see his other costume behind the tube on the left ;)

A quote from Tuomas that's in the comment section of the original video: "This video is not a criticism about technology or cell phones. Me, all the bandmembers, we love technology. We wouldn't ever have done this record without technology. We love our cell phones, the Internet and all that, but it's a criticism for the addiction that these things cause in human beings. 'Addiction' is the word." So not technology, but addiction as a whole!

[@ingsve]

If you plan on doing Shoemaker next then I advice you to just browse the Wikipedia page for Eugene Shoemaker first. It helps understanding what the song is about.

[@ericabenoit8620]

I've listened to this album about 30+ times and I have to see it's great to watch it with you and go through things. I'd like to make a suggestion: so the last 8 songs on the album are instrumentals. I think its worth your time to listen and do a reaction video to all 8 together, they aren't super long individually, but they almost tell a story musically (a few voice overs) from the first one to the last. Anyways, just my suggestion. Thank you for your reactions as always!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Noted! Sounds fun, will give it a look.

@@ChaseCarneson Nightwish originally released the songs of that second album as separate videos but there is a fan made professional quality 31 minute video where they were recollected as one kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ-ylYRrjLONgM0 However the last song of that album "Ad Astra" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKTLoYN4d8qbrqc was released before the official release date of the whole album to support for international conservation charity organization 'World Land Trust'. While other officially released songs have just static background picture, official release of "Ad Astra" is a proper music video with important message.

[@bishopsteiner7134]

I'd say this is the most "stock" Nightwish song on the album (hence it being the lead off single). But this album really IMO, doesn't lend itself so well to singles, as songs like "Harvest" in a vacuum may feel weirdly un-Nightwish.... but in context and in order on the album? Absolutely works. This is hands down my favorite album of 2020 to date, with around 100 listens so far (Nightwish, Iron Maiden and Band Maid to keep my spirits up during lockdown, 5 months and counting), and I still can't pick a favorite track.

[@weibsvolken7150]

Great reaction as usual, thank you! This video is so full of funny details, like the green movement cannot decide whether they are pro or against nuclear, so Tuomas has this handy flip-around sign. His bath btw was warm plant oil with ground black pasta, he described it as "nothing you have ever experienced before" but quite pleasant apparently. So, the next piece from the album will throw you a curve ball, wonder what you will make of it :-)

Chase easily the best first reaction of this video of any analysis (have seen a lot of them) EASILY - great work 👍. Under 1/2 through it you had not only broken down the music but taken in and interpreted the concept. You seemed to think you missed a lot; not much at most, and certainly caught a lot more in 1 take than myself and likely many others.

If you listen to the start in mono you can hear Floor shout "Shut up" after app. 9 seconds (not sure if I remembered that right). You won't hear this in normal playing mode. Tuomas said in some interviews that this video is about addiction, it is not against our digital tools. In fact, all the band love them and, when used properly, they can be a powerful tools.

I don't think they intended to say "technology=bad" but more of a warning that we can become tools of a tool, enslaved by something that is supposed to help us. And the real life vs. the online "perfection." The guy getting beat up on social media was Emppu, by the way! There's so much going on in the video that I have a hard time really listening to the song. Like usual you picked out a lot of nuances that I never noticed before, and I'll definitely be listening for them in the future!

Bore us? Bro our Saturday plans are made around your Nightwish reaction. You completely overestimate my social life, but thanks it feels good 😂

[@mix6809]

loved that reaction, and of course ur insights as always. seems u can always make me see/hear things i missed, hehe...

[@koragg3399]

Thank you Chase one more epic video. to bad there is only one Saturday a week.

[@brianjenkins8493]

Brilliant reaction again Chase...thanks for that-my Saturday night fix...love it..😊👍

[@andriusbruzas9211]

Love how this video is built upon a metaphor that is built on another one. So much detail. Peasants being barefoot and a king with golden shoes on a “throne”.

[@MarcXL81]

Love this song in so many different ways. Great reaction.

[@joseacevedo8314]

Another great breakdown, Chase! Can't wait for the rest of album.

[@Raptor577]

There's another level of understanding when analyzing Music and Noise side by side. "Can you hear the brave drum from the moors? Follow the beat and leave the noise behind if we be lovers" Great reaction, as always!

[@inessantos6899]

Yes!! Thank you for you reaction!! So good that you got the general message in the video!! Nightwish (all the band members) did like for each song in this album a intro video explaning the general meaning of the song, you should definately see that videos. Tuomas presented this one in the countdown videos and in interviews that this song it's not to criticize the tecnology because we can do so many things. Tecnology can be used for so may good stuff that we should user her just for that! Tecnology is good when the use it's balanced and for the good reasons, and we on social media are so like immersed by ads, and just bad stuff that it's just NOISE to your brain and our lifestyle! the NOISE it's persistent in all plataforms and we should be careful and just enjoy the life, and not be too much time in the bubble! This NIghtwish album is really a open eyes, at least for me!! Truly Loved your reaction and i hope that you will do some research for the next song from this album!!! It's worth of the time loss!! Thank you again and have a good damn day out of the bubble!!!! ;) Cheers! (I'm portuguese soo, sorry for some of my english)!!

[@gregwhite5695]

Awesome reaction! Love your passion for music and especially Nightwish! Keep it up!

[@marcell6915]

Just a great breakdown of a Nightwish song, because of you I can hear things I didn't heart before. Up to Shoemaker.

[@voodjin]

Great reaction Chase. You picked up really many details, respect. One of the best videos Nightwish ever made. Can't wait to see it live.

[@TerribleChester]

Another fantastic reaction. Loved it!

[@marievie91]

Oh, also, the song has a Black Mirror reference, which is really cool knowing what that series is about

[@marievie91]

Uh, so many references I wanna tell you about! Marko consumes man power pills, the guy in the tub is Tuomas and he had a fever the day they were shooting it, the song does actually refer to how much of our time and energy goes into the online void and not into nature and things that do really matter, Troy sits on "the throne" and if you think about what kind of throne it makes sense, the model posing half naked is the one getting injections and other stuff to look good, also the scene where they beat up Emppu is about how everyone waits to attack you for the slightest mistake and bully you while others only look without helping, but Imma stop now because there's too many things I'd write about this video you'd get a headache haha I'm sorry 🙈

[@marievie91]

Last one I PROMISE, the baby in the beginning and the old man at the end who dies are the same person, this represents how we waste our lives online while nature is there waiting for us to go and enjoy it, and the heart in this screen they wear on the helmet is a reference to Marko's solo album Pyre of the Black Heart

[@ChaseCarneson]

I appreciate all of this! Always see your comments and I appreciate you.

[@Syp74]

Well lovely to watch...again 😁 I enjoy the small details you notice in the video's. There are not a lot of reactors, that see so many 😋 ow and you are on point about the meaning of this video... If you follow the order of the album, strap in next week, that ending is something else ❣ Thnx man, have fun and till the next...🤘

[@Thorgrim247]

You totally understood this video concept and message. Nightwish has stated that they are not against all of the digital distractions. They only want us to put it down once in a while and live real life. It is just outside your front door. They are all lovers of the natural world. Thus the ending show indoctrination and addiction from cradle to grave. Yet all around them is the forest and on the horizon the sun is just coming up to start another beautiful day on our special planet. Love your reaction and analysis to this song and I agree. This will be great when performed live. Peace out!

[@rossmudie9298]

I was listening to Alter Bridge and wondered have you ever heard 'Blackbird'? It's a truly amazing tribute from Myles Kennedy to a friend that had passed away, the song has such deep meaning and was created and played by a fantastically talented band, the Wembley Arena version just an emotional beautiful live experience. Please react to it if you're not already a fan of Alter Bridge.

[@Flickerboy]

Amazing as always chase, thanks for doing this videos! Nightwish army really appreciate it. Peace!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you 🙏

[@darkozivkovpopov1162]

U made Saturdays hard to wait, u r doing incredable reactions, big thanks Chase! Please dont stop with Nightwish Saturdays :) like dont ever stop :)

[@innk5565]

Great analysis of this song! Loved it!

[@Helynox]

Thanks sir, Your analysis are always very interesting!

[@brianalmeida1964]

Another brilliant analysis of both the video and the song Chase. You very quickly became my favourite music reactor on YT and not just because you have undertaken this incredible and long journey through Nightwish but because you explain everything so succinctly. Really looking forward to what you're going to make of Shoemaker! Stay safe.

[@domfol5515]

Nailed it again chase. 👍 I saw somewhere online, ironically , Toumas’ s thoughts behind this song. The nighwish website perhaps. You, chase have also parroted his views, the world is fascinated with social media but it should not take over our life’s. Maybe someone out there saw what I saw ? , it was so very intuitive and smart. Just like his music. The man is a genius 😉🤘.

[@rijlqanturis625]

Great reaction as always. Next song is my favorite on the album. An absolutely beautiful tribute to planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker.

[@ShadowhispersBand]

Great analysis. Great job. Thank you for pointing out some musical elements I didn’t notice yet.

[@andrewhuggins9008]

The World's music and life coach has spoken. Tune in at 2pm GMT next Saturday for the next sermon!! 😉 Top work fella 👏 🤘

[@ChaseCarneson]

Hahah Andrew, this made me chuckle.

[@crystalrainfeather]

Instant 'like' (of course). I've seen this video 3 times now, and I need to watch/listen more. It, as of now, still isn't one of my favs, simply because it is SO jam-packed with layers and meanings and is (mostly) sung so quickly it's hard to keep up with. However, I absolutely love the underlying 'main' meaning. Another masterpiece for sure! Chase, the fact that you can pick up things in the lyrics, the video AND still do your incredible musical analysis is just mindboggling. :) Can't wait til next Sat!!!
