[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Re-uploading this one due to some technical troubles I had. Please note any audio/video delay will adjust/sync again shortly after. Enjoy my review of Nightwish's Latest.

[@Pterodactylus548]

I have my experiences, history, present and future. So I just paste here few things considering to creation of this masterpiece. Natural History Museum at Tring - this museum is in Hertfordshire, England (zoological collections of Sir Walter Rothschild) team in there: Joanne Cooper Ian Watson Catherine O’Carroll Hailey Bickham Claire Walsh They had real freedivers instead of CGI: Freedivers: Guillaume Néry (Footage from “One Breath Around The World” filmed by Franck Seguin ), Tommi Pasanen, Pavlos Kourtellas and the important part! Edited & Directed by: Ville Lipiäinen, same man who did Wacken 2013 and is still a great visual qenius beside Tuomas. Reading his mindworld and transfer perfection to vids. Greetings from Finland (at the hometown of new bassist Jukka Koskinen)

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks so much Rosalie❤️ Love your freckled face and your docu-series is brilliant. I keep proposing the theory that when Floor joined the band, Tuomas was freed to explore the limits of his imagination. He's no longer limited by "a singer's" limitations. He gives life to his thoughts and Floor fleshes out the composition with all the colors, textures and tones only she can provide. Genius sq.

[@holgerschmidt8620]

This is a Nightwish masterpiece for "advanced listeners".🙂 Very demanding and wonderful at the same time. It gets better and better every time you listen to it.

[@majbrat]

I have seen this about 50 times since 430am yesterday morning. Still makes me cry and really inspires me to do better. Live up to those hopes and dreams of my ancestors. Thank you Nightwish

[@kimmikke_]

Jesus Rosalie, out of all Reactions of this song, you really understood and explained the meaning/message of it all in the song - So beautiful and so are you as a person, take care and Thanks :)

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thank you very very much!!! I’m honored to read this. It’s a powerful work of art

[@Donna-C]

Totally agree. I hope this reaction is seen by ALL! (Including Tuomas / Nightwish)

[@spinningflavors8285]

Wonderful reaction. I was struck by the mortality/immortality aspect. Our life is brief but we become eternal by being part of both our history and future. Beautiful and philosophical and has me in tears as usual. ❤

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

@@Donna-C oh wow!! thank you!!! I would be so honored if NW stops by.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

@@spinningflavors8285 yes!! so true. me too!!

Tuomas is the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart of Symphonic Metal

[@gene6690]

Welcome back to the magical world that is Nightwish. Yeah this masterpiece is Dark Complex and Intriguing. It's also like a fine wine. It gets better with time. It's going to take a few listens to unpack properly. 💥

[@perrycleese5987]

100% agree❤. Listened to this many times and it’s going to take me many more to explore, understand and appreciate the depth contained herein. I loved the song from the first listen, but it gets incrementally better (to me) with each listen. Wow! Looking forward to September! And looking forward (with hope) to them being ready to tour again to experience this and other new songs live❤.

[@oldmuso586]

The line was "We're the perfume of the timeless". We are the fragrance raised by being born, that intoxicated our parents and grandparents, as our children and grandchildren are a fine, loving fragrance that intoxicates us. And even those of us who don't have kids, we are in there, we are the cause of a million loves, we are because of a million loves. Nice reaction.

[@WardDorrity]

This is what unconstrained genius looks and sounds like. Tuomas does exactly what he pleases and goes wherever his muse takes him. It's on us to keep up and follow along. That he leaves many behind is no surprise. This... this composition is fucking epic. And it's as deep as the Marianas Trench.

[@cr1s1s0ff41th]

beautifully said! ♥️

[@RonHiegelsberger]

Wow! Honestly, I think you nailed this song in your reaction… this is such a masterpiece on so many levels, as you pointed out, after the song ended! I couldn’t agree with you more!… so many layers to all of this!.. Tuomas is a absolute genius! … hands down!! Thank you so much for your amazing insight on this song!! ❤️🙏😊

[@jennienoppers210]

Floor recorded the album 6 weeks after giving birth in 6 days (including all the harmonies)❤❤

[@Donna-C]

What a Legend! 👏😊

[@yerviniansamvel]

They had 12 days,she did in half of that,what a artist

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

@@yerviniansamvelbecause she is so pitch perfect she doesn’t need many takes to get it right. Reminds me of something I read about Karen Carpenter who only needed one take on all her recordings. She always got it right on the first go.

[@NickBR57]

That opening is very powerful. No surprise it made you cry. Tuomas has a way of doing that. He also has a eay with words in his tjird language (English). In fact for him the story comes first and he composed music to fit his theme.

[@mariosaenz1637]

Hello Mrs. Elliot. Indeed a masterpiece a dedication to Charles Darwin book. Also the owl is a reference to the movie Clash of Titans where the owl was a mechanic contraption made by Hephaestus for Athena and lend as guide for Perseus in his ordeal. Representing Creation and Wisdom.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Oh wow!! Interesting!!! Thank you for that info.

[@vir9002]

Each and every one of your 4,094 ancestors in the past 400years lived their own story that played out, without even one of them, you would not exist. Now you are living your own story, stories of love, conflict, sorrow and joy. YOU same as ME are lucky to have even been born. Life is truly a Mirical, one day it will be your children's children who are living a new story. Family is precious.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

I have always seen you as a top-reactor because of your interpretations. But now you just jumped into a league of your own - like Floor... Your thoughts in just one listen - damn you are brilliant. You went straight into deep thinking mode with the huge overview - just brilliant. And I am with you all the way - after listening at least 10 times...😂 As always, this masterpiece is in so many layers - not just lyrics - everything is done on purpose

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thank you very much!

[@KevinHollisWI]

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Loved your reaction! This makes me think of all the butterfly effects it took for me to be here today. It also makes me refocus of my actions and things I learn and say to pass on into the future. Every action and choice, even the tiniest detail has a butterfly effect that will effect the future in one way or another, so be the best person you can be and make the best choices you can. It ALL matters! ❤️🤘

[@pdutchie4924]

Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often. Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️

[@MilaMan]

Hello dear reactor, this story in this song is beautiful and humbling. Makes proud to be alive and here. Nightwish always been my favorite band since 1996. I was at their live concert last year and next time when I hopefully meet Tuomas I have three questions to ask him. Always so nice to watch and hear your professional reacts Rosalie 🤘

[@reinjanmaat1839]

I can listen to Nightwish songs several times and not get bored, and this song is no different ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@124Spider5]

Hey. 124 Spider here. Honestly, if all children in their first school years had heard this song and read the lyrics, I'm sure that today... all of humanity would be much more cohesive and kind to each other. I had never thought about how I got here, today, alive. If anyone still had doubts that Nightwish ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD, right now?. So I just have to say that humanity is no longer thinking for itself. It's the "NEW" AI that everyone talks about, but they don't even pay attention to what it means. NIGHTWIH FOREVER SINCE EVER.

[@adamparrott797]

I wrote a piece of poetry last year on this topic, this song just made me feel everything again. *****Walk the steps of life with me, a journey to begin, breathe, take it in, be bold. You are never alone, hand in hand with the intensity of those that crawled so you could run, sweet delight is that voice on the wind, a voice to guide us on and to guide us home. ***** (part of the first verse) Nightwish always brings out the feelings of who we are and how we came to be. what a perfect song to listen to and to analyse.

[@dagonluke]

Beautiful comments. Everyone is a legacy.

[@glenngunnis6642]

Truly a work of art! Another Nightwish masterpiece!🤘🎸

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

Every time I watch and listen to this music video I see something else and hear something else. I just love it already.

[@elvwood]

Always fascinating to hear your thoughts, you draw out so much from the music! It makes me think of what I know of my ancestors, the struggles and achievements of all those people. The ones who fled for their lives to England because of religious persecution. The ones who created art, or made things for others to use from metal and leather. The teetotallers and the alcoholics, the soldiers, entertainers, and carers, and the thousands more about whom I know nothing. It's humbling and hopeful.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Very well and eloquently worded. I agree :-)

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Rosalie, that was so perfectly put across...Bravo! I've watched this about 20 times with other reactors. It is a deep and thought provoking video/song, with Tuomas once again confirming his brilliance. The video and the song is impressive, but your reaction is even more impressive for your first viewing....... Roll on 20th September!

[@LDBHX]

Great reaction as usual ❣ That's why I love Nightwish They create ART 💜 Take care and can't wait for more reactions 🙏

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Nightwish has a way of connecting with us in there own way with poetry, knowledge, sound how it effects us. Imagination and dreams. This seems to be the way of Nightwish, with these feelings and emotions we find ourselves inspired and a human connection.

[@mattihopiavuori353]

Beautiful Rosalie, you have such deeper understanding of Nightwish and their often deeper message! We love Nightwish, we know they take us from daily stop at a musical fast food shack to a 12-course fancy restaurant! So, we should NOT BE SURPRISED, but I for one am absolutely floored, mind blown again! There has never been, there will never be, another Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish! 💙💙💙💙

[@-R-884]

Again an another level of music.

[@SynphamyMusic]

What really blows my mind about the message of this song and the video is thinking about that lizard becoming the human when it dives in the water... It dawns on me that this doesn't just apply to us, that our bond with history goes back even before humanity, those apes and lizards and strange little salamander things were our relatives too. They did a great job of showing in the video that as well as that, every bird, plant, insect... they all have their ancestors too. Also ending with the equally humbling and heartbreaking image of a shipwreck... The idea of being lost at sea, all these chains that are broken, and how lucky and crazy it is that we are here still existing as that link that goes back to wherever life started. It breaks my brain a bit but it's such a breath of fresh air that Nightwish write about this sort of stuff and manage to make it accessible.

[@patchouli2274]

You made it very excistantial for me. The beautifull results coming from the mind of Tuomas, with all his intererest for art, culture and nature. The core and ionosphere of a community called the Nightwish Army. How's the Heart? Mine is warm!

[@markclements7767]

Hi Rosalie, greetings from UK That was an excellent analysis/reaction, thank you 😊 It is great seeing you back reacting to Nghtwish 😁

[@tomfavorite1020]

Rosalie, This is why I absolutely love your channel. Your raw emotion, your honesty, your intelligence....all are revealed here in your reaction to another Nightwish masterpiece. Much like "Shoemaker", Toumas reminds us of his love for science and deep thinking...and at just how small we are and the short time that we are here. This song has everything, and just think we are going to get an entire album to go with it. This is beyond a single description....is it a song, is it a message, is this art or science???? I have often wondered why Nightwish does not have any of the "big" awards, (ie, grammy). I think it is because Nightwish is clearly setting the path and what category do you put them in....other than the greatest ever (smile). A couple of things that jumped out at me were the number ancestors, hard aches and loves, for us to be here in this singular moment. I also noticed that several times we watching what looked like exploration, only to have it revealed that we are part of big "experiment" and being "watched" by others. Rosalie....thank you and please keep up the great work. Nightwish Army from Frisco, Texas, USA...checking in.

[@eva1842]

Yes yes the first lines❤,Tuomas knows how to touch our soul...nice reaction

[@g.gordon8117]

Thank you for a wonderful reaction. I see Floors part not as the out front main singer, shes the best, but also using her voice as an instrument as part of the composition. Im not anyone trained in anything musical , just a lover of great music.

Thanks Rosalie for this beautiful analysis.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

So beautiful words in the end. Thank you.

[@TransRadioUK_Andrea]

Having watched this masterpiece of musical and video artistry, listen to your review has proved that the idea for this song gives such a special and very unique perspective on this wonderful planet we call home. Each and every step in this video is perfection explaining such complex histories of human existance in a way that pulls the viewer deeper into understanding of the world and the human condition, this is just an amazing song and it will most definitely appeal to so many who take the time to listen to it.

[@anssiroiha2267]

Thank you for this reaction! Greetings from 🇫🇮❤️❤️

[@lillianekockritz2796]

Dear Rosalie, great reaction to a real masterpiece. In my opinion you really understood the message of the story Tuomas is telling with this song/video. Yes, we are the offspring of myriad ancestors starting with LUCA (or perhaps even earlier as stardust). All these ancestors still live in us and designed us, but besides this everyone of us has to write her/his own book of life and perhaps becomes the creator of another lineage, of "another tale". I especially love this "return to the sea" in the video, to our origin where life started on planet Earth.

[@sonet1978]

It's a Pleasure, to watch You,Lady Rosalie..❤

[@missrubyphoenix]

The video is fascinating, as it starts with the big bang (tying TGSOE and Shoemaker with those space shots) a cosmogony bit, then continues with the reptile that jumps into the water, the very source of life. The detailed fact of what it takes for us to exist is just mindblowing. Ngl, the open shot of the diver floating in the ocean tickled my anxiety, especially as the light/bait on the giant anglerfish's head becomes slowly visible (terrifying as heck) Next step in the evolution process, are the primitive organisms changing time and time again, creating many different species, including the homo sapiens sapiens, the toolmaker, the human we are today, (aka Tuomas), it also shows the raw, predator-prey dynamic. The section on the natural history museum is my favourite. The fossils are super cool, and the old-looking encyclopedias stand beautifully on the shelves. Floor's free fall into her own history pages reminded me of Élan, loved seeing the different shots, like multiple sides of her. Then back to the water, finally, a sort of fusion between her and Tuomas appear to be the first "curious ghosts" to explore the museum, though Kai's is already there, reading (The Portrait of Dorian Gray? I mean, because of how his face turned into a skull), I'm not sure how he got there though, but I'm guessing that every time the diver comes out of the water, it represents each of them. Emppu's journey took me by surprise, he seems to be a peculiar jellyfish, though it makes sense, the man himself is quite peculiar in the best way. Troy observing and gently reaching out to the butterflies is a lovely scene, like cherishing the smallest, most fragile living beings. A badass breakdown, mixed with visuals that gave me Procession vibes. Jukka's ghost disintegrating like that gave me the idea of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". The last shot of the diver floating with the whales is beautiful, I've always loved their calls/songs. Then, everything comes to a full circle with that drop of water that nurtures the earth. At the end of our journey through this world, we will go back to where we came from. We become one with mother nature.

[@SymphonicEllen]

Been trying to link this to several psychological types cause Tuomas is always so poetic, and the band does amazing at bringing what he writes to life. Definitely getting this album, hopefully on CD 🥰

[@Inanna1477]

I am amateur genealogist and did my own tree. It is such a journey, and you read so many things, from sadness to joy. One of the reasons is that i want to give them back their name. I went back to 1600 and time will tell how far i can get more. Great reaction! And goodluck in your journey!

Hello, Rosalie. I have watched and listened to this dozens of times already and it gets better and more impactful each time. This is a masterpiece on the order of The Greatest Show on Earth. Magical.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

You know, I was thinking of “the greatest show on earth” when I heard it. Wish I would have mentioned that. It def goes with that thematic and concept. And yet it’s its own masterpiece. Amazing!

[@timchambers8230]

That was wonderful Rosalie. - The sad thing is that Tuomas’s writes so beautifully and poetically about this theme and yet he has no children of his own…

[@WaterBug46]

Thank you as always for your heart first analysis. This was stunning. When the figure dove into the page and then emerged into the ocean was my oh wow moment. The expanse of both, like us. Perfume of the timeless. Utter brilliance

I love that they've continued with the recurring themes of nature, life and evolution following the Human Nature album. It's just so fitting that the band itself and several of its members have had newly discovered species named after them.

[@garricksmalley1733]

For me what I noticed was at the start a cacophony of sounds resolving into drums or the sound of a heartbeat. Sometimes when I make playlists I arrange the songs to reflect the path of my life so far leading into how I want it to develop. This can include what I hope to find after my death (heaven). This song felt similar. Thank you for (all) your reaction(s). ❤

[@peterwilding1203]

Is Tuomas the deepest thinker in the world today? Such a polymath, a Renaissance man: so widely-read and artistic on so many different levels, in such a wide variety of topics. The sheer poetry of those lyrics. The haunting melody, and varying orchestration. As always, Nightwish gives the emotions a thorough wringing-out. And so much thoughtfulness packed into the video; I:d heard the song, but the video gives an extra dimesion, an extra depth. Our place in time; ancestors and descendents. Wonderful reaction, Rosalie. Really made me think.

[@gabrielrusso6676]

me encanto tu analisis y me hiciste emocionar con tu emocion, eso es lo que provoca Nightwish, seguramente estamos conectados de alguna forma con nuestra sensibilidad, todo lo que hablaste me parecio real y nada actuado como muchos analisis, por ultimo un perfume de lo atemporal para mi, es algo que esta en el aire y dura en el tiempo, eres una bella persona en todas sus concepciones, saludos.

[@Argheen666]

youre reactions best :) ich finde es so genial wie du musik fühlst und verstehst .

[@peterdoe2617]

I was about to send that link to u last night, when I 1st saw it: "Rosalie will LOVE this one!" Isn't it funny, how us (who know Nightwish) are just jumping in: "a new song by Nightwish? Gotta listen!" What I think of as a phenomenon: I don't know of any other band in any genre that made science a major part of their songs. And they've been doing this for quite a while. With Richard Dawkins on stage with them...WE! know. But I've never seen it so prominent. tool did some things in that direction. I was like you, one minute in: it was dusty, here in my room! An idiom u used did trigger me: "to walk in someone's shoes". You'll like this one: Eivoer Palsdottir: "In my shoes". I'll be watching her again on oct, 2nd, here in Hamburg. Also great for a psychologist to react to: piece by piece. (I've been in such a relationship.) You've reacted on her song Trollabundin.

[@Rackelhane]

Spot on i think. At least from my Angel. Nightwish is back with a masterpiece.Thank you.❤

[@joeturner1181]

"A typical masterpiece" - that's saying so much right there; very well put! I haven't watched the video enough times to really unpack all the imagery, much less get to the music.

[@irenehabes-quene2839]

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The Lovely Bunch of Coconuts appears to be the Nightwish company that is owned by all the current members of Nightwish. It's the official name of the Finnish company and registered in Finland. Before Jukka Koskinen joined the band, the Nightwish was managed via company called Oily Empire, also registered in Finland and owned by the then-current lineup.

[@WNYretiree]

There have been some complaints that Floor's voice is buried too far in the mix. But, I wonder, given what you have said, if that isn't because Tuomas wanted to remind us of all that are behind and before us. Her voice is still the one you hear the clearest, but behind her, you also hear the choir mixing with, and becoming part of her music.

[@craigbolton5093]

I was one of the initial complainers, but after a few listens I think I know where Tuomas was going...

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Oh wow!! Yes!!! Wow!! What a powerful and beautiful interpretation.

[@kezca]

Agree with that too i thought that too

[@cornelbruggemann1203]

Exactly. I thought the same but after several times hearing this I can see the purpose as well

[@strabel803]

If it was a concious decision to mix it like "they" did,so be it, artisticly it's a choise maby not to argue,soundwise,for me,it's a bit more nuanced,first,it's a great song and fantastic video but,from a audio standpoint/view there are really some little parts,like some endings of sentences from Floor,wich drown (not only in the choirs) in the music. In general it sounds great but ,if i have to choose between artistic interpretation or soundwise,it's the sound i prefer because the artistic message is already in the video and the lyrics. Maby it's personnel view and certainly not a thing to say that it is bad,it's just a "ietsie pietsie"(Dutch for Just a little bit)better for me if vocals on some (little) parts would be a bit more louder.😉🤘 Oh,i forgot to say, live ,this is gonna be a blast.😝

[@pen7759]

Hi ! it´s all about what you said here. Thank you!

[@Donna-C]

“The Best” reaction to this song!! You provided an insight throughout the song & in your summary that is very important to understand - We are a part of something - what was before is & what will be. How life has evolved to survive. WE WERE HERE. TGSOE: "After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it?" [- Professor Richard Dawkins]

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

I love how you put “the best” in quotation marks. I could be wrong, but I interpret that as, the idea of something being the best is relative since I mentioned in my video we’re all bringing a different angle and all part of the whole :-) and if that is indeed what you meant, I think that’s so awesome you took that into consideration and I’m honored you enjoyed my analysis and reminded us of the powerful statement, we were here!

[@jukka7697]

In the beginning everything is going forward, even the books are going from left to right as time. Then in the jump scene, pages are coming away from the book and everything starts to go backwards in time. Also the books are going from right to left. Even the sound that Rosalie pointed out is played backwards. So many hints and details to miss.

[@Donna-C]

Hmm - good pick up!

Send ich genau so 🤘🤘🤘

it's hard to tell if it's even a song anymore.. but something else, something more.. maybe a sense of presence and beauty of history?

Regarding the Mix for POTT. Think it probably struck us all as a bit ‘different’ but having listened to it a dozen or so times, I think they are using the mix as a way of telling the story. The theme of the song is that we are the result of the generations before and we will pass on to the generations to come (gross oversimplification) So Floor comes in and picks up the melody , becomes part of the living forefront and then fades and becomes part of the choir. Then after she has gone the mantle is taken up by Troy to be passed down the line.
