Sentimental! Reaction to Nightwish "Lanternlight"

Those who have left this life still hold a lantern for us to see by. Their memories still guide us. I love this song. For me, it's the best song on the album.

It should win the Grammy for best new song and video. But the Grammy’s are a joke!

[@Cherlindrea99]

Just listen to the song on Spotify, again and again. The more you listen, the more it will appear for other listeners. This song is a potential huge Christmas hit. I think a lot of people will like it because it is a ballad. Ballads from metal and hardrock bands sometimes turn out to be huge hits. Well, just like the song and listen to it a lot. This is how a song will appear on the billboard charts. This one will for sure.

[@kentk2215]

Tuomas wrote this as a tribute to his father who passed away in 2021. While somber and a little sad, it has a positive outlook, celebrating life, of others and and living our own to the fullest. Scaretale would probably be thr most “Halloweeny” song of Nightwish, and Anette song. You guys take care. Hope you have a generator, and are as prepared as you can be. Will keep you in prayers. 🙏🏽

[@pdutchie4924]

Lanternlight is breathtakingly gorgeous ❣️ Not able to listen to this with dry eyes, it goes straight to your soul. It’s so fragile and strong at the same time. What a gorgeous piece of music composed by Tuomas and so emotionally sung by Floor. Tuomas said that Lanternlight is a song of love to celebrate live of the people that passed. In this case mainly his dad. My favorite song from the new album followed by An Ocean of Strange Islands.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This hits straight to you soul. 🥹

[@lillianekockritz2796]

Thank you very much for your reaction. I hope the hurricane will not harm you. This song and An Ocean of Strange Islands are my favourite songs from the new album. The male singer is Troy. Gone is the hurt, the wait, gone is the warmth of day. A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved, on into a velvety night, beneath a lanternlight. Last night brought the heaviest of snows melting the songs of old, tying the boat, write a new one soon, sending me to the drowning moon, far above a lanternlight. I'm in the light and flood, I'm in the four winds, I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems, I am the snow on your palm. I am the secret stream, moss beneath your feet, I am you who climbed off of my back not long ago, a sheltered song in a world now gone, petrichor, the timeless. Turn loose the swaying boat, meltwater, sound of spring. I hear our song now, sung by the free, for a thousand more tomorrows of an incomplete weave. To the meadows I go, I’ll be waiting for you once upon a lanternlight. I walk now toward the trees, I am the secret stream, the night falling at my feet into the forest of Yesterwynde.

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for posting the lyrics, and for the well-wishes. We hope to come out the other side unscathed.

[@rickphil9999]

Gorgeous in every respect. As a long time Nightwish fan, this is one of my very favorite albums. Tuomas, Floor, Troy, and the entire band, along with the orchestra and choir, simply perfect. Love it and thank you both for this reaction.

Nothing ever dies . In Physics we say that energy is tranforming but never dies. The human soul is Gods energy, it can't die. Very nice song. I really liked your reactions!

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you.

[@chriso6719]

A beautiful ballad. That's what I heard, that this was the first song Tuomas wrote after his father's passing. Album vocals were recorded at Floor's home studio in Sweden. She said it was about 6 weeks after 2nd daughter Lucy was born. Last track on the album, the song ends with the movie projector winding down sound. The first track on the record starts with a projector winding up sound. Good luck with the storm. "Scaretale' by Nightwish would fit for Halloween. Music video and Official live have Anette and Marko on vocals.

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for that suggestion. That's a cool tidbit about the movie projector...very artistic. We hope we'll get through OK, we're inland far enough that they are not recommending evacuation here.

[@montylowas4486]

Nice reaction, this is the last track of the trilogy. I too have lost my parents and my wife in the last 2 years, father and wife Cancer prevailed. Long battle for my wife and I since 2016 when the cancer was diagnosed. This song what I call another Masterpiece from Nightwish can hit a person very deeply and hard, and I agree with your viewpoints, great reaction.

[@Frightspear]

Pure Floor. I love this song. Btw, this song was Floor's pick for a single, it made her cry when she first heard it (I had the same reaction to this song, it's so touching). Tuomas lost his father a few years ago and he wrote this song out of that emotion. The message is to enjoy life, as it's beautiful and should be celebrated instead of grieved when it ends.

[@CoachCastTV]

That's almost exactly what Coach's mom wrote to him and his brother before she passed. To enjoy life and not grieve over her loss.

Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that Tuomas wrote to celebrate the life of his father that passed away in 2021. For me it empowers us to recognize our connection to nature and one another, ultimately signifying that even in times of uncertainty, despair & sorrow, there is beauty and hope to be found under the glow of the lanternlight. P.S. Their new album "Yesterwynde" is a sonic masterpiece.

[@KaisaValkama]

Hi again sweet Coach-couple! I saw this song waking up your memories both with sorrow and also thankfulness, while thinking of your passed loved ones. Tuomas says this is a lovesong. This is last song of Yesterwynde-lp and the ending sounds like old movie-projector is stopping gradually. The first song of this slbum starts with the same sound. So it kind of closes the circle at the end. USA seems to be "funny" place to live cause you have to choose between hurricanes and snowstorms. As you can see from the video, we have long winters with snow and ice-covered lakes, but no hurricanes in Finland. I truly hope that you will survive again..and continue reactions with Yesterwynde. Thank you for this one. I'll see you again next time. ...Kaisa from Finland

Serious Valkyrie spirit indeed, and has to have to have core muscles of steel to sign 6 weeks after birthing ...most have issues moving comfortably at all at that stage....

Most beautiful song on the album, incredibly touching. There are not many singers who can transfer emotions to listeners like Floor can. As for scary song, there's Scaretale (sung by the 2nd singer, Anette Olzon), a must for Halloween. Thanks for your reaction and stay safe

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you!

[@stpfs9281]

Starting deep and low... This sounds like her solo album, I think Tuomas likes the variety of her singing. The pocket watch to wind... The old style film projector, a “Magic Lantern”. The old flickering movies, like memories. Floor soaring away. Celebration of their lives, rather than mourning. Floor said that she chokes up too easily with this song, the band rewinds, during the sessions, to let her recover. Mmm, the warmth of her voice. “Last night brought the heaviest of snows” That sad piano about to sink below the ice. “Melting the songs of old” Reminiscences, love of the souls that have gone before. Tuomas wrote this in memory of his father. Hope you were able to get through the Hurricane safely.

[@stpfs9281]

That was quick! Oh, "Scaretale", or "Spider Silk"? Haha!

It's sad you lost your parents both at a young age. I lost my father aged 63 and still think of that as young. Thankfully, my mum lived till she was 82. An age that was much older than her health indicated ahe would live. My mums doctor stated years ago that she wouldn't live to see 40. The same doctor saw her well past that age and was quite stunned she was still in the land of the living. It's so great that you have such a fondness for your parents and that you wanted to preserve the memories. You obviously had a happy family life. In my work and in my volunteering capacity from the past, I have come across people who have or had parents who didn't care for their offspring. The most important thing in life is family.

Not quite what I was expecting from a Nightwish song, but I love it. Dreamy, very lyrical singing, and I especially love the tinkly piano! I'm watching this reaction on Tuesday afternoon, (5.15pm BST) so just know that you're in my thoughts as the hurricane approaches. An online friend of many years was flooded out of her home last week in N. Carolina, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't suffer a similar trauma in your new home. 🤞 It has occurred to me that for a while I've been meaning to mention another 'classic' British band that I'd like you to react to. The Hollies. My two favourite songs of theirs are: 'The Air that I breathe' and 'He ain't heavy, he's my brother'. 😊

[@CoachCastTV]

Thank you. We are hopeful to escape most of the storm's fury, but a large number of people will be significantly impacted, no doubt. We are sorry to hear about your friend, NC took a beating, for sure. Believe it or not, we have heard those songs by The Hollies. Excellent music!

And when you have a voice like Floors giving voice to you lines, together with Troy's... if you like more of that, check out "how's the heart" accoustic version. That one is from their "human nature" album, the last one before this. there's a verse in there written for Floor by Tuomas, about her family and the birth of their first daughter. The accoustic version was so well received they occasionally did that one on tour. Thanks again for this video and see you next time.
