Remember also, Floor´s parents were at this concert as VIP guests, when she saw afterwards on video their reactions to her, she cried.

"The Reunion" documentary, if you didn't already love Floor that will do it!

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

Most groups:" Lets write a song about boy meets girl, girl meets boy, etc." Nightwise: "Lets do some music about the creation of the Earth, the development of life, the evolution of intelligent life and it's demise. Oh yeah and all in one song..."

[@damienmaynard8892]

and then cut it down because 30+ minutes is too long... how's 24 minutes? Tuomas: "I can do that!"

[@Metal_Auditor]

Sorry, but your comment reminded me of... Frank : It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. Jane : Goodyear? Frank : No, the worst.

Floor’s parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them. Sensory overload… Nightwish style. The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible

When Henri walks in, the whole room lights up. Sabina is a little more analytical. Henri is a little more emotional. That makes for a dynamic duo. Enjoyed it. Thanks so much.

I started laughing so hard at Henri's expression when Floor did those caveman growls. That expression was priceless!

[@okiejohn3925]

Floor, Marco AND Troy were all growling at the "caveman" section. Floor's endurance in this song is INCREDIBLE, with the amount of belting she does throughout, plus it's the last song of a 2 hour concert! Congrat's on your first AWESOME year! It's been a joy!

[@markschattefor6997]

This was a very special concert for Floor, because her parents were in the audience.

[@stpfs9281]

"The Reunion" documentary, we get to meet them, Floor said she would have to avoid looking at them, in case she choked up. When she saw the documentary, she did.

[@diceymaan]

You can see how humble Tuomas is, when Marko says "koskettimet Tuomas Holopainen". He has like a coy smile and just wants to start playing music so the attention shifts from him more to the music 😄

[@thenephilim9819]

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

This is the biggest Nightwish show in the homefield, about 23000 in the audience at the Ratina Stadium 31.7.2015 . The Wembley Arena version is very good, and there is Richard Dawkins himself. Still most of us think this version is a little more epic. There's fireworks and stuff. This really is a pompose song about the Evolution, but it's also the best prog song of this 2000's Century. Thank you, beautiful girls, and a Good Night!

[@ioaKouts]

Just for now, it is my duty to introduce you to some info about the lyrics. Lyrics are in " " [Part 1: Four point Six] "Archaean horizon, The first sunrise" Earth's history is divided into four principal Eons: the Hadean, the Archean, Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. The Hadean is the Eon during which the Earth and Moon formed; in the Archaean, primordial life appeared. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth "On a pristine gaea" Gaia is the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth. More recently, the Gaia hypothesis is a recognition of the living and nonliving Earth systems which form an interdependent whole. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia "Opus perfectum, Somewhere there, us sleeping" Pristine perfection (of silence, of a blank page, of the very point from which the big bang itself sprung) implies a rich creative potential. Here Earth is painted in the same powerful way. Diversity awaits; unborn beings are sleeping the same sleep to which they will return at death. This interpretation is thematically linked with the album's opening track, "Shudder before the Beautiful," which includes the lyrics, "The music of this awe, Deep silence between the notes, Deafens me with endless love." Or as the furious hobbit screamed at the novice trumpeter, "An artist respects the silence, it serves as the foundation of creativity." [Part 2: Life] "The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire, A careless cold infinity in every vast direction. Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone" Gravity pulls the Earth around the energizing Sun in an otherwise inhospitable universe. Earth is the only planet in our solar system's circumstellar habitable zone, orbiting at the "just right, not too hot, not too cold" distance from the Sun. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone "She has a tale to tell, From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast, Enter LUCA" In astronomy, stellar nurseries are the birthplaces of stars: they nurse stars Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation#Stellar_nurseries Poetically, our solar system is another "stellar nursery," in which a star is the nurse, caring for and warming a planet of 'newborns,' early carbon-based life. "Feast" evokes the incorporation of plentiful chemical building blocks into rudimentary life forms. "LUCA" stands for "Last universal common ancestor," the one single organism from which all other presently existing life on Earth descended. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_ancestor "The tapestry of chemistry is a writing in the garden, Leading us to the mother of all" The periodic table of elements does look like a sort of patchwork tapestry, but this can go further. The historical function of tapestries was as "nomadic murals," pictographical histories which moving people could pack up and revisit wherever they went. The "writing in the garden," in nature, is not only the stone murals left by dead animals in the form of fossils, but is also this chemical writing that encodes the relatively nomadic DNA molecule with the instructions for life. The scientific investigation of this information leads us back to LUCA, and further. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapestry#Function "We are one, We are a universe," This is the natural conclusion to draw from the fact that life shares common origin, that all life is built with the same blocks, and that all life on Earth is interdependent (gaia hypothesis). The multiplicity of beings on Earth are one, just as the cells in a body are one. "Forebears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea." The Devonian geologic time period marked the first significant, rapid diversification of life (and the more well-known Cambrian explosion is another of these 'adaptive radiation' events). It was during the Devonian that the 'higher plants' appeared and blanketed the continents with forests. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian . The word "scion" refers to a shoot of a plant cut for grafting, and is also used to denote a descendent of a notable family. Both meanings apply. "Aeons pass, Writing the tale of us all. A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth" Evolutionary adaptation is written in the DNA and as fossils in the rocks, and is ongoing. Species die, diversifiy and delineate. Every day is different, every day something changes. "Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars" Ion channels are found in the membranes of all cells, controlling the flow of energy through the cells. The stuff of stars is all the physical matter we're made of. So it's the ion channels, guiding enery, which allow living bodies to interact with the rest of the world by exchanging energy with it. "Stuff of stars" is surely a Sagan reference: "The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff." For fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jniuaWeGpMqspM0 "Bedding the tree of a biological holy, Enter life" The bed of a tree is the nutrient-rich soil from which it grows, a soil made of dead things. The "tree of a biological holy" is probably the tree of life en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_life_(biology) . This line refers to the "holy" legendary tree of everlasting life but also means the conceptual, branching family tree of all life, whose bed consists of all deceased beings (in a more literal sense), or all extinct ancestral species (in a more abstract sense). This is thematically linked with the song "Alpenglow." "We are here to care for the garden, The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful" "We" could be human beings tasked with acting as nature's stewards, garden of eden style, but that's not chronological -- human beings haven't quite appeared in the song yet. "We" could instead be all of life itself, in a gaia-philosophy sense, which posits that life creates environments ever more hospitable to more life. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_philosophy Or maybe it's a combination of these two thoughts: life eventually creates an environment suitable for the development of consiously acting, thinking human stewards. [Part 3: The Toolmaker] "After a billion years, The show is still here. Not a single one of your fathers died young." Every single one of a given person's ancestors, male and female, lived past puberty at least. But "fathers" evokes "forefathers," which has a nicer storytelling ring to it than "parents." "The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar" Handymen are good with tools; travelers posessing hands rather than forefeet walk upright. Hominids originated in Africa and spread to the rest of the world from there. Lucy is a particular specimen of the Australopithecus, one of many "missing links" between modern humans and nonhuman ancestors. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus) "Gave birth to fantasy, To idolatry, To self-destructive weaponry. Enter the God of gaps Deep within the past. Atavistic dread of the hunted!" The brain grows, consciousness and creativity along with it. Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type, an evolutionary throwback. Fight-or-flight instincts that helped human ancestors survive have now been creatively projected onto the world to both explain it (origins, meaning, suffering) and gain security in it (bargaining through sacrifice). These are the roots of theism. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism "Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought, The architecture of understanding. The human lust to feel so exceptional, To rule the Earth" Nomadic people develop agriculture and settle down into civilizations. The word "architecture" is at once both literal and figurative. The efficiency of civilization graces people with free time to do more than just feed themselves. They develop rich cultural traditions, arts and philosophies, much of which are deeply influenced by how different humans now are from all the rest of life. "Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds, The will to do as you'd be done by." Shiny rocks are wealth: gold, precious stones, jewels, and later uranium which leads to the nuclear arms race. The golden rule -- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -- is a coin with a dark side: "an eye for an eye," revenge. This ensures the "MAD"ness of mutually assured destruction. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction "Enter history, the grand finale. Enter ratkind." "Ratkind" comes from Richard Dawkins' book "The Ancestor's Tale." Dawkins imagines a post-apocalyptic world in which rodents feast on the remnants of humanity (and humanity's garbage). The rat population explodes, and then as they exhaust these resources they turn on one another for food. As a consequence of natural selection, the rats diverge into new carnivorous and herbivorous species, and perhaps, eventually, a specices of rodent whose intelligence rivals that of humans. This is "ratkind." Https://iberianature.com/wildworld/tag/ratkind/ "Man, he took his time in the sun, Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand." From William Blake: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour." ...And the story of the planet in 24 minutes. Not bad. "He gave birth to poetry, But one day'll cease to be. Greet the last light of the library" A bittersweet redundancy: poetry with library, the last light with ceasing to be. Reminiscent of Elan: "Be the first to greet the morn [...] Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral." "We were here!" Who else is going to vote for this song's inclusion on the next Voyager golden record, if there'll ever be one? I want to beam this song into space forever.

[@davfive]

Well damn, that was a fascinating read (haven't followed all the links yet) and definitely filled in some gaps in my understanding. Much thanks. Maybe one thing to add in the Atavism section might be to also explain the phrase "God of gaps" which ties into your "roots of theism" comment. Where "god of gaps" is the human tendency to credit god when they perceive "holes" in the scientific analysis (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps). I learned of this from "Historian Reacts" analysis of this song (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6XEi4GMqaqroNE), which was also super interesting.

[@williamhall9524]

Tuomas is the keyboard player. Marko is the bass player who sings and growls. And that was Troy who plays the flute and other strange instruments, also the guitar and sings. That wasn't bagpipes, he didn't blow into it. It was Uillean pipes he had a bellows between his elbow and body that he pumped air into it that allows him to sing as he plays. I enjoy your reactions, especially when Henri is with you. That was Troy, Marko & Floor making those growling noises.

[@chadbennett7873]

I don't think anything can make me feel better than seeing their friendship and love for each other while taking the bows. I don't know if any band is more about the band and less about self than Nightwish. Their dedication to greatness is unsurpassed and makes the sum of their parts far greater than I bet even they thought possible. As Floor and Tuomas are walking off, arm around his shoulder, I can only imagine: "Thank you for giving me this brilliance to sing!" and "Thank you for giving my music wings!" This is why they have the greatest and most loyal fanbase I've ever seen - Count me in!

[@schout33]

The "animal" sounds were done by Troy, Marko and Floor together. To hear Floor really growl check out her former band 'Revamp'. Here Floor experimented with different vocal styles within one song, such as from full operatic to serious growling in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples.

[@horscategorie]

The "animal" sounds were done by Marco and Troy to imitate the homo erectus/sapiens and early humans to exist. The part is called "toolmaker" when humans came into picture of evolution. In the beginning there was a big bang (fireworks) - since then universe started to form (and continued during piano and flute solos to organize). Tuomas and Marco wrote this epic musical story after Tuomas has read the book of same name...by Richard Dawkins. His lines are here also included.

Let's also have a shout out to professor Richard Dawkins, whose book "The greatest show on earth" is the inspiration to the song and who also performs in the song as the voice reading the quotes from the book.

Wonderful, wonderful reaction!!!! Your faces and expressions of awed wonder said it all. No matter how many times I see this performance or reactions to it, I always come away with something new. This time is no different. An OMG moment hit, right from the beginning; something I just noticed.... The intro is so, so serene and peaceful, but I *think* there's some deep correlation and meaning even in that. The keyboard/piano intro starts with a single held note, followed by a pattern of six. And as the pattern of six is repeated, the sixth note is held as if to be the ONE again, starting the sequence over. The atomic number of hydrogen is one. The base element from which all others are fused. The atomic number of the primary isotope of carbon is 6. The element on which all known life on Earth is based. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?!?!?!? Nightwish apparently, and specifically Tuomas. Holy. Crap.

[@stpfs9281]

Wow, nice "Easter Egg"! I found one you might like, almost as a throwaway line, after: "Giant mushroom clouds"; "The will to do just as you'd be done by." Mrs Do-as-you-would-be-done-by, a character in “The Water Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby”, by Charles Kingsley, a positive parody of “On The Origin of Species”! Ocean Born. A story of child workers, class differences, love, morals, hope! It has been published many times since the 1860's, illustrated by many greats of the time: such as; Mabel Lucie Attwell (1915), W.

Is that what Floor does to everyone 🤟🤟👸👸

[@chrish9840]

Dear Sabina and Henri, Hi from the UK. What an epic performance with many layers based on evolution. The instrumentals and vocal gymnastics were unbelievable. Floor can really sell a story through her emotional performance. The "bagpipes" are actually Uilleann pipes and are the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland. Earlier known in English as "union pipes", their current name is a partial translation of the Irish language terms píobaí uilleann, from their method of inflation. Great reactions and analysis from you both. Your facial expressions during the performance said it all! Best wishes and stay safe.

[@JariJuslin]

Troy said in an interview uilleann pipes are notoriously tricky to play as you pump the air with your arm. "You need to be slightly crazy to play them. But only slightly."

Floor's monotone monologue in part 2 always reminds me of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. LOL Floor: "Will you sing with us"? Smashes a series of D5 belts....like yeah nah miss not even tryin that LOL

[@bevohw]

It's always nice to see your faces and hear your comments I have waited a long time for this one. Thanks both of you Enjoyed it Greetings from a Dutch man

[@randalljones4370]

Henri, your expression throughout the 'caveman' sequence is my favorite. Thank you Sabina, for sharing your musical journeys with us (random folks) on the net. Enjoy life.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Great reaction to a great song! One thing that amuses me about this performance is when Floor says "won't you sing with us?", she then belts out a G5.

[@alexstorr5511]

A beautiful song and a reaction from two beautiful ladies. 🇩🇰 🇬🇧

Every time Henri smiles my heart melts,,,

[@lost_in_a_crowd_of_3257]

happy birthday, have enjoyed your reactions and hope for your continued success

[@papaverweg]

I only would correct (minor item) the bagpipes Troy played is not a Scottish one but the Uilleann (Irish for Elbow) pipes is the Irish name for the Irish bagpipe which, unlike the Scottish bagpipe, is not mouth-blown, but is held on the lap while the air is pumped with the elbow by means of a bellows so he can play and sing at the same time.

[@danielgarri30]

Happy first a anniversary to you channel, I'm very happy you chose this one to celebrate this very special date

[@leemarinus]

Thank you both for listening from the first until the end. That shows respect to the music and the band, I know youtube suggests otherwise... loved your reactions. And open mouth to let in all the flies, is mandatory

[@OrpheusKrynn]

After watched this video i just fell in love with Henri :D Amazing reactions i loved it :D

[@clemenstremens1940]

In the virtual show part 2, Floor did a really deep growl in this song, scaring the sh*t out of Troy🤘(Tuomas laughing)

[@10animallover10]

The whole part was simply a joy to watch! :D I had as much of a grin on my face as Tuomas did :)

[@jacquelinelofland]

The Fey have come into this dimension and formed a metal band!

Congrats girls, and to all the Danish peeps. :)

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Thank you Sabina for playing this video to the end, it is marvelous and the words of Richard Dawkins so profound. Many reactors stop too quickly.

[@stpfs9281]

The music and sounds are still the choice of Tuomas! The sound of the Humpback Whale, a tribute to Star Trek: Voyager?

[@randalladams7692]

Cheers happy times glad your friend is with you have her more you 2 rock

[@Iceman-135]

For half the song, I swear Henri is just O_O in awe of the song :D

[@artonx4719]

One of Tuomas' masterpieces. Epic...Happy birthday!

[@artonx4719]

Hello Sabina and Henri from the Netherlands. Thank you and congratulations on the anniversary of this channel that I often watch. Also for the nice response to the Greatest Show on Earth. I grew up in the time when pop music started and later the Metal era started in the late 60s and early 70s with bands like Black Sabbath (my first 2 albums i buy aged 17), Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and always keep listening to this music. And now I also still listen to this music from the newer bands such as Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Therion etc. with great pleasure. Greetings and up for you second year from a 67 year old Rock Metal lover.

[@sumeragicrow]

The animal sounds are a mix of Floor, Marco, Troy and a backtrack of sampled animal noises. Oh, and Floor can definitely growl. You can see her doing it with Nightwish on the chorus of Yours Is An Empty Hope.
