I lost my Father 6 years ago, and my mother 5 years ago, listening to this, will bring me memories of them, and this is a song of sadness, beauty and hope at same time, its a song i would consider a masterpiece, love it!! This was the first song Tuomas wrote for the new album Yesterwynde

This is an exceptional album. Floor's vocals are amazing as recorded only six weeks after giving birth to Lucy.

This song reminds me of "Our Decades In the Sun" it has a similar subject matter, family, and loved ones. The line "I am you who climbed off of my back" is a reference to "Our Decades In the Sun" I think. And the album, Yesterwynde, feels like a hybrid between Nightwish and Auri.

Great to see you reacting to this! It's the last song on the album and it had me in tears... 'Yesterwynde' is a fantastic album. It takes you on a journey through time and life with captivating stories and great melodies. Absolutely worth a listen.

Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that for me empowers us to recognize our connection to nature and one another, ultimately signifying that even in times of uncertainty, pain and/or sorrow, there is beauty and hope/solace to be found under the glow of the lanternlight.

As others have mentioned, this song is personal to Tuomas and there are references to a couple of his songs with his Auri side project. "I'm in the light and flood" references Auri's song "Light and Flood", and "I'm in the four winds" also references the Auri song "Scattered to the Four Winds". Auri is one of Tuomas's other musical ventures that he does with his wife Johanna Kurkela and fellow Nightwish members Troy Donockley and Kai Hahto. It has a much different feel than Nightwish. Some of the lyrics also reference older NW songs and other songs on this same album as well but the Auri lines are the more easily missed ones. You are also correct, this album is meant to be listened to start to finish as an experience, but they actually consider the past 2 albums as part of a trilogy. Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Human | Nature, and now Yesterwynde. Nightwish are musical storytellers and these albums are connected.

I think some of this song and video makes me think of Auri's Night13.

@@ecbftl You may be correct. I had already heard Auri's catalogue but I didn't catch the references upon first listen. I had looked up the lyrics on genius and there were updates made highlighting phrases in the song about what they mean, but those are contributed by users. These songs are so fresh that probably not all of the references have been connected on there yet.

Thank you, very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Never, in the history of music entertainment, have a set of skills and talent collided in such powerful manner. Tuomas is a true genius as a composer and with lyrics.

This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava. I'm 73 and the last man standing in my family. I understand the loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. Nevertheless, Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. Her face, good Lord, her face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.

This is the last song on the album, the intro of Yesterwynde begins with the old film projector sound & ends with the same sound. The film is reminiscing lost loved ones.

Enjoyed your reaction! Final song from the final album of the trilogy. It feels to me like someone saying goodbye to family and friends as their life comes to the end. Loads of beautiful imagery in the lyrics of seeing the end, of reminding those we love that we will always be present, of lamenting the unfinished things we leave behind (as is always the case), and then walking "to the trees". Since Tuomas is famous for writing lyrics for multiple interpretations I could also see this song where the narrator is death personified, much like the way the lyrics in Music were. A third way I see it is that the lyrics aren't necessarily about a person but are instead a metaphor for humanity and our walk through the eons of our existence which would fit well with the themes of the album trilogy. For me the line "I am you who climbed off your back" gives me Decades in the Sun vibes and of course "To the meadows I go" is tapping into the same symbolism and meaning as Meadows of Heaven. Heartachingly beautiful song and a perfect bookend to the album and trilogy.
