Tuomas. Modern Mozart. Brilliant musician

[@drewcifers8thcircleofheck307]

Tumoas is our Mozart, the sad part is that he never seems to get the recognition he so richly deserves. Smoothly blending heavy metal and classical into something greater than both, truly a musical genius.

[@thebirdman4324353]

Props for Don Rosa (seriously that is a kick ass name) for coming back and doing what is probably his first big project since he left Disney nearly ten years ago. But Don Rosa we miss your fantastic artwork. Tuomas, thank you for giving the legend the theme song he deserved. 

[@MioRaem]

I own the graphic novel as well and I gotta say Tuomas is right. It is beyond fantastic. This is different from every single other Disney comic. In fact, forget what you thought you knew about Disney comics, about comics in general. This isn't just ' a comic' for kids and nerds. Don Rosa created something special there. You gotta realize that he has drawn the entire life of Uncle Scrooge, mixing places and persons of our real world with the Disney fiction on such a high level it is unimaginable. If you ever wondered, why the Beagle Boys became Scrooge's arch enemies, how Ducktown came to be, who his parents and siblings were, what his childhood and youth was like, when and where he earned his first million, and the things he did, discovered and experienced, the countless people he met and places he saw long before Donald Duck was even born, it is all in there. It's no comic, it's a chronicle. And a terribly sad one, a tale of countless hardships and especially losses. And Tuomas music catches that perfectly. After you read this, Mickey Mouse will apear boring and pale to you compared to Scrooge. It will change your point of view on practically everything you thought you knew about the character who is so much more than just a very rich duck.

[@jezkn]

He's a fictional character - made up - the whole Disney 'duck dynasty is'. He never existed !!!! Don't invest too much belief in a talking cartoon duck !! I worry for you.

[@MioRaem]

jezkn You clearly don't understand what I mean. I worry for YOU because apparently you have no idea how much fun one can have with fictional characters. How sad. As if I'd think that it was real... No, it's obvious, you haven't read the graphic novel. Otherwise you'd understand what I wrote - that Rosa mixed reality and actual places and persons that really existed - like Pres. Roosevelt - with Disney fiction. Ah whatever. Writing this is a waste of time. You won't understand anyway.

[@jezkn]

Flingship373 Oh dear - i do seem to have pressed a button here. Sorry - I was only gently teasing. It's just that we dont have this devotion to Disney duck characters in UK so its hard for us to understand but I know you Finns are brought up on them. But yes - we do have a devotion to Hamlet - even though he's Danish not Finnish !

[@jezkn]

MioRaem Actually I do uinderstand how seriously you take these cartoon comic sagas in Finland (I didn't before hearing this Tuomas composition). You see - it would be quite impossible in UK (or even USA) to write such a wonderful and serious sounding piece as this dedicated to a Comic Disney Character, People would take the micky (pun was intended).. Hence my comment to you. But as the (extremely) passionate views on Ducksburg here show, it's revered in other parts of the world (like Finland). Why do you think the Fins (and others) have taken the Scrooge McDuck Universe and Don Rosa so much to their hearts whereas he's practically unheard of over here?.

[@jezkn]

Flingship373 Yes - great orchestration from Pip and the London choir he used too. I just hope he gets the audience reaction over here for it - but I suspect he'll be struggling sadly. (and in the USA too even though they 'hatched' Donald from a Disney egg over there!)

[@obbekjaer]

Even for a cartoon/comic character. That last picture of Scrooge on the mountain fills me with emotion. I really love the stories of when he was young. People always see him as this bitter, rich man who only cares about money. That picture sums up how he got there and that behind the image of a cold hearted man is a boy who grew up, lived a life of adventure and worked to get where he is now. And he took himself time to stop and admire the auroras in the night sky :)

BoUrnNe26 Yeah… I personally went from incredulity to amazement. I may have to get the comic just to see why it deserves this epicness…

[@BoUrnNe26]

rstrosah I haven't read the comic either but my guess is because it is one of his favorite stories as a kid and wanted to write music that to him, paid tribute to the story and is his way of showing his appreciation and respect to it.

[@BusterBluth413]

Definitely, definitely, definitely far from a metal song.

Once I had a dream, and this is it

[@thomasholger7419]

At first it was only music that sounded good and kept replaying in my head. Hours later i finally listened and started to wonder what this weird thing tried to say. Then i remembered the things i knew about scrooge, his first coin and his unreasonable and (financially disadvantageous) beloved adventures. Then i suddenly started to understand and listened to this song for the first time how it was meant to be listened to. It was never about the money, he also isn't really greedy. It is just that every touchable coin for him is a memory he made and it is unique. Thats the special thing about his money for him. It is not just money that can be exchanged to other money or coins. For him it is unique and that is also why he defends it with his life. Each coin is a touchable and unique memory and for him, that is his very life. Took me some time and actually made me grow. Thank you from my Heart.

[@darkcivilian]

I found this album in my local record store and I had no idea who Toumas was (although I knew about Nightwish) and I had never read the Scrooge comics, but I had loved the DuckTales cartoons as a kid. So I was dumbfounded to see Scrooge McDuck in the Metal section. Had to buy it, LOVED it. Such a great album. Seeing Don Rosa smile while listening to the music is a heartwarming moment and I've gotten to love the comics now thanks to this record.

That scene where he leaves the letter behind...WOW. Before Alan Young dies, I would love to see a 'Life and Times' mini-series. You can't get much more epic than matching Teddy Roosevelt in a fistfight. Also, it's wonderful to see Don Rosa in this video, especially in his moments of genuine joy and pride.

This is genius... This is EPIC! (O.O) But to be honest, I don't really know any word that can truly describe this piece of amazing music. The lyrics, the melody, the visuals in the video... I can't do it. I love it. That's all I can say. ... Seriously, I think I forgot to breathe for six minutes.

This is one of the songs nominated to be "a best of it all". A Legendary Master Piece from you Tuomas!🎉 May it be remembered and heard until eternity finally breaks and opens its gate to infinity! Very well done. I can''t hold my tears of joy listening to it.🎉

There are no words to describe how amazing this song and video are.

Tuomas never ceased to surprise with his music.Another beautiful song from him.

I'm not gonna lie, this is honestly one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Also, the best homage to Scrooge McDuck and Don Rosa for all time!

I always loved Life and Times, but i never realised how much it needed a soundtrack. This soundtrack.

[@MissLunaria]

The beginning of the song reminds me of the song that plays in Burmecia in Final Fantasy IX, which is a good thing in my opinion! ... I'm so happy for Tuomas, it must be incredible to have Don Rosa do the cover artwork of his album :)

[@wi5hmaster]

Once again Tuomas is proving his musical genius. And for that, I'm grateful. This is most likely the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

This is such a masterpiece. Tuomas is truly a genius, he never ceases to amaze me with his work.

A talent for the ages and an ever expanding library of mind bending music that will outlive us all. That's if we don't wipe ourselves out in the intervening time. I want something like this to survive, that would be evidence of humanity's soul, soiled though it may be. We Were Here.
