TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (REACTION) with my wife

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We would like to say a big thank you to all of you for the kindness, love and support we received in here. When posting a video with emotional reaction, we always feel hesitation, as internet can be a cruel place. But this time we are overwhelmed with your comments. Listening to this song was emotional, but reading your comments gave us another round of tears! Thanks to you our hearts are filled with joy! Stay well and see you in our next video! ❤

[@anthonyw7498]

Never stop showing your emotions. That's the problem with the world today, no one shows good emotions anymore. Tuomas has been blessed with the true understanding of what music is and what it is supposed to do.(touching your heart) If you wish to hear more of Tuomas's wife (Johanna) check out AURI.

[@ronjoanne5980]

We LOVE your reactions and all the emotions that go with them. We've watched many dozens of reactions to this performance and shed tears every time. Tuomas is brilliant and writes with emotion; in his DNA. His wife, Johanna, is blessed with a lovely and unique voice that presents the music of Tuomas perfectly. Glad you have experienced this one. Here is one from the group Auri, which adds Troy of Nightwish to Tuomas and Johanna: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJqnkIyagKiMis0 We think you will enjoy it. Your reactions to Nightwish are priceless. Stay safe and happy.

[@mikkosak]

The world needs more love, I think it is shouting more.

[@ATrainHC]

Tuomas and the rest of Nightwish all have side projects that gets to me. "While Your Lips are Still Red" is one that ALWAYS gets me. I want to see the movie that Marko and Tuomas wrote it for, but it's next to impossible to find it here. Whether it's drama, or health, or whatever, don't be ashamed to show it. It took me almost dying a couple of times (I thought my health wasn't that bad, but NEWSFLASH: I was in that bad of shape) before I finally swallowed my pride. A ruptured gallbladder and a tumor in my head was apparently a big deal. I'm better now because I let people help me. It's okay to feel!

[@AndyMagnusson70]

When you cry, we cry. That's how it works in the Nightwish community.

[@MAAP2920]

Thats deep reaction. Good music does that.

[@gabriel.bardac]

I had a tiring day at work, and quite sad. At the end of the working day, I "broke" my last 20 minutes to see your reaction. It touched me deeply. I was sitting in front of the PC with my headphones on and trying not to show my emotions to my colleagues, who had no idea what I was feeling at the time. Now, in the evening, I mustered up the courage and looked again. You are both precious 💖

[@marita2g]

Oh Gabriel. I hope your day gets better tomorrow.

[@ruma9687]

There's a reason I never watch anything if there's colleagues nearby :)

[@majbrat]

Hugs from Canada Gabriel. Thank you for continuing to be our Herald/General. You are a great person. Hope the rest of your month is better.

[@tapio7133]

You beautiful souls. If Tuomas sees your reaction, he will be pleased. Auri, listen Auris music too.

[@deeteenw]

Yes! Pearl Diving would be a good start.

[@tuijahakala3773]

Auris music is so beautifull. I love Night 13.

[@wanmac31]

😊🇫🇮❤️🎼💙🤘✨ Don Rosa 🤩 Tuomas is a Big Fan of Disney Ducks 💙👍

[@timrockman7]

Many people get goosebumps when the music touches the heart. I tear up.

[@marttivuorinen8475]

Nothing wrong with being emotional 🥰 You two are beautiful, honest, empathetic and brave showing us your feelings and that is why we all love your reactions 🥰

[@TeemarkConvair]

so true

[@jolandavanlankvelt2674]

I agree totally. It's why we all like to see your reactions because they are pure and honest.

[@rickphil9999]

Somehow, you two always capture the emotions that Tuomas's compositions bring out in all of us. This song is so lovely and yet haunting, especially with Johanna's magical voice layered over the top of the piano and orchestra. Both women in the video are named Johanna. Even though it is about the magical adventure of a life well lived, it carries the weight of sadness that is about approaching our journey's end. To be rich is to seek, to relive a memory. The older man is Don Rosa, the legendary cartoonist who created the Scrooge McDuck comic books... one of Tuomas's heroes. Tuomas wanted to create an album that captured the travels and adventures of Scrooge McDuck and he asked Don Rosa if he would do the artwork for the cover. Don told him that he had been retired for quite some time and wasn't sure he could do justice to the project. But when he finally agreed, Tuomas flew him to where he was recording with the orchestra and the cover came out great along with the footage. I love watching the two of you react to Nightwish. Keep them coming.

[@lettyalday7879]

You said it exactly right. Lovely yet haunting ❤️🎵🎤

[@kimmikke_]

Empaths (our reactors here) are the best ones to capture the emotions from tones and meanings behind Lyrics, especially from another Empath (Tuomas) composing the music and creating the lyrics 💗

[@paivijyrkinen636]

Whit Love from Finland!

[@markslobodian9461]

Beautiful...

[@heirantala]

Johannas voice just makes u cry. Ive seen her live twice and cried everytime. She is like fairyprincess. She is one of my favorite singers ever. Her christmasalbum just makes me cry sometimes of happiness and sometimes of sadness. She sounds like this live also. She hasnt been touring for a while now but Hope to see her someday again Loved ur reaction and all the best from Finland ❤️

[@gerdavandergeer6835]

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

You two are so beautiful. Love watching you and your reactions. Your emotions are mine. Thanks many,many times.

[@adlicious100]

Just 💜....from Holland 🇳🇱🌷🙏🏼

[@erwinamesz7642]

Tears cleanse the troubled soul. Keep them flowing and feel enlighted ❤

[@chriso6719]

Yes, that's Tuomas' wife, Johanna Kurkela, singing along with Finnish singer Johanna Iivanainen. Troy Donockley and the second Johanna's husband, Mikko, also play on this album. The man you asked about is Don Rosa, a comic book writer and illustrator who wrote The Life and Times of Scroodge McDuck, which this album is based on. Try also ,The Last Sled, from this record. Tuomas and his wife, along with Troy have a band called Auri, try Pearl Diving from that.

[@naruto9121983]

And ‘The Space Between’

[@PaulOutdoors]

A beautifully honest emotional reaction to a beautiful Tuomas Holopainen composition by two beautiful human beings. Thank you for bringing this 57 year old to tears... In a good way. Bless you both. 🙏😊👍

[@BigzampanoXXL]

hello, you have a very nice an emphatic interaction between you both. one of the best reactiors on YT. And I saw a lot.

[@carlosmanueltorr]

Never stop to feel... It only shows how human you are. Beautiful reaction!!

[@VivK-Real]

I had the same reaction to this song when I heard it for the first time. And second time. And third.... And now.

[@Jklak100]

❤️

[@kezca]

Beautiful Thankyou both xx

[@majbrat]

The man is the cartoon artist for doing the Scrooge comic books that Tuomas has loved since childhood. It is a gorgeous piece. Tuomas never disappoints and Johanna is stunning with her singing too. I think Tuomas emotes in his musical choices & lyrics, his deep love for the stories, and longing for his youth - it is palpable & you both feel it; we all feel it. Just super. What a talented couple they are. Almost as sweet as you two are. :) Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@nightmary]

I cry every time I hear this one, but I come back again and again. Today I got to share the moment with the two of you. The world is blessed to include Tuomas and his beautiful soul.

[@TeemarkConvair]

Andrei, i as you shed tears,, so lovely,, the emotions are so deep..indeed, there is "something" about Tuomas..and not in his native language..

[@Idefixu]

It took Tuomas 15 years to make this album happen, from initial idea in 1999 to completion in 2014. He produced the album and paid for it. Then he asked Nuclear Blast Records if they might want to release the album. They said yes without even listening the album first. They wanted to have a video of one of the songs. Tuomas agreed agains his initial thought. This song was an easy choise for the video, because it has a normal structure. This song is my favorite on this album, and definitely belongs to my The Best of Tuomas compilation, but Tuomas has other favorites, "The Last Sled" and another one that I can not remember. Tuomas knew this album was a mariginal project. He was right, and it is a shame. Like one of the comments says: "If only more people knew about Tuomas!" On another comment a guy, from Sweden I think, said: "Tuomas, without you I would never have started to play the piano, now I have recorded 4 albums." Don Rosa was promoting his work in Finland, Tuomas went and introduced himself to Don Rosa and told him about his idea. Don Rosa knew nothing about Tuomas or Nightwish, and he thought he would propwbly never hear from Tuomas again. A couple of years later Tuomas contacted Don Rosa and told him the recording of the album is going on in London. "Tuomas Holopainen and Don Rosa interviewed by Radio Nova", parts 1&2, only minutes altogether. They praise each other, and it is funny, because they are both so humble, they just can not take praise without blushing. Don Rosa said he was crying when he was listening to the demo version Tuomas gave him. They had a signing event together in Finland, Tampere I think, and it lasted for 7,5 hours. Beautiful song, beutiful, delicate vocals by Johanna, beautiful lyrics. In this video the lyrics are full of errors, clearly done by ear. You can find the lyrics somewhere on the official video, in description box or on one of the early comments, or you can google them.

[@DanTheSqueegeeMan]

I also noticed that the lyrics are different to what is found by googling. But since this is the official video, I would assume these are the right ones and google is wrong

[@jarikoo2693]

Real feelings.. like song as you both

[@karljensen6768]

This man is Don Rosa, the master behind Donald Duck cartoons at Disneys 🤗

[@randyboyles]

I'm crying right along with you. And I have heard this many times.

[@eTraxx]

That happens to me with some music .. I am listening and tears flow. Music can evoke intense emotion .. sadness, joy .. we are very complex creatures.

[@DeepeningTheListening]

This song also brings tears to my eyes, so I cried with you.

[@garryashton7093]

So beautiful love it

[@Klojum]

Dominika: "Are you okay?" Andrei: "Hmm mmm..." 🥲 If there is anything that the viewing audience can appreciate it is a genuine and human reaction to a piece of beautiful music. Thank you, both of you.

[@bea7719]

Thank you❤

[@SpartanGuy83]

Andrei and Dominika, thank you so much for this. My father would have loved your reaction. Yes, Andrei, it is a story for everyone. Sending best wishes for continued good health and happiness to you both!

[@barneyfontenot1462]

its amazing how tuomas can bring his emotions of his life to his music❤❤👌👌

[@gunterreihnhol6507]

Ja, such a beautiful song und sometimes self reflection can be sad thinking of past gut times.

[@jg8428]

A beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. Let the tears flow, they are pearls of the heart.

[@mariogansbeke]

Tears are the most beautiful, genuine and sincere reaction there is.

[@katigallagher5510]

If you want more Tuomas side product.Auri.. Listen "Night 13"or "The last sled " Love from Finland!!

[@MarkusUbl]

Thank you for sharing. This is precious.

[@moniquevanaken2638]

You're such a lovely couple with your hearts in the right place and that's what touches us. And in this time we are blessed with Tuomas as a music writer, as he prefers to call himself. And he is (and we are) so lucky he has two lovely women who can express his music with their voices so beautifully. And sometimes out of the blue you get very emotional by hearing good music and that is OK. It means you have a heart. How's your heart now? Bless!

[@NickBR57]

Love Johanna's voice. Wonderful album. You felt it and that is a Good Thing. Tuomas is just a master.

[@claudiadorner9804]

The last 2 days I've been bing watching your, mostly, Nightwish (Tuomas and Floor) reaction video's. Omg, you two are so precious..it's so wonderful to see you get Nightwish and Tuomas, to see you get all the emotions we all (still) get when hearing/watching these songs. And just know..I cried with you. Thank you!! 🙏🙏

[@bchase6970]

I am so touched by your being touched and by your empathy/connection with each other - as well as the music. Thank you for being so genuine and vulnerable.

[@geertdelange4785]

Wauw, what a beautiful reaction❤️ Tuomas the master of emotions hits us all 💕

[@nickgillingham5575]

thats his father they also had the lead guitarist from Aminanthe and im not sure but i believe his daughter was the backup singer with his wife (not sure on last one) to me individually this is one of tuomas most beautiful songs and my family played this song at my cousin's funeral. thank you for heart filled reaction to this beautiful song. Hiya from southern ontario canada

[@gatis8136]

..dont be ashame to cry..its not a sadness,but beauty,which moust of us longing so much..

[@jarnojuhani8942]

Wow. 😍 That's a true power to show your feelings. I'm sure the whole Nighwish army love this and you. ❤️ This song is... Omg... There's no words. Thank you both!!!

[@randymarple9830]

Nightwish helped me to access my inner emotions. This song is perfect with the two Johanna's singing. We all cry, but to cry because of beauty is an emotional release we all need. A good cleansing of the tear ducts is good for the soul.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Thanks for reacting to this, to few reactors look into Tuomas solo work. This album is based on cartoonist Don Rosa's The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, a graphic novel, that Tuomas loves and had a big impact on him. Rosa contributed the cover artwork for the album. Mikko Iivanainen is playing the guitar solo.

[@rianavermeulen4316]

Thank you! Loved your reaction. I am in tears 😢😢 every time I am listening to this song❤

[@tracyfarnath2270]

What a lovely reaction, you both have emotions very close to the surface, its strange how sometimes music brings this out, usually when you don't expect it. Keep up the good work, we are still waiting for the greatest show on earth.

[@pdutchie4924]

It’s so delicate ❤️ You will probably love Auri as well. It is a project from Tuomas, his wife Johanna and Troy, also beautiful❣️

[@mnewm21]

The artist is Don Rosa one of the cartoonists fro Disney's Scrooge McDuck comics. He created these amazing books that detail the life of Scrooge before he became the wealthy duck that he is known for. Amazing that a song about one thing can mean something entirely different to someone else. I sense that that has happened here your personal journey has coloured the music in a different way. Johanna, Tuomas' wife has a very ethereal voice and he has used it beautifully both in this project and in their Auri project.

[@alancarter41]

Tuomas is a great poet; he knows just how to touch your soul.

[@juanmendez3770]

I have been following you guys for a little while now, and all I can say is that the two of you are such beautiful and genuine souls. Greetings from Alabama

[@elvwood]

Thank you for being so open. I think you really should try Auri sometime - Tuomas, Johanna & Troy's "other band". Possibly Night 13 or Desert Flower. All the best!

[@jabgibson]

Sounds like you two will enjoy Auri. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@paddydurkin2308]

You guys had me teared up.... 😢 😭 such an emotional reaction.. . The maestro could make the hardest man cry with his musical genius.

[@wangtang7768]

Thx you two , Thuomas can’t seem to do bad musical anything, what a master and Johanna ‘s voice is so beautiful too , tears

[@jpsother1183]

Tuomas knows how to get us in the feels

[@jonno55]

Totally can feel you man. Such beautiful song and extremely well written, composed an sung.

[@SYNtemp]

Well... did anyone (still) doubt that Tumas is THE poet? The one in milions?

[@jws6181]

Tuomas is story telling, emotions, lyrics and its so strange too me that the songs are no big worldwide hits....and youre tears and emotions proof that, youre brave and precious to let your tears go...thx greets # be safe🥲

[@Jklak100]

❤️ I also has and will tear out, every time. It is so pure and beautiful song. Masterpiece of another level…..

[@johnlindquist1784]

Watching this, I just wanted to hug you both. Such a beautiful reaction. Thank you.

[@danettecrossley7912]

Sometimes a piece of music is so beautiful it touches something in side you and this is a beautiful piece of music and it's about a duck God bless

[@Thorgrim247]

You nailed it Dominika! Holo-pinen. This man is Don Rosa the illustrator of the Scrooge McDuck Disney comic books. Tuomas loves his work when he was a child and still does to this day. This whole record was a tribute to the amazing illustrations of Don Rosa. This is actually a happy song, but still has a melancholy undertone. This is because it is about the story of Scrooge combined with Tuomas yearning for his childhood memories. So touching to see how your facial emotions showed such loving concern for how Andrei was reacting to this beautiful composition from the Master. Johanna has such a beautiful and delicate voice. It works perfectly for these type of songs from Tuomas. She also sing on the Auri records which are written by Tuomas and Troy. For a beautiful, emotional, and very poetic song, check out Night 13 from Auri. I would love to see if you understand the concept of the video. Turn on the CC for the subtitles. See link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIq5nqCNg9ieoNU - AURI - Night 13 (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@karljensen6768]

Those two women are as beautiful as their voices, such a beautiful piece and touching ❤️

[@orangeguppie6897]

This song, the music and the beautiful soft voices hits you so hard in the feels, so i think i can say we all been there, completely understandable! Tuomas is a genius, a true poet and composer, thanks for a beautiful and emotional reaction! See you, bye

[@TeemarkConvair]

we are enriched to be living in the time of Tuomas Holopainen

[@sindhatal7038]

Wonderful reaction ! It's your heart who speaks ! If you love this you much watch the other group of Tuomas : "Auri" composed by Tuomas, her wife and Troy from Nightwish too !

[@4ndy17]

Thank you for sharing. I cry every time I listen to this song. Same as you, from the very first listen. Unsure as of why. I mean it is gorgeous, but I can't pick up an specific reason. Not sure what triggers the chills and the tears. It moves you at a Soul level. Just gets to touch something deep in your core. Tons of love for the both of you. 💚 Andy.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Tuomas has a way to bring out emotion and that is such a gift. Please react to his band Auri and the song "Night 13"

[@paulr1193]

That song is amazing. Also love Pearl Diving. Those two are my favourites from each Auri album.

[@ttoni_s]

Greetings from Finland :) Nice reaction and this magical song is a good choice! And your feelings with all songs that Tuomas has created is a feeling what most of us has experienced ❤️ So many mixed emotions. Really like your reaction videos and go on! U got true feelings with your videos. Happy new year 🎆

[@Zaizz100]

Damn you even made me cry!

[@stamasd8500]

Well you made it. You discovered Johanna Kurkela and her marvelous voice. She is a very accomplished vocalist in her own. Many solo albums, collaborations such as Altamullan Road, the band Auri (2 albums, with Tuomas and Troy, highly recommend both) and most recently one album with Eye of Melian which is a masterpiece. Without even knowing it you opened another rabbit hole. :)

[@simone9313]

ooooh you are both sooo sweet - following your journey for a while and have to say it´s beautiful how you bring things together. Never be ashamed of your tears - that´s happening to all of us again and again with Nightwish and Tuomas on solo- he is just something else, right?. Especially this song catches me every time. Thanks for your emotional reaction, stay save and keep on following your journey ❤❤‍🔥😍

[@loriec2452]

Both of you bring so much love and humanity to all of us. Thank you. I truly love each of you. Tuomas is a gift. Such a miracle to all be alive together, now. Love from Missouri, US. 🎭

[@thisworldofwater8017]

Hey you, tears are the only humane reaction to this song. Just unbearably beautiful. And yes, you'll get to hear more of her voice with Auri ( Tuomas, Troy and Johanna).

[@German_1]

Brother, I'm there with you.. tuomas got to me too.

[@fearmac]

This got to me the first time I heard it and I cried with you now. It may seem sad but, "To be rich is to seek, to relive a memory." It's not money that enriches us but "All the strangers on your path..." That's how see it anyway 🙂 Loved your reaction.

[@SteveOpstad]

It is an honor to experience these emotions with you beautiful people. To know there are people that feel these things as deeply as I.. it lets me know I'm not alone in this journey of life. Thank you for sharing you tears along with all of ours, they bond us as one. 💕

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Wow, I loved your reaction to this. You can't beat genuine reactions to this beautiful piece of music and yours was genuine and emotional, 100%. I must admit I had tears in my eyes too although I've seen this dozens of times. Well done, keep them coming.

[@mikkosak]

If music touches your soul, it bring emotions. That's the most important thing for me when listening to music. In this song and many of finnish music is this melancholic aspect.. Thank you again!

[@foolofatook2699]

Toumas is the master of emotions! The music alone is enough to make a person emotional, and when the beautiful lyrics are added it awakens something inside us. I too feel sad when listening, but somehow encouraged at the same time. The freedom of an open road can be quite intimidating when we don't have our future all planned out, but we can also embrace that freedom and trust in ourselves. I think we all need to make sure that we do things that will make memories, so that as we near the end, we will be rich to relive them. I'm sure I speak for so many people that we appreciate the emotions that both of you share when listening to music! That alone puts you above a lot of the other reactors for me. Keep up the amazing work!

[@johannessilver8653]

The man is not his father...he is Don Rosa the famous illustrator of Disney Ducks and stories...who was invited by Tuomas to make this work and drawing for this video. Tuomas organized this all and he is a big fan of Don...and values him so high. Tuomas is a fan of Disney Ducks in general and he wanted to put the story of Scrooge Mac Duck into an album. The other girl is also Johanna like her wife and the guitarist is a husband to the other Johanna.

[@R---66---R]
