The feeling is incomparable, it is the finest sound that keyboards can make. I am dumbfounded and this isn't the last of it."

Sometimes you can just see the wheels in his head spinning. Oh to be inside his brain for even just a moment. On the flip side though it must be difficult to create along side him in the studio.

I think Queen has have an important influence on Tuomas. Like Queen, Tuomas, and Nightwish, approach every detail in a very professional manner. There are quite a number of similarities between the two bands. Tuomas/Freddy as writers. Floor/Freddy who seem modest off stahe but thrive on stage. No cocky attitudes, but polite. And every detail of the show is rehersed.

I have said exactly the same on another Nightwish video! Queen and Nightwish are my top two all time favourite bands. I would have given my soul to hear Freddie and Floor sing together live❤️

But since there have been lockdowns due to Covid, i enjoy watching other people react to NW and discovering your music. Human:II:Nature has been and is the perfect album for this Day and age. These difficult times the world is going through. But not only the Human but more important the Nature itself, the Earth. I hope we humans will take good care of it.
