Checking Out Nightwish Perfume of the Timeless | Composer Reaction 

I dont care what people said,i love this composition, its gonna be beutiful album

I think the orchestra represents the stream of time in this song. It's bigger than the band members.

Never have I seen so many people commenting on how this track is plagued by "production errors" of one kind or another. Fantasy musical composers claiming that Tuomas & company got it wrong. If you don't like this track, then you don't like it. That's OK. But to claim that a professional production team that includes Tuomas released a track that is somehow flawed and not what they intended to create? Yeah, I'm going with Tuomas. I love the sound of this track.

James Shearman the condutor, who also arranged the orchestra and the choirs, he just made a post in Facebook where he explains what exactly is happening in each part of the song. I think it was a very interesting read. :)

Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often. Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️ Love Troy’s contribution at the end. Loved your reaction as always 🙏🏻

I have to agree on the production. I would love to hear this performed live! While all of their songs sound amazing in the studio, they always seem to kick them up a few notches when they do them live.

I didn’t care for this at first but it has grown on me❤

I love this song but I have heard of people complaining that Floor's voice wasn't out front enough.

All of us are the product of an unbroken chain of existence that stretches back farther than we can know.

7:47 Actually that tiny fish in a water drop is real, you can find it from the internet. In the video though they had to remake it digitally because they could not find the original one (many copies around) and ask for the permit or what ever it is called you have to have. The free diver parts are mainly from the video "One Breath Around the World" amazing video worth watching too.

Greetings from Finland 🤩

3:38 to 4:10 and repeated is all that I could wish for of a new Nightwish release and the other 8 minutes are superb also. I have listened to the song countless times but not watched the video all the way through yet. Thank you Sir for reacting to the latest offering from this phenomenal band 🙏👍😊❤️

Masterpiece 🤘

Can't argue with anything you pointed out. That being said, I think this track is well set up for epic live performance...whenever that may happen. Cheers

Nightwish fan here, Floor is my musical love🤘 and I Love your t-shirt men.. Cheese and Chong.. my old-time heroes..saw all their films... I always went to a boot in the Amsterdam canals where Cheese and Chong were painted on the side of the boot and bought something to 😏smoke✌Greetings from Amsterdam

I love this track, been listening to it since release and not failed to continue hearing new things in it, I saw a reviewer complaining about the mix, but I think he missed the point of the chaos of the song as it deals with life in all its forms, big love bro

Tuomas works normaly with the Londen philharmonic orkerst for the classical and symphonic parts....

I like this one. I felt a little 7/8 time maybe just before 7 min on your vid. Thanks Geebz.😊

Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song" I listened to this song many many times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it, and Floor being part of the ancestor choir.. cant wait for rest of album!! Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is around in a timeless world, being around you still, and yourvthe perfume, also a message that your existens matters!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape.. The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about." Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ] Track listing Yesterwynde: release date 20th September 2024 All tracks are written by Tuomas Holopainen. Yesterwynde track listingNo. Title Length 1. "Yesterwynde" 2:43 2. "An Ocean of Strange Islands" 9:26 3. "The Antikythera Mechanism" 5:55 4. "The Day of..." 4:34 5. "Perfume of the Timeless" 8:11 6.

with the release of the album (20th sept) there will be an orchestral version of it . (at least in the deluxe edition)

👍I totally agree with you,some would say "over produced"but,that's a bit to harsh for me. They also had a new orchestral "director"(Pip Williams is retired) so maby that is a little change but, i think Tuomas wanted to have some more orchestral vibes in this song,we have to wait for the album to see if that's mainly for this song ,or that the rest of the album is a bit more "less produced".😆😉🤘 Still,it's a great song and fantastic video.🤘(live this gonna hit the fan😁)

You should check out eye of the enemy, the march or the shift.

Remember that Song Colors? Composed by my Nephew Eric Burton and performed by his band BLACK PUMAS! Please will you give your review of his Grammy nominated work? Thank you GeeBz!

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done

Hybrid Times- Riverside, please check this out :)

I like the beginning of the piece. It reminds me of Incantations by Mike Oldfield. Afterwards it gets more typical Nightwish.The vocals of the choir are good and how the choir interacts with Floor. What I do not like too much is the chorus of the song. I like the verse of the song better than the chorus. It annoys me a bit. The harp and piano part in the end is beautiful. All in all, an interesting piece of music.

It really won't be until they prepare the song for live performance that we'll get the best version.

Woo!😊

I don't understand the complaining of not hearing Floor in the chorus, either the ones who complain doesn't have the right equipment or there's something wrong with their ears.

afaik all the classical instruments are real.

Yes, the strings here are great. Just a personal opinion, but I think Tuomas is moving in the direction of writing purely for orchestra (and chorus). On the assumption that the band members are aging, Floor has a great solo career established, and the others may each call it "enough" at some point. Not everyone wants to be the Stones. I hope not, but...we'll see.

When you are doing music vid reaction, watch it.

Hi Gibi. Of all the bands you reacted to, you still haven't reacted to Ayreon? My o my. You really should! Ayreon is the creation of the Dutchman Arjen Lucassen; composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer and especially a guy with a giant 'black book' filled with private phone numbers. He can rely on some of the world's best and famous singers to perform his music. To drop a few names: Bruce Dickinson, Chris Maitland, Clive Nolan, Damian Wilson, Daniel Gildenlow, Dave Brock, Devin Townsend, Devon Graves, Floor Jansen, James LaBrie, Russell Allen, John de Lancie (as narrator), etc., etc.. His music is story driven and multiple albums continue the same story. I suggest you start at "The Day That The World Breaks Down": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oFuMKdrzPqU.html&pp=ygUkYXlyZW9uIHRoZSBkYXkgdGhlIHdvcmxkIGJyZWFrcyBkb3du

"Yansen".

I think you make a fair point. I love the song but the band members are not really front and centre so much in this one. Also, as an Aussie, I must complement you on your excellent taste in spreads.

🫶🤘

would love to see you react to annette olzons new solo album

🤩👍💥💯 🎼 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Have you listened to The greatest show on earth the album version. You'll find a lot.

I want that tshirt

dude you put head away and missed dear hunted by bird jesus

I love the song, but don't like the mix/production. It's as if that wall of sound drowns everything.

"Perfume of the Timeline"? Can read notes, but not letters? 🤣🤣🤣

I think the mix came out pretty flat...needed a bit more power for the epic parts. That said, it's all right. The video needed a body horror trigger warning, though. Creeped me the f out.

Floor “Djänsen” is the best asset Tuomas ever had, and all he’s been doing in the studio albums for the past 9 years is stomping her down into the noise floor. If I can’t hear her, I don’t care about the rest.
