THIS TRULY WAS! Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Nightwish "The Greatest Show On Earth" 

Floor's parents were in the audience for this concert. Can you imagine how proud they must have felt? Floor said in an interview briefly before the concert that she would have to avoid looking at where here parents were sitting or she'd break down in tears on stage.

And THAT, ladies and gents, is how you end a concert. That's probably the most epic finale I've ever seen.

NightWish Army Wisconsin Chapter here. Glad you loved this AMAZING song! Only Tuomas can write such a masterpiece about the creation of the universe and 4.5 billion years of Evolution, from animals to people to music. This version is my Favorite because in the audience is Floor’s Mother and Father, to cheer her on. They are SO PROUD of Floor! ❤❤❤

As someone who attended this concert I can confirm I lost my voice entirely while screaming WE WERE HEREEEEEEEEE

A song about everything. Past, present, future, astronomy, cosmology, physics, birth of life, evolution, human psychology, chaos theory, the short evolution of human civilization. Preserving nature, philosophy. All that with lots of emotions and heart.

As always... (and thank you for re-introducing the word 'dude' into this world) Floor: "Enter Luca" Marko: "Enter Ionia" Emppu: "Enter Sandman" 🙂

There is a reason this song is called "the greatest show on earth". I still want to hear the first written version of this. Tuomas once said, that it was about 90 min long and the process of cutting it down to what it is now was very difficult for him. I don't know why, but at the end of this song, when they come back on stage and greet their fans I almost every time have tears in my eyes. This band is something special. Don't be sorry about your emotions ever dude!

This is why I love Nightwish. They make music that has an impact. Every song has a purpose, be it storytelling, entertainment, expression of deepest fears and pain or recollection of existence. I can't remember them ever making an 'empty' song catering what sells to the masses. And the way they can bring out the best from each of their members is just incredible. And the Nightwish Army is a force in it self.

Every Nightwish fan has that one song that just rips them in the feels... this one is that for me. Those Dawkins and Charles Darwin quotes really slap you into sharp perspective...and provoke you into remembering just how lucky we are, despite life's hardships, that we are here! And we are here together ❤️

No shame in the tears, dude! All of us in the Nightwish Army are right there with you…I found Nightwish 5 years ago at a very dark time for me and this music, the lyrics and the loving fans saved me! Love watching your reactions!

We have won the lottery of life , live, love & be happy

The title of the issue is taken from a 2009 book by evolutionary biologist and atheist writer Richard Dawkins, about the evidence for biological evolution. Dawkins also contributes to the album. Holopainen explained to HMV in March 2015: "I wrote him a letter a little over a year ago and explained what ideas we had for this album, mainly about evolution. Since one of the songs goes straight to one of his books, it felt like a perfect match to try and recite him on the album. A few weeks later, he sent me an email accepting the invitation." "Later in 2014, we recorded his parts at Hats Off Studios, Oxford. This is a huge honour for us, as Dawkins is one of our greatest heroes and his writings have been a huge inspiration for the album."

Yes, thats Enter Sandman :) While Dead Boy's Poem will always be my first love, this song is truly a thought provoking masterpiece. This version also holds a very special place in my heart because I Was There and Tampere is where I live, you can actually see my house at the time in the aerial shots. Those fireworks were loud enough that my wife told me afterwards that the windows were shaking.

Sweet friend, what a gift to watch this song with you this morning. And what a gift you are to this world. It took me almost 60 years to understand I do matter and my life wasn't wasted. So you are way ahead of me. I do believe kindness can change the world. It is a force that can't be contained, it crosses borders, religions and believes. It gives people hope. Your channel is spreading that message every day. Through you. Almost 6K people come and listen to you. You give them hope, kindness and love. If you where here right now I would give you the biggest hug. Have a great day and thank you.

We see you Cosmic. I told you that it would change the way that you view everything, Tuomas is a great teacher. Just to add some perspective, there are over 70 trillion possible combinations of human DNA, and you are more likely to win the lottery jackpot 240,000 times in a row than you are to be born. We are all very special indeed.

As you know, there are 2 live videos of this song. Most people say this is the better version of the 2, but you should check out the Wembley version as well. For Troy, being from the UK, it was a homecoming, and I think the band let him off the leash. He was more involved during the intro. Wembley also had a surprise ending that really should be checked out. Great reaction. WE WERE HERE!

I feel you. The first time I listened to this song was at a time of struggle, stuck in an office job in a foreign country, slowly isolating myself and getting depressed just because I did not know where I was and where I go. I felt I lived a life not suited to me. So I sold my flat, bought a boat, quit my job and started all over again. And exactly at this time I discovered that song. It gave me so much power, so much joy, so many tears realizing that I am literally part of nthe greatest show on earth, even in my ordinariness. When I look at the sunset now, when I see a beautiful plant, I see much more. There truly is so much beauty in this randomness. I am NOT AFRAID to live! I am NOT AFRAID to change, to do something new, to walk a different path, even to start building a new path in life few have wandered before. After all, it's my show, it's our show, It's the greatest show on earth!

A band of good people. A band that speaks what is in their mind, their hearts. A band that respects its fans and trusts us to look deep within ourselves. This song is the prime proof of that. The music is beautiful, both the instrumental and the vocal. Everyone worked their hardest (like they always do) to produce an experience for us. And, I think, an experience for them. Can you imagine how they all must feel when the perform this utter masterpiece? We are so privileged to have them, to know that they are in this world, in this time. No matter how many times I listen to this, I always come away with something new. And, perhaps that is the true definition of a masterpiece. It is never done teaching us.

If you can watch after a 2 hour performance and still listen to a 20 minute performance that was executed to perfection, that's what they call the cherry on the cake (expression we use in Belgium).What Floor conjures up her sleeve here is exceptional, phenomenal🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻

Floors parents being at this show….How proud they must be to see the positive and joyous effect their daughter and this band has on thousands of people must be almost overwhelming for them. Sensory overload… Nightwish style. The band that can call it “The Greatest Show on Earth” and deliver on all points…incredible

This is a compositional masterpiece. There is no band today that effects people in the way that Nightwish does. Tuomas is the maestro without equal. Thank you for you emotional reaction ❤

Tampere, Tampere, the Cradle of the Evolution. 😎👍

Hello again, Wolff. Our beautiful Nightwish inspires the world. Thank you,Tuomas. Thank you Floor. Thank you Empuu and Marko and Troy and Kai. Such joy from such a magnificent group. This is an experience that goes beyond Music. Thank you for this reaction. Loved it.

Every time I listen this it amaze me how someone can write something like this... How can you not think Tuomas is genius when you hear this? 😄 This band is just something else ❤ They change my live ❤ Edit. Wise words from you! Thank you! We love your pure reaction and tears! ❤ Take care!

Sweet, the Tampere version.. thank god. Keep it up mate. Nightwish never ceases to surprise, nor do they ever disappoint. Stay safe, stay awesome

Their music just gives me goosebumps and lifts my spirits so much, music is such a powerful thing

Great job Cosmic. As Floor says, we are "broken, but beautiful"

I had the absolute good fortune and pleasure to see Nightwish perform this live. It blew the doors off any expectations I had. I have been to over 200 major concerts and this is easily one of the biggest highlights of that journey!

I appreciate your emotional reaction man, it shows you get it. 🤘

No matter what you lived, you were here

💥❤️💥❤️💥❤️💥❤️💥❤️💥

I don't think that any other band who would have the slightest chance of pulling this off - but Nightwish smash it out of the ballpark. Your thoughts after this masterpiece are something that I think Tuomas would feel very happy to feel he had made you share these feelings - fantastic stuff dude, I wish there were more people in this world who have your depth 🤘

Every time I listen to this song makes feel grateful of being here

I couldn't wait to see your reaction to this one, and you didn't disappoint. My first reaction was very similar. One of my favorites!!

In 2015 in a dutch TV show Floor reunited with her old classmates from highschool. There were also interviews with her parents. Then they all went to this gig in Finland. It was the first time for her parents to be in the (Nightwish) audience. Maybe that made her do her very best. That Dutch program is also on RU-vid with English subtitles.

Every time they get to "We Were Here" I burst into tears. EVERY TIME.

Every thing about this is just incredible. It's really something you have to experience. No words do it justice

Great reaction my friend! A 20 minute journey through the evolution of Earth and it's life. The final quote from Richard Dawkins is so inspirational. You nailed how uplifting this song is. That just by existing we are special and meaningful. When I saw them live last May in Boston the end of the setlist was so inspirational and uplifting. Ghost Love Score, Last Ride of the Day, The Greatest Show on Earth, and Ad Astra for the outro. I have never left a show so inspired to go out and live my life to the fullest and to treasure my time here. Note that Ad Astra (8th movement from 30 minute orchestral piece All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World) contains a spoken word section from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot that is as impactful as Richard Dawkins words are in The Understanding section of this song (outro). Nice catch on the Enter the Sandman riff (Tuomas is a big fan and during an exchange year in high school his host American family took him to a Metallica concert where he fell in love with heavy metal, huge thanks to that family). It was at teh end of a section of the song dedicated to the evolution of music. The section includes short excerpts from Dies Irae, Minuet in G major by Christian Petzold, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 by Johann Sebastian Bach and a Tibetan chant sung by male parts of the choir with the enter the Sandman riff. I'll leave it to others to explain all the evolutionary references in the lyrics but know that this song takes it's title from one of Richard Dawkins books whose writings inspired this song and the title of the album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful comes from Charles Darwin's On origin of Species quote that you heard read by Dawkins right at the end of the song. Evolution and life truly are The Greatest Show on Earth.

This song just never cease to blow my mind. How it starts slow and softly with just the keys, then Troy joins in and makes me feel like i'm sitting outside a celtic village watching when the fairies starts to dance in the evening mist , and then BOOM!, the whole band goes full throttle and the epic ride through the history of the earth is in full motion..., until the ride is over and it gets all peaceful again. Only Tuomas and NW can make a song, or rather an experience, named The greatest show on earth that totally lives up to the name.

I think, that's the main aim of music and musicianship/art, if I may say so, - to provoke the emphathy, feel the emotions, to look deep into yourself and discover the true feelings, to acknowledge your being. You're a very kind person, glad to see you and your thoughts.

This is a good piece to remember when a classically trained snob hints at music was done with Mozart etc. We are living at the same time as timeless art is being made.

Nightwish Army North Carolina Chapter reporting for duty. I am a thrash metal die-hard but Nightwish is just musical genius. Plus they are humble and just love people and want to spread joy and love.

They make you think, but IMO they always hit you in the feels. To me they pulled me (kicking and screaming I admit) out of second lockdown depression back into the world 🌎. This song is just the cherry on top. Peace ✌ out.

i love when she dresses up like a warrior Valkyrie princess and as animated as her stage presence is as commanding as ever and epic music pieces that they make and weave and flow she is a good entertainer what she does with her voice is stellar i don't there are alot of rock and metal singers that have that kind of power i their voice

⭐🎇 WE WERE HERE 🎇 ⭐ "The Greatest Show on Earth" What a song, beautiful lyrics the message ⭐ Thank You Richard Dawkins... Thank You Nightwish 🤘 Thank You 💙 for you emotional words you said 😢 Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

"We are going to die and that makes us the lucky once....." Since my little 4 year young son passed away 6 month ago, i'm fucking crying every time i hear this Song. Yes. We all were sooooo lucky, that my son was here. "We were Here" He was here. I am thankful that He was here. But fuck. I miss him so so so much.😞

I feel you, I am in tears after listening to this piece, almost every time. Reflecting on the grandeur of nature, mortality, and the beauty of humanity and the incredible miracle of our consciousness just makes me weep. This is one of those things that led me away from the darkness...because how dare I snuff out my own life, when this is so precious? Just the ability to appreciate nature, poetry, art, music, thinking about our vast collective history and creativity, makes me want to be a part of it.

I understand why most people suggest the Tampere-Version. And yes, the synced fireworks and the use of the flute by Troy suits me also better, don't know why he used an E-Guitar with the e-bow in Wembley. (Which still sounds great). But also they fire all the fireworks at the end of Tampere, for me the Wembley-Version has a more emotional ending, so I recommend to do both versions. To this reaction: really enjoyed it, because of how you reacted to the music parts and changes within the song. Keep up the good work 💖

It is great art in every imaginable way from the music to the lyrics to the stage show. What Tuomas writes is so deep.

P.S. I saw them live 16.6.2023 at Kitee Rantakenttä, Finland. Floor was very heavily pregnant, but still they delivered a full two-hour show. They played also this song, with fireworks and all.

i cry everytime it comes to the "We Were Here!" it draws you into the human collective immediately and makes me feel like part of something bigger than myself. And, i get that feeling every single time i listen to this or watch it. And trust me, i have watched it over and over as i love watching reactions of Nightwish. No shame in Crying.. you are human! And one of us!

The peak performance of a band at the top of their game.

Too true Cosmic...kindness costs nothing..We humans take our sacred existence for granted...We must find the bueaty in ourselves..We are perfectly imperfect. Thankyou Cosmic.. Emotions are there to be expressed and the ending of this magnificent performance...'We were here!' gets me everytime.. Take care Cosmic..🤗

If you need suggestions... I've pitched this one to several reactors but with no luck, ever. One of my favorite songs, a musical journey. A bit longer one (~9:35] but definitely worth your time. Another fantastic Finnish band Von Hertzen Brothers - Kiss a Wish.

Thanks for your reaction. Funfact, Floor's Parents were in the audience.

Nightwish with Floor opened up my eyes too. I've been a big music fans since a teenager in the early 1980's; and when I discovered Nightwish during the pandemic, it was an amazing journey. They are one of only 4-5 bands that I can play daily, and not get sick of. While I now own every album the band has done, the ones with Floor on vocals get 99% of the playback. And the line up versions with Marco and Floor is the best for me. The new bassist is doing a kick ass job; but it is so very hard to replace a singer like Marco, plus the fact that he and Floor harmonize so well together.

Tuomas is a genius! each track of Nightwish is a real sensory experience to live and feel... just like Kamelot, Nightwish is a permanent perfection of every detail. just huge!

I have a similar back story Mr Wolff. At heart I'm a die hard, near elitist, punk\industrial\power electronics guy. Nightwish worked their magic on me some years back and have been instrumental in opening my eyes to other music. Love watching you experience this amazing band, your reactions mirror mine from my first time. Keep em coming, mate. Subbed.

My favorite song since the 70s has been Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" until this song came in 2015 on Nightwish's 8th album. Since then it has been the absolute number one for me. Similarly, this Tampere 2015 performance is the most preferred, although Wembley 2015 is also really good. And of course I've seen it performed by Nightwish in 2022, their last tour. They perform a few versions of it of different lengths, depending on whether the song is the closing song or in the middle of the concert. Now on the 2021-23 tour it wasn't the closing song, so a short version of it. Do you notice at the end, before the band members leave the stage, both Marko and Floor point towards Tuomas as if to say to the audience "there's the man who made this song for you". He is a well-respected musician, also within his own band. I remember when there was an interview after the last album was announced and three NW musicians were there. The two were sitting on the couch and Tuomas was in the armchair. The interviewer asked about the meaning of a new song and at first it seemed that Tuomas did not answer, but then he started to explain the song. When those two other NW members realized that Tuomas was really going to explain the song in more depth, they first straightened their backs and then leaned forward, their eyes straight towards Tuomas. Probably still not breathing and if the ears could be turned forward, this would probably have happened to them. 😂 That tells you what kind of position Tuomas has even within the band. Another reaction video creator once said that if the music world was the Marvel Universe, then NW musicians would be its superheroes. I think that was a beautifully expressed thought.

You my friend are a part of The Greatest Show on Earth. Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day’ll cease to be Greet the last light of the library We were here!

Thanks above all for sharing your emotions and thoughts. Time is never wasted, as far as I can see (and I'm more aged than you ^^) : it teaches us something everytimes. What we've been through is part of our personnal path, and it's finally very confortable to learn ourselves and what we're able to, and what we can hang on with. It's a long long journey, it's emotionnal and often suffering, but thant's never a waste, I promise !! Haut les coeurs !

Hi Cosmic!... thank you for your words, your sincerity and I think we have all cried listening this masterpiece by Nightwish...6 guys that after know them it is impossible to forget them...greetings from your friend Oscar from Colombia!...

They are literal life savers both physically and emotionally. I love being inspired and uplifted, especially through music. Great reaction...of course 😊

This band and specially this song is so emotional for me

It was a stunning performance of an incredible piece of art created by an unearthly talent. You're going to have to hope that they go back on the road in 2025.

First of all, big virtual hug to you ❤ I was waiting for this reaction from the first NW reaction from you I saw, I knew you would absolutely be blown away by it and your reaction didn't disappoint at all😁🤘 It is absolutely crazy what Nightwish does with us, not only great music, great voice, but the lyrics are so smart and deep and like nothing i've ever heard before. it feels like nightwish has some kind of master key to our most inner feelings, thoughts and emotions.. I would give everything I have to have a look inside Tuomas' brain for just 5 min, man it must be crazy in there. The amount of times nightwish made me cry is probably higher than there are stars in the universe by now and i honestly feel like i've changed/grown since i discvered this beautiful band bc of them.. Sidenote: damn Floor looks like a true godess in that video and she is absolutely aware and feeling that, that charisma!

You are now prepared for X Japan's "Art Of Life", live. It's a single symphonic metal song composed around the second and third movements of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony No. 8. The drummer, who also composed it, pulls double duty on the piano and drums. The studio version clocks in at 29 minutes, and the live a little over 30.

This band did something to you. I think you're going to have a lot of reactions on that sentence. They came in my life Oktober 2019 thought Floor Jansen being in De Beste Zangers. I tought I didn't like metal, but I loved her voice and Vilja lied sang by her to Henk Poort gave me goosebumps. While working I tried Nightwish wiht GLS and I was sold. Since then I listen to Nightwish every day and to reaction channels seeing people falling in love with Nightwish. I think dude is your favourite word 😅 Great reaction 👍🏼🇵🇾🧡

It was and is a statement. More than music. Then came the Human Nature album and I cannot wait for the final chapter next year!

I came to read Sir Richard Dawlins through this song, beyond the beauty and the wilderness of the music and lyrics : the depth and the construction are amazing. And I keep on thinking that Troy brings a lot to the band, above all in this one. In the Wembley live version, Sir Richard Dawlins come to speak at the end. I think you're ready for the Poet and the Pendulum, another masterpiece. ^^ Thanks a lot : I travel some days and won't be connected, watching t his one just befoce cutting fron the Internet is a great gift ;-)

That's exactly what this song is supposed to do to you. Ultimately I think Tuomas wants to spark that fire inside you, and if nothing else, to take a look at the world and just give a damn.

I've seen them perform this twice live, here in the US. It never gets old!

Dude ! I am 70 years of age and have listened to music for most of my life but this band has woken me up to real lyrics and fantastic music my friends say I'm too old to listen to this,to them I say just take the time to get into Nightwish,thank you for your heartfelt reaction 😢

Last Universal Common Ancestor Enter LUCA♥️ This is our history, the born of humanity

Im super grateful that this great band "has done something to me" for 25 years ❤

I always shed a tear whenever I see this performance and listen to this track on my playlist. Humans have been just a small part of the time this earth has existed, and yet we feel so special. In every day life we forget that we are actually here instead of the countless others that never came into this world, and yet we complain and fear going back to the state that the majority will ever be, meaning not alive. It is a very powerful, emotional and thought provoking song, as it should be.

great track! Nice one man!

In my humble opinion, this is probably one of the greatest songs ever written in any genre. Such depth of story-telling, complexity of composition, and grandeur of performance. There is so much going on in this video that you need to watch it numerous times to pick up all of the subtleties. For example, the section of part III that slows down (starting around 17:11 in your reaction vid) outlines a history of music going from Gregorian chants to Bach to a riff from Metallica, while the visuals go from a snake (which tempted Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge), to an age of innocence (child on a swing) to a nuclear blast all in less than a minute. Kai’s drums have images of DNA on them, and the ‘rock’ that Troy is sitting on has fossils in it. You have lyrics from Richard Dawkin’s book (also called Greatest Show on Earth) and from Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species. Simply epic on every possible level. Looking forward to your next reaction. Keep up the great work. Greetings from the NW Army (Sydney, Australia Division 🇦🇺🤘)

Love you reactions for Nightwish. so much passion so much emotions so much feelings for this group by you.

Master Piece❤

First Nightwish song I ever heard 4 years ago! This is and has always been in the top ranks of my Nightwish favorites. But hey, it's Nightwish, so there are many songs in those top ranks. 🤘

Thankful to be here, enjoying every moment of of the life WE WERE HERE my friend WE ARE HERE

Please don’t apologize for your tears. Nightwish = Emotion. You matter! We all matter ❤🙏🏻 I discovered them about 4 years ago and it’s changed my life for the better. Keep on going with your reactions. You’re real & genuine and I appreciate that.

This entire show is a masterpiece of perfection!! You must see it all!

This song is a ******* masterpiece 🤘...."We were here...."

Greatest finale to a live show in history, in my opinion.

We were here .

Can't you just feel the love coming from the band toward their fans?

Hey Cosmic. Nightwish Army New Jersey here. This song really IS an inspirational message to those who have little idea of whether or not they're worthy to be alive. It is indeed a deep message that will be heard for many more decades to come. 13 days ago was the 10th anniversary of the most magical performance in Nightwish history, Wacken Open Air 2013. And 2 months ago was the official 10th anniversary of Floor and Troy's permanent status with the band. Last October 1st was the 10th anniversary of the day Floor walked onto the stage with Nightwish for the very first time. ANY of those should be enough reason to throw a party this weekend, so why not? I'm celebrating with Wacken 2013, Wembley, and Tampere on Saturday. Wanna do a Wembley Watch Party? Just an idea. But back to this.... I still can't believe all this comes out of the mind of literally ONE person. It's just absolutely amazing!! Aside from the song, YOUR message was awesome!!! Thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm sure they will be taken as light by those who are in dark places. I want to thank you for those who can't and I'm sure we are ALL grateful to have a brother like you. ❤️ Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤️🤘🤘

Well, that was probably 21 minutes that disappeared - but still put a pretty hard mark in your brain!! This song is inspired by the book 'The Greatest Show on Earth' by Richard Dawkins. A scientist Troy introduced to Tuomas and he gave him some books to read. ( both Troy, Floor and Tuomas wanted to Biologist (Tuomas marine biologist ) as grown-ups, in their childhood) They wrote a handwritten letter to Richard Dawkins, asking if he would be a part of the Wembley concert, as well as the speaker in the background - and it's Richard Dawkins you hear!! Therefore you must see / experience the Wembley version as well and - indoor concert with Richard Dawkins on stage. It's different from this one, so it will still blow your mind! And you heard 'Enter Sandman' - yep - Tuomas incorporated the evolution of music also in this masterpiece - try to follow Floor in how many styles she uses - without you are noticing it as odd. This song is everything from the 4,6 minutes beginning (Earth is 4,6 billions years old), to 'Enter Ratkind' where the rat are the most intelligent animal, able to survive a nuclear Earth - but it survives us!! Originally the song were 30 minutes long, but they shortend it down to this, during the rehearsal in the studio, before they made the Album 'Endless forms most beautiful' - the first with Floor and starting to take advantage of her incredible voice and breath techniques. Who else could do a song like this in this way? Tuomas really knows his bandmembers!! Great reaction from you - and now you understand why the Nightwish Army exist !! And totally okay (and common) that Nightwish got you 👍 Talk to the reactor Just Jen about her Journey - with Nightwish and Floor 👍

Hey bro!!! Loved your reaction!!!! What less can you expect when all the members of the band are the best in what they do? Thanks. Greettings from Argentina. Sorry for my English. Don't be sorry.

UK Army popping in to say WE WERE HERE

Fellow edge-jumper here who made it through. Theres no going back after that. DONT BE SORRY, CRYING IS NOT A WEAKNESS. Great reaction, stay strong! Thank you.

I've watched this performance dozens of times and this time I noticed a little detail that speaks volumes about how connected the band and the audience were. At one point Floor encourages the audience to clap, then there's a drop, Floor sweeps her arms out in a cut motion and the clapping stops dead. Over 22,000 people in attendance acting as one.

I saw that Ringly brothers circus is on tour again, and their tag line is “ the greatest show in earth”, to which I say NAY… THIS is.

Yes My Friend, Nightwish, are Truly inspirational, there is not, or will there ever be another band like them for sure, they are indeed a one off. But as you said they are just 6 people with a Dream, maybe we should all be more like them. This is why I have followed this Band, since 1997, and been been to 25 live shows all over Europe. And You did a Dam fine Fine Review of this performance. Thank You Cosmic so much.

I feel you... These songs that Tuomas makes, has so deep meaning here in Finland too. This reflects the Finnish soul so deeply, and have so powerful effect.

I am sad that Marko Hietala needed to leave but undeniably even he was there for that brilliance!

This is a song to hear so many times to understand all of it! By the way, if you like, first of all, music and experience, please do also watch/hear/react original Nightwish songs with Tarja (live) and Anette (studio). So you will know better the evolution of the band and different approaches to these songs. Thank you very much!

❤Thanks for doing what this song is intended for! Love you all! Welcome to Nightwish Ministry! So cool that not religion is needed! Love and light❤
