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."
Who would ever think a band would write and perform a song that tells the story of the formation of the Universe from the Big Bang all the way to Enter Sandman. After my first view of this master piece, I found the lyrics, wrote down terms I had forgotten or never knew the meaning to several of them. Then I looked all of them up in Wikipedia - HOLY CRAP - having a fresh knowledge of the terms made the song explode into reality. It all made sense and it showed the brilliance of Tuomas and his ability to meld it all into a composition and song like nothing before. As song writers go, Tuomas is on a completely different level. BTW, you're close to how tall Floor is. She's 6-1 but in her spikes she prolly pushes 6-4 to 6-5. She's a beast in the very best possible way.
Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. The creation of the universe, life on Earth and everything within one song. Tuomas had to shorten this opus to make if physically possible for the band to perform it live! The next deep space probe like Voyager 1 and 2 should have this song on it's golden record. - If and when ET finds it, works out how to hear it, translates it and understands it "We WERE here" might be all they get to know about us and this planet! You will probably like the track "Tribal" if you have not heard it before, Kai, the drummer, had to buy more toms to add to his kit for that song.... and the skeleton dance!
Hey welcome back Bro , good seeing you back to Nightwish......they just released they're new Album ......you have to react to " an ocean of strange islands" the lyric video .....its one of the best songs that has come out in long time . She's about 6'5 with those heels .....6'1 without
Thanks for your reaction. Floor looks indeed at least 6'5" on my screen. And I know she claims to be 183 cm which translates to 6 feet. The video is a bit compressed.
Floor is 6'2" flatfooted. Shes also wearing high heels. Shes a Valkyrie Goddess. Also love your energy snd your reactions. Your Nightwish is a LONG AND WONDROUS AND MAGICAL journey. I promise you. WE WERE HERE. Also you missed more in the credits
7:09 that's an irish bagpipe....The uilleann pipes also known as Union pipes and sometimes called Irish pipes, are the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland."
Thanks Bro.
More NIGHTWISH please.
I like you.
Kisses from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

The instrument you thought was a flute is actually an Irish Low Whistle but it's from the flute family of instruments
The 2nd instrument you asked about that Troy was playing is the Uilleann Pipes. It's an Irish bagpipe.
Nightwish always gives me a punch to my soul....always.

❤You said Tampere perfectly.

Should have played it till the end...There is more from Richard Dawkins at the end.
🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done again
7:10 That instrument is the Irish bagpipes, the bags are pumped by the elbows instead of blowing into it.
The Uilleann Pipes but yes you're absolutely right.
@aether13x69 Thanks, I couldn't remember how to spell it.
Nightwish army Denmark reporting in 🎉
Thanks for your reaction.

Well she also has her heels to add a few inches to her 6 feet.
@@vogel2280 She said once in an interview that she's usually wearing 4 inch heels so that would put her at just over 6'4" of Valkyrie Goddess.
6ft is 180cm, she's 6'1" .. (Makkelijk te onthouden, mensen worden begraven op 180cm en in het Engels zeggen ze vaak "6ft under")
She's 183cm which is a hair over 6', less than 6' ⅛"
@williamhall9524 ah you're right. I always used 30cm for 1 foot, but it's 30,48 cm (30.48 for people from the USA).
Thank You. Hope you enjoyed it.
Ohw yeah, Floor is one tall woman, and ripped lime old t-shirt. Her muscle's are a site that makes many guys jealous
Floor is 6'2" flatfooted. Shes also wearing high heels. Shes a Valkyrie Goddess. Also love your energy snd your reactions. Your Nightwish is a LONG AND WONDROUS AND MAGICAL journey. I promise you.
WE WERE HERE.
Also you missed more in the credits
🤘🏽⚜️🤘🏽
She is 6"1" without the heels.
I believe Tupac liked it to..
You should react to country jays new song
