I am music teacher and I always put this masterpiece to my students (from 6 to 12 years old). I present them Tuomas as a contemporary composer as well.
That is so beautiful and heartwarming to read! Tuomas deserves to be known all over the world for his work cause it is just so exceptional and magical. Thank you for teaching our children his pieces of art 🥰
Thank you Tuomas, Nightwish, the London Session Orchestra and Choir AND the both of you so much for providing me with some 53 most valuable and best spent minutes of my life.
This is pure magic of Nightwish !!!! Ad Astra with Floor's vocals.....I have seen this on Live setting (Human :II: Nature world tour setlist ending song), and still, on this day, I cry at the end... NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘
Hey guys. The spoken words in Ad Astra are the following, originally written by Dr. Carl Sagan: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there -- on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." ~ Dr. Carl Sagan, _Pale Blue Dot_
From Wikipedia: The album's second disc, All the Works of Nature Who Adorn the World, is orchestral music in eight, with spoken parts performed by actress Geraldine James.[15] Performer of the second record in the London Session Orchestra.[16] The choir and orchestra arrangements were made by Pip Williams.[17][18] In the eighth volume, "Ad Astra", a quote from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot: Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994) is given.[19][20] Pale Blue Orchestra Isobel Griffiths - orchestral contractor Andy Findon - flute, alto flute Anna Noakes - flute, piccolo John Anderson - oboe, cor anglais Nicholas Bucknall - clarinet Dave Fuest - clarinet, bass clarinet Gavin McNaughton - bassoon, contrabassoon Nigel Black - French horn Martin Owen - French horn Philip Eastop - French horn Andrew Crowley - trumpet Kate Moore - trumpet Mike Lovatt - trumpet Andy Wood - tenor trombone Ed Tarrant - tenor trombone Dave Stewart - bass trombone Owen Slade - tuba Stephen Henderson - timpani, ethnic percussion Frank Ricotti - orchestral percussion Gary Kettel - orchestral percussion Paul Clarvis - ethnic percussion Perry Montague-Mason - violin Emlyn Singleton - violin Chris Tombling - violin John Bradbury - violin Emil Chakalov - violin Patrick Kiernan - violin Mark Berrow - violin Warren Zielinski - violin Rita Manning - violin John Mills - violin Chris Tombling - violin John Bradbury - violin Steve Morris - violin Pete Hanson - violin Clio Gould - violin Dai Emanuel - violin Daniel Bhattacharya - violin Peter Lale - viola Andy Parker - viola Julia Knight - viola Kate Musker - viola Helen Kamminga - viola Caroline Dale - cello Martin Loveday - cello Frank Schaefer - cello Jonathan Williams - cello Tim Gill - cello Chris Worsey - cello Chris Laurence - double bass Steve Mair - double bass Stacey Watton - double bass Skaila Kanga - harp Dirk Campbell - duduk, ethnic winds
If anything proves the band's deep connection with its fans, it's this total work of art! Which band can claim to have such fans as the NWA? Tell me just one! In my opinion, this is the best and most beautiful music video of all time. It represents Nightwish and what this band stands for, better than everything else!
Great reactions guys! Than you for covering this amazing work of art. The first quote was from Lord Byron's "Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage" poem. My favorite parts are Quiet as the Snow and of course Ad Astra. I grew up in northern Vermont about an hour from the Canadian border and spent many hours and days outside in the woods and skiing on the mountains. Tuomas has perfectly captured the beauty and solitude of the quiet of the winter woods and the music takes me right back to my childhood. I believe the whispers in the beginning of Quiet as the Snow are people saying Quiet as the Snow in different languages. The spoken word section in Ad Astra is from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. Carl Sagan is a famous astronomer and planetary scientist who was a member of the team operating Voyager 1 camera's and proposed having the spacecraft turn around and take a picture of Earth as it was leaving our galaxy. The picture was taken on Feb 14, 1990 and shows the Earth as pale blue speck within a band of light. It inspired Sagan to write the book Pale Blue Dot from which the spoken words are taken. The book is about our human place in the universe and how our home planet is a vulnerable, fragile place in the vast cosmic ocean. I find these words to be incredibly impactful, much like Ricard Dawkins quote in the outro to the Greatest show on Earth. Nightwish used Ad Astra as the outro for their Human Nature tour in 2022-2023. After taking their bows while the music and spoken words play in the background, the band members lign up on stage and Floor sings her vocal parts from the end of the piece. I love how Floor's vocal lines resolve at the end but the music doesn't leaving us hanging. I think this is Tuomas's genius way of saying we know humanities future but our planets future is still unknown and it is up to us to make sure there is a future. Thanks again for reacting to this song that so many pass by.
Alana, Kyle - we've not spoken for a while, but i've always been here, watching your channel (and your love for each other) grow, from here in the wings. Just imagine the miracle of the two of you being born at all, in the same decade, and in the same neighbourhood, so that one day you actually met! What incredible miracle of fate must have then happened, that one day you stumbled upon the music of Tuomas Holopainen through your reaction channel? The chances of all of these things conspiring to happen is so mind-bogglingly unlikely, that I find all of this qverwhelming. And then there are all of us who follow you and contribute from time to time. What miracle of birth have we all been blessed with to be alive and present that we can share his music with you? Truly, WE WER HERE. Thank you for this reaction. God Bless the two of you and little Ollie of course. Kevin x
On the Human: Nature tour, the concerts ended with Ad Astra, during which Floor sang her part live. I participated in two Nightwish concerts that tour, Tampere 2022 and Kitee 2023. Both times Ad Astra made me very moved. The atmosphere was full of hope.
The whole album from start to finish it’s absolutely beautiful. CD2 it’s the cherry on top! Love that you said like this is a love letter to the orchestra 🥰 it really is. Didn’t think about that. 😄
everything about this nature documentary that Tuomas and his crew put together should all get oscars for this absolutely stunning work that shows everything about this planet that we all know and love holy smokes the images and drone work top tier production holy crap
Great reaction, guys. This is tuomas' magnum opus. Will he ever top this? ^^ The whole record is a masterpiece. My favourite parts are 'the green', 'the moors' and 'white and quietness'. Can listen to this piece of art all day long.
As you say Nightwish are very mindful of nature and mankind's effect upon it. The last two albums with Floor have both tried to bring this across to people.
By the way Tuomas was supposed to study biology in university when he wrote Oceanborn album. He didn't get much study points but made break trough album.
Not biology, but environmental science at Kuopio University. (I also studied there in the same university degree program two years earlier, but quit at the spring 1996, when he came in the same autumn)
@@johannessilver8653 "When 20-year-old environmental science student Tuomas Holopainen had to choose between a master's degree and a dream that had popped into his head, the choice was easy. It was the spring of 1998, and the Nightwish band he had founded a few years earlier was booming: their debut album was selling well and the gigs were bustling. This is what I want to do, Holopainen mused. He dropped out of Kuopio University and moved back to his parents' house in Kitee. It was time to find out what the life of a full-time musician was like. - It tasted so good that we're still on the same path." (News article-interview from 2014)
Thanks you react on this album, unfortunately there are only a few which are reacting on this magnificent dubble album. Thank you very much. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
The fan video, Yay! Byron, read by Geraldine James, Cello, strings... Floor! (T-shirt!). The video is such a good fit with the music, brilliant selections and editing. Very difficult to pick a favourite. "The Green" reminds me of years ago, listening to Jean-Michel Jarre "Oxygene" on headphones and realising the music was ebbing and flowing, breathing. The green plants are giving us oxygen to breathe. The bagpipes hit home! The melancholy feelings and yet uplifting. I recognise some of the coast :) Aurora, the drums and harp? The whispers in "Quiet as the Snow", I think is an homage to "40 words for snow", but in different languages, the Finns have a lot of words for snow, I hear French "neige". The sound landscape changes with fresh snow. Stonehenge! Geradine James with a Carl Sagan quote. The Pale Blue Dot Ochestra. Ad Astra, Floor did it live as the finale! Off to Mars...
This video is stunning, and I think it enhances the music, making it even more powerful than it already is. I have one teeny tiny complaint however. In "The Blue" there is a scene showing some glowing fish, with different colors. Those are glofish, genetically modified zebra danios, and they are kind of an odd choice for a video that is accompanying a song that celebrates the natural world and its beauty, glofish aren't very natural, and quite controversial. When it comes to snow, it's beautiful to look at, but a hassle when you have to drive in it. We don't get much snow anymore where I live, if I remember correctly it snowed a lot more when I was a kid. Sometimes I do think that I was born in the wrong part of the world, the cold isn't really my thing, I am more of a spring/summer person, so I like this country for about 6 months of the year 😆 But every christmas I am hoping it will snow a little at least.
Personally I listen this without any video, I have good imagination and I like take my own mind in use instead looking already made pictureflow. Even though this is beautiful video, it will distrac viewer away from music itself.
Thanks for a great reaction, ive seen this many times, but another watch is absolute a joy, its a well made fan video, and music with a mood, i will advice you to check out the original Ad Astra videoNW made, however, its only track here that got its own video, beside the beautiful fan made, you need to see it to get the complete exprience of CD2.
I was watching Silo on apple TV when a certain character made an appearance. I though...man, I've heard that voice before! Yep...it's Geraldine James, who's did the voice work on Ad Astra. (Took me about 10 minutes and a Google search to figure it out haha) \m/
Great reaction - just watching your expressions made it worthwhile, and your thoughts just added to that. The quote at the start is from Byron, who was a dick but still a very good wordsmith. There was an early critic of H2N who said they didn't think anyone would listen to the second disc more than once, but they've been proved wrong many times over! I've certainly listened to this more than any track on the first disc (mind you, I'm the sort of weirdo who went to see _Koyaanisqatsi_ in the cinema). I would _love_ for you to do the whole _Imaginaerum_ album! It almost always gets overlooked because it's an Anette offering, but I think it works so well as an album. It's my second-favourite NW album (after _EFMB)._
Open you mind and your eyes to the real world. Remove those psychological blinders. It is everywhere. The one thing we are uniquely capable of is to change our surrounding through our selfish reasoning and aided by technology. We are in a struggle to control our environment instead of living within the natural cycle. Existence is both cruel and violent, as well as beautiful and serene all at once.
Nightwish loveletter to planet earth and nature - truly. Credits to Pip and the orchestra too. Good reaction for this...with comments. I think NW wants to make people to think...use brains and see issues....not just that greed you mentioned. They make money yes but that is not the purpose of NW and like Tuomas he is just like an ordinary guy. They also donate money for nature protection.
If you guys love this you should check out Thomas Bergersen. He’s the absolute god of cinematic album music (couple of examples: Mountain Call, Humanity, Cruising in Space, That’s a Wrap)
this isn´t Nightwish - This is Tuomas Holopainen feat. Nightwish´s Floor Jansen (ad astra) and Troy Donockley - Uillean Pipes (the moors) and this is the most beautiful half an hour of music i ever listened to ... i don´t need a video for this, just close my eyes and i see a lot of pictures and colours while listening
I am music teacher and I always put this masterpiece to my students (from 6 to 12 years old). I present them Tuomas as a contemporary composer as well.

A beautiful composition by Tuomas You can feel his love to nature in every little detail of this piece of music.
Tuomas really liked this video that the fan did. Ive listened to disc1 and then2 and then the opposite. To think this music was in Tuomas's head
Ad Astra ❤
The opening poem is from Lord Byron the closing statement is from Carl Sagan. This is the second part of a trilogy, can wait for part 3 in 2024.
On the Human: Nature tour, the concerts ended with Ad Astra, during which Floor sang her part live.
