2015 - Élan "Meet me where the cliff greets the sea" "Free fall awaits the brave" "Write the lyric for the song only you can understand" 2020 - How's the Heart "We met where the cliff greets the sea Shared a story, took the leap Rose up rooted, hid a note You know where You`ve been there" OH NIGHTWISH YOU DID IT
I'm gonna get all sappy and sobby here but frick it. I'm one of the too many suffering from depression, and a frequent struggle of finding "a point" of doing basic essential things to keep my life going. This song brings me to tears. It's not only beautiful, but it reminds me of the people who are always there to pick me up. The ones who care. Good friends, great family and wonderful partner. This track gives me strength in a time when I need it. And I hope it can do the same for others too. You don't need to do it alone. Thank you, Floor, Tuomas, Marco, Emppu, Troy and Kai. I needed this.
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
@@cosmicwakes6443 the ruling class is to blame. There is little to no news making it past the propaganda machine. I for one am horrified by what those who claim to rule us are doing. We need class consciousness, I have much more in common with the yemmeni people than the ruling classes.
This song hit hard... Here I sit, just another John Doe. ...having been diagnosed with testicle cancer 2 weeks ago. ...having been operated on 10 days ago. ...having been told I need chemotherapy 6 days ago. ...had a haircut yesterday. 60cm to cleanly shaven bald, but the hair is donated and will go to someone who lost his hair to cancer and has a hard time dealing with the fact. I shook it on many concerts, now it is needed by someone else. To me the song speaks: show some more empathy. Make the world a better place. Should anyone still read: don´t worry. I have a ~95% chance of complete recovery. And should anyone consider loosing 25cm or more of hair: donate it. Make the world a better place for someone in need. Here I sit, just another John Doe, asking myself if I have the ball to click "send"...
@@Amesthys thank you for your words. They come just in time... I was admitted to the hospital yesterday, 3 1/4 hours ago I got my first dose of medication against throwing up. In 45 minutes the first dose of chemotherapy is due... The side of my neck is hurting from putting in the tube into the main vein. Waking up to kind words from a stranger does help. (it's 07:15am in Germany. And who'd have guessed that those darn onion cutting ninjas are starting so soon...) But I'm fine. I'll have a piece of dark and stony path to walk, but right now I see that some of the stones might be gems. And if I go on I might find my personal Elvenpath🤔\m/
@@al1rednam Dude, that must be hard and terrifying to live with. I would want to say something more about it, but I haven't experienced anything like that and I don't know how you feel, so I really can't say anything else. I just sincerely hope you're still ok and that you pull this through. Remember to stay strong, but also remember to let out your feelings every once in a while. It really helps. Also, you're speaking straight facts. Making the world a better place is the most important thing ever. That is my goal, too, but my mindset is really fucked up, and I really don't think I can ever make up for all of the evil stuff I've said to people, but I'm dang well gonna try. Even if it's something as simple as a TH-cam comment. Thanks for reminding me about my goals, and again, stay strong and keep fighting. I wish you all the best, wether it is here on Earth or in the afterlife. But let's hope you don't have to go there just yet.
@@terraristit3752 hey dude... Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them. I'm feeling fine at the moment. Sure, therapy makes me feel sick and bodily weak but up to now I keep up my morale and positive attitude - if I may say so myself. Plus I have the suspicion that the whole thing makes me mentally stronger. Of course it really helps that the therapy for testicle cancer is one of the mildest in comparison to all the other cancer types and that my prognosis is about 98% chance of complete recovery within 6 to 12 months. I receive quite a lot of encouragement from friends or from strangers like yourself. And I realize who doesn't act this way. I have a feeling that my friend group will get a little smaller but better in the end... It's true (for me) that hardship changes perception of life and people. Concerning your allegations that you are not a perfect human being and not as good as you want to be all I have to say is : NOBODY is perfect. Certainly I am not. But you seem to be aware of at least some of your flaws and are trying to improve yourself. That earns my respect and I wish you the success you need. (it was a conscious philosophical "need" instead of "want"). Just so you know: you brought a tray of light to me on the day I was tested for Covid prior to my hopefully last admission to hospital for chemo therapy. I know it will be the hardest of the 3 cycles but I expect to be cancer free in 4 weeks.
I grew up on old school metal, 80's Metallica, Sabbath, Pantera etc. Nightwish were the first band to widen my taste and bring me to amazing bands like Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation etc. So it's not surprising that Nightwish continue to grow and surprise me. Phenomenal album, Kai's drumming off the hook, lost track of how many singing styles Floor performed perfectly. 10/10! What a band!
Me too,, AND i have friends that nota understand that, AND critizce me cause the band have a female vocal, AND saya ITS metal pussy... So aré total ignorants.. i love old school pantera, slayer , Metallica, dimmu, but Nightwish, épica, within etc aré fuxking amazing AND gorgeus
I've listened to this many times and each time I notice another little thing about it that I love. It really feels like Nightwish is reaching out to anyone who is going through a hard time, saying, "We're here, you're not alone. You'll be okay. There's hope." I've suffered from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and panic attacks and had suicidal thoughts for several years, and this song feels like a gentle embrace and a reminder that there are people who care, that my illnesses can be beaten. "Burn the rope and dance some more/Dull the blade and dance some more," they are saying, don't give up, don't end your life, we're here and we care, keep going. It gets better. Thank you Tuomas, Marko, Emppu, Troy, Kai, and Floor for this beautiful song and message. You guys are bringing hope in a dark time. We love you!
I hope you're doing well and getting all the love and support you need to come through the hard times (and to enjoy the good ones, of course ;-) ) "Night will come but not to stay " - I really hope that your condition will get better and wish you all the very best
@@MrHerbsti thank you very very much. I am doing well right now and the panic attacks seem to have stopped. It's still a struggle but it's definitely better than it was.
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
_Sorrow hides well in your shell_ _A fellow man with hurt to spare_ _Dear one,_ _Here I am to share the fear_ _An act of kindness_ _Without an amen_ _How's the heart underneath the silence?_ _How's the one drowning in the mire?_ _Let us sound a human paean_ _Come in, the fire's warm_ _Burn the rope and dance some more_ That got to me, I've been battling depression for YEARS and I am no stranger to the feeling of not wanting to see the light of another day. But because of a few people in my life, they inspired me to keep going. I love the music that Nightwish brings, when they say "music speaks to you" it is true, though not all of the music you hear speaks to you directly, which is why Nightwish is one of the VERY few artists I have a passion for. Thank you Nightwish, that your music helps me take my mind off of these terrible thoughts and wanting to listen to more. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"I love the music that Nightwish brings, when they say "music speaks to you" it is true, though not all of the music you hear speaks to you directly". Perfect words. I'm become a fan 11 years ago, and since the very first song I heard they speaks direct to my mind and my soul. Every song of every album has a personal message for me.
I understand you dear, I been batling with depression since i'm 12, not something i've choose, but life happens, and sometimes just smash you in the way. And if I can tell you something it's that music it's powerful and heals, let your entire body just succumb with the melody and know that all of us need to talk and be heard. I'm here if you need to be hear. Hugs.
Last time I cried was 2 years ago when my mother passed away, and now listening to this song. So emotional, so deep, so powerful, yet so simple. Sometimes all we need to do is ask: "How's the heart?".
@@floorjansenhaters1659 Oh come on now!!! You call yourself Floor Jansen haters but I think you secretly love her otherwise you wouldn't be here. If you hate her so much then why waste your time?
At first, for me, it was just a typical Nightwish's radio-friendly song. But there is something in the lyrics that speaks to me as i listnen to it over and over. That one simple message , the thing we often forget on a daily basis: kindness. How beautifl this world would be if every single person in the world could care for another? It's just a simple question - "How's the heart?", but this simple question could be all someone may need.
Imo, the answer to why we just keep listening it over and over is in the extreme amount of variations that Floor makes when she sings. It's not just singing, you can almost feel her breath close to you if you close your eyes...it's definitely something else in terms of sensations!
@@quiCksilvieZzz There's a lot of variety on European airwaves. - The radio stations in North - America are virtually unlistenable... Thankfully the internet fills-in the void.
@Paul I discovered NW back in the day when Nemo was played on the mainstream radio. Now I don't listen to mainstream radio anymore, but I suppose none of these new songs are there. But I could imagine for example Alpenglow being played somewhere...
The second verse of this song was written by Tuomas for Floor, and is about her meeting her Hausband and having her daughter (a Child of light). After hearing that I get even more ghosebumps.
I see Elize, so need to give thumps up. The entire album is getting even better the more I am listening. Even the NWO needed to let the truth pass because it is hidden as art. So the album hit No.1 on Germany's LP-charts on its first entry. Big "Noise", only comparable with those from 911, all around the globe, although, according to the world's first known scientific study in Heinsberg (Germany's epi-centre of Corona), where they had a representative sampling of both, healthy and infected ppl by excluding of infected ppl who died on heart attack, strokes and else, both infection rate and death rate are not different from ordinary flu, so what ? Like at 911 it's not about the evidence, it's all about the measures that will remain to get us one more step into the brave new world. Along with 5g, nano tech and more monitoring technique, we are all witnessing the prequel of the Matrix trilogy: "How did mankind get into the matrix ?"
I would answer: The heart I once had is now hidden from others, for fear of being betrayed for no other reason than because another can. It has suffered the greatest death a heart can suffer: The end of hope.
I have had to deal with a lot of depression and crushing anxiety. Part of why I'm on disability, a "gift" from insomnia and chronic illness. It fluctuates, some days can be very dark, some are merely grey. But Tuomas has put the color back for me. Nightwish sparkles my scenery, tucks me in under the blue. They fend off the swinging pendulum, dull the blade and burn the rope. It's like Tuomas has been rummaging around in my head, finding things that need to be dragged out and whacked hard with a shovel.
It's still amazing how Floor Jansen took whole band to the new level. Also brought perfect harmony and balance into music and band. Yeah Tuomas is composer and this is perfect job for him, but you need also good vibes and chemistry with persons to work it best. 👌 😎

Nightwish was a surprise discovery for me. Somehow in the late 90's I was watching a show called "The Snowman" (likely because my first born was in 1996). I heard the song "Walking in the Air" (don't even know which recording) and fell in love with the song. Later I decided to look it up and of all places I found it listed on a Nightwish album called "Oceanborn". I went to my local music store and had to order the album - it shipped from overseas - and finally arrived a few weeks later. As a progressive / classic rock fan and a professional (back then) grade trombonist I already had a wide musical pallet. This exposed me to something I had never heard - I loved it - and even now I'm waiting for the latest album to ship. I like all lineups of the band and so far I'm grateful they are still making music. :-)
In Finland, The Snowman airs on TV every Christmas so everyone knows it and so it was a smart move from Nightwish to record it at the time. I've also heard Walking in the Air is one of the Nightwish's songwriter's favorite songs
Looking at the world today, seems to be a majority don't have a heart...lovely Floor singing every word she is saying is pure music magic with all of these songs. Thank you Tuomas and co from the bottoms of my heart ❤
If you truly believe the majority don't have a heart then the brainwashing is working on you. 99% of people have, it's the 1% who control everything you see and do that don't. Even Tuomas agrees that everyone in the world is inherently good. Don't believe anything the media tells you it's only there to control your thoughts.
@@slash-1971 I was more thinking of how the mass, majority of the people go with the corrupted governments...the 1% that yes don't have a heart. Try to say anything to them and they think you are crazy.
@@Piia2023 The majority that go with the governments are just uneducated, but they still have hearts. Its the illusion of having a choice or democracy as its called. You only have to look at the world at the moment, people have given up their freedom in the blink of an eye for what they think is protection. I will always try to find the beauty in everything, it just takes a little more searching these days!
Every single song just give me goose bumps all over, this album is a true and utter masterpiece, my GOD, the talent of this band. Mind completely and utterly blown away.
@@Vince_est.97 Well I think he shines in the second part of Harvest, Pan, Tribal and a very nice solo in Music as well. Emppu actually shines in all songs as the guitar is for the most part very central in a lot of songs. Either way I think he was not overlooked, they are all part of the creative process and each member has input, I would be surprised if Tuomas and the others did something in this album which Emppu didn't support. He doesn't strike me as a person who necessarily needs to shine either, he is just awesome, while being quiet about it :-)
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
“Night will come but not to stay” is such a gut punch. I cry every fucking time. We need these reminders that we are not alone and hurt is a shared human experience.
What I love most about this album is how warm, empathetic and hopeful it is. It feels like the old magic and the new style. Much as I like 'Noise' I'm glad it was the outlier. This album was the one we need in these dark days of plague, injustice and madness.
One of the most commercial songs of the album, but it is my favourite. By far. I'm a 36 year old dude, but I cry every single time I hear it. It touches me to the core. Far out...
I listened to this song at the first time during a cloudy evening on September, while i am sitting in the garden and it drizzling outhere ,watching the gathering of dark clouds in the sky , it was a spiritual moment!! The art is the mirror that reflects the beauty of the human being, im a painter and i use to listening to nighwish and another classic music while I'm drawing.❤️❤️❤️
How's the heart? I love my mom, she is strong and she is fighting cancer, she is my only family. This song makes me happy in hope 🌻 Thank you #Nightwish #TuomasHolopainen #FloorJansen
I still remember: one month before the ufficial release of the album Human Nature, in the middle of Covid 19 crisis, I have found Toumas short video message (from his home, I suppose, and I can't find that video anymore). He just said few words, and he asked "How's the heart?". I didn't know yet that it was the title of new song but something in his voice and in this short warm heart message gave me hope, courage and faith to continue with my life. This band sincerely and deeply cares about the fans. Thank you for being what you are, Nightwish.
When I first started listening to Nightwish it was mostly their older stuff so I was of course "Team Tarja" (will always love her though and she has the best Christmas album ever!) But as time goes by and I listen to Floor not only covering old Nightwish but also performing masterpieces such as this song, I now feel that not only is she my personal favorite of the Nightwish leads, she is truly one of my favorite singers of all time! Her range and versatility are just unreal and so very preciously rare. Floor, you are what Nightwish was waiting for!! 🥰🤘❤️
My sentiments exactly. And can come only from an old NW fan. Though tbh the more "unprejudiced" ones are the ones that met the band recently and so they are not clouded by old experiences. For us the old fans takes sometime to get there. And some will never get there...because whatever 😂
Yes, all three leading Nightwish ladies were/are of their time and essential to the evolution of Nightwish but for me Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish 🙏😊👍❤️
This song gets to me, it gets me so hard. I almost can't watch or hear this without watering up. How does this band manage to raise that many emotions? It's incredible. The sound, the instrumentation, the vocals (of course), the lyrics, the folk vibes, the part where the guitar is beating like a heart... It's perfection. Tuomas is such a musical genius, a blessing to this world.
So many of the themes and lyrics from the album seem so relevant to what's happening now. Thank you Nightwish for such an uplifting ,emotional and beautiful album.
The folk songs of NW always make me dance around a fire, warming the heart. Sweet song. The vocals are beautiful here. Floor and Troy, you sound like one. That Endind!
Radio Finland plays listeners requested songs every day at midnight for an hour. They have pretty much ignored the new NW album on Radio Finland. A few hours ago they finally played "How's the heart" on my request. Fifth or sixth time I asked them to play it. Sounded really good. Yess!
@@massimilianovincioni1153 No idea! Of course I was only talking about YLE's (Finnish broadcasting company) Radio Finland, but it is the number one radio station in Finland, most listeners. And it is taxpayer funded. They play many kinds of music, but maybe NW songs are too long. Tuomas doesn't write typical 3 minute songs. "How's the heart" is 'only' 5 minutes.
@@doralilikovacs2898 thank you so much..i lost my grandpa in 2016, he is also cancer.. i hope your grandpa get well soon..take care of him they are precious..
This is definitely one of my top favorite songs off the album so far!!! Floor’s vocals are strong on the course, and gentle on the verses which is what I love about her vocal style! Troy’s backing vocals add another deep and calming layer to the course as well, and I love his additional vocals on this song, as well as on the other songs of this album and on Endless Forms Most Beautiful! The other aspects of this song that I love are Troy’s pipes played along with the guitar before the verses of the song! The drumming is nice and tight, and does a really amazing job at keeping the song together! Given the times in which we’re living right now, I think that this song and the question it asks are something that everyone should keep in mind! Thank you to Night Wish for releasing this song and album!!!
HOWHOWHOW CAN a song BE SO BEAUTIFUL IM CRYING WHILE TYPING THIS!!!! I CANT STOP THE TEARS and I DONT WANT TO!!!!! WHATISHAPPEINGTOME!!!!?????? WHAT IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
Slatka ne toliko metalska pesma ali mocna u isto vreme,zato je ovaj bend za mene najbolji na svetu,ne moras da napravis neku metalcinu da bi iskazao emocije nego mozes i ovakvim pesmama i to funkcionise savrseno.
At times the drum beat sounds like a heart beat, especially when the ulliean pipes are playing then Floor sings at one point like the beat of a heart 😍. Maybe I'm listening too much into it. I love finding and hearing these little things ❤ so many layers and details in these songs xx This song has saved me. I've been waking up for the past few nights with this song playing in my head. I cry at the second verse every time. Its such a beautiful song. Thank you Tuomas and Nightwish ❤
This song is so good and comforting. I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a while, so that might have an impact on my interpretation, but "drowning in the mire" "burn the rope and dance some more" "dull the blade and dance some more" hit close to home. Thanks Nightwish for constantly making awesome music !! So far my fav songs from this album are Noise, Harvest, Shoemaker, How's the Heart, the Green, the Blue and Ad Astra. I think the other songs are cool too and I have to relisten to them to really appreciate them, but I'm too busy listening to my fav songs
Nightwish no deja de sorprenderme, su versatilidad en cada álbum, Nightwish es una banda que destaca del resto de las bandas, demostrando que inovar puede ser algo hermoso.
Yes it's a bit like Harvest, Procession and Music... If it didn't get you right away it slowly grows on you, more and more, every time you listen to it
How’s the heart? Is it suffering? Is it in pain? Is it broken? Even when you feel all this, your heart is still whole. Your heart is still beating meaning you’re still standing. Deep down there is a light inside your heart that is burning and shining brightly cause you didn’t lose hope. Even in the darkest and deepest despair, your heart will continue to beat for hope and love with people that care for you by your side.
The heart is in pain, right now. But, thankfully, Nightwish came up with amazing new songs that soothe, make us think and look at ourselves. I'm amazed.
Love this band 4ever. It's music has been there for me when ever I have had big challenges in my life. Comforting, bringing joy, reminding me of how strong we are..how beautiful life is.
First listen did pretty much nothing for me. Second try: sitting outside in the dark after a sauna, drinking beer, headphones on high volume... What can I say. Another masterpiece from this group. Thank you Nightwish.
Another outstanding album. I'm 53 being a drummer I have listened and played with a whole array of music. But for the last 15 years Nightwish have been my number one music fix. This album has many many different and difficult arrangements, but it all runs so smoothly in a perfect rhythm; A sea of melody if you will! I would personally like to say to Kai, great stick and kick combination man, really great stuff. wow! Floor, your vocals just left me speechless and a small tear to my eye at times. Emppu's riff's really gets the blood pumping, air guitar galore. Marko, thunder roaring bass licks are fantastic. Love your work Troy. Tuomas, well what can anyone say, you are the master, enough said! On a personal note I do miss Emppu solo's, more guitar solo's next time please.
Oh, what a lovely song! It's the kind of masterpiece that, at the same time will bring a smile to your lips and tears to your eyes. I'm not even going to try to write something clever. This is the Nightwish I love that can bring an old cynic to tears.
Floors perfect vocals with Marco/Troy just seeping through a little in the background to make a beautiful whole. I seriously love how the vocal talents of the band are used on this album with this track being a great example.
Amazing, I am speechless.... And once again, I'll say the same thing I always said about this band: Nightwish: the music from angels coming to earth finding that electric guitar, keyboards and drums are better than harps.
That heart with inner gears would make for the coolest necklace! If I knew anything about metal working, I'd make one myself lol. I know I'd wear it everyday to remind myself to see the goodness and kindness in the world around me and to spread that love everywhere I see!
How did it take me three times listening to realise what "now there's one who came from me" means. And ""Night will come but not to stay" just happened to fit so well into the epidemic. Stay tough and keep your loved ones save, we will not just overcome the sickness but also the recession, which will be harder and last longer.
@@basicguy5785 no you,re right but floor can sing all the songs of the other singers but they can not sing floor with nightwish she can sing operatic--metal --rock--jazz--pop--country
@@jzundert I agree that when it comes to diversity, Floor may be the best female singer around. But if you just take one genre, you can probably find someone better than her. Anyways, I will take Floor's diversity any day over a perfect one trick pony.

I have a feeling that my friend group will get a little smaller but better in the end... It's true (for me) that hardship changes perception of life and people.
Concerning your allegations that you are not a perfect human being and not as good as you want to be all I have to say is : NOBODY is perfect. Certainly I am not. But you seem to be aware of at least some of your flaws and are trying to improve yourself. That earns my respect and I wish you the success you need. (it was a conscious philosophical "need" instead of "want").
Just so you know: you brought a tray of light to me on the day I was tested for Covid prior to my hopefully last admission to hospital for chemo therapy. I know it will be the hardest of the 3 cycles but I expect to be cancer free in 4 weeks.
I grew up on old school metal, 80's Metallica, Sabbath, Pantera etc. Nightwish were the first band to widen my taste and bring me to amazing bands like Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation etc. So it's not surprising that Nightwish continue to grow and surprise me. Phenomenal album, Kai's drumming off the hook, lost track of how many singing styles Floor performed perfectly. 10/10! What a band!
Me too,, AND i have friends that nota understand that, AND critizce me cause the band have a female vocal, AND saya ITS metal pussy... So aré total ignorants.. i love old school pantera, slayer , Metallica, dimmu, but Nightwish, épica, within etc aré fuxking amazing AND gorgeus
I think this song is about incest
@@The_Totes_Adorbs uhm.. what? Pretty sure this song is about having empathy for fellow human beings.
@@tiekogalaxylatte8839 I dunno man, the way the mother was holding the child, it looked like something Chris Hansen might need to barge in on.
@@The_Totes_Adorbs uhm.. you never saw a parent holding up a child like that? I have and it has absoluitely nothing to do with incest.
I've listened to this many times and each time I notice another little thing about it that I love. It really feels like Nightwish is reaching out to anyone who is going through a hard time, saying, "We're here, you're not alone. You'll be okay. There's hope." I've suffered from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and panic attacks and had suicidal thoughts for several years, and this song feels like a gentle embrace and a reminder that there are people who care, that my illnesses can be beaten. "Burn the rope and dance some more/Dull the blade and dance some more," they are saying, don't give up, don't end your life, we're here and we care, keep going. It gets better. Thank you Tuomas, Marko, Emppu, Troy, Kai, and Floor for this beautiful song and message. You guys are bringing hope in a dark time. We love you!
I hope you're doing well and getting all the love and support you need to come through the hard times (and to enjoy the good ones, of course ;-) )
"Night will come but not to stay
" - I really hope that your condition will get better and wish you all the very best
@@MrHerbsti thank you very very much. I am doing well right now and the panic attacks seem to have stopped. It's still a struggle but it's definitely better than it was.
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
No
@@MegaRiviera I did hear about that and it's beautiful. It seems like he really cares about and values her as a singer and a friend.
My favorite song on this album. Together with noise. And music. And pan. And shoemaker. Ah hell, the entire album is absolute ear candy!
😂😂 Ikr
Cannot disagree!
Perfect album. Got this as my ringtone
I couldn't agree more..hope Music is played on the upcoming tour..as the other 2 I think are on the setlist
My favorite Nightwish song is always the last one I listened to!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
_Sorrow hides well in your shell_
_A fellow man with hurt to spare_
_Dear one,_
_Here I am to share the fear_
_An act of kindness_
_Without an amen_
_How's the heart underneath the silence?_
_How's the one drowning in the mire?_
_Let us sound a human paean_
_Come in, the fire's warm_
_Burn the rope and dance some more_
That got to me,
I've been battling depression for YEARS and I am no stranger to the feeling of not wanting to see the light of another day. But because of a few people in my life, they inspired me to keep going.
I love the music that Nightwish brings, when they say "music speaks to you" it is true, though not all of the music you hear speaks to you directly, which is why Nightwish is one of the VERY few artists I have a passion for.
Thank you Nightwish, that your music helps me take my mind off of these terrible thoughts and wanting to listen to more.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've found Nightwish to be a wonderful antidepressant :)
@@Green-Lyon my friend, I 10000x10000% agree😁❤
@Hezekiah Rodriguez thank you for your kind words❤✨
"I love the music that Nightwish brings, when they say "music speaks to you" it is true, though not all of the music you hear speaks to you directly". Perfect words. I'm become a fan 11 years ago, and since the very first song I heard they speaks direct to my mind and my soul. Every song of every album has a personal message for me.
I understand you dear, I been batling with depression since i'm 12, not something i've choose, but life happens, and sometimes just smash you in the way.
And if I can tell you something it's that music it's powerful and heals, let your entire body just succumb with the melody and know that all of us need to talk and be heard.
I'm here if you need to be hear.
Hugs.
Last time I cried was 2 years ago when my mother passed away, and now listening to this song. So emotional, so deep, so powerful, yet so simple. Sometimes all we need to do is ask: "How's the heart?".
@@floorjansenhaters1659 And you lack brain, try Amazon maybe you can buy some :D

@@katrinarickard2286 This guy have brain damage
Jebote koliko bolesnik treba da budes da nazoves kanal Floor Jansen haters,svakakvih debila ima za psihijatrijsku ustanovu.
At first, for me, it was just a typical Nightwish's radio-friendly song. But there is something in the lyrics that speaks to me as i listnen to it over and over. That one simple message , the thing we often forget on a daily basis: kindness. How beautifl this world would be if every single person in the world could care for another? It's just a simple question - "How's the heart?", but this simple question could be all someone may need.
Imo, the answer to why we just keep listening it over and over is in the extreme amount of variations that Floor makes when she sings. It's not just singing, you can almost feel her breath close to you if you close your eyes...it's definitely something else in terms of sensations!
@Paul it does in Europe. Quite a lot actually!
@@quiCksilvieZzz There's a lot of variety on European airwaves. - The radio stations in North - America are virtually unlistenable... Thankfully the internet fills-in the void.
@Paul I discovered NW back in the day when Nemo was played on the mainstream radio.
Now I don't listen to mainstream radio anymore, but I suppose none of these new songs are there.
But I could imagine for example Alpenglow being played somewhere...
Red Pill Bulgaria-V2.0 As someone that loves in north america, I very easily agree with you. American radio is absolute dogshit 80% of the time.
"How`s the heart
underneath the silence?"... that, in a planetary quarantine. I´m speechless. Nightwish is a most amazing band in the UNIVERSE!
Take care of your heart, Marko. Sad, but respect for your decision. Take care. Nothing but love.
Goosebumps all over my body ❤️
The second verse of this song was written by Tuomas for Floor, and is about her meeting her Hausband and having her daughter (a Child of light). After hearing that I get even more ghosebumps.
Me too miss Ryd. same when you sing :)
I have goosebumbs on places I didn't know that was possible, to have goosebumbs.
I see Elize, so need to give thumps up. The entire album is getting even better the more I am listening.
Even the NWO needed to let the truth pass because it is hidden as art. So the album hit No.1 on Germany's LP-charts on its first entry. Big "Noise", only comparable with those from 911, all around the globe, although, according to the world's first known scientific study in Heinsberg (Germany's epi-centre of Corona), where they had a representative sampling of both, healthy and infected ppl by excluding of infected ppl who died on heart attack, strokes and else, both infection rate and death rate are not different from ordinary flu, so what ?
Like at 911 it's not about the evidence, it's all about the measures that will remain to get us one more step into the brave new world. Along with 5g, nano tech and more monitoring technique, we are all witnessing the prequel of the Matrix trilogy: "How did mankind get into the matrix ?"
@@pabloforte157 wtf dude to who have you that
This Song is so full of emotions. I'm 55 and it brings me teers in my eyes. Thank you nightwish for your music
It is not a shame. I´m 56 with the same feeling like you.
You two are too old for internet.
@@pabloforte157 And to young to die. 😂
- How's the heart?
- The heart I once had? It asks pleasure first...
Nice
I would answer:
The heart I once had is now hidden from others, for fear of being betrayed for no other reason than because another can. It has suffered the greatest death a heart can suffer: The end of hope.
I'm with you man xxxx
...it was always like that ;)
Once upon a time
I swore I had a heart
Years before the world I know
tore it all apart
Who knows where that comes from?
I have had to deal with a lot of depression and crushing anxiety. Part of why I'm on disability, a "gift" from insomnia and chronic illness. It fluctuates, some days can be very dark, some are merely grey. But Tuomas has put the color back for me. Nightwish sparkles my scenery, tucks me in under the blue. They fend off the swinging pendulum, dull the blade and burn the rope. It's like Tuomas has been rummaging around in my head, finding things that need to be dragged out and whacked hard with a shovel.
Those vocals at the end, my jaw hit the floor.
I see what you did there ...
@@TheStavrin You do? I don't.
@@thesnep4757 i think he thought floor could refer to Floor Jansen😁
@@nooaparkatti4571 Oh! That's true. Yeah, I totally thought of that.
@@nooaparkatti4571 Yes , thanks for clarifying :)
It's still amazing how Floor Jansen took whole band to the new level. Also brought perfect harmony and balance into music and band. Yeah Tuomas is composer and this is perfect job for him, but you need also good vibes and chemistry with persons to work it best. 👌 😎
Its also called aging, maturing, and learning from your mistakes :)
New maybe, higher - no
Not to forget the influence Troy brings to the band. I hear similarities between this album and the one Tuomas and Troy made with Johanna for AURI.
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
And yet, the band does not take full advantage of all her capabilities... Listen to her previous bands, ReVamp and After Forever
"Dull the blade and dance some more"
"Burn the rope and dance some more"
Oh Tuomas...
Those start out grim and turn so happy.
I didn't get it until now. Oh God.
Too bad for many there is nobody for them.
Sounds like what a depression survivor would write
He's come a long way since Poet and Pendulum and now is extending that love and care to all of us. I'm happy for him.
Nightwish was a surprise discovery for me. Somehow in the late 90's I was watching a show called "The Snowman" (likely because my first born was in 1996). I heard the song "Walking in the Air" (don't even know which recording) and fell in love with the song. Later I decided to look it up and of all places I found it listed on a Nightwish album called "Oceanborn". I went to my local music store and had to order the album - it shipped from overseas - and finally arrived a few weeks later. As a progressive / classic rock fan and a professional (back then) grade trombonist I already had a wide musical pallet. This exposed me to something I had never heard - I loved it - and even now I'm waiting for the latest album to ship. I like all lineups of the band and so far I'm grateful they are still making music. :-)
oceanborn is probably my favorite NW album followed by imaginaerum
I love Oceanborn too! It was my parent favourite when I was born, and it has been my favourite since I was like 4. (I'm 12 now.)
In Finland, The Snowman airs on TV every Christmas so everyone knows it and so it was a smart move from Nightwish to record it at the time. I've also heard Walking in the Air is one of the Nightwish's songwriter's favorite songs
@@topilepojarvicomposer6157 yep they give it more ''larger than life'' feeling for that song
Looking at the world today, seems to be a majority don't have a heart...lovely Floor singing every word she is saying is pure music magic with all of these songs. Thank you Tuomas and co from the bottoms of my heart ❤
If you truly believe the majority don't have a heart then the brainwashing is working on you. 99% of people have, it's the 1% who control everything you see and do that don't. Even Tuomas agrees that everyone in the world is inherently good. Don't believe anything the media tells you it's only there to control your thoughts.
@@slash-1971 I was more thinking of how the mass, majority of the people go with the corrupted governments...the 1% that yes don't have a heart. Try to say anything to them and they think you are crazy.
@@Piia2023 The majority that go with the governments are just uneducated, but they still have hearts. Its the illusion of having a choice or democracy as its called. You only have to look at the world at the moment, people have given up their freedom in the blink of an eye for what they think is protection. I will always try to find the beauty in everything, it just takes a little more searching these days!
Not everyone knows english, so many ppl gives a damn about lyrics.
Every single song just give me goose bumps all over, this album is a true and utter masterpiece, my GOD, the talent of this band. Mind completely and utterly blown away.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
One of their best and Tuomas really gave every member their moment
Piia Lindqvist2019 I missed an Emppu moment :( He has only one short solo.
Same here
@@Vince_est.97 Well I think he shines in the second part of Harvest, Pan, Tribal and a very nice solo in Music as well. Emppu actually shines in all songs as the guitar is for the most part very central in a lot of songs. Either way I think he was not overlooked, they are all part of the creative process and each member has input, I would be surprised if Tuomas and the others did something in this album which Emppu didn't support. He doesn't strike me as a person who necessarily needs to shine either, he is just awesome, while being quiet about it :-)
Been waiting for that moment of Floor's at 4:02 since she joined the band. And that operatic part at Shoemaker.. This album is pure masterpiece.
Nice story: the second verse of this song is actually written by Tuomas for Floor, describing her experience of meeting the love of her life (her hasband) and having her daughter ( a child of light). Really beautiful.
Best song of the entire album....floorgasm guaranteed worlds best female vocalist ...nightwish are legends of symphonic rock
FLOOR Jansen!!! Definitely The Best Voice im The World!!! Fank You FLOOR
the harmonies at the end astound me....
“Night will come but not to stay” is such a gut punch. I cry every fucking time. We need these reminders that we are not alone and hurt is a shared human experience.
What I love most about this album is how warm, empathetic and hopeful it is. It feels like the old magic and the new style. Much as I like 'Noise' I'm glad it was the outlier. This album was the one we need in these dark days of plague, injustice and madness.
Beside PAN my favorite song from the whole album. The ability of people to feel LOVE, to give LOVE but also to close their hearts behind a wall.
One of the most commercial songs of the album, but it is my favourite. By far. I'm a 36 year old dude, but I cry every single time I hear it. It touches me to the core. Far out...
I listened to this song at the first time during a cloudy evening on September, while i am sitting in the garden and it drizzling outhere ,watching the gathering of dark clouds in the sky , it was a spiritual moment!! The art is the mirror that reflects the beauty of the human being, im a painter and i use to listening to nighwish and another classic music while I'm drawing.❤️❤️❤️
Listening while in quarantine... take care every one.. 😊
You too :)
Thanks. You too
Welcome..😊
Same to you!
I‘m a hardcore-Nightwish-fan since 14 years now and I really have to say that nowadays they‘re better than ever!!! 🎶💖💙✨🤘🏻
I learn new words whenever Nightwish releases a new song.
The first few words gave me tears already, her voice is the best i have ever heard.
I've been through he'll in the past years and Nightwish has been with me through it all, my favorite band of all time. Nightwish forever!!!!
How's the heart?
I love my mom, she is strong and she is fighting cancer, she is my only family. This song makes me happy in hope 🌻
Thank you #Nightwish #TuomasHolopainen #FloorJansen
Prayers for your mom
@@ssjineon7032 You are very kind thank you so much!
I hope your mom gets well very soon
@@n_vs23 Thank you very much for your words, I wish it were so!
I hope she’s doing better.
I still remember: one month before the ufficial release of the album Human Nature, in the middle of Covid 19 crisis, I have found Toumas short video message (from his home, I suppose, and I can't find that video anymore). He just said few words, and he asked "How's the heart?". I didn't know yet that it was the title of new song but something in his voice and in this short warm heart message gave me hope, courage and faith to continue with my life. This band sincerely and deeply cares about the fans. Thank you for being what you are, Nightwish.
When I first started listening to Nightwish it was mostly their older stuff so I was of course "Team Tarja" (will always love her though and she has the best Christmas album ever!) But as time goes by and I listen to Floor not only covering old Nightwish but also performing masterpieces such as this song, I now feel that not only is she my personal favorite of the Nightwish leads, she is truly one of my favorite singers of all time! Her range and versatility are just unreal and so very preciously rare. Floor, you are what Nightwish was waiting for!! 🥰🤘❤️
My sentiments exactly. And can come only from an old NW fan. Though tbh the more "unprejudiced" ones are the ones that met the band recently and so they are not clouded by old experiences. For us the old fans takes sometime to get there. And some will never get there...because whatever 😂
Yes, all three leading Nightwish ladies were/are of their time and essential to the evolution of Nightwish but for me Tuomas found his shangri-la when Floor joined Nightwish 🙏😊👍❤️
I love the way the guitar riff simulates the heartbeat.. 3:00 nice!!
Did you notice the drums from 0:10 and from 1:25 also simulate a heartbeat? Genius! Well performed by Empu and Kai.
@@fjnw Simple details that makes a huge difference
That’s brilliant! ✨
Ooh it does as well. Just another reason to love Emppu and this song!
and the tempo of the song is 103-104 BPM, as for Stayin' Alive - the right tempo to give CPR chest compressions :)
This song gets to me, it gets me so hard. I almost can't watch or hear this without watering up. How does this band manage to raise that many emotions? It's incredible. The sound, the instrumentation, the vocals (of course), the lyrics, the folk vibes, the part where the guitar is beating like a heart... It's perfection. Tuomas is such a musical genius, a blessing to this world.
He writes from the heart. That’s it. ❤
So many of the themes and lyrics from the album seem so relevant to what's happening now. Thank you Nightwish for such an uplifting ,emotional and beautiful album.
The folk songs of NW always make me dance around a fire, warming the heart. Sweet song.
The vocals are beautiful here. Floor and Troy, you sound like one. That Endind!
Radio Finland plays listeners requested songs every day at midnight for an hour. They have pretty much ignored the new NW album on Radio Finland. A few hours ago they finally played "How's the heart" on my request. Fifth or sixth time I asked them to play it. Sounded really good. Yess!
Nightwish ignored in Finland ?? Why ??
@@massimilianovincioni1153 No idea! Of course I was only talking about YLE's (Finnish broadcasting company) Radio Finland, but it is the number one radio station in Finland, most listeners. And it is taxpayer funded. They play many kinds of music, but maybe NW songs are too long. Tuomas doesn't write typical 3 minute songs. "How's the heart" is 'only' 5 minutes.
Today my grandma died at the age of 81 due to cancer, Im filled with tears all day long. Nightwish is the only escape i knew.
Tlangval Sexy Lalsamuela : My sicerest condolences. I hope Nightwish will help you in your time of loss. Take care of yourself and stay safe.

@@doralilikovacs2898 thank you so much..i lost my grandpa in 2016, he is also cancer.. i hope your grandpa get well soon..take care of him they are precious..
@@samuelmalsawmkima6905 thank you! 💛
This is definitely one of my top favorite songs off the album so far!!! Floor’s vocals are strong on the course, and gentle on the verses which is what I love about her vocal style! Troy’s backing vocals add another deep and calming layer to the course as well, and I love his additional vocals on this song, as well as on the other songs of this album and on Endless Forms Most Beautiful!
The other aspects of this song that I love are Troy’s pipes played along with the guitar before the verses of the song! The drumming is nice and tight, and does a really amazing job at keeping the song together!
Given the times in which we’re living right now, I think that this song and the question it asks are something that everyone should keep in mind! Thank you to Night Wish for releasing this song and album!!!

I love how this song references Elan, its amazing!
I don't know which version I like more, this or the acoustic version that was also released today. Hell, I love them both.
HOWHOWHOW CAN a song BE SO BEAUTIFUL IM CRYING WHILE TYPING THIS!!!! I CANT STOP THE TEARS and I DONT WANT TO!!!!! WHATISHAPPEINGTOME!!!!?????? WHAT IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????
Amazing how Tuomas and the rest of Nightwish can surprise me over and over with their wonderful music, wonderful :-)
Wow...this one made me cry instantly. Just beautiful.
Slatka ne toliko metalska pesma ali mocna u isto vreme,zato je ovaj bend za mene najbolji na svetu,ne moras da napravis neku metalcinu da bi iskazao emocije nego mozes i ovakvim pesmama i to funkcionise savrseno.
At times the drum beat sounds like a heart beat, especially when the ulliean pipes are playing then Floor sings at one point like the beat of a heart 😍. Maybe I'm listening too much into it. I love finding and hearing these little things ❤ so many layers and details in these songs xx
This song has saved me. I've been waking up for the past few nights with this song playing in my head. I cry at the second verse every time. Its such a beautiful song. Thank you Tuomas and Nightwish ❤
This song is so good and comforting. I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a while, so that might have an impact on my interpretation, but "drowning in the mire" "burn the rope and dance some more" "dull the blade and dance some more" hit close to home. Thanks Nightwish for constantly making awesome music !! So far my fav songs from this album are Noise, Harvest, Shoemaker, How's the Heart, the Green, the Blue and Ad Astra. I think the other songs are cool too and I have to relisten to them to really appreciate them, but I'm too busy listening to my fav songs
what a masterpiece this album, nightwish just getting better and better, like an old wine
The drum beat during opening riff sounds like beating heart... there is just so much detail going to those songs. Love it.
The guitar riff 3:07 and on..is awesome....great Emppu.
How's The Heart touch my heart deep.
Olipas huono kappale.
3:06 Can't get over this part. My absolute favorite...
Really headbangy
Nightwish no deja de sorprenderme, su versatilidad en cada álbum, Nightwish es una banda que destaca del resto de las bandas, demostrando que inovar puede ser algo hermoso.
Now, this is a Nightwish ballad as we're all expecting... ♥♥♥♥
Non poteva mancare una ballata delle loro.......fantastico questo ultimo CD❤
I legit thought this is gonna be one of the weaker songs.
Yeah.
Haven't been able to stop listening to it since what, 3 days?
At first listen i felt like skipping all the way... And then here I am, replaying it like there's no tomorrow.
Yes it's a bit like Harvest, Procession and Music... If it didn't get you right away it slowly grows on you, more and more, every time you listen to it
How's the heart? For the heart I once had? That has been lost since 2007...
Omg...Tarja is still alive and singing...listen to her
Käy Suomen kirkkokonserteissa syksyisin, sieltä se sydän taas löytyy...
Pertti K. Tämän Pandemonian jälkeen olisi kiva palata takaisin Suomeen - siellä sydämeni on 😅
How’s the heart?
Is it suffering? Is it in pain? Is it broken?
Even when you feel all this, your heart is still whole. Your heart is still beating meaning you’re still standing. Deep down there is a light inside your heart that is burning and shining brightly cause you didn’t lose hope.
Even in the darkest and deepest despair, your heart will continue to beat for hope and love with people that care for you by your side.
This song is so beautiful. A beautiful tribute to human love in different kinds (couple, family...)
Actually a perfect song for this time
The heart is in pain, right now. But, thankfully, Nightwish came up with amazing new songs that soothe, make us think and look at ourselves. I'm amazed.
My favorite on the new album.. Nightwish is amazing!
Floor Jansen : Goddess, Siren, Warrior, Sweet and the Voice of Metal Forever 💗💗
This is like the 'alpenglow' of the album. So beautiful
Love this band 4ever. It's music has been there for me when ever I have had big challenges in my life. Comforting, bringing joy, reminding me of how strong we are..how beautiful life is.
The ending gives me chills.... Another master piece
First listen did pretty much nothing for me. Second try: sitting outside in the dark after a sauna, drinking beer, headphones on high volume... What can I say. Another masterpiece from this group. Thank you Nightwish.
I didn't really like any song on the album after first listen. This one really grows on you after listening a couple of times
Another outstanding album. I'm 53 being a drummer I have listened and played with a whole array of music. But for the last 15 years Nightwish have been my number one music fix. This album has many many different and difficult arrangements, but it all runs so smoothly in a perfect rhythm; A sea of melody if you will! I would personally like to say to Kai, great stick and kick combination man, really great stuff. wow! Floor, your vocals just left me speechless and a small tear to my eye at times. Emppu's riff's really gets the blood pumping, air guitar galore. Marko, thunder roaring bass licks are fantastic. Love your work Troy. Tuomas, well what can anyone say, you are the master, enough said!
On a personal note I do miss Emppu solo's, more guitar solo's next time please.
Same here... Been listening to Nightwish regularly for about 10 years... Anything else just sounds boring.
thank you sir!
Oh, what a lovely song! It's the kind of masterpiece that, at the same time will bring a smile to your lips and tears to your eyes. I'm not even going to try to write something clever. This is the Nightwish I love that can bring an old cynic to tears.
Thank the Universe for Nightwish in this increasingly insane and uncertain world x
Floors perfect vocals with Marco/Troy just seeping through a little in the background to make a beautiful whole. I seriously love how the vocal talents of the band are used on this album with this track being a great example.
The final line to this always gives me chills.
This is the most emotional song on the album. I cry everytime i hear it. So touching
This is one of the best songs I ever heard. Pure gold.
At first I thought I didn’t like this one, but it kept getting stuck in my head. Totally loving it now.
Me too!
I'm speechless. This is beautiful. I can picture myself listening to this song a lot. GJ!!!
This album came in perfect time that We are living in the world...
The lycrs make us think about all that happening...Where We came and Where will go.
After listening for the eleventh time I am sure, this is my favourite of the album.
Amazing, I am speechless....
And once again, I'll say the same thing I always said about this band:
Nightwish: the music from angels coming to earth finding that electric guitar, keyboards and drums are better than harps.
This song is so beautiful! The lyrics and that instrumental are just wow 😍 👏
I remember hearing about these guys back in the day from my brother.
And now from you??? You have to be gratefull to your brother, then!!! :p
Same here! I get to know this band through my brother like many yrs ago 😂
Me too, from my older brother over 17 years ago now 🤘
Same! My brother used to be a big fan back in early 2000s
Floor's voice is magic 🔥
Geweldig , Nightwish allemaal toppers 🌹🍀💖
That heart with the gears in the middle is going to be a new tattoo for a lot of people :)
That heart with inner gears would make for the coolest necklace! If I knew anything about metal working, I'd make one myself lol. I know I'd wear it everyday to remind myself to see the goodness and kindness in the world around me and to spread that love everywhere I see!
This is now my favorite on the album
End of this song is kind of mindblowing stuff!
Hey what's this???
Oh, just another masterpiece from Nightwish.
For real. I am blown away by this album.
@@chrisyork3709 yeah the whole album is incredible
Another shitpiece. Floor is amazing but since imaginaerum all albuns are boring and reclycle of older musics
@@hebertcoelho6560 for real. I'm into The Dark Element now.
@@jesseparrish9198 i'm into ghost and lacuna coil since 2015
How did it take me three times listening to realise what "now there's one who came from me" means.
And ""Night will come but not to stay" just happened to fit so well into the epidemic.
Stay tough and keep your loved ones save, we will not just overcome the sickness but also the recession, which will be harder and last longer.
This song is definitely hard to sing, only Floor can sing it that beautifuly 👌
the acoustic version is better
Really, how many other professional singers have you heard singing it? Floor is good, but she is not the only good singer.
@@basicguy5785 no you,re right but floor can sing all the songs of the other singers but they can not sing floor with nightwish she can sing operatic--metal --rock--jazz--pop--country
@@jzundert I agree that when it comes to diversity, Floor may be the best female singer around. But if you just take one genre, you can probably find someone better than her. Anyways, I will take Floor's diversity any day over a perfect one trick pony.
@@basicguy5785 i know what you mean but if you can sing any genre than are you the better singer
One of my favorites from their later works
