This is a celebration of a life well lived .. don't be sad .. with joy see your lost ones in nature .. and smile with memories. You see Floor with minimal makeup .. the lines in her face are simply beautiful.
Tuomas wrote this for his Father following his passing in 2022 - he said its not really a sad song but rather a celebration of a life well lived and of all of those who lit the way ahead for us. Personally I think it's possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard, so meaningful, so poignant and Floor delivers a truly stunning vocal performance as only she can. Great reaction guys, it's a fantastic album and I look forward to you working your way through it 🤘
Every time Floor keeps a song small, she warms us like a cozy fireplace on a cold winter night and hits her listeners right in the middle of their soul. My absolute favorite song, and I really hope that Floor will sing it next year at her solo concerts.
The final section, where Troy duets with Floor, is like a warm hug by the fire. Tuomas's writing and playing and Floor's outstanding performance steal the show, but I think Troy's contribution is also such an important part of this incredible musical masterpiece.
Their is music for entertainment; and there is music for the soul. The music of Nightwish is meant to touch you, and with lanternlight, they truly touch the soul. Amazing.
I did , and I voted among others from Nightwish for Lanternlight.☄️ This beautiful song comforts me while dealing with the sudden death of my brother last August 😢 . Next reaction , Children of Ata please , a very good song with a great story behind it 👌 .
This song is beautiful and so stirring. Love your reaction, as always spot on. This is so special. I lost a sister earlier this year and could not really cry. but the first time i heard Lanternlight, i was able to release the tears and tension of her loss. Long life to Nightwish, such beautiful talent.
I am so so glad that you both reacted to Nightwish and this song with Floor. You have the same emotions with them as I have. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
A Masterpiece. Tuomas, the genious with music and poets. And Floor, his muse, with her century voice. And in the Songs of Yesterwynde, Kai, Troy, Jukka and ❤Emppu ❤ are so amazing. NIGHTWISH for ever🤘🤘
The stunned looks on your faces when this song started were priceless! This is a masterpiece. 54 years old from Eastern England and this gets me every time, remembering my lost loved ones, especially my father. A beautiful reaction folks 😘🤘
I've been waiting for you to react to this exquisite song. For me, this is the best track on the album, and it is an excellent album. This song should be winning awards but, as they are a Finnish metal band, not enough people will hear this, which is a shame. It just leaves it as something special for fans of the band.
Dominika (Sp?) nails it...sometimes people are always looking back, nostalgically, and only really appreciate things when they're gone....NW are here, today, this lineup is a living legend. Enjoy every, single, moment they can give us. Can't wait for the live shows they've been promising sometime (2026?). Hope I live that long!
My personal song of the year 2024. Top 3 in my NW rating. Whatever guard you have up, when Floor's voice comes in she cut's thru it like a fresh sharpened butcher knife and get's you right into your soul and while your bleeding out you feel satisfied. When Floor goes into her emotional mode you can sleep in the finnish winter outside in the woods and still be warmed by her voice and feel comfortable. Much Love from Germany to you and your passionate reactions!
Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that Tuomas wrote to celebrate the life of his father that passed away in 2021. For me it empowers us to recognize our connection to nature and one another, ultimately signifying that even in times of uncertainty, despair & sorrow, there is beauty and hope to be found under the glow of the lanternlight. This song is so emotional, that they needed several takes to record Floor's vocals as she started crying over and over again. P.S. Their new album "Yesterwynde" is a sonic masterpiece.
I'm a little proud that I'm a Finn. Happy that artists like Tuomas and others are being born just over a hundred kilometers from my own home. Looking from the big city, in the middle of nowhere.
That was another nice reaction to this beautiful song. Nice detail at the end. The man in white is Pope Leo XIII. These are images from 1896, the first film images.
I have been waiting for you to react. Sigh...there you are. Thank you. Watching the two of you being so deeply moved was worth the wait. Yes, Everybody needs this song! ❤🎉
Floor is a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and it comes through on this song. She said it took several takes to get through this song as her emotions were getting to her because she knew the background of the song.
This one very beautiful , absolute beautiful I really wonder when Tuomas write the song do he have some question about Floor ability , I assumed everybody know her ability from deep growl to goddess voice but to be very beautiful human is new stunning !!!
It's about people who have passed away but are seen again in the daily things we do. They are always with you in everything you see and hear. Greetings from the Netherlands.
This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava. It is exquisite. I'm 73 and I am the last man standing in my family. I am the last of the Dorrity line. So this performance runs deep, cuts deep. I understand the feeling of loss, yet I still live with hope and intent. No small thing to live with intent. Floor's voice and this composition is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. There is a tenderness and vulnerability there that I have not heard before, and it just breaks you. And her face, good Lord, her beautiful face so expressive and adorned with nothing save her heart and soul just melts me to my core. Look at her gestures, her hands. So tender, so expressive. Her hands are speaking to you as well in a language unto its own. I am not ashamed to say that this staggeringly beautiful composition and the meaning behind it makes me want to cry on Floor’s shoulder. I’m sure she would understand. The poetry of this song is also heart-rendingly exquisite. It is a poem, a prayer, an elegy. Listen to it. Just listen to it. Tuomas’ poetry can easily stand alone. Some of you get it. Some of you don't. I do, and that's all that matters. Kiitos to all of you in Nightwish for delivering such epic and emotional story telling.
The biggest musical suprise of this song for me were those beautiful Chopin - like piano passages. And at "to the meadows I go... I'll be waiting for you!" I can't keep it together, no matter how many times I've heard it...
You should see the long, long interview Floor gave on the channel "The Charismatic Voice" on TH-cam recently. She told (among many other things) that the vocals were recorded and mixed in her home studio because she was six weeks post partum, could not travel, could not even stand for long without pain and had to feed her baby every two hours. So, they recorded it at her home, after every song, Floor would retreat, rest and feed the baby and then in the mean time the men would mix it together. And repeat the process.
There you are! Gone is the wait... thought you had ruined your first attempt to react! You know, with Andre's reputation for getting overcome by emotions when hearing Floor 😉
It was such a truth about the today´s music. There is so much trash that you have to be either lucky (blessed?) or you have to really dig to find something worthy of listening.
Una cancion que fue un verdadero calvario para Floor que lo tuvo que hacer en varias tomas ya que le era imposible contener sus lagrimas por lo que dudo que la canten en directo. Me gustaria que sacaran un sencillo de Lanternlight ya que seria un regalo perfecto para regalar en estas fechas.
Tuomas never fails to amaze us. Like you, I struggle to find the words that define the feel and emotions of what he brings to all of us. I can't imagine what goes on inside his head on a daily basis. He is grounded to the earth and his brilliance expands into the universe. We are the fortunate ones who are blessed to live in a time when we can hear his music. Couple Tuomas brilliance with the elegance and grace of Floor's vocals and perfection is only a note away.
This hits straight to your soul, l know. 🥺 If you wonder, who is the big-nosed white dressed clergyman at the end of the Kodak film. He is the pope Leo Xlll, the first filmed pope, and the first born filmed human (b. 1810, d. 1903)
Time for "The Weave", please use "Nightwish - Yesterwynde (OFFICIAL FULL ALBUM)" and select that song as there is no video of it. This will show clearly the qualities of Tuomas' writing: the text in the right column is the same as the text in the left column, but in the opposite direction! And the way Floor sings the last word "light" ....
Well, Tuomas did it again. Thanks. Btw. A song you always will love is the latest of EPICA - *_”Arcana”_* (Live at The Symphonic Synergy) The Netherlands 09/20/24 : th-cam.com/video/7xXPyAhHhXc/w-d-xo.html Note from the band: The time has come to write history once more. 15 years have passed since ‘The Classical Conspiracy’ and 10 years since we recorded another milestone in our career, ‘Retrospect’ - now, over a decade later, we are once again about to enter the stage with a full orchestra and choir. Under the title, ‘The Symphonic Synergy’, we will play two massive “Epica & Orchestra” shows. One in our home country, the Netherlands (09/20/24) and another one in our second home, Mexico (12/07/24). Finally, it is happening.
Perfect, just the reaction I was hoping for!
This song has the Finnish state of mind ❤ feels sad, but is full of happiness and gratitude.
in my 63 years this is my all time favorite song. it gets me every time
This is a celebration of a life well lived .. don't be sad .. with joy see your lost ones in nature .. and smile with memories. You see Floor with minimal makeup .. the lines in her face are simply beautiful.
Yes, i concur. Floor is so beauty❤❤( for Floor 😊😊)

The whole world should know that they have to vote for Floor and Nightwish for the Dutch Top 2000. Lantern Light MUST go in😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
I did , and I voted among others from Nightwish for Lanternlight.☄️
This beautiful song comforts me while dealing with the sudden death of my brother last August 😢 .

Tuomas : "Did you know that Lanternlight is actually a love song?" 🥰 Hi from Finland 😍
This song is beautiful and so stirring. Love your reaction, as always spot on. This is so special.

Love this song❤
Now you know the reason why you should react to it… ❤
And you are right - it’s written for you ❤
Floor just humming at the end....you can almost feel her hugging you....
I could listen to her oooh's and aaaah's like at the end here for hours. I just melt into it.
That was another nice reaction to this beautiful song. Nice detail at the end. The man in white is Pope Leo XIII. These are images from 1896, the first film images.
The definition of beautiful in all dictionaries should be be updated. Lanternlight is the true meaning of the word.
This is a true masterpiece. Gets me every time. Great reaction as always! ❤
Yes, so beautiful.
