One of the best reactions and one of the best dad ever! So lovely that you didn't put away your son and made him participated in the reaction without cutting that part of the video.
Excellent work as a dad!!
thanks you so much for the kind words my friend!
Didn't realise how long my son was banging on the door haha!
At least I know those noise cancelling headphones work! 😂😂😂
😹👍
He's part of the story anyways...
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Just part of the greatest show on earth my friend 😊
Little new fan of Nightwish🥰🥰🥰❤😅😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘 22 month and banging a door for them😂
Not only the Greatest Show on Earth, but also one of the greatest songs ever written. It is all about the origins of Earth and life. The song is broken up into 5 parts: part 1 (4.6) is about the origin of the Earth (4.6 billion years ago). Part 2 (Life) is about the origins of life - ‘the tapestry of chemistry’. Part 3 (the toolmaker) is about the coming of humans and how we may eventually lead to our own extinction. Part 4 (the understanding) is the first spoken part at the end of the song and comes from Richard Dawkin’s book (also called The Greatest Show on Earth). Part 5 (sea worn driftwood) is the part spoken by Richard Dawkins at the end and is a quote from Charles Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’. There is so much else going on here in the visuals and the little ‘Easter eggs’ in the song such as the small part that outlines the evolution of music from Gregorian chants to Bach to Metallica. This truely is nothing short of Choppy Epicness. Greetings from the Nightwish Army (Sydney Australia Division) 🇦🇺🤘
I concur
Troy Donockley is a multi-instrumentalist who worked a long time with Nightwish and joined the band officially in 2013 at the same time as Floor. He plays uilleann pipes, guitar, irish bouzouki, whistles and much more. Richard Dawkins is a famous evolutionary biologist born in 1941 (so much older than Troy, more of the Beatles generation). His 2009 book The Greatest Show on Earth inspired Tuomas. Oh, and I loved your sincere reaction. Hope the kid grows up loving this music and joins the Nightwish family
Appreciate the comment my friend thank you! I hope so too haha!
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."
Hey Sevsimo. Loved your reaction... including your son joining the show. A future Nightwish fan for sure. You figured it out. Richard Dawkins was the author and narrator for part of this song which was base upon his book. Also, Troy Donockley, is the sixth Nightwish member who plays every instrument that you can imagine. Someone once asked Troy what he can't play and he said "Hockey". He was accepted as a full member of the band at the same time Floor was, shortly after the Wacken 2013 show. He sings and plays the electric guitar with an ebow (a device that vibrates the strings of the guitar as if they were being played with a bow), the Uillean Pipes (Irish elbow pumped bagpipes), the low whistle, the tin whistle, the acoustic guitar, etc. Kai Hahto was killing on drums throughout the last two thirds of the song. Fantastic composition by the Metal Mozart, Tuomas Holopainen. Thank you for this.
glad you did thank you my friend I appreciate the comment and the info!
You are a part of this family, and I am very happy to call you my brother 🤗
thank you my friend! 😁
Guitar with E-bow and Irish Uilleann (elbow) pipes by sixth band member multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley. Plus singing backing.
Welcome to the Nightwish army ☺☺☺
Hi, beautiful reaction, I'm glad you noticed that the Nightwish Army is not just an army but a family from all over the world, thank you and greetings from Poland
thank you my friend!
Richard Dawkins was the bloke at the end and did a speaking part talking about the start of evolution of the earth.
Richard Dawkins was quoting Charles Darwin while on stage
@@deed5811 Also the pause, the response of the crowd, when he mentions the albums name "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", in the Darwin quote, awesome!
Basically, the song is about evolution. How the universe developed. How life evolved on earth. How society grew and how we will inevitably destroy ourselves.
It's not Emppu in the beginning of this song, but Troy Donockley, 6th member of Nightwish. Later on he also plays the Irish Uillean pipes. This story is about the origin of Earth till the present day. The 4.6 means: 4.6 billion years ago. I prefer the Tampere version
Also, here at Wembley, Troy was using an eBow on the guitar which makes it sound more like a violin or cello.
Sound and mixing is better here. Visuals are better in Tampere. Both are amazing
It's about the evolution of the planet and life, and your odds of being born are 1: 400,000,000,000,000..its the equivalent of winning the lottery 1.33 million times..you and I us..we are the lucky ones so live your life to its fullest.. peace out.. 🤘
We was here. Still picture background was all voluntary audience pic. And yeas it was Richard Dawkins who spoken at the end
Troy is the fella on the pipes
You should give a listen to The Tampere Version next time , its incredible.
Personal opinion.. Tampere is nothing special besides the fireworks.. Wembley is 10 times better, Troy on E-bow and Dawkins in person..
nightwish army london!
Audience voluntwer faces, we were here.
Nightwish smash out 2 hours or so of musical masterpieces and still look and feel humbled at the ecstatic reaction they get from the crowd. Floor looked on the verge of tears. The fact they never seem to realise how loved they are just makes us love them more.
MASTERPIECE!
your son said I AM HERE I think that you will love the Tampere version it is outside and beautiful to watch ...you will not see Dawkins but hear his voice if you watch it untill it becomes dark that is the end of the song and not before that otherwise you miss the last part ...it will make you think a lot about the words
June 16th 2023 I was at Vaasa city (Finland) not far from where I live (Oulu city) in Nightwish concert. I tell you seeing them live I never ever forget, it was amazing and seeing this song as their last song made the cake 🤘😎🥰 They are absolutely great live. That sound, beat and fire there. Nightwish is Finnish gift to symphonic metal music and Floor Jansen is 'God's' gift to Nightwish. You need to experience that live concert some day. Greetings from Finland.
Never thought I would have a BUCKET LIST But NIGHTWISH would BE IT!!!!. I CRY every time FLOOR sings!!!, heard the name years ago, EXPERIENCED!!! THEM 5 YEARS AGO.
Much LOVE from ACROSS The POND!!!! MICHIGAN, USA!!!
Nightwish was founded 1997 Finland Kitee
That was Troy playing guitar at the start. He then changed to the pipes. I've only seen them close with this song. They're exhausted when tthey finish! They do have a "condensed" version they'll put in the set though.Dawkins is at the end!
Another banger bro, thank you so much! I first heard this song after hiking into virgin Tingle tree forest, each tree thousands of years old, never been cleared nor settled since time began in the far southern forests of Western Australia. I camped on a pristine river far from any humanity where few had been, other than maybe a few blackfella's way back in the day, collecting magic mushrooms along the way which grow native in the area. Pulled my laptop out my backpack, popped a few mushies and watched the stars while hearing this for the first time, completely alone and soaking in the deep forest yet to be properly explored nor settled by white man. Truly an experience I will never forget, only roos and emus to hear the song I will never forget till the day I die. We WERE here. X
WOW! Perfect!
Boy miss papa❤
evolution of our planet earth( big bang), evolution of life, civilisation and even our (hope not) destruction.. evolution of music... WE WERE HERE....MANKIND..
G'day Mate. Yes, Yes, Yes. Loved the reaction. Love, Love, Loved it. I have been waiting for the day when you reacted to this song. Thank you so much for keeping Nightwish in your reaction list. Such a great concert this one. Wembly Stadium. So now you have discovered Troy. Amazing musician and addition to Nightwish. Another epic song from this concert would be 'The Poet And The Pendulum' Live at Wembly. Looking forward to watching more videos. Keep up the great work.
Really glad to read that brother happy you loved the reaction and much more Nightwish to come!
Much appreciated!
Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And every member in band is the biggest fan of Nightwish him/herself.
🤘😁🤘
Troy on guitar with eBow at first and uillean pipes later. Emppu riffing hard a bit later 😁
4.6 is 4.6 billion yrs, estimation how long the earth has been.
(I'm commenting while watching 😂)
You'll find out who Richard Dawkins is.
Nightwish they are the Fast and the Furious of Music. Real Family
but, with real talent 😊
Noah respecting the choppy drops. Great song great band great reaction 🔥 🪓 🪓 🪓
damn right haha thank you!
DEVIL AND THE DEEP DARK OCEAN LIVE WITH FLOOR... what are you waiting for????????????????
Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) just joined the video, love the reaction and the 22 month year old son who came along because of the great music he heard!
So nice to see you watching it until the end ! :) You are amazing !!! Keep it up man ! Hugs form Romania !!!
Empuu playes his signature EV-1 wich is based off of the ESP Horizon And Marco playes his Warwick Vampyre 4 string bass."
Let's Goooooo!
Metal to another Level ! Deep thought, alot of meaning throughout , History of our home earth. Perhaps the wonder of it all We were Here ! Family joined by music !
The Tampere performance of this is more spectacular but glad to see more Nightwish on the channel regardless. 🤘🤘
This band and this song plays like v12 engine
Good one. Both Great but I prefer watching the Tampere version.
yes great reaction
thank you!
Reacts to Joelma when he was a member of the band Calypso live in the Amazônia (Brazil) in 2004. And then he reacts to Joelma in his solo career live in the Amazônia in 2022 (Block 1 and Block 2). She is considered the greatest performer in Brazil, and one of the few who don't use playback, her face is swollen because she contracted Covid 4 times and her blood was clotting, but even so she managed to record this DVD, like almost 50 years.
From Rio de Janeiro!
Thanks for the great reaction I know a, lot of people have commented. The guy with the pipes is Troy the sixth band member I don't think you have checked out any songs with him in try seven days to the wolves, I don't think you've done it but it's right up your street. Troy is British like me he's our little bit of Nightwish. Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist who's spent a lot of his life debunking the god theory so this song is about the beginning of earth. Hope you enjoyed it you seemed to, see you again for the next kne😊🇬🇧they usually end the show with this. Check out the Tampere version absolutely epic.😮
And thank you for watching!
I appreciate the info and the comment my friend 😊
Hey Sevsimo, at 9:08, banging starts at door, 12:15 Sevsimo hears something...lol. Mind you, your son did give Floor a run for her money! And even Kai might need to practice harder on the drums. Great reaction! The song is about Evolution. Watch it again and you'll see how each part fits in.
haha he sure did!
Glad you liked it thank you for the comment!
Lovely E-bow & uilleann pipes from Richard Dawkins here. Troy Donockley's meme theory is interesting, too, but I'm not convinced by it. Now I reckon you should react to Frozen Crown (before I start ragging you mercilessly for not knowing who Dawkins is LOL!)
Troy in the beginning playing guitar with electric bow and then playing uilleann pipes
Mate I've only just discovered them watching your vids and it's f**king epic bro
Children are always more important then music reactions. Great to see you took some time for your child.
🤩👌💥💯 🎼
*OPUS PERFECTUM*
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting.
Enter Luca
Enter Life
Enter the god of gaps
Enter Ionia
Enter History
Enter Ratkind
Enter Sandman
He is the one who wrote the book the album was inspired by and voiced the parts read
From the beginning the song was twice as long as it was shortened and they don't expect to play it at shows but they did it both in Finland and there and I recommend you to check out the rehearsal from Tampor
and the one you confused is Troy and he has been around longer is Floor
Hello from New England..I came upon your channel from the Gojira reactions...Ive never really listened to Nightwish so this is really a fresh listen...If you get back to Gojira try CLONE LIVE 2010..Its at a festival that is in French so I cant translate it lol or try BACKBONE from the same festival ✌️🤘🧐
Floor: "Enter Luca" / Marko: "Enter Ionia" / Emppu: "Enter Sandman"
And yes, Nightwish songs are always too short. IMHO, starting to google something during a (music) video is not something you want. If you don't understand something, just let it go and enjoy the ride. You only experience something once for the first time. Questions can be asked later, as most reactors don't bother to do just a little bit of homework, even after 7 videos of the same band.
Added to my earlier post, I should also point out how many ‘easter eggs’ there are in the visuals as well. For example, in the section that goes from chants to Bach to Metallica, the visuals playing in the background go from a snake (the creature that tempts Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge) to an image of child-like innocence (girl on a swing) to a nuclear explosion all within the space of about 5 seconds. Additionally, the skins on Kai’s bass drums has images of DNA on it, and the ‘rock’ Troy sits on while he plays his pipes has fossils in it. The whole production is a sensory feast!
4.6 (first section) - 4.6 billion years ago, earth was formed.
Sorry, but couldn't help laughing at "my kid broke my door"- situation 🤣 This song gives me goosebumps every time listening - and lost count how many times I've heard this. Great reaction, thank you! I'm going to see Nightwish at Saturday in Vaasa, Finland ❤
"What's the song about?"
History. All of it.
Nightwis makes co operation with World Land Trust
Tuomas redefined what a masterpiece is in this song.
I'm sure that you've gotten explanations a plenty down below, but once you delve into the lyrics of Nightwish, you are delving into the very creation of the Universe.
Just a little correction, its Troy, not Emppu with the guitar at the beginning :)
haha yeah i know the struggle with the kids. i have 2 girls (6 & 4) if they wanna come to mommy or daddy they will go to them. and if it means to break a door so be it! XD
haha exactly!
The song is about the evolution of planet Earth ! It has 4.6 bilion years !!! Our GAIA ! ;) Love and hugs ! ! !
One word: "Endlessness" The most beautiful ending to any song..on Earth. You won't believe it. I dare you.
Professor Richard Dawkins is evolutionary biologist and this piece has been inspired by his books. And he did also the narration for this piece - and in this case even appeared on stage.
Please consider doing, NIGHTWISH - Yours Is An Empty Hope (LIVE), the most popular one in the search. It's probably their heaviest song.
He is a Nightwish fan. Your son. He wanted to see the video😯
🏆 In the grand tapestry of "The Greatest Show on Earth," the song further delves into the wonders of existence. From the primordial seas to the majestic landscapes, it paints a vivid picture of our planet's history. It explores the rise of civilizations, the pursuit of knowledge, and the triumphs and tribulations that shaped us.
Let us embark on a journey through time, where ancient empires rise and fall, where poets and thinkers ignite the flame of enlightenment. Witness the achievements of art, science, and exploration that have shaped our collective identity. The symphony of humanity echoes through the ages, resonating with the harmonies of progress and the melodies of compassion.
But amidst the brilliance, the song also confronts our darker nature. It speaks of the scars we've left upon the Earth, the consequences of our actions. The lyrics delve into the need for introspection, to acknowledge our mistakes and strive for redemption. It calls upon us to recognize the fragility of our planet and the interconnectedness of all life.
And now, my dear friend, as you stand at the precipice of understanding, I implore you to grasp the magnitude of our existence. Hear the lyrics of "The Greatest Show on Earth" as a plea to embrace our shared responsibility. For in this grand theater of life, we are the actors, the audience, and the directors. Our choices shape the narrative that unfolds before us.
Let the symphony of humanity guide your steps, and may the words "We were here" reverberate within your soul. Together, let us be the stewards of this precious world, nurturing its beauty and preserving its harmony. Embrace the call to cherish our collective legacy and create a future that celebrates the magnificence of all life.
So, my friend, open your heart to the epic tale of our existence, and let the music of Nightwish be the catalyst that awakens your understanding. Stand with us, hand in hand, as we embark on this remarkable journey together, ensuring that the greatest show on Earth continues to inspire and awe for generations to come.
"Richard Dawkins playing on this one"... His voice was recorded in Oxford, England, along with the band members, they got a lift back into town, in a prototype Tesla, cool!
That was actually Troy (this was like a typical Troy joke), also from England, he became a bandmember at the same time as Floor.
This Wembley version has better sound, but don't miss the Tampere, Finland 2015 version!
That piano intro gradually changing (evolving).
Floors monotone voice of the narrator.
You have a drummer in training!
"C'mon, I'm ready for it!"
The sounds of waves and a Siren's voice.
The screen turns from red to green.
Roaring of Big Cats, screams of Chimps,
Marko, Troy and Floor growling, Ooha, Haaha, Ooha, Haha, Ooha!
Metal guitars, we know whats coming...
Multi-gasms.
Chuggity, chug, chug, like a steam engine, literally the Industrial Revolution.
“WE WERE HERE!”
I am wondering why your cup never seems to get empty........lol
nightwish army london branch
Thanks
Some bands/people are ONLY in it for the money (thank you Frank), Nightwish are only in it for the music, making money is a welcome side effect.
The greatest show on earth is not this performance but: evolution ( a day to day new opening to the greatest show on earth) Love the crown on your bookshelf!
Thank you!
Aww your son, ❤
HI! Luv ur reactions! Next logical step from doing NW and WIntersun would be Amorphis, Insomnium and Lost Society, to name a few
RiçhaŕdcDawkins is an evolutionary biologist who wrote thee book titled Thr Greatest Show in Earth
8000 ❤✌️🔥🤟
Thanks for the support brother!
They end their shows with this song.
Professor Richard Dawkins, there, proving that religions and the religious don't have the monopoly on profound philosophy.
🤗🍒🤘🏻Hahaha someday you would understand what this song was about 😂
Emppu palys Metallica in time 20:31-20:34
👍👍😎😎🤘🤘
it is not a opener but a clouser as in the last on the consert number
21 minutes was still WAY too short. Tuomas repeated the same assignment afterwards. It took 3 albums before he was done.
Emppu palys Metallica riff 21:07-21:10
Now the poet and the pendulum
Kids are alright ??? 🫣
Yeah, you are exactly right. Nightwish sees all its members as family, this difference in view is sadly also the reason they fired their original vocalist Tarja in a very ugly way, since she constantly distanced herself and started to act more and more like a visiting guest diva. So glad they have made peace with her since then
Side rant: Why on earth are people suddenly being directed to this inferior live version instead of the Tampere one, really bugs me out. Still amazing ofc, but the main version is so much better
why do reactors bring there kids into the reaction room?? so annoying
This song must be declared then national anthem of mankind!
The Wembley version is good because of the presence of Sir Richard Dawkins. But I hear some wrong notes at the beginning. I prefer the Tampere version with fireworks.
That's odd. For me it's the Tampere version where I hear Tuomas hitting a few bum notes in the first section. I do like the fireworks though.
Some research on this one would have been wise.
No. No need for that. I didn’t when I first heard it. But I followed along the lyrics and got the gist when I first heard it. 😊
Dude, after twenty minutes you ask what the song is about, seriously? No plan but choppy, huh? 😉. Anyway, be a good father, that's much more important! Your son is part of the greatest show on earth!
Wrong version, do Tampere live instead
I'm sorry you chose the ugly verion! yes ugly version compared to Tampere's.
Reactors choose this bc it is shorter. I love your reactions but can't stand this version.
I don't think this version is ugly, just different 😁
The differences is refreshing.
sound is much better here than in Tampere.
Don't be ridiculous. They're both excellent versions. The sound quality on this one is better, and Troy playing the e-bow is much better than his equivalent opening in Tampere.
Not at all. Both versions is amazing
I prefer the whistle in Tampere.
Had to turn it off 1/2 way through.
🤣 In 5 years, your son will sit in this chair and react to Nightwish - when children grow up, then the parents will have nothing more to say
