As mentioned before, this is for and about Eugene Shoemaker. He was a planetary scientist and was a candidate for an Apollo mission until he was found to have Addison's disease. He died in the 1990s and his ashes were interred on the moon in the crater that was named for him. The urn containing his remains bears that quote from Shakespeare. Also, Laudato si = Praise be Ad astra = to the stars Thanks again and please keep rocking 😎
Fun Floor story: back in 2014, Floor led a vocal masterclass at a college in London. I was fortunate enough to be there. I was very much a beginner and listening to her made me realise, for the first time, how much hard work professionals put into singing. Songs like this, which require a lot of technique, make me think about her lessons again, and how many decisions she must make while singing. The lady WORKS. I'd always thought singing was something effortless, but I left that class and signed right up for classical lessons. Also, she did a q&a at the end and I still wish I'd asked her how she headbangs like that and keeps her ear piece in!
@@ChristinaValkyrie : Not just Ad Astra -- but whole Nature side of the album. Tuomas succeeds with that whole shebang that I don't think even he realizes how epic, and history-altering, it really is.
Floor said that she trained for about six weeks to get her voice ready for this piece. The first time I heard it I became breathless. My face grew wet, and I wished that the song might never end.
You: Can't sneak anything by me! Floor: Hold my horses carrot. *Floor goes full on Opera like you've never heard her before* I challenge anyone to find a more beautiful sound on the planet
I would alter that slightly: "MRR.exe has stopped working. Would you like to close the program, or wait for the process to resume?" Buttons: WAIT / CLOSE PROGRAM
Just wondering, have anyone ever heard you scream when reacting to Nightwish? 😂 can just imagine your neighbours passing by and just "omg do we need to call the police" and you having to explain that you just cant handle Floors voice 😂🤘 The last part of this song, Floor can you nooooot. Its too much 😭 truly enjoyed your reaction as always, good luck with pan!
There are guys who are sophisticated music experts. And then there is YOU. LIVING the music. It is such a great pleasure to see someone react on a totally emotional basis. I really love that. Please go on like this. 🤘
UnstoppaPaul i read in an interview the same thing but i really think it will depend by a couple of things such as response of the fans and if they will release it as a single. But good idea, let’s start the petition 😉
It's a really complex song, i'm glad you like'd it - one of my favourites. Troy's harmonies are great on this. The story of the song is about Eugene Shoemaker who was an American geologist and one of the founders of the field of planetary science. He's list of contribution to the world of science is notable, but the main thing to focus here is that some of he's ashes were carried to the moon in 1999 and that quotation which was read by wife of Tuomas ( Johanna Kurkela ) is inscribed to his memorial capsule. He always wanted to be an astronaut, but couldn't because he had an addison's disease. He died 1997 in a car crash.
Thuomas is a genius on how he can just change those tempos and keep the feeling of the song going and Floor is just again so AMAZING!!! Not surprised to see you hit the ground. This is mind blowing!
Mr Rock and Roll: "I knew this was coming! You can't sneak anything by me." All of us who have heard Shoemaker: "Oooooh, Tuomas and Floor are about to. . ."
I wasn't sure if he was saying that that was Empuu singing, or if he was taking a wild guess that Empuu was about to come in with a riff that he's wanting to hear.
Oof, no matter how many times I listen to this song, I cry like a little freakin' bitch. How, HOW 😅 Floor's pipes and way of delivering the end part slays my soul man, I'm telling youuu. Damn. 🖤
This album is brilliant. EVERY song on disk 1 is freakin good. There's enough there in each song for you to find something new each listen at the moment. "Live"......these songs will reach even another level. Its not "old" Nightwish which if people are real then they'd realize Nightwish has never been old.
As an opera singer, Floor just...dammit, she cuts onions every time! 😭😭😭 She has a way of getting to me few singers and/or composers do. Because she does -- along with the Maestro himself, Mr. Tuomas Holopainen -- they both remind me I'm still human. Especially when I think I've got nothing left to feel, emotionally.
One of the most awaited videos on youtube. Don't know how you will get through this album. Tribal next and I think you will hit much harder that chair... :)
At the end they should add the voice of God " It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.”
A pleasure to watch and listen to you react Sir. Floored again 🤣There should be a reaction channel dedicated only to your wonderful reactions. Thank you Sir.
I enjoy so much !!! You have to admit that this time Nightwish gave us a different concept... Different composing style and songs that need alot of "homework" to understand the lyrics....
The last couple minutes of that song always gives me chills. The last chorus bit sung, the narration from Romeo & Juliet, and the opera at the end - especially when the Earth sets beneath the Moon's horizon Just beautiful in every way. I have to say the video actually kind of helps that too, just like in Endlessness coming up later - the video coupled with the music gives me chills.
The story behind this song is incredible that shakespear quote is on a plaque along with his ashes on the moon. He was a famous astronomer and geologist and a candidate for the moon landing but had health problems so couldn't later when he died tragically they landed his ashes on the moon
Ow boy...🤣 the best song ever! If you only knew what is comming.... 🤘 Music was for me the perfect way to start this cd! Emppu is killing it with his sound and Kai is finally let loose on this album. The Laudato Si part oh well 💕😎 😁 The best song ever...🤔...that seems logical...now, but Pan and Tribal hmm Curious indeed! 🎸🥁 Thnx...🖐
This entire album is just Toumas showing us all again, how amazing he is, how he knows how to use the different talents in Nightwish and how to combine it all into amazing music. I really love this album and I cant wait to see you reacting to Tribal, it is one of my favorites... Just remember to hold onto something this album is a journey in headbanging and beauty. I envy you a bit, you have had just a single year of knowing Nightwish and you have barely scratched the surface of how wonderful and diverse their music truly is. Enjoy the journey with us and I cant wait to see more.
@4:37 That is the sound og genuine excitement! 😆 And the way the punched your chair in the litterally made me laugh out loud 😂 Also, I love the way you just go Joakim Broden style and start hammering your knee, when you don't know what to do with yourself. 😆🤣

Makes his name appropriate

Also,
Laudato si = Praise be
Ad astra = to the stars
Thanks again and please keep rocking 😎
And melody from Zbigniew Preisner - Lacrimosa from 6:29 part of
Requiem for my friend
*Ad astra...darn auto-correct!
Ponderdeep Corrected thanks!
Jeff Hollenbeck
thanks for the info ;)
Actually its latin, and verbs in latin are silent, so the meaning would be all praise be given to the stars :)
"Why....am i exist?"
I ask myself that every day lol
yes just yes
we exist to impact eachothers lives
She broke him, she broke him again people! Somebody come collect Mr. Rock'n'roll, Floor did it again :D
Somebody come collect Mr.Rock'n'roll off the floor :D
Damn right hahahaha 😂🔥
He thought Floorgasms couldn't get any better, but...nope...lol...
So on point! LOL. He does need some help here
Oh not again! Last time it was one hell of a mess.
I actually stopped midway a video of someone else reacting to romanticide because I was so pumped to see you react to this one!
Anaïs W. Well this just made my day!
Me too. Mr Rock and Roll, You are the best. Floor say that this song (and Music to) was one of the bigest challenge on this album. Stay safe.
Second this. Was looking forward to this video the moment I heard the song 😂 10/10 didn't disappont.
@Just Had A Floorgasm because you can hear.And what you are hearing is floor microwaveing your brain.It's so good it hurts but in a good way.
Come on bro.. we can't wait for it.. hahaha

Yes, and all that work is with the goal of making it SOUND effortless!
Floor's Laudato si, ad astra part at the end might just be my favourite thing NW has ever done. Just so beautiful.
Mr Rock and Roll: “This is my favourite song”
Me: Just wait till ya hear Pan and Tribal! (Those are my personal favourites)
I love Music and the acoustic version of How's the Heart.
Same! And Ad Astra too!
@@ChristinaValkyrie : Not just Ad Astra -- but whole Nature side of the album. Tuomas succeeds with that whole shebang that I don't think even he realizes how epic, and history-altering, it really is.
@@isaiahwelch8066 Yeah, i can't really argue with that!
Manveru31 listen to it a few more times and then u’ll see! And try not to break ur neck while head banging 😁
Floor said that she trained for about six weeks to get her voice ready for this piece.
The first time I heard it I became breathless. My face grew wet, and I wished that the song might never end.
This is beyond goosebumps - it's a Floorgasm in your very soul. Another matchless masterpiece from Tuomas and Floor.
You: Can't sneak anything by me!
Floor: Hold my horses carrot.
*Floor goes full on Opera like you've never heard her before*
I challenge anyone to find a more beautiful sound on the planet
Hold my horses carrot🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm dying 🤣
Dunno, heard her do it before haha. Listen to her in After Forever, on the song Dreamflight ;)
Maci Vovk I don't get it
@@mikebarnes7441 Floor has horses!
Jilhoa1 that was amazing but I think this is even more operatic here than anything from After Forever!😍
That woman narrating Shakespeare is Tuomas wife😭💕

Imagine this guy in a china shop when Nightwish starts playing.
ahhahaha
He would become the literal "bull," lol! 😂😂😂
@@isaiahwelch8066 *figurative
Compulsive behaviour? 🤔😂
You should see his reaction to The Hu's Wolf Totem.
the look on your face and the way you said "is that Floor?" was just priceless.
"Why... am I exist?" MRR.EXE has stopped working.
lol
I would alter that slightly:
"MRR.exe has stopped working. Would you like to close the program, or wait for the process to resume?" Buttons: WAIT / CLOSE PROGRAM
Nobody has more fun listening to Nightwish than you!

Can’t wait till you hear Tribal that one is my favorite
x2
Irk, I got a little disappointed when I saw a few reactors hating on the skeleton part, it was my favorite 😅👉👈
@@overdosedmiawallace i agree, its humor. it made me laugh the first time i saw them lol
I think he might actually pass out
@@overdosedmiawallace I totally agree, who cannot like that dance? I'm completely sure I am gonna dance it at the concert
I cant wait to see your feelings when you listen How's your heart! Keep rocking!
Now imagine Floor singing this LIVE 😍
sadly there a big risk they won't due to the technical (singing) challenge of the piece. It needs a million nightwish fans to demand it to be heard :D
It needs to be heard live, Shoemaker Live at Wembley 2020 will be a historic moment ever
UnstoppaPaul i read in an interview the same thing but i really think it will depend by a couple of things such as response of the fans and if they will release it as a single. But good idea, let’s start the petition 😉
Andrew Wheeler it will be another wacken 2013 🤘🏽
Let’s Get ríd of this corona thingy and let’s hope to see them live soon!
Tuomas said on interview on RadioRock Finland that this will not be heard live ☹️

Floor really showed what she is capable of this time around.
Mr Rock and Roll: "I knew this was coming! You can't sneak anything by me."
All of us who have heard Shoemaker: "Oooooh, Tuomas and Floor are about to. . ."
by the way, the guy's vocals are Troy, not Emppu (regarding 4:00 )
the legend herself.. Denise Hofs
Troy.. Emppu.. both look like dwarfs next to Floor..
I wasn't sure if he was saying that that was Empuu singing, or if he was taking a wild guess that Empuu was about to come in with a riff that he's wanting to hear.
Emppu? In any case Marko.
Yes, because Emppu essentially never speaks a single word (he doesn't need words to be cool)
You're going to love "PAN" my dude. There's no shortage of heavy riffs and insane vocal melodies.
"Why am I exist?" -Best quote ever. LMAO
Don't do tribal or you're end up breaking something in your room
my thoughts exactly lol, can't wait to see what happens!
Easy call for me. The greatest female vocalist on the planet.
Well, dude, time for a real headbanger: Pan!
Tribal too ...that dance is golden or ...should I rather say...crimson? :-p
@@vlad-ovidiuadam6489 if he gets to do Tribal he will destroy his home :)
And the moment we've all been waiting for... 6:29
An awesome tribute to the late and respected Mr Eugene Shoemaker, thank you Tuomas and Nightwish
pretty much my reaction.... goosebumbs, headbanging, crying over the final part. there are just no words for this incredible ode to the stars! :)
The best reaction ever¡¡¡
I was waiting for this reaction! 👏👏👏 The best Mr Rock'n roll
Is that Floor? Asking the question is answering it.
Oof, no matter how many times I listen to this song, I cry like a little freakin' bitch. How, HOW 😅 Floor's pipes and way of delivering the end part slays my soul man, I'm telling youuu. Damn. 🖤

One of the most awaited videos on youtube. Don't know how you will get through this album. Tribal next and I think you will hit much harder that chair... :)
I'm actually already quite worried for his poor chair when he gets to Pan at the latest (if the chair and MRR himself survive Tribal, it is) :D
I just died and came back to live and when floor sing i died again breathtaking
"Why am I exist?" : the best verbalization of what it feels like to experience this song.
Yeah! That's right. I felt the same. Out of this world. That voice...
Incredible song. Wowwwwwwwww. Shakespear!!!! Floor!!!!!! Nightwish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love yot reaction.
You are great, Nightwish is great and our Floor is greater than great !!!!!
I love the way you react to music, so deep and honest, stay healthy, man and keep rocking
At the end they should add the voice of God " It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.”
I've been hitting the refresh button over and over. When is it gonna come? When? And you didn't dissapoint. 😂
Awesome!
And so is Nightwish. Love it.
That last bit. Wow. Serious chills.
A pleasure to watch and listen to you react Sir. Floored again 🤣There should be a reaction channel dedicated only to your wonderful reactions. Thank you Sir.
Dude, what a great reaction. The reaction is almost as epic as the song!
Not sure you can get a better one line review of something than “Why am I exist?” Lol probably my favorite reaction you have done so far.
You have no idea how happy I am that you have found Nightwish, and this album is simply mindblowing
When they do this in public, folks are gonna go bat poop crazy.
Dude, you represent us all hahahaha
Now that's what I call a reaction! Love that ❤
He survived "Shoemaker". But just barely 😂😂😂
I thought he swallowed that mic for a sec 😂
You are a pleasure to watch, my friend!! Love this song too!
Glad were were able to make a Nightwish fan out of you. Welcome! (:
Your reactions to Nightwish are priceless.
This is brilliant, but Tribal is going to melt your face. As an experience, this song, but for face melting, Tribal.
I enjoy so much !!!
You have to admit that this time Nightwish gave us a different concept... Different composing style and songs that need alot of "homework" to understand the lyrics....

Great Reaction Mr Rock n Roll. You will find that the whole album is great, but I’m not sure you will survive it. Lol.
MissDragonfly800 direct red line to traumateam ;)
6:28 the moment I've been waiting for... 😀
Oh man!!! When your face fell on the microphone you totally cracked me! Haha!!!! I feel the same!!!
Can't get enough of that ending.
The story behind this song is incredible that shakespear quote is on a plaque along with his ashes on the moon.
He was a famous astronomer and geologist and a candidate for the moon landing but had health problems so couldn't later when he died tragically they landed his ashes on the moon
I love your reactions so much. You react, not analyse. Lots of emotions. Loving it!
The mystery voice on the Shakespeare quote is Mrs Holopainen, aka Johanna Kurkela of Auri.
I love her singing -- especially on the "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". Particularly Last Sled to Dawson.
Fortuna faveat fortibus!
This song shows the genius of Tuomas and the incredible talent of the band.
dude you should listen to After Forever (floors ex band) she is realy rocking there too. BTW Tuomas making music history in this album.
The mythical beast of Rock and Roll does it again! Great reaction 💪❤️
The Nightwish Train keeps on a-rolling! Looking forward to your reactions to the rest of the album, but especially Endlessness.
Omg...i have the same reaction on this song...you rock
That hay maker chair punch! Loved it
Love your reaction (as always! :-) !)
Ow boy...🤣 the best song ever! If you only knew what is comming.... 🤘

Beautiful song... And the last part....sounds a lot like Vangelis love it!!!
I was supposed to go to sleep for work, but then I noticed you uploaded this, and so I said "One more..." and I clicked on it. Awesome as always.
That should have been the last song on Human.
What an epic ending!
