I completely agree with what you've said: "You always feel like you're falling into some sort of a fairy tale with Nightwish." Thank you for another great reaction.

"Everything happens for a reason", I liked that. I have also heard several opinions, that the mix is not what it should be. I agree with you, in the sense that this was definitely the intention of the band.

Tuomas is a master composer! His musical scores evoke deep emotions, and his lyrics stimulate and challenge the mind. The songs are performed to perfection by this incredibly talented group. Nightwish is upper tier, without a doubt.

"Where the f are we?" - Inside Tuomas' head, obviously 😅

We are -because of a million loves - such sweet and deep lyrics.

Fasten your seatbelt when you jump on a Nightwish video. This is the beauty Tuomas meanth this song to be, if people just would listen to the music and the lyrics.

You said it , the song is totally great . Floor is singing inside a choir of a million anchesters .Greetings from nwAse Sweden

When we have a master mind genius making a masterpiece, gods in the instruments and a godess in vocals ,we have Nightwish.❤🤘🤘

With Floor, Tuomas is able to go in directions he couldn't go previously

thank you! you understand the wisdom of Nightwish!❤❤

Nightwish is music....goodlock for the mainstream

Nightwish is in a class of it's own. So it is not just the best music. It is beyond comparison. A lot of their songs should be shown at the start of each semester at universities. As an awareness process. "Who am I and what am I doing here?".

nature is metal nightwish's music and the visuals they are able to create and the messages they are able to convey have always intellectually stimulating

I ❤ THE TUOMAS MAGIC💥Thanks Highly

Often the best songs don't open up at first listen, and you have to listen to them several times. And this song really sounds better after several listens. I have listened to the song without watching the music video, which helps to focus on the song itself. I definitely recommend this. Thank you Tuomas and all of Nightwish for this true masterpiece!

I really appreciate that you recognize the genius of Tuomas. A lot of reactors think the mix is a mistake, well, the man is way to smart to make this kind of mistakes. So, thank you!

You got it right...Tuomas does music the way he sees it. There are no mistakes, it is always just mainly what he wants. He listens to the band members but at the end of the day, it is his inspiration. His music will be enjoyed after we all has passed. It is funny as many wants NW to be mixed like a pop song.

People complaining about the mix really proves what a high standard Nightwish brings. Plenty of worldwide hits have flat, garbage mixing and mastering these days and no one notices, but if a Nightwish song is a little 'off' its a 'bad'' song according to Nightwish fans. I think its still got great space in it, its just not in Floors vocals. Its catchy, emotional and epic, everything Nightwish should be.

Stunning Vocal, Stunning Visuals..Epic, a masterpiece..thank you so much.. I love this so much

I would think that by now we know Nightwish! We love this band like no other! So, we should not be surprised, but I for one am absolutely floored, mind blown 🤯 again! There has never been, there will never be another Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish with Floor!

Hi ! It´s time to new Nightwish ! As you said there is nothing wrong with Floor´s voice in here. Tuomas creates all of these 95%, and I´m sure he thinks Floor´s voice as an instrument in between the others. For me this is what I want to hear. When they, if they, as a band ever again will be out there on stages, Floor´s voice then will be much more powerful, in front of all, gently though. I can see that years has gone and you been doing well. Good. All the best to you there, and greets from Finland.

I second you, Highly! The first time I've listened to this track, me too was under the assumption that the mix was off. But Kai, the drummer, said that this was intentional, in the chorus Floor's voice was ment to be drowned into the choir parts, and that's excactly what we hear. As always, Great reaction my friend.

Personal opinion, if the vocal is higher in the mix then it overpowers the composition. I like the mix. I can hear Floor just fine.

Awesome video! But can’t wait to see this live.

This is another one from Tuomas that you have to listen to multiple times to get the full effect. At least I did and I think you are right. This video is exactly as Tuomas wanted it to be. The man is definitely a genius and I have to say that I was never into metal music of any kind and then about 6 years ago I stumbled on Nightwish and was immediately hooked and Floor had a great deal to do with that. But as I realized the genius behind the music I became even more of a fan. I listen to something from Nightwish every single day and I can't say that about any other musical group, even those that were, and still are favorites of mine.

Nightwish songs are an magnificent Opus.💥 Floor ❤️‍🔥😍

The first time I heard this track I too thought Floors voice was too low in the mix. But each time I listen to it my 68 year old hearing system (my ears) seem to pick out her voice more clearly. Tuomas is indeed a genius.

Musically, Tuomas never makes a mistake. Every note and word has a purpose! The Metal Mozart!🤘🎸This is another Nightwish masterpiece!🤘🎸Beauty to chaos, that’s life.

For me, it's really about listening to it multiple times. There's more to this song than you might think

Great reaction thanks for sharing :) greetings from Portugal 😎

It took some getting use to, but after seeing it a few times I think it's beautiful. Groetjes van a NW fan. 🤘🧡

You made my day! Always nice to see your reaction to Nightwish. I have been waiting for this one ❤ We are the essence of our ancestors 🙌🏻

100% agree...Tuomas has Floor's voice mixed exactly the way he wants it...her voice is mixed to be more of a contrasting instrument to all of the others. I am sure if played in a live setting her vocals would be more clear and discerning, but for this MV it is what he wanted....

🤗🍒🤘🏻 Great Job HXC again as always and welcome back

I LOVE IT!!! ❤

Finally some one said it,Tuomas know wht he doing with mix

I was amazed and loved it at first. However, it has grown to epic status. Many fans feel it is a shame to not have Floor out front with her amazing voice. It was planned as a part of the concept. I am sure there will be many songs with Floor out front in the mix.

Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often. Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️ Love Troy’s contribution at the end! Thanks for your reaction again ❤️

This song makes all the previous songs, how good an beautiful they are, look simple.

Enjoyed and liked your reaction 🤘🇫🇮

The mix the video and everything is perfect thanks for your reaction my friend and greetings from Chicago

nice.. and the song "grows on you" like every NW-song .. and the "low" voice was meant so because it was IN the chor (manny voices ..)

Love your reactions man! You stop the video when you have something important to say. I appreciate that. Your thoughts are deep.

Yes, as a matter of fact, the probability of one being born given all the generations of his/her ancestors is less than 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe.

And it coin down high😊

Great song, and great video!! The title of album Yesterwynde is actually a non exiting word that Troy came up with. Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its alittle over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost song right, telling all these ancestors is perfume around in a timeless world, being around you still, cant wait for rest of album!!

Did you hear the 4 notes (B minor-G minor, A minor-F minor) by the choir that are a RED thread threw the whole song, also in Floor's lines, strings and piano? 2:36 This is SO well composed and thought about. The owl's head spinning ANTI clockwise, going back in time. There are hundreds of symbols in this clip. The sea being the source of everything alive today, putting back human in the sea as their habitat (freedivers) The thousands of butterflies representing our ancestors, the beautiful lizard who dives in the water is also coming back several times, per example when Floor dives from the tree It's so tiny that you hardly notice it. The humpback wale skeleton with the diver and than the live humpback wales and sperm wales. It all refers to our ancestors and evolution. I can't wait to hear this song live. Wouldn't it be great to see them live for one time with the London Philharmonic Orchestra instead of a recording of the orchestra? Who knows....1 day Thanks, great reaction

Agreed brother! Folks are getting bent outta shape of the mix. I thought of vocals were weak also but then chorus kicks in with harmonies. It really makes sense with the story of paying homage to our ancestors. Which Tuomas’s genius song building. I think the listener just needs to understand and enjoy the music. The video alone is like no other. Then song with it goes to whole new level! Great reaction and glad y’all reactor’s including you have done the premier song! Long anticipated and back on the NW train 🤟

your eyes couldn't get bigger. haha.Floor was diving through her life falling on the next unwriten page..like everybody does

*Road to 10.000 Subs* aye, that early reactions...

Tuomas Holopainen metal Mozart

❤❤love it ❤❤

Mmmm Nice …. Love it…..❤❤❤❤❤

The problem, it seems, is way too many past fans are looking for a new version of "Once" and anything less is bad

I’m here.

👍👍😎😎🤘🤘 100%

Thanks for your reaction is great as always. Love the new song. Nightwish done it again. Magic. Only missing Marko and his great rock voice. Maybe they should ask Tommy Johansson to stand in. I bet he would do great.. keep up the good work

Tuomas pleases HIMSELF when he composes. A true artist can't bow to the wishes and worry about how some of their fans are going to feel about it.

I initially wondered about the mix, but I am now wondering if some uploads or replays are compressing or clipping the higher sound levels at times causing distortion for some playbacks when the volume is high in the music.

👍Nice one. Tuomas indeed,is a smart man and some say/think the mix is intentionally done like this to get us dive(no pun)deeper into this song. It sure is a song wich get's better ,for me,if you listen more to it but,it's a artistic choise and it's a great song and fantastic video,still would have like a bit more clarity on some vocal parts. It just is a personnel difference of opinion between a artistic or soundwise choise. Live ,i think this will be a banger.😉🤘

Please react to HIM- wicked game :)

Every reaction video I see it's clear that the good video is masking the weak song. A lot has been said about it, but the vocal mix is ​​really terrible. "That's the way it should be," say a number of people, well if that's the way it should be you are no good as a producer. This way you seriously disappoint a strong vocalist like Floor Jansen. Then the song itself, Nightwish ripples on on the old, existing same thing as if there is no more inspiration. This song is a kind of compilation with all kinds of things that have already been done.

Sorry but too much you trying to be a comedian.
