bon jour ! and thats all for my french, lol i loved every second of your reaction and explanation of this masterpiece, i copied some of our Nightwish discord that might be interesting for you it is about Floor singing techniques used in this album and especially in this song Music.... quote... Some of you may ve heard that it is called Melisma, a technique of singing the lines of a song using various notes that go up and down. The word 'melisma' is greek and it caught my attention and did a little research. This technique had been used in the recitation of the 2 Homeric epic poem sagas, Iliad and Odyssey with the accompany of a harp. It was a beautiful and mesmorizing way to sing these poems in order to catch the attention of the audience and embrace the human voice. One of the first ways of 'modern' human singing almost 3.000 years ago. quote ending..... i subbed you pls stay safe in these crazy times, greetings from a dutch cheesehead living in Germany, member of the (peacefull) nightwish army, orange legion..... i think the song how is the heart of this album (it was written also for Floor of being a mother and a singer and how she met her husband, and how she is managing that double role) thx for the subtitles.... by the way when you come to the song how is the heart..... there is also an acoustic version of how is the heart.... you will love it.... c est magnifique...

What an intelligent, Human reaction with profound love for the music. I will be here again!

A masterful analysis of a masterpiece.

A reactor whose channel goes by the name "Patrol Gaming" also came up with a detailed analysis. However, he picked up on something that we have all missed. Some of us danced around the edges of this, but the penny didn't really drop for us. This song is sung from the perspective of music as a sentient being, giving herself to us. That is the real brilliance of this piece. Floor is singing as the entity "Music".

Merci -very informative and well thought out - it is a pleasure to follow your journey through this magnificent Album

Peace and Good. May our Father Francis give you his blessing. I am a third order Franciscan and it is a True pleasure watch your reactions and profound reflexions on the text. Although, i think, the band isnt religious, they made an álbum that illustrates very well God's work in all its complexety, with the Goods and bads of Human choices and the magnificience of Nature. Thank you and may God show His face and give mankind some peace in this times. By the way i am also a part of the discord that Ronny spoke in a comment below.

What a deep, thoughtful, amazing analysis! You have made my enjoyment of this song deeper than it was. I look forward to seeing your videos for the rest of the album.

Je l'ai ré-écouté à nouveau! Ce sont vraiment des virtuoses. Cet auteur, fait de la musique classique des années 2000! La chanteuse a une voix superbe, une maîtrise non pas quelconque. J'aime beaucoup ce que tu nous fais découvrir des paroles.

Ugh, Now I want to learn french haha Cool analysis! Looking forward to your take on the Tribal song.

Thank you very much for the great analysis. 🤘🏿🤘🏽🤘🏻 And I love to see religious people who are still open minded. Stay safe.

Greetings from Romania. I really enjoyed your deep analysis of the verses, and I'll subscribe to follow your next steps in deciphering the meanings of this special Nightwish new album. But please be aware you'll find, in future songs, references that might clash with your religious beliefs. See you around.

Toujours aussi pertinent, merci

I love this song. I also loved your reaction video. It is a pleasure to hear an intelligent and cultured analysis of this Nightwish masterpiece. This new CD is a piece of aural art for the ears along with the well done lyric video. I love the way you understand the nuances within the lyrics. This CD is full of very complex and challenging parts combined with the amazing poetic lyrics of the musical genius. Floor's ability to turn these extremely difficult words and phrasings into a beautiful story is simply amazing. I love what you have put together. I just subbed and cannot wait to see your next video. Be well my friend. Peace.

Ce nouvel album est riche de symbolisme, merci, cher Monsieur, pour cette excellente analyse. Je me suis abonné et j'attendrai avec impatience la suite, en particulier Procession, How's the Heart et Endlessness ! Amitiés de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique.

Such a beautiful insight into the lyrics and especially the role of Pan in its meaning! Your analysis elevated the song for me.

You genuinely have such a friendly smile on your face. "Kind people" are my "kind of people." 🤗

I am so happy you have english subtitles - I'm Canadian so I had to take French in school but I am by no means proficient. Great video, great analysis, I have absolutely subscribed to hear more!! Thank you!

Its not very often that some have the possibility to see a reaction like this. You put so much effort, research, intellect and deeply felt passion into this, that you cant do but be entranced and join the ride with you. Thank you!

Merci Beaucoup, I love your Nightwish reactions very much....greetings from New Zealand.

700/5000 Excellent reaction and analysis. It's the fourth time I've looked at your posts, all related to Nightwish and I liked them all. I really liked your reaction when you heard Laudato Si at Shoemaker. It was also the determining factor for which I subscribed to this channel. I will definitely follow your posts and not only those related to Nightwish. In the end I want to say something that believes me, coming from me is a compliment. If all the representatives of the church, no matter which of the many existing ones were like you, my attitude would go from indifference and often rejection to respect. So far, the only one I have respected has been Pope Francis. Looks like you're second.

Amazing reaction and a pleasure to watch. Real insight and human warmth. Subbed.

Thank you so much for this deep analysis, Guylain. It brought out meanings that I had no idea were in there. I've subscribed to your channel and very much look forward to your interpretations of the rest of the album. I can see from some of the comments that you have already listened to a lot of past music from the symphonic metal bands, but I would like to listen to your thoughts on music that you may have already heard. Rather than just reactions, why not start a series of "lyric analysis" videos, that don't require a surprised "reaction". It would be refreshing.

Great great reaction 🤘🤘🤘 , thank you very much .

wonderful reaction. thank you very much.

As the full time atheist and a part time alchemist I will welcome you, metal brother and your unusual deep analysis; This and Within Temptation Angles reactions are the most in the point of lyrics you can find from yt so far.

Wow, finally I start to watch your videos... it's at least as promising to me as "Music" is to you for the rest of the album !! Thanks a lot for your analysis and the time you spent on it !! Et bien entendu, bienvenue sur notre Discord !! N'aie pas peur, c'est "un peu" du grand n'importe quoi parfois dans certains salons, mais ça reste bon enfant, et le principal est là, notre passion commune pour Nightwish :-)

What an awesome review and analysis of this indeed very complex song. Thank you very much, it has helped me understand and appreciate it even more.

Very insightfull review and heartwarming reaction. It is so nice to see a real Tuomas fan reacting to his masterpieces and lyrics. Have to watch all your reactions now in order to see if I find something different interpretation to the songs than what I’ve had. Greetings from a Nightwish fan since 1997 🤘🏼

Je suis très heureux de découvrir votre chaîne aujourd'hui. Enfin une réaction / analyse en français, qui en plus est réalisé intelligemment avec une vrai pré-analyse du texte doté d'une réelle culture et pas simplement de grands yeux ronds de surprise de la voix de Floor. Continuez et je regarderai. Bravo

bonjour guylain , et merci pour ces videos surtout sur ta derniere video sur la music de la natue , je dois dire que j'ai été agréablement surpris du ton et de la recherche lyric des musiques sur tes video et j'aprecis grandement d'avoir de vrais recherche textuelle , je met un pouce et je m'abonne , a trés vite sur un autre morceau :)

Hello Guylain ; thank you very much for the explanation of the song ! We allready knew that Tuomas was a mastermind in writing al those years , but he has overdone himself this time I would never have guessed he's mind would go so deep. The explanation of music beginning at the source of tone, and building it up like a difficult mathematical profound salution is a genius worthy !!! (excuse some of the english) greetings from the Netherlands Ben !

Thank you for the analysis of the song and the English subtitles! I liked listening to your French, what a lovely articulation you have. Although I can NO French it was so nice listening to you. And you really opened up the lyrics in a wonderful way giving the Song a new dimension for me. I will follow you on your upcoming journey through the album.

Guylain...Many Congrats...4 couple of reasons a. First..we all of the Nightwish Army love you did the english translation with is ..b. Your Beautifull clear bright analyse..c. i loved the way of peace You did this ...thank you 🙏🏼..so keep on rollin this Beautifull Nightwish dude 🦉💜👑

Lovely reaction and breakdown. I don’t speak French but music transverses all languages , especially amazing composition by Nightwish. Music is a phenomenal song in its lyrical content, vocal gymnastics by Floor and the musicianship....it’s such a complex song. Thankyou for the reaction, wishing all safety and good health. 🤘

I love seeing someone who truly appreciates music for music’s sake.

Great, great reaction, thank you.

I did see your reaction to Pan today, and thought it was amazing!! so thats why i go back to start now, and see all your reactions to this album, that i love myself, and yes you just seems like a very wise man, who loves music, and got something to offer my brain, i belive in what you say, youre spot on, , so im really enjoying watching you so far.. Music was the song on this album, Tuomas did have thne hardest time to write, as he tryed to mix in all kind of music styles from start, like Jazz, tribal, the symfonic parts, and so on, but it didnt work out as he made a demo of it, and he ripped it all apart again, kind of re writing it, hearing the song now, i think that proberly was a good idea, as i love the song as it came to be..

This is the most interresting reaction i have seen for a song of this album..well i need to concentrade for the french language vs, the subtitles, but a very deep analysis which i dig a lot!

Somehow I fell down the youtube rabbit hole and landed here. What an insightful, beautiful analysis of this song. It really is made to be given this level of attention!

Merci. Very good, brilliant reactio.

Well done, sir! Very much appreciate the depth of my understanding that your insights have added to these songs from Nightwish (watched others before this one)! Greetings from Alaska...stay healthy!

Merci c'est géant !!! J'adore !

Such a beautiful, well-thought and articulate analysis - thank you for taking the time and sharing with us! You noted the complexity of the melody and wondered if the album contains more of that complexity...yes it does. Not all of the songs, but quite a few. This is something quite different for the band, and Tuomas said he challenged the singers with this album. Floor acknowledged that it was a challenge for her. If I remember correctly (from interviews) she took a month or more simply understanding the text before attempting to sing it. You also wondered about how it might be in a live performance...she and Troy performed one of the songs from the album (How’s the Heart - another beautiful song) live and that has some of the same complexity and she handles it perfectly. I look forward to more analysis from you.

Super reaction et analyse ,c'est virement intéressante , on voit que tu est passionné et sa se retranscrit vraiment beaucoup durent la vidéo ,c'est un plaisirs de la regardé , allez hop nouvel abonnée et je go regardé les autre vidéo , merci infiniment =)

Sir .. I just subscribed .. I found your reaction quite wonderful in it's insight .. enjoyed every minute of it and I am looking forward to more. It is at this point that I would mention that the reactor needs to learn the background of Shoemaker .. Eugene Shoemaker the man .. but I suspect that when you get to this song you will have done this very in depth .. so I will look forward to that too.

Thankyou for a wonderful incite into this song, my perspective was it is written from music's point of view towards us humans. I think you got that too. It was a lovely review, to a brilliant song.

Merci beaucoup Guylain. Votre explication est tres interssante. Merci. Salutations des Pays-Bas.

Floor will always have a home inside me - she is not only a superior interpreter of songs, but she's a warm, wise and good-hearted person. A force for good in this world. 🤘🌍❤️

You are my kind of a man of faith, so here I come with a subscription, will follow you at least here. Greets from Finland. Stay safe.

Content de vous voir attaquer cette œuvre et bravo pour cette première analyse qui aura des résonances avec celles qui suivent je pense.

Greetings from Ireland, and thank you for a lovely and insightful reaction. I spent many happy days as a child visiting the medieval Franciscan friary where my grand-uncle spent his life in worship and study. Though I'm not a believer myself, I've always had a deep fondness for your order as a result.

Marci beaucoup pour les sous-titres Anglais! Like your reaction a lot, but (being Dutch) my French is insufficient to follow your reaction without the subtitles. Je me suis abonne!

This is one of the best interpretation of this slow building opener of the magnificent new Nightwish album. But I think that Tuomas himself is not the singing protagonist here. This is Music as it's entity who is singing the essence of it to the world from it's beginning to the end. Think about that. Sorry about my bad English. Thank you and Greetings from Finland!

Hola desde Perú, wow tu análisis fue espectacular muchos solo se quedan en lo general, obviamente se sabe que la canción habla sobre la música, pero la letra guarda secretos que enriquece el mensaje. Maravilloso análisis espero los siguientes. Felicitaciones.

"Performance starts, come join the gathering and you will leave with a wildflower aftertaste." Perhaps some Floor references in here, beside the obvious. The name Floor is analogue to the name Fleur in french: flower. Also, one of Floor's inspirations was Dutch band The Gathering: www.kerrang.com/features/nightwishs-floor-jansen-the-10-songs-that-changed-my-life/

Thank you very much. This was a pleasure, enjoyed really much watching this one. Subded, I want to follow your journey with Nightwish, my favorite band and this moment my favorite album. I hope that after you have finished disc 1, you will do also disc 2. That instrumental song. There is now music video for the parts 1.-7., only audio video. But part 8 have a music video.

Only now its all clear to me; I was completely ignorant; unbelivable that I need your explanation to really understand the indeed beautiful lyrics and music; you are the perfect preacher teaching the words of the gospel of Thomas! Of course I have to read your lectures of the following songs of the album.

The drum part in the first section of the song is very "PeterGabrielesque". Certainly an eyewink to The rythm of the heat. The Chorus is absolutly fabulous, both for its music and its lyrics. Isn't that what (good) music is all about, loosing yourself in it? Thanks Guylain for suggesting me to start my NIghtwish Journey with this album!

Tuomas est un très grand compositeur et poète! J'adore ses paroles, en particulier les paroles de ce nouvel album sont touchantes.

I really enjoyd your reaction. The imediate understandig of the complexity and beauty of the performance. For me this music is a great gift in troubled times! Enjoying the unique musical journey of Human :||: Nature !!

The Poet and the Pendulum is such a masterpiece , I feel like this is in some way a sequel to that

I write yesterday..thanks for the new Review with subtitles,, sstay save from northern germany 🤗 oh, before i forget.Shoemaker from this same album..i am shure you love the end, the Laudato SI Ad Astra

It's not often someone reacts to this song and mentions the complex vocal lines to the degree you did, Guylain. Such appreciation for the melodic athletics that Floor performs and makes sound easy and so beautiful. Finesse indeed. The music is 'so very Tuomas' as you said, but it's this album in which his genius finally had a chance to fully stretch its legs in my opinion. Before he wrote what Tarja and Anette could sing. Now he writes what he wants, knowing that Floor can handle it. And the end result is nothing short of majestic.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the sound at the very beginning of the song is literally the sound of space. Tuomas' asked NASA if he could have sounds they recorded in space for the album. Just another layer of awesome.

The lyric 'Become the King who still laughs at Butterflies give me a home inside you until the final thank you and good night' . I had interpreted that as music asking humans to take the joy of music into their soul to be a balm to their soul until death.

D'abord c'est le premiere fois que j'ecrire en Francais (je ne sais pas comment on faire le cedille est des accents avec la clavier Allemand ) depuis 1995 . Je m'ecuse pour fautes. C'est un plaisir ecouter votre reaction. Jaime bien votre méticuleuse analyse. Merci pour ca.

Greetings from the Netherlands, sir. Yours was an exceptionel reaction, I immediately subscribed! I have one question, though: could it be that "the common show" could be seen in a broader perspective than just a rock concert? Could it be that it means all of nowadays' society and all that is going on in the world, for which Pan will never sing?

I believe the first "melody" is from a Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal (approx. 1400 BCE) which is why it sounds very different and non-melodic to our ear. It was transcribed from clay tablets which include how to make the harp to play the music. It's believed to be the oldest complete set of music of humans. You can read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrian_songs The song is the history of music in our universe from nothing building over time It starts with; Sound of Silence Sounds of the Universe Sounds of Nature Sounds of Drums Sounds of Horns Sounds of Flutes/Reeds Then one of the first harps described shows with a choir of angels (which is the first polyphonic instrument) Leading into one of the oldest known written song melodies. It continues building and traveling through time... My opinion anyway!

Thought you might be interested in an analysis of "The very first song." From Wikipedia; the oldest known piece of music. "The earliest fragment of musical notation is found on a 4,000-year-old Sumerian clay tablet, which includes instructions and tunings for a hymn honoring the ruler Lipit-Ishtar. But for the title of oldest extant song, most historians point to “Hurrian Hymn No. 6,” an ode to the goddess Nikkal that was composed in cuneiform by the ancient Hurrians sometime around the 14th century B.C. The clay tablets containing the tune were excavated in the 1950s from the ruins of the city of Ugarit in Syria. Along with a near-complete set of musical notations, they also include specific instructions for how to play the song on a type of nine-stringed lyre." Somewhere on the net is an actual video of this being played on the Lyre.

Bonjour d'une Ontarienne! Merci, j'ai vraiment apprécié votre réaction. Je m'excuse ma français, je ne l'ai pas vraiment écrit depuis l'immersion française. Je suis hors de pratique! Je pourrais parler extensivement de cet album, mais trois choses m'ont frappé: 1. Après "all it took was time and silence", avez-vous remarqué la pause complète, 2. la lyre etc. Je pense que cela évoque l'hymne Hurrien (je n'ai pas voire votre réaction au disque 2), et 3. Je pense que Tuomas continue l'idée "Greatest Show on Earth" -- le "show" c'est aussi la vie, les remerciements et bonne nuit en fin de vie/la fin de la spectacle. Pour permettre à la musique d'entrer vous donnez un "Backstage Pass", pas la spectacle commun. J'attends pour votre réaction prochaine avec impatience!

Quand deux esprits connaisseurs se rencontrent à travers la musique - merci pour ces réactions!

Depuis une semaine, j'ai écouté beaucoup de ses et de leurs vidéos. En classique, il va dans toutes les directions! C'est vraiment bon. Il joue des pièces qu'on a l'habitude d'entendre avec d'autres instruments ou voix parce qu'il n'y a pas tant de morceaux pour violoncelle. Si tu as d'autres suggestions, je suis prête à tout écouter... ou presque! Hi! Hi!

Music.. 👍👍👍 Musigue... 👋👋👋👋👋

I really like the way you approach these. I think you'll enjoy Phantom Agony or Sensorium by Epica! Salut

man awakes .. music enters .. history has begun .. the endless of now …

I was wondering... have you noticed that Music really forms a continuation of The Greatest Show on Earth from their last album?

Merci for yet another great analysis and I am so happy you enjoyed this song as much as I do and I know you are going to love some of the other songs on this album if not all of them :) . I am not sure if you know but the very first part of the tune before the drums etc I think is the voice/noise of the universe itself recorded by Nasa kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jatimbd1ysmpp6s.html and put into notes by Tuomas and then progresses to when animals and humans arrived here. I look forward to seeing your next video. Stay safe and enjoy the music and peace to you :)

Il y en a déjà! Ces derniers temps, j'écoute le violoncelliste Stephan Hauser qui est un musicien classique. J'ai écouté une vidéo où il joue avec Luka Selic de la musique de AC/DC, Nirvana, Sting et autres. Ils avaient des violoncelles électriques. De là à intégrer ça à tout un orchestre symphonique classique!!! Mais, il faut se le dire, ce n'est pas le même son.

Don't worry floor will sing it with finesse.she always does it.

Un fort câlin du Portugal.

Why are this Human | Nature reactions not shown in your video list anymore? I wanted to enjoy your excitement about this album again, but I had a very hard time finding this work. Maybe you can look into it as I wish for more people to see this.
