G'day guys, today we are reacting to Nightwish Pan. Oh man! This song is an absolute masterpiece. So many references to think about, both visually and through the music. I also loved that the song started of as a silent canvas the story to be written.

Your analysis is exceptional dude. Your power of observation is mindboggling to me. I thought this was the best track on the album, and you just explained to me why :-) And lets be honest, any reaction starting with "G'day" is fun to watch! Keep up the good work and try not to loose your mind with 'Tribal'.

With this album I think we can say that Tuomas and Nightwish have created a new genre. I'd call it "Classical Metal" where the classics of literature, music, themes, and art are fused into a metal melange.

Pan, Music and Endlessness are my 3 favs off this album. I think that is solid now, order may change daily but they are the 3 I like to listen to the most. Harvest and Tribal complete my Top 5. Great album though. This song is the most traditional Nightwish of the album to me. Can't wait to here some of these live :D

"PAN" is just an awesome song about the human imagination that we all need to survive this PANdemic without getting bored to death. According to Wikipedia,"Tír na nÓg" (Land of the Young) comes from Ireland's Celtic mythology. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" is also a novel by Ray Bradbury that was also filmed & produced by Walt Disney Productions, which makes sense as Tuomas is a fan of Disney. Many more parts of the lyrics have also been explained by various contributors here genius.com/19570039 P.S. I also agree with what the others have already said about your reaction, excluding any negative comments.

@galadballcrusher8182 4 жыл бұрын

since u mentioned cinderella snow white etc.... i d like to point out .... not separately... collectively... the title is Snow Glass Apples and is a short story by Neil Gaiman here... have a look on wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow,_Glass,_Apples and i think that's the interesting part as the song clearly is about imagination also verified by Tuomas in one of the short vids about the songs prior to release. Careful check of the lyrics shows stories sparking the imagination ... so if we just read them as they are they are just allready processed "chewed" food taken as it is, but if Mind processes it an fins and builds hooks and builds more stories ... imagination see? Cause the Neil Gaiman story sees the classic fairy tales as a basis to build something diferent ( something wicked that way came?)

G'day mate, always enjoy your reactions. Most of your reflections are spot on, but I think you missed one obvious starting point in your analysis: the name of the song itself. Pan also refers to the silent canvas mentioned in the first verse... fill the empty canvas with colours and music and fantasy and fulfill your life! And by coincidence (or not) the latin name for chimpanzee is Pan troglodytes. Keep up the good work! Greetings from the land of the northern lights - and Nightwish!

To me Pan is about imagination, childhood wonder and maybe the reality of the adult life that try to stomp over it. There are really great references to Fairy Tales (the books title that is on the table, did same as you, paused to see it) playing cards, movie strips, dices etc. In the lyrics I found references too about fairytales, first that came to my mind were SnowWhite, Cinderella etc. References to books Labyrinth, Keystone Earth and There and Back etc. Some cards have ravens on them, raven is also in celtic mythology the messenger between this life and Tir Na Nog, your explanation is better though. And I totally missed the point with the dominos but now that you said it of course it is the monolite. This song was for me the most Nightwishy and instant fav, it was like home, you know, familiar and easy to listen. Still in my top3, just loving it. And thank you for giving me more of those references 🤘🏼🤘🏼

This one will be great live. Very complex and complicated musical parts. This song is about the human imagination. You nailed it and had some great insights. Great job. Once there was a silent canvas Sleeping stories unimagined Birth of what if`s, hope and wonder Winds will be named, words will shelter Then, something wicked their way came Showed a way to the Great Escape Evoke the worlds, sparked the brain An ape in awe before a door - "of your mind imagination" A moment alone With unbeknown Reset the world Imagine home A primal need To touch the stars Only way there To enter

Howdy, Patrol! Great reaction, as always~ To add to the list of references you compiled during your review of the song, I saw you smiling when they mentioned Tír na nÓg, the fairyland of eternal youth from Irish mythology, so I figured perhaps you're familiar with it as a religious scholar or a Scotsman by blood (seeing how closely the cultures are linked). That realm, and the gods of the Tuatha Dé that reside there, do feature prominently in a good amount of literature themselves -- most immediate in mind are Lady Augusta Gregory's chronicles of Irish legend that begin with the Mythological Cycle featured in "Gods and Fighting Men." I wouldn't be surprised if its presence in the song lyrics was of a broader nature than just that, however, given its thematic and aesthetic resonance with Nightwish's general image and philosophies.

After watching Pan a few more times I had to change my way of looking at it because of one line. "It is stories that built cathedrals". Did they just put religious writing in the same category as fairy tales? I believe so. That puts a whole new spin on the lyrics. Is the ape at the door of the Cathedral? Standing in awe of it's beauty? The primal need, to touch the stars..only way there, to enter.
