First listening to Music by Nightwish from their new album HUMAN. :II: NATURE. Song used in this clip: • NIGHTWISH - Music (Off... #Nightwish #Reaction #Music
After being a fan since around 2004ish and waiting 5 years for new music, this song had me bawling, like I literally had to take a 5 minute break before continuing on with the new album, then I got hit with Shoemaker and had to take another one. 😂😂
Honestly you're one of my favourite reactors :) great analysis and I love how enthusiastic you are about music! It makes me smile. Keep up the great work <3
This, from my perspective is actually music as an entity singing to the human that it found to be able to express itself. As a concept this displays Toumas's genius far better than just singing from the human perspective about music and I truly feel he believes music has a life and will of its own and he just provides the channel for it to manifest.
Music written from the perspective of music as an entity starts with the sounds he imagines before humans and moves on to the first human music, drums. Then onto the first know stringed instrument, the Lyre. The first song refers to the first know written song the Hurrian hymn discovered in 1950 on a 3400 year old clay tablet. You can hear the Hurrian hymn here -
One thing I've been thinking about with this song that I have not seen/heard anyone mention or comment about is exactly how appropriate this is as an opener, as the lyrics and parts of the melody seem to give away clues on the other songs on the album in small bits and pieces. A small matter of interpretation for some parts but yeah... :) It would just again show what a genius Toumas is.
This album is brilliant beginning to end with incredible variety. Strongly suggest you hit all the songs - would be awesome to hear your thoughts. Great reaction!
"Anything can happen in the studio version" yep but we aaaaalllll know this is going to do be even better live XD (can't wait to have the live version of the album !)
the most interesting thing about this song is that its from the point of view of music as if it was a sentient being listen to it with that in mind and its like you have never heard it before
Her vocals are "Floorless"
Firstly, I'd like to second every request to listen to the entire album, preferably in order.

My dear reactor, I think you just had the first silencegasm I have ever seen. Bravo!
On the album this runs almost seamlessly into "Noise". It's a natural next step yet a huge contrast at the same time.
"Thank you Covid"
I love the look on a reactor's face when they not only love Nightwish, but UNDERSTAND them. 🤘
I really hope you'll be able to react to every song of the album, there's so much amazing in this one!
Once Emmpu's solo starts its just chills and tears to the end.

These highly disjoint/compound vocal melodies appear all over this album. They're insane and beautiful. Can't wait for Shoemaker 😉

In my opinion every song every song on this album deserves a reaction for one reason or another. My favorite is Tribal.

First time hearing "music" was a bit strange, because of the intro and floors vocals, which sounded so different but great at the same time.
This song hits right in the guts every single time (and the whole album too).
