An artist paints, a sculptor, sculpts, a writer,writes...Tuomas does all of these with his musical genius. He speaks with his soul....Thanks for reacting to this extraordinary creation.
You're right! It's a crime against humanity ! This should be shown to every child, in every classroom, all throughout the World. Such a masterpiece! This has to do with genuine genius artistry.
@@playagain963 It's the case in every Nightwish song! It's one of the biggest artist ! His music will stay forever... He's just Mindblowing, out of this world...
In Anthropocene, there is a section where the world's oldest known piece of music is played. It's called 'Hurrian Hymn To Nikkal', and was found on a cuneiform tablet that is 3400 years old. If you recall, in the first song from the first side, Music, there is a line in there saying 'It is coming, coming, coming your way the very first song'. This is it.
Wonderfully crystallized, especially that Tuomas took us to journey and spoke to us without saying a single word, only with music and composition - Tuomas truly is from out of this world and so are His band mates..
Tuomas is a genius, maybe you should also check out , A lifetime of adventure by him, his wife Johanna sings on that one, The album is called The Life and times of Scrooge McDuck It's amazing. And yes it's Floor a couple of times on this side of the dvd
I’d think Tuomos is not interested in movies. For me he’s up there with Mozart , Bach and the likes. He’s incredible and I for one am glad to be able to exist in the time of Tuomos Holopainen 🤘. I’ve heard the song before the video and it’s all I need. Put it on an the music takes me away. The video is incredible, I would love to know how it came about. It is so fitting to the music and so beautiful. Thank you for reacting to this, you should try this with no video and just close the eyes and listen, it’s truly something special.
He's said in an interview that he doesn't enjoy working on film music since the composers have so little creative input compared to the director (and whoever else has control over how the movie is done).
You realize Floor and Troy. He plays his Ulliean Pipes. And Floor..is Floor. Here outro from Ad Astra is awesome. Ps Tuomas is to good for the f...ing Hollywood
You are not alone when you compare Tuomas Holopainen to the composers you mentioned. Pip Williams, the guy that runs the London Orchestra Nightwish have used for years, said exactly the same.
In end of the VR Concert, they changed the last part of TgSonE, and took the ending of Ad Astra in it. I mean perfect. Tuomas is a genius, and Floor his Voice.
The only Nightwish members in this are Troy with his pipes and Floor with her beautiful vocals on top of some of them and the ending of Ad Astra. That last part is used by Nightwish to finish their latest live shows and Floor is just mindblowing in that: czcams.com/video/kjgGjsW7vpg/video.html
To my recollection, Tuomas has said that he is not very enthusiastic about making film music. The film composer has to leave his work at the mercy of the director, editor and producer. Tuomas wants to retain 100% right to decide on each note. That’s why Nightwish pays for the masters of the albums in full and then hands them over to the record company.
It's not just the rights, but also the creative freedoms. The composers apparently work with a lot of restrictions, and I can fully understand that that can take far too much joy out of the process for someone like Tuomas.
This composition of Tuomas' is ravishingly beautiful, stunning in every respect. Combined with the visuals, it speaks directly to your heart and soul. Who else writes like this? No one.
I truly believe that Tuomas Holopainen in general and this album in particular will be taught in college level Music Theory and Appreciation classes for decades to come, and probably centuries from now he will be considered in the same vein as the classical greats such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and all the other great masters of the art. I would hesitate to say that he has even gotten close to his peak yet, he just keeps getting better and better as he gets older and gains more experience in the world and in music.
Thank you so much for doing this. Just an amazing composition. Vistas are places where you can see beautiful land and seascapes at a large scale. Anthropocene is the name of our current geologic age where humans are the dominant force. The spoken word part in Ad Astra is from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot and is inspired by a photograph of earth by Voyager 1 taken from outside our solar system. Troy was playing the uilliean pipes in The Moors and Floor was doing the ending vocals in Ad Astra. Ad Astra is the show closer for their current tour. I agree that Tuomas perfectly captured the quiet of winter. Reminds me of my childhood in Vermont and being in the woods in February. Love how Tuomas has challenged us at the end of this piece to think about our home and our future. I think the abrupt, unresolved ending is meant to symbolize humanity's unresolved future. It is up to us to figure it out!
Tuomas love Hans Zimmer, even using "Crimson Tide" as an intro to live concerts, years a go. Did you feel "The Green" breathing, ebb and flow? Giving us oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide? I had an epiphany when listening to Jean Michel Jarre "Oxygene" on headphones, when it came out, all the music was breathing. The fans that made this, are almost in Tuomas' head! He likes it enough to include it in the Nightwish Museum. Yep, "Lord of the Rings"! "Ad Astra" Almost impossible to sing... Yet Floor did it at the end of their live concerts! "What's that sign?" Pripyat, Chernobyl, deserted, rotting away. The message...
Since you liked to much this one, I suggest you Auri - Pearl Diving ( czcams.com/video/jiD_YdKCYTk/video.html ). It is the other Tuomas's band, with his wife and Troy. In fact the all album is great. And also you could try to listen to his soundtrack of life and times of scrooge (czcams.com/video/mpjEMNLCXHQ/video.html), the all album is a masterpiece again :)
Personally I think Tuomas dwarfs most other composers. Lets face it, he can do what they do plus symphonic metal to the highest level, let alone any other genre of music he chooses to compose. Thanks for doing this.
I've heard that he made one song requested by someone else at one point And after it was finished he said that he would not do it again because it was like with a certain deadline it had to be completed, also that the others wanted to be involved in how to make it It's just not the way Tuomas wants to create his music
Imagine if he had the time to only compose score-type music? This was done right alongside the Nightwish record! I can see Tuomas (don't be offended, I do this to everyone... pron: TOO-oh-Moss) as an old man w flowing white curls, conducting an orchestra... Actually glad you did this w the nature video. I keep this disc in my car for a chill ride.
As far as I know ... the imagery was added by a fan .. making this video "fan made" That does not take anything away from the master piece that is the music ... but do not compliment the music based on the movie you see ... ;-) Rather compliment the "fan" on finding the perfect images to compliment the awesome music.
Tuomas has talked about doing movie scores in at least one interview I’ve seen; the gist of it was that he loves film scores and would in theory love to score a movie, but admits that he has an overly-romanticized notion of it and that the reality would be a disappointment (deadlines, forced to make changes, not having complete and final creative control, etc). Definitely check out the Life & Times of Scrooge album; it’s a soundtrack he wrote for his favorite graphic novel to share the music that’s always been in his head when he reads it. Everyone says Lifetime of Adventure because it had a music video but please please please, Last Sled to Dawson is breathtakingly beautiful and you need to hear it. Tuomas is absolutely on par with the big name composers you mention (and in fact, he cites Hans Zimmer as one of his primary influences).
Thank you SO very much for your reactions for the complete Human |:| Nature album. I would like to encourage you to react to Nimwey's suggestion in the comments = "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".czcams.com/video/JWwSVOo5K_k/video.html I'm really enjoying taking this journey with you in discovering Nightwish and all its members as part of the band and in separate projects of their own. Cheers!
The Green is the only part of Disc 2 that does not appear again in the other pieces and the blue has a connection to all the other pieces I has taken a while to pick at the joining pieces but it’s fascinating when you hear the repeated patterns Glad you chose to do it most don’t and the Album is not complete without it. Try the Album version the Video can distract you from the music
Yes this is a stunning composition but credit to whoever made this amazing video that enhances the experience. I first listened to it on the car stereo without the visuals and it was magnificent but now love it with the video.
25:00 the whispers says "calme.. comme la neige" french for quiet as the snow. Anthropocene means the era of humans. Humans are one of the wonder of nature that adorn the world. Ad Astra means "to the stars" the future of the world is a future where nature expand beyond our planet and across the stars. I love that the last image of the video is Mars with a space station orbiting.
Anthropocene adjective relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. "we've become a major force of nature in this new Anthropocene epoch" What is Anthropocene in other words? the period of time during which human activities have had an environmental impact on the Earth regarded as constituting a distinct geological age
Technically it should be Aurorae... plural... as we have the same effect down here in the South... The Aurora Australis as distinct from the Aurora Borialis which are the Northern Lights... Just a little nit picking from the Southern Hemisphere. :)
Thanks for showing this. I’ve had the CD for a few weeks but have never seen the video. Respectfully, I’d enjoy your reactions a lot more if every other word wasn’t a cuss word. Just saying…..
Life has never been the same for me since discovering Nightwish. I love their music, poetry, and challenge to traditional thinking.
I always say this but I will say it again, life is never the same after discovering Nightwish. The most beautiful gift from the universe.
An artist paints, a sculptor, sculpts, a writer,writes...Tuomas does all of these with his musical genius. He speaks with his soul....Thanks for reacting to this extraordinary creation.
You're right! It's a crime against humanity ! This should be shown to every child, in every classroom, all throughout the World. Such a masterpiece! This has to do with genuine genius artistry.
I like that he doesn’t just put something in a song because it sounds cool. Everything he does has meaning behind it and it shows in his music
@@playagain963 It's the case in every Nightwish song! It's one of the biggest artist ! His music will stay forever... He's just Mindblowing, out of this world...
The second disc is like the first, with no vocals, but all is said, just with music... It makes sense!
In Anthropocene, there is a section where the world's oldest known piece of music is played. It's called 'Hurrian Hymn To Nikkal', and was found on a cuneiform tablet that is 3400 years old. If you recall, in the first song from the first side, Music, there is a line in there saying 'It is coming, coming, coming your way the very first song'. This is it.
Not only is this a fantastic composition but Tuomas knows which instrument(s) should play each part for maximum effect.Genius at work.
Wonderfully crystallized, especially that Tuomas took us to journey and spoke to us without saying a single word, only with music and composition - Tuomas truly is from out of this world and so are His band mates..

Yes, i agree. Tuomas is a another league of (very good) Hollywood composer. My opinion
He's said in an interview that he doesn't enjoy working on film music since the composers have so little creative input compared to the director (and whoever else has control over how the movie is done).
Tuomas said he would have been a Marine Biologist if he was never a part of Nightwish. I think that's why you see so many ocean themes in his videos
you have a master composer,master vocalist,master musicians= best on the planet. Open the Nightwish school of music.
You realize Floor and Troy. He plays his Ulliean Pipes. And Floor..is Floor. Here outro from Ad Astra is awesome. Ps Tuomas is to good for the f...ing Hollywood

This is why I love Nightwish, their music wakes people up and really makes you think about reality,awesome 😎
They end their conserts at human nature tour with Ad Astra. Floor's vocals are phenomenal!
The beginning of the "The Green" almost brings me to tears every time.
We should say thanks to.the person that did this video
Absolutely
I love Ad Astra. Carl Sagen words put to music. Pale Blue Dot by Carl is such a total gut punch. If it doesn't humble you. Nothing will.
Masterpiece! A genius!
Thank you for the experience!
While we are court up in the world of “Noise “ that’s what we are missing amazing message isn’t it
I truly believe that Tuomas Holopainen in general and this album in particular will be taught in college level Music Theory and Appreciation classes for decades to come, and probably centuries from now he will be considered in the same vein as the classical greats such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and all the other great masters of the art.

Plus John Williams basically stole the Starwars theme from, Holst- Mars the bringer of war.
This the 'go-to' music I put on when I am in the mood to just sit back and relax or I am working in the office. Terrific music Tuomas !
I'm an addict for this music.
I've heard that he made one song requested by someone else at one point
And after it was finished he said that he would not do it again because it was like with a certain deadline it had to be completed, also that the others wanted to be involved in how to make it
It's just not the way Tuomas wants to create his music
And the funny thing, that song was still part of the set list of the Tampere 2015 concert: Sleeping Sun.
Is that Floor. I watched their Virtual Concert and that last bit is done at the end of the Concert is done by her
Imagine if he had the time to only compose score-type music? This was done right alongside the Nightwish record!
I can see Tuomas (don't be offended, I do this to everyone... pron: TOO-oh-Moss) as an old man w flowing white curls, conducting an orchestra...

I put this on in the evenings at least once or twice a week.
I guess it‘s a harp at the aurorae session, not a piano

Have you heard another band Tuomas is in, Auri ? Troy, Tuomas and Johanna Kurkela, wife of Tuomas.
Wonderful piece of music.
For me mandatory once a week!
Thank you🇫🇮🌞!
.................... i love it ..................

Good music for relaxing 😎
😊🇫🇮❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨🤘
Piece of Masters 🎶✨💙
Try watching this again on a big projection screen, awesome 😎
this is a fucking masterpiece
Hey, you should definitely check out some Nightwish Instrumental only music as well, thanks requesting 😎
Yes this is a stunning composition but credit to whoever made this amazing video that enhances the experience. I first listened to it on the car stereo without the visuals and it was magnificent but now love it with the video.
why am I crying while I'm watching this ..
Because the song an imaginary is stunningly beautiful
My wild guess IS he has been asked to compose for movies 😃
Cant tell because i havent seen anyone asking him about that.
Or, maybe A Grieg, a Smetana, a Albioni, a Mozart, a ... or any of the great classical composers.

Great reaction. As previously mentioned, you ought to give 'A Lifetime of Adventure" by Tuomas, a listen.
Absolutely!
Thanks for showing this. I’ve had the CD for a few weeks but have never seen the video. Respectfully, I’d enjoy your reactions a lot more if every other word wasn’t a cuss word. Just saying…..
I'm glad he has not made music for films because after that his music would be film music. You know Disney's or Warner Bro's music.
This music sounds like something from The Lord Of The Rings movies.
That’s what I was thinking!!
I am right with on this EPIC isn't big enough to cover it. I can only think that Hollywood must be suffering from deafness or plain musical ignorance
Anthropocene is the Age of humans.
