Did you notice that this first track opens with a movie projector sound spooling up? And then at the end of the last song Lanternlight, the spooling down sound.
I've listened through the album 4, 5 times now, and still getting used to it, picking things up. Every song is going to take multiples listens to fully appreciate, at least it is for me.

[renejensen]

Even you skip the songs you listened already, i suggest you take your time alone to listen to the album from start to finish, for me this album is best taking the grand journey it really is, listen to all in album order,

[renejensen]

The song “Yesterwynde” by Nightwish explores themes of connection, longing, and the shared experiences of humanity. The choir introduces the song by evoking a journey from darkness into light, emphasizing the bonds that unite us. Floor Jansen’s verse paints a poetic image of a “broken blooming bough, ” symbolizing both beauty and fragility, as well as a fading world marked by countless sunsets. There is a plea for recognition and understanding—"See me. See me?“—suggesting a deep desire for connection between the singer and the listener. The final lines evoke a sense of isolation and unity, as if both the singer and the listener are on an "island of a shipless crew, ” stranded yet together in their shared human experience. The song reflects Nightwish’s characteristic blend of introspective themes and grand, symphonic storytelling.

such a good intro for this album it starts off builds rather well and quickly from the beginning of the album to the end with lanternlight

[frankramakers]

This was an intro to a great album. There are some songs that needed a second listen for me to get them, but I love the whole album. Thank you for your reaction.

[jewfish]

Nikki, you are amongst friends here so no need to apologise.

[PaulSink]

Always love your honesty Nikki.Keep doing the reactions the way you do!

[Starman_]

Genuine, as usual. Thanks Nikki.
🤘😎🤘

This song was written because Tuomas was watching a video of people from iirc the Edwardian era enjoying themselves so it was filmed in cold emotionless black & white and then on the video they colourised the film bringing these long dead people back to life in vivid colour.. the feeling that these were once real people with real lives..they lived and had the same trials, joys and thoughts as us in life that we have now .they were the same as us..just time in that moment separated us.

''Out of the darkness
And into the bright light
We carry the ties
That we bind to you)

I am the broken blooming bough
The countless sunsets of a lost world
See me, see me
So alike we are, you and us, soon
See me, see you
On an island of a shipless crew
''

Hi Nikki, please don't apologize. If something's not for you, that's OK. Not everything will connect the first time, don't worry about it. Like many have said about this record, give the album a few listens and I would bet that you will for sure love some of the songs, if not all of them. I speak from experience. I loved Endless Forms Most Beautiful, really liked Human Nature a lot, and I can tell that in time I will love this just as much...I already have a handful of tunes that I can't get out of my head! Keep going, I think you will enjoy this before you're done with it. 😊💙✌🤘

[JWNanaimo]

Maybe it is much like the sadness that the choir that began The Poet and the Pendulum evokes but then evolves into fear/rage/anger but then hope and peace.
Your angst about hoping we aren’t going to be upset that you might not like this. Nikki we appreciate your honesty and candor. Keep on keepin’ on girl🤘🤘

[Bonovin]

Beautiful aet, music, this is great . I love this album ! Greetings from Sweden

[optimusakc]

It's ok Nikki, now I just have to get through a whole other week to react to the next song! 😭🤟

[dianabryson]

I still to this day can`t absorb all of Toumas`s Lyric`s It takes a while to understand. I think as being here in the US that we do not totally appreciate what Nightwish is saying we need to listen and feel what they are saying. That is what I love about this band you think and feel their music, soft or more metal it does not matter. I never liked choir`s much growing up but for the past 15 years that mixed with metal is what I seek out in music.

[wannabedane]

Hey Nikki, you, like us, will have to hear this album more times to fully grasp what it is about, the many layers, poetic lyrics, etc. And, that's okay!

[markclements-bsmb]

Hi Nikki, greetings from UK
That was a great reaction, very honest 😉

As with any album there will always be songs which you vibe with more than others, and also you have to take account of what mood you are in in any one moment. Sometimes you feel like listening to a more melancholy song, and at other times you might want something more upbeat. It doesn't detract from how good the song itself might be. Personal taste in the moment 😊

A lot of comments I have seen suggest that this album is best listened to all in one hit as it makes more sense than listening to the songs individually. If I were going to do that then I would probably think of this song as a 'filler' to introduce a certain mood to the album, and in that way I think that it works. We know that the mood will change as the album progresses

[Silisavnw]

Yesterwynde is not just the greatest album from Nightwish but the best album in the music history!!!

[bobsuisse]

Nothing to appologize 😊, but YW is made for a complete album listening, not really for a single song. And then you will discover the magic and the beauty of this masterpiece 😊. And yes it takes some time.

[trekkerj]

You should check out the transition between the tracks. the album fits together like puzzle pieces. I won't listen to this track unless I'm listening to my vinyl copy. I guess we wait some more for track 3, which is slightly different than this one. There are so many songs I can't wait for your reaction to. Until YesterWednesday.

[samusahlsten]

You just being honest. That's not bad thing. Until the next song.
