Recording this video was an absolute blast!

The first time I heard this song, they had just brought me out of the Intensive Care Unit. I still couldn't move my fingers properly when I was trying to press the thumbnail.

It proved to be a moment of happiness in a really miserable time.

Thank you Nightwish.

Lucius Malfoy, Gandalf and Jesus Christ playing together is the best thing ever!

As someone who's always had an interest in animals and biology, the science references in these lyrics are really cool. Let's see, we've got:

"Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye" - An aye-aye is a really weird, cool species of lemur that exists today. It's also a primate, which makes it one of our modern-day cousins.

"Welcoming the shrew that survived" - Likely a reference to the idea that primates may have evolved from a species of extinct, shrew-like mammal (which wasn't literally a shrew, of course, but it probably looked a lot like one).

"To see the tiktaalik take her first walk" - The tiktaalik was an extinct ancient fish with leg-like fins that would have allowed it to walk on land for short periods of time. Scientists believe it might represent the evolutionary transition between fish and amphibians.

"Deeper down in Panthalassa" - Panthalassa is the name given to the ancient super-ocean that surrounded Pangaea, until continental drift eventually created the continents and oceans we know today.

"A eukaryote finds her way" - A eukaryote is any organism with cells that have a nucleus contained inside a membrane; basically, the kind of cell most people would have learned about in high school biology. Almost all multicellular organisms are eukaryotes, so if eukaryote cells hadn't evolved, we wouldn't be here.

So in general, this is some pretty smart stuff. We don't see enough appreciation out there for the beauty of life in all its complexity. :)

Never seen a metal band look so happy to be playing metal.

[Beggar]

World: Puh, Metalhead ... always singing about booze and drugs and satan

Nightwish: Hold my Tiktaalik fossil

[edvinkappel]

i feel that no artist/band is better than nightwish and i dont no why i am feeling that way. and i know that are bands that are great.

[jamesflickermen]

Floor has one of them smiles that makes other people smile.

[webkinzlover]

65 years old and I haven't been able to find a thing that I don't like about this group. Incredible.

[bruceoverman]

Nightwish is the best discovery of the Pandemic for me. I still cant believe how little exposure they have received in North America. This is definitely in my top 5 Nightwish songs so far. I love the lyric video format.

[kylem]

Emppu is really underrated as a guitarist, and seems to be a really humble guy. In a band with so much talent and striking people, lets face it Floor is gorgeous, his guitar really is a massive part of the Nightwish experience.

I am 67 years old, and I sloppy cry every time I watch this.

[ivanjohansen]

I have just found Nightwish!68 years old! The best music I have ever heard.Floor is a delight:

[naturalistwarrior]

''Our floating pale blue ark'' is the most inspiring line in this music video! 🌎

[moretallicabass]

I still cant get over how good this album is. Music takes a back seat nowdays, in the background on the way to work or while you're busy browsing facebook. This is the first album for a good 10 years to make me stop what I was doing and listen, really listen whilst studying the beautiful 2CD case/book, reading the lyrics.

It really embodies the name, an endless form, most beautiful.

[sheilasaiz]

I'm a Biologist and I love this song! Thank you so much for writing this beautiful song. I love Floor :D

[chpstxZ]

The subtle thing I've noticed about this video is just how relaxed they all look. Floor has done wonders for this band.

[linguaphile]

Nightwish may change their singers. What they have never changed is this feeling of romanticism. Their music romanticizes nature, love, childhood, science... My favorite band, I've listened to their music uninterruptedly for almost fifteen years now and still feel deeply connected to both their lyrics and their sound.

[worroSfOretsevraH]

Floor has a very professional, well trained crystal clear voice.

[ZankuroMinazuki]

I love absolutely everything about the way Floor says Tiktaalik!
