Official music video for “Noise“, taken from the 2020 NIGHTWISH album, Human. :||: Nature. “Noise is a reminder. It’s some food for thought. I see it more as an optimistic video than pessimistic. Especially the last 10 seconds of the video, when you see the beautiful forest and the landscape, it should fill you with hope the real world is still out there. This video is not a criticism about technology or cell phones. Me, all the bandmembers, we love technology. We wouldn’t ever have done this record without technology. We love our cell phones, the Internet and all that, but it’s a criticism for the addiction that these things cause in human beings. ’Addiction’ is the word. It’s such a shame that we have all these wonderful tools that we can for the good, to spread true information and to be connected to the world. I love the idea of social media, I like Twitter, that everybody in the world suddenly has a voice; we have a voice. We can immediately get out there. It’s just a matter of what you put out there. And that’s what the video is all about.“ - Tuomas Holopainen [id4857686|@nightwish] is: Tuomas Holopainen @FloorJansenOfficial @MARKOHIETALAOFFICIAL Emppu Vuorinen Troy Donockley Kai Hahto FOLLOW NIGHTWISH: Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Mailing list - Merchandise - Spotify - Apple Music - Music: Tuomas Holopainen Lyrics: Tuomas Holopainen Sound Engineer: Tero Kinnunen Mixed by Mikko Karmila Mastered by Mika Jussila Video directed by: Stobe Harju Music Publisher: Potoska Publishing Ltd NOISE LYRICS: Crave the machine Revere the screen Zoom in for flak and misery Bleed some pixels Shoot yourself Pose for the dead Have a near-life experience In a hot air matrix Now you’re a star Vain avatar Feeding the beast In your loud Egoland You have become Tool of a tool Digital ghouls Telling you to Shut up and dance! Color a yarn and the crowds will gather Noise From a sunless world Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back At a slave of brave new world Noise To decoy the human voice Brain insomniac, paranoiac Endless noise Please love me See how I bleed Please endure I have such empathy in me Hum, noise, hum Beautifully numb Tapping the quiet air To have a meaning By a carrion Sad hologram Lost in the maze The real and human feel Sunset is free From this deity The Earth has a real voice Go out and get in I will follow Color a yarn and the crowds will gather Feast your eyes on the black mirror Feed the beast, join the gathering Tell a tale Feast of fears is drawing nearer Beyond the human horizon Something terrifying sleeps
