Id drive the thirty minutes in frequently to see it. And now with the gardens open there is a great space on the front side of the lagoon to chilax in prior to the show.

Didn't all the Hearts fire last night? I thought I counted 6...
Never mind. I don't think I'm on the same thing as you are.

Not the heartbeats that shoot from barges towards guests.
The ones that fly up in the air is what I'm referring to. There was only 5 total last night.

On second thought, maybe there is something more to this show!

I know a few people were able to Shazam a couple of the pre show songs last night, was anyone able to get a more full list tonight??

I did!
Important note: at EPCOT, some songs are shortened to accommodate the drum circle from 9:27-9:30 PM.

We'll wait and see, a few days more, there may be something there that wasn't there before.

I've watched it a couple times on video today, which is as far from my feelings on HARM. So take that for what it is. 
I will say I also just watched a video of the Peace on Earth tag. That done on this new infrastructure could be absolutely incredible. And it could blend very nicely with this show's story as well.

Something I felt last night watching the show was that this show had that EF and Harm lacked: longevity and people’s relation with the show growing positive over time
Even though there were parts and aspects of the show I didn’t really like or relate to, I could easily see some people relating to them.
I also noticed that the people who don’t like this show are people who really liked Harmonious and “didnt want to be reminded of death or sadness in a theme park”. This just proved to me that this is a deeper show, which is EXACTLY what Epcot needed
I’m so glad people are warming up to the show, it is something you absolutely need to see in person though to really form an accurate opinion. After watching some videos after last night, the pyro didn’t seem impressive, but watching it in person was a different story. The 360 degree pyro from the center barge legitimately made my jaw drop, but it’s something that wouldn’t over a screen.

Definitely a show that grows on people over time

Something new tonight I didn’t see last night, a final burst very low, possibly from the new centre barge contraption, as it finishes lowering.
Unsure if just a misfire or a missing effect from last night?
(32:57-33:08)

Ah, so it got buried last night, where as now it’s the very final moment.

I would think that the new version of Peace of earth tag (the song currently used at World of Color: Season of Light) would be the perfect fit for the Epcot's holiday tag (assuming that they announce the new one next year or so instead of reusing ROE's holiday tag). Just imagine Peace of Earth finale at WOC: Season of Light using the fountains and lights, if they using it as Epcot's new holiday tag for Luminous, they could be extramile bigger as they using fireworks for the finale like the original peace on earth tag during ROE era.

I’d prefer a whole holiday show like WoC Winter Dreams or Season of Light. But with no projections that may be a challenge. I’m sure they could add projections of some sort though if they wanted to.

A few pages back I mentioned one song I had stored in a playlist, it was "Ghost Dance" which I discovered back in June. Glad they ran with real songs and not generic Audio Network. Really felt like a commercial.

So it's actually 50/50 original to IP
Definitely, it blends with the opening sequence seamlessly and the drum sounds are consistent in the first part of the show.For some reason on Day 2 everything seems to come out better. Probably the visuals got tweaked as may have been mentioned on this thread.

Saw the new show last night (12/5) and tonight (12/6), loved the presentation, but really did not like most the music. It was to up and down with no great climax (Kinda like a bad roller coaster). Especially the section about being alone. The whole show felt like a bunch of smaller shows are ran together. The other problem I had, was that it was hard to understand the vocals of the music because of the fireworks. I think that is where Illuminations got it right, very little singing, and strong, loud music that told the story!
I was surrounded by families where I was standing by Canada, and most of the kids had lost interest and were wanting to leave within the first 5-7 minutes. This actually made me happy, because they left, and my view of the lagoon kept getting better.
At least it is a huge improvement over Epcot Forever, and Harmonious.
Hey Disney, how about a soundtrack that is story based, and not IP driven. That was part of the reason Harmonious didnt succeed. If I wanted an IP based show, I would go to Magic Kingdom or Studios.

I am sure my opinions will be either liked or torn apart.
