This song reminds me of rock and metal buddies from school.

@@АндрейКузнецов-е2э Що ти забув на території чужої країни? Прийшов вбивати ? Хто на кого напав ? Україна ж напевно вас бомбить і вбиває ваших дітей, чи може навпаки ? Одним Домбасом обійшлися ?

2004 late at night on the highway with friends on a weekend trip to Munich. The car shot like an arrow through the darkness above the asphalt, accompanied by this song, Tarja Turunen's fantastic voice, and the overwhelming feeling of weightlessness in an infinite black space. Back then, the song took us to our destination. Today it takes me back to a glorious past. As 2024 approaches its end, who else is listening?
Perfect description. I was in a dark place back then too. Listening to this in the obscurity of my rented apartment while studying in university Ina far away place. It didn't helped my sister used to sing this. So sometimes had to listen to this. Among the other metal bands that were my drug to Overcoming moments of loneliness
This song was written for the August 11 solar eclipse in 1999. I still remember the strange darkness and chill setting in the middle of a sunny day. And six days later, right on Tarja's birthday, we had the biggest earthquake in our history (until then, unfortunately we had a bigger one last month) and our lives have never been the same again. This song means so much to me.
I loved this era of Nightwish. No disrespect to the bands new direction. This is the Nightwish I grew up with, and will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Such a unique sound. Her voice and the music...... Haunting indeed. I could never get rid of this song, since I first found it, in 2003.... It keeps haunting me.
I'm from Finland but I dare to say I'm not biased to say this country is indeed beatiful. Forests and definitely our lakes are magnificent. The only thing I'd like to have is mountains which we don't have.
This comment is for my amazing dad, with whom I never had a chance to say goodbye❤️ My father loved metal and this band was one of his favorites. When I hear this song, I want to cry because the last thing we could do for him was to pick his favorite songs, including this one, and let them play at his funeral. The cancer he had once defeated has returned, and unfortunatelly he lost his fight. He died when I was child but I will love him forever and he will never be forgotten.
I heard this song for the first time in 2005. It completely fascinated me and it still fascinates me today. Tarja and Nightwish became my band of choice. I still listen to Tarja and Nigthwish today. I'm just very sorry I didn't have time to visit their concert with Tarja and Marko Hietala. I am 73 years old and in December I was at the Nigtwish concert in Prague. At least I got my wish that way.
For the first time listening to Nigtwish (2023), I'm still stunned by the lyrics, voice, music, expression, simply just amazing, never before have I heard something like this ❤ Wish I had heard it a decade ago.
@@flemmingfisker3847 @flemmingfisker3847 The Kinslayer, End of all hope, astral romance, ghost love score... Songs you MUST listen to. The golden age of nightwish was definietly with tarja.
2007 for me. It was used by a fan in an Anime Music Video over scenes of sad character deaths -- couldn't care about most of them, but the song utterly captivated me. And the video got deleted so I was looking for so long for it, then I got the song recommended to me randomly two years later. And I didn't have the song's name or even the people who made it. I was looking with utterly nothing. 'Wait,' I said to myself when I saw the track listed. 'Sleeping Sun... Why does that stick out to me?' And I listened to it and I was immediately gasping with shock because it was _that_ song. And I immediately started listening to Elvenpath and Ever Dream and the covers of Phantom Of The Opera and Walking In The Air. Tarja was already gone by that point - it was around the release of Imaginaerum. But I discovered a great band thanks to this song.
Who else is listening to this powerful and awe inspiring song in Summer 2022? I am and still tears of sheer raw emotions continue to fall like magick even now! Tarja is Queen!!
Lyric here: The sun is sleeping quietly Once upon a century Wistful oceans calm and red Ardent caresses laid to rest For my dreams I hold my life For wishes I behold my night The truth at the end of time Losing faith makes a crime I wish for this night-time To last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you Sorrow has a human heart From my god it will depart I'd sail before a thousand moons Never finding where to go Two hundred twenty-two days of light Will be desired by a night A moment for the poet's play Until there's nothing left to say I wish for this night-time To last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you I wish for this night-time To last for a lifetime The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea Oh how I wish to go down with the sun Sleeping Weeping With you
Nightwish at their peak indeed! I cannot imagine a better music video. The cinematography, the beautiful Finnish nature and of cource the unbelivingly beautiful song. ❤
The greatest light lyric soprano ever to grace the earth. A very pleasant and moody video as well. How is Tarja not as famous in America as in Europe? She makes Celine look like an amateur.
Literally, Fuck any One who evem Tries to sing her very own personal masterpiece.. its only meant for her and people like our ears who can truly appteciate it only!!~☆♡☆
This song is basically an honoring song for sunken ships, and probably the last song you will hear onboard a ship. Still, it's a masterpiece and should never die.
Many tried to copy her, some reach higher, others lower, another bunch can do both while juggling some balls but no one can quite match her power and most of all her exquisite timbre, the Tarja era songs live forever unmatched and unsurmountable. Long live the Siren!

@@marcbloemen2082 anette is the worst fit for nightwish, floor is amazing on a few songs and decent on most songs, tarja is amazing in every song, floor only beats tarja in Ghost Love Score. Fact
Tarja owns it in this original studio version, but live she struggled with the breathing at times. Floor never struggles with breathing, but whether you prefer one voice or another on a particular song is just a matter of personal preference.
Чё вы за бред здесь городите!..... Кто какого года её слушает... Я вообще только в том году начал её слушать!.... И что?! Я сейчас сейчас самый яростный поклонник! Мне вообще пофигу когда вы слушаете....
TheHuntercry wait wut? since when is this a cover? as far as I know, Tuomas Holopainen wrote it in 1999 for the solar eclipse in that year. Sure, they rereleased it in 2005 (with a medieval battle as background in the video), but I never heard that this version here is a cover Oo Would you care to explain? Ok, it WAS covered later, but not by Nightwish
@FoolishImpresario 410 Actually, it is. Its art that you hear, not see. When you search for an album or song, it always lists the musician as the "artist".
2024, the song take me to 7 october, to the sunrise at 06:30 when my friends died on the music festival. All were young, kind and spiritual people. "I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime". Because they were dancing and happy at night, before the red dawn.
Какая шикарная песня! Я к сожалению, только сейчас её услышал. Голос , удивительный, до мурашек пробирает! И клип удачный. Одно дополняет другое! Очень классно получилось! РЕСПЕКТ!
Голос очень похож, если (не есть) на академический (оперный). Так и есть, прочитал сейчас, она базовая академическая вокалистка. (Сегодня впервые услышал эту группу, поэтому раньше не знал, но слух мой не подвёл меня.)

This song makes me understand when people used to cry when they listening to music like orchestras and operas. I never cry, but this song often makes me choke up a bit and send shivers down my spine. I love it so so much.

Heard this song back in 2005 and it was this specific version. Everytime I hear this, it’s like I transition back to that 5 year old watching animations on my old computer that would barely run. Absolutely brings back so much memories when this song comes on❤️
Are you 71, years old? It's fantastic how the older generations even got to experience the internet. I wish i got to experience the world WITHOUT internet, since there's no turning back now. Internet will rule everyone's life from now on...

I may get hate for this, but I think Tarja was the one that made Nightwish really special. Yes, Toumas is a fantastic composer but Tarja's voice is needed to complete his music.
Before, I did not understand how singing, soulfulness, and the openness of the voice can penetrate so beautifully in this life, it is simply unique, you inspire hope with your singing. ♥️♥️♥️
Reason why this is my favorite Nightwish song is because this was written for solar eclipse on August 11st, 1999. That was also my birthday so interesting coincidence

Couldn't agree more. The way she was fired from the group is a disgrace for the group and I hate to say that no party benefit from this action. It reminds me of the story of Guns N' Roses - that band was never the same without Slash as well.
that you very right, this is best song what they ever done, i like carpenter too but this is all time best masterpiece from this band, i dont like new nightwish anymore!
James hetfield neither i do. since 2005, nightwish is not nightwish. i still didnt hear their last album elan, and i m not interesting in do it. floor jansen forgive me but i prefer tarja, but before her than that annoyed girl annete olzon the worst singer. by floor i just enjoy the inslander song, but tarja is eternal, tarja forever. i dont enjoy new nightwish. nightwish .... r.i.p 1996 - 2005 ❤ ever ( i.m.o ).
Women endowed with such phenomenal and unearthly vocals as Tarja Turunen or Sharon Del Adel are genuinely gifted with talent by the Creator - God himself. Their voice is out of this planet!
20 years ago, i was a 13 year scared little spanish girl when i first listen to this song, i couldnt understant it but i start crying, i promise myself that one day i would see that magic place. Today im listening this song in a lake of rovaniemi, im still crying like the first time. I have seen you guys in concert many times, and you are great, but being here in finland... its because of your music, you make people happy, you change lives. Kittos. And the rest is paska.
I remember I was a teenager when I first heard this song. And now I remember it and listen to it again when I'm 33. It's a great song and one of the best from Nightwish. Its EPICo! Love it. Hello from Ukraine 🙋🏻♂
In my opinion, one of the most iconic Nightwish song.
Never gets old, always goosebumps.

The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

She has the voice of an angel.
Can't argue with that

Yes & marco,Anette & Floor: very good singers but Tarja: the fucking unbeatable queen👑

Her voice. The words. A POWER HOUSE.
I have loved every era of Nightwish over the years but Tarja was really amazing!!!
Me too the era of Nightwish ... Tarja is amazing ❤
Супер!!! Выехали, однажды, на вылазку - костер, шашлык, веселье и ... заиграла эта музыка... большенство из нас заплакали... Браво!!!
Небо голубое и жёлтая земля. Знаково.
Прекрасная песня. Согласен!!!
Плюсую

It's my first time listening to Tarja's voice in years... Floor and Anette were very good singers. Tarja was simply amazing.
in YEARS? WTF HOW DARE YOU wdf?!?.
Comment interacton 😍
Anette, yes. Floor? Well....yes, but not in NW.
NOBODY can beat Tarja
@@marcbloemen2082 anette is the worst fit for nightwish, floor is amazing on a few songs and decent on most songs, tarja is amazing in every song, floor only beats tarja in Ghost Love Score. Fact
Tarja owns it in this original studio version, but live she struggled with the breathing at times. Floor never struggles with breathing, but whether you prefer one voice or another on a particular song is just a matter of personal preference.
Есть любители этого творчества в 2024?) Эх воспоминания былого , приятно окунуться в прошлое с такой музыкой
Впервые услышала о Найтвиш в этом году и вот прослушиваю вновь и вновь.
Её голос, это что то. Обожаю
Чё вы за бред здесь городите!..... Кто какого года её слушает...
Я вообще только в том году начал её слушать!.... И что?! Я сейчас сейчас самый яростный поклонник! Мне вообще пофигу когда вы слушаете....

let's take a moment to appreciate the 90's vibes of this clip like the simple special effects, the velvet dress and her hairstyle :D
Marina ramalho You so beautiful)))))
U want to hear good vibes? Listen to 1979 smashing pumpkins
Hius tyylistä en sano mitään ei kiinnosta
Only Tarja can power up the soul with this music.11/10 for this masterpiece 🥰
I'd also check out Natalia Tsarikova's cover.
Only 11 out of 10. Is worth at least another three or four.
Tarja is the best! Beautiful angel voice ♥️
Music is music, but this song is pure magic. Immortal, timeless and beautiful.
My favorite Nightwish song.
TheHuntercry
wait wut? since when is this a cover? as far as I know, Tuomas Holopainen wrote it in 1999 for the solar eclipse in that year. Sure, they rereleased it in 2005 (with a medieval battle as background in the video), but I never heard that this version here is a cover Oo
Would you care to explain?
Ok, it WAS covered later, but not by Nightwish
Моя тоже
@@ChasingTheGhost me too
Боже это прекрасно. Голос прям из глубины души. Бриллиант. 💙💙💙
Это просто божественно
И нет слов! одни эмоции!
Вика я слышал это в живую.Только Тайра может это спеть
Amei essa música
Соглашусь! Z
The best of Nightwish, simply the best. After they never reached this level of art. So sad.
They're as good now, if not better.
@@pdcmoreira I can only agree with the last two words of your sentence.
@FoolishImpresario 410 Actually, it is. Its art that you hear, not see. When you search for an album or song, it always lists the musician as the "artist".
Nightwish is toumas not tarja...
@FoolishImpresario 410 Nooot really??
2024, the song take me to 7 october, to the sunrise at 06:30 when my friends died on the music festival. All were young, kind and spiritual people. "I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime". Because they were dancing and happy at night, before the red dawn.
I think about sinking ships
They will be allways in our hearts! Stay strong!
Forget my heart will go on, this is the TRUE sinking ship song
You can't forget the masterpiece so easily like that :(
@@Versada42 And Zero to Hero for the Olympic.
@@kabkaba8297 idk
That's about solar eclipse , you idiots!
Although I can agree , that is much better song , then "my heart will go on"
@@kabkaba8297 idk maybe it has to do with lots of ships sinking at night
Simply beautiful. I could seriously die to this song.
Какая шикарная песня! Я к сожалению, только сейчас её услышал. Голос , удивительный, до мурашек пробирает! И клип удачный. Одно дополняет другое! Очень классно получилось! РЕСПЕКТ!
Я тоже только сегодня узнал конкретно об этой песне, хотя в целом о Найтвиш и Тайре давно знаю 😅
Голос очень похож, если (не есть) на академический (оперный).
Так и есть, прочитал сейчас, она базовая академическая вокалистка.
(Сегодня впервые услышал эту группу, поэтому раньше не знал, но слух мой не подвёл меня.)
лучше поздно, чем вообще не услышать! это то, ради чего возникло человечество и чем оно может похвалиться на фоне всего того пздца что происходит…
Lyric:
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
To last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
This song makes me understand when people used to cry when they listening to music like orchestras and operas. I never cry, but this song often makes me choke up a bit and send shivers down my spine. I love it so so much.
"I never cry" 🧢
@@jhannahj i know. that sounded weird. we all do
U might if u was there actually listening to it being performed live
Maybe psychopaths dont cry or they pretend not to. But well, I understand, they represent at least 1% of all of this shitty human kind.
@@jhannahj
This is Tarja at her majestic best. Absolutely, utterly, awesome. Take that, pop music, and learn what real music is.
lol Ik this comment is a year old but I can't say you were wrong. Pop music and especially K-pop is so overrated. In another thousand years they still couldn't beat music like this
sorry...can you praise someone/something without lowering another thing? Tarja is great not by even lowering other music you know :)
@@nguyenvincent708 but most pop music is shallow. This music makes us better people.
Nunca hubo ni habrá una voz tan hermosa y divina como la de Tarja. Este maravilloso poema hecho canción es bellísimo.
Totalmente

De echo la ponen en un vídeo del undimiento del Titanic
Gott was für eine himmlische Version!😢😢❤So emotional..so wunderschön..mit kamen nur die Tränen..weil ich so gerührt war...all die Gedanken liefen ab wie in einem Film..! Diese Stimme ist Magie f.mich..eine der Besten für mich i.meinem ganzen Leben seit ich 16 Jahre bin..40 Jahre nun...🎉❤
For me, this is the greatest metal ballad of all time but just this version, with this video...
I'm 21 and I can't believe I will never see Nightwish (with Tarja) perform live...
I'm listening to it when i'm sad... It doesn't help but it fills my ears with poetry !
The song, yes. But the video is dire. Reminds me of Harry secome walking around the countryside bellowing at mother nature.

Heard this song back in 2005 and it was this specific version. Everytime I hear this, it’s like I transition back to that 5 year old watching animations on my old computer that would barely run.

Oh my God! What a soul-stirring performance! Why oh why did I have to be 71 years old before hearing this for the first time?!
Are you 71, years old?
It's fantastic how the older generations even got to experience the internet.
I wish i got to experience the world WITHOUT internet, since there's no turning back now.
Internet will rule everyone's life from now on...
@@robins4209 LOL. As a retired engineer, I've been involved with the internet since the beginning. And I remember the "ancient" pre-internet days as well. It's been quite a ride!
@@wacoflyer Too bad i never got to experience that life, i was born in 2001 and by the time i was old enough to remember anything, the internet was already up and running.

Who is watching this video in 2024?
Me ans many others i hope
Just finished watching Dan Vasc’s brilliant cover of this song. So had to come listen to the original
One of the best songs written. Was half expecting a few sinking ships in the video
That brought me here
Yup it was
I see we watched the same videos as kids
Absolutely LOVE this song and Nightwish, with Tarja!!! Tarja's voice is angelic!
For me, this song (in this version) is the most beautiful metal ballad of all time. And the video only makes it even better.
Who loves this song??🖤🖤🖤
I may get hate for this, but I think Tarja was the one that made Nightwish really special. Yes, Toumas is a fantastic composer but Tarja's voice is needed to complete his music.
+Alexei Ramotar His songs could but borrow her grace?
+Alexei Ramotar Nej, I agree. Tarja has a fabulous voice, no offense to Floor but Tarja is is in a whole level to herself in my humble opinon.
no. weakest of the three singers
Sorry but compleatly disagree I could not say if the strongest singer is Floor or Tarja, but in terms of ability and range Annet was the weakest.
AGREED!!!!!!!!!! Mis you Tarja
I cry every single time I hear this song. Is very important for me.
T.T
Music speaks to the soul. Words are silent there.
Hugs!
I think about ships
one of the best human vocals - it cuts you like a knife cuts butter - very deep, powerful but gentle all the same
Before, I did not understand how singing, soulfulness, and the openness of the voice can penetrate so beautifully in this life, it is simply unique, you inspire hope with your singing. ♥️♥️♥️
An unreal masterpiece. Over 20 years later it still brings tears. It really grips from first second to the last.
This really is still about one of my favourites from Nightwish.
Opera and rock can live together 😎
хуй его знает что ты написал но очень интересно
many genres go well with metal/rock so long as people arent closed minded douche bags.
Thank you Tarja
Reason why this is my favorite Nightwish song is because this was written for solar eclipse on August 11st, 1999. That was also my birthday so interesting coincidence
Perfection. Simply perfection.
This is so beautiful! Her voice is so heavenly... 🥲

ok for the lyrics but the spelling is wrong are u a bad grammar
Wonderful song, masterpiece
Definetly the best song by Nightwish. This were the good times of nightwish.Miss Tarja. Is not the same without her.
+ Thomas Pole Hey Thomas Info Tarja kommt im Oktober nach Hamburg im Docks !! Gr Outlaw S
agree with you
Y E S
Couldn't agree more. The way she was fired from the group is a disgrace for the group and I hate to say that no party benefit from this action. It reminds me of the story of Guns N' Roses - that band was never the same without Slash as well.
they would not be where they are right now if it was not for Tarja.
Песня затрагивающая душу,сердце...всё...Я в восторге,спасибо
Wow....this is incredible. I think this may be the best song I have ever heard.
that you very right, this is best song what they ever done, i like carpenter too but this is all time best masterpiece from this band, i dont like new nightwish anymore!
James hetfield neither i do. since 2005, nightwish is not nightwish. i still didnt hear their last album elan, and i m not interesting in do it. floor jansen forgive me but i prefer tarja, but before her than that annoyed girl annete olzon the worst singer. by floor i just enjoy the inslander song, but tarja is eternal, tarja forever. i dont enjoy new nightwish.
nightwish .... r.i.p 1996 - 2005 ❤ ever ( i.m.o ).

Рад за тебя, тебе круто подвезло
20 years ago, i was a 13 year scared little spanish girl when i first listen to this song, i couldnt understant it but i start crying, i promise myself that one day i would see that magic place. Today im listening this song in a lake of rovaniemi, im still crying like the first time. I have seen you guys in concert many times, and you are great, but being here in finland... its because of your music, you make people happy, you change lives. Kittos. And the rest is paska.
I remember I was a teenager when I first heard this song. And now I remember it and listen to it again when I'm 33. It's a great song and one of the best from Nightwish.
Its EPICo! Love it. Hello from Ukraine 🙋🏻♂
