This is much more than music. I cannot picture a human creating something as intense as this song. Ulver has outpaced man.
i listen to this song midnights...since my father passed away..about a year...cry in my room while i looking at his picures..love u dad...i never had a chance to say how much i love u and need you when u were alive and u really needed it.. i left u to die alone..and now i die everyday
same here. I left my old man dying alone in a war torn country. I feel you. I feel this song.
Please consider that he aknowledges your feelings towards him from far away. Spirits never die, he ceased his precious existence, but he is alive, somewhere. Be in peace fellow stranger. Your love elevates you =)
What a loss, hope Tore found his peace!
3:40 FINE, I don't WANNA play drums on this song ANYWAY.
lol,
They tried to do the album entirely without percussion, but he said that it was just too essential for rhythm so they caved on some of the other tracks
The sun is far away
It goes in circles
Someone dies
Someone lives
In pain
It is burning
Into the thin air
Of the nature
Of a culture
On the dark side
Under the moon
The wolves gather

This has been my ultimate comfort song, when feeling depressed, the album in general is pretty comforting.
EOS forever my favorite song from all my life. This is a total experience. This is not just a song. This is a call for the soul. ❤
Goodbye and good night, dearest Tore
It just gives me the goosebumps everytime. A song that I can't consume...
Absolutely gorgeous and haunting. Ulver, in recent times, have produced some of the most emotionally evocative musical pieces I have ever heard and it is a sign that the true spirit of music flows through the veins of these individuals. And while it is primarily unnoticed by the multitudes it makes it all the more precious.
This song live is one of the best things I've seen in my life!
When this album came out I was blown away by this song. To this day I still never get over how beautiful it is. So emotional and nostalgic.
The part at End if from a poem to the god shiva called “shiva manas pooja” who’s known as the creator protecter and the destroyer of the universe embodied as shiva. Shiva is The emptiness which all things arise from and goes back in to. Poem Goes as …..
O Ocean of mercy, O master of bound creatures, I have imagined a throne of precious stones for you, cool water for you to bathe in, divine robes adorned with many jewels, sandalwood paste mixed with musk to anoint your body, jasmine and Champaka flowers and bilva leaves, rare insense, and a shining flame. Accept all these which i have imagined in my heart for you, O God. || 1 ||
Whenever I see a sunrise/sunset this song plays in my head. So beautifully haunting.
This version is even better than the version on CD. Amazing!
This album doesn't have a dull moment.
I can listen to "shadows of the sun" millions of times!
“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence- whether much that is glorious- whether all that is profound- does not spring from disease of thought- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Complete Tales and Poems
L'unica pecca di questo pezzo sono i suoi effetti collaterali, perchè dopo avere ascoltato qualcosa del genere...non puoi ascoltare nient' altro.
E' sublime!
At the end, that image... literally "under the moon the wolves (Ulver) gather".
Per sempre Ulver!
closing song of Life..
I almost died this year because of an illness.I used to go in cemeteries waiting for my turn.Eos was one of the song I listened everyday during that period.
nobody can be bored when confronted with such beauty. He is meditating, absorbing the music
Vorrei non finisse mai.
how the hell did they sounds that good O.O they totally nailed it.
It makes me think about who or what am I and what existence is?
Magnifica!! Arte e bellezza sublime!!! Gli Ulver sono unici, geniali e meravigliosi. EnzoItaly
Magnífico!
Shivers on my spine. Marvelous.
i can't be bored to listen a millions of billions of times this...., Garm, you are a genius
Ulver => colossal love
Goosebumps....
@dresXCI I saw your message in the description of this video and it urged me to buy the BluRay from kscope, so I did. I got it in the mail a couple of days ago and now I've watched it. The concert is fantastically mind-blowing. I've never seen such a powerful live performance in my life. Rock Massif especially overwhelmed me. It was really worth the buy.
So, thank you for your encouragement to buy this masterpiece :)
Everything Ulver touches turns to gold.
...and you instantly know that it comes from Norway.
RIP💔
Tore
Masterpiece!
the greatest band on earth...thank you Ulver!
This song was already an experience to transcend reality, but the sound of this version is something else, it's like a memory before I was even born, a memory amid complete nothingness.
Thanks for mentioning that. I had so much trouble finding these vocals on youtube again. This prayer sounds so familiar even though I don't know much about hinduism.
Even in the hour of tears, with that eternal knot in my throat, even when my fists clench and the world seems full of absurdity and meaninglessness, even in that moment of liquid despair, I close my eyes and remember. I remember that I live in the world where you existed, that your heart and mine beat in unison more than once, that I breathed your air and you breathed mine, that we were together as creatures under the dome of this sky. And my soul calms down, under the weight of your soul, I feel your immortal embrace through the fine iridescent layers of time. Far away, in the tangled web that our lives were, deep within the intricate fabric of our realities, you and I embrace, unchanging and eternal, sustained by something more primordial than love
Amazing track and fantastic band!
GORGEOUS! HERMOSA CANCIÓN! TOQUE DIVINO!
It goes in circles...
Ufff taht bumps
in speed of light when you arrive out of the tunnel
eu conheci faz pouco tempo o ulver gosto muito dos som eletronico com piano guitarras e outros elementos eu gosto muito
At the ending, Garm put his hands as if he was praying, is the ending some prayer chant?
Obra de arte absoluta
😢 a great moment in the life
Ulver = Eos = Love
Kristofer's voice is just amazing.
That's an amazing composition! What do you think? Very touching song...
Hermosa canción. Me transporta...

Alchemists.
The Norwegian National Opera ..
Masterpiece
Beautiful in hd
this wouldn't seem odd if it was in an anathema album.
Anathema And Ulver should Collaborate in One Album. I am sure it'll be one of the best album. Their Vocal, Atmosphere. Instrumention everything is awesome
Magnificente.
In my video suggestions rn is 'meet the forgotten hitler who killed 15 million Africans...'
Usually Ulver's shit (what I've seen at least) just gives the 'the world is dark and scary but life goes on' feeling, but this one is just the complete loss of hope.
it's burning...
ho
ly
shit
I can't even being to describe how great this is
Masterpiece amk yerinde!
really beautiful
NOW OFFICIAL: The songbook/sheet music from Shadows of the Sun is now up for sale at: www.ravenmusic.org

Amazing
just art.
This will be my funeral song
i'd get on a plane from australia and watch ballet just to see this live
Surreal 🖤
Beautiful
Aeos must be played in Mosques and churches , Temples instead of Holy fuckin books
shiver and shiver
the greatest of them all!
just beautiful :')
Sublime
Eos means light in ancient Greek,Garm=Eos.
Fucking Amazing, Listen after taking marijuana. 🙃😊🙃😊🙃😊🙃
Шедеврально!
Sadly, or maybe fortunately, because we are nowhere near close to a trillion humans. But I agree, it should have a billion more.
flawless
Ok ANYBODY, ANYBODY can tell me what sanskrit verses are the ones played in the end?
I am a from a Hindu family but I cant figure out where these slokas are from. I would be grateful
Closing Mantra is an excerpt from the Shiva Manasa Puja Mantra in Sanskrit. And the English translation I found goes as:
I offer you an imaginary throne made of precious jewels, I offer you bath in the water of melted snow from the Himalayas, I offer you holy silken cloth to wear, I adorn you with very many precious jewels, I offer you musk and sandal, I offer you Bilwa and Champaka flowers, And I offer you the holy lamp, But all these I offer in the portal of my mind, I have prepared all these in my mind with devotion I offer you song and dance, I offer you full prostration…And many hymns I offer you…"
Rip t ylvisaker 🕯🎹

Shiverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
