And again I have to repeat what I said before - it happened! This is one of my beloved NW songs - regardless of who sings it - I emphasize it! I met this song thanks to Tarja - it's understandable because there was no other version back then. I won't lie - I didn't pay any particular attention to it while listening to the studio version - just - a nice song. But when I heard it live - ooo, that's a completely different story - I fell in love with this song. That's why I often say that it's worth listening to Nightwish live - they add something - often elusive, but that makes a difference! And then came the Floor era. I was very careful about listening to her version of this song for the first time, I didn't know what Floor would do with her, I loved Tarja's version and couldn't imagine another one. Please, old NW fans - I'm one after all - don't shoot me! Tarja made me fall in love with this song - can you also love the other version? You can - Floor can do it! Tarja made me love it, Floor grabbed my heart, grabbed me by the throat and knocked me to the ground - I'm still lying there when I listen to Her version and I come back to it often. You said listening to Floor - "Completely different - but how beautiful!" - and this is it - that's how Floor sings older songs, does not copy, but creates his own versions - beautiful versions! I love both versions the same - great song!

Why you....Hihihi!! I just do not get this! If you prefer a version with a certain singer it's your business. We react to songs from different perspectives. I sometimes scratch my head with those endless wars between Targaryens, Tullys and Starks with talking points like : This is the definitive version. It's not a competition! I have my preferences just like any regular guy. As an old fan(wearing my Oceanborn shirt) I only warmed up to this song just recently. I am still on the fence with this song. You can throw darts at me all you want. Ballads(except Dead Boy's Poem) are not my go to songs. I appreciate the significance of Sleeping Sun on fans. Tarja has her style and Floor like you said is not a copycat. I recognise both the technique and emotion every singer brought to Nightwish. Do not get me wrong it's an important song! Peace out!

Perfect words Merek i do i like them. No need to choose,we have not a competition here, every one taste are different like the era who followed the band, it's very understandable and respect it. I have just a different approach to some of the fans because never had no one interesting to lishening the past of them but have opinion for everything, this is what I never understood. I do i like Tarja's first version but I like the next one. I love Annete's version very different but also great and i find Floor's version fantastic also. Four different versions but the same fantastic song. Tuomas wrote history,he is the greatest of all. Be happy and healthy!!!

I watch and can not help but to fall in love with Tarja all over again. Fact I am only a year older than her. Hard to believe I was ever so young. Not a comment about how others do it or better or preferred. Just how Tarja's ascending effervescent joy is so clear and grabs hold of my heart. She just does it for me. I only speak to how much I love and applicate the melody and the artist.

Late comment, but that's the Finnish sadness you hear in her which is quite unique emotional quality and interpretation, somewhat of a national romantic thing, or to a more extent exaggerate and make a joke out it. It's slightly different than for example Russian and Scandinavian melancholy, which makes most Finnish metal bands sound that much different in their melodies and lyrics.

I think this is the first time I heard Floor's version. I was reluctant to hear it as I like Tarja's so much (although I think I prefer Floor for most songs, that I've heard). Glad I did though, as Floor's version is also beautiful and powerful, but different. I think Tarja's sweet dark* rich melancholic vocals just edge it for me, (much as they do in The Siren) but I like them both in different ways. I saw a live video of Annette do a pretty good version too. Floor's style is somewhere between both, while being very much her own. *I don't mean dark in a bad or evil sense. It's just a feel, a colour, that I get from Tarja's voice. I dont mean to be pretentious, but her voice evokes images of dark streams and bubbling brooks.

This one is so soo beautiful. They both approach it completely differently, and it is magnificent in both approaches. And I love love love that Nightwish as a band, as a team, would never just try to imitate what worked so well before with someone else. They always make it their own again. There are no words out there for how much I appreciate just that.

Thank you, in my opinion Tuomas is one of the best composers when it comes to ballads, they are all so beautiful. This song was a request to Tuomas from the German record label for the solar eclipse in Europe in 1999. The song had to be no more than 4 min long, a ballad with a catchy chord. Tuomas didn't reallylike the idea of given so called restrictions to a song, but then he thought why not do a song where we go to sleep with the sun. By this time Nightwish had never been to Germany. This song became a big hit. You should also take a look at one of Nightwish best videos ever made of a song, the 2nd video of this song they made, and you will connect Tarjas beautiful white dress and necklace from the live show, that is really worth watching.

I would really like you to do reactions and analysis of all Nightwish songs, but I understand that you most likely have already listened to all the songs of this great band and your reaction is unlikely to be the same as the first time you listened to them. For me, as an old fan of this band, the era with Tarja is special. It's like first love, it's impossible to forget. That time was real magic.

The song inspired by and at least once performed during a solar eclipse. The original Nightwish sound was not going to be metal. More folk music. Then they met Tarja again after she had finished learning classical singing techniques in Germany. Her voice now much to powerful for folk rock. You will be glad to know her life goes very well. She has a career, fans around the world and she is a wife and a mother . Some people really do get to have it all. She is still humble, kind, generous. Still giving to others. Amazing person and an amazing artist and performer. She does classic hyms, she does Christmas carols , she does classical music and yes symphonic metal as well. The world can use more of such people in it. Kittos =Merci! For what its worth she would have been 26/27 at the time of this concept. Her last with the band.

Floor has managed to put the competitions aside .. how? Giving us versions of equal caliber, in songs that are not written for his voice .. but he manages to captivate you and think .. Do I really need to figure out who is better in this song? No .. Incredibly and like no other band in the world .. We are proud of our past with Tarja, and our present with Floor .. Both sounds make up the perfection, contrast, and how diverse the Nightwish world is. Today Tarja and Floor for the fan of Nightwish, are the Same thing .. They are the majesty in front of a microphone trying to give the best show of their life, one and another night .. And of course, the TOTAL and unanimous acceptance that all the tears shed for happiness come from the mind of this incredible composer that is Tuomas, who brings out the best in each member.

I am a new-old fan. By that, I mean that I reconnect with NW when "Human. :||: Nature." was released last year. On popular demand, I went back into their repertoire (24 songs). Still 10 to go. So, first, I did the "Tarja Era". Even if I discovered her only last year, I completely fell in love the artist, the voice and the repertoire written for her. One day, yes, I will be able to listen closely to her music.

Can it (the melody) be matched? Try Swanheart from the same album. Tuomas has this uncanny ability to craft a heart-wrenching melody almost at will. I agree that I (just) prefer Tarja's version but only because I think the timbre of her voice suits it a bit more. But you're right that Floor did the right thing in not emulating Tarja, but gave us a new way of hearing this beautiful song, and that can only expand the number of good things in the world. Looking forward to the analysis.

This ballad, as originally conceived, fits the mold of "Grand Opera"in its purest sense - replace the electric instruments with a full orchestra and this would be a "hit" for any star soprano, of a caliber at that, of which there are not many in all of Romantic age! It truly seems to touch on Eternity, as you remarked. The funnier then, that "Sleeping Sun" is one of the few songs Tuomas has ever written on demand! :)) I fail to record the full story, but he was asked to pen a song to coincide with a rare total Solar eclipse that took place that year - and was initially reluctant to do it. :) But hey, eclipse in itself is such an inspiring and awesome occurence that when a true poet opens himself to the thought, the words just flow. And as often, here the Cosmic and the deeply human coexist in outstanding verses - the most natural way for a person to perceive the infinite? Finally, after reading the lyrics, I am suprised they are not at all so direct and "clear" as I always thought! As for the performance, Tarja really goes for that majestic delivery, hitting some crazy but smooth notes, cleverly elevated in white above the rest of us mortals - it all sums up into almost ethereal feel so befitting her "aria". Floor, as you noted, chooses another approach, although she has the ability to go there vocally. She really enunciates every phrase, accentuating the rhythmic pulse of the verse (which was lost on me before hearing this version) and offers unmatched expressiveness: beguiling and comforting at once. While Tarja projected a radiant star among the elements of the infinite, here - you are very right! - the visuals that I get are a campfire under the starry sky, or a mother's lullaby even, on a peaceful summer's eve. Either way, this one is of those ballads that shape musical experience and taste of a generation - for mine, it stands along with "Wind of Change" or "Nothing Else Matters". Except that "Sleeping Sun" steps over into the Classical realm as well. A truly universal creation.

For the first time in many years, many reaction videos and many reactors, I've been to the comment section of a Nightwish song and there is actually some good sense between those that prefer Tarja to Floor (or the other way around) when it comes to "the Tarja era songs". "sleeping sun" is just that song that can be sung by anyone on this planet and it will sound amazing, cause it's an amazing song. There's also another version of this song, from a concert with Tarja, featuring Mike Terrana on the drums. "The Beauty and the Beat" I think that's the name of the concert. Both live versions presented here are breathtaking, goosebump material, regardless if it's Tarja or Floor singing. I have my preference, everyone has their preferred version, but they are both simply amazing. Thank you for sharing this

The biggest issue is that the more recent fans, the ones who discovered NW cause they watched their first reactions with Floor as lead singer and didn't even realize that the band had 2 previous lead singers before her. How many times have I read that "Floor owns" this song or that song, despite them being released and sung by the 2 previous singers? If anything, Floor "owns" the songs from her Era as the lead singer. The songs before her were masterly sung by Tarja during her Era and Anette, on the albums that she collaborated with NW. From what I gathered in several interviews, the only lead singer that actually "owns" any songs is Tarja, she has 20% ownership of all the songs she co produced, while she was their lead singer. That's why she still sings many of those songs on her solo live performances. All three are amazing performers, lead singers and frontwomen, regardless of our preference

I'll add a little history about the recording of this masterpiece. As we know Tuomas always writes songs himself, guided by his own thoughts, feelings, emotions and observations. But strangely enough, song Sleeping Sun was written to order. To increase sales, Drakkar Records boss Bogdan Kopek came up with idea of a special edition of album, especially for German market. "On August 11, 1999, there was a total solar eclipse in Europe," says Kopek. "And to commemorate event, I asked Tuomas to write a song. He didn't like it very much, but he wrote 'Sleeping Sun' nonetheless. And fact that we got him to do it was our very great good fortune." For a very long time Tuomas didn't agree to offer because he wasn't tempted by commissioned work. "I was strongly against the idea. They said that song shouldn't be longer than four minutes and that it should be done according to formula of a real hit: a ballad with a catchy chorus. They also said there shouldn't be a guitar solo. That was the original plan. But we did manage to put a solo in song! Composition was released in Germany as a single called Sleeping Sun (4 Ballads of the Eclipse) containing "Walking in the Air", "Swanheart", and Angels Fall First. Despite success of single, Tuomas stuck to his original opinion. "I remember when we did a presentation of song for BMG and German division of Island," says Bogdan Kopek. "Evening was successful in every way, but when we went for a walk planned as part of event, Tuomas told me never again in my life to ask him to write songs for a single. Mssage got through to me - I never asked him to do that again," laughs Kopek. Result of this bespoke work was a great-sounding masterpiece.

Hello again, Guylain! Nice to see you getting acquainted with this marvelous song! Tuomas is great at creating beautiful, remarkable melodies. The fact that they can transcend music genders like you noted is what sets them very far apart from other bands, even ones from the symphonic genre. Unmatched really. Since this song is so even paced it benefits more from the resonance and dramaticity from Tarja's head, operatic voice. The original studio version is my absolute favorite. I think Floor does a very smart approach to the song, singing in a very soft voice and going for it at the end to bring the dramaticity element. She won't try to reproduce vocal qualities Tarja uses in this song (which are Tarja's absolute forte) and I have respect for this. I'm curious about your analysis video now. Tuomas has been pretty straight foward when talking about this song: it's a song written to celebrate a solar eclipse that happened in 1999. It wasn't originally part of Oceanborn, which came out in 1998. It was included later in a reissue.

I think that Tarja's way of singing (always with her signature dramatic and operatic voice) is actually a trademark of her, and it's very clever from Floor not to to try to copy Tarja, not because she wouldn't be able (she actually did it in "Stargazers" ) but because she preferes to create her own version of this song, using the operatic voice only when she thinks it will actually add something to the song. This way Floor's interpretation is unique like Tarja's and the song becomes more personal and "new" again, for all her seasoned listeners.

Same as having her hand around Tuomas' shoulder walking off stage at the end of this very concert, and numerous other moments that we fans "collect". :) I would go out on the limb saying that the current camaraderie within NIGHTWISH is the best I have seen with them yet - or maybe with any band.

Mais je n'y tiens plus, je dois te remercier et te féliciter du plus profond de mon coeur pour le travail exceptionnel que tu fais.

Ce groupe est pour moi unique, je ne suis pas mélomane, je n'aime que très peu de musique, mais Nightwish me donne une force, une énergie absolument unique. Et toi, franciscain du Canada, tu viens me faire redécouvrir ce groupe, me montrer une facette que je n'avais pas toujours pris la peine d'explorer : la poésie et le sens profond des chansons ; et tout ça en toute humilité, en toute bonté ; car cela saute aux yeux et au coeur que tu es un homme profondément bon. Et, de plus, tu es vrai ; j'ai regardé peu de vidéos de réactions de la part d'autres youtubeurs, mais je suis à peu près sûr que peu d'entre eux sont aussi vrais, notamment parce que tu dis aussi quand cela ne te plait pas (The Carpenter notamment, j'attendais de voir ta réaction à celle-là, et encore une fois, j'étais à 100% d'accord avec toi).

Dear Frater Guylain This song has a very special meaning to me as it was my favourite song in the Tarja era. I loved Tarja´s voice and still do. As Anettes voice did not really fit to my ear-drums ( sorry Anette) i stopped hearing NW for a long time. As there was the news that NW got a new vocalist i was very sceptical and did´nt want to waste my time and again be disappointed. It took me 5 years to find the mood to listen to the "new one". After all i took my favourite song and listened to it first with Tarja and then with the "new one". And then happened what you perfectly described Frater. Floor invited me to a campfire to tell me a story ........... But what she did not tell me that this storytelling will cost my soul. And since then.......no day without Floor´s voice......

Ha ha ha! I wrote to her; I recognize her accent. I asked where does she come from? She did not answer me. You confirm that she is a French Canadian. I will look into her rendition of the song. Thanks! I probably subscribed when, in January and February, I was considering the possibility to begin a YT channel of my own. I identified what I liked, and try to do something close to my mind/heart!

This was actually one of the first songs I heard from Nightwish, and the song that made me fall in love with them so many years ago. I found it interesting that you mentioned the similarities to Celtic/Irish melodies, since when I heard the song it was as part of a compilation album called "The Celtic Circle" with lots of different artists from around the world. So you are not alone in hearing the similarities, clearly. I love this song and it's one I come back to over and over again. I actually hadn't heard Floor's version of it before and it made me happy that she decided to make the song entirely her own instead of replicating Tarja's version. As you said, it is the mark of a true artist. Personally, I have a preference for Tarja's version, but I admire both singers equally for their wonderful artistry and musicality. As a singer myself, I can only aspire to be as in tune with my own artistry as both of them are. It brings tears to my eyes watching them perform. So thank you for this lovely reaction. You have gained a new subscriber in me. :)

There is something universal with music. It reaches down there, where we are all humans. A true artist is connected to that, and touch us and reveal something of ourselves, if the music they sing connects. Yup! You have two great models, different but equally great!

Back again. By now I hope you have seen both videos. The original from 99 and the 2nd from 2004 with The Lobdon Philharmonic Symphony and London Voices Choir. The budget for Once was €1, 000.000.00 for the album and €750, 000.00 for the videos. Based on sales of Centuty Child. They created sma new studio video which is epic to match the song. Floor herself said this was her favourite of the old catalouge to sing. I can see why. Let Floor's fans take note. If she loves it, and you love her... ? Anyways this is the live version of the remix. Slower tempo and changes to the vocals. Tarja said she felt like the song was recorded in a phone booth. ( look it up gen Y) 😅. Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole.

Ce qui est fantastique avec Floor, c'est qu'elle n'essaie pas de copier ou de "faire mieux" que Tarja. Elle interprète les chansons de Tuomas à sa manière... Ça n'empêchera malheureusement jamais bcp de gens de dénigrer l'une pour glorifier l'autre... Ce sont deux chanteuses exceptionnelles tout simplement (et avec un songwriter tel que Tuomas, on est gâtés !!)

@@animavie959 N'étant pas une personne religieuse, j'éviterai de me plonger sur cette croyance. Tout comme vous je suis un soi-disant vieux fan depuis l'an 2000. J'ai assisté à la prestation de Nightwish à Montréal en 2000. Un moment inoubliable! Vous dites que Nightwish n'ont fait que concrétisé leur dégénérescence depuis le départ de Tarja. Je respecte votre opinion, mais je suis en désaccord. Je pense que l'aventure de Nightwish va au-delà d'un seul individu, même si celui-i à une très grande importance aux yeux des fans. La vie est pleine de moments tourmentés et n'est pas un long fleuve tranquille pour certains individus. Pour moi Floor, Marco et Troy ont amené une touche personnelle distinctive. Si vous n'appréciez pas, c'est votre affaire. En ce qui a trait au retour de Tarja pour une occasion spéciale, il ne faut pas être dans le secret des dieux pour voir que cette clé est entre les mains de Tuomas. Comme le dit Épictète : Il y a des choses qui dépendent de nous et d'autres qui ne dépendent pas de nous. Pour moi la situation de Tarja ne dépend pas de nous!
