I heard this song in videos about Titanic, Britannic and Costa Concordia. I honestly don't know how it became so popular with ship disasters, but it is a beautiful song and I listen to it a lot!
My grandson was all about the Titanic knowing so many details about this tragic incident. He was 4 then. He likes and tries to sing this song. Now he's 5 and is into the Solar System. As with the Titanic he makes illustrations then uses them to explain about the topic. He will be excited to find out this song is dedicated to a solar eclipse. We visited in May and I would sing with him too. It's a beautiful song which for us is hard to sing but we love trying.I am learning the lyrics so when I return to visit in July we will sing the song again. Thank you for this video that we enjoy so much.
I really love this song because it brings back memories of what happened to the Titanic and her fateful Disaster and it just makes me cry, Rip to the Titanic Forever.
This is the first song that I heard from them. I heard this song for the first time in the video Britannic.When I found that it's Nightwish, I listened more and more songs. And now I'm their big fan. :) ;)
I know the whole song is about an eclipse in the 1990s but...damn its hard not to think of the SS America's wreck slowly deteriorating or the HMHS Britannic Rolling over from some early 2000's film...
Nightwish 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 i now it
Emi Tori -Chan PPG It's a joke. Their account is "RMS Titanic." They're referring to the Britannic, which this song was in a sort of music video for it.
this is crazy...my 5 year old nephew is "obsessed" with ships especially Titanic, Britannic and Olympic. he even asked his daddy for cut outs of them. one time, he's just humming a strange song and then he's singing and said the title was "Sleeping Sun". i gotta search for it just to see if he's singing it correctly 😊
"Sleeping Sun" (Lyrics) 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 love her vocals. Such angelic fluidity of opera.
After knowing that this song is dedicated to a solar eclipse, now I find this song even more beautiful
noice, it looks like dedicated with solar eclipse, sinking ships
For me, this song has always been about an universe shaking cry of anguish and yet, fervor and rage, all at once.
3:21 The intensity and epicness of the song from this point is just amazing.

Mari S I am forever fascinated by the titanic fandom in the comments of this song. It’s really wild
its so accosiated with sinking ships because its sad and dramatic, just like a ship sinking.
i came here because of MV Doña Paz
Same here
Can’t forget about the Edmund Fitzgerald.

YOU ARE A GRAMPFATHER 😢
Tarja was TRULY THE VERY BEST OF ALL NIGHTWISH SINGERS! WOW!!!😮😀👍👍👍
One of the most beautiful songs sung by one of the most amazing singers ever.
I really love this song because it brings back memories of what happened to the Titanic and her fateful Disaster and it just makes me cry, Rip to the Titanic Forever.
My 8 YO son made me hear this song, and see the Britanic video...
I'm a seafarer, can't help crying
Your not a parent, you can’t spell.
@@CABakerGaming you can't spell either
@@CABakerGaming some parents may speak another language other than English, not all parents speak English.
@@CABakerGaming damn dude. I can't imagine being as ignorant as you.

Written for the 1999 Total Solar Eclipse! (also used an absolute ton for Titanic,Lusitania and Britannic, amongst others....)
The beginning always sends chills through my body and I love it
One of the best songs ever sang 🥰
This is proof that angels are real
+Vampirerockstar Damn right
You are very right
All it proves is the existence of human music and voice.
Only those with no brains and no talent need to appeal to imaginary creatures.
This proves that Titanic is real and 👼 angel
😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Roronoa Zoro its the britannic cause i was watching the video and had sleeping sun in the backround
Roronoa Zoro It was for the Britannic.

Edmond Fitzgerald
KilL3R *people together* both
I know the whole song is about an eclipse in the 1990s but...damn its hard not to think of the SS America's wreck slowly deteriorating or the HMHS Britannic Rolling over from some early 2000's film...
this was the first song I actually remember hearing it reminds me of my sister that passed away
Wonderful song .....I really love this song....
Amazing voice
Nightwish
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 i now it
Tear-jerkingly beautiful.
This is the real song, Tarja's crown jewel

+DarkMario218 the HMHS Britannic sunk in 1916, by a underwater mine.

All about ocean liners. During the 1900s.
Reminds me of The costa Concordia
Ally FunGirl reminds me of the rise of scar
Yeah this song fits my sister more than me
Agreed.

Emi Tori -Chan PPG It's a joke. Their account is "RMS Titanic." They're referring to the Britannic, which this song was in a sort of music video for it.

Can you confirm that it was the iceberg that sunk you Rms titanic?
Great song

Dislikers are living in hell,so they don't like the songs of heaven
I got this song from a Chernobyl video original, I think it fits that as well. This song has many uses, I'm a fan of nightwish anyways lol.
This is the 009 Sound System of ship sinking videos.
i singing this too..... but in my house only
this is crazy...my 5 year old nephew is "obsessed" with ships especially Titanic, Britannic and Olympic. he even asked his daddy for cut outs of them. one time, he's just humming a strange song and then he's singing and said the title was "Sleeping Sun". i gotta search for it just to see if he's singing it correctly 😊
"Sleeping Sun"
(Lyrics)
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
Remembering of titanic and britianaic
Its Britannic not *_britianaic_*
And Lusitania
Nightwish best song.
I tried making a small model for the Olympic with limited parts and some plastic bolts
Because of this song
I Sing This All The Time.
Titanic R.I.P
Britannic R.I.P
Olympic R.I.P
Carpathia R.I.P🛳🛥🚢

Goosebumps moment: 3:02
