Don't mind me, I'm just feeling a bit too much masochistic tonight. It's just both tumblr and twitter suddenly gave me too much feel for Nico in one day and I just can't handle it.
First I heard this beautiful song by Paola Bennet that's inspired by Nico, and then I saw Viria's picture of drawning Nico, and then I saw the song had also been praised by Rick Riordan himself. So yeah ... I'm just going to put more pain in my heart by turning the song and art to a video.
To tell the truth I never thought that Paola Bennet will be that awesome, I mean I went to check all the song in her soundcloud (I put enough link in the end of this description so you better follow at least one of it hehehe) and like it instantly. She has such an amazing voice that can just grab people. I love it.
The artwork is my compilation of viria's Nico's pic. Don't get me wrong, I know there're a lot of fan-art of Nico in tumblr--and I've also been through viria's and minuiko's art-war(tumblr you share my feeltrip), but it's not in my habit of mixing somebodies artworks with another, it's just doesn't do the artists justice to just compile their hardwork with another artist work--it's just my conscience--I do love the idea of collaboration though ehehe, it's just eventhough some of the artstyle are similar, I still see it as a different work, and as much as I like a lot of artist, I still have to choose, and my choice fall on viria (mostly because I collect her artwork).
And no, I'll not tell you how I got the song, so don't ask. I'm not proud on my way of getting the song--and if the singer contact me to put this video down, I will. It's just this song is so beautiful that I want more and more people to listen to it and like it.

For people who asked whether or not this song was inspired by Bianca and Nico, the answer is Yes. Yes it is!
The song creator does make this song based on their relationship.

Fact: The first time we see Nico, in the Titan's Curse, he's shuffling his Mythomagic cards while his sister Bianca scolds him. When he first appears in the next book, he's throwing those cards into the flames as he tries to find a way to bring Bianca back from the dead.
Thank you very much for making me cry even more in the middle of the night

Why not :P
@@hellosatan3861 death is always the right options
Let's take a second to think about his life. He was born into a marriageless family in Italy in the 1930s. He has adhd and dyslexia and is gay. He's a son of the god of the underworld but flew over the Atlantic Ocean to live in the United States. His mother was killed by Zeus, the leader of gods and the one who demands respect the most. His memory was wiped and he was forced to jump to a different time period. His sister died. He fell in love with a straight taken guy. He went through a war. He went undercover into a enemy camp knowing the risk of being killed. He went through Tartarus alone. He was forced to come out of the closet. He went through another war.
And by the time all that ended, he was f**king 14.
We love Nico
I ( * cough*) "don't " want to cry now that am thinking about this
Nico is amazing and strong and brave he needed therapy and happily, he had will the best bf in the world fiction or non. will helped him deal with the problems he had to deal with, Nico needed Will
Same
@Roudha Alhajeri they really reduced him to his godly parent and looks
everyone: omg imagine will singing to him
me: yall know hazel exists right
Nico singing it to her😭
( spoilers for trials of apollo )
Nico wakes up in the Hades cabin from the sound of sobbing first he was startled until he realized that Hazel was in camp half-blood for the week he got up and saw her sitting in one of the chairs crying her eyes out
"He sis what's wrong?"
"s.sorry if I.."
"Don't you even think about apologizing for this I'm your big brother Its kind of my Job to cheer you up If you need it so what's wrong Do I need to grabe some friends from below to haunt frank?"
" No no please don't haunt my boyfriend.. or new Rome in general we just finished a war. I had a nightmare of what could have happened If we had faild and I just lost it I live mom's dead Jason is Dead why did I get this chance why .."
Nico took her in his arms and sang
"Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione per cui vivo (the reason I live)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)"
and as the song kept going it started to sound like Nico wasn't singing alone the first voice that joined was of an adult woman second of a teenage girl and somewhere in there was the deep voice of their father.

@@andyandanadraws A Young man walks the streets of new Rome in one of the villas he sees an old man sitting on his veranda looking out over the hills
"Hello there kid Do you need something from this old demigod"
"Hey um sir My friend and I Had an argument I told him that there was still a hero of the second titan war somewhere out there he told me there couldn't be"
"Well you are right now but come sunset your friend will be right I am Nico di angelo the last hero of Olympus well-excluding Talia and Rayana, but they joined the hunt how did you find me?"
"I'm a son of Neptune sir a black Pegasus told me to find you"

we could however throw him into tartarus and see if he survives
Yes tartarus....... And YES HUG THE INNOCENT LIL BEAN
Luna studios, I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure this song was literally made for nico.
Imagine Bianca singing this as a ghost, every night Nico goes to sleep. And then in the morning, Nico hums it in front of her grave.

How dare you?!?!?!??!?!
Who gave u the permission to post something like this😭
《ジュリー》 yas fam!

"Now a dark Prince
But even for you there is light"
Solace=Light in my language. Will Solace is Nico's saving grace, the light to his darkness.
solace means a few different things depending on the language! it can (roughly) mean sun, sunlight, warmth, and comfort. will was exactly what nico needed in many ways. someone who’s firm but gentle and who cares for and helps him no matter what. nico has a lot of amazing qualities but he can also forget to consider himself and be incredibly self destructive. will balances him out with his healing, light, and overall chill. they’re almost perfect parallels and that’s why they work
Exactly
Hey, r u irish by any chance? Here in Ireland solace means light. That's the first thing I noticed when I saw the name will solace!
Solace means in our language peace or light
that just made me cry, thats so cute
He was a little soldier, now he is a warrior
A true man, a true friend, a true brother, and a true hero
One of the best characters in RiordanUnivers
That's my brother, all right....
@Ananya Singh I have to agree with you there. My half brother, Nico, is the best. He is the most dangerous character and is the most misunderstood. He is actually a really bright and cheery person once you get to know him.
@Ananya Singh definitely
@Ananya Singh disagree
The best Male character. Reyna is the female boss.
Re... Remember... he has Hazel.... and Will *cries*
😭😭😭😭😭
And Reyna
But not fucking jason

Life of Fox Thank you for that ! I am going to cry in my corner now. Bye.

Thanks. Im going to sob alone in a corner now
ARGH im crying myself to sleep tonight....
YES
Okay but I had to say this. When we see Nico in the first book for the trials of Apollo Nico is fifteen. I am his age. You look at what he has been thru. He lost his mom at ten. He's pit into a hotel that slows down time only to be pulled out of it seventy years later and put into a different time zone. He loses his his sister at ten. Then he's seen trying to bring her back. He has has gone thru tartarus by himself he was captured by monsters and held in a jar. He was forced by cupid to admit that he is gay. He was the outcast at camp half blood for a long time. Oh and that one goddess that told him he was perfect because she couldn't make him any sadder. At that point Nico is in the depths of despair. That's not even half of what he has gone thru. Nico wasn't happy again until he started dating Will. Nico has been thru so much. And in only the span of five years. FIVE. This didn't even sink in until a couple of nights ago. He is fifteen. I am fifteen. I can empathize with Nico. But there are things I will never be able to comprehend about his past. This is why Nico is my favorite character. Because he is strong. Because he faced his inner demons alone and defeated many of them. He became happy again. He found Love. Again. And all of this he went thru in five years.
Emma Jones I completely get what you are saying. Sometimes, as in almost all the time, I wish I had gotten into this series when I was in middle school and it was first coming out. But, I was busy reading other things. Nico is a wonderful character, he is such a wonderful mix of emotions, anxiety, rage, and that desperate awkward kid who is loyal AF to his friends. I love him, and I appreciate how him being gay doesn’t come up in the first series, and we see his coming out through Jason‘s perspective of someone who decides to put aside his reservations about Nico and offers to be his friend, even with the angst, and in the trials of Apollo we just got to see Nico being happy and bickering and adorable. He deserves all of the happiness, and I’m glad that we as readers get to grow with him
Isn’t will 15 and he’s 14?
Nico is 15 in trials of Apollo and Will is 16
Nico's Birthday is on January 28th. His birthday has not yet passed during the Titan's curse, because they mention either Christmas or December as a current event. So,
The Titan's Curse: age 10
+ half a year
The Battle of the Labyrinth: age 11
+one year
The Last Olympian: age 12
+6 months (before Christmas again)
The Lost Hero: age 12
+6 months
The Son of Neptune: age 13
+ ~1 month or less
The Mark of Athena: age 13
+ ~a couple of days/ weeks
The House of Hades: age 13
+ ~a couple of days/ weeks (still summer)
The Blood of Olympus: age 13
+ ~6 months (I believe in January)
The Hidden Oracle: age 13 or 14
(The rest of the Trials of Apollo books take place fairly quickly after each other)
I know Rick Riordan said that Nico was 14 in the Blood of Olympus, which should make him 15 during Trials of Apollo. I'm literally so confused, does anyone know if I messed up on the timings?
@@amnaz4024 i believe that nico is 14 in trials of apollo because when you look at wiki pages and anything about him it says hes 14 and rick said he was 14
My next verse:
Here we are,
There's hope up ahead,
A boy of the sun,
And a ship full of friends.
The bitter will fade,
And hope will shine through,
Yes there's hope,
For me, and even for you
You were my little soldier... now a fighter for the gods.. I love you cause you're amazing... and you've beaten all the odds

Disney and Riordan need to contact Paola Bennet and pay her to have this song in the new series. If they can make Viria's artwork the official artwork (which they did) they can make this song Bianca and Nico's official song.
Why stop there? Why not have “Good Kid”, “Tree on the Hill” and “My Grand Plan” from the musical be Percy, Grover and Annabeth’s themes respectively
Hazel:*having a nightmare*
Nico:*rushes in* hey, it’s ok, it’s alright shhh, *sings song*

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CLUE!?
Yes he is... :(
Duh!
im sitting here clutching onto will and nico because they are my last two favorite characters. luke and ethan are dead. nico and will can survive
@Reindall well think about it. the only reason he wanted to join kronos is that the gods are bastards. if they gave the minor gods respect they deserve then ethans mom woulden't have led him to luke/kronos's army heck even ethans last words were for percy to get the minor gods cabins. he DIED because he tried to strike kronos and his sword broke making a shard hit his stomach

@@greenbunz true but i prefer to keep my false hope and happiness than having to face the truth that will might die even tho it would be useless for nicos character development
Nico is the best. I admire him more than Percy or Jason. The way he handled the loneliness, sadness and sorrow is admirable. Feels good when he finally accepted himself at the end of The Blood of Olympus.
His character development just got even more great and satisfying in Trials of Apollo. I'm positively ecstatic about the up and coming Solangelo book with Will and Nico
From an Italian speaker:
"la ragione per cui vivo" = The purpose of my life
"la ragione ho vissuto" = The reason I *lived*
You just made this a lot more worse thank you very much lemme get back to the emo corner
wow thanks a lot lemme just cry for a moment
This just makes it sadder 😢
This made it ten times sadder, thank you
Im trying to learn italian its such a beautiful language in my opinion
For anybody who's wondering, "Ma Nico, mio caro" means "But Nico, my dear" in Italian. So to the PJO Fandom, I'm pretty sure this song was created JUST FOR NICO!
It was :)
Chase Detrick
Indeed it was
SuperNerds Cosplay I’m Italian so I kinda understood it and I’m gonna cry
yeah it was
"What do the kids say these day? Well duh."
I like to believe there’s a time where Nico runs into Bianca’s reincarnation and (idk how, maybe Underworld magic) can tell it’s her and he tells her the story of a girl who scolded her little brother for playing with cards, who was always there for her brother, and who died in a accident a couple years ago. The little girl replies to his story telling him she loves him in Italian and then walks away.
Wow thanks I’m crying now
I am going to go cry my eyes out now.
My new favourite head canon
This song needs to be in the Disney Movie. Like have it in the background of the scene where Bianca dies or something. But it ɴᴇᴇᴅs to be in the movie somewhere.
Or even better, imagine this song playing in the background when Nico finds out his sister died and he's just crying and screaming "you promised" over and over
😭💔

why imagine? I thought the line "listening to a voice that can't speak" meant she was already singing it from there...
*sings from the Underworld*
Nico didn't have to check on Hazel to realize she was still awake with the sea being as rough as this. Sure, the Argo II was a pretty stable ship, but Hazel got seasick from much less than this. And his ability to sense auras also helped. Even though it was the dead of night, Nico could tell Hazel was wide awake.
He climbed down from the crow's nest, which had become almost like a second home to him, as much as he allowed himself to have one, and went under the deck and to Hazels bunk. "You okay in there sis?" he asked through the closed door. When Hazel opened the door, he could tell that the question was redundant.
He sat down on her bed with her. "Gods, i hate the sea." she said, looking like a bathroom might be the better place for her right now. "Have you ever been up on the crow's nest?" he asked. "I get seasick enough down here." she pointed out, "So no." "They say seasickness is less severe when you're on the deck." he told her, "Because then you can focus on the horizon." After a bit of hesitation, she replied "I mean, it can't possibly get worse than it already is, can it?"
Much to her surprise, Nico had actually been right about the horizon part. Sure, it wasn't easy to see under these conditions, but she somehow felt less seasick. Or maybe the view just kept her focussed on not throwing up. "Is the view why you're up here so much?" she asked. "More because i'm alone up here. And besides, a ship needs its lookout."
The two sat together, staring into the distance. Just sitting and staring. Not a word. Nico didn't really understand it, but somehow, just doing that made him feel better too. Like a bit of his pain was lifted off his shoulders, for just a moment. It really hadn't seemed that long, but they had sat there for hours, sitting there, staring holes into the air, counting how quickly the ship swayed.
"Gods, it's been hours." said Hazel, after she saw how much the moon had moved, "We should probably both go to sleep." "Agreed." Nico said, before they both headed back down into the belly of the ship.
"Say," Hazel said, as Nico was about to turn around for his own quarters, "How do you- I mean, when you can't sleep?" "Oh," he said, "There's this song Bianca used to sing for me back at Westover Hall when i had a hard time sleeping." "Would you mind..." Hazel said, "Doing the same for me?"
"With great power, comes a great need to take a nap. Wake me up later."
"Friends, meet my glow-in-the-dark boyfriend"
All quotes said by Nico
We had a talent show at school and I sung this....my friend who so happend to wear her PERCY Jackson shirt was crying so bad.
Katniss wow ! I would've liked to see it
Where did you find the notes for it. Or did oh find some other way to do it
I would sing it, but alas, my singing voice closely resembles a dying screech owl
I sing my little brother to sleep with this song. Alas I'm still learning the Italian bits, but I'm learning!

Oh I hope he hears it......
It's so beautiful.......

I like to imagine that their son (cuz Eros would feel bad for making him cry and give them a son-) would have this sung to him by Nico but when Nico’s having one of his bad days their son sings it back to him-
@@fangirl38 awwwe!! I can imagine them having a little daughter more , but that would be SO cutee!! 🥺
Now imagine Bianca dining this to Nico just before she leaves for the quest…and promises to return…..
Nico is my favorite because of his story.
He's just the most beautiful character I've ever read or seen, because he's unique. In him there are all the things that even today, in 2020, are not understood by everyone. He faced the 1940s, the dark years of World War II, where those like him, gays, were taken to concentration camps.
Then he fell in love with a boy, as if life sent him continuous signals that he must suffer, that by the way he is straight, and totally in love with a girl, he always chooses her over everyone.
He's the son of Hades, the god of the Underworld, and that certainly doesn't make things better. Hades didn't know how to behave, he wanted so much to be recognized as a hero that he was blinded by this desire and continued to make his son suffer even more. Of course, he then learned to be a father and he first accepted Nico.
Then Nico falls into the Tartar. There was no one with him. No one he loved. No one cared about him. No one who would help him bear the Tartar. Nobody. And of course when Percy and Annabeth survive the abyss in the Underworld, they will be recognized for their merits and all will welcome them as heroes. As if Nico was worth less, when he fell into that abyss.
Then he meets Cupid. That bastard, proof that love can be cruel. He is forced to confess his feelings, as if coming out is such a simple thing. But at least, thanks to that experience, Nico had a real friend, Jason
Then after declaring to Percy, he realizes that he has fallen in love with Will Solace. A boy son of Apollo. Beautiful also in appearance. A hero simply because of his being a doctor, and consequently saving lives. Of course Nico thinks Will would refuse him. That someone like Apollo's son would never be with someone like him. And instead, Will will become his boyfriend. The first step to happiness. The only person who can really make him smile.
When everything seemed to go wonderfully, Jason dies. The first person after Bianca that Nico trusted. The first person who had gone beyond appearances and had managed to cross the barriers that Nico had created to protect himself from pain.
Of course, Nico's life wasn't easy. Certainly, for many he is not the best demigod and certainly not as powerful as Percy and for others he will never be a hero as much as the son of Poseidon. But you know what? For me Nico has already surpassed Percy Jackson only because of what he has been through and also because of much more.
I imagined Bianca's ghost singing it to Nico every night he couldn't sleep.
Falling into Tartarus would hurt less.

I need him and he needs me.
😭
I just realized when my brother leaves for college I'll probs be like newly turned 11...
As an older sibling who would willingly save their brother from anything, I can heavily relate to this song. Sometimes I even quote from this song, and I don't know if he knows what I'm saying or not, but it doesn't matter. I love him either way.
I relate. Even though my little brother will never leave me alone sometimes, I would and ALWAYS will walk through Hell for him because he is the most important thing to me forever. I love you, Hayden. Even when you piss me off I still love you, no matter what, little bro.
This hit me!!! I'd do anything for my brother. I was especially feeling thankful to him cause I have finals rn and he's being really supportive and almost pampering me...which usually never happens and I feel so grateful for him. I'm gonna go give him a hug now. 🥺😭
That is sweet
I lost it when it changed to you WERE my little soldier. I cried
Me too...
Uhhuh
and oh my god.... when she said he's just one you might call home.. oh my god... she knew he had a crush on Percy.. * dies of the sadness and feels of this song*
Aughh....
Okay but imagine that Bianca used to sing this for Nico and Will found out and starts singing it to him every night-
Why are you doing this to me? What have I ever done to you
And then one day Nico ends up in the infirmary for something severe and Will just sits there singing waiting for him to wake up,choking up at every verse,but he finishes the song and the monitor is wavering,and before he can reach for the ambrosia and nectar Nico is gone,smiling a little,and distantly Bianca's voice can be heard "Thank you for taking care of Nico.Ill take it from here."

Wow, Rick Riordan really knows how to give a kid life, and then mess it up, in like 2 books.
@Sophia Hynds lol
There’s a lot of talented people in the Percy Jackson fan club
Too bad the movies sucks😭 when the story is beautiful
That’s y we r getting a Disney+ series y’all!!
I know right, and the fan arts are sooooo much better than the images that show up in the books
Imagine Bianca singing this to Nico...
Try to don't cry... now, cry
.... I-I'm not crying....
Too late. 😢
Nico di Angelo subscribing to you, just because you are our lord and savior, the ghost king
Nico di Angelo indeed. Where would we be without the ghost king to lead us to the light that is solangelo
Janelle Breashears XD
I have really bad insomnia and one of my best friends (and crush) will always facetime me when I can't sleep.. he'll stay up all night if he needs to, just so I'm not lonely and whenever there's an awkward pause in the conversation, he starts to sing this... lately he's been singing it to calm me down from panic attacks as well and so whenever he's not with me and I have a panic attack, I just come here and listen to this song
OMG HOW ARE YOU TWO NOW?
He's a keeper
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices Agreed
I've avoided this song for ages. Now I know why,
My sub-conscious didn't want me to cry from the perfection ❤️
God though! I mean, Nico grew up in a time where he was completely unaccepted by everyone but his family. His mother and sister were killed when he was still a child. He was taken from one time period to another, and he survived two wars at the age of 14! Like, lit-rally, he deserves a song more than almost anyone else in both series.
Solangelo Sunangel ahh I love your username! I get you’re a Solangelo shipper too?
He went through Tartarus, alone, at age 14. JUST HOW TRAUMATISING IS THAT.
"Dude, are you crying?"
"No, my eyes are just sw- *OF COURSE I'M CRYING!* "
I can imagine Nico drawing or (I don't know why I just picture him being able to do this) playing it on the violin in the middle of the woods and all his friends ( will, hazel, Percy, Jason, ect.) hearing him play it not knowing who it is then Nico sings it afterwards and they all start crying and ask him (more like beg plead and force him) to sing and play at the camp fire. And.Will claiming that he dose all three talents better then any of the kids in the Apollo cabin .
sapphire the lover of all oh my gods this is the best and saddest thing ever
Stop making me cry 😭😭😭😭
Spolier warning..
JASONS DEAD (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
I'm gonna go cry now... இ௰இ
and then the Apollo cabin agrees and Apollo comes down to earth to see what's happening and hears Nico's playing and declares that he is the best demigod musician in 3,000 years.
"and maybe someday the bitter will fade from your bones"... it's so sad to think that this didn't happened yet, even with all the shit that already happened. instead, he even lost another important person in his life. rip my boy Jason and I hope one day the bitter indeed fade from Nico's bones.
~Help~
1. I need a plumber to fix these pipes that are making my eyes sweat
2.All of the fanfiction s are coming back to me at one time
3.My feels just broke
4.My heart is shriveled
i know what you're going through
My heart is pulled out from my chest , sorry I cannot help
Victoria Meira It's the cost of being FABULOUS
Sierra Santschi Well then, I'll send thanks from the corner I'm crying in.
Violet Mbela I feel you, sister. I'm legit crying right now. I can't take it. A bunch of people hate Nico di Angelo but, I don't understand why. They have no reason to. He is this innocent 15 year old that has lost his family, has a secret that only Jason knows(until BoO) and some serious trust and anxiety issues. Nobody should hate him. He is my favorite personally because, well, his past. I feel sooooooo bad!
When the singer sang in Italian...
I cried so much...
Rereading the books, halfway through the first and cant wait to meet all my old friends again but damn, nico man.. not even in the story yet but knowing everything he goes through is so devastating and I still remember each word to this beautiful lullaby...
me tooo
I just wanted to thank this fandom real quick
After readings these comments I am sure the Percy Jackson Fandom is the least toxic fandom I have ever been in
All of you are amazing and I love you ♡
Trust me this fandom can be quite toxic if you express interest in an unpopular ship than again so is my hero academia when you do the same thing
@@gumsliceyeah but Im only kinda toxic if you say you ship Nico and Reyna or Percy and Reyna or Jason and Reyna cus Reyna joins the Hunters and Nico is gay and Will is his BF Annabeth is Percys GF and Piper is Jasons GF but only for a little while but still if someone says they ship Reyna with anyone but Thalia I can get toxic I'm not that toxic with MHA ships cus I know people have their own opinions but personally for MHA I ship BKDK Kiritodo ShinKami EraserMic DabiHawks NatShig and Fuyumi with Mirko but if anyone doesn't like these ships I'm fine with that I also ship Toga and Ochako but this is my opinion and what I ship no one else has too
@@gumslice that's ok not everyone has to like what I ship it's what I like you don't have too I just have an AU where Bakugo only bullied Deku to hide the fact that they were dating and I have an AU where Shinsou gets transferred to class 1A and has a crush on Denki and they start hanging out and then a few months after the became friends start dating but again you don't have to like these ships I do but I don't care if you do or not but with the HoO ships I have a point
you WERE my little soldier
now a dark prince
but even for you there is a light
that leads you to another life
well im gonna cry
Also, am I the only one who thinks this Song would also fit Sam and dean Winchester?
+Hewwoitskeke I thought exactly the same thing!
Jo YAY!
That light is the brightest light ever, the sun, (actually the sun's son)
Already did!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
TT_TT Just imagine Bianca's ghost singing this to him at night.
WAAAH! So sad. :'(
Dammit! Now I'm crying again!!
Headcanon: After BoO, Nico had nightmares and when he woke up he faintly heard the song, knowing it was Bianca's ghost he fell asleep and dreamed.... Well a good dream for a demigod.
Ilanah Hunt are you trying to make me cry?
Unfriendly reminder:
The goddess of misery told Nico he was perfect because she couldn't make him any sadder.
AnimeCake please no that's really sad TTmTT
When you realize Jason never got to see Solangelo in action. :(
I know right 😭😭😭
and we all know how happy jason would've been to finally see nico happy after jason saw nico's pain- 😭😭😭
nooo stoppppp😭😭😭😭😭😭
Dam this whole comment section
GO SIT IN A CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE!!
If I met Nico in real life I would hug him for days. He has been through so much in his life and he doesn't let that get in his way.
That would be me.. I would tell him to sing this song to me
Me: okay let's listen this! I've heard that this song is inspired by Nico and Bianca!
'Close your eyes'
Me: that's Nicos lullaby, how cute!
'I know what you see'
Me: that's nice c:
'The darkness is high'
Me: okay maybe this wasn't very good idea...
'And you're in ten feet deep'
Me: try not to cry...
'But we've survived'
Me: *cries silently*
'More terrible monsters than sleep'
Me: *sobbing in corner*
But after all, that's my favourite song and I remember all lyrics :) (and sorry, I'm Finnish so my English isn't very good...)
@anna30148 true
i know Italian now
Your English is better than my English. And English is my first language 😂😭. But off topic, SAME!
Bianca, it's impossible that Nico ever forgets you.
My fiance soon to be husband brought me here. This song gave him strength to go on. And for that I am thankful
"but he's just one of many that you might call home..." Am I the only one that thinks she's talking about his crush on Percy, and how he'll find someone else?
I think she is talking about Hades, his father. Hades always told Nico that he preferred his sister(though it changed it the Blood of Olympus) and I really think that she wants that Nico stays strong.
No that was my thought too
yup, thats whats she talking about
Nope! Another one? Will Solace.
Solangelooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I'm weird. And tired.
@@charlos6123 She's referencing to Will and Singing about his crush on Percy I think ;-;
Ma Nico, mio caro
But Nico, my darling
Obviously Bianca's singing to Neeks. I love this song
Neeks? Where'd that come from?
Abigail McCarthy Possibly a nickname the fans gave him. I love it. It sounds so cute...
screw the 42 people who disliked this may Hades strike you down
I agree!
They deserve to be in the Fields of Punishment
Bianca Robs screw that, they deserve tartarus
Thomas Northeast they were probably crying so hard they pressed the wrong button
Its 45 now, but I agree
"But even for you, there is a light."
Did this gal predict Solangelo?
Probably
8 years later this is being recommended to me and I couldn't be happier about a song that makes me so sad /pos
This song makes me so emotional, but it's one of those times where all you can do is cry because you can't explain to anyone how you feel and why.
HEY DIDN'T I SEE YOU ON ANOTHER SONG???
ImNotCrazyImAFangirl
Haha, I think we both see each other everywhere.
lol
It's jusk like: Why u crying?
Nico. Just - Nico.
headcanon:
even after BoO ended, Nico had really bad nightmares about his time in tartarus. whenever he woke up, terrified and sometimes in tears, will would hold him and sing this song to him until he fell back asleep.
Would the notes be too high for a male range? Sorry, I am a music geek.
Jasmine Ward he sang it a key lower
lolitsrossi okay.
Headcanon accepted
can u not
Well I should say that this is not a good lullaby, this lullaby made me can't sleep, tears falling unstoppably while my head just constantly thinking about Nico and a hundred way of how to go into a book and hug him ;-;
DIMENSION TRAVEL WHO CAN DO IT???
You can shift!! I've never figured put how but i've heard of people who have!!
@@duckyduck6563 just control ur dreams lol
@@Magnus_Chase. ik what it IS, i just don't know _how_ to control my dreams
My best friend who is in love with this book series told me to listen to this song, and I'm so happy I listened to her. This is truly a masterpiece. I love it.
The more I think about it, the more similar I seem to be to Nico. I had a sister who died in afganistan and after she died I changed a lot. This song just made me think about that.
Reading about other people's lives makes me feel so sad! ;-;
Hope you're okay now
Alison Biersack same
Alison Biersack sorry feel for your sister
Feel's sorry
My old best friend used to sing this all the time...I always come here and watch this when I miss her.
Sunshine of Death you made my cry. I did not cry bc of the music.
ladyguinierferchpele oh noooo I'm sorry!
Sunshine of Death
Im crying even harder now. Dude! Why you make me have feels even though I don't know you?!
is it bad that everyone comments those sweet things and I sing to my best friend stuff like "somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me" or "wAKE ME UP INSIDE" when she is upset and it always works?
thebridgeofmadness naaa
This got me through middle school. I graduated high school this past spring, despite multiple mental health issues and an ongoing ED. Still helps me to sleep.
Nico's mother singing this to him as a child.
Bianca singing this to him when they're alone, and only have each other.
Nico singing this to himself after she's gone, as he cries himself to sleep every night.
Will overhearing, and singing it to him once they're together, stumbling over the parts in Italian, which makes Nico giggle, but he eventually gets it down.
My baby boy is finally happy.
I was literally bawling my eyes out because I was drawing a really sad Nico drawing
while listening to this song
Legend has it Bianca made the song you can cry now
I already was.......
Same
Thank you so much for this song . Nico and Bianca are by FAR the best people in the entire book series they should have there own book dedicated to them . This is beautiful
I sing this to my brother....he passed away 5 years ago and I would do anything to bring him back but I can't I started getting sadder and sadder and I almost gave in but I started reading and I felt like Nico understood me . I am also a closeted bisexual so him being gay really made me happy and I know its stupid but a fictional character,a fictional stpry ,and a heart filled writer saved my life hopefully this will find someone who is struggling and help them out so if your thinking sad thought remember I love you so much and you are perfect and loved ❤
Good luck. I am sure that your brother would only your hapiness if he was here.
(I don't know if this sentence means something)
A fictionnal charakter can help someone who lived /is living something which looks like the story of the character.
I am also bisexual, therefore, when Nico loves Percy and can't tell that to him because he is afraid, It looks like something I live.
Finally, Nico finds someone who can love him. He finds Will. So it gives me hope.
Therefore I completely understand that fictionnel characters can change someone.
I hope that I am correctly writing in english, because I am French.
(And I don't eat frogs lol)
I just imagine Nico sitting in a corner, humming this song and hugging the Hades' figurine.
Oh, what I done to my heart right now?!
No but like, what if Bianca had sung this to Nico at one point, and then Nico wrote it down. What if Will heard him sing to himself it and then found it one day, but then Nico can't sleep one night because of a nightmare and Will just holds him and sings it to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Sorry not sorry*
Ellie Howard who gave you the right?!
F you. I just STOPPED crying. Now I’m crying again so thanks
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
IF NICO DIES THE CAMP/THE SEVEN SING IT AT HIS FUNERAL. WILL TRYING TO COPE WITH NICOS DEATH STARTS TO SELF HARM AND BECOMES DISTANT AND HE SINGS HIMSELF TO SLEEP
This is by far the saddest and most wonderful comment I have read so far
now that we're officially getting a TV show (*still screaming*) , this masterpiece should honestly be in it, deserves to... it'd be epic (and heartbreaking) ~
Listening to this while reading The Star and the Sun is like rollercoaster of pain, happiness, sadness and joy
when I first discovered this song years ago I used to cry every single time I'd listen to it
nope still crying
It's been so long since I last heard this, and here I am, finally started with my Italian studies, which Nico insipered me to start in the first place a long time ago...
I'm not crying, I'm just cosplaying the River Styx
This really made me cry. I had to stop and go back when it said "you were my little soldier. Now a dark prince. But even for you there is a light that leads you to another life." That is what got me the most. It showed Nico turning into a darker person, not the happy little boy who was obsessed with Mythomagic. It broke my heart as he descended into darkness. I will never be able to get over it.
who else imagines little nico cuddling up to his mom as she sings this......the feels are real 😢
+Amme Smith now I'm imagining this and feels truck hit me
me ✋😥
+Amme Smith Many, many, times.
I agree, I'm crying 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😿🙀
FEELS!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't stop crying when they said "You were my little soldier. But now you're my dark prince."
I JUST WANNA HUG NICO SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
DIMENSION TRAVEL!!!
Anyone still mourning in 2019?!😭😭😭💔
2021
@@respectgoesbothways same
I am but it's getting close to 2022 now
I really need a version of this song in some part of the tv adaptation it’s just so good
am i the only one who replays this song over and over and over again???
Noop.*plays the song over every time he feels sad*
number of times played:ERROR!!
hope ya'll got your permission slips, cuz we're going on a feels trip.
+Taniha Shiαree omg XD
Your profile fits your comment so well
Your profile fits your comment so well
+Taniha Shiαree Ugh Same. I'm literaly holding back tears. Poor Nico. Hes gone through so much shit.
I'm legit crying so hard
This song brings back so many memories. I remember being in six grade and finding it, and just listening to it on repeat. I love you Nico, I'm so happy you finally found someone who will stay.
I imagine that every time the darkness is too high for Nico, he sings this line under his breath or just mutters it.
“Ma anche per te, c’e una luce.”
“But even for you, there is a light.”
It just occurred to me that my name is Bianca my brother's name is Nico and my mom's name is Maria.
Don't. Die. Whatever. You. Do.
*gasp* LIES
THIS IS AMAZHANG COINCIDENCE
i dought that
NO WAY
I'm listening to this so I'll fall asleep (I'm really ADHD) and OMG it's so comforting knowing that this is your fictional crushes lullaby
omg same
samee.... except for the crush part.... I think??
Same
Oh my gosh I just thought of this
Nico REALLY liked Bianca, right? Not the typical I-tell-myself-I-love-you-but-I-kind-of-hate-you thing that a lot of siblings have, but a real attachment. Military schools and other boarding schools usually have gender-segregated dormitories, so what if Nico liked to sneak into the girls' dorm area, find his sister, and spend time with her? And all the other girls in the dorm semi-adopt him so now Nico has a half-dozen surrogate sisters who all dote on him? And they secretly love listening to Bianca singing Nico this lullaby whenever he has a nightmare?
Omegods yes!!! And then Reyna meets them, and teaches 'em all to be fighters and stuff and they form a protect Nico club and you just do not mess with Nico otherwise you god a group as big as Artemis' and a dozen times more dangerous.
LYRICS-
close your eyes
i know what you see
the darkness is high
and youre in ten feet deep
but weve survived
more terrible monsters than sleep
and you know i
will be here
to tell you to breathe
tu sei il mio soldatino
la ragione per cui vivo
non ti scordar di me
io vegliero su di te
stumbling lost
the last choice of all that you meet
its the cost
of ruling those neath your feet
paths youve crossed
and trust youre trying to keep
youre exhausted
listening for a voice that cant speak
ma nico, mio caro
tu sei il mio soldatino
la ragione ho vissuto
non ti scordar di me
io vegliero su di te
so you run
through shadows you roam
seams undone
by the love you thought you could own
but hes just one
of many that you might call home
and maybe someday
the bitter will fade from your bones
fade from your bones (ooohh)
eri il mio soldatino
ora un principe oscuro
ma anche per te, ce una luce
che ad un altra vita ti conduce
Thanks!
