- Wintersun - Sleeping Stars (Legendary Early Demos) - Introduction. WINTERSUN ALBUMS MASTER FILES, ISOLATED TRACKS, INSTRUMENTALS, REMASTERS: wintersun.bandcamp.com
"Here's a quick introduction to the original "Sleeping Stars" demo, which was written and recorded around 1995-96. I think this song opened Wintersun's "debut album style/direction" for me, as it was the very first song I wrote for the debut album. The original demo version is shorter than the album version. Later, around 2002-2003, I wrote the bridge part that is on the debut album. So you could say this song was "asleep" for many years until I finished it." - Jari
The "Sleeping Stars" demo is part of the WINTERSUN - LEGENDARY EARLY DEMOS collection.

What amp/tone did you use for the demos?
The band was coming to town for a concert in Houston 2013. I hadn't heard of them so I decided to listen to a song to decide if I was going to go. Sleeping Stars was that song. I didn't even finish it and immediately bought my ticket to see them live. I've been listening to Wintersun on repeat since then.
hell yeah brother
welcome to the club
@@EarthenDemon126 bro, he said he joined the club more than 10 years ago. A little late for a welcome 😂
@@pauls.9819 10 years is no time if we're talking Wintersun
@@EarthenDemon126😂😂 true!

OH SLEEPING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS
CAN YOU SEE THEM FLOAT IN THE NIGHT SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
CAN YOU HEAR THOSE ECHOES OF THEIR SWEET CRIES CREATING A TUNEEEEEEEE
CAN YOU SEE THEM SHINE SO BRIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
Having heard this makes me realize why Time II took so much time to finish - he just needed to find the right sound as he did with the original Sleeping Stars
Ah, on old familiar sound graces our ears.
Nothing hits like them first album feels ❤
Man these early demos are getting me so hyped, cannot wait for April!! Thank you for trucking through all these years, ignoring the haters and continuing to do what you do Jari!
This is the first song that I heard that got me into Wintersun. Its been many years and Ive grown some gray hair since then but I still love this song and this band! Thank you Jari!
I'm a simple man, I see a Wintersun upload, I press like!
Cool to hear the changes that a song goes through after some years. Master of a craft this is!
Can you see them float..in the night sky... 🔥
im filled of emotions, feel trembling, WOW, NO WORD CAN HONOUR SUCH MASTERPIECE, i love all your work. THANK YOU A LOT
While bands were trying to get faster, this magical piece lived the test of time. Very nice to hear in its original form.
One of my favourite songs from the debut album. Sounds amazing.
Jari, you played the whole Time package campaign so well. Those early demos with backstories are amazing! I feel like as if I had been accompanying you through your musical journey. I never took part in hateful comment through last years. I was only worried that Wintersun is slowly falling apart and the money gathered in the last campaign went into the void. Fortunately it is far from truth!
My eyes feel so heavy when the stars are calling me
Join with us eternally....Jari makes Pure poetry
God it's like opening a time capsule every time you post one of these. I absolutely love it! Honestly I think the production value makes them even cooler,
An all time favourite, keep playing this almost every week at least once 🤘
Glad this one got a second life on the debut. It's one of my favorites!
I remember when I listened the debut album the first time 13 years ago. This was the song which sold me for Wintersun. I was like "this is the kind of music I would do if I could".
Touched my heart.,
...,😢❤❤😮😮😮😮
Sweet Reedemer.... what a great fkin time to be alive... please do some concerts in Finland, cant wait to hear this masterpieces live...
Very nice! :) can’t wait for August 30th!
Simply a good melody
My favorite wintersun song ever ♥️
Can’t wait the TIME package!!!
funfact jari: i was born at 1995, which makes this even more amazing!
SO HYPED FOR THIS OMG
Soooo beautiful 😍
This is sick. I'm stoked to hear this demo. This song is, very fittingly, a sleeper hit for me. I've listened to the debut Wintersun album A LOT since 2013 when I started getting into heavy metal and found out about this band, and I love that album. But I didn't realize how amazing this song is until I saw them play it live during the Forest Seasons tour. I knew that I liked the song, I'd been listening to it for years, but that night I was like damn, I've been sleeping on Sleeping Stars. That was the highlight of the show for me and since then it might be my favorite Wintersun song... hard to choose a favorite though, the competition is tight.
Nice Video effects! This neon waves is amazing!
Sounds so nostalgic 😢❤
Yet another song I'll be blasting away when released!
Truly legendary.
Sounds like a masterpiece ❤️ Greetings from Brazil!
Amazing, its like travel through... time!
Love it, really looking forward to the whole song. I love death and the healing demo too, that one is awesome.
listening to the earliest version of this song... makes me love it even more. i love it the most!
Oh sleeping stars 🌟
Excelente, muchas por compartir. Cerca de adquirir mi "Time Package". 🤘
That art work ❤
That's what my soul needed.
Great music, amazing vocals and fantastic band !
damn this still sounds good. past 0:40 is so unique
This is the BEST song from the wintersun album. Soooo good
waiting to August 30th to get all this perfection music and make my Elden Ring's gameplays better and better, thanks master musician Jari!
Knowing how much harder was to record music while you were recording these, they have much more importance than Time II even if you ask me!
It's great to hear the evolution. It doesn't matter how the drums sound or the guitar tone used, this song is just phenomenal.
Probably my favorite wintersun
gods sleeping stars will forever be my favorite wintersun song. i cannot fully exlpain it either just that it hits me everytime in every inch of my body when that melody at 0:54 kicks in. jari truly thank you for creating especially this song i truly am grateful
This is awesome. I actually like some parts of this over the official version!
Lets gooooo 🌌
Jari will you make a playthrough for guitars of the first album if you make that happen it will be awesome
I don’t know if we can handle Jari’s package if it gets that big
This is my favourite! Probably the whole debut album IS my favorite. Not was, okay! This sounds classic! 🖤🤘
A full remaster would be good. This sounds really cool.
this is... a full remaster, of the demo. The original will sound a LOT more raw than this, both versions will be in the package
Perkele
You are a music god Jari.
Wintersun scratches an itch that almost no other band can get
Jari, will the legendary demos be on streaming after the release? As a big fan of your work and oldschool melodeath that can't afford the package (I know it has a big discount and the price is more than fair) I would like to have a way to listen to all this. Still really looking for the album(s)!
Classic
0:39 on the album version this part always makes me feel like I'm alone in a crisp -30°C winter night. This version sounds like little Jari first school guitar performance 😄👍
It's less dramatic and sad with the higher tuning. Very interesting
Awesome, sounds like the 8bit soundtrack to an old school videogame.
When I first heard this song, I had been smoking some weed, and I remember writing in a notebook that this song made me think of some kind of Japanese brothel.
0:37 Such an interesting, more folk-ish, arrangement!
That's interesting... The production is (obviously) really poor but damn that just adds a pretty cool charm to the song. I don't know how to explain but I really like it
Jari, could you tell how some songs passed the cut to be on the first Wintersun album, like this one, and not others ? Now, with some step back, would you have changed the selection and added others ?
Just imagine if this one would be properly rerecorded and got an official…oh wait!
Impossible song!!!
sorry for the spam, this is my third comment, i like this guitar sound more than the new one! especially at the 0:54 mark; sounds more emotional. thanks again jari. listened to this like 25 times now.
Damn this is magical ✨, I’m just curious how old were you when you made this? 🥺
18-19.

Sounds very good and nostalgic. It has that same sound like the Death and the Healing demo. I have though another request. Would it be possible to know, when the vocals for Time I and II were recorded? We know that drums and bass and melody guitars were recorded in 2006-07, rhythm guitars in 2011, and synths between 08 and 11, but what about the vocals? I used to follow the wintermadnessforum and once in while, there were updates on songs from 2008, where you said that some of the vocals were not done yet. I would be really curious, from when the vocals are on The way of the Fire for example, or One with the Shadows, as they sound pretty "old", in a good way.
The vocals for TIME II were recorded mostly from 2006 to 2011. However, most of the recording sessions in 2006 and 2007 involved only guitar recordings (and a lot of gear problems), and therefore, the majority of the vocals, about 90%, were recorded between 2008 and 2011 (most of this period was making the orchestrations, though). If I remember right, it is possible that I still re-recorded a few parts for "Silver Leaves" somewhere around 2012 - 2014 (but only like 1%).
@@WintersunJari Wow, that's actually fascinating, because when we hear, for example, The Way of the Fire, it's like time travel, because the drums, bass, guitars were recorded in 2006, orchestrations between 08-11, vocals like you said 2006-11, so pretty much every instrument, was recorded in a different era and stage of life, and not all in a matter of weeks or months, like on most albums, like the Forest Seasons. That's very interesting actually if you think about it!
Why isn't it August 30th yet
Yeah indeed!
OOOHH SLEEPING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!
The start is giving me black metal vibes, pretty much a sombre feel (in a good way!)
Just noticed at 0:38 that subtle NES sounding synth in the background, what is that!?
Check this video out and read the story in the description, and you will find out (it's the same sound): 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/LO3iBknbc7I/v-deo.html
this some good shit
✨🙏✨
My Morrowind and Oblivion music! Best band ever!
Wow, sounds awsome , only the music. And the time II package goes great. ❤🤘
Jari, is this the same demo you sent Kai before recording the actual album?
Yes, it is.
Would you ever consider some form of physical release for the early demos?
Ảo :))
Holyshiiiieeet, I am 18 again
An old friend
Doesn't it remember The Phantom of the Opera for anyone but me?
you can hear the good old drum machine from the early day lol VST wasnt as good as today.
I accidentally had UA-cam on 2x speed and this song sounds very questionable on that speed haha

This isn't Sleeping Stars...this is Sadness and Hate outro. Don't even know your own songs 🙄
