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!
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 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.
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
"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 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 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. :) ;)
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 😊

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.
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.
Written for the 1999 Total Solar Eclipse! (also used an absolute ton for Titanic,Lusitania and Britannic, amongst others....)
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.
I love her vocals. Such angelic fluidity of opera.
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.

The beginning always sends chills through my body and I love it

YOU ARE A GRAMPFATHER 😢
my son also ❤
This is wild... hope he's doing amazing now
The best of Nightwish!
This has to be the unofficial theme song for Titanic... Great lyrics, amazing singing, and brilliant music!
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.
it was used in many various trailers like the brittanic Lusitania and some titanic
Edmond Fitzgerald
KilL3R *people together* both
It's such a beautiful song
>>For my dreams I hold my life
for wishes I behold my nights
the truth at the end of time
losing faith makes crime
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun…
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
😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
@@cush6827 I thought I am on r/iamverysmart when I saw your comment.
My beloved Titanic sent me here... ;)
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
"Sleeping Sun"
(Lyrics)

Titanic brought me here😭😭
It's called Solar Eclipse when the moon blocks the sunlight the moon made a giant shadow but it will get bright again
I LOVE THIS SONG
This song: Exists
Every sinking ship: My time has come
May we all take a moment to pray silently in memory of the (Her Majistys Hospital Ship) HMHS Britannic
;(
cri
she died in that year?
+DarkMario218 the HMHS Britannic sunk in 1916, by a underwater mine.
+Nick “RWD God” Takahashi or torpedo but most evidence points to a mine
Good song for shipwrecks!
True
This and Ghost Love are my favorites
Titanic Olympic Britannic r.i.p and all the ships that sunk 🚢🛶
One word: Amazing!
I realy like this song it means a lot to me
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.
