![HOW DO THEY DO THIS? REACTION to NIGHTWISH - Sleeping Sun [LIVE in Tampere]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8-FjsceZh88/mqdefault.jpg)
Video is filmed in Lapland, northern Finland. Tuomas wrote this as a request for the sun eclipse in Europe in 1999 from the German record label, he didn't like the idea, but he wrote one of the most memorable Nightwish song ever.
I remember reading from a newspaper back then that the mosquitos were like grazy on Tarja during the filming. And they filmed big part of it at the middle of the night.
@@mantailuaa yes, that is so, she could barely sing because of the mosquitos, maybe they did chose Lapland because the sun doesn't go down in the summer at all :)
Many great composers (in fact, most of them) wrote music on commission.
@@alanfoster6589 well yes, if we go back to Mozart and Beethoven or any other from that era, they wrote their compositions on commands mostly from the Kings, and still they died with nothing.
@@mantailuaa You can actually see the mosquitos on the video at some points, for example at 9m15s flying at the camera =)
I think it's worth noting that Tarja was only 21 or 22 when this was recorded. She has a vocal presence beyond her years.
I can't believe how different she sounds - almost like it isn't her at all. The whole resonance of the voice sounds different. Her face looks very different as well - did she have some cosmetic procedures between then and the End of an Era concert?
@@AllieB-11.11 she just lost a lot of weight and her voice changed, because she didn't use her voice properly on first 3 albums, so after "Wishmaster" she changed her vocal technique to save hew voice.
Nightwish - The Siren (End Of An Era concert)
Yes!
Yes pls
That one's a masterpiece.
Yes!!! The Siren...please ... !
Deep Silent Complete with Tarja from "From Wishes To Eternity" live is also another track worth checking it. Her vocals are simply majestic.
Yes please!
YES PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Their live performance of this song (Tarja in white dress) is one of the most goosebumpsy experiences they did.
BEST BALLAD OF NIGHTWISH. Tarja is everything and more!
This is a song that I think really hits the essence of who Tarja is and what she brought to the band. It focuses a lot on the warm and deep quality of her voice, moving slowly and roundly through the lyrics to create something majestic. It's not something that's extremely hard to sing technically but it's all in how it marries with Tarja's voice that creates the unique feel.
It's pretty clearly contrasted with the second era of the band with Anette, whom I think more represents a lighter and more agile vocal style, which brings songs like Amaranth that I don't think were likely to have been written before. Then with Floor I find it harder to really nail down one essence as it's rather her versatility that makes the biggest change for the band. It's even more marvelous how much great music Tuoumas has made with one band but with three different singers, and in the end it all still feels like that one band.
I had ballet lessons as kid and teen. For nightwish, especially this song I move the living room furniture to the walls and challenge the ballet skills that are left over. For me the best way to express the feelings this song gives me.
🐱👤💕😍
the video of night13 by auri should be a personal favorite of yours... ;-)
That is amazing! I would LOVE to see a ballet where this is one of the themes! That would be magical! :)
I see ballet as well...ALOT actually, when listening to Nightwish
12yr old me: *fighting tears and chills*
30yr old me: its a losing battle bro. Pass me a tissue
45 yrs old here and still cannot listen to this song and not get tears in my eyes
Same here brother 😢🤘
Joining the tear-crew, shout out!
18yo and don't even bother to fight against it
I have never actually teared up to the song itself, but I have teared up in frustration when I could not find it online (I don't have a physical copy. I hate having to rely on other services in order to get this. It was in limbo there for a while). The song DOES give me a warm, fuzzy, comfortable feeling. Always will be one of my favorites. :)
This song... all i can say is it saved my life. Literally, i am here typing because this song played in the background as i was in the darkest most lowest moment in my life.I discovered Nightwish with this song 20 years ago. I am bawling crying here. Thank you so much for reacting to this Chase, love love your videos.
Music is powerful and I'm so glad you're okay. Promise lots more videos to come my friend
@@ChaseCarneson It really is powerful, and fantastic. Thanks Chase, I always look forward to your videos. Cheers from Ireland :)
The song did the same for me about the same time around 2000-2001. I was in a very dark place and discovering this band, this song and a few more from Oceanborn kept me sane.
Coming full circle, going through a dark time since last year I re-discovered the power these songs had for me through reactions.
Tears are flowing again but I embrace them.
Danas.. I’m glad you are ok. Similar situation with me. Thanks to this song. I’m doing great and I’m a huge fan now of Nightwish, with Tarja ❤️
Chase: I WAS IN A GARDEN.
Tarja: I WAS IN A BATHTUB.
Well done, Peachy!! :-)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There is also 2005 version where video isn't as "naked" and it's also little different. ruclips.net/video/_yMCSDbwaCo/видео.html
Charmeon: I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE HIDDEN PLUMBING, excellent workmanship.
@@Charmeon1 They thought of EVERYTHING, didn’t they?!
This song does things to me with both Tarja and Floor. With Tarja I feel as if a siren is calling me to follow her, it got something mystic about it that just sparks ones fantasy. Floor on the other hand turns this into a lullaby, tucking you into bed with her voice. I absolutly love this song, helped me several times when I had a creative blockade.
I will always view this song as a personal birthday gift from Tuomas. It was written to commemorate the solar eclipse of August 11th, 1999, which happened to coincide with my birthday. Best birthday party ever, sitting on the balcony watching the eclipse.
Was it really? That's awesome, August 11th is my birthday as well. This was the song that helped me find Nightwish. The end of the song played in part of a little video I used to watch a lot, it was so beautiful I had to find it
Hey, August 11th birthday gang unite :) I still remember watching the ecplise on vacation in Northern Italy.
@@pflegerich We only had a partial eclipse in southern Germany, so I guess you got even less of an eclipse in northern Italy.
Did the sun still get noticeably dimmer?
@@naphackDT As far as I remember it did and there was this greyish "eclipse light mood" all over the place. We had welding goggles so we could look at the sun and see a bit of the ecplise. The big event however was watching all the TV coverage with planes chasing the ecplise etc.
This is a Tarja song. She owns this one - no matter how great Floor's version is - this is like a Tarja signature and will always belong to her.
I feel like this is evidence to Tuomas's genius. Each song is crafted around the singer so well that it's almost impossible for another singer to do it as well. even though they're all incredible.
@@Cabernal 100%. Tuomas knows his stuff. Pure genius.
I'm agree with you. Tarja makes this song so special
Totally agree. I love Floor, I think she's a perfect fit for the band. But that's not to say that Tarja was bad, she was great in her own way. Her clean pure tone works so well for this song.
I think all ballads from the era Nightwish did them are purely fitting Tarja. Floor’s good, but different. Anette… had less volumen.
One of my favourites from NW. I discovered Nightwish through Floor but this song made me fall in love with Tarja. She is perfect for this song. Stunning. Great reaction again Chase!
never get tired to listen to nw, they are so special and never get boring.
One of the first songs I ever heard from Nightwish, made me fall in love immediately with the band 🖤
This song got me into Nightwish... To this day, it has a special place in my heart, and it is still my favorite song from Nightwish. And no matter how good Floor is, this song has a special vibe when sang by Tarja.
Even if it's on your own time, you NEED to see the End of an Era version of this song...it's one of my favorite Tarja performances ever, her voice is perfectly on point with it, and her outfit fits so well.
This one is special, my intro to NW when I was about 11 years old, now Iam 30 😋, they still play this song on the radio from time to time here in my country (Slovakia)
Same here, in the Czech Republic ;-)
Respect from Romania my brothers.
You lucky guys... Those Songs to hear in german Radio.... This wl never Happen
This is one of those songs I enjoyed hearing Tarja, Anette and Floor sing - it is that well written. Certainly there are songs in the catalog that play to the talents of the then-current vocalist but this is not one of them as the excellent version Crewish put out attests.
Such a beautifully composed & performed song. Can hear how Tarja's voice changed over the years. You can tell how much she worked on her instrument 🎶🎤
Oh this is such a pretty song, noticed you've chosen the '98 version. Good one, vocal are why better then the 2005 version. 👍
although the video for the 2005 version is a lot better imo
For the Decades best of they merged the two versions together. The singing is like in the 1998 original but the music has the slightly extended intro from the 2005 version.
*Definitely. Little side note btw. apparently you know the song from a younger "Oceanborn"-- edition. The first edition of "Oceanborn" is without "Sleeping Sun". "The song was recorded in May -- June 1999 and was released for the first time on the EP "Sleeping Sun (Ballads for the Eclipse)". It's the 1999 Original Version. Greetings & Stay safe.*
This original is still the the best. Always felt there was no Need for the rerecording.
I love this version of the song. Always gives me the chills. Way better than the 2005 version
One of the first Nightwish songs I ever heard, still get chills when I hear it.
Same. One of my all time favorites.
One more... Cannot wait to see this!!!
One of my absolute favorites. Love it since i heared it the first time over 20 years back, and even since Floor does a good job on it, for me it will always be a Tarja signature song.
For me, too. I love Tarja's voice in this song!
Agreed👏🏻🎤🎶🤗
I discovered Nightwish through this song in 2000. I'm hooked on them ever since.
I discovered this song on a compilation cd called Metal Dreams. I was stunned by it's elegance and beauty and thus began my Nightwish fandom. At the time, I was going through some pretty brutal bouts of anxiety, so would play this song over and over again to calm down. I can't imagine how many times I have listened to it, but it is as powerful and alluring now as it was then. It was a pleasure to watch you make this discovery for yourself.
This is the song that let me discover nightwish. It was on a collection called "circle of magic" I believe, which was all calming music. And I wanted to hear more. I didn't expect them to be metal at that time, After hearing more, I got hooked and started to collect all their albums. And it still gives me goosebumbs every time I listen to it.
This particular song is Tarja’s alone! Especially THIS version! For me, Floor’s got the rest covered, but this one’s Tarja’s! This one’s best for me because she hasn’t yet developed the heavy operatic vibrato- just BEAUTIFUL!
I think this is one of the only songs that all 3 singers are excellent at.
I still have a little bit of trouble letting go of Tarja's voice. I like this version better than Floor's. This and Nemo are strictly Tarja songs for me. But I have to admit, Floor totally stole Ghost Love Score and a few others. I really try to be open-minded. Some things just really stick, you know?
@@jamescurfman3284 I used to be that way about this particular song, but I've recently leaned more towards Floor on it.
@@TheJatonEffect Cool! I am glad that you can move on more easily than I can. Good for you. :)
I love your smile when she begins to sing the chorus... you were delighted...
I adore this song... is a beautiful balad. I'm glad you chose this version with Tarja. This, like Everdream are Tarja's songs in my opinion. ☺😊...
Awesome analysis as always 🤘🏻
This is one of my absolute fav NW songs and when Floor sang it in Tampere i was reminded why
Have you done Paradise by Within Temptation..... tarja sings on that one! Their voices are incredible together! The guitar work is FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah this is the original Sleeping Sun...I have this song close to my heart cos I was 15 in 99 and I listen to it one night on MTV back time they have I think friday or saturday nights that was just metal bands videos and i hear Tarja and I was "OMG what is this?? Who is she? Omg I'm crying what?". And that is why i love Tarja since ages and she is an amazing goddess.
Love your reactions Chase. You have such "good musical ear" ....as always. :-) Tuomas wrote this song especially for and inspired by Tarja. This song is one of the songs that got me into listening to Nightwish, (and now being a total Metal-headhead. ..lol..); me having musical and operatic dreams as a youngster. Nightwish basically made me "open up my music-palett", and discover the BEAUTY OF MUSIC IN ALL WAYS AND FORMS ! !.... (almost.... ) ;-)
One of my favorites with Tarja! Absolute love this one!
What a masterpice! ❤️
This one in my headphones, close my eyes and just fly away.
If I do not am wrong there is another official vid, a later one, maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong.
This is the first Nightwish song that i heard, i was 13... here my love for Nightwish was born! Thanks Chase for reminding me of a great time ❤
THIS is the song, and the version, that got me into Symphonic Metal!
This song is about the total solar eclipse 1999. Branded in my memories as a truly magical moment. And Nightwish makes me relive it every time I hear this song.
Thank you for this🥰Tarja🥰🥰🥰
oooh i'm so glad you get to this song, as it's one of my (many) favorite songs by them. i'm also happy you chose the version sang by Tarja, as i personaly like this version a little more over Floor's version. it's one of only a few songs that i think her voice suits the song better than Floor. this is just my personal opinion, i don't want to start a war here, we all know that both Tarja, Annette and Floor are amazing :D
This song used to be played at the start of naptime in my kindergarten.
What kind of heavenly place do you live in that this was played in your kindergarten? :O
@@raivyn79 asking the real questions! Wtf mate
@@raivyn79 sounds like Finland :)
@@raivyn79 in Finland. have been listening to Nightwish from age 4
This is the song that got me hooked on Nightwish. This is where it began. :)
Chase, Walking in the Air - similarly beautiful, maybe you know the song, original is from the animated movie for kids/families that is very popular during Christmas.
Oh one of the first songs I've heard of them back in the days. I love Tarja's voice in there!
Sleeping Sun is probably my all time favorite Nightwish song. Thanks for cvering it and giving some insight. This Nightwish journey is and will be interesting
I personally think that this is one of the best guitar solos within Nightwish's catalog, alongside Ghost Love Score. Whilst simple, they capture the raw emotion of the songs. Chase has said many times over that Emppu plays in service to the songs rather than to show off. Emppu is a very capable musician, but beyond that, it shows maturity that he puts the feelings of a song over flaunting talent.
In addition, I will say that I personally prefer the 2005 re-recording of this song. I feel like it has a more refined tone and tighter instrumentation. I also like it's accompanied music video. Whilst this video showcases Finland's beautiful landscapes, I love the newer video's more cinematic vibe that is subtle but still tugs at the heart.
Yes, finally. I’ve been asking for this one for months. I hope Tank gets to this song soon as well.
This was First Song Ever that gave chills, Back in '99. And still gives me chills...
To be specific, I like to say that Tarja sings like a wolf. She has a beautiful voice. But, it is a unique, haunting, howling beauty that can chill one’s soul and easily bring tears to one’s eyes. The best time to hear this song is while it is dark outside. Listen then carefully to her powerful vocals howling in your ears and you can be sure you’ll be captured by the night and drifting into dreamworld. It just might scare the willies out of you like it did me. But, I betcha you will not regret any of it. 🥰
Tarja looked so young in here, almost a different person
Both End of an Era and Tampere are great live versions to check
This is one of my favorite Tarja songs and I will forever prefer her version of it.
There is actually a second official videoclip for this song where all the band members appear in. Sound wise there is no difference because it is the same studio audio but visually...
Then "Walking in the air" and "Sleepwalker" - something simillar
Dont forget Swanheart.
Sleepwalker!!!
All hail the TRUE AND BEAUTIFULLY ENCHANTED QUEEN, of Nightwish, TARJA!!!😀👍👍👍
Tarja looks so finnish in this video.
Still remember the first time i heard Nighwish in 99, driving home in the middle of the night in a snowstorm, such magical experience, they've stayed in my heart since then. Although the song i heard first was bless the child :) always a good reaction Chase, keep up the fantastic job 🤘
Instant like for Nightwish, this particular song, and you Sir!
The least metal song Nightwish ever did, but one of the most beautiful
Good one. I love the classical approuch that Tarja gives on this particular song, especially if you think that she was only 21 yo. I mean, its a rich and warm tone well suported for someone so young. But what I love the most watching your reactions is that you make me realize new layers and sensations in songs that i've being listening for, like, the past 15 years. Thanks a lot!
It´s the second Song i`ve ever heard from nightwish. more than 20 years ago. and still so beautiful
My favourite live versions of this song are End of an era (Tarja) and Masters of rock (Floor) 😊
My very first Nightwish experience and Nightwish as band was one of the reasons I became more and more a (symphonic-) metal-fan.
Yes! the OG version is the best. :)
This song is just perfection. And Tarja makes it so beautiful.
Man, another one of my favourite songs. And love this original version. Great reaction!
Gethsemane - Helsinki 1999 live recording :)
This is such a beautiful song. It sounds great no matter if it’s the studio version or live with Tarjia or Floor. Just great songwriting.
I recommend Elvenpath with Tarja from "From Wishes To Eternity" live.
As Marco is leaving NW, I also recommend "The Phantom of the Opera" (official live)
It's pure magic!
This is one of the first songs I ever heard from Nightwish, and fell in love with it immediately. Tarja's beautiful vocals give me chills every time 💜
Oh boy this brings me back to listening to mp3s while lurking on IRC in my room 20+ years ago... Probably haven't listened to to this version in almost 20 years... Crazy to think
Like many others have commented this is probably the first song of theirs I heard and the one that put them on repeat in my WinAMP playlist for a good while
This is the first Nightwish song i ever heard and what made me a fan it was arround 2003/04 i think😊
This is the song that started my journey with a Nightwish. Saw it on RUclips and it will always have a special meaning in my life.❤️
This song always make me smile and cry. Happy and sad at the same time. Beautiful. Tarja sings it well on record on both videos this one and the 2005 version. She pronounces the lyrics better than live. That's why I love Floors live version better. But this song is definitely on my top 10 songs ever. Beautiful. So happy that you finally heard it ❤️ Another ballads that I like are Forever Yours (Tarja), Eva (Anette) & Meadows of Heaven (Anette) 😊👍🏻
This is one of those Tarja songs that I primarily like hearing it from her. Even Floor doesn't come close for me.
That's the mezzo-soprano register that I loved the first time I heard this song, using her classical training with the amazing music, you'll get this marvelous song.
Sometimes I wonder if she hadn't join to nightwish, she could have become in a great opera singer.
❤❤❤ A personal top ten Nightwish for me. I hope you also check out the 2005 music video version, and the live versions from End of an Era (Tarja) and at Tampere (Floor). For a couple years, before I started getting their albums, Sleeping Sun was entirely what Nightwish was for me, along with Nemo, Ever Dream, and Walking in the Air. Those four were all I had, but it was enough to make them one of my all time favorites already. ❤❤❤
my top 3 Nightwish songs! When i need to relax, i put this on, just close my eyes and let it flow... Works everytime!!
It’s honestly SO weird to hear this version from over 20 years ago. Her voice sounds so different now, so much more versatility and a much lighter tone. You can tell that she’s learned a lot over the years about how to stay grounded in classical techniques but adapt them to what the song needs. Hell, she even killed it on a *bluegrass cover* with Steve N Seagulls! Now that’s an arrangement that would be fun to see your reaction to 😂
I was so shocked when I first saw that was a thing but she absolutely NAILED it!
The first Nightwish song i've herd, without even knowing the band's name. It was even used on tv commercials back in the day in Greece!
Tarja was very young and still in the process of transformation to the 2005 diva we mostly have in our minds.
Can't wait for this reaction!
One of my favorite songs by Nightwish and one of Emppus best guitar solos
This and Walking in the Air are the two songs that always get me. Usually I prefer Floors voice, but theese two are Tarjas. As always great analysis.
Chills, every time. Oh Tuomas, how do you do it?
This is one of a few songs where I prefer Tarja's voice to Floor. She has that mystical sound in her voice that the song needs.
One of my favorite songs from Nightwish. There is another official video of this song, 2005 version. Tarja sang it differently, and the video is more interesting.
This one is still one of my favorite songs ever. Had it as CD single back then.
This is the song that got me into nightwish at the time with Tarja.
First time live was when floor sang it. Now I'm torn which one I like more.
Guess I like them both 😂😂
baby Tarja!!!
One of my favorite songs by nightwish
That's one of the first NW songs I ever listened to, it was even airing on music tv stations here in Germany - when those were still airing actual music vids instead of garbage reality tv shows 🥰 I even sang this,"Two for the misery", WT's "Somewhere" and probably some Xandria stuff to the baby girl I was babysitting at the time 😊 Her and our dog when he was just a little puppy that didn't want to fall asleep at night 😅
I would’ve love to seen you do a double reaction to this song from tarja to floor version. Both versions are exceptional from their studio to live
I`m glad that you like this too. This is one of the very first songs that take me to Nightwish journey and rabbit hole, been there since Oceanborn.. :)
The bath is coming!!!
This was the only Pre-Floor Nightwish song I’d heard for the longest time. Actually it wasn’t till I rediscovered the band that I realized this was one of their songs.
I REALLY hope you do a reaction to this same song, Sleeping Sun, by the Nightwish Crew (Crewish). Completely different take and incredibly good.
So pleased you chose this version:)
When I die, I want this song to be played! It takes me places now and I wonder where it will take me then...
The Song that made me a Nightwishfan many years ago, and I get the same chills today while listening. Great Review - thanks
So awesome song and melody. And the best version of this. In the End of an Era concert there is the best live. I wish this will be played in my funeral.
Just some ramblings of a relatively new Nightwish fan.
First, I am surprised by discovering that there are 2 recorded versions and videos of this song. I knew the 2005 version with the battle scene which Nightwish posted on their RUclips channel just recently. I am surprised that Nightwish went all the way to shoot a new music video for this.
Second, I consider this song as part of my 4 favorite Tarja songs, e.g. songs that are perfectly suited for her voice and style. These 4 songs are Sleeping sun, Nemo, Walking in the air and Phantom of the Opera. maybe there are others that I have not discovered yet. For the other songs I have heard Tarja sing, she is of course great as well, but I see them less as songs that only Tarja can sing perfectly.
for a live version of this song, im gonna suggest a double react at end of an era with tarja and tampere with floor. they both absolutely crush it
I am addicted to this song. I feel it my heart and my soul, the emotions it brings to the top are just out of this world. I catch myself crying...
She is glorius .
Great reaction! This song along with Walking in the Air and Nemo, drew me into Nightwish gravity well. I love Tarja's slight accent. (love Floors version too)
