Emotional Nightwish Reaction | Sleeping Sun

  • This video is quite emotional, so if you're looking for a straightforward reaction, you might want to skip it. As some of you may already know, my beloved co-star Bruno has recently passed away after a short illness. Many of you have reached out with kind words, and I wanted to respond. I did so through this reaction video, which serves as my way of expressing myself. Some of you suggested that I listen to ‪@nightwish‬ 's "Sleeping Sun" because it helped you cope with loss. However, for me, it was too overwhelming.
    In this video, I'm quite vulnerable. I've been grappling with the decision to share it because it captures one of my most raw and painful moments. However, I believe withholding it would go against the honesty I strive for on this channel, which feels disingenuous and hypocritical to me. Additionally, I've come to realise that there may never be a time in the foreseeable future when I won't break into tears at the mere thought of Bruno, so I won't be able to hide how upset I am anyway - I don't think any of this makes sense and I have to stop typing or I am going to cry in a public space as I type this.
    On with the show.

    Gosh I’m reading all your comments right now and I’m in floods of tears again. I have to stop or I’m going to actually dissolve and start sobbing. Thank you. I love to know other people get that he wasn’t just a pet or just a cat to me. And I’m so sorry to anyone who has lost or is about to lose their fur baby. I feel you so much. Please anyone who reads this just go hug your pet for me and give them that extra treat. I’d give anything to hold Bruno one more time or feed him some fish. I’ll respond to comments soon. I’m going to go grab Luna and demand some shoulder time with her ❤❤❤

      Feeling and crying with you. Lost two kitties the past 6 years, and it was hard, very hard. First of old age, 22 1/2 years, blind, organ failure, she had to be let pass into eternal sleep. Our last cat we inherited from our daughter, she had no space in the center of town where she lived anymore, and was going to travel for a long time. Unfortunately, she was poisoned. Our vet tried really hard to save her, drips, and all kind of other procedures, but eventually nothing worked, and that was about 10 months ago. We had her for five years. She passed away in my arms, with a final little purr while I was stroking her. I am starting to cry again thinking about it.
      I do think it is no shame to cry over losing a pet, a loved companion really, at all. I do hope it helps you in your recovery, try to think of the good moments, that is what I always try.
      Love, hugs, warmest regards, Wim

      I said farewell to my doggy who was growing up with me since I was a 8yo kid, hi lived with us almost 20 years, few years since then have passed and now I have a kitty. Shes soooo adorable, shes like my little baby, I took her to early (she was only 7 weeks old) but I had to. I raised her literally, she now treats me as her cat parent. I have nightmare thoughts from time to time when I realise that she will also be gone someday... I know there will be long fantastic years untill this happen but it will. She was soooo tiny small, she was sleeping on my lap when I was listening to Nightwish reaction for all those 3 years I have her. This will be heartbreaking for me to watch You right now. The life isnt fair eh?
      And damn You chose the wrong song for such a mood O.O be strong over there anyway.

    So sorry about Bruno - these wonderful creatures mean so much to us. The emotional depth of this song is illustrated by the fact that on the opening gig of Nightwish's recent tour in Belgium, Floor broke down in tears at the end. The pressure of having recently had surgery and treatment for breast cancer was a lot for her to take on. So yes, the meaning of the song and the emotional delivery is a lot. We all share your sadness and offer our sympathies. The apprentices are delightful.

    Please don't feel you need to apologize for sharing your emotions, emotion is what binds us all but sadly most of us don't have the courage to let the world see what we feel, ultimately keeping us all in our sad, silent and separate lives, believing we are strange or deficient for feeling the things we do. If we could all open up, be human and share as you do, it would be an infinitely better world. Empathy grows in this way. I am sorry you are hurting, but the hurting is a tribute to the depth of your love. It is easy to see how loved Bruno was and is. We all leave traces of ourselves with others, especially those who love us. Bruno has left much of himself with you and with his apprentices as well. Enjoy the parts of you that are him. Love doesn't leave or die it is a bond that can't be erased by death or the passing of time.
    Thank you for your courage and your trust in us to understand. You really make a difference in the world, and you have made an imprint on my heart and the hearts of many, just as Bruno has on yours. Sending virtual hugs, and from one spirt to another, you are loved. We cry, mourn and heal along with you. Thanks again for allowing us in, to share your life experience in this way it is a precious gift, we will handle with care.

    I totally understand! Since we moved to Austin, Texas, in 2014, I have lost my show dog, named Peek-a-boo. She was my constant companion, and my girly girl. We traveled all across the Southeastern coast of the US going to dog shows. I cried for months when she passed. We did have one of her puppies, that was born with fluid on the brain and his skull cap had not grown in completely. He passed in 2017 at 13 years old, when the vet told us he probably wouldn't live beyond 5 weeks. A few months later we rescued a little Maltese who had a bad kidney from the neglect. We took care of him, and gave him more love than we know he never had until his kidney failed.
    I grieve with you...as I know how much it hurts. I was crying with you, and am sending you big hug

    Firstly, you made it. Secondly, you are NOT an idiot for crying. It takes more guts to show real emotion than it ever takes to hide them. Those we love, and it is never just limited to humans, are only truly gone when we forget them & there is so obviously a snowball's chance in hell of that ever happening because he wasn't just a cat, there's no such thing. He was & will always be a part of your family, a part of you. Thank you for showing us what it means, what it REALLY means to be open, honest, vulnerable, genuine & real. Sending you the biggest, tightest, warmest hug. The Rainbow Bridge is never easy, they're called fur babies for a reason, but you have NOTHING to apologize for.

    O my dear,
    I'm so sorry for your loss. I am myself an intense cat lover and I can understand your feelings. I'm seventy now and all my life I had cats and every time they had their end their lives I went was in tears. In november my dear, sweet and tender Luna died and I was in tears for weeks and I still am every now and then when I think of her. And the uncertainty that you feel about if you (and the vet) treated her well is so vexing.
    This was certainly not a humiliation for you. You look a compleet and healthy person with brains and feelings.

    So sorry about the loss of Bruno. I know the pain only too well. This song always reminds me of my beautiful 18 year old desert dog Bertie who was struggling with mobility and got very sick. We knew the next day we were going to have to say goodbye to him and I sat up with him for hours through the night, and the whole time it was going through my head on repeat, "I wish that this nighttime would last for a lifetime." If it had, I'd never have had to let him go. Kudos for having the courage to show your emotions. Bruno's apprentices will do a great job of helping you through your grief 🥰

    Dear Dom, I know exactly how you feel - same I had to go thru when my beloved dog passed away 3 years ago. She was such a deep part of me and even the best 'girlfriend' I ever met. It takes time to say good bye - I know. Take the chance of grieving and do not be ashamed about only one tear you spend. Bruno is worth it. I will never again have another dog, as I think he would see me die, and to have a pet means to have responsibility for its whole life, not mine. I am glad to see your kittens, they will have a huge part in your healing. Ok, I think I said enough now, but I wanted to tell you that it is part of nature. Richard Dawkins (maybe you know this from Nightwishs 'Greatest Show on Earth') brought the following words up: We are going to die and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die, because they never will be born.
    All I can do from here in Germany is to reach out for you and hug you virtually!

    We are sad your lovely self is gone.
    But we (she) are so glad you had your time under the sun. You made life better, even for fools on the net, watching your tail parade past the cam.
    Dom, you need hugs... and 'effective' hugs don't come from the screen... you know best what to do.
    But until then, here's a virtual shoulder.
    Bruno: make your spirit known every once in a while .. tip over a plant, let your furz irritate a nose or two.
    You know the best way to pop in... maybe in a vision in a sunset's dimmest light.
    It's comfort, for her. As she was a comfort for you.
    ... sorry, I need to go cry now. Damn you Dom. And, love to jyou and yours, as always.

    So sorry to hear of Bruno's passing. It was obvious how much he meant to you, and it's a very painful thing to go through. He'll be missed on the channel too, and I was grateful (as I'm sure you were) that he fought to hang on longer than expected. But I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier to deal with now.
    I loved the video of Bruno with his apprentices, as well as the new footage of them. I'm glad that you have them around, and I hope they help you get through this difficult time.
    Probably not the best Nightwish song to react to under the circumstances, but also in a way, very fitting.
    Wishing you all the best moving forward! 🫶

    So sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this video with us. Please don't apologize for sharing your true self with us. One of the things I love about Nightwish is how the mange to invoke such strong emotions in me. I hope Sleeping Sun helped you heal if only in a small way. I will offer a snippet of lyrics from the song Until Eternity by the Dutch gothic symphonic metal band Blackbriar . It is a beautiful love song about a love that lives on through successive lives of the couple. "
    We live on and on and on
    Death is weak and we are strong
    On and on and on
    Time is weak and we are strong
    I would like to believe that those we love will appear again in whatever awaits us when we die. Many hugs for you and your kittens.

    You don't need to apologize for your reaction. I think most of us watch these types of videos because we want real human reactions to the things we love. As hard as it was for you to do this video, I appreciate your vulnerability and sincerity with how you felt about this song during a time of grief. There is no denying that music has the ability to help us navigate loss, and sometimes part of that is just having a good cry. I lost my kitty of 15 in November and my father who was also my best friend passed away on Jan 2nd. Rocking out to music on my commute to work every morning has been my only therapy.

The evening he died I stumbled over the Nightwish song "Turn Loose The Mermaids" sung by Anette which had the same impact on me like sleeping sun had on You. We never had a cat again, the older I get the less I can take it to see them pass away. All the best and greetings from Germany, Martin

    Hi. So sorry for your loss. I lost two of of my kitties during COVID, one in October, 2019, my dearest one, the not just a kitty, in June 2020. I had to put her down, I held her in my arms in a parking lot in my car, since I couldn’t go in, so they brought the medication to the car, then took her from me. Heartbreaking stuff for we mere mortals.
    Floor had a short bout with cancer in 2022, caught early, & removed, we, & of course she was so relieved. Floor being Floor soon went off to tour with the band sadly. She really needed more time, as anyone would. Dropping you a link of a fan video of one of those concerts, of Floor singing this song. As you can see you are in good company I would say. Btw…she got right on having her second child last year, we certainly can understand why, being a 41 year old woman. So happy everything turned out so well for her. Again, so sorry for your little guy. ❤

We had the vet come to the house and to be honest I howled with pain after he passed and just couldn't let him go. I couldn't breath or stop shaking. When the crematory people came to get him they laid him out for me and put flowers on him but I coudln't stop sobbing. I am crying now as I type this cos it's brought it back so raw and visceral.

    Sorry about Bruno,
    I understand the sadness and pain, it's hard to lost a beloved friend,
    I lost one of my dogs: Capitán (captain),
    12th january.
    Great reaction, certainly a moving song and performance,
    Greets!!

    Never an idiot. It is an emotional time for you. The reaction was great and sad and a worthy epitaph for Bruno.

    I have tears every time I watch this performance but of course there were more than normal this time due to your very moving reaction. RIP Bruno. Look after yourself and Lunar and Baxter. x

      Thank you. Luna has been so amazing. She snuggled Bruno’s old blanket and has been clinging to me. And today I got a framed picture of Bruno and when I put it down Baxter immediately went up and rubbed against it. I’m not exaggerating they’re like cartoon cats. And so sweet.
