Sleeping Sun

This is one of my favourite Nightwish's songs ever. I love it so much. I love the lyrics . I nearly cried when I heard it for a first time. Vocals and music are pretty amazing too. I prefer 2005 version.

Me too,2nd is a few batter...
I hadn't noticed it when I bought Oceanborn,when I heard 2005 version I realized how beautiful song is...

I like the 2nd verison better than the first. Its one of my favorite Nightwish songs.

I really love this song.It`s one of my all time`s favorites.The lyrics are so..emotional.Tuomas did a great job,aswell Tarja singing it,i don`t know which version i preffer the most,but in 2005 one her voice sounds more versatille,but in the old one sounds more operatic so it`s hard 2 decide.But anyway this song is pure gold best ballad ever.

I love 2005 version more....It's a great song(also makes me cry 'cause of beautiful lyrics)

Yes I think the 2005 version sounds a little more emotional,and Nettie`s version is also very beautiful but in a totally diffrent way

totally agree

Thanks

Oh how I wish to go down with the Sun...Sleeping , Weeping...With You

so beautiful

Very touching
I`ll stop now...i don`t have words to describe this beautiful song

agree

All the versions of it are so beautifuil..the best NW ballad

For me the Islander is best ballad but SS deserves great second place

SS and The Islander are my two favorites aswell

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 nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
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
222 days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet`s play
Until there`s nothing left to say

I prefer the 2005 version. I dont really know why I just do. And it has Marco playing on it so thats always good

It's such a beautiful song. The lyrics are so haunting, I love it. I actually prefer Anette's version of it. Rock Werchter 2008 is just the most amazing preformance of it.

Ugh, another one of my favorites

I love the original music video so the original version is defs my favorite, but I love the EoaE version too.

Sleeping Sun isn't one of my favorites. I don't know why it's not, I just don't ever specifically put it on. I'll listen when the song comes on though. I do prefer the original to the 2005 version though.

2005 version for me!! I love it very much!

Along with Gethsemane it's my favourite song!
It's just so...epic and gracefully beautiful.
But I prefer the original version much more.
