One of the early Songs, it is about the solar eclips "two hundred and twenty two days of light will be desired by the night". Because that's the amount of time that went by before the eclipse (11th of August was the 223rd day of the year 1999). At that time their german record Label asked to write a song about it. One of the terms was " not longer than 3 minutes", Knowing Tuomas, he made it 4+

Hello, friend. Yes you are right. In my opinion, it has a second Level (we know Tuomas poets).It can also for a special time in our Life. (and not a good one). I see a fan video from Floors first concert after her Cancer surgery. By Sleeping Sun, she break out in tears.Grettings from nothern Germany 🤘

@@ralfmeyer9086 Yes Ralf the songs of Nightwish can have a different meaning for others. That's what makes Tuomas so famous.

Tuomas Holopainen is a generational composer/lyricist. Artists like him only come around about once every 100 years or so.

Hi guys. Another really fun reaction by both of you to this Tuomas composition and such a lovely little ballad sung by Floor. This performance at Masters of Rock was spectacular and very moving. Loved it.
@jasonmarshall7572 Жыл бұрын
Missed you guys Thank you for your reaction. People who rely on someone to write the lyrics for there band or group become someone elses puppet telling someone elses story. People who write for themselves or there band or group and who speaks from the heart are keeping it real and for Tuomas he's an empath like Floor writes from the heart and is intuned to nature. A lot of his lyrics touches our hearts. Also do check out Floors solo work to.

I concur with Frank WD, my favorite is also that 222 days of light will be desired by the night

Great reaction style and content, kudos! From what I hear, Tuomas almost turned down this commissioned work. To my and everybody else's pleasure, he didn't. And Floor's interpretation is just exquisite, with a build-up to match the music. One of my perennial favorites!

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video and comment, We try to read every comment, and though we don’t get to answer them all we really appreciate anytime someone takes the time to reach out to us. We feel like a song isn’t experienced unless you actually try to understand the lyrics. You can try to interpret what the artist meant/felt when writing it or even how you relate to them or how they make you feel when you hear them either way it’s a huge part of the whole experience for us so we do our best to try to touch on the whole project when we do a video/review. We are actually going to start members only breakdown videos on requests soon. It will be for people who like to get involved in conversation about lyrics and dissecting them or even just analyzing different themes of songs and possible alternative meanings that sort of thing. We had to take some time off the last month due to a death in the family and a job switch but we are getting back into the studio to record some new content soon and we will be starting the new members section. We will definitely put your request on the list, we haven’t heard of them and that’s the type of stuff we like to check out. We have A LOT to catch up on after the time off so if you get a chance you should stop in on one of our livestreams where we take requests and do live breakdowns and first listens we will usually do one live a week or so either on Sunday evening or another weekend evening. We always update our community tab when we are going to go live so keep your eye on it. Thanks again for your comment and the support on the channel, Much Love

I like your format! Lyrics are so often undervalued or even worse....cast aside as if they are just some mandatory filling to suppress silence. In your format you listen, read and appreciate them. It shows that at least YOU care!

Thank you for the appreciation, we actually get quite a bit of opposition for our format but we believe everyone should stay true to themselves & that we are all unique snowflakes, not everything is for everyone & that’s fine but ppl really need to learn to not hate the things they dislike or don’t understand, love getting comments from our like minded tribe, that’s why we do what we do, much love!

Although Floor is my favourite singer from Nightwish lead singers, there are some songs which i feel belongs to Tarja. This song is one of them. She has more operatic style which makes this song more gothic and intence.

Hubo una falta de reacciones a Nightwish con su cantante original, la cantante con la que saltaron a la fama fue Tarja Tururen y varias de las canciones que reaccionaron fueron cantadas originalmente por ella, de hecho las versiones de estudio de esas canciones son con la voz de Tarja como Ghost love score, everdream o Dead boys poem. Me sorprende que nadie te haya mencionado esto xd Here SLEEPING SUN tarja singin kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5C1g4CIja-Krqs
