Sleeping Sun - Steve'n'Seagulls feat. Tarja Turunen

Here's a true classic metal ballad that we all remember from the early days of Nightwish. Tarja still manages to stun us all with her voice and presence. We felt like this song could fly back to its origins and to be performed with the sounds of the North Karelia. What a moment to play a song like this that illuminates the beauty of the nature at the verge of the midsummer and finalizes our work on the Seagulls'Nest Season 1. We loved every moment of making this series!

If you call Tarja Turunen a "witch" I wonder what you'd "classify" Ivete Sangallo or Claudia Leitte! Kkkkkkk!

[@mickhobbs901]

Tarja can sing with full band,orchestra or folk band in a old barn & still sound incredible.Well done guys just magical.

Yeah and in all these variations she will use the same technique. Lame

[@universe25.x]

@@larryzigler6812 what are you talking about? I’ve been listening to Tarja over 10 years and more. I’ve never been a hater to her. I think you have a hearing problem if you don’t hear her singing the same technique all the time. Even where it’s not necessarily. And taking about genetics? Really ? You’re pathetic

I love when Tarja goes soprano, no one could do it quite like her that's for sure.

[@ekzac]

Legends say that she once sang the aria "Queen of the Night" (The Magic Flute), but she reached such a high note that they banished the song to protect Earth's structures.

Natalia Tsarikova can. Check her out on KZbin. She does phenomenal nightwish and other covers

[@konobuzoggu239]

i'm also curious how Tarja is underrated?

[@vedranmalinic2116]

Tarja underrated????? Where you live on Antarctica

[@SadisticMonsterMan]

I was just going to ask, by what standard is Tarja considered underrated? She's on the top of every female vocalist charts across almost every genre. She doesn't waste a lot of time in America so she's less popular there than most places, but believe it when we say, she's far from underrated

[@ALEXANDERCRETA1]

I never expected in my life tarja will cooperate with these band....

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Yeah I know! When I heard Tarja would be the next guest I was wondering does Tarja do bluegrass? Or would Seagulls do finally metal? Instead they went polka and tango! Hah, hah! Blown away!

[@emmepi4945]

Tarja’s voice never fail to make me just SLIGHTLY emotional what the hell

[@rickmorse9884]

This is so gorgeous, I almost forgot how absurdly unusual this collaboration is ... but then I opened my eyes.

[@StarOfArtemis]

It's very strange I was laughing so hard

[@davidbentley4032]

It's terrible. Ask anyone who had never heard of Nightwish to listen to the original and then to this and they'd laugh in your face. It's a power ballad, not a barn dance. How did Tarja get involved in this?

[@LigeiaNoire]

This is brilliant. Tarja might do it again and create a whole new genre after operatic/symphonic metal....she is the gift that keeps on giving. Specially how she sung the last stanza... She speeds it up and the power just explodes
