 Press Reviews of Earthology Records Artists: Cloud Cult, Fable, Atticus Finch, The Shade Project
Nevertheless, where They Live on the Sun focused on our local ball of light and heat and sunspots, the new release is a more-direct communique to Kaidin: a message of love, tempered with anguish, transmitted through hope.
Lyrically, They Live on the Sun is joyful in it's fairytale-like images and settings and also extremely mournful; Minowa lost his 2-year-old son and this album is where he unleashes his demons.
The original "Sleeping Days" is a shimmering, gushy love song to his exwife written ten years ago that skirts the fine line of kitsch with its flowery imagery of tree nymphs and daisies.

 Americana UK Reviews - March 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The “Knoxville Girl” on this record doesn’t (fall) “down on her bended knees for mercy cry”, but that girl is referenced, and here we are “dancing to the murder ballad”, a romantic scenario if I ever heard one.
The ballad ‘Beginning’ has a superb treated piano and angelic voiced coda as the two voices sing a lullaby to each other a la Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle on the ‘One from the Heart’ soundtrack.
The key to their allure is the low-key nature of proceedings, the songs minimal but not self-consciously so, and the arrangements polished but spare, with scrapings of cello and violin deepening the sound.

 The Scourger's Reviews of Finnish Rock Recordings
Sleeping Sun (4 Ballads Of The Eclipse) (1999) A compilation ep of four Nightwish ballads: "Walking In The Air", "Swanheart", "Angels Fall First" and the title track.
All these four ballads are good, but personally I very, very seldom feel like listening to them all in a row.
Obviously, the Celine Dion (I hate her!!!) inspired ballad “Forever Yours” was also a shocker.

 Adopting a Lunar Calendar
Even if these zones do not precisely measure the sun's slow crawl across the sky they would offer a close enough approximation to allow Lunan students and others to easily estimate by how many dates the sunth is retarded or advanced in his/her location in comparison to other settlement sites and outposts on the Moon.
On the Moon, the Sun rises an hour earlier every 9.5 miles you travel to the east, and that's at the equator, in a shorter distance closer to the poles.
The plain fact is that the pace of the Sun, and whether or not it is currently dayspan or nightspan, will greatly affect the agenda for the (calendar) day for most everyone, in most every occupation.

 Dana Gioia Online - Charles Causley
The ballad continues to be his central form, though one now notices a pronounced division in the kinds of ballads Causley writes.
In addition to ballads on contemporary themes (whose effects are often primarily lyrical), each volume now contains a group of strictly narrative ballads usually based on historical or legendary Cornish subjects.
His historical ballads in particular not only reject the metrical conventions of mid-century poetry (a tuneful stanza too simple for sophisticated formalists and too traditional for progressives), they also reject the notion that a poet creates a private reality in the context of his or her own poems.

In order to celebrate the 1999 eclipse, Tuomas wrote a song (asked by Drakkar Records actually), or more specifically a ballad, called Sleeping Sun.
There is Sleeping Sun, of course, but also Walking in the Air (which was a single from Oceanborn), Swanheart (taken from Oceanborn too) and Angels Fall First, a song from the band’s first album.
One can only lament the fact that the video for Sleeping Sun is not available as a bonus on the album.

From the beautifully unfolding melodies of the single "Planet Of The Sun" to the heavy bursts of "One Last Shot", this is inevitably the best work the band has done so far.
Nightwish is considered one of the bands responsible for the rise in popularity of symphonic metal at the end of the 1990s.
Although the band has been prominent in their home country since the release of their first single, "The Carpenter" (1997), they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Oceanborn and Wishmaster, which were released in 1998 and 2000 respectively.

Track four ("Sacrament of Wilderness") begins with a cool guitar/drum/synth combination that gives way to a neoclassical burst of notes and driving beat that propels the song forward.
Sleeping Sun-This was written for the solar eclipse that was occurring in Germany.
Even if you weren't there to see the eclipse, or if you didn't even know that there was an eclipse, you can still appreciate this song.

and the song is called "Sleeping sun" So, it sounds like shes talking to someone, not the sun, but someone she loves but cant be with.
Its almost as if she is the moon, and he is the sun, and sun and moon cant be together because when the sun goes down, the moon comes up, so she wishes the sun and the moon can go down together.

Gabriel: Sleeping in the van on a sub-zero night in Philly on a previous tour, with police cars and choppers whizzing by all night.
Backed by various musicians on different tracks, Haskins is nonetheless the album's chameleon-like driving force, delivering tunes that vary from tear-in-beer ballads to Beatle-esque love songs to rollicking country tunes in rapid succession, each of them true to their genre and solid examples of Haskins's clever songcraft.
Haskins' first ballad, "Lullaby," leaves a bit to be desired, but he recovers quickly on "Beautiful," another melodic, classy rock song.
