Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (Cover by Alexandrite)

Support us on Patreon Get our merch Hi, guys! I’m Alexandra Revontulet and this is my project Alexandrite. We create Symphonic Metal covers and release them in sets. Each set has four songs outlining the same theme. While we are on lockdown here in Moscow, I’m taking song requests from my patrons on Patreon. Here’s a funny story for you! When I was 16 I was very much into Nightwish and wanted (like many other girls impressed by Tarja’s voice) to learn how to sing opera. So when I went to my first class with my future singing teacher, Emma Sarkisyan, I sang a fragment from “Sleeping Sun“. She listened to it patiently and then said: “You have a good voice, we can work with that, but isn’t it some kind of a pop song?“. I was deeply offended ? Ironically, in hindsight, this phrase should have been a hint, considering that now I do covers on YouTube and not sing in
