"Well-known songs about the Sun"

People have always been looking at the Sun and in many acient cultures it was treated as a God. Even now Sun often occurs in our daytime. For example you might hear "Don't praise the day before sunset" couple times  in your life. 


Sun reminds u a new begining of something, a daytime, holidays, happiness, light and heat. We associate it with yellow and  gold color, with mistery and powerfull element of our life. We even called a plant as sunflover cause it reminds sun for us. Sun occures in art and music quite often. 

The best song about the Sun for me is "Staring At The Sun" by U2 :

" (...) I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
Afraid what you'd find if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind" (...)

"Black Hole Sun" by  Soundgarden :

"Boiling heat, summer stench
 'Neath the black the sky looks dead 
Call my name through the cream 
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun 
Won't you come 
And wash away the rain? (...)"

and "Golden Brown"  by Stranglers: 



Other nice songs containing The Sun:
  1. "I Won't Let The Sun Goes Down On Me" by Nik Kershaw
  2. "Always The Sun" by Stranglers
  3. "Sunny" by Boney M.
  4. "Chasing The Sun" by The Wanted
  5. The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun
    and many other !

Secrets Of The Sun

The Sun contains 99.9% of all the matter in our solar system. It sheds hot plasma at nearly a million miles per hour. The temperature at its core is a staggering 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. It convulses, it blazes, it sings. You know it as the Sun.


Scientists know it as one of the most amazing physics laboratories in the universe. Now, with the help of new spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes, scientists are seeing the Sun as they never have before and even recreating what happens at its very center in labs here on Earth. Their work will help us understand aspects of the Sun that have puzzled scientists for decades. But more critically, it may help us predict and track solar storms that have the power to zap our power grid, shut down telecommunications, and ground global air travel for days, weeks, or even longer. Such storms have happened before but never in the modern era of satellite communication.

Solar Storms - The Threat To Earth.

Solar system is our home and the Sun is our feeder. Through the ages the largest star in our system was treated as a god for many acient cultures. And it's god for some reasons because our life depends on it!


If Sun will turns off - we'll die. If Sun will make big sunstorm - we'll die. In XXI century with advanced technologies, intelligent robots, knowledge about humanity, nature, environmental protecting in comparison to the universe we are just like first helpless humans which were walking on earth millions years ago.

For a good start to our trip watch "Solar Storms: The Threat To Earth" (BBC Documentary 2012) below:



Now think about what was the reason that you came here.
Than stay forever.
