Sample

The female vocal that has been sampled in "The Sun Rising" is from a song titled "O Euchari" which appears on the album "A Feather On The Breath Of God" composed by Abbess Hildegard Of Bingen and sung by Emily Van Evera who was a member of the vocal ensemble Gothic Voices in 1981 when the album "A Feather On The Breath Of God" was originally recorded. The "O Euchari" sample was not credited on the release of "The Sun Rising" single. An out of court settlement was reached between WEA and the "Gothic Voices" record label "Hyperion Records" for this omission.

Commercial

In 1990, the song was used in a commercial for the breakfast cereal Alpen.

In 2020, the song was used in an advert for online clothing store Kaleidoscope.
