Did this mfer really get his heart broken by his bandmate and instead of wallowing in self-pity he went and wrote one of the most beautiful musical trilogies of all time, summarizing his journey of mental health struggles, self-acceptance, and ultimate triumph, and in the process revolutionize modern music and become an anonymous famous masked rockstar in the process??!
@@austingunnink182 I think that he will eventually reveal but not just yet. His mask eroded more in the promo pics for the album so I assume that trend will continue!
We know nothing about this man. Not how he learned to sing, why he started the band, what inspired him. We know how his hair and face looked like ten years ago. That's it. But even if we did, it would not matter. The music matters most.
+blacklit canopy ended just before sleep token started! Also, i spotted someone who looks identical to leo faulkner and was convinced he was vessel, so i asked him the time just to test if he had a British accent and he did! I'm in the us and I'm now 99% sure i actually asked vessel himself a question irl
Lol that one dude in the other comment thread trying to convince everyone it’s not him… Bruh, listen to him sing two words, there is literally nobody else it could be. ❤Worship❤
@@awildtimmy I guess I'm referring to the lyric from Ascensionism mentioning a "blacklit paradise" followed by Euclid which mentions "ancient canopies".
OMG, mind-blown moment for me. 🤯🤯 That is so true. Wow, it's like, in a way he wants people to know who he is but in a code and clever kind of way. You are absolutely right though, that is so mind blowing!!
And really dark and sad .... I'm really happy to see him coming out of that darkness that seems to have been with him from a very young age. This is just another lil piece of the puzzle that is this beautiful broken soul
Dear god the lyrics💀 “Dying to know freedom from this garden too As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems So conditional, so damn saturated I won't relinquish And let go Eyes are still heavenly… It’s just like you to give in so easily” I’m picturing this. He kills her and sings to her as he does so😱💀 morbid but brilliant AF!
Sink from this warm truth Carbon dioxide Run over and deep breath Your lungs, my skin is crawling And I've been tired of white walls It's all so lukewarm Your eyes are receded Dying to know freedom from this garden too As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems So conditional, so damn saturated I won't relinquish And let go Eyes are still heavenly As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real And it's just like you To give in so easily And it's just like you To give in so easily
I'm glad I know but in a way I wish I didn't. It's one of those things to where if someone asked me who it is, I still wouldn't tell them. He is our scrawny deeply cherished gem that ties our emotions in knots and introduces me to You beautiful people. Absolute worship 🤘
Yessss dude. I wish I didn't know also. It was part of the whole essence of sleep token, not knowing who he was. I mean the music is definitely the reason I love them so much but I was disappointed when people figured it out.
i think knowing is better. strip away all the contrived "sleep" lore and mystery and masks you just have bare humble vulnerable painful human experience
I love the fact that when i peeked on the "most replayed' section of the video it shows me the moment in which he looks up and shows his face😅 we all know what we're here for
honestly, I'm glad I know. with such an emotionally cutting voice and lyrics shrouded in all that mystery, it's nice to see the living, breathing human just like us that's behind all of this. maybe one day in the far future he will do a proper reveal and a deep dive into the making of the music, now that their mission to spread unadulterated art through anonymity was a massive success. Worship.
I loved how everyone was so subtle a couple of years ago when they were obscure, and now when they got big we got new fans that are almost blantantly giving the secret away :(
I feel like the band and Vessel are kind of a representation for the love and passion he has for music. He dawns the mask and, along with his band, plays music encopasing multiple genres fluidly
I have a friend who I showed this to and he said: you can see his alter ego already existed, maybe repressed, but good thing he released it because now he's creating something amazing. But I think there was already something incredible from here, maybe we just didn't notice it. The lyrics don't really come until you live something like that.
His voice is absolutely penetrating to the mind and soul. Constant goosebumps and emotions take over my brain while listening to these works. I cannot get enough. Gemma is amazingly talented and I hope to hear more from her as well.
@@777Godsgift777 wooooah ang on…Danny Carey, Abe Cunningham, Dino Campanella…tis a big claim that! He is absolutely fantastic though, definitely in my top five and reminds me a lot of Abe and Dino!
Just foind the secret band today. Bless him fr. I feel like he has it rough man from what i heard a female maybe this one? But his new music is so amazing. Her loss
Aww, he’s so young. What a sweetie pie. 🖤Doesn’t change my love for ST at all. I found this on accident. He looks just like a kid I was friends with in high school, so I clicked to check out the video.
@@deetsitmeisterjd yes, I am aware of that. I am saying that knowing who it is doesn’t change my love for ST. I believe he’s probably around 28 now age wise.
You were friends with a kid who walked around in a mask and a robe in highschool? But seriously, I clicked on it randomly too. Recognised the voice almost instantaneously and checked the date, then the comments (dunno why in that order haha).
@@beastwaynes4868 haha, no. The real person under the mask looks like my friend, lol. I actually reached out to him after I saw this and told him. Are you in the FB group? If you are, message me and I’ll send you a photo. You can tell me if you think they look alike.
@@deetsitmeisterjd just spotted him at a show in reno nevada, the face was 100% identical to this, but he's gotten a shorter haircut that (in my opinion) looks nicer!
Lyrics: Sleep under this warm shroud, of carbon dioxide Born beneath deep breaths, your lungs, my skin is Crawling In a habitat of white walls, all so lukewarm Your eyes are beseeching, to let go, to know freedom from this Cotton tomb As I hold you down and the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems, so conditional, so damn saturated Yet I won't relinquish, or let go, I just don't have it In me And it's just like you, to give in so easily
So I've been listening to ST for a year now and just found this out today.... so glad it took me awhile. One year and one live performance later and I feel I've finally earned this moment! 🤐WORSHIP🤫
I'm glad he continued with his musical career cause that voice need to be appreciated, never felt this blessed before but the fact that we all exist in a time when this musical genius is doing his magic ✨ worship my friends ❤
I just noticed he’s playing a Gibson Dove! That is a gorgeous vintage acoustic right there…my husband worked at a hotel and someone had left one behind and it had been sitting there for a long time so he was able to take it home..they are worth quite a bit! Also, damn I wish I would have discovered this band when they were active so I could have given them all the praise they deserve! This is exactly the kind of music that takes over my senses and speaks to me on all levels…so beautiful! I hope he’s proud of all he’s accomplished and how far he has come, he is certainly getting the recognition he deserves now! And Gemma’s voice is so beautiful and compliments his so well! 💜
What a voice! After listening to take me back to eden I just want to say: thank you so much vessel and the other sleep token members! You managed to help me through some hard times in life, thank you so much!
Damien Rice sort of stopped making music but man would he be proud of you guys. I am so lost in these guys. I want to express my gratitude to the two of you for carrying the torch.
Correct lyrics: Sleep under this warm shroud, of carbon dioxide born beneath deep breaths you lungs. my skin iscrawling In a habitat of white walls, all so lukewarm Your eyes are beseeching, to let go, to know freedom from this Cotton tomb As I hold you down and the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems, so conditional, so damn saturated Yet I wont relinquish, or let go, I just don't have it In me And it's just like you, to give in so easily
