That’s because a lot of people are very ignorant and uneducated and think that metal is just screaming and angry. When so many types are the complete opposite. You are right it is very sad but so many people are missing out on such wonderful music.
I was a senior in high school when this song was released, and I absolutely loved it. But it wasn't until my mid 20's when i fully understood what this song meant. As a kid I grew up with parents who treated me like dirt. I had friends who were never there for me. I'd count down the days until I could leave, and start my own life. And now as an adult I can't help but to look back; all those emotions, feelings, and pain come rushing back as if they never left. I can't help but thinking if things could've been different. This song is therapeutic and reminds me not to dwell on the past, but to live in the moment. And I'm currently the happiest I've ever been. I'm married to the woman of my dreams, I'll be a homeowner in a few months, and when the time is right we'll be starting a family of our own
Good onya mate!!... hope it turns out all gold for you....I'm 51 years old and loved songs like you do many years ago...and I'm still loving them now and many have inspired my life!👍
@@JoshMcSwain it takes a bit to like some of it to rly understand it. Metal is also such a big genre. There are so incredible many sub genres that mostly don't sound any like eachoher. Finding your taste within is long journey
Yeah I understand that, it can energize me sometimes, keep me going sometimes, and it has really helped me stay strong through some crazy difficult times. It also is just the music I want sometimes. I am amazed at how I have sensitive ears but still like metal, I would bring musician/concert earplugs which reduce noise volume while keeping sound very similar. There are so many different types of metal even now and I like lots of metal. I do like many genres though.
INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep lyrics: When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down Thanks Insomnium .
The year was 2014. I was graduating high school and had a jeep wrangler with a crazy sound system in it. Always in my passenger seat was the girl who I was crazy about. This album was always blasting along with other amazing metal bands. We ended up going to prom together and blasted this in the limo on the way there. Its 2019 and were still together and still blasting this amazing album constantly. 🤘
glad to hear you were into this music. the song actually does no justice unless listened to through headphones. but i had a great sound system in my car and would always blast this reguradless!!
+Dystopia1980 Daylight Dies is definitely worth trying, but otherwise try atmospheric black metal, bands like Ghost Bath, Mare Cognitum and Vallendusk are on my playlist at the moment.
+Dystopia1980 Dark tranquility, Alestorms slower ones, several In Flames song in the early albums, Several Soilwork songs... Insomnium just does it all the time
Anathema dude listen some Silent Enigma, Alternative 4 or Judgement and you will see that you will find a lot of other band which are able to convey melancholy and sadness ..
+Dystopia1980 Draconian is a Doom metal band (in contrast), but they always give me a sense of despair and sadness. They also use 2 singers, 1 growler and one clean (female). Swallow The Sun has one singer doing both types of vocals.
I honestly can't wait to be that mom lmao like just showing my future kids these songs I love so much and wilding out with them getting hyped up doing air guitar and headbanging
Whenever I get trapped in the past, frustrated with myself and unable to concentrate, I remember this song and specifically the part "We need to slow down..so I can catch you". I close my eyes, one deep breath, and another. This song is a warm hug, a gentle wind that blows away the dark clouds.
Holy fucking shit I discovered this band just now and wow I am honestly amazed by how good this is. I've always been a fan of melodeath but this is just.. This is a completely new level
Wintersun can't touch Insomnium. Their self-titled release was good, Time was decent but overdone, and Jari is a whiny ass. Insomnium; however, has been consistently putting out solid albums, my favourite being ATWW. I may not like the recent albums as much, but they've all got great standout hits and are all cohesive, and Winter's Gate blew everyone out of the water.
My wife loved this song. She passed from cance this year. But we got to see them live in Pittsburgh with Alestorm. That was f*cking amazing. Incredible band.
This is one of my favorite songs. It was awesome seeing these guys in Cambridge Mass last night. I've waited a long time to see them. My little brother would have loved this show. Miss you, kid.
My god this song... this is my first time listening to it. I'm so touched, the hairs on my arms are standing up, a tear is rolling down my cheek, all of my worries have floated away and the weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Incredible. I've never felt this way about a song before. Pure magic!
Really good to see music helps someone else as much as it does me. This is my first time hearing these guys and they're my new favorite. But Zoe you should try the band In Flames if you haven't already. They changed my life for the better :))
Same way I felt when I first heard insomnium's song 'lose to night'. It's incredible how deeply music can affect us and make us feel. Insomnium is magic.
Purchased all of their albums. It's been more than a year and I still can't properly hear all of this awesomeness. Will take a while to enjoy! Watched them live in Seattle - was amazing 😍
+Michaela Kočovská Insomnium is supposed to be a word pertaining to dreams, with various interpretations of its meaning. It is unrelated to the sleeping disorder insomnia.
I’ve been listening to them for almost 6 years and a couple of months ago I literally had my last 40$ in my account and i was in a vinyl store and found their vinyl “its not easy to find these types of vinyls where i live” I literally spent all the money i had left to get this album in vinyl and went back home and just sat there broke but i was enjoying the vinyl. Such an amazing band.
When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame it for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is enflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is enflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down
This is literally the song that got me into metal, and the reason Insomnium will forever be my favourite band. Been listening to them for 10 years now, and i genuinely don’t even consider them music. Its just Art
This is so fucking epic. I have discoverd Insomnium by this song. It's the most beautifull metal work of art I've known. Discovered week ago and already a fan.
I dont know why it makes me so damn emotional when he says "We need to slow down." Powerful. I feel like that is society in a nutshell. Why can't we just stop and talk with one another with love, compassion and faith randomly in public anymore? Why are we afraid of each other? We don't take the time to find the humanity in each other because we are swiping away on social media platforms that expose us to hate and divisive concepts. We need to slow down. So I can catch you. We need to slow down. So you can catch me.
Thank you..i've been disconnected with everything in my life for so long..i've always afraid to reply comments on anything because i think i will offend anyone on the internet..but this time i wouldnt care, just need to remind myself to be respectful to everyone..thank you for your message..i need to wake up from this sleep.
@@gft1913 No, he's right. You can't trust anyone in this day and age, mostly because of social media always trying to stab people in the back, whether for politics monetization, popularity, hatred, or virtue signaling. It's sad and pathetic, but it's the way life is these days. It isn't that people have become afraid and unable to trust others. It's that the absolute scum of the earth have finally gained a platform where they can safely commit their heinous acts from with little to no repercussions.
This is one of those songs that, when you discover it, you play it over and over and over... Christ, I've listened to it on repeat for the last week. Why the hell hadn't I heard it before? If music can be haunted, this song is evidence of it.
Still a timeless classic. Unmatched melodies and vibes and I hadn't even really read the lyrics til today after listening to it for almost 10 years. Truly a magical band.
Markus Valhalla needs some serious credit for crushing it time after time with both Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum! Genuinely one of my favourite guitarists, and this solo is up there as one of my all time favourites! Such an emotive player!
It's crazy how most people think all metal is too aggressive and people who worship the devil. Yet music nowadays talk about the devil, sex violence on the radio.
Nothing more stunning and beautiful. You can actually feel the hurt and pain. There’s honestly no words for such perfection that speaks to your very soul.
Metal genre are for people who are destined for it, who has deeper sense of taste in everything. Its a feeling to feel, no one can make the other person understand the beauty of it, if he/she hasn't been destined to.
Just what I was wishing for....Insomnium coming back in 2015 as headliners....August 24th at El Corazon....cool! Insomnium is the best band in the world.

The crows flying around the dark sun is my favorite visual I have seen in any music video. Hauntingly beautiful and it reminds me of Dark Souls 3's final moments.
No they are not. Stop putting your conspiracy/fantasy theories in this. It has nothing to do with it and there is no planet cruising the solar system. Don't be so ignorant.
If no astronomer has that stated its because we never went out you naive. And just to add we live on Mars. That is why sumerians called their gods planet Marduk, the Duke of Mars.
#Jonathan Lesyk MPE...was! not anymore... only first 3 albums really counts! the old sound was no.1 in melodeath> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hRCbe_jGxBs.html
The best: anger and peace, epic strength and melancholy, hope and struggle, all mixed in the same song in a wonderfull melody .. just a f***ing masterpiece !!!
The reality is that the instrumental is rather simple. The band is full of incredible musicians and artists which is where the phenomenal music comes from. The band has turned death metal into an art with their creative minds in the writing process to make the music so powerful, the beautiful poetry used as lyrics is simply bonus.
One and a half million views does not even begin to compare to other hugely popular but monotonous pop songs. That is not fair, I blame the teens with too much free time on their hands :D
+soupflood A teen with too much free time on their hands here. It saddens me that the vast majority of people in my age group would rather listen to the extremely dumbed-down lyrically, and almost cringy relationship orientated, pop singers, which only gained their immense popularity through their decent looks, lacking both talent and personality, I'm looking at you, Kayne. Well, now that I have exposed everything I dislike about modern-pop music, I think get back to listening to Insomnium.
+MLG Pengu Yeah, but to be honest when you watch some singing contests on TV you quickly realize that the pop stars are stars for a reason. Many of the modern hit songs sound easy, but when you try to sing them yourself it just doesn't work at all. It's a myth that pop stars cannot sing. They can. At least most of them.
