Thank you everyone for the kind words and suggestions, I noticed after filming today my camera is super small, I will be adjusting it for the next reactions, I did 8 videos today, I'll be editing those as soon as possible and getting those live, I apologize for the camera. Stay wonderful you beautiful humans. ❤
Thank you for this amazing reaction. Your reaction to this song is the reason I watch Sleep Token reaction videos. Their music is like therapy. Vessel's voice and his lyrics are on another level. I love alot of bands with great vocals and great lyrics...but Sleep Token have something so special. The lyrics are relatable to everyone but speak to you in a way that only you can understand. Their music is so atmospheric that it feels like it surrounds you and then Vessel takes you away with his voice and lyrics on a journey of self discovery. I swear, if this man hasn't lived his lyrics then he needs to go into acting. He makes you feel what he's feeling all the way to your bones. It's like a religious experience. The other members are just as talented. I saw them live in May and it was AMAZING. ❤
You literally hit the nail on the head with your explanation of "Worship". I had the same feelings when I first heard this band. So ready for this journey. Worship brother.
I completely get what you mean about the familiarity of heavy music. Sleep token is really something else.. Growing up felt like destructive chaos most of the time, but this music is like healing chaos - if that makes any sense. And I know everyone either says 'start at the very beginning' or 'start with TMBTE' so those comments will likely drown out mine but given what you said about your childhood, I have a feeling you may find solace in High Water (from This Place Will Become Your Tomb). Most people claim Blood Sport will make you cry, but I disagree - high water did that for me. That song feels like you're floating in an ocean and the waves are taking you up and down until you're in the middle of the storm. Also, you NEED to go to a concert. Especially if you connect deeply to this music.. I was lucky enough to get floor tickets to the Montreal show last May and I flew across the country to see them play. I've been to countless concerts, spanning so many genres.. Sleep Token was hands down the best sound, lights, and experience. By far.
One of life's treasures watching someone discover and appreciate Sleep Token. I'm here for the journey. They hit different, intelligent lyrics, metaphors, emotions....a very special band people can truly relate to.
Some people get deep into the "lore" of the band, but in my eyes, every single song is about a toxic and tortured relationship. Sleep is the "deity", and also the allegory to the person he can't be with. It's all the emotions. The lyricism is very intentional and full of references not only to earlier work, but just the overall theme. Everything is intentional. Sleep Token has taken over my musical tastes for over a year. I've worshipped twice, meaning I attended a ritual (concert) to hear their offerings (songs). Two of the best nights of my life. Oh, and Worship ❤
Greetings from the UK. Now you have done your 2nd Sleep Token reaction, I've decided to subscribe. You should definitely check out Hallelujah live, as there is no studio version, and it's one hell of a cover. As a drummer you should also check out the various offerings from II both on Sleep Token's RU-vid Channel and on Drumeo's Channel. Great reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Vessel (singer/lyricist/composer) knows how to put emotions and feelings into words we can never think of. Glad you feel it spiritually because we all do as well. His lyrics are ambiguous enough to be interpreted to your own life so their songs resonate with so many who has all felt the same emotions that he's bringing to his music. I listened to this album on repeat when i first found them last year. The. I went down the rabbit hole and did their entire discography. I just lay on by bed and played it from start to finish and by the end i was mesmerized, felt like i was floating above my bed. Completely a spiritual experience. Loved them so much i begged my elderly parents to buy my concert tickets for my birthday so i could take my daughter to her first concert! 😂 And they did so me and my daughter got to see them in May. Was so beautiful.... it was probably one of the best live show I've ever seen and I'm in my 50s 😅. Anyway, love the reaction,. I'm so here for your journey! Til next time ✌️ Worship ❤
I was just fixing to reply to you because you sound so much like me and I just commented above the exact thing you were saying about Vessel's lyrics...then I realized who you were. We have replied to each others comments on soooo many different channels that it's crazy. LOL. 🤣 We are the same age and I also took my daughter to Sleep Token in May. It was so surreal that it feels like a dream. III threw a pick right into my hair and I have it. If not for that, I would think the whole thing was a dream. 😍
Never apologize for listening to any part of a Sleep Token song over and over again. Also, check out Drumeo to see II play the drums. And yes, with each song there is a different figure.
Do yourself a favor and listen to Vessel's cover of Hallelujah. It will only make you fall deeper in love with Sleep Token, which is nearly 100% his creatively. II composes the drum parts, everything else is Vessel. I get wanting to hear the album versions of songs first, but there's no studio recording of it, so just enjoy it.
Last year, 2( the drummer of sleep token), won drummer of the year by drummeo. He is feature in a video. Half of sleep token is his drumming alone. You should definitely check it out. Oh, And before you do Euclid song from sleep token. You should check all other songs in their discography. I guarantee it'll make you feel something afterwards.
Honestly, the song that would speak to your tastes that you have mentioned, Vore, which is on the TMBTE album. Also i dont know if you were told this but if you do go through the whole album, save the last song on the album for after you have finished the journey through the other albums. It will make MUCH more sense.
Worship is our call to arms lol. This is how we recognize each other. Also, we are taught by Vessel to "worship" Sleep. So we do. Rituals are concerts. We also call our collective "cult", but not like real cult, more like a group of people who have some higher knowledge.
