Sleep Token - Telomeres (Visualiser) 

So great to hear that other people feel the same way, too. I will stick to that band to the rest of my live, i guess.

24 here. couldn't agree more.

I'm wondering how this one is still under 1 million views

That part specifically seems to be influenced by Entombed by Deftones

This part is epic, one of their most wonderful soft songs but still containing a metal ending just to prevent us from floating away into a sweet dream.

PERFECTION #worship

Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics. 💓🎼▶️

Pretty sure the drums are programmed.

Yeah, good luck trying to program all those ghost notes.

@@Strutsss It's not that hard, just tedious.

@@Andystuff800 you must not have seen their live videos because he plays the drums you know that right?

@@Andystuff800 well, George Lever himself (their producer) already said once that this is actual drums and not programmed

theyre both so unbelievably talented you bet i’d travel the world to see that

Pretty sure they have toured before, but it was before either of them were well known.

I saw them both together with Holding Absence at a small pub venue in Manchester a few years back, quite possibly the best show I have ever been to

@@neonjellyshark1368 Now that’s a dream show right there!

all I’m picturing is George Lever just mixing furiously in the background hahahaha

annunciation? Do you mean enunciation maybe?

@@fedeu obviously

Same for me! This is the first song I heard by them and absolutely fell in love with the music.

Same for me

Same!

Same here and I'm 49 so discovering new music can be challenging.

You wouldn’t believe how much money I would pay to hear this for this first time again

My jaw dropped hearing that, he's the centerpiece to the band for sure

I know its amazing really, but its the same thing Mike Portnoy does at the beginning of Nightmare. Check that out too!

I'm just used to him doing completely sick ill horrifying accent-fills by now. No point in counting them, lol.

II is an absolute beast of a drummer

@@adityashukla7286 one of my favorite drum parts of all time, Mike Portnoy is an absolute beast and I was so happy to see someone as incredible as him filling in as drummer of A7X after the Rev passed. He really did the best he could and while he may not have been the Rev I think he was the best choice for a drummer they could have gotten.

Ikr! It's definitely my favorite off this album, there's something so beautiful about it. The lyrics are so well written, the instrumental is just pure eargasm, the vocals are so delicately beautiful. And the SOLO. I don't understand how someone could dislike this masterpiece.

The new album is pretty amazing, but it still doesn’t beat TPWBYT for me. I hope more newer fans will come back to this album and Sundowning because they deserve just as much recognition if not more.

All of their albums are heavy hitters for me emotionally but I do agree that newer fans should check out their older stuff. Lots of gold to discover throughout all their releases.

I started with Take Me Back To Eden when it came out and then started looking back. Sleep Token is amazing and this song has become one of my favorites. I've been a little obsessed with it. Honestly, I'm getting the vibe that Sleep Token is one of those bands you can never know what to expect from: it seems like every album will be different and show some kind of evolution in their sound, which I like. They've truly brought something unique and original to the table here. Very few bands try to do that these days.

i found st from sugar!

Very reminiscent of Coldplay

do you even know? My wife and I had a separation period that I thoroughly believed we would not recover from. We did, and this song captures everything I felt when she came back. so many tears, but so much joy.

It is so criminally underrated that it almost makes me angry!

This album is amazing

Although it has some tough competition with descending, high water and alkaline.

@@ChevySSR definitely agree, can’t forget about hypnosis though, or even the first track

Tat's the power of ST..

Right?! It kind of was reminiscent of Sublime.

I was thinking the same! I'm imagining Chino doing backing vocals

I don't hear it..This guy can actually sing.

@@thooker4284 bruh

Also reminds me to Loathe in some way, I'm just a sucker for alt metal ballads

@@michirista I think you might like shoegaze then

I kinda believe the guitarist from Loathe quit to focus on Sleep Token. I’m not sure if it’s him, but this song made me think it might be

Oh youre joking! I didn't really wanna know their identities but wow I'm surprised but could be true he has the same physique 👀 but if it is true that he is leaving loathe... it's sad

@@lenny702 yeah Connor left Loathe already

@@PaulieD17 don't think so. Seems Connor has his own thing planned for the future. Small teaser on his insta a week or so ago showed a sort of lofi beat sound

Only Vessel and II (the drummer) write and perform on the albums. III and IV are just live members.

Managed to cover it and upload to my channel yesterday... quite a proud moment to be the first on RU-vid 😂😂🤘(shameless self promotion, i know..😂)

@@TheGreenGuitarist how hard was it also did you put the tuning in the vid so I can learn it as well

@@captainpringles1173 not too bad to be fair, and it's in standard captain!

Yea true!! I didn’t even realize that!! Good call!!

@@TheGreenGuitarist guess I gotta cover it on bass and upload it to my YT channel now lol colab! Lol

liquid? it evaporated me into gas!

I am now a plasma

ooof

Love this❤ so clever.

Don't worry, I've played them thousands of times at this point and they still hit

3:23

I am a worshipful lady. But I don't know if this message is for me. Most men call me muse.

I love you my love... from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thanks for trying your hardest even when it's hard. Even when I pushed you away. Thank you for being so understanding, for being my biggest supporter. For Love ST with me, for being a pure soul. Lets keep enjoying life together ❤

@@gislaineramirez1509 Lady Worshipper, I wanna go beyond the farthest reaches with you... Only you. 🌻

You're not the only one, fully agreed

Exactlyyyyy

Interesting why did you think they or he named this song telometes? if you check the mark in the visualizer you will notice meters of depth sea, -9000 meters at the Mariana trench, where you can find the long-lived creatures of the planet,"forever young",you as someone who used to work in telomeres research know the impact of telomeres in death ,am I right ??

@@michirista Telomeres may be the physiological cause of aging. Some theorize by slowing the shortening of telomeres, we could slow down the effects of aging drastically (or entirely). I'd assume you're on point about the longest living life forms existing at these depths. Perhaps the song is about extending one's life through the worship of "Sleep"? Who knows! That's the best part about Sleep Token. So many different meanings both from the lore of the band and real life experiences.

@@metalshell A mistery !!!

​@@metalshell I think this song is about the cyclical nature of life, many of the lirics reference death and rebirth as constant, especially "Let the tides carry you back to me /The past, the future/Through death/My arms are open" and "And I know as you collapse into me /This is the start of something". To me it's a love song dedicated to the universe and life itself and the confort of knowing that even in death, you'll still be a part of it. But it might also be about a relationship and describing sex "Your eyes and your limbs /Are instruments to pick apart/The distance within" and "And I know as you collapse into me /This is the start of something". Maybe both.

Hell naw, that is a reason to push yourself forward! Goals my dude!

Keep workin'. You may not get there, but you'll get somewhere else good.

I just came to write this. Very much a "Koi No Yokan" vibe.

you can absically sing the sextape line over the intro and it really fits

I've been thinking about saying that one of my favorite things about this magnificent album is that you get a really solid idea of their influences, but yet it is entirely their own sound.

Definitely has that shoegazey side of Deftones that I love so much

Its like sex tape. But transcendent.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It’s honestly insane wrapping my head around it. I was 10 when Adrenaline dropped and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Now we have Sleep token, Moodring, Vexes, Loathe, Fightstar, Higher Power, Vein, Nothing, etc etc etc carrying that torch

I'm sure all these bands were very influenced by shoegaze. The guitars in this song are very shoegazey.
