Cam Dickson Hey, Good news, but first lets cover that unfortunately we live in a society that intuitively knows God exists (through design, order, conscience) but suppress the truth in unrighteousness, people tend to not like what goes against their pleasures. You and I have broken God’s laws (lie, theft, blasphemy, lust, hate) who is Holy and in His justice He must punish guilty sinners to Hell. But God in His Love sent His Son, (God come in flesh) the Lord Jesus Christ to suffer and die the wrath anger of Almighty God on the Cross (historical event seen by eyewitnesses) punished for our sins, was buried and is now risen! Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We are saved by the grace through faith, we must repent, turn away from sin confessing and forsaking them and place our faith in Christ. Cry out to God and humble yourself, pray for the Spirit of God to take over and for God’s guidance. Read the Bible. Peace.
One thing I noticed about this song compared to the others is this sense of urgency in the tempo. As a One, I think we feel like we're constantly racing against time in the sense that we're trying so hard to become our own version of perfection with the little time we have here on Earth. Like we're doing all these things because we're trying so hard to be these flawless people before it's too late. I love the fact that they addressed that, it makes the message of the song all that much more powerful and real.
I noticed that! I feel that they did a great job at capturing each number in each respective song, like im a 6, and i think that they did a very good job a capturing the stress that comes with trying our best to do our best and be the perfection that we think we should be.
And then SSSOOO many things get in the way (eg sickness, forgetfulness, judgement errors, traffic) - move!!! Don't derail me. Not even you, commitments I have made... Yet, I must honor my existing commitments... It is part of perfection. I have to create and share my personal and social utopia before it's too late! Any moment could be my last. Somehow I have to utilize the set backs, go back in time or become forever young to get it just right. I must edit my comment until it meets my standards.
People throw around the word "underappreciated" a lot, but Sleeping At Last is sadly the definition of the word.. YOU'RE SOO GOOD. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. I wish I could find a way to support you but I can't 😕

It's the worst thing in the world to always feel like what you're doing will never be good enough. i always tell myself i need to be better for the people around me - for my family, for my friends, for the people i care about. this song describes what i feel PERFECTLY. every failure i encounter discourages me and it's that fact about myself that i hate the most. we always strive for perfection but we seldom fail to realize that sometimes it's not what we need. i love this song so much :(
My sister is a one. She raised all her younger siblings before she was forced to leave. She had to learn how to better herself so she could raise the rest of us up. She is perfect in her imperfections. She is my hero, my inspiration.
For those of you don't know, there are going to be songs One through Nine, for each of the Enneagram personality types. The songs go with what some of the traits are to each type. :) I love all of them so far (I've heard One through Four)!
and also if anyone is interested in hearing about how Ryan creates his music, he also makes a podcast about his music and it's super insightful. it's called the Sleeping At Last Podcast which you can find on itunes, soundcloud and other podcast apps. there are podcast episodes about the enneagram songs and if you want to go check them out!
Elvie The Martian www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/dotest I believe this one is free. There are more where you can pay for them though. I have a book called The Wisdom of the Enneagram, you can find it on Amazon for maybe around $10 that has a test and a ton of information not just on the types, but also about how the Enneagram works :)
Took the test and turns out I'm a Six. I can't wait to hear the song! It was odd but surprisingly validating to find options that I could relate to without a moment's hesitation.
"I want to sing a song worth singing" this is bang on. People think all ones are super picky cleaners and love a good post-it etc but really it's about doing things well that we think are important. To hell with everything else. Also the first lyrics about how "I know perfect doesn't exist but how do we know until we've tried" hits home. As a one I get told by people just give up it's not worth it, it's good enough and it's like no, just let me keep trying. We'll work ourselves ragged doing it but for those important things in life we will keep trying to improve it until it's perfect. For all my fellow ones, remember that whatever you're doing that matters to you, if you never get it perfect you've made a damn good improvement and you can be proud of yourself and take a nap.
Yeah. I'm not a 1 but I got a high score on it, and those lines were bulls-eyes. If I am taking the time to do something I want to do, I want it to be the best I can possibly make it. Even if it takes a long time I'd rather do that then sit there with that 'I could have done better' feeling whenever I look at the work. It's amazing when you work hard, break your brain, and put it together to make something that truly feels great. You know the work you put into fixing all the minute details. And then, it's payed off. We shouldn't have perfectionism on all the time but if we can turn it on for things we really want then I believe it's a type of superpower.
This made me laugh so much and you're completely right. Working for the greater good?? Hand it to us. But dude we deserve to work for our own rest and peace too. Hoping you're having a good day guys xx
I just wanna remind anyone who comes across this comment that whether you’re a one, two, three, etc., your personalities do not absolutely define you. Your personality is absolutely unique. Don’t put a number on it.

"Grace requires nothing of me". I love those lyrics. As a Christian, I love how true it is of God. And as a person, I love how true it is of the people we love and who love us in return.
Angelynne Cassandra Grace means loving someone who doesn't deserve it. It can't be earned, therefore it requires nothing of the recipient. Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.
@@angell.cass04 from the christian perspective, it means that Jesus/God gives us forgiveness and salvation completely free. We don't have to do anything except accept the gift. from the perspective of people, it means people forgive us for mean/horrible things we might do because they love us. And in return, we forgive others, even if they don't deserve it, because we love them
@@angell.cass04 I just ran across this comment and what I think Ray Ruth is getting at is that as Christians we believe that Jesus Christ was crucified in order to allow for us to have unconditional grace from God. If we follow Him, we are receptors of grace that requires nothing from us - other than loving and being loved by God. Because we chose to follow Christ and the truth of the Bible, there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God and His grace over our lives. Even if we mess up, we are still loved. I'm a 1 on the Enneagram and so that line means a whole lot to me since I can tend to be more of a perfectionist. There have been times in my Christian walk were I felt a need to earn my salvation by doing "good things." But Jesus has reminded me over and over through the Bible that His grace requires nothing from me....He loves me and gives me grace even if I think I don't deserve it. Hope that helps!
These songs evoke such a strange, happy sadness that just pulsates intensely in my chest. It’s the weirdest but most wonderful thing I’ve ever felt and no other artists can pull that feeling out of me. It’s hard to describe, but it’s sort of really painful and yet I can’t get enough of it. I kind of hate it and love it at the same time. I need to not be listening to songs like these a 2 in the morning I’m emotional and alone and dang somebody help me
I’m a 9w1, and it’s so so easy for me to love others, but I never feel good enough in other’s eyes. I feel like I measure my self by comparing the amount of love that I give others to the amount of love that I feel, which makes me feel so alone and notice the things I need to change about myself. I see all the good in others and none in myself.
Rachel McKay I know exactly how you feel. I’m also a 9w1 and I feel like I’m always trying to be that perfect friend for others. I put others before myself way too often and then expect them to do the same for me...which when they don’t just makes me end up feeling sad and alone.
As someone who's a One, this song has helped me a lot. I was being so hard on myself about everything and nothing but I stumbled upon Sleeping At Last, and found 'two'. I felt it described me partially. I then found “One,” and it has touched me so deeply. I took a few enneagram tests and found I’m 1w2, which made a lot of sense. Having a song that describes me better than i can describe myself is such a unique feeling. It was strange at first but it is extremely comforting that I am not the only one who feels this way. Thank you, Sleeping At Last, for giving me a gift better than any other.
I believe the same but two struck me deeply it really did struck a chord in my heart with the music and the lyrics. Sleeping at last, You deserve so much more appreciation because you truly are amazing! 💜
I find the fact that the handwriting is by Ryan is just so beautiful and wonderful and creative and just everything about this song and this video brings me so much comfort
When you’re perfect to everyone except yourself, when you seem out together in front of one person but can never get it together alone Seeming worthy to some and worthless to yourself
"The list goes on forever, of all the ways I could be better, in my mind" completely hit me. Like a splash of cold water and I had to gasp for air. I'll never get rid of that list. I want to, but I can't. It will always be there, in my mind.
These songs are all so deep (and we can relate to them all on some level because Enneagram isn’t purely “You are this number only” but rather “This is your strongest set of traits we can categorize but ultimately you should be a more balanced and healthy person and learn from other personality types too”) and that being said, if you Fortnight dance to these songs, it helps prevent you from crying as much
My father is a one, and this song is him through and through. His first, and most important lesson was that kindness costs nothing. He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met. He’s my idol. He’s done so many great things to help his community, and I just hope he knows how much he makes a difference to this broken world. To all the ones out there, keep doing what you do. :))
maybe nothing is the actual cost though. you have to give up nothing, all the things that have nothing in them. Death is nothing, death is non-existence, what doesn't exist, is nothing. So maybe when something costs nothing, you just have to give up the things with death in them, like fear and selfishness. and yet it feels like it costs nothing too. this universe is so beautiful
@@lightningbreak357 Personally, I think the best way to know is to think of yourself compared to the people that you love, and recognize what qualities make you and them so special.
Hey there, if ya want to go deep into the type one on the enneagram, here's an in-depth video for ya: Type One: th-cam.com/video/PNTi3KfNZUE/w-d-xo.html
I came across the Enneagram a couple of years ago; I immediately saw myself as One dominate. What's beautiful about the Enneagram is it's origins and that it truly is a journey of discernment and growth. This song made me nearly cry; for a One, who always resists their passions, that's saying something. Keep up giving us The Beautiful!
I love the words "grace requires nothing of me". If you are a person of faith im sure you have stumbled upon the thought of "I got to fix my sin" when in reality Christ has already fixed your sin. What a powerful reminder this song is.
I myself identify as a type one. When I first heard the episode for this song on Ryan's podcast, I actually had such a connection and self discovery that I honestly got emotional. In the podcast, Ryan interviews a friend as well, and they both explain that we (type ones) tend to blame ourselves and pick flaws from ourselves so easily, that half of the time we don't even know why. I myself have personally always looked at myself as a human with an infinite amount of flaws. I always think that things, in their own little ways can be better, hence why I've always assumed that nothing I've ever done was good enough. After listening to this song, and listening to the podcast, I've come to a conclusion that perfection doesn't exist. I'm always going to want things to be better, it's just the way I am. But not every little thing in life needs to be better. Because it's simple, and pure.
I feel it deep in my bones. I live in Brazil. I've tried to get into a med school since 2015. I got in this year, but i had to leave my family and friends and move to another city. It was really painful and this new disease brought me back home. This song makes me feel like everything is gonna be fine. Tomorrow will be beautiful even though I am scared. I feel God when I listen to this song. His grace requires nothing of me.
My friend: Take this test. Me: Ok! * 5 minutes later* Me: Done! My friend: Type one... ok. My friend: listen to this. Me:* Crys in the first ten seconds but still listens to it anyways* My friend: Are you ok.... Me: * Still crying like the baby I am* Yep.... don't worry yourself.
When I was first getting into the Enneagram, I repeatedly tested as a One. Now, I know for certain that I am a 5w4. However, I will always have a bit of a connection to Ones, and this song touches me so deeply. It reflects certain facets of myself which make me who I am.
The tempo reminds me of my type 1 husband, always on the go and always making lists. I admire you ones for how amazing you all are. I love how you get things done and how hard you try to do things right.
I identify as a one. And this song is basically a description of my whole life. I try to be what people want me to be. It makes me feel like i can never be myself with anyone. Heck i dont even know who i am. I dont know how to be myself anymore. Ive lost myself in this fight trying to be what everyone wants me too. This song reminds me that everything doesnt have to be perfect and i dont have to try and fix that.
I'm a two, but i've always related to this song alot. I've always struggled with being a perfectionist and being pretty self-critical. My heart goes out to all ones, i hope you'll grow so you can accept imperfection, and be less harsh on yourselves.
🎵🎶"but the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better, in my mind"🎶 this is definitely story of my life😅 I don't have words literally for the music in this song it makes me so happy!🤗❤
I’m surprised nobody is talking about when he saids “now I have learned my lesson;the price of this so-called perfection” his voice cracks from the emotion.
I like that the lyrics are written faster than they're sung, and letters sometimes overlap each other- like the singer's brain is moving faster than they can get their thoughts out. The two columns of close-together text has a similar effect- it feels hastily scribbled out, which really suits the singer's desperation to fix things.
Type 1 - The Reformer Perfectionists, responsible, fixated on improvement Ones are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. This makes them perfectionists who want to reform and improve, who desire to make order out of the omnipresent chaos.
His podcast on the making of each of these songs is soooo good. Everything is so intentional .... sleepingatlast.podbean.com/e/episode-4-one-the-enneagram/
“I have spent my whole life searching desperately to find out that *grace requires nothing of me* “ When I tell you my body got shivers and I started internally sobbing at this line
I absolutely love this song. The lyrics, the music, and the visuals. It’s not fancy, it’s by no means perfect, but it is very deeply felt. It is just simple and honest and raw. And yet so beautiful. So loving. Music like this is the kind of music that gives meaning to our silent moments. I only discovered Sleeping At Last about a month or two ago, but it has been ages since I’ve found a band that I love as much as them and creates music that I truly love listening to. They add such a gentleness to music. I hope they never lose sight of that.
I just want to say thank you for this song and the effort you put into all of your music because they hit such a strong note in me. For this one, I ended up crying because I am a one type and it honestly represents my inner thoughts so well its scary. Thank you for all you do.
“grace requires nothing of me” Wow... The truth in that is beautiful. God’s grace is sufficient... Nothing we can do can earn us His love or mercy. Rather, by His grace and through faith in Jesus, redemption is ours to keep...
dude i’ve been in love with sleeing at last’s music for so long now. it hits my soft spot always. i just realized they have an enneagram album. i’ll sob myself to sleep tonight
No matter how many of these songs I listen to I'll never stop being amazed by the significance of the lyrics and the animation they use during their videos. It's always so beautiful and moving.
i wish i could find the words to explain how your voice, the words you use and the charming way the instruments compliment everything, make me feel. you absolute legend.💜
Ooooo sounds cool. I hope someday I can read it. Fantasy is something I wish I was better at xD. I go to an art high school, and I'm in the Creative Writing dicsipline, so mostly I just do writing assignments nowadays. Lol, this sounds really lame but last year I wrote a novel about Minecraft characters for my little brother. xD Thanks for asking!!!
Hey, that's not lame! We all have to start somewhere, right? My first stories were about unicorns and dragons. And then when I got older I wrote fanfiction for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist. XD
My better half is a type One, so this song holds a special place in my heart, as it fits him so well. ''I want to sing a song worth singing'' ''but the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better, in my mind.'' Thank you for defining so well the type One personnality, my personal favourite :)
This is powerful it’s eye opening the beat is everything it has its powerful to understand the anxiety the flow of power and energy in the song makes you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulder i can’t describe it but it’s not a bad feeling i love this so much.
I’m a 1 turned 5w7, this song still makes me weep like a baby but it got me through my first heartbreak last year, thank you one. You rid me of my tears and made me realise my self-confidence. 🥺🙏
the melody sorta gives me a rush deep within.....a good one.............it's...somewhat enlightening?? idk. unlike ryan, i'm obviously struggling to put it into words LOL love it!!!!! 💖💙
I'm a five, but there's something about each song of this album that I can still connect to deeply. This is currently my favourite, since as an art student I'm trying to stop being a perfectionist xd this really helps, whenever I feel like I'm not enough and I can do better than this.
Oh my gosh!!!! 😭😭😭😭 I just found this music project last night and I'm listening to these songs. It's the first time I've heard of an enneagram... this is such a cool concept! I'm a type one, and this song resonates with me so deeply... wow! He put into words what i couldn't! And he still made it beautiful. Like sometimes I feel really bad about my ugly qualities, and I was a bit unhappy when I found out I was a one, but this song highlights the good things about ones, not just the bad... yay!
words can't even express the way I feel about the way you inspire and make your craft your own. If you ever wondered about doing something else ... I'm here to reassure you that you are the best at being yourself. That reflects itself in your music. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
Years ago, I tried to make a playlist to explain how i felt, later to discover this song said everything I wanted to say. Anyway, here is the name of the other songs in case you want to listen to them: (i added some recent songs) Kitchen sink- Twenty one pilots Time of our lives- Christian French I won't- AJR Art is dead- Bo Burnham Mama said- Lukas Graham Run boy run- Woodkid Il bambino che contava le stelle- Ultimo Forest- Twenty one pilots World's smallest violin- AJR Mirror- Loïc Nottet Hug all your friends- Cavetown Waves- Imagine dragons Coraline- Maneskin My life- Imagine Dragons Passing trough- Kaden MacKay The nights- Avicii Aventure is out there- AJR Hourglass- Set it off Immortal- Marina Ceilings- Lizzy McAlpine Idk you yet- Alexander 23 Forever- Mother mother Habla tu espejo- Cuarteto de nos Oh no!- Marina Blur- Imagine Dragons Only a lifetime- Finneas Paradise- Coldplay Vienna- Billy Joel (Eye of the universe- Mckane Davis) One- Sleeping at last
Man this song makes me emo lol. Being a one can be hard, but I truly believe their is beauty in always seeking to improve ourselves and the world around us when it comes from a healthy place. It’s always a good reminder “grace requires nothing of me.”🥺 Praise God for my one brothers and sisters!
i love the spelling mistakes and how instead of wiping them off, he left them there. fits the idea and theme of the song perfectly
john wilson especially the very last line
The “One” personality type describes me perfectly, and the spelling errors infuriate me SO much!
As someone whose brother is a 1, I know the spelling errors would drive him nuts.

I must edit my comment until it meets my standards.
Yes, so cool! There is a podcast where he explains exactly that!
wow, I never caught that but this is so true.
People throw around the word "underappreciated" a lot, but Sleeping At Last is sadly the definition of the word.. YOU'RE SOO GOOD. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. I wish I could find a way to support you but I can't 😕
Just saying these words are so much support^^
I KNOW RIGHT?? The only ways I know we can support him are by spreading the word, and if you can, subscribe to his Atlas series.
Perhaps buy his music? Share it on facebook and twitter...

Just the likelihood of seeing your comment is support in itself, but this helps
It's the worst thing in the world to always feel like what you're doing will never be good enough. i always tell myself i need to be better for the people around me - for my family, for my friends, for the people i care about. this song describes what i feel PERFECTLY. every failure i encounter discourages me and it's that fact about myself that i hate the most. we always strive for perfection but we seldom fail to realize that sometimes it's not what we need.
i love this song so much :(
jay illon your making me cry 😭
Same
Omg I’m EXACTLY LIke u
The song didnt make me cry you did
I know right, even when I'm in the top 5 percent of anything I still feel like i can do better and I didn't actually give it my all
1:23 "but the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better, in my mind"
My sister is a one. She raised all her younger siblings before she was forced to leave. She had to learn how to better herself so she could raise the rest of us up. She is perfect in her imperfections. She is my hero, my inspiration.
I am a one and ones play the long game.
For those of you don't know, there are going to be songs One through Nine, for each of the Enneagram personality types. The songs go with what some of the traits are to each type. :)

Hey sorry to bother, but do you know where to find an enneagram test? Im super curious as to what mine would be!
Elvie The Martian www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/dotest
I believe this one is free. There are more where you can pay for them though. I have a book called The Wisdom of the Enneagram, you can find it on Amazon for maybe around $10 that has a test and a ton of information not just on the types, but also about how the Enneagram works :)
imbrutallyinlovewithyou Omg thank you so much for replying! Gonna go do the test now
Took the test and turns out I'm a Six. I can't wait to hear the song! It was odd but surprisingly validating to find options that I could relate to without a moment's hesitation.
"I want to sing a song worth singing" this is bang on. People think all ones are super picky cleaners and love a good post-it etc but really it's about doing things well that we think are important. To hell with everything else.
Also the first lyrics about how "I know perfect doesn't exist but how do we know until we've tried" hits home. As a one I get told by people just give up it's not worth it, it's good enough and it's like no, just let me keep trying. We'll work ourselves ragged doing it but for those important things in life we will keep trying to improve it until it's perfect. For all my fellow ones, remember that whatever you're doing that matters to you, if you never get it perfect you've made a damn good improvement and you can be proud of yourself and take a nap.
tysm for this ;-;
Yeah. I'm not a 1 but I got a high score on it, and those lines were bulls-eyes. If I am taking the time to do something I want to do, I want it to be the best I can possibly make it. Even if it takes a long time I'd rather do that then sit there with that 'I could have done better' feeling whenever I look at the work. It's amazing when you work hard, break your brain, and put it together to make something that truly feels great. You know the work you put into fixing all the minute details. And then, it's payed off. We shouldn't have perfectionism on all the time but if we can turn it on for things we really want then I believe it's a type of superpower.
I 10000% agree.

I just wanna remind anyone who comes across this comment that whether you’re a one, two, three, etc., your personalities do not absolutely define you. Your personality is absolutely unique. Don’t put a number on it.
Absolutely right there, a definition excludes the possibility of change but the only consistent part of life is that it is always changing.
YOU BET I'M UNIQUE!! 😂 Sorry, saw an opportunity to joke, I'm a four. :)
well said yoda 😌

But God in His Love sent His Son, (God come in flesh) the Lord Jesus Christ to suffer and die the wrath anger of Almighty God on the Cross (historical event seen by eyewitnesses) punished for our sins, was buried and is now risen! Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We are saved by the grace through faith, we must repent, turn away from sin confessing and forsaking them and place our faith in Christ. Cry out to God and humble yourself, pray for the Spirit of God to take over and for God’s guidance. Read the Bible. Peace.
Thank you, Master Yoda
I'm a four, but all of his songs hit so close to home.
I feel that too! I'm a 4w3
The singer maybe is a type 4, very emotional and melodic :)
What the duck is that profile picture. Kitty Hannibal will now haunt me.
@@keenaneriksson6346 oh my god I'm so sorry I didnt think anyone from hannibal would be in this comment section-
same
"I've spent my whole life searching desperately, to find out grace requires nothing of me" That hit HARD.
yes.
"Grace requires nothing of me". I love those lyrics. As a Christian, I love how true it is of God. And as a person, I love how true it is of the people we love and who love us in return.
Hi, I came across your comment and found it very interesting. Would you mind elaborating a bit more? ☺️
Angelynne Cassandra Grace means loving someone who doesn't deserve it. It can't be earned, therefore it requires nothing of the recipient. Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.
same here... in a world where religion requires so much from us, only the gospel requires nothing.
@@angell.cass04 from the christian perspective, it means that Jesus/God gives us forgiveness and salvation completely free. We don't have to do anything except accept the gift. from the perspective of people, it means people forgive us for mean/horrible things we might do because they love us. And in return, we forgive others, even if they don't deserve it, because we love them
@@angell.cass04 I just ran across this comment and what I think Ray Ruth is getting at is that as Christians we believe that Jesus Christ was crucified in order to allow for us to have unconditional grace from God. If we follow Him, we are receptors of grace that requires nothing from us - other than loving and being loved by God. Because we chose to follow Christ and the truth of the Bible, there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God and His grace over our lives. Even if we mess up, we are still loved. I'm a 1 on the Enneagram and so that line means a whole lot to me since I can tend to be more of a perfectionist. There have been times in my Christian walk were I felt a need to earn my salvation by doing "good things." But Jesus has reminded me over and over through the Bible that His grace requires nothing from me....He loves me and gives me grace even if I think I don't deserve it. Hope that helps!
These songs evoke such a strange, happy sadness that just pulsates intensely in my chest. It’s the weirdest but most wonderful thing I’ve ever felt and no other artists can pull that feeling out of me. It’s hard to describe, but it’s sort of really painful and yet I can’t get enough of it. I kind of hate it and love it at the same time. I need to not be listening to songs like these a 2 in the morning I’m emotional and alone and dang somebody help me
So many different things invoke these kinds of feelings within me. Love it and hate it. It's all bittersweet.
that is exactly how i feel!!
That is such a difficult feeling to put into words but somehow you did!!
Year late but I don’t care, this describes my thoughts perfectly
💯
I’m a 9w1, and it’s so so easy for me to love others, but I never feel good enough in other’s eyes. I feel like I measure my self by comparing the amount of love that I give others to the amount of love that I feel, which makes me feel so alone and notice the things I need to change about myself. I see all the good in others and none in myself.
I'm so glad I've discovered your comment! I'm exactly the same and it feels so good to know that I'm not alone!
I’m a 1w9, and I have similar thinking as you..
Rachel McKay I know exactly how you feel. I’m also a 9w1 and I feel like I’m always trying to be that perfect friend for others. I put others before myself way too often and then expect them to do the same for me...which when they don’t just makes me end up feeling sad and alone.
I'm a 9w1 also, I feel you!
I'm a 9w1 too :)
As someone who's a One, this song has helped me a lot. I was being so hard on myself about everything and nothing but I stumbled upon Sleeping At Last, and found 'two'. I felt it described me partially. I then found “One,” and it has touched me so deeply. I took a few enneagram tests and found I’m 1w2, which made a lot of sense.
Having a song that describes me better than i can describe myself is such a unique feeling. It was strange at first but it is extremely comforting that I am not the only one who feels this way.
Thank you, Sleeping At Last, for giving me a gift better than any other.
I'm the same!
I experienced the exact same you did with the Two and One song! It indeed brings a lot of comfort.
Omg, I'm also 1w2 and the songs just beautifully describe our struggles
Keona I’m a fellow 1
I believe the same but two struck me deeply it really did struck a chord in my heart with the music and the lyrics. Sleeping at last, You deserve so much more appreciation because you truly are amazing! 💜
This hurts my heart in such wonderful ways
“Grace requires nothing of me”
God bless
God bless you too
I find the fact that the handwriting is by Ryan is just so beautiful and wonderful and creative and just everything about this song and this video brings me so much comfort
When you’re perfect to everyone except yourself, when you seem out together in front of one person but can never get it together alone
Seeming worthy to some and worthless to yourself
"The list goes on forever, of all the ways I could be better, in my mind" completely hit me. Like a splash of cold water and I had to gasp for air. I'll never get rid of that list. I want to, but I can't. It will always be there, in my mind.
“The list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better” hit me hard
These songs are all so deep (and we can relate to them all on some level because Enneagram isn’t purely “You are this number only” but rather “This is your strongest set of traits we can categorize but ultimately you should be a more balanced and healthy person and learn from other personality types too”) and that being said, if you Fortnight dance to these songs, it helps prevent you from crying as much
My father is a one, and this song is him through and through. His first, and most important lesson was that kindness costs nothing. He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met. He’s my idol. He’s done so many great things to help his community, and I just hope he knows how much he makes a difference to this broken world. To all the ones out there, keep doing what you do. :))
maybe nothing is the actual cost though. you have to give up nothing, all the things that have nothing in them. Death is nothing, death is non-existence, what doesn't exist, is nothing. So maybe when something costs nothing, you just have to give up the things with death in them, like fear and selfishness. and yet it feels like it costs nothing too. this universe is so beautiful
I love the combination of calmness and determination in the melody. Fits perfectly the One personality
How do I know what number I am?
@@lightningbreak357 Personally, I think the best way to know is to think of yourself compared to the people that you love, and recognize what qualities make you and them so special.
@@DYHStories Thank you for the quick answer.
@@lightningbreak357 Gladly
Hey there, if ya want to go deep into the type one on the enneagram, here's an in-depth video for ya:
Type One: th-cam.com/video/PNTi3KfNZUE/w-d-xo.html
"I wanna sing a song worth singing" is an amazing lyric, as a one I can relate and I want to put my mark on the world so I can be remembered
Ryan: never change. you're too good for this world ♥
the world needs good people so that even the bad ones can see, hear and change! he fits in this world until God calls us to Him..:)
why so meaningful and touching and beautiful all the time
scarlett x ikr! they need to be heard by many!
I actually think I’m a one. When I listen I can’t help crying.
I came across the Enneagram a couple of years ago; I immediately saw myself as One dominate. What's beautiful about the Enneagram is it's origins and that it truly is a journey of discernment and growth. This song made me nearly cry; for a One, who always resists their passions, that's saying something. Keep up giving us The Beautiful!
all of Sleeping At Last’s songs are so heartbreakingly beautiful. how amazing would it be to hear them in concert.
This song saved my life
It was worth singing
💖
:)
"I want to sing a song worth singing."
Oh, you've done that for sure.
I love that no matter who you are, no matter what you believe, we all love the line "Grace requires nothing of me."
“I’ve spent my whole life searching desperately to find out that grace requires nothing of me” wow this hits home for me 😔
Your not alone on that
I come here to see a disturbing lack of "We are number one"
I’m sayin 🙄
I'm a 1. I never really find 1's
lol
My brother is a 1.
Like the song right?
I love the words "grace requires nothing of me". If you are a person of faith im sure you have stumbled upon the thought of "I got to fix my sin" when in reality Christ has already fixed your sin. What a powerful reminder this song is.
I cried at the line "grace requires nothing of you" brought me back to the revelation I had in the church that has been torn down now.
I myself identify as a type one. When I first heard the episode for this song on Ryan's podcast, I actually had such a connection and self discovery that I honestly got emotional. In the podcast, Ryan interviews a friend as well, and they both explain that we (type ones) tend to blame ourselves and pick flaws from ourselves so easily, that half of the time we don't even know why. I myself have personally always looked at myself as a human with an infinite amount of flaws. I always think that things, in their own little ways can be better, hence why I've always assumed that nothing I've ever done was good enough. After listening to this song, and listening to the podcast, I've come to a conclusion that perfection doesn't exist. I'm always going to want things to be better, it's just the way I am. But not every little thing in life needs to be better. Because it's simple, and pure.
I feel it deep in my bones. I live in Brazil. I've tried to get into a med school since 2015. I got in this year, but i had to leave my family and friends and move to another city. It was really painful and this new disease brought me back home. This song makes me feel like everything is gonna be fine. Tomorrow will be beautiful even though I am scared. I feel God when I listen to this song. His grace requires nothing of me.
This is awesome ... his voice is really special. The kind of voices you could easily recognise on the radio.
I don’t cry over songs. This is the first time. I’m sobbing.
My friend: Take this test.
Me: Ok!
* 5 minutes later*
Me: Done!
My friend: Type one... ok.
My friend: listen to this.
Me:* Crys in the first ten seconds but still listens to it anyways*
My friend: Are you ok....
Me: * Still crying like the baby I am* Yep.... don't worry yourself.
EXACTLY THE SAME HAHA
Which test did you do? Do you know the link?
@@ausrinesveciulyte2331 www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/ I think that's the most accurate one.
SAME!!
In his podcast, they actually say that is one way to determine your type; which one makes you feel most vulnerable/emotional
Watching this 30mins before 2025. Thank you for existing, sleepingatlast. Couldn't have made it in 2024 without your songs.
*The episode of Grey's Anatomy begun and I immediately knew it was Sleeping At Last* 😍 *What a beautiful song*
When I was first getting into the Enneagram, I repeatedly tested as a One. Now, I know for certain that I am a 5w4. However, I will always have a bit of a connection to Ones, and this song touches me so deeply. It reflects certain facets of myself which make me who I am.
The tempo reminds me of my type 1 husband, always on the go and always making lists. I admire you ones for how amazing you all are. I love how you get things done and how hard you try to do things right.
I identify as a one. And this song is basically a description of my whole life. I try to be what people want me to be. It makes me feel like i can never be myself with anyone. Heck i dont even know who i am. I dont know how to be myself anymore. Ive lost myself in this fight trying to be what everyone wants me too. This song reminds me that everything doesnt have to be perfect and i dont have to try and fix that.
Don't live for ppl , live for God and you will not have those feelings.
it's insane how this artist can capture my feelings. everytime i truly listen to his songs, i cry uncontrollably.
I'm a two, but i've always related to this song alot. I've always struggled with being a perfectionist and being pretty self-critical. My heart goes out to all ones, i hope you'll grow so you can accept imperfection, and be less harsh on yourselves.
🎵🎶"but the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better, in my mind"🎶 this is definitely story of my life😅
I don't have words literally for the music in this song it makes me so happy!🤗❤
I’m surprised nobody is talking about when he saids “now I have learned my lesson;the price of this so-called perfection” his voice cracks from the emotion.
I like that the lyrics are written faster than they're sung, and letters sometimes overlap each other- like the singer's brain is moving faster than they can get their thoughts out. The two columns of close-together text has a similar effect- it feels hastily scribbled out, which really suits the singer's desperation to fix things.
Type 1 - The Reformer
Perfectionists, responsible, fixated on improvement
Ones are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. This makes them perfectionists who want to reform and improve, who desire to make order out of the omnipresent chaos.
ty this is accurate
The beat of the song matched my heartbeat that’s the bit that choked me up
His podcast on the making of each of these songs is soooo good. Everything is so intentional .... sleepingatlast.podbean.com/e/episode-4-one-the-enneagram/
“I have spent my whole life searching desperately to find out that *grace requires nothing of me* “
When I tell you my body got shivers and I started internally sobbing at this line
Does anyone else think his handwriting is awesome?
ryan, i can’t thank you enough for your music. it’s magical.
It surprises me to see a lyrics video uploaded by Sleeping At Last himself. Wow, it’s beautiful as always 😍
my best friend sent me here because she told me that this is exactly what describes how I feel right now and now I’m in tears bc of how correct she is
Ooh, this is different. I like it!
I absolutely love this song. The lyrics, the music, and the visuals. It’s not fancy, it’s by no means perfect, but it is very deeply felt. It is just simple and honest and raw. And yet so beautiful. So loving. Music like this is the kind of music that gives meaning to our silent moments. I only discovered Sleeping At Last about a month or two ago, but it has been ages since I’ve found a band that I love as much as them and creates music that I truly love listening to. They add such a gentleness to music. I hope they never lose sight of that.
..only know for certain if we try....beautiful song and beautiful lyrics!
I just want to say thank you for this song and the effort you put into all of your music because they hit such a strong note in me. For this one, I ended up crying because I am a one type and it honestly represents my inner thoughts so well its scary. Thank you for all you do.
i recently just discovered you guys. your music is heavenly. i absolutely love it. I'm Type One. Who else is?
“grace requires nothing of me”
Wow... The truth in that is beautiful. God’s grace is sufficient... Nothing we can do can earn us His love or mercy. Rather, by His grace and through faith in Jesus, redemption is ours to keep...
underrated.. these lyrics rlly spoke and touched me in a way that no song has done before :)
Every one of these songs(1-9) have given me this weird nostalgic feeling and I can't tell how I feel about it cuz I'm happy but I wanna cry
I really love all about sleeping at last 💙
dude i’ve been in love with sleeing at last’s music for so long now. it hits my soft spot always. i just realized they have an enneagram album. i’ll sob myself to sleep tonight
Their music is very relaxing. The way they delivered their instrument it gave me goosebumps😍😍😍😍😍😍 i love sleeping atlast
No matter how many of these songs I listen to I'll never stop being amazed by the significance of the lyrics and the animation they use during their videos. It's always so beautiful and moving.
i wish i could find the words to explain how your voice, the words you use and the charming way the instruments compliment everything, make me feel. you absolute legend.💜
oh my god, sleeping at last's music always make my heart warm and in peace
I’ve never felt that understood by any description I’ve read of a 1 until this song (and the podcast about this song)
I just discovered these beautiful songs, the lyrics are well written
I don't know how to say this but your song, it's like hugged my soul.
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for creating yet another song that fits my book characters perfectly.
Brightstar Studio you're a writer??? Me too!!! What's your book about?
Oh dear that question. XD It's an older-YA fantasy novel about sprites, is the short answer. How about yours?
Ooooo sounds cool. I hope someday I can read it. Fantasy is something I wish I was better at xD. I go to an art high school, and I'm in the Creative Writing dicsipline, so mostly I just do writing assignments nowadays. Lol, this sounds really lame but last year I wrote a novel about Minecraft characters for my little brother. xD Thanks for asking!!!
Hey, that's not lame! We all have to start somewhere, right? My first stories were about unicorns and dragons. And then when I got older I wrote fanfiction for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist. XD
True!!! Lol, that's great. Keep writing, if you get something published someday let me know!!!! ;)
"the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better" felt like a gut punch. Wow.
My better half is a type One, so this song holds a special place in my heart, as it fits him so well. ''I want to sing a song worth singing'' ''but the list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better, in my mind.'' Thank you for defining so well the type One personnality, my personal favourite :)
what does a better half type mean is it like the life path numbers ?
@@queendevious3236 better half = significant other. Type One = Enneagram of Personality Type 1.
Shannon I hope the 7 song made you both as happy as it made me. :)
This is powerful it’s eye opening the beat is everything it has its powerful to understand the anxiety the flow of power and energy in the song makes you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulder i can’t describe it but it’s not a bad feeling i love this so much.
this is SO beatiful..
I’m a 1 turned 5w7, this song still makes me weep like a baby but it got me through my first heartbreak last year, thank you one. You rid me of my tears and made me realise my self-confidence. 🥺🙏
SAL is always a song worth singing
When I heard “grace requires nothing of me” I cried. I cried big ugly tears.. Thank you.
the melody sorta gives me a rush deep within.....a good one.............it's...somewhat enlightening??
idk. unlike ryan, i'm obviously struggling to put it into words LOL love it!!!!! 💖💙
Paul Art It's like running through the woods.
@@kfaison918 THAT'S THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION
I always felt like no one understands me. This song and the comment section showed me that I´m not alone. Thank you
Ryan did it again 🌻💛
"list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better." What a powerful line.
I'm a five, but there's something about each song of this album that I can still connect to deeply. This is currently my favourite, since as an art student I'm trying to stop being a perfectionist xd this really helps, whenever I feel like I'm not enough and I can do better than this.
"Now I have learned my lesson, the price of this so-called perfection is everything"
Oh my gosh!!!! 😭😭😭😭 I just found this music project last night and I'm listening to these songs. It's the first time I've heard of an enneagram... this is such a cool concept! I'm a type one, and this song resonates with me so deeply... wow! He put into words what i couldn't! And he still made it beautiful. Like sometimes I feel really bad about my ugly qualities, and I was a bit unhappy when I found out I was a one, but this song highlights the good things about ones, not just the bad... yay!
Two found me yesterday and one today. Beautiful songs. I didn’t cry today but appreciating the wisdom in the lyrics!! Thank you!
Thanks to this side of youtube, I'm falling in love with life again!
I can't believe i found a good use of my internet data pack.
words can't even express the way I feel about the way you inspire and make your craft your own. If you ever wondered about doing something else ... I'm here to reassure you that you are the best at being yourself. That reflects itself in your music. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
