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.
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 :(
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 😕

"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’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.
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
"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!
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.

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'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.
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.
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.
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/
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.
🎵🎶"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 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.
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.
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 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...
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!!!!! 💖💙
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
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.💜
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.
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’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’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. 🥺🙏
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. ❤❤❤
THANK YOU. JUST A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU. As much as I want to spread goodness and beauty with this, I'm always afraid that the mediocre world and mainstream entertainment and fans would ruin all these. How do I do this aye? 😭😩🤔
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.
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 :)
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.
Excellent song. I don't think my struggles with perfectionism is rooted in me trying to earn God's favor but more about trying to live up to my own standard apart from his grace. I beat myself up, he never does that. He's a good Father. The never ending cycle of perfectionism is not. Pray for me, brothers and sisters. Trying to find rest
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!
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.
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
Lyrics : Hold on for a minute, 'cause I believe that we can fix this over time That every imperfection is a lie Or at least an interruption Now hold on, let me finish No, I'm not saying perfect exists in this life But we'll only know for certain if we try I... I wanna sing a song worth singing I... Write an anthem worth repeating I... I wanna feel the transformation A melody of reformation The list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better in my mind As if I could earn God's favor given time Or at least congratulations Now I have learned my lesson The price of this so-called perfection is everything I spend my whole life searching desperately To find out grace requires nothing of me I... I wanna sing a song worth singing I... Write an anthem worth repeating I... I wanna feel the transformation A melody of reformation I hold it all more loosely, and yet somehow much more dearly 'Cause I spend my whole life searching desperately To find out that grace requires nothing Grace requires nothing of me That's song 😍
“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 can relate so much to this song.... I've always been so focused on perfection. Now I know that the word "perfection" is a made up word that us people thought was real. I've always thought about how to be better it's what I think about in my mind 24/7. This song makes me feel at home and safe.❤
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.

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.
Yes, so cool! There is a podcast where he explains exactly that!
wow, I never caught that but this is so true.
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
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...

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)!

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'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 :)

"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.

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 :)
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
💯
"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!
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 😌
human being 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.
Thank you, Master Yoda
"I've spent my whole life searching desperately, to find out grace requires nothing of me" That hit HARD.
yes.
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! 💜
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
“Grace requires nothing of me”
God bless
God bless you too
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
This hurts my heart in such wonderful ways
“The list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better” hit me hard
"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
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
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!
why so meaningful and touching and beautiful all the time
scarlett x ikr! they need to be heard by many!
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.
This song saved my life
It was worth singing
💖
:)
“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
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..:)
I don’t cry over songs. This is the first time. I’m sobbing.
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.
all of Sleeping At Last’s songs are so heartbreakingly beautiful. how amazing would it be to hear them in concert.
I love that no matter who you are, no matter what you believe, we all love the line "Grace requires nothing of me."
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'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.
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.
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.
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/
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.
🎵🎶"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 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.
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.
*The episode of Grey's Anatomy begun and I immediately knew it was Sleeping At Last* 😍 *What a beautiful song*
This is awesome ... his voice is really special. The kind of voices you could easily recognise on the radio.
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 want to sing a song worth singing."
Oh, you've done that for sure.
it's insane how this artist can capture my feelings. everytime i truly listen to his songs, i cry uncontrollably.
I really love all about sleeping at last 💙
It surprises me to see a lyrics video uploaded by Sleeping At Last himself. Wow, it’s beautiful as always 😍
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.
Ooh, this is different. I like it!
ryan, i can’t thank you enough for your music. it’s magical.
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
i recently just discovered you guys. your music is heavenly. i absolutely love it. I'm Type One. Who else is?
Does anyone else think his handwriting is awesome?
..only know for certain if we try....beautiful song and beautiful lyrics!
“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...
Their music is very relaxing. The way they delivered their instrument it gave me goosebumps😍😍😍😍😍😍 i love sleeping atlast
underrated.. these lyrics rlly spoke and touched me in a way that no song has done before :)
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
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
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.💜
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.
this is SO beatiful..
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’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’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. 🥺🙏
I’ve never felt that understood by any description I’ve read of a 1 until this song (and the podcast about this song)
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. ❤❤❤
Como sempre todas as músicas são incríveis e perfeitas!
Amo essa banda
oh my god, sleeping at last's music always make my heart warm and in peace
THANK YOU. JUST A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU.
As much as I want to spread goodness and beauty with this, I'm always afraid that the mediocre world and mainstream entertainment and fans would ruin all these. How do I do this aye? 😭😩🤔
This song is so beautiful and it makes me cry. It’s underrated
Ryan did it again 🌻💛
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 love this so much.
Boom thank you Jesus Christ. Grace requires nothing of me ❤️ thank you Sleeping at last your sound brings waves of refreshing!
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. :)
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.
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
I always felt like no one understands me. This song and the comment section showed me that I´m not alone. Thank you
SAL is always a song worth singing
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 was listening sleeping at last-already gone and then TH-cam nofication comes and says there's a new song by sleeping at last 😂💕
Excellent song. I don't think my struggles with perfectionism is rooted in me trying to earn God's favor but more about trying to live up to my own standard apart from his grace. I beat myself up, he never does that. He's a good Father. The never ending cycle of perfectionism is not. Pray for me, brothers and sisters. Trying to find rest
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!
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.
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!!!! ;)
I really love this band...they do so much good music!!
😘😘
wow i love your music so much
Two found me yesterday and one today. Beautiful songs. I didn’t cry today but appreciating the wisdom in the lyrics!! Thank you!
Lyrics :
Hold on for a minute, 'cause I believe that we can fix this over time
That every imperfection is a lie
Or at least an interruption
Now hold on, let me finish
No, I'm not saying perfect exists in this life
But we'll only know for certain if we try
I... I wanna sing a song worth singing
I... Write an anthem worth repeating
I... I wanna feel the transformation
A melody of reformation
The list goes on forever of all the ways I could be better in my mind
As if I could earn God's favor given time
Or at least congratulations
Now I have learned my lesson
The price of this so-called perfection is everything
I spend my whole life searching desperately
To find out grace requires nothing of me
I... I wanna sing a song worth singing
I... Write an anthem worth repeating
I... I wanna feel the transformation
A melody of reformation
I hold it all more loosely, and yet somehow much more dearly
'Cause I spend my whole life searching desperately
To find out that grace requires nothing
Grace requires nothing of me
That's song 😍
“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
Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 Episode 12 led me here 👏🏾
I can relate so much to this song.... I've always been so focused on perfection. Now I know that the word "perfection" is a made up word that us people thought was real. I've always thought about how to be better it's what I think about in my mind 24/7. This song makes me feel at home and safe.❤
Just like daughter i love it
When I heard “grace requires nothing of me” I cried. I cried big ugly tears.. Thank you.
Love it ♡
