okay, everybody's talking about how great the song is, can we please acknowledge the video (!!!) which they apparently directed, edited and shot themselves. It's so freaking good
I didn't realize till my fifth time watching that he already crashed his car in the lake and the movie theater is him watching his life flash before his eyes there are so many layers to this video. Including the burning piano which is was her passion and him burning it to get rid of the memories. Plus the opening of the video is him arriving back home from his near death experience to embrace is (I'm guessing) mother. Hence the soaked clothes. This is the most polished music video I've seen in a long time.
@@TheForgottenOddKing If you dont see the message of the video was that drugs can destroy your happy life. I don't know what will get past your head anymore.
In little above five minutes, this band manages to encapsulate the full spectrum of human emotion, from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy. It's a testament to their skill as artists, their ability to tap into the very essence of what it means to be human and translate it into music that speaks to the very core of our being.
My Wife and I lost our baby back in November, the scene where they are cuddling in the hospital room bought back that pain so well and done it massive justice didn't sugarcoat it and showed how it truly feels. Thank you to both the actors and to While She Sleeps. This song is beautiful and simply amazing!!
This shows how I feel, lost my 4 day old boy last March, nothing has felt the same since, I have a 3yr old girl who requires me everyday, keep strong, ask for help, DO NOT suffer in silence, there's always someone out there for you to make it through, YOU ARE WE!!!
I understand, you're not alone. I visit my dead son, Spartacus aka "Sparty". Spartacus forever took a piece of my heart and it will ache till I take my last breath. It's hard to visit my baby son at the cemetery but I do. And I always remained strong even after losing him. I didn't numb the pain with drugs, alcohol, sex, food, work, exercise, or the terrible internet. I dealt with it and faced all the emotions and got personal help, and I thank God always for the strength I have. I honor my son by being stronger and a better person every day. I honor my son by being strong for his little brother he now has and my husband. It's okay to have emotions and it's okay to be human. U keep your head up. Bless you. And bless your little angel. My angel son is doing greater things beyond this world and I know yours is too. I lost Spartacus on October 26 of 2022, he was perfectly formed and a lovely weight but a stillborn . His little brother was born on October 26 2023! Same day, baby snake. 😇. I was treated pretty bad both my pregnancies mainly by my own family especially. My husband was the only one truly there for me and I'm still greatful. Smile because he's proud of u and I know mine is too. Pain is privilege to a warrior 🙏.
To everyone, including their own stories in these comments: thank you, sincerely. Even sharing these have a great impact on helping people know they're not alone. I've been taking care of my mother for the last 2 years, through cancer, the death of my father, & now a sudden brain tumor. I'm 25, put my career on halt, & have been the most alone I've ever felt through this. It means more than I thought it would just to hear all of your stories & attitudes. & thank you to While She Sleeps for providing such an artistic conduit.
My sincere condolences for the loss of your parents to cancer. I understand the profound pain and sense of loss you are experiencing. While I did not suffer from a brain tumor, I lost my mother at the age of 26 and my father at the age of 27. I empathize with your feelings of being utterly lost without your parents. I hope you find solace and peace during this difficult time. If you are open to spiritual practices, I found that prayer provided me with a sense of comfort and strength.
Maybe you aren’t spiritual, but when you are at your limits and you ask our creator for peace, it will come. Prayers for you, your mother… stay strong.
I'm sorry for what you went through and are going through. I understand the situation well, as I have a very similar story. Maybe a little worse, but we have great similarities in our paths. In my case it all started 10 years ago. I hope that things can get better for you, that the sun shines again, that you find yourself again and smile again. Hold on to faith and be strong. Everything passes, it may take time, but it will pass and things will get better.
It is an honor to be part of Sleeps artistic journey. They evolve with every record and this new one could just be their most diverse album yet. This song is beautiful and the visuals are just stunning. I really felt that one! So happy and proud to be part of the Sleeps Society!
Right in the feels guys 🖤 to everyone: there is hope for every one of us, no matter how dark the hole you're in seems to be like. WE are all here for you. Reach out, don't do drugs. You are we 🖤
I work in the film industry and this has had my jaw hit the floor more than anything in years. This is like 4 feature films worth of insanely artistic shots rolled into one. I don't know whose responsible but take a fucking bow. Excuse me, the song is also incredible btw. - these guys absolutely slap live.
I really don't know how long it took to shoot this video,but this is totally another level for While She Sleeps! A short MOVIE. Incredible emotions in 5 minutes, so deep and amazing. Blessed to see this
I discovered this song yesterday while driving back home from my band's concert. Played it on repeat for 4 hours straight while crying over 'us'. She was sleeping in the passenger seat and I barely pulled my thoughts together while gripping the steering wheel. We've had this kind of relationship for the past 5 years... last month, she decided that she wants to move forward and be 'just friends'. Two nights ago I lost all hope; all the talks & changes couldn't fix 'us' this time, she's really serious about it. 'Just friends' feels impossible for me right now, as I still have so many feelings left for her. She was my best friend and the only one I felt comfortable sharing every thought with. Today, the only thing I'm sure about is that without her, I can't feel anything but 'down'. Tomorrow, I'll be moving back to my parents place for a while... I only watched the music video this morning and it's exactly how I pictured 'us' on the road back home. Incredible composition, outstanding acting. Thank you While She Sleeps. Thank you Robert Peach and Anna Thornley
Hang in there, man. This shit is not easy. Don't forget that you have value and try to love and take care of yourself, even when it's hard. You're stronger than you think. Take care
Going through the exact same thing mate, it's crushing, but you got this. Gonna be a fucking horrible few months, but there has to be light at the end, you just got to find it. Take care of yourself mate.
I’m sure I am the least qualified to really add anything to this conversation, but I do want to point you towards the greatest hope there is: Jesus Christ, your God. I hope it doesn’t sound cheap; turning to Jesus will not suddenly ease all your pain, but, He is the God who created you, and He crated you for a purpose, and that is to be in a relationship with God, to worship and serve Him. I hope you’ll consider Jesus.
Been dealing with depression and numbness for a long time now, thank you for reminding me what it's like to feel again because I was losing hope. You'll never know how much this meant to me
As a junkie it was the middle the got me. Before I got clean I od'd several times, pains me to think that my wife and kids almost lost their dad! Just passed 3 years tho! God is good.
2:34 has to be some of the most brilliant match cuts i've seen in a while. Stylistic, rhythmic, beautiful contrast between the colour composition and theme of the two shots, and in sync with the music. Holy hell, this music video is the golden standard of music videos.
As a filmmaker, the emotion this video produced is equal parts as beautiful as the song. I haven't watched a video that has brought me to tears in such a way, in a LONG time. Bravo. Being able to convey the joy and extreme heartbreak over arguably the most joyous moment of ones life, in just under 6 minutes is genius level work.
Man the emotions displayed throughout this video just rip open the wounds we are trying to hide. Have been mentally & emotionally numb the past few weeks and this allowed me to cry. Feels good to let it all out now that it’s all over
There's nothing more special than when a band is peaking with the authenticity of their music and producing true works of art. This song is the culmination of years of growing together in life and finding their identity as musicians and a band. Absolutely beautiful to hear and see. I hope all you guys are so proud of yourselves. Can't wait to see what these guys continue to come out with.
Absolute chills, grown ass man and I'm ballin my eyes out. What an emotional piece of art, and such a sad but incredible visual display that the music fits perfectly. You guys are masters at your craft, thank you for this. Cannot wait for the new album
This song is what art is all about. The fact one song can make you have so many emotions within a short amount of time is the greatest feat an artist can strive for. And While She Sleeps has surpassed that feat. Well done boys, keep making music for us to feel and not just listen to. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
There's no other way to explain this. In some way, it's relevant to all of us in whatever way your life has gone. Everyone's path has been a little bit different, but this is art. It's beautiful in everything it could possibly mean to any person. But...for God's sake, give Sean his credit on that freaking lead work. Always incredible. There's always hope guys. Even when all you want to do is curl up in a ball, and cry for a minute before you have to get up to do life. Everyone, be well. Its hard sometimes, but it's always possible. "You are not alone", ever.
Tbh, I couldn't relate. I think for anyone who hasn't experienced genuine love and connection, it's hard to connect with the video. But I could still feel something. It all just felt too foreign to me.
For those who find the way through music, when whispers mimic the screams held in.. this song gives a release that is only acknowledged in the most private of emotions.
Been struggling a lot in the past few years with feeling numb and disconnected to who I really am. This song made me tear up 5 seconds into the video. Music has such a beautiful way of making us feel what the artists behind it want us to feel.❤
God this is heartbreaking, beautiful, thought provoking, and stunning, the actors were a great choice, Robert has amazing emotion in his eyes, great work guys.
@@bre420Keep going, one day at a time. Look after those around you, they might need you more than both you and they realise. If i can recommend a song it's Disappoint by Assemblage 23. The singer went through the same thing you have. Stay strong
This song and video are powerful. It expresses so many deep themes. One of those being grief over the death of a loved one. Another is the isolation of loss. It’s also interesting to see how through the whole video, it’s basically only the couple. The video appears to be a reflection of modern views on romantic relationships. There are no other supports, or community, or even other people. The couple walks alone in the park. They eat alone in a diner. They dance alone in an empty dance hall. The older woman (who could be his mother, or at least a family member) comes only at the end to console him, and express affection. The only other people that possibly could be present are those in the other cars at the drive-in movie, which as another commenter pointed out, could just be him experiencing his life flashing before his eyes. The video does a great job of expressing all the highs and low -love, the announcement of a baby, the loss of that baby, the loss of a partner, drug use, and the fall out. The hard part to deal with is there is little hope left in the video. And the lyrics match this sentiment as well (“we’re all going down to the flowers.”) In the end, it appears that the man has a second chance; he has survived his water suicide attempt. But what will he do now? He has lost the woman that he has loved - the whole video is him fixated on her. (The band is called “While She Sleeps” and the album is “Self-Hell.”) We all need something outside ourselves to hope in. Otherwise, we are stuck in the same abyss from the song (“It’s too late, nothings gonna change at all. Nothing gonna change at all.”) Only God can give us that ultimate hope. My prayer is that everyone that watches this video, and relates to the painful subjects presented, find hope in Jesus. Instead of numbing ourselves to pain (like with drugs, or attempting suicide, or many other things), we can find peace in God. Everyone needs hope to live and to love.
My last longterm relationships were drowned in a drug addiction, both were struggling through many mental issues, but loving each other from full heart. I had moments when I was afraid of a possibility to pass out due to unreal doses we were using. I remember this episodes when I felt doomed by an addiction and in the end we were in a toxic but addictive relationship. In the ending road of this nightmare I was too close to commit a suicide. This pain was something more powerful and at the same time the regrets... Now I can control myself, we broke up and I am developing myself in many things and I got a will to live. Just want to let you know, even if there is an episode where you think there won't be a brightside, continue fighting
Damn this video... I already watched it a thousands times, and I still can't get over it. The actors are so talented, the colors, the construction... It's juste a masterpiece from start to finish, and then you add the music...Oh god what I time to be alive and have the chance to be touched by this magnificent song that instantely became my favorite. Can't wait for the new album and see how much your talent is gonna change my life AGAIN. Just thank you WSS. You are we.
Honestly this is phenomenal. Not only the banger song but, yall made this video yourselves! How can a band be this talented and also just become genuinely talented filmmakers that can make such an evocative shortfilm. Really beauitful stuff lads, you are a neverending inspiration. Gonna go cry over this video now.
Everyone involved in this music video needs some kind of award. The actors, the crew behind the scenes, of course the band themselves. Hats off to everyone! Peace and love. ♥️
The beauty of this video and it's almost 2 million views is that you cannot watch this video twice back to back because the first time watching it sticks with you for months. I'll watch the guitar play through on repeat, but this video just crushes your emotions. I know everyone can relate.
This song just poured out every emotion to man and woman ! I was left crying,smiling, laughing, angry. ..so much more. Music is a powerful thing ! Much love to the Artist from Maine ! I love this song to the core !
That dude can act. Usually i don’t care about acting but that dude crushed it. Also Sean making me simultaneously want to get better at guitar and also quit with those unique amazing leads
this is one of the most powerful music videos i have ever seen. i was just going around listening to different and new music i haven't heard and was hit with this. i currently just wrapped up a divorce and nothing has made me emotional as this video these last 9 months. the exact same emotions portrayed is exactly what i was/am going through. definitely needed this.
1:35 first play through and I’m crying before the words even hit. The rift hit and I’m bawling . It has been so long since a song hit me so hard and I am in hearbreaking love with it.
I had to grieve my unborn baby on my own a while ago ..and reached breakup due to the depression that caused me. The scene where they lost the baby made my tears go down like a river. This depicts the emotions I felt back then especially that the event led to a break up as well. It actually made me feel not alone in it, the chaos one experience in their life in the aftermath of such event is insane. The complexity of that cant be put into words. Yet the video knew how to transmit those emotions..lots of respect for this piece of art. And lots of courage to all thise going through something similar. 🙏🏻
This video really transported me somewhere, into their story, and has me thinking about my own. Life is truly awful and beautiful throughout, and you can’t imagine the extreme lows and highs until you’ve experienced them. Very beautifully shot, acted, and viscerally real.
I've watched this video 20+ times in the last 2 days & each time there's something new to notice. This time it was realising why he's ringing out his t-shirt at the start 😢 The lost art of music videos is needed for the very reason that is this masterpiece. We all take our own subjective message or meaning from a song, but a real, powerful video like this conveys so much about the thoughts behind the words & the notes. It helps reach that extra realm of potential of connecting deeper from band to fan, no matter where in the world. Their heavy songs hit in every way imaginable live, but some of their songs driven by the suffering that comes with feeling are so emotionally profound that they cry out for an alternatively artistic way to portray their story such as this. What a song, what a video, absolutely beautiful #youarewe
The most potent emotional music video released to date. tears roll down my face because i can confidently and regrettably say I've suffered this lesson. incredible that you guys were able to put it into lyrics. thank you.
I don't know what just happened to me but I've never experienced how I feel right now. All in a good way too. Incredible video for a beautiful song. Thank you!
Speaking from someone who's lost a child in the late stages of pregnancy, I can say it's one of the hardest things to come back from. Not many people do. It's taken my wife and I almost a year and a half to get back to "normal." I can only understand so much not being the one who physically went through it, but the pain runs deep. Be there for them even if sometimes you're the one that has to absorb a bit of that pain. Hold them closely and know its neither of your fault. If you dont hold each other up, then one of you could drown in the sorrow. Live for each other and the future. Go through the process as long as it takes. It won't be easy , but you won't be alone.. There's always a brighter tomorrow ahead after the darkness.
@JosephJames-oe4jq thank you. After the majority of a year of recovering, I'm really happy to say my wife and I are expecting again. She's only 10 weeks and it's very early but I just want you to know. There's always a light at the end of the darkness, you just have to be strong and patient.
@Anderson_the_NomaD We got sent home on the day off the expected delivery and were asked to come back in 8 days or if anything happens. 4 days later we woke up with there being no movements at all. One rushing later and a bunch of time to convince the dr's to even let us stay and start the process with medicine.. 16 hours of her drinking medicine shots to start it, then 17 hours of labour.. My little girl was stuck halfway and the doctors did nothing. After her vitals had been terrible for 2 hours they decided on a blood test from her head. Her lactic acid levels were extremely high. Now they decide to do a c-section. It was too late. I stood and watched in silence as over 12 different doctors tried saving my daughter's life with CPR and adrenaline shots. 48 minutes later i held her for the first time but she didn't make it
@@Anderson_the_NomaDI wish you all the luck in the world. Life will strike us down and we will break hundreds of times. But keep getting up, that's all we can do
Honestly, best track I’ve heard from this band is a very long time. Used to be a die hard from the beginning but last couple albums haven’t resonated with me. This tune feels special.
A die hard is someone who likes something and basically has to try to hate that tjing not to enjoy it. You could just say "I really liked this band's earlier stuff, I haven't enjoyed them recently". Instead you have to try and pat yourself on the back for enjoying a song. Half of every band's "fans" fucking suck. Derive whatever meaning you want from that.
@@nolankuffner3573 Nolan, get some mates lad. This songs sick, special I even said. I followed the band sing the north stands for nothing days, but over time interest peaks and dwindles with bands. Sausage.
@@nolankuffner3573chill man lol it’s cool for people to fall in and out of love with a band. I agree the last couple of albums weren’t there for me. Are they bad? Not at all! Just weren’t for me and that’s okay. I’ve been listening since the north stands for nothing days. Let the man express himself lol
huge. i knew it. but.. this love like wounds on heart, will never fade away, will always make you remember about that time. that time where you was happy. and with her. huge. so huge, i can't describe it. thank you.

I’m sure I am the least qualified to really add anything to this conversation, but I do want to point you towards the greatest hope there is: Jesus Christ, your God. I hope it doesn’t sound cheap; turning to Jesus will not suddenly ease all your pain, but, He is the God who created you, and He crated you for a purpose, and that is to be in a relationship with God, to worship and serve Him. I hope you’ll consider Jesus.
hope ya get better. Im starting my therapy rn and i hope that you dont need to go through such stuff. WIth time we can heal
To The Flowers indeed. Thank you.
Been dealing with depression and numbness for a long time now, thank you for reminding me what it's like to feel again because I was losing hope. You'll never know how much this meant to me
Get off the anti depressants they are ruining your life
You are we. Keep learning, keep fighting and don't give up never 🛐🥀🔥
We love you
Dont forget that
Thank you both I know I'm not the only one, but it still means a lot 🖤
😢 same .keep fighting x you are we ❤
Emotional rollercoaster. The last minute of the song really reaches in and grips your soul... If you have one.
As a junkie it was the middle the got me. Before I got clean I od'd several times, pains me to think that my wife and kids almost lost their dad! Just passed 3 years tho! God is good.
@@griffisjm good on you.
That shot of the burning piano is phenomenal. Love the work you guys do.
Agree!
SEFA did it first
2:34 has to be some of the most brilliant match cuts i've seen in a while. Stylistic, rhythmic, beautiful contrast between the colour composition and theme of the two shots, and in sync with the music. Holy hell, this music video is the golden standard of music videos.
hard not to cry when the scene hits at 3:12 showing them laughing together.
This is exactly the reason that While She Sleeps will always be my favorite band of all time.
Posser
As a filmmaker, the emotion this video produced is equal parts as beautiful as the song. I haven't watched a video that has brought me to tears in such a way, in a LONG time. Bravo. Being able to convey the joy and extreme heartbreak over arguably the most joyous moment of ones life, in just under 6 minutes is genius level work.
I want a full movie of this , and it needs to be huge. This crisis is not talked about enough.
Man the emotions displayed throughout this video just rip open the wounds we are trying to hide.
Have been mentally & emotionally numb the past few weeks and this allowed me to cry. Feels good to let it all out now that it’s all over
There's nothing more special than when a band is peaking with the authenticity of their music and producing true works of art. This song is the culmination of years of growing together in life and finding their identity as musicians and a band. Absolutely beautiful to hear and see. I hope all you guys are so proud of yourselves. Can't wait to see what these guys continue to come out with.
Im seriously hooked on this song
Absolute chills, grown ass man and I'm ballin my eyes out. What an emotional piece of art, and such a sad but incredible visual display that the music fits perfectly. You guys are masters at your craft, thank you for this. Cannot wait for the new album
This song is what art is all about. The fact one song can make you have so many emotions within a short amount of time is the greatest feat an artist can strive for. And While She Sleeps has surpassed that feat. Well done boys, keep making music for us to feel and not just listen to. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
this
It's amazing how the intensity of a song can be enhanced by a music video. This is truly an awe-inspiring piece of art.
God, I have never cried during a music vid... this emulates what happen to me at 26. I lost a little boy and her within a month...
thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏
You ever just listen to a song and have to sit in silence for a few minutes after to process it?
This is one of those for me, what a masterpiece
There's no other way to explain this. In some way, it's relevant to all of us in whatever way your life has gone. Everyone's path has been a little bit different, but this is art. It's beautiful in everything it could possibly mean to any person. But...for God's sake, give Sean his credit on that freaking lead work. Always incredible. There's always hope guys. Even when all you want to do is curl up in a ball, and cry for a minute before you have to get up to do life. Everyone, be well. Its hard sometimes, but it's always possible. "You are not alone", ever.
Tbh, I couldn't relate. I think for anyone who hasn't experienced genuine love and connection, it's hard to connect with the video. But I could still feel something. It all just felt too foreign to me.
I know this band has so many great songs, but this one right here goes all the way to the top for me. What a song!
That guitar at the start...is...amazing
This is straight up probably the best music video I have seen in the last decade.
Absolutely beautiful.
Killswitch Engage -Always?
For those who find the way through music, when whispers mimic the screams held in.. this song gives a release that is only acknowledged in the most private of emotions.
Been struggling a lot in the past few years with feeling numb and disconnected to who I really am. This song made me tear up 5 seconds into the video. Music has such a beautiful way of making us feel what the artists behind it want us to feel.❤
God this is heartbreaking, beautiful, thought provoking, and stunning, the actors were a great choice, Robert has amazing emotion in his eyes, great work guys.
I watch this video regularly to help me pull out all of my bundled anger, sadness, frustration, guilt, trauma etc. This video helps me to keep going.
This video is currently daily getting me thru life as I try to rewire it as losing my dad to suicid3
@@bre420Keep going, one day at a time.
Look after those around you, they might need you more than both you and they realise.
If i can recommend a song it's Disappoint by Assemblage 23. The singer went through the same thing you have.
Stay strong
I've listened to this song at least once a day since it released. Such a masterpiece.
This song and video are powerful. It expresses so many deep themes. One of those being grief over the death of a loved one. Another is the isolation of loss. It’s also interesting to see how through the whole video, it’s basically only the couple. The video appears to be a reflection of modern views on romantic relationships. There are no other supports, or community, or even other people. The couple walks alone in the park. They eat alone in a diner. They dance alone in an empty dance hall. The older woman (who could be his mother, or at least a family member) comes only at the end to console him, and express affection. The only other people that possibly could be present are those in the other cars at the drive-in movie, which as another commenter pointed out, could just be him experiencing his life flashing before his eyes.
The video does a great job of expressing all the highs and low -love, the announcement of a baby, the loss of that baby, the loss of a partner, drug use, and the fall out. The hard part to deal with is there is little hope left in the video. And the lyrics match this sentiment as well (“we’re all going down to the flowers.”) In the end, it appears that the man has a second chance; he has survived his water suicide attempt. But what will he do now? He has lost the woman that he has loved - the whole video is him fixated on her. (The band is called “While She Sleeps” and the album is “Self-Hell.”)
We all need something outside ourselves to hope in. Otherwise, we are stuck in the same abyss from the song (“It’s too late, nothings gonna change at all. Nothing gonna change at all.”) Only God can give us that ultimate hope. My prayer is that everyone that watches this video, and relates to the painful subjects presented, find hope in Jesus. Instead of numbing ourselves to pain (like with drugs, or attempting suicide, or many other things), we can find peace in God. Everyone needs hope to live and to love.
It's a shame this song's only 5min24sec long.
Yet it's a blessing While She Sleeps exists.
There's no way, it felt like 2 minutes
That music video is one of the most emotionally raw and powerful music videos I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Well done.
My last longterm relationships were drowned in a drug addiction, both were struggling through many mental issues, but loving each other from full heart. I had moments when I was afraid of a possibility to pass out due to unreal doses we were using. I remember this episodes when I felt doomed by an addiction and in the end we were in a toxic but addictive relationship. In the ending road of this nightmare I was too close to commit a suicide. This pain was something more powerful and at the same time the regrets... Now I can control myself, we broke up and I am developing myself in many things and I got a will to live. Just want to let you know, even if there is an episode where you think there won't be a brightside, continue fighting
im proud of you. i hope youll have a really good life.
Be proud 👏 keep fighting my friend god bless everyone of you 🙏 ❤️ you are all you need .😢I struggle x
2:35 the transition 🔥
The opening riff is something special
That solo gave me chills
Never heard this band before, but by the end of the video I was sobbing, you know you've done something right when I actually cry for once
❤❤❤
Damn this video... I already watched it a thousands times, and I still can't get over it. The actors are so talented, the colors, the construction... It's juste a masterpiece from start to finish, and then you add the music...Oh god what I time to be alive and have the chance to be touched by this magnificent song that instantely became my favorite. Can't wait for the new album and see how much your talent is gonna change my life AGAIN.
Just thank you WSS.
You are we.
Agree with you thoughts. You are we 🖤✨
It’s incredible how realistically this video shows love and lost. How they are both clearly in love but also so deeply flawed.
What a masterpiece - both the video and song. Never thought that there would be bands like this, but here we are - and it's better so.
With the video next to it, this song takes on new meanings, it's just tear-jerking, the video is incredible and the meanings are embedded in it
Honestly this is phenomenal. Not only the banger song but, yall made this video yourselves! How can a band be this talented and also just become genuinely talented filmmakers that can make such an evocative shortfilm. Really beauitful stuff lads, you are a neverending inspiration. Gonna go cry over this video now.
This song and video absolutely broke me down. It just feels like my past relationship put into a video and it's a raw feeling, which I can not escape.
This is a level of cinematography that I've never seen on this music genre, and I'm here for it.
Never have been the biggest fan but this song is just wow. That outro with the solo gave me goosebumps. This song is my song of the year so far
Im crying my eyeballs out 😭😭😭 so much emotions in these five minutes 💔
Constantly reinforcing the fact that this is my favourite band for a reason. Just beautiful
The best song they have released since the You Are We era.
AGREE
True- really fell off from this band after So What? but this new song absolutely slaps
Know Your Worth is my favorite by them so I have to disagree
You guys are crazy, Sleeps Society is an amazing album
Artists, please... Make more music videos with amazing storytelling (and tremendous acting) like this one. 10/10
Everyone involved in this music video needs some kind of award. The actors, the crew behind the scenes, of course the band themselves. Hats off to everyone! Peace and love. ♥️
This video is so good that I couldn’t hear the music… only stare at the scenes and cry. Amazing job.
a próxima do sea smile tem que ser nessa pegada ou mais pesada que adrenalina ein
@@fro1159 oh yeah! Estamos nisso 🫡🔥
The kind of music that makes me feel alive
The beauty of this video and it's almost 2 million views is that you cannot watch this video twice back to back because the first time watching it sticks with you for months. I'll watch the guitar play through on repeat, but this video just crushes your emotions. I know everyone can relate.
This song just poured out every emotion to man and woman ! I was left crying,smiling, laughing, angry. ..so much more. Music is a powerful thing ! Much love to the Artist from Maine ! I love this song to the core !
I can't stop crying
That dude can act. Usually i don’t care about acting but that dude crushed it.
Also Sean making me simultaneously want to get better at guitar and also quit with those unique amazing leads
Sean that solo was pure gold ❤❤❤
Sean is a genius at what he does
this is one of the most powerful music videos i have ever seen. i was just going around listening to different and new music i haven't heard and was hit with this.
i currently just wrapped up a divorce and nothing has made me emotional as this video these last 9 months. the exact same emotions portrayed is exactly what i was/am going through.
definitely needed this.
1:35 first play through and I’m crying before the words even hit. The rift hit and I’m bawling . It has been so long since a song hit me so hard and I am in hearbreaking love with it.
This band is pure GOLD
4:25 whoever was responsible for this riff needs an award
👌🏻
Gotta love a feely lead/solo section 🤘
for me 4:42
The intro riff is also incredible
4:09 for intro. The whole riff is just beautiful.
Holy shit… I’ve never had a music video move me like this did. I’m at a loss for words. Wow. This is your guys masterpiece.
I had to grieve my unborn baby on my own a while ago ..and reached breakup due to the depression that caused me. The scene where they lost the baby made my tears go down like a river. This depicts the emotions I felt back then especially that the event led to a break up as well. It actually made me feel not alone in it, the chaos one experience in their life in the aftermath of such event is insane. The complexity of that cant be put into words. Yet the video knew how to transmit those emotions..lots of respect for this piece of art. And lots of courage to all thise going through something similar. 🙏🏻
This video really transported me somewhere, into their story, and has me thinking about my own. Life is truly awful and beautiful throughout, and you can’t imagine the extreme lows and highs until you’ve experienced them. Very beautifully shot, acted, and viscerally real.
Music videos like this are truly an art. I love this.
I really think I am going to use this in my college class to showcase the power of video editing + music. This is a masterpiece!
I've watched this video 20+ times in the last 2 days & each time there's something new to notice. This time it was realising why he's ringing out his t-shirt at the start 😢
The lost art of music videos is needed for the very reason that is this masterpiece. We all take our own subjective message or meaning from a song, but a real, powerful video like this conveys so much about the thoughts behind the words & the notes. It helps reach that extra realm of potential of connecting deeper from band to fan, no matter where in the world. Their heavy songs hit in every way imaginable live, but some of their songs driven by the suffering that comes with feeling are so emotionally profound that they cry out for an alternatively artistic way to portray their story such as this.
What a song, what a video, absolutely beautiful #youarewe
Krishnamurti's words speak deep in this one. While She Sleeps are on their philosopher arc now.
The most potent emotional music video released to date. tears roll down my face because i can confidently and regrettably say I've suffered this lesson. incredible that you guys were able to put it into lyrics. thank you.
The guitar playing is SO GOOD that you can hear explicit irony in the expression of the notes and the timing. A master class on motif building.
Greatest band. Perfect song. Very good actors and director. Thanks
I don't know what just happened to me but I've never experienced how I feel right now. All in a good way too. Incredible video for a beautiful song. Thank you!
the music. the video. it's pure perfection. every single member in this band is a true artist. you are so inspiring. I love you while she sleeps 💌
This genuinely changed how i look at music and art so drastically with this video it's surreal. They really worked some magic on this one.
Speaking from someone who's lost a child in the late stages of pregnancy, I can say it's one of the hardest things to come back from. Not many people do. It's taken my wife and I almost a year and a half to get back to "normal." I can only understand so much not being the one who physically went through it, but the pain runs deep. Be there for them even if sometimes you're the one that has to absorb a bit of that pain. Hold them closely and know its neither of your fault. If you dont hold each other up, then one of you could drown in the sorrow. Live for each other and the future. Go through the process as long as it takes. It won't be easy , but you won't be alone.. There's always a brighter tomorrow ahead after the darkness.
I am sorry for your loss. How i got here... the darkness always comes back and i would like to thank everyone for that
@JosephJames-oe4jq thank you. After the majority of a year of recovering, I'm really happy to say my wife and I are expecting again. She's only 10 weeks and it's very early but I just want you to know. There's always a light at the end of the darkness, you just have to be strong and patient.
@@Anderson_the_NomaD thats... wonderful. Congratulations
@Anderson_the_NomaD We got sent home on the day off the expected delivery and were asked to come back in 8 days or if anything happens.
4 days later we woke up with there being no movements at all.
One rushing later and a bunch of time to convince the dr's to even let us stay and start the process with medicine..
16 hours of her drinking medicine shots to start it, then 17 hours of labour..
My little girl was stuck halfway and the doctors did nothing. After her vitals had been terrible for 2 hours they decided on a blood test from her head.
Her lactic acid levels were extremely high.
Now they decide to do a c-section.
It was too late. I stood and watched in silence as over 12 different doctors tried saving my daughter's life with CPR and adrenaline shots. 48 minutes later i held her for the first time but she didn't make it
@@Anderson_the_NomaDI wish you all the luck in the world. Life will strike us down and we will break hundreds of times.
But keep getting up, that's all we can do
Honestly, best track I’ve heard from this band is a very long time. Used to be a die hard from the beginning but last couple albums haven’t resonated with me. This tune feels special.
A die hard is someone who likes something and basically has to try to hate that tjing not to enjoy it.
You could just say "I really liked this band's earlier stuff, I haven't enjoyed them recently".
Instead you have to try and pat yourself on the back for enjoying a song.
Half of every band's "fans" fucking suck. Derive whatever meaning you want from that.
@@nolankuffner3573 Nolan, get some mates lad. This songs sick, special I even said. I followed the band sing the north stands for nothing days, but over time interest peaks and dwindles with bands. Sausage.
@@nolankuffner3573chill man lol it’s cool for people to fall in and out of love with a band. I agree the last couple of albums weren’t there for me. Are they bad? Not at all! Just weren’t for me and that’s okay. I’ve been listening since the north stands for nothing days.
Let the man express himself lol
Hope you’re in a better mood now Nolan
@nolankuffner3573
Fancy going for a pint sometime?
It is incredible the meaning that the song takes with the short..
huge.
i knew it. but..
this love like wounds on heart, will never fade away, will always make you remember about that time. that time where you was happy. and with her.
huge. so huge, i can't describe it. thank you.
the emotional feelings this drew out of me was visceral
That went way harder than I thought it would. Incredible job.
