Hey Y'all. Some of you might be wondering why there was no use of any kind of effects. Best answer I can give you, is they weren't needed. This song struck me in a really deep way, and I feel like taking away from the natural impact would've tarnished its authenticity. This one is genuinely one I won't revisit for obvious reasons. Not out of distaste or any dislike of the song, but just the place it brings me back to. It's just to heavy for me. But I hope you still enjoy the video. Much Love and Worship, Rage.
Hi Ben, this might be one of the most important songs and videos in Sleep Token’s entire discography. This is Vessel at his most vulnerable, even without the mask if it is him in the video. It might explain the use of a vocoder on his vocals. I thought it was brave of you to re-listen again immediately and am glad you stopped when you felt uncomfortable doing so. I sometimes skip it when listening to TPWBYT and I have been skipping Are You Really Okay? from TMBTE too. It’s worth noting that Vessel has performed Fall for Me live and there are videos on TH-cam. The remaining five tracks from TPWBYT continue on this theme (with perhaps the exception of Telomeres), so I’d recommend listening and reacting to them when you feel you are mentally ready. They all just have visualisers though. Sometimes music that comes from such a dark place can be strangely comforting, knowing you’re not feeling these things alone. Sending you my support. You got this. W O R S H I P
It's genuinely okay to not be able to listen to this one - it's not only one of Vessel's most vulnerable tracks, but also one of his most poignant. I think songs like this are the reason people connect to their music so much; it's so real that it hurts. Props for knowing what's best for yourself. If you shouldn't listen to it again, don't. Worship, friend.
That is Vessel He never shows his full face but it is him And this song is so heartbreaking haunting and vulnerable Vessel truly puts his heart and soul into his art/music It resonates with us This is a sacred gift to all who struggle It's why I will forever Worship 🖤🖤
I am so proud of you for being so honest with us, we all love you for it and I am sure that most of us understand how you feel,( I know I do) and I think that is why so many of us connect so hard with Vessel and his music because he obviously has been through it all as well. He is able to so beautifully put into words the pain we all feel, he is helping us process our trauma in a safe way together.
I think I know why he says he is no healer, nothing special. It’s because he’s as broken as we all are and he just puts it in a way that makes us talk about it
Fall For Me, The Way That You Were, and DYWTYLM are all cut from the same idea; that through our deepest pain, we learn to love ourselves. That through our deepest tragedies, we can find the beauty in who we are. Truly one of the most epic Sleep Token songs, in every way. The vocoder (octave) effect is used on his voice because anyone, of any vocal range can sing along with it, and be in key with one of the layers. Because this song is meant for all of us to sing together. Thank you for being real, and going on this amazing journey with all of us.
Its awesome to share in your take of Sleep Token, bro. ST makes it ok to break. I cant wait until you get to Missing Limbs. Maybe you can look up the speech that Vessel gives to his fans. Strikes the heart everytime I hear it. Mad love, bro! Worship.
Honestly, thank you for your vulnerability. I think in one way or another we all have that ONE song that you just can't do (mine is High Water which I am excited for down the road!) and I think it's important to allow yourself to feel what he's trying to convey in an honest way. Worship brother 🙏
You missed the “I am… no god” text. It feels to me like Vessel’s really struggling with the idea that people are loving and worshipping him, but in truth, he’s just another guy with his own insecurities.🖤
@@GioFireheart there are previous works and some of the his other works tells a story about his mom and family life. The first lyric says “I raised you in the dark “ Dark signs he says where I was raised there was no street lights. Both songs talk about the darkness and in AYRO he also says I tried to hold back the darkness
@@darcystcorner2580 oh I see! I thought there was some sort of official confirmation that I missed, but that’s a very interesting read! I’ll have to take a look at those songs again. Thanks for responding btw
@@darcystcorner2580 I also think it’s from his mom’s pov and part of that is the song has a completely different sound and reminds me more of 60s/70s guitar (think cat stevens)
The last year of my life has been the absolute hardest! This video breaks me every time! 😭😭😭 I feel all of this to my core and I hate that anyone else ever feels this way!
This is such a beautiful song but it really hits different when watching the video too. It’s definitely Vessel in it too. It really is a difficult watch especially when like you I have been through years and years of depression, self hatred, self doubt and suicidal thoughts albeit the latter not recently. I’m really sorry you are going through/have been through these kinds of feelings it isn’t a nice place to be in. I’m glad although you restarted the song, you also knew you had to take a break again. As much as we all love your reactions, and you know I do as I spam the hell out of your channel 😅 you and your mental health and well-being is paramount. Sending lots of love and gentle hugs across the pond 🖤
We're right there with you on this one it's a rough one. They really know how to send a message. It hurts but I love that they don't shy away from the messages that we sometimes need to hear for us to know we aren't alone in our feelings. 🖤
Hugs brother…. ❤️🌹 It’s powerful when music hits you. It’s something we have to let out, we all struggle, we have been down dark roads, life kicks us and we need to persevere. Glad you are still here, glad you were open and honest… much love dude!!
You had me trembling in my seat. Your pain was palpable. I can honestly imagine you not wanting to watch the video again and I hope you’re doing well now. Sleep Token always bring out the most raw emotions in people. I’ve cried several times listening to one of their songs.
They got a Song for so many situations in peoples lives, especially the sad ones. This song hit me so hard because when I saw the video and all the lines that appeared on the screen that where my believes back then and instead of Vessel I saw myself acting like he did and only higher powers or fate saved me from leaving the world like this. To all you out there in despair.....get help, DON'T DO THIS, you will regret it forever!🙏
I think the reason this band of talent touches me is because they make it clear that pain is universal, and suffering is also. And it's easy to drown in it. Knowing that is the case is truly heartbreaking. I'm sorry we all know, whether spoken or not.
Don't feel like your trapped doing these videos. If you need to go for a walk or stop during the video, just explain a little why and cut the video short. I'd rather have a truncated reaction, than to have you suffer needlessly. ST will heal us all eventually.
This is one of those songs that I used to skip, wasn't till your reaction that I really listened to the lyrics. I fell in love with DYWTYLM after I realized what the song was really about and now I'm listening to this a lot. As someone who's struggled with negative thoughts as well, it's 'reassuring' to know that Vessel gets it. Kinda like we're not alone in our struggles, gives me a feeling of solidarity with the ST community
Keep ya head up chief, this one is powerful but you might be able to find strength in knowing that you are not alone in your feelings. Love your reactions, ST is amazing and relates to all human emotions.
It's interesting, because a lot of us heard just the song before the video was released, and the video adds such a massive layer to it. For me, the song standalone is a separate entity from the song with the video. I just sat there in silence with my mouth open after. Also, I definitely also think it's Vessel. The feets match. 😅
This is a song that my soul had already written but wasn't ready to be released. This video is the raw and painful truth of the trauma I've bottled up and never coped with.
I'm sorry if I'm being redundant. But since this song hit you hard, cautiously listen to DYWTYLM. They're both a self-reflection. The latter is even more brutal. The message is, it's hard you love yourself. And heavily implied that you should anyway. I very very very much struggle with this. I'm downright fucking mean to myself. These songs are very important.

Yeah bro, this whole album is full of times where I think to my ex and it hurts but you gotta remember it makes you a better person.
Distraction, Descending Those 2 songs hit hard for me can’t wait for those reactions
🤜🤛

Worship, friend.
2:46 “OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE” is bone chilling live. Can’t wait for the next show
"If we must be submerged... let us be submerged..." "TOGETHER" It's pure and the message is wonderful.
That is Vessel
He never shows his full face but it is him
And this song is so heartbreaking haunting and vulnerable
Vessel truly puts his heart and soul into his art/music
It resonates with us
This is a sacred gift to all who struggle
It's why I will forever Worship
🖤🖤
Yep… I think that’s Vessel too…
Thanks for the pure reaction this song hurts my soul .
Sending you a virtual hug, Ben. I get it. 🖤

This is a hard video to watch because for so many it hits too close to home. Thank you for being so honest in your reaction, you're not alone.
I think I know why he says he is no healer, nothing special. It’s because he’s as broken as we all are and he just puts it in a way that makes us talk about it
In fact he drops his mask and hits his knees

It is Vessel in the video. You can't miss his height and his hands

The man in this video is vessel as well
If you know you know
Atlantic was about his failed suicide attempt and are you ok? was from his moms pov
Where did you see that “are you really ok” was from his mom’s pov?
@@GioFireheart there are previous works and some of the his other works tells a story about his mom and family life. The first lyric says “I raised you in the dark “

This song awakens something that no other can. Thank you for the real and raw reaction my man.
Anytime my guy

Just 18 seconds in. Shit, this better not be that kind of song that will make my eyes watery and make me go take a walk.
EDIT: Wow, thanks...
That IS Vessel
:)
Continue your journey, I will keep you in Worship🫶
That's a tough but amazing song

Worship.
We are here for you 100
The video connects with High water and Atlantic's lyrics a lot more than with Fall for me.
I'm sorry if I'm being redundant. But since this song hit you hard, cautiously listen to DYWTYLM. They're both a self-reflection. The latter is even more brutal. The message is, it's hard you love yourself. And heavily implied that you should anyway. I very very very much struggle with this. I'm downright fucking mean to myself.

MOTHER FUCKING WORSHIP
❤
I get the emotion from this one, but yeah most of the time i hit skip just on a musical basis.
this video makes me cry every single time. it's so beautiful and moving. thank you for taking the time to react to it.
❤
