Saturn was the first song by Sleeping At Last I ever heard. When I stumbled on it randomly a few years ago, I didn't know what a treasure I'd discovered, but by the end of the song I was in tears. SAL is basically the soundtrack to my life now. Each song is nothing short of a masterpiece, there's such care and attention to the minutest details. It amazes me how Ryan can put the perfect words to things I've always felt but could never express. He takes humanity's deepest soul cries and weaves them into a few lines of lyrics. His music invents new feelings in me. The only way I can describe it is that it gives me memories of things that never happened and makes me miss what I've never had.
Exactly 😭😭 so beautifully said, thank you!! It was also the first song I'd heard of Ryan's, and it's remained me favorite, though I love many others. Thank you for phrasing it so perfectly, I loved reading your comment
"How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist"...pure magic. Honored to share the ride with you all as I battle cancer again. This song IS the beauty of existence. Love one another bravely.❤️
A friend of mine used to sing me this song...and now that she's gone, I'll continue to listen to this. For it is not only just a song, but also a remembrance of our time together...
This is the first song I heard after my grandmother died from alzheimers. I was very close to her. Probably closer to her than my own mother. And I'm also a competitive dancer. When we were getting our solos I was told "Averie, your solo will be called Saturn." And I just started balling right then and there. The first time I performed it, I actually started crying, but I kept going and ended up getting first place overall. And every time I had performed it I got in the top 3. I feel like my grandmother was with me every single time I did it. And I'm not saying this for anyones sympathy, nor do I wish for your sorrow. I just thought I would share this story because my emotional connection to this song is very strong for this reason. Thank you for reading, stranger from TH-cam, I really appreciate more than you think I do.
The word is 'saudade'. Quick googling just defines it as a feeling of lost but a little more ellaborate definition will say that: a feeling and melancholy and sadness of lost but also of appreciation and gratitude to have felt it, to be alive to have felt it, the gift.
It's sadness, but it's hope. It's suffering, but it's peace. It's longing, but it's contentment. It's grieving, but it's acceptance. It's heartache, but it's mending. This song can only be described as indescribable. The thoughts and feelings it incites in me are so contradictory, that I never quite understand my emotions afterwards. I think it's truly powerful that a song can do that.
i have always said that your songs saved me but i saw a video that said "you need to give yourself more credit, the songs didnt save you, you saved yourself." so, thank you for giving me a nice soundtrack for my journey.
It’s So soul touching that we live the same planet and Thus our souls are different and unique , we have different journeys, pain , lifestyles, parents , hardships to get to this point bless you all you made it when people doubted you but have a marvelous Time of the rest of you’re life with time ❤️🔥
When everything fades away. When everything becomes night. Some people will still be playing this song and watch the stars shine. And the universe unfolding itself in the form of a song. Thankyou Ryan 🪐
This song is what home should feel like. Home being your trusty room, your family's warmth, your lover's arms, your friend's laugh, your children's smile, your preferred book, your favourite place, your purest and most cherished memory. This song describes all of the best things you could possibly have.
You taught me the courage of stars before you left How light carries on endlessly, even after death With shortness of breath You explained the infinite And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes With shortness of breath I'll try to explain the infinite How rare and beautiful it is to even exist With shortness of breath I'll try to explain the infinite And how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist
I lost my grandmother this past Valentine's Day. She lived in Europe so I couldn't be there for the funeral and to say a proper goodbye. Over the last several years she had been living with dementia and so when I visited I would see her fade more each time. She could no longer recognize me, but instead kept looking for the "little me" from when I was 4 or so. It broke my heart. And despite her passing hitting me so hard, a small part of me is relieved to know she's not hurting anymore. She's at peace. I know this song off by heart. When I saw this upload I decided to give it a new listen and ended up bawling. I can't help but think of her. How true these words are. She lived through so much. She had to grow up during WW2, lived under the USSR, lived a hard life on a farm and worked tirelessly to provide for her family. I learned so much from her and what it means to find strength and beauty in life. If only I had paid more attention. Maybe I should've written her words down- but you think there's always more time. As a kid you think there's all the time in the world. But then the person you love begins to fade away before your eyes and you come to the harsh reality that the one thing we never have enough of IS time. I'm so happy for all the moments I spent with her. I'm so happy and proud to be her granddaughter. If I go on to be a quarter of the woman she was I will have lived a fulfilling life. She was such a beautiful woman. I only wish I could've had more time. At least this song brings a small bit of comfort. "Light carries on endlessly, even after death". She may be gone, but her legacy lives on, her love lives on, her kindness lives on. And I will try my hardest to carry on that light to my grandchildren someday far away. Thank goodness for songs like these. They touch the heart and soul in a way few songs do.
Your story is such beautiful as your love for your grandma. I feel touching cuz I lost my mother due to her lately-diagnostic cancer. I've stayed far from her for pursuing bachelor and was not able to beside her at the moment she passed away. But she left me so many treasures, legacies that nothing in the future can compare. Thank you for giving me a life, to be existent and be able to enjoy beautiful moments on this planet...
This is one of those songs that invoke such deep indescribable feelings within you. This is one of those songs that follow you anywhere you go. This is one of those songs that make you see inside yourself and question everything.
This song is just beautiful it's very hard to explain. I lost my father last Valentine's day. So I played this at his funeral because I remember letting him listen to this and telling him it's the song that kept me alive whenever I'm about to lose myself
Before my best friend passed away unexpectedly she kept telling me, "my Saturn is rising." When I saw this song title I felt her instantly within me. As I sat in the feels crying, I realized how infinite her love is, then the crescendo, by this point you had me in tears.... Then you sang.... You sang her song as I thanked the Universe for her infinite love and wisdom. Thank you for delivering her message, on the wings of an angel. I will never forget the first moment I heard this song.
@@Sophie-ch2gp I am blessed, thank you! It's been several years and I've healed in profound ways with her guidance. Heading this song was a blessed and beautiful moment. You have nothing to apologize for. Thank you for the sentiment, though. 💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💓🪐🎯
There's something so intangibly beautiful about this song that, if I were to ever try to explain it, I would always be at a loss for words. That feeling...Gosh, I love it, and I hope everyone cherishes their own special feeling too! 💛
“And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
I've never heard anything so deep, so real. The way they managed to express feelings, which could not be expressed in words, in a song that is deeply and gracefully touching and beautiful. It is stunning and indescribable!
I always cry whenever I hear this song. Even when I hear the first few seconds of the melody way before the lyrics begin, I start tearing up. And I have heard my fair share of sad songs and melancholic music the past decade, yet this is the only one that makes my eyes water uncontrollably.
A song that takes me to the deepest layer of my psyche. Where I weep, laugh, smile... basically I express all the emotions, I have ever felt and beyond. How can I thank you Sleeping at Last? My heart is flowing with the love you have shown me with this masterpiece.
I still remember the first time I listened to this song back in 2016 when I was (still am) trying to deal with grief. This is more than just a song for me. It saved my life in so many ways. It's like my own personal therapy
Living as a human can be so damn hard sometimes...but moments like this, watching this video, listening to this song, reminds me of the indescribable beauty that can only be created by a human soul. I used to listen to this song as I walked the streets commuting during my university experience. Sometimes, this song would come on in my playlist - at the perfect moment. One of those moments would be walking at dusk, the city lit up by the building lights, and a cold, magical chill in the air from the changing weather. I love this song in the purest of ways.
This song brings me to so many places. It reminds me of my parents. I miss them so much. whenever I listen to this, I wonder where they are right now? Sometimes I can feel them.. it's like meeting them again someday. I have no words to describe that feeling. Sometimes it scares me when I think about the existence of life and the universe. where's the end? Is death just another begining? If it is, how many lives have we lived? Is this a never ending circle? There's beauty in life but being stuck in this feels like a never ending suffering.
I believe in the reincarnation theory, that, at some point in time, your spirit - but not mind and body - are sent back down to Earth to relive another life as someone or something else. I think the reason for this is because the universe is trying to teach us something new in each life we live, to learn and grow differently, and to experience emotions that we didn't get to before. You cannot simply do everything there is in your lifetime, so being able to do what you haven't done in another time period gives you that closure and chance, even if when you die, you'll never know that you did any of that since your mind, memories and body are given up and sacrificed so your spirit can continue on. We all are eternal beings, but we have an end to that eternity when we decide it's ready to go and start anew - so I don't believe it's a neverending cycle of suffering, rather it's a journey to understand the meaning of the Universe that we reside in, and until we find that out, we'll continue the cycle of life forever.
True beauty of life is found only in Jesus. What he came to do for man on the cross was to make a way for us, that through him, we will be saved and through him we can find true purpose in this world and eternal life in heaven. In Christ, death is just the beginning of eternity in heaven. And you don't have to be afraid, because you would know through faith in him, who has conquered sin and death, through which the world and and all creation was made, that after life on earth, you can have everlasting life in heaven with him. The creator of the universe. It is a beautiful thing. Believe in Jesus, allow him to show you what life really is and what lies ahead of you. He loves you🙂 This is actually what this song is reflecting to me, the beauty of the life Christ came to give to man.
@@jesusislord5543 Amen. I feel much the same. "The universe was made just to be seen by my eyes" reminds me so much of how God created everything. He made it all, and he made us. We are living testament of his love and mercy. He loves and he is here and he will never leave, Sleeping at last reminds me of that during the hard times.
This song is my life. My joy. My sorrow. My imbiguity. It helped me when music was failing me. It helped me when i needed nothing but sound. It helped me in 2017 when my mother passed. If i didn't find it i dont know where I'd be...
"You taught me the courage of stars before you left" I was on tears after hearing this part, for any reason linked it to Jesus's preachings, and suddenly I felt so vulnerable and grateful for him, he gave us so many teachings before leaving us.
i've been so depressed lately. yesterday i was thinking, you know it's sad, but i don't see myself being here for very long. but music like this… when i listen to it… it feels like, for a moment, everything's going to be okay. saturn reminds me why life is beautiful. i always come back to this song when i forget what i'm doing here. thank you sleeping at last
this song feels so much like a prayer to me, and speaking the lyrics out loud has brought me so much comfort and reassurance for a while. thank you ryan
I have no words to explain how this song has impacted my spirit. I am so grateful that I found it when I did. I listen to it on repeat on the days that are the hardest to bear. Thank you. 💔💖
Every time on a clear dark night, I go outside for a walk and just look up at the stars, just thinking about the immense scale of the universe, and what a wonder life is and how special it is to exist. This song captivates that perfectly! Just came back from my walk on this clear dark night and now listening to this song. Just makes me feel grateful!
When I lost my dad a few years back, this was the song I came back to almost every day. When I couldn't grieve.. this is just raw emotion. Thank you for this.
0 dislikes- that’s right! It’s physically impossible to dislike this. I will never get tired of this song. It is overflowing with such raw beauty and pure sensitivity. Wait there's already 1 dislike! It was a mistake, I know it.
This song hit me hard, I fell in love instantly. Sometimes you just need to take a moment away from the struggles and find yourself again. I pray that those who feel like they are drowning can find this song and.... breathe again ❤🙏
Brings me back to the first time I heard those amazing string swells all those years ago. Thank you for continuing this journey of exploration. Can’t wait for Atlas III!
I found this song 3 years ago. And I fell in love with it the moment it started. This song is so beautiful and is a part of my life. I would be a total different person now if I hadn't found this song 3 years ago. This music this melody gives me a feeling that I can't explain. I hope, whoever reads this, that you become fine and that your dreams become true. I love you. And I'm sure that you can love yourself too. By the way this video is perfect for this song
This song remains my favourite song till date. It's special not just because it's so beautiful but also because this song introduced me to Sleeping At Last. ❤️
i stumbled across this song at one of my lowest points (before chemotherapy) n that night, i couldn't stop replaying this song because it made me feel something hopeful, despite the pessimistic ending of this song.. it felt cathartic. and now, i have emerged from that journey victorious (cross my fingers that there'd be no relapses in the future), and this still remains as one of my favourite tunes
THANK YOU this is beautiful!!!!!! Lyrics You taught me the courage of stars before you left How light carries on endlessly, even after death With shortness of breath You explained the infinite And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes With shortness of breath I'll try to explain the infinite And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist With shortness of breath I'll try to explain the infinite And how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist
this song always makes me think of my grandfather who passed away...i found this song two, maybe three years after his passing and i’ve been hooked on sleeping at last ever since...i started listening in my freshman year and here i am, seven weeks out from graduating, still falling asleep to this band every single night. you’ve helped me through many hard times and deaths of many loved ones - i cannot begin to thank you enough for your impact in my life. words cannot express how much everything you write means to me.
Amo essa musica ela significa muito pra mim toda vez q escuto ela eu lembro do meu papai que está com Deus😭 toda vez q escuto essa musica eu choro pois passa um filme em minha mente...❤
Eu perdi meu pai recentemente, consigo imaginar a dor que você sente. Ele era uma das pessoas que mais me motivava; eu amo astronomia e costumava falar sobre o universo com ele. Essa música agora me lembra de todos os momentos que passei com ele e praticamente todas as vezes que escuto termino com lágrimas nos olhos. Forças para a gente :( luto não é nada fácil
"you taught me the courage of the stars before you left.." this song is so beautiful! I listen to it all the time and I never get tired of listening to it.
This song overwhelms me, amazes me and envelopes me. Its just phenomenal in its ability to conjure images and emotions with such care and nuance. Feels both fragile and strong at the same time. Its a journey that I'm glad I could experience.
one day watching grays anatomy i heard his music, so something inside me changed! since then I have never stopped listening! saturn is my favorite song! helped me to face cancer, gave me strength to continue! I love you guys so much! I'm a Brazilian 🇧🇷 who really wanted to be able to look closely and say THANK YOU SLEEPING AT LAST!
One moonless night I was lying in a meadow at 9,000 feet staring up at the sky. I came to tears as I suddenly remembered this song. Here is an excerpt from my diary... "As I looked up, I was completely engulfed by the scene laid before me. A vast canopy of countless stars so dense, so bright with the Milky Way arcing across the sky like a river of light. The power of it all was so deafening for my senses. Every inch of sky packed with billions of points of light all radiating down to my eyes. And here I was, right in the middle of it..so infinitesimally small. Why? Then I remembered a lyric from a song I heard.. “we were made to see the universe through our eyes” and it completely overwhelmed me to tears as I sat there relaying it all back to the universe through my soul." It's interesting that I remembered the juxtaposition of that lyric different. It's keeping with my belief in my higher self as energy in the universe and my physical body was made to give form to this energy that I am always connected to and we are all connected together with. So in that sense, the universe did make us to not only to be able to feel alive but also to be able to see itself through our eyes. And here I was sitting before all this grandeur of granite peaks and endless light and relaying all back. ..Peace..
I found this song. I used to sit down with my dad on his back porch. Listening to music I normally found to hear how it spoke to us individually. A few months later he passed away. We had plans for that next day to take him out of down on a much needed vacation. Life had other plans. Spoke to him the night before, we had a disagreement but in the end I remember him saying "Just know I love you." and I said "I love you too, dad." I would have never thought a few hours later I'd get a call to wake me up. This isn't to sound sad, or trying to get attention. Just makes me smile knowing this was the last song I listened to with him. I played it for him after he went to sleep. I promised him I will travel to the end of the universe until I find him again to hold him one last time.
Here it is. _Saturn_ could be the sound of the life, of the soul of the people who keep asking themselves about the sense of the existence, of the people who desperately beg to have their loved ones back again, of the ones who watch the starry sky, just thinking, reflecting, whispering the thoughts of their soul, mind, heart... _Saturn_ will always be everything that I have inside...
I found this song some time after my best friend died and I connected to the song and the lyrics on this level I can not describe. It helped me rebuild myself and heal. There were days when the only thing I listened to was this and to this day I can not fall out of love with it. The Space album made me love the outer space and now I'm interested in Astrophysics. I have my own silver Saturn necklace to remind me of the friend I loved and lost. Thank you for this beautiful story. I am forever grateful for the medicine you gave me for my wounds.

It's grieving, but it's acceptance.
It's heartache, but it's mending.

You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes

You sang her song as I thanked the Universe for her infinite love and wisdom. Thank you for delivering her message, on the wings of an angel. I will never forget the first moment I heard this song.
So sorry for your loss, hope you're ok ❤️
@@Sophie-ch2gp I am blessed, thank you! It's been several years and I've healed in profound ways with her guidance. Heading this song was a blessed and beautiful moment. You have nothing to apologize for. Thank you for the sentiment, though. 💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💓🪐🎯
The visuals, the music and the lyrics combined make me feel like I'm gently absorbing all of the energy of the universe
I will never be able to express how this song makes me feel
There's something so intangibly beautiful about this song that, if I were to ever try to explain it, I would always be at a loss for words. That feeling...Gosh, I love it, and I hope everyone cherishes their own special feeling too! 💛
I loved your comment. ❤ I think so too ❣🤗
“And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
i found sleeping at last with this song. this one is so beautiful
Everyone in this world needs to hear this song at least once to know the beauty of it
I've never heard anything so deep, so real. The way they managed to express feelings, which could not be expressed in words, in a song that is deeply and gracefully touching and beautiful. It is stunning and indescribable!
Even after decades from now, this masterpiece will always be remembered
this isn't a song. it's an experience of a lifetime
I always cry whenever I hear this song. Even when I hear the first few seconds of the melody way before the lyrics begin, I start tearing up. And I have heard my fair share of sad songs and melancholic music the past decade, yet this is the only one that makes my eyes water uncontrollably.
This is how you know it's a good song
A song that takes me to the deepest layer of my psyche. Where I weep, laugh, smile... basically I express all the emotions, I have ever felt and beyond.
How can I thank you Sleeping at Last? My heart is flowing with the love you have shown me with this masterpiece.
I still remember the first time I listened to this song back in 2016 when I was (still am) trying to deal with grief. This is more than just a song for me. It saved my life in so many ways. It's like my own personal therapy
When I die, they better play this at my funeral.
They played another song of theirs at my best friend's funeral 😔 it was a great choice but gut wrenching
There was someone from Australia that had a cover of this song played at the funeral of his father.
There are 26 letters, and no word can describe the beauty of this song
This song is unexplainable
This song sounds like emotions untold, words unsaid, and tears that vanished into sunset.
Living as a human can be so damn hard sometimes...but moments like this, watching this video, listening to this song, reminds me of the indescribable beauty that can only be created by a human soul. I used to listen to this song as I walked the streets commuting during my university experience. Sometimes, this song would come on in my playlist - at the perfect moment. One of those moments would be walking at dusk, the city lit up by the building lights, and a cold, magical chill in the air from the changing weather. I love this song in the purest of ways.
This song brings me to so many places.
It reminds me of my parents. I miss them so much. whenever I listen to this, I wonder where they are right now? Sometimes I can feel them.. it's like meeting them again someday. I have no words to describe that feeling.
Sometimes it scares me when I think about the existence of life and the universe. where's the end? Is death just another begining? If it is, how many lives have we lived? Is this a never ending circle? There's beauty in life but being stuck in this feels like a never ending suffering.
I believe in the reincarnation theory, that, at some point in time, your spirit - but not mind and body - are sent back down to Earth to relive another life as someone or something else. I think the reason for this is because the universe is trying to teach us something new in each life we live, to learn and grow differently, and to experience emotions that we didn't get to before. You cannot simply do everything there is in your lifetime, so being able to do what you haven't done in another time period gives you that closure and chance, even if when you die, you'll never know that you did any of that since your mind, memories and body are given up and sacrificed so your spirit can continue on. We all are eternal beings, but we have an end to that eternity when we decide it's ready to go and start anew - so I don't believe it's a neverending cycle of suffering, rather it's a journey to understand the meaning of the Universe that we reside in, and until we find that out, we'll continue the cycle of life forever.
True beauty of life is found only in Jesus. What he came to do for man on the cross was to make a way for us, that through him, we will be saved and through him we can find true purpose in this world and eternal life in heaven. In Christ, death is just the beginning of eternity in heaven. And you don't have to be afraid, because you would know through faith in him, who has conquered sin and death, through which the world and and all creation was made, that after life on earth, you can have everlasting life in heaven with him. The creator of the universe. It is a beautiful thing. Believe in Jesus, allow him to show you what life really is and what lies ahead of you. He loves you🙂
This is actually what this song is reflecting to me, the beauty of the life Christ came to give to man.
@@jesusislord5543 Amen. I feel much the same. "The universe was made just to be seen by my eyes" reminds me so much of how God created everything. He made it all, and he made us. We are living testament of his love and mercy. He loves and he is here and he will never leave, Sleeping at last reminds me of that during the hard times.
@@Elise005 yes God bless you ♥️
This song is my life. My joy. My sorrow. My imbiguity. It helped me when music was failing me. It helped me when i needed nothing but sound. It helped me in 2017 when my mother passed. If i didn't find it i dont know where I'd be...
"You taught me the courage of stars before you left" I was on tears after hearing this part, for any reason linked it to Jesus's preachings, and suddenly I felt so vulnerable and grateful for him, he gave us so many teachings before leaving us.
i've been so depressed lately. yesterday i was thinking, you know it's sad, but i don't see myself being here for very long. but music like this… when i listen to it… it feels like, for a moment, everything's going to be okay. saturn reminds me why life is beautiful. i always come back to this song when i forget what i'm doing here. thank you sleeping at last
I hope you’re feeling better these days. This song found me at the right time as well.
Never give up! ❤
It’s not just a song, it’s a whole experience, you’re lucky if you’re here for the first time
If there is a true example of perfection, this song is exactly that.
Four years later, and it still packs a punch. The good, emotional kind.
this song feels so much like a prayer to me, and speaking the lyrics out loud has brought me so much comfort and reassurance for a while. thank you ryan
"O amor é a única coisa que transcede o tempo e o espaço"❤️🪐
It feels like I'm missing something I can't explain. This is therapeutic and sad at the same time
This song is what true love is. If ever I feel the need to feel loved I come straight here, thank you.
This song is a MASTERPIECE
omg this is literally my favorite song! the meaning and all is just so deep
I have no words to explain how this song has impacted my spirit. I am so grateful that I found it when I did. I listen to it on repeat on the days that are the hardest to bear. Thank you. 💔💖
I don't think think my life has been the same after listening to this song. The day I found it, I found myself again.
Essa música sempre me passa uma sensação que eu não sinto com nenhuma outra. Ela tem uma importância imensa pra mim. Obrigada por essa obra de arte ❤️
Amor infinito por essa canção. Letra, melodia, a voz do O'Neal, o vídeo... tudo fala com minha essência. ♥️
Even after 4 years, this is still the most beautiful song in human history! ♥
Every time on a clear dark night, I go outside for a walk and just look up at the stars, just thinking about the immense scale of the universe, and what a wonder life is and how special it is to exist. This song captivates that perfectly! Just came back from my walk on this clear dark night and now listening to this song. Just makes me feel grateful!
This masterpiece gives me a new understanding to things everytime I listen to it.
When I lost my dad a few years back, this was the song I came back to almost every day. When I couldn't grieve.. this is just raw emotion. Thank you for this.
The moment you play this song, it brings you to other dimension like you're having your own universe. ♥
This is forever my bestsong..i cant express how beautiful this song and videos is....this is beyond infinity ..how rare and beautiful such song exists
0 dislikes- that’s right! It’s physically impossible to dislike this.
I will never get tired of this song. It is overflowing with such raw beauty and pure sensitivity.
Wait there's already 1 dislike! It was a mistake, I know it.
when I tell you this song makes me feel something I can’t describe, i truly mean it
This song hit me hard, I fell in love instantly. Sometimes you just need to take a moment away from the struggles and find yourself again. I pray that those who feel like they are drowning can find this song and.... breathe again ❤🙏
Brings me back to the first time I heard those amazing string swells all those years ago. Thank you for continuing this journey of exploration. Can’t wait for Atlas III!
It's hard to believe such an emotionally powerful song could exist which helps u connect with the distant objects and memories
I love it
This song is beyond this universe
I found this song 3 years ago. And I fell in love with it the moment it started. This song is so beautiful and is a part of my life. I would be a total different person now if I hadn't found this song 3 years ago. This music this melody gives me a feeling that I can't explain.
I hope, whoever reads this, that you become fine and that your dreams become true. I love you. And I'm sure that you can love yourself too.
By the way this video is perfect for this song
This song remains my favourite song till date. It's special not just because it's so beautiful but also because this song introduced me to Sleeping At Last. ❤️
"You taught me the courage, of stars, before you left..."
Mom... I miss you so much.
i stumbled across this song at one of my lowest points (before chemotherapy) n that night, i couldn't stop replaying this song because it made me feel something hopeful, despite the pessimistic ending of this song.. it felt cathartic. and now, i have emerged from that journey victorious (cross my fingers that there'd be no relapses in the future), and this still remains as one of my favourite tunes
THANK YOU this is beautiful!!!!!!
Lyrics
You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
With shortness of breath
I'll try to explain the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
With shortness of breath
I'll try to explain the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist
this song always makes me think of my grandfather who passed away...i found this song two, maybe three years after his passing and i’ve been hooked on sleeping at last ever since...i started listening in my freshman year and here i am, seven weeks out from graduating, still falling asleep to this band every single night. you’ve helped me through many hard times and deaths of many loved ones - i cannot begin to thank you enough for your impact in my life. words cannot express how much everything you write means to me.
Amo essa musica ela significa muito pra mim toda vez q escuto ela eu lembro do meu papai que está com Deus😭 toda vez q escuto essa musica eu choro pois passa um filme em minha mente...❤
Eu te entendo, também choro...😔❤
Meus pêsames ❤️
@@edsonvitor1895 obg😔❤
Eu perdi meu pai recentemente, consigo imaginar a dor que você sente. Ele era uma das pessoas que mais me motivava; eu amo astronomia e costumava falar sobre o universo com ele. Essa música agora me lembra de todos os momentos que passei com ele e praticamente todas as vezes que escuto termino com lágrimas nos olhos. Forças para a gente :( luto não é nada fácil
"you taught me the courage of the stars before you left.." this song is so beautiful! I listen to it all the time and I never get tired of listening to it.
One of the top 5 songs of all time for me.
meu Deus, essa música tem um significado mt grande pra mim, obrigada Jesus por tudo, obrigada ester, rebek e Aline, você sao meu pontinho de luz ❤️🪐✨
É uma musica perfeita em todos os detalhes
@@lucasvitordossantos2465 Concordo
eu te amo lani, Saturn resume muito o que eu sinto em relação a nossa amizade baseada no amor de Jesus 💕💕💕te amo pra sempre pontinho de luz
E eu pensando que era o único br que conhecia essa obra prima kk
This song will go down as one of the most beautiful songs of our generation.
This song overwhelms me, amazes me and envelopes me. Its just phenomenal in its ability to conjure images and emotions with such care and nuance. Feels both fragile and strong at the same time. Its a journey that I'm glad I could experience.
one day watching grays anatomy i heard his music, so something inside me changed!
since then I have never stopped listening!
saturn is my favorite song!
helped me to face cancer, gave me strength to continue!
I love you guys so much!
I'm a Brazilian 🇧🇷 who really wanted to be able to look closely and say THANK YOU SLEEPING AT LAST!
always when i hear this song, my soul is finally in peace and i start to cry. it's incredibly amazing, like the calling of someone i always waited for
These are one of the few things in the world that can be called art.
One moonless night I was lying in a meadow at 9,000 feet staring up at the sky. I came to tears as I suddenly remembered this song. Here is an excerpt from my diary...
"As I looked up, I was completely engulfed by the scene laid before me. A vast canopy of countless stars so dense, so bright with the Milky Way arcing across the sky like a river of light. The power of it all was so deafening for my senses. Every inch of sky packed with billions of points of light all radiating down to my eyes. And here I was, right in the middle of it..so infinitesimally small. Why? Then I remembered a lyric from a song I heard.. “we were made to see the universe through our eyes” and it completely overwhelmed me to tears as I sat there relaying it all back to the universe through my soul."
It's interesting that I remembered the juxtaposition of that lyric different. It's keeping with my belief in my higher self as energy in the universe and my physical body was made to give form to this energy that I am always connected to and we are all connected together with. So in that sense, the universe did make us to not only to be able to feel alive but also to be able to see itself through our eyes. And here I was sitting before all this grandeur of granite peaks and endless light and relaying all back. ..Peace..
9 years later, this song is just as beautiful to me as the first time i was blessed with hearing it.
Yo you're one of most underrated artist I've ever seen. "Bad Blood" and a lot of yours brings tears in my eyes everytime..
This song taught me "how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist".💙💚
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever listen ❤️
I found this song. I used to sit down with my dad on his back porch. Listening to music I normally found to hear how it spoke to us individually. A few months later he passed away. We had plans for that next day to take him out of down on a much needed vacation. Life had other plans. Spoke to him the night before, we had a disagreement but in the end I remember him saying "Just know I love you." and I said "I love you too, dad." I would have never thought a few hours later I'd get a call to wake me up. This isn't to sound sad, or trying to get attention. Just makes me smile knowing this was the last song I listened to with him. I played it for him after he went to sleep. I promised him I will travel to the end of the universe until I find him again to hold him one last time.
The only thing the original MV was missing. Thank you
Here it is.
_Saturn_ could be the sound of the life, of the soul of the people who keep asking themselves about the sense of the existence, of the people who desperately beg to have their loved ones back again, of the ones who watch the starry sky, just thinking, reflecting, whispering the thoughts of their soul, mind, heart...
_Saturn_ will always be everything that I have inside...
EU AMO ESSA MÚSICA!
Obrigada Sleeping At Last por compartilhar essa maravilha conosco.
How rare and beautiful it is to truly exist
I found this song some time after my best friend died and I connected to the song and the lyrics on this level I can not describe. It helped me rebuild myself and heal. There were days when the only thing I listened to was this and to this day I can not fall out of love with it.
The Space album made me love the outer space and now I'm interested in Astrophysics. I have my own silver Saturn necklace to remind me of the friend I loved and lost.
Thank you for this beautiful story. I am forever grateful for the medicine you gave me for my wounds.
