What does it do for me? It allows me to be vulnerable, to feel things. I am normally very unemotional, but they put in me in a place let things in and out. In one of the live videos Vessel address the crowd via a audio script, there he speculated that "we are all here, because we have all....suffered" and it really peirces my armor.
You see, comments like this are why I spent sooo much time editing this video. That's fucking awesome! I'm really digging this band and the effect they have on people. I'm gonna have to do this again on another video soon! Thank you for sharing.
This band punched me right in the gut and made me stop and think about everything in my life. It opened up some old wounds i had pushed to the back of my mind and healed them in some way. Each song and each album is perfect for a different vibe and mood i an in.
EDIT: I've been listening to this song on repeat all day since editing and it just gets better and better!! I hope y'all enjoy this video, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for being here! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
as a diehard sleep token fan, seeing everyones comments flash on screen with THIS song in particular playing has me feeling so warm and fuzzy 🥰 they're incredible, they are my comfort band and i have found so much solace in both their music and the wonderful community around them. i can't wait to go on this journey with you. worship 🖤
also, even if only in your own time i HIGHLY recommend looking at some concert clips of theirs. they put on an incredible show and it's a big goal of mine to see them live someday. i live off concert clips for now lol. a fandom favorite is their performance of "The Summoning" at Red Rocks Amphitheater, May 2024. if you watch it you'll see why 😂
Thank you so much! The stars aligned on that one. The comments were just SO good on my last video I had to do something. I'm really proud of how the edit came out.
@@CasualReactions you should definitely be proud, it's so good! I love the community around this band, it is one of the most welcoming and kind groups of people I've come across in a long time, and seeing that highlighted is always a treat.
I just turned 40 and realized I'm facing the back half of my life and finding sleep token has given me this peace and tranquility that no other music has ever given to me.The music hits my soul like nothing else.I went to one of their concerts last summer and the vibe and connectivity between everyone in the room was the most out of theworld feeling.Thank you for going on this journey of sleep token and taking us with you..Worship 🙏
40 isn't old. Don't worry about turning 40. I refused to celebrate my 40th birthday but I'm 55 now and I'm still going to metal concerts with my daughters who are 17 and 21. They are my best friends. You are only as old as you want to be. ❤🤘
47 now and I've not felt this way about a band since I discovered Metallica as a 16 year old or Portishead when I was 21. Now I just watch people reacting to try and recapture the feelings I had the first time I listened to sleep token. Worship!
This song in particular is a really fantastic showcase of 'setting the mood' for all of the albums. I couldn't think of a more perfect opening track to the triology. Vessel's lyricism and songwriting abilities as well as his obvious love for music and his yearning to convey emotions through his chosen medium pours through on every track. Sleep Token is more than just music; it's art, it's storytelling, it's beautiful, it's painful-- all of these things make us as fans feel connected to the music and to each other.
I’m subscribing for more Sleep Token reactions. this album is a masterpiece and you won’t regret listening to it in chronological order the next track “The Offering” is a masterpiece in itself and a banger
Sleep Token is life changing. This trilogy of albums is hands down the best experience of music artistry I've experienced in my 34 years on this planet.
I've sat on the side on the road and cried when I 1st started listening. They let me feel. This album is called Sundowning. Sundowning syndrome, look it up, it plays into the album story. The EP'S, names have meaning, especially EP 2, at least in my opinion. All of it plays into the lore, but it plays into a Relationship with ones self and with others. Worship.
I know exactly what you mean. Their music sucks you in. It's hypnotizing almost. There's something about the way they produce the music that makes it feel like the music is all around you. Then Vessel's voice lures you in. When the song is over, it takes me a minute to come back to reality. So when you said it leaves you speechless...this feeling is exactly what I though of. I couldn't hear a new Sleep Token song and talk about it right after. You are doing a good job though. I love that you put the comments from the last video on during the song. That was so nice. I loved reading everyone's comments. I am loving your Sleep Token reactions. My daughter and I are watching them together. Worship ! ❤
The start of this song instantly makes me feel like I'm watching the sunrise. I feel warm and full of optimism for a new day and new possibilities. That's part of what the song is about too, how the night can bring such negative emotions but the sunrise wipes that away. It also touches on loss and acceptance when he says "I know for the last time, you will not be mine". This is kind of a major theme for the album itself and the story told through all 3 albums. I'm glad you're starting this journey and I can't wait to follow along ❤
I could totally see a national geographic "short" made of time lapsed photos of the sun rising over the earth to the tune of the first 1:02 of this song.
What does Sleep Token do for me? They are a religious experience for me - a 49 year old raised on Metal and Hard Rock facing the latter part of his life and feeling like my heart would never again be quickened. As far as I’m concerned Vessel is the High Priest of my Church. And II beats the rhythm of Life on his kit. I’m happy for you that Sleep Token have found you, as they found everyone else in your comment section. Followers always welcome another to The Faithful. Liked and subscribed. Worship 🖤
Their latest tour here in the States started in April. I was fortunate enough to see them May 6 in Tampa and they started the set list with this song. And he sang it so beautifully. He's AMAZING live. Sounds so good. I love all of his little ad libs he adds too. Their music just makes you feel so good, even though some of the songs are pretty dark. Glad you're doing the rabbit hole!! Can't wait for more. Worship ❤
Happy to take the 350th subscriber spot, here for anything and all of Sleep Token. TMBTE is a great intro song because you got the full range of their flexibility, from a piano ballad, R&B, and getting punched in the face at the end with a breakdown. For what it's worth, I'll mimic everyone by saying listen to the 3 albums in order, but also you mentioned 'The Summoning' in one of your outros and I didn't see that video uploaded, would love to as it's their biggest song, and brought a lot of the ST fans today. Their albums all tell a story of a toxic relationship, so that's why I relate to it currently. It is amazing to think of you the lyrics in each song can be interpreted though, it doesn't just have to be about a relationship.
Thank you for being here! So, The Summoning was going to be my 2nd video, but I accidentally didn't record it. Maybe I'll do a summoning appreciation video or something near the end once I have a grasp on the story/lore. Or maybe do it in order when I get there, I have only listened to it that one time. It's a huge song, so I will figure something out as long as I keep my integrity lol.
this band has saved me mentally. TMBTE came out right around my darkest time and pulled me out. theres just something about them man... watching someone start their journey at the beginning is always so fun. Remember that this has a HUGE lore behind it. you can do a bit of basic studying without ruining it. but sit back and enjoy. it will be 100% worth it.
Thank you! Before I do the final ST song, I think I'm going to live stream the entire discography so it's fresh and fans can come and go as they please and kinda join in on the fun. Then, just do a live reaction to Euclid that we can watch together as my final offering to Sleep Token. Maybe get a hold of some ST swag and do a couple giveaways? I dont know, it's a bit of an ambitious thought, but by that time, I think I can pull something like that off.
I think all his songs are up to interpretation. They have a lore to it all but I think it’s remarkable that they are relatable that anyone can pull their own feelings from them for different experiences in their own life. To me it’s about longing for a love you will never have completely.
If someone asked me why I love this band, I could do a dissertation. If they asked me what I don't like, I'd blankly stare at them unsure of how to answer.
@CasualReactions yeah it's been about a year for me since I got out of mine! Not to be dramatic, but this band changed my life. I found them around that time, and they were a huge contribution to my healing journey. ❤️
You'll see that ST never sticks to 1 genre. All songs on this album have different vibes. Some chill, some kinda boppy, some aggressive. Expect the unexpected is all i can say. Welcome to ST my man!!
“This is completely different than the other 2 songs I have listened to”…buckle up my man. This band will take you a journey unlike any other over the past few decades.
You could read the lyrics before you listen to the song?! Idk just an idea. Or maybe have them on a second screen? But then you need a second screen and I don't know if you have one. It took me some time to figure out what he was singing about. In a way I still have not figured it out. There are so many possible interpretations. For me it took really a long time to let all of this sink in.
Love it! I've found everything I'm using on Facebook marketplace(even my laptop 3 months ago), so I'm sure I can snag something low res for cheap and use it as a lyric/chat screen. Really good idea!
We love going from the beginning with you! If you are interested, there is lore with this band. Starting from ep One will make it easier to understand it, if you care to. Not everyone gets into the lore, some just love the music. ❤️
Sleep Token is hypnotic. The Lore is that Vessel, the lead singer/writer/etc. had a dream where he met the god of sleep, who began visiting him in his dreams, and the band and the songs are tokens for the god/goddess of sleep. The relationship is pretty toxic. You can also interpret the lyrics as any kind of toxic relationship. Vessel and II, the drummer, write and record all of the music. III is the bassist, and IV is the guitarist. They have been touring members up until this point. The vocals are all done by Vessel on the recordings, but live they have a 3 person female back up, known as Espera. I hope this helps.
What has this band done for me? Made me here today. It took me 14 years of hell and lost family and friends but I have finally found my diagnosis. I was told I was crazy, that I was a drug seeker. That I was a hypochondriac. I’m now stuck on an air mattress in pain 24/7. I have reached my breaking point many times. Constant horrible pain will do that. Not being believed will do that. Now I find it’s stiff person syndrome all along. Thanks Celine. Sleep Token found me just in time. Their music made me feel again. Made me do some therapy I needed. Made all other music pale by comparison.
What does ST do for me? Gives me peace and a new hope for living, Restores my faith in modern music, relaxes my brain and thoughts, takes away my stress, and gives my daughter the sleep at night she hasn’t had in a while! She plays ST lyric and instrumental songs on repeat every night and she gets some sleep! WORSHIP🖤🩶
@@CasualReactions ST is an endless rabbit hole! And I absolutely love it 🥰 I have them on repeat for almost 2 years now and I love to see the reactions of new worshippers since I’ll never get to experience them for the first time again! Thank you 🙏🏼
What does it do for me? It allows me to be vulnerable, to feel things. I am normally very unemotional, but they put in me in a place let things in and out. In one of the live videos Vessel address the crowd via a audio script, there he speculated that "we are all here, because we have all....suffered" and it really peirces my armor.

Haha indeed I am!
This song at a live Ritual is absolutely amazing!
Great reaction! The night belongs to you ;)

Love it!
They also say most vids with lyrics have mistakes, so best would be to have the vid open and the googled lyrics open separately i guess. ☺️
That's a really good idea!! Thank you
Since most videos are just visualizers I suggest YT music, it has the correct lyrics on there.
@@NikkiWright-STLVR23 heard thanks!
From what I understand, he is singing about the ending of a toxic relationship that's hopeless but addictive.
If that's the case, Sleep Token couldn't have found me at a better time. I'm 'this close' 🤞 to be healed from that exact relationship.
@CasualReactions yeah it's been about a year for me since I got out of mine! Not to be dramatic, but this band changed my life. I found them around that time, and they were a huge contribution to my healing journey. ❤️
