Hey Luke,
Thank you so much for your kind words :) It was truly an honor to be a part of this amazing project, especially knowing the personal journey you went through to bring it to life. Your resilience and dedication are incredibly inspiring! I'm so glad I could help in any small way to make your vision a reality, and I'm here if you need anything, just drop me a line and I'll be more than happy to help :)
To all ST fans - Luke has poured his heart and soul into this video, and it's a testament to his passion and strength. What an incredible video he has put out! Please share with your friends and in all the Sleep Token communities to help spread its powerful message.
Luke, take care of yourself and know that we're all here supporting you. Your work means so much to us, and we're grateful for everything you do. Stay strong, my friend!
Best,
Alex Tamulis
Thank you so much Alex!
I appreciate your help and all your kind and warm words.. You have a good soul 🙏
Hello my friends.. It’s been a minute, I know. Sorry.
The truth is I have really not been okay. Life has been incredibly rough for a while and in some regards things are worse than ever. It was however, so important for me to
finish this project and share it with you all.
I started putting together the first ideas for this video while laying in a hospital bed.
DYWTYLM had just been released and I remember listening to the song while staring up at the ceiling of this small sterile room, knowing a spark had been lit.
Some time later, after the release of the full album, I isolated myself in a little house in the countryside. That weekend I wrote about 80% of the script. The time between then and now was bad.. To say the least. it really took everything out of me to finish it. But it’s here and I’m so happy and excited to finally share it with you all.
I have to give a massive shoutout to Alex, who without hesitation agreed to help me when
my health issues were slowing everything to a crawl. He was so patient and attentive to my directions and visions throughout the whole recording process and it’s safe to say he helped save the project. Please make sure to show him some love in the comments.
I want to give a very very big shout out to the Sleep Token Discord. You have offered me so much love and support during the darkest hours. I’m forever grateful. Thank you.
I also want to thank all of you for watching and supporting my channel.
I absolutely never expected it to grow to becoming the largest ST fan channel on TH-cam.
You are amazing. Thank you!!
Finally I want to ask you all for a favor.
I never once asked for a like, follow or anything..
But I will ask you for something this one time.
- Please share this video in all the ST fan spheres and with your ST friends!
I’m not asking this because I want attention or exposure for myself. I am at peace with the fact that this long format video won’t perform very well number wise. I am asking because of the message in the video. If I can just reach one person that needs to hear it, It will all have been worth all the time and effort.
I really hope you all like the video and I’m anxious to hear what you think.
And once again.. From the bottom of my heart.
Thank you all
We are forever grateful for the work you have put in to this project! Hope everything gets better 🩵
Thank you for this beautiful video l, I truly hope you and anyone else struggling learn to heal and keep having hope. Thank you again and to Alex and to sleep token.
Luke, I’m sorry for the hardships you’ve been through whatever they may be. Thank you AND ALEX for taking the time to put out one last video for your channel. For now, perhaps.
Please take care of yourself and until next time 💙
@@DanSkinny Thank you again my friend. It means a lot to me ❤
This video made me realize I had a lot of buried trauma and torment that was just waiting to burst. I don't think I've ever had such a visceral reaction like that to any other video. I'm actually still weeping as I'm typing this out...
Thank you so much for producing this, Luke. It helped kickstart a healing process I never realized I needed, and made me realize why I'm so obsessed with this masterpiece of a band.
And take care of yourself, Luke. We may all be strangers online, but I haven't felt a connection to any other community as this one. If you have no more supporters, it's because I'm no longer on this plane of existence. And I already know you have over 5,000 people here like me that are willing to be there for you. No matter what you're going through, you aren't alone, and you are appreciated.
See you around💙
Just another person crying because this video explained everything to me as far as why I can't stop listening to this band and why i need to keep hearing this music. Beautifully put and eloquent video truly in Sleep Token fashion. Thank you for another step towards hope.
"You see, your Return to Eden was never about bringing back the past, but about loosening yourself from the vines that held you back from going into your future."
What a beautiful way to explain this concept, bravo!
Thank you ❤ I'm glad that you liked it! 😊
HE NAILED IT, this video is pure art
The call back to Chokehold in TMBTE are sung like memories
Euclid hurt me more than anything musically I have ever experienced. I don't normally feel emotion, but Euclid broke me. It unearthed things I had buried, murdered, ignored. It genuinely feels like Vessel is calling out to you, and "I must be someone new", killed me. You aren't your past, you aren't your trauma, you're much more, because of the pain. "The night belongs to you" felt like me personally letting go. I refuse to be in pain and despair anymore. I've always been a huge music person, but Sleeptoken breaks through all of your barriers and really SPEAKS to you. Unbelievable.
I feel this in my soul. Everytime Euclid begins to play, it's like my heart lights on fire and is beaming out of me. I feel SO MUCH emotion.. but in the best way. Sadness, longing, grief, joy, anger, regret, and peace. I'm so happy that this song has a similar effect on others. I've never had a song pull so much raw emotion out of me.. every time it plays. 🫶🖤
The change from "The Night Does Not Belong to God" appearing for the first time in their music when Vessel dedicates it to the person he loves, to the full circle moment where he sings "The Night Belongs To You" to himself at the end of "Euclid" is nothing short of music and songwriting genius. It made me cry the first time I heard it and still makes me cry today. The reclamation of his narrative and identity is one of the most beautiful journeys in music history.
sitting here, typing this while ugly crying. This band is more than just a band, theyre the reason i'm starting to process m trauma and continue healing mentally. this band has genuinely pulled me from the pits of depression and C-PTSD and helped me find a new meaning to life.
Never cried this hard to Euclid ever.
*Worship.*
I wish you warmth and good healing 🖤❤ Take care
Wish you good health brother, take care of yourself❤
Worship
I’m just sat here sobbing at the end of that.
Euclid means more to me than I can articulate. This band saved me in more ways than I can express.
Love your videos. Thank you for this.
Okay so... I'm crying right now. Because for a long time I hadn't realized why I like sleep token so much. But now I see that... I found myself in Vessel and his songs. I felt and still feel understood with each line. Vessel claims he's not capable of saving anyone, but he has no idea how much he has changed me. Made me realize things about myself, awaken. I'm so happy that I fount this incredible band...
WORSHIP
This right here. I knew I connected with the music and it made me feel things I hadn't felt in such a long time, but I never fully understood why it hit me so hard until now. I was sobbing through the whole thing because I could've written Vessel's story myself (I'm sure the circumstances are vastly different and what we experienced is not at all the same). The raw emotions, the depression, the pain, trying to reclaim something I'll never have again, it's all there. He may say he isn't capable of saving anyone, but he saved me. And I'm glad he's saving others, too,.
He has saved alot of us! I hope he realizes how much he is loved!
Same feeling!! I understand You perfectly. You are not alone. You are so loved. Worship ❤
Fuck me I got tears now😓😓
@@ivamlekarova4200 It means for me that I adore this band and I connected deeply with the messages. I'm not religious neither
When Euclid started playing, i broke. What a fabulous video. Thank you 🙏🏼😭
I found Sleep Token when I was at my lowest ( Alkaline had just been realeased). I related so much to his music that I finally felt seen. I was in and out of behavioral health units, lost my house, lost everything. I moved across the US and was working on myself, therapy, and found a career I loved. Eden was everything. "No amount of self saught fury will bring back the glory of innocence" truly helped me begin letting go. I was traumatized and abused from the time I was 4. I don't remember innocence and I never had it, it was stolen. I have always hated myself for being never enough and for the things I went through. I always blamed myself for the abuse that was done to me. I still do sometimes, but every day I try to remind myself " I must be someone new for me." I must now live and love myself. The love and attention and care I deserved as a child, I must now give to myself. This band has saved my life, truly.
I saw them October last year at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, CA. I made a sign that said "you saved me". I hope he saw it, and he realizes he did save me and so many others by sharing his story.
Thank you Vessel, for bringing hope and light to myself and others.
"You Saved Me"

Thank you for sharing your story!
I wish you all the best. Take care 🖤
Thank you for this video. I don’t like when people say “it’s just music. It’s all a gimmick. There is no deeper meaning. You read too far into it” etc. because even if Vessel didn’t actually go thru trauma, the message is deeper than that. It’s not JUST music, it’s not JUST words. Vessel put so much thought and work into these albums and I’m in awe every time I listen to an album or even a song. I have never had a band or artist effect my soul until Sleep Token. The message is life. It’s what people go thru daily.
I hope you’re finding peace and healing. This was a beautiful video and message. I hope you get well soon 🙏🏻🖤
Everyone, absolutely everyone, has experienced trauma. That's not in question.
@@Ty91681 you’re absolutely correct.
He cries onstage under that mask. Blood sweat and tears go into his craft and he’s so masterful of it.
I lost my dad to a car accident 5 days after my 18th birthday. No one understands the grief of losing a parent until it happens to them, especially in a way I wasn’t able to say goodbye to him. No words can explain how these albums make you feel on a deep level after experiencing trauma. It is crazy that Vessel can put into words what others cannot. Thank you so much for this piece, this is truly amazing. 🖤
Thank you for the kind words.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
@@SleepTokenLuke thank you ❤️
My father committed suicide, 100% correct
@@AWTFMEDIAProduction I'm sorry for your loss ❤

The apparition. By far my favorite song from sleep token. I wasn’t ready for hard deep that song goes. Though, everything I’ve heard so far is amazing, it’s hard to pick just one but that’s definitely the one for me.
This was so incredibly beautiful and genuinely touched my soul. I am dealing with escaping after almost 12 years of narcissistic abuse. I found Sleep Token shortly before I escaped and since then their music, their story, the fan base and their stories has given me so much hope. Given me so much strength to survive something I honestly thought I couldn't. I know it may be a cliche at this point but this band, the fans... Have genuinely saved my life. I could never express enough words to how grateful I am for that. Time and time again i've been pulled back from what felt like drowning just by hearing a song or reading someone's story in the comments. Truly, together as fans, we have the best support system. I love you all so much and will eternally be grateful, to both the band and fans, for how you've changed my life. You are so, so very loved. Your light shines in the darkest of places, never forget that. ♥
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for sharing your story 🙏🖤
Thanks for that. Your story hasn’t fallen on deaf ears
Hey Luke, Thank you for the mention in this video and supporting the project - you rule.
You know we will always love and support your work 🖤 Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment! I appreciate it :)
From parts of The Night Does Not Belong to God being reused in Euclid, to the sheer power of Vessel screaming "I can't hold myself together" in High Water.
Sleep Token has quickly become one of, if not my favourite bands of all time.
Most songs pull me out of my own body and it gets even worse when you practise them and you feel what Vessel was feeling.
Stay strong people and most importantly,
Worship.
I discovered Sleep Token through TikTok when all those reaction videos for The Summoning were trending. I liked the song so headed to TH-cam to check out more of their songs. Some random recommendations popped up and I kept clicking. It was Alkaline that hooked me. I listened to the entire discography from beginning to end by the time TMBTE album dropped. I adore this group in such a way I've rarely done before. They just get me in the feels and make me smile and cry. I'm forever grateful I found them.
Worship
I am extremely new to Sleep Token. I had heard of them over a year ago. I listened but their music didn't catch me up. I know now it was that I wasn't ready to receive it. I have grown a little since then. Life is ever changing and in my 60 years the changes go from the highest highs to the very bottom of the pit. I have experienced unimaginable emotional, physical and psychological trauma.
I would like to commend you for a wonderful and enlightening video. I appreciate your interpretation of Sleep Token. And I am thankful and grateful that you and Vessel have shared so much with me. It is changing me in so many ways. I wish you healing and love always.
Thank you for your kind comment, I really appreciate it. I wish you healing and warmth as well 🙏😊
So, seeing this video has ignighted a spark in me i haven't felt in awhile. I'm usually a pretty reserved person and my feelings have never been something I could convey, but seeing this made all the strings of why i love Sleep Token connect. I want to heal from the pain that has been inflicted on me.
I met someone around ten years ago, we shared a birthday, similar hobbies and interests, but the time wasn't right. We both moved on from eachother, found our own bumpy way, with plenty of ups and downs for both of us. About a year ago, on out birthday we started talking again and we ended up trying again. It was by far the highest point in my life, sharing moments with her, helping recover from our issues from parents to ex's, it felt good, it felt right. She had problems with having kids in the past and I i always wanted to be a dad, so we figured we would try and have a kid together. After trying for awhile she began to grow cold and distant, we went from living together to seeihg each other once or twice a week. She finally reached out and said we needed to talk and my heart sank, the only thought in my head was that it had happened again, instead of mourning, i had to grieve when she ended things between us. Me and her both loved Sleep Token, both discovering them shortly after we got back together, her favorite song was DYWTYLM, once the full release of Take me back to Eden was out, we were over. The only person i wanted to share the album with and bond over it didn't want to see my face again. I spent a few months going through the motions, barley existing and finding myself in the same rut that many have felt before. I lost my job, family members who didn't understand what was going on, and a group of friends that i met through her. Ive been dragging myself from day to day with her constantly in my mind, in my dreams and I was scared I'd get to the point that I've found myself at so many times where i didnt wish to keep going, but I got a second chance. For my birthday i got to see sleep token live and in combination with this video, i feel that i can truly start moving on.
To those who took the time reading this, thank you. This community has opened my eyes and i feel more connected than i ever have before. I will be better, so that when i reach my Eden, i will be in the right mindset to claim it. For all of those that are at the bottom, know that the only way to go from here is up.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story. Sometimes the mere act of writing or speaking the things that trouble us, can lighten the burden a little and help us understand everything better.
You are on the right path. Slowly work on building yourself up and be patient.. Trust the process.
You will get there.
I wish you all the best.
Take care 🖤
All the comments here are talking about Euclid, and Euclid is an amazing song, but the song that made me a true fan of Sleep Token was “Are You Really Okay?” That song resonates with me like no other song I’ve heard. And this video helped me get a better understanding of that song along with the entire discography, which helps to appreciate it more. Thank you
Euclid is such a masterful and epic ending to this trilogy. It really sums up everything that an ending to that has to have.
Sleep Token showed me I hadn't grieved. Fall for me made me feel not alone. The messages from 2024 Tour is exactly where my mind has
been,on my own mortality. I've found friends because of them.
I'm glad you're here and im glad there are others here and we are still alive.
Worship.
I always thought that 'are you really okay' was sleep singing to him, being awoken by his suicide attempt and thats what began their toxic love affair. But hearing it explained in a different way that vessel is actually trying to help himself makes it a lot less depressing. The song itself saved my life, hearing vessel telling me not to hurt myself again when i had planned to end it all that day changed everything for me. So thank you for other explanations and for adding hope to the sadness. 🖤
Glad you're still with us (also to you, Luke!) 💜 On those days where you can't imagine seeing the next, I hope you'll remember the sheer stubbornness and strength that got you from the last day to your present one. Each day you experience is a gift to *yourself* above anything else. Please remember that you are worth every second of that gift you give yourself. Love and peace to you.
11:13 hell YES! Telomeres is one of my all times favorites from them with maybe the only song beating it is TNDNBTG! It’s definitely their most underrated song and I can’t believe they haven’t played it live yet! Every Sleep Token fan needs to know about it
I think you put into words what I've been trying to say since I discovered Sleep Token. Their music and Vessel's voice and emotions have always hit me hard and I never fully understood why. I connected a few of the dots and started using their music to heal. But this... this is a whole other level. I couldn't stop crying throughout the whole thing because this is my story (as I'm sure it is many other's story, as well, and why their music touches so many people). I see all of that in me, the trauma, the pain, the consuming darkness, and now I know why it's so important to me. His music encompasses my internal struggle, my constant battle against myself. I didn't think Euclid could hit me any harder than it already does, but now I get it. I've said since I found them that sharing ST with others is like sharing a piece of my soul. I believe that's true now more than ever. Thank you. Thank you so much for doing this despite all your struggles. I hope you heal and Sleep Token carries you through it all.
Thank you so much.. I truly appreciate it. And thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and story ❤
I wish you healing and warmth 🙏
Hi Luke - I'll admit I held off a little with seeing this video only because I feel in many ways super "protective" of Vessel's poetry in the sense that I feel it so personally and I want to keep that for just myself and my own journey and for him in honoring that it is uniquely HIS journey. I dont know if I'm expaining it very well.
All this to say - now I've seen it - and I absolutely loved it. You did it so well. Kindly, lovingly, carefully - drawning the big lines and not getting lost in the details and overexplaining quauntum mechanics. I really appreciated that. Just the right touch and sentiment.
And the end of the video was a real gut buster and I cried. Beautiful - I think even Vessel could not have written it bettter.
Cannot wait for the next part of the journey and I''m just happy to be here and to witness. To worship.
Thank you so much for the very kind words. I'm honored that you would give my project such high praise! It means a lot to me, truly🙏
This band is so much more than just the music
Holy crap, Derealization. I've felt that so often in my life but had no word for it.
These guys saved me. And they saved my daughter. They will always be a very special part of our lives and i cannot wait for his next chapter.
I appreciate that intellectual breakdown. Most of my friends and family can’t appreciate some of the music I listen to, and Sleep Token is no exception. While I have a great appreciation for the music itself, I lack the ability to break down the imagery and poems behind the music. You did just that in this video.
Hello Luke, fairly new ST fan here, i stumbled across your video and i just want to say thank you for putting this together and giving me some insight to ST and who they are, i am a tourchered soul who really wanted to get in touch with Vessel's inner thoughts and process this unique style of music and message and i will say, i am a fan for sure and will always be, i have loved music my whole life and its the reason i am still on this rock, ST is an incredible band and ive been looking for this kind of outlet to process all of my trauma and demons, so again thank you so very much ....ST fan.💀🙏
I was so lucky to see ST in May, and the feelings I experienced were nothing like I had felt before. I've never met Vessel, hell I don't even know his name. But he somehow was able to personify deep trauma that so many have experienced and yet isolates us. It's beautiful and tragic
Thank you for making this video. You've made a bigger impact than you could imagine.
That was so nice of you. Thank you
I can't express how beautiful this video really is. I bawled my eyes out singing along to Euclid at the end. I can't help but thank you for the insight you have given me regarding their music and breaking it down, because it has only made my love for ST so much more rooted.
I remember when I first listened to them back when The Summoning blew up, and for the first time, I dug into an artist's discography beyond one song and I do not regret it one bit. Aqua Regia is the one that completely enveloped me in, but when I first heard Telomeres and Gods, I had even more reason to resonate with them. Not entirely understanding that each album represented a stage of trauma and healing, I ended up finding myself in it so quickly. Within every lyric and vein running throughout their music.
I began to heal and navigate feelings within me that I couldn't locate or describe before and the reassurance it gave me is immeasurable. But having seen this video and you explaining everything has made this art so much more sentimental for me. And that, I appreciate you for.
I hope things start lightening up for you and you recover quickly. You are incredible and I appreciate your work so much. - Regia
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and thoughts. I really appreciate it
😊🙏
@@SleepTokenLuke Absolutely. Again, excellent work. I feel your passion and I completely support you all the way.
Ive only gotten into sleep token when Chokehold was released in january of 2023. Despite being late to the party, I went through their entire discography and found a deep connection with TPWBYT.
From the piano in Atlantic, the vocals of Fall For Me, to the heartbreak in Missing Limbs, I loved it all. Out of all the songs on that album Telomeres was the one that spoke to me the most.
"And we go beyond the farthest reaches
Where the light bends and wraps beneath us
And I know as you collapse into me
This is the start of something"
11:09 im glad to hear that someone else also holds that song as close to them as I do. Much love Luke 🩵🩵🩵
I really hope vessel knows his journey has helped so many people learn to cope and let go. 🤘😜
this is BEATIFUL, you literally have me in tears rn
If sleep token ever get a documentary I want you to work on it, so much love for this band and now for this channel
Thank you very much for the kind words! 🙏😊
Yeah mate I came here for answers and explanations, which I got but I didn’t expect the best life advices ever and sob my eyes out
@@theus__ I'm glad that the message resonated with you 😊
This was beautiful, at the moment I cant find more words to add. Thank you
God this band is so surreal and amazing from lyrics to music to lore once you learn this it makes the sleep token experience so much better
What a beautiful narrative, an epic story that Vessel has given us. It's such an important message that so many can relate to and that is just part of what makes Sleep Token such an incredible force. Thank you for taking so much of your time to relay this and to do so, so eloquently! Seeing this made me remember why I love them so much. Even through the tough times, there is a message of hope! Thank you for that reminder!
TMBTE is the album that I was introduced to Sleep Token and unfortunately I was experiencing domestic violence at the time of the release . I would listen to it in the shower as I was crying and healing the marks on my body. I back tracked the albums, and understood that I haven’t grieved any of my trauma before this. I understood vessel with all the self destruction, depression, self hate, and abusive relationships. I finally let go of this person who harmed me, and this album I listen everyday. I saw them live it was transformative experience of letting go of my personal pain on the path to healing. I want to recover, and Rain/TMBTE is etched in my heart ❤.
I distinctly remember the first time I heard a Sleep Token song. It was 2018 and TH-cam recommended Jaws to me, they had just released it. As soon as the song started, I felt my entire world shift on its axis. Witnessing their growth and being able to heal from my own problems became such an important part of my life. I love them so so so very much
This video was absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you so much!!!
I dont want to cry, i dont know what.. your on about.
But in all seriousness this hit more emotionally than one of your songs, and thats seriously saying something.
You have my complete respect for what you had to go through making your content, and i wish the BEST for your Health, your Career and most importantly, your Future.
Stay Strong Luke, Never give up💪
All the Best.
Max Foster
Absolutely outstanding 👏
I believe the visual from Take me Back to Eden is a reference to Azrael - the archangel of transitioning into the afterlife. The song has such a sense of hope towards the end. It's like he wants to go back to eden to be forgiven for the sins. And at the end, he wants to force his way end. So hope into despair in a way.
As being a huge mythology connsieur the minute I heard this band I knew I found something else other than music, please listen to Stoneside they are just as good. I subbed
Worship
I had a conversation today - before I saw this - with some of the same background in Psych .. Philosophy ..and considering some of the lore / mythology elements / relating to metaphoric relations of characters. ( god figures )
I really relate to this break down.. - 100% believe this is accurate.. ( impossible to say unless the band reveals the story ... which I believe serves them best if kept a secret )
This is truly heartfelt as ... the last part.. is about starting a journey of Recovery.
Yes - we will al be hurt.. and we will all struggle ..but .. sadly .. not everyone gets to feel that Hope .. or relation to someone fighting to get better.
I really ..really hope .. the New Era ... is this story of expressing Vessel's journey through recovery and acceptance. There are SOOO many hurt people healing and relating to this work .. art .. love and pain .. that I feel ... a project that focuses on the path to Self Actualization .. would serve not only a musical gift. .but something to ripple though humanity by their fans.
We are all connected in this reality..and each person does have a significant effect.
Healing .. is the message I'd love to see in the next chapter.
Thank for this video .. I feel more aligned in my perspective with their work having seen this analysis.
- Respects.
I think I‘ve found the best video on youtube. Even if you‘re not into Sleep Token you learn so much for yourself and your personality within this. Thanks for every minute of work you put into this, Luke. It was worth it!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I'm very happy that the video resonated so well with you! 🖤
Thank you for the lovely analysis. It brought so many new connections out for me. And the ending message made me tear up a bit 🥲 pesky emotions.
Thank you for watching 😊🙏
OMG that was beautiful! Thaaank you for this. Ending with Euclid has me bawling again. I love this so much. You are so loved too
❤️ I LOVE THIS BAND ❤️ NO OTHER BAND HAS MADE ME FEEL THIS WAY
The song that did it for me was "Fall For Me". I listened through all songs on Take Me Back to Eden and I was loving it. But the first time I heard "And I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again" I was SOBBING. Having Bipolar and experiencing different traumas, I'm constantly going through med changes every few months. Each time I start to slip and realize meds aren't working again, I spiral, and it feels like any progress I've made is slipping through my fingers. Slowly the other songs started hitting me deeper as well, but Fall For Me will resonate differently forever.
Thank you for sharing your story.
I wish you all the best. You will get there, stay strong 🖤
Thanks for your video. Amazing the way you connect with the art. It's deep.
I wanna tell something. Now I'm an almost happy person, with some bad days which is normal. I'm a licensed psychologist myself.
But I had a really hard past. I've suffered from Anorexia, self harm and major depression in my adolescence and early 20's. I've suffered from violence and bullying on my childhood. I wanted to leave this world many times. Then I felt better until my father died after battling cancer for years. Then I was broken and... top note, I started a relationship with a " Nice guy" who really was a covert psychopath.
So I've been throught a HUGE amount of pain in my life. But I'm still here ❤
I'm doing therapy now, but I was not able to open the broken and saddest parts of myself.
A gym friend showed me Sleep Token and instantly fell in love with the vocals. Then I connected with the art in a deeper level and was like an emotional catalyst. I worked in my own therapy with ST music throught a Lot of sessions. Vessel put words when I couldn't speak. Now the pain is gone.
I'M ETERNALLY THANKFULL FOR THIS ART, AND THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.
WORSHIP ❤
Thank you very much for the kind words 🖤 And thank you for sharing your story.. I'm proud of you. You are on the right path ❤
@@SleepTokenLuke Thank You!!! It's amazing to see that this art is touching deep the souls of many. And I'm not alone. Sending a Big hug from 🇦🇷
TMBTE came at the right time for me. I needed something to help me heal of my traumas and that's probably why I'm so attached to TMBTE. 🖤
Been a fan of Sleep token for a while now. Until a few days ago, when I really listened to all the albums and paying close attention to every meticulous detail. This is a masterpiece!
After watching this video and the music, I cannot believe the impact this has on my mind and soul.
THANK YOU for such amazing music and such an amazing video!
Thank you for watching. I'm very happy that you enjoyed and connected with the video 🙏😊
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing 🎶🎶
What an absolutely beautiful and raw video. I’m sitting here sobbing. I love this band so much. Thank you so making this video, I think a lot of us needed to see it. Sending so much love.
Man... Finding this video whilst struggling with a recurrence of trauma is rough, but very needed. Thank you for your hard work Luke.
Thank you for watching!
I wish you all the best on your journey 🙏🖤
shit that last part killed me... thank you
Before I knew much about the lore (I'm a newer fan), I would listen to TMBTE and cry at (what I thought were) random parts. It makes so much sense now, knowing what there is to know. Thank you so much for making this video. That ending made me cry, and I hope you know you are very appreciated ❤
Thank you for the kind words.
I'm glad that you could connect with the video 🙏🖤😊
I cannot tell you how on point this is for myself, as well as many ST fans. I feel every word that Vessel sings because it is how I feel. It's the first album, in my life, that has ever moved me spiritually. I feel heard. I feel seen. I feel welcomed. This community is like no other. We are all coping. We understand and respect one another. We live another day. Thank you for this beautiful piece.
Thank you very much! And thank you for the inspirational words 🙏😊
Wow! Thank you for this video. Love ST! I also understand why they speak to my soul even more now.
Damn this has got me bawlinggg. The full impact of this band and their world building abilities is one that we can't yet grasp. This is so great 🤩
saw the comments from people saying they were sobbing before watching this vid and thought I could make it through.
Can confirm with them, I'm sobbing too.
Worship.
Thank you so much for so eloquently and succinctly describing the healing process. I relate so much to everything you’ve highlighted. I’ve struggled so much with trauma and mental health throughout my life and finally reached my own “bite back in anger” moment a couple of years ago. I’m excited to see what comes next as the next phase of healing is so hard. But maaaaannnn those last 3 minutes hit me hard and is exactly what I needed to hear. I know I will come back to this video every time i feel stuck in the journey to remind me of the progress made and to help find hope in the dark times.
Thank you for all the hard work that went into this, it is truly a masterpiece.
Thank you for the kind words!
I know you will make it through, you just have to keep going, trust the process.
I wish you all the best..
TMBTE came at the perfect time in my life. You are so loved!
This was absolutely excellent. Thank you for your well written and honest expression here. This is wonderful content and even artful and we're all in support of your work and creativity. Sending you grace and ease in your medical journey and the journey of life.
I definitely get it. Had more than my share of trauma. Would be more than some could handle. And yet, be nothing for others that are going through way worse.
After this explanation, I just listened to the last album again and i understand why Euclid is now the closing song. To be honest, it’s probably actually my least favourite song on the album; I thought it was such a weak ending considering the epic journey that TMBTE just took us on, I thought that it should have ended after that; to just fade out in to silence. I get it now. Again, still not 100% sold on the song, but I can appreciate its position in the album now. Worship
Granite and DYWTYLM hit me so hard
This is the first time someone had the same opinion that some of these songs are about him and not someone else
I cannot stop crying. This is absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching and perfect.
I needed this. Thanks 🙏🏼
Amazing video.
This is the best interpretation. Period.
Thank you! I'm very happy that you liked it 😊🙏
Thank you so much for the video and the important message you want to convey there. It’s so much needed. I hope you’re doing okay, I’m sending you all my wishes for a speedy recovery x
What an incredible video, this has taken my breath away. I never thought of this 'reading' of the music and lyrics. It really feels like things have come full circle now, and as someone recovering from DA in relationships/in or from family I can relate to so much of Vessel's lyrics as someone who has sat through that pain and is allowing us to learn how to feel/process it alongside him. He hides none of the ugliness from us. Nothing lasts forever - the pain doesn't last forever, this moment is fleeting. I always think how moments in the future used to feel so intangible, so far away from now that they'd never come to pass. Yet they have come and been and happened. They are all just memories now. The good times don't last forever, but neither do the bad times. Nothing Lasts Forever
Thank you for sharing this with the world. It’s a message I needed to hear so badly and I know it’s not just me that needed it. To everyone who finds themselves here. You are loved. You are valued. You deserve to be happy and to feel at peace in the world around you.
This is beautiful! Thank you. Sending you best wishes and a speedy recovery ❤
Spine tingling analysis! A lot of this is things that have crossed my mind already (I spotted the Caravaggio similarities, etc) but I had not considered the amazing idea that the "you" in a lot of the songs might be Vessel singing to himself. I hadn't really thought about that quite so much and it's just beautiful.
Turning the "You" in some of the lyrics onto oneself has given me a new appreciation and a much deeper personal connection to the lyrics, and for the sake of my own healing journey, thank you deeply. I hope you're well and healing in all ways yourself too. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm very happy that the video resonated with you and that you found my views interesting 😊
I really needed this. Thank you so much
Love the breakdown of this fantastic trilogy that I honestly think helped save me and allowed me to be here listening to your words and thoughts
Amazing video once again, Luke! Glad you're back. Thank you for being here! This video helped me today.
This was incredibly moving and so insightful 🖤 YOU ARE SO LOVED
Wow, wow, wow Luke! This is glorious. Thank you so much for making this thing of beauty.
Look up what Sundowning actually is and it blows your mind even more. Appropriate assessment on Act 1
Hello dear friend, looked forward to this day. Anxious to hear where you’ve been sir!
Hey man.. Thank you for still being here.
I still remember you were here right in the very beginning, telling me that you were a fan.
I appreciate you and all the love you have shown me and my channel. Thank you.
@@SleepTokenLuke just finished the video. Bravo sir...filled me with a lot of emotion, as Sleep Token AND you are so good at.
Huge thanks to Alex for helping!
@@SleepTokenLuke I’d like to also say this: I entered the sleep token story on track 1 of Sundowning. TMBTE did represent an almost never before seen change in their listener base numbers and growth. As in I don’t believe I’ve ever seen something like it in my lifetime. I shared a lot of the emotion you expressed in your final video release before TMBTE. I said goodbye to the little known precious gem of my music collection and just had to welcome whatever came next. You helped me, Luke. We’re grateful to have your input and presence.
Much love everyone reading this!
That hit hard. Thank you for that. I have never felt so strongly for an album, let alone three. It truly amazes me every time I listen to it and always find something new to cherish in the music.
What a beautiful offering thank you so much for blessing us with this and ty Alex. I am so touched by your message and it was so appreciated ❤️🫶 I am sending all my love through the ether
Everything in this video was well-written and well rendered: thank you for the message ! Now He heals 💛
I'm very new to Sleep Token. And since they magically appeared, my eyes are open and I am awake! The range of emotions they bring through the lyrics and the melodies are magical, thought provoking and healing. 🖤
this video is beautiful - the end had me weeping 😭
thank you for writing such a wonderful script, and thank you to alex for delivering it with such conviction 💖
That was a truly beautiful interpretation and I think you have managed to put into words so many of our scrambled thoughts thank you so much for sharing this
So very moved by all of the dedication and work you put into this friend. There's so much love for the music and band poured into this and it shows.
Hey Amelie!
