The winged insect and funeral pyre is a dope way of saying he’s like a moth to the flame and he is uncontrollably drawn to what has died
Glad someone else caught that as well
Been obsessed with this band for 5 years. Unmatched writing and eclectic musicianship.
Eclectic musicianship is the perfect way to describe them to people, it’s how I describe them to people. If you don’t like a large range of music they probably aren’t for you, but if you do, they are one of the best things to happen to music 🤙
@@alexthefossilguy2754 Thats a good take. For me, they are a mix of everything I love. I also found the latest Bad Omens album very well done.
Yes !!! I love so many genres... so to me they have everything. I love them.
They simply are phenomenal, Vessel is a golden soul in my opinion. He is such a sweetheart, you need to watch them live.
Vessel’s lyrics are just brilliant.
This band make you feel. WORSHIP ❤
Sleep Token are the best evolution of musical talent of our time. Absolutely, every day, Worship.
BREAKING NEWS!!!!! TWENTY ONE PILOTS ARE COMING OUT WITH CONTENT AND ANOTHER ALBUM!!!! time to finish the journey!!
Take the dive man. I haven’t felt a certain way about listening to music for like 10 years. Everything felt the same to me until I discovered ST a year ago. Many will vicariously rediscover them through you including myself.
Oh wow I honestly didn't expect you to take Sleep Token well, let alone listen to them cause I seemed to have mistakenly assumed they weren't really your style. I haven't listened to everything from them but from what I gathered about them it is actually an entire overarching story about the singer (Vessel) being visited by a goddess named Sleep and all their songs are said to be proof of devotion to the goddess. Other things I saw was that it's a love story between Vessel and the goddess, but again I'm not as crazy of a fan as most for them, I just like their songs a lot and looking for their meaning is a fun pass time. Thank you for reacting to it and if you have more taste for them, Euclid is another one of my favorites. Or i saw another person say listen to them all, both are good options. Im currently looking for time to listen to everything myself.
As a hardcore fan since the release of Telomeres for TPWBYT, who has listened to their entire discography in order enough times to lose count, I HIGHLY recommend starting from the very beginning and working your way down in release date order. Thank me later when you're done. Break it into an album a day if you need to, but the first two EPs, their few singles in-between albums, and the deluxe covers & singles from Sundowning will be easy to mix in with that also (you HAVE to include the singles, including the Hey Ya cover!)
I genuinely mean it, release date order, the ENTIRE discography. Pick up a month of Tidal's CD HiFi tier for $10 before you start if you have a decent sound setup (anything that isn't Bluetooth will work just fine, even your car stereo if it has AUX or USB audio)
I can even help make sure your Windows or whatever settings are setup properly to support playing the better quality - or, if you use Android with a USB-C to AUX adapter, that will work with the Tidal app too, it will request permission to control the USB so it can raise the settings of it
EDIT: Tidal's CD HiFi tier is $10/mo, I'm subscribed to their studio master tier for $20/mo because I've been writing a cool thing called libremedia that supports logging in with Tidal :P
@@JoshuaDoesTech This this this! One of the best musical experiences I have ever had was the day I decided to sit down with headphones and listened to all three albums without stoppping.
This is what I came to say@@JoshuaDoesTech
@@TheFlagnard2 Now do yourself a solid and run the whole discography, not just the album trilogy! Break it up into sessions if needed like I suggested, but it's incredible to just let it play through
There is a narrative woven through their music but honestly nobody knows exactly what it is other than the emotions it evokes. 🙃 It's all very metaphorical and can be viewed through many different perspectives so I think it's all to be taken however you want. But they do love puzzles. So it lends itself to an attempt to put the pieces together and realizing that everyone ended up with a different picture, even if we all started with the same pieces. The band doesn't talk or do interviews about meaning or plot, and since they're anonymous we are only left with the content itself, which may be the point. It's a mystery that doesn't really exist to be decisively solved. They're like a liminal space in musical form.
His split from his ex girlfriend, likely in large part due to a car crash.
It's not hard to piece together if you know his last music project and actually read the lyrics.
@DioThermidor Wow. And if I was a casual listener and didn't want to dig beyond the anonymity and would rather take the material as intended? I am "actually" familiar with the lyrics (and backstories) and unless Vessel were to ever tell us exactly what it means it's arrogant to assume your interpretation is the only correct one. There are those that believe the car crash is a metaphor for their entire relationship and not a literal car crash, as well as Eden being an idea or state of being and not an actual place.
@@beelzbop Read the lyrics.
Fucks sake. Even just the lyrics of granite. Don't even try to tell me otherwise.
And, watch that tone. Know your place.
@@jojothermidor I'm not going to engage but I am curious where you think my place is.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND going back to the beginning of Sleep Token, and listening in order. The lyrics/callbacks will light you up. Expertly written.
So many more good songs you haven't heard yet. Dive in with us and enjoy.
You should react to the whole album It's a masterpiece of modern art. Also, us fans LOVE when new people find our band. It will help greatly to hear this song again once you have more context from the other albums or even from earlier in this one. It's all part of a larger story. Worship!
This was not on my bingo card after sending you dark signs as one of my options back in February on patreon. I’m here for it though. So happy you’re hearing them now!
This is an excellent place to start your sleep token dive. TMBTE is a seminal song that gives you a true taste of the band. They laugh at genre and have many influences including Jazz. I would highly encourage you to go from the beginning and listen in chronological order. Like the other comment says, there is a general narrative and/or trend to the songs. Each of their albums is a concept piece and they fit together well as a whole trilogy. Even their eps are significant. Frankly their lore is deep and cryptic. I don't subscribe to it and think that most of the lyrics are relationship centered. Good luck and enjoy the unique music!
Most I really gathered is a goddess and Vessel having a thing. Some I've heard say they are in a one sided relationship, with Vessel loving the goddess. But i haven't listened to everything haha
Gotta start at Sundowning big dog. You're at the second to last song on their latest album.
If you start at the beginning you won't regret it
Enjoy this ride you're beginning. Their discography from start to finish is an incredible emotional journey and you can really hear their progression as a writer and the growth of their musicianship.
Nice reaction. I enjoyed your contemplation of the lyrics. I highly suggest you start at the beginning of their journey. They've been playing the long game since 2016 and paving a long road full of artistic merit and diversity. Plus many of us will gladly follow you on your journey so we can do it again. Haha.
Some things make more sense if you listen from the beginning of their discography. I would definitely recommend listening to the songs in order on the album. Vessel's voice and writing are phenomenal as is II (2) on drums.
"When we were made it was no accident" calls back to the first song on the album.
Most if not all of their songs are about Love and a previous relationship. Just have different poetic ways of saying it
Obviously there’s amazing intricacies to find and things to look into tho. This telling the story of their 3 records in just the first few verses for example.
Definitely go down the rabbit hole of Sleep Token. You will not be disappointed
insects are attracted to light ... hence I'm a winged insect you're a funeral pyre possible winged insects get drawn to the flames and die in them
Think bug zapper.
I honestly LOVE to start people of with the very beginning of Sundowning, which is this band's first album, especially because there's an extremely meticulously crafted story here throughout the trilogy of albums.
However, if you're just wanting to get a feel for the SOUND of the band, and all they can do musically, this song is the quintessential starting point.
Would love to see you listen to Left Behind or Forgotten by The Plot In You
21 pilots LETS GO HOMIE
You should definitely check out their entire Take Me Back to Eden album. Before you get to Euclid though you should listen to The Night Does Not Belong to God which is the first song off their first album Sundowning
Great breakdown dude.
Glad to see I’m not the only homeschooler to have discovered Sleep Token!
You look confused at the end. He told you he has a patient violence
Just a heads up that twenty one pilots have started teasing new music (updated album covers on streaming services, mailed cryptic letters to fans from 'Dema' and placed posters in different cities around the word with their new logo), fans are guessing it will be out by the end of the month, keep your eyes peeled!
The mix noises you liked at the beginning are very similar with a lion's roar and whale sounds.
Sleep token are quite lyrically heavy and themes (like bitting and teeth) repeat through out their discography.
In here he says "grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire", "come now bite through this wires" and "I don't know what has its teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger". These "teeth" are hurting him but also have the power to release him from "captivity".
It can get quite deep but I guess the main point is for you to find the meaning you want in their music and lyrics. This meaning should be based on your life experiences and what you need to hear as they are vague for this reason and the band will probably never elaborate on their lore.
Enjoyed your reaction, looking forward to more ❤
Take Me Back To Eden, both the individual song and the whole album lyrically talks about a love relationship that started as a good and happy one and as the story progresses it actually transforms into an oppressing and toxic relationship.
I don't particularly like when people start with this song because you don't have the context you gain from the songs before it.
You were talking it out. You almost got there. Problem is you started at the END of the trilogy. A lot of ST stuff recalls back to previous content. You need to start the story from the first album "Sundowning" and eventually through "TMBTE". You'll enjoy it. Bouncing around isn't going to help you, it's an emotional ride.
The album is based around the track Vore. Google vore and many of the other song lyrics make sense. Of course, we can read in a lot of our own feelings and experiences to the lyrics. That is the brilliance of them.
I wish I understood vessels lyrics more cause I never have the slightest clue what he’s talking about most the time lol I have a hard time following this story over the 3 albums everyone talks about. I just enjoy getting lost in the music. Amazing band
Dude you got buff. And please check out Ren: Hi Ren. It’ll blow your mind.
As someone who was homeschooled... "hold up what is phosphorescence" is the most homeschooled thing ever
Zayn song (tu hai kaha) react
I have only been a fan for 6 months but they just sucked me in and now I can't listen to anyone else. I started with TMBTE and I love that album but then I went back and for me, the earlier music is magical.
You should react to the song "Blood Sport" The room below version. It's just Vessel and his piano pouring out his soul. Amazing.
What I've learned about about Sleep Token is that yes, there's a deep story about Vessel and Sleep.... but there's a backstory there that comes from his life. I don't know exactly what has happened to him but all the emotions he sings with are very real and the songs lyrics are written so well. I'm addicted. Some other songs on the new album to check out: Rain , Ascentionism and Apparition.
For older songs: Blood Sport (room below), Hypnosis, Alkaline, and Higher.
Can you react to Coldplay - Charlie brown live version?
It is the song that started the light bracelets trend at concerts. Coldplay started it. This is also a fan favourite song. Its a underrated single.
You gotta listen to Skin and Bones by David Kushner, after your reaction to Daylight it would be incredible
The song can be applied to many situations in life. You can’t truely understand this song or what he is sing about unless you listen to the album from start to finish and even their discography for that matter.
Mainframe maybe being his brain itself?
“Is he talking to God?”
Worship.
Please do A reaction video on Conan Gray "Alley Rose" from he's new album.🙏🏻🙏🏻 ❤️ From India
He’s in love bro …..he’s a moth trying to get to her.
I recomend you to react to rapper EdoMajkaaa song "Prikaze"
It’s a story in which sleep is almost like a romantic relationship. Sleep being represented by a deity.
Please react to Diamonds From Sierra Leone by Kanye west.
It’s the best thing ever made
Suffi I’m real sorry but ur missing out on something.Zayn dusk till dawn acoustic version.Check it out now!!!!
I think it’s about the life and death of a living soul. The soul dies by drowning in the beginning as his weightlessness in the Crystal waters begins to recede . As his buoyancy during life leaves him, and death takes hold, and he sinks to the bottom. I think the middle section of the song is about life, and the disappointments there in that have taken him from his beautiful Eden, and at the end once he realizes death, which has taken hold of him, won’t let him go, and he screams out to God that he just wants to go back to his beloved Eden.
First time I’ve heard that metaphorical explanation put forth, I like how well it jibes with the overall body of their work!
Bro please reaction zayn love like this🙏
Can you please react to good to be by Mark Ambor, it is the best song i have heard in a long time. 😊😊
pleaseee react to hopelessly devoted to you by harry styles🙏🏼
Zayn Malik collab with aur
The interpretation of talking to God, although possible, is unlikely in the UK. Most of the UK are apathetic about religion, we don't really have the same Christian culture here. That, of course, doesn't mean that it can't speak to YOU in those terms, and that's the fantastic thing about music. We all hear our own reflections among the noise.
Ren - Seven Sins (But get some Ren backstory info first)
Unrelated. Please do cinematic orchestra 12 min to build a home short feature th-cam.com/video/9_NPE8O7oDU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9Nm_xDgW10CN5spo .
It will 100% be worth your time (though i worn you, it will break you). Its two of their songs back to back to show the complete story
OVERCOMPENSATE
Yes I keep checking if he's reacted!! Come on suffi!
Can you please react to a paper Crown by Alec Benjamin❤
The singer writes and performs everything except for drums.
Yeah this band will be the next TOOL. Just saying
