I know I could find out, but I choose not to. They didn't want us to know and not only am I doing it out of respect for them, I'm doing it out of appreciation of what they give us. It's the least I can do to repay them.
I love the drum roll. That made me laugh so hard. I love your reactions. The music is getting deeper and more complex. You hear new things opening themselves to you every time you listen to it. When you guys are done with the reactions are ST becoming part of your everyday music rotation? How are you abstaining from the next song as you go along? Okay Lore time (as I see it): Vessel’s being around Sleep makes him feel like he is waiting for the other shoe to drop. He’s SO co-dependent here. With good reason, I mean, Sleep has promised him so much. He has blindly followed her every move with hopes that things will get better for them. But he can’t help but feel like she would rather be somewhere else. “I can lift you up, your body is mostly blood like water a perfect flood, engulfing me again.” He’s telling her you are here and physical and I can touch you and love you. He relishes getting lost in her. “And I can tell you won’t remember my cracking bones the trauma we can’t regrow just as you leave again.” This is the physical and psychological toll Sleep is putting on him by leaving again and again. Not seeing him as a valued part of her life. Vessel is beginning to see the writing on the wall here. He isn’t stupid, he’s in love. And there is a limit no matter the person at which they will choose to continue suffering or speak up. This is Vessel’s moment, “and we imitate a story of perfect days, a ballad we fabricate as you forget your words again” she’s not even trying to be in this with him. She can’t even care for the story SHE IS A PART OF. “And is this all you need? To merely pretend to be in love with me?” Fucking brutal. “Forgetting the agony again.” He will still sacrifice his knowing this isn’t a good situation, should she merely stay for a moment longer and give him one ounce of compassion or empathy. This is something I think we have all done once or twice to try and bargain for what we want from other people. To his dismay, Sleep again leaves despite his offerings, despite his loyalty, she leaves because she can’t be sussed to give a shit and she knows it’s harmful. She wants the distress. She’s making a meal of the poor bastard. Worship.
Been enjoying your Sleep Token reactions so far. I like that you seem to know a bit about music and are able to really enjoy it. I don't know how much into metal you are, but if you're into metalcore, I'd be curious to hear what you think of Bad Omens. They're another band that exploded in popularity because of TikTok in the last year or so, same thing as what happened with Sleep Token. Their first two albums (they have 3 albums) are full on metalcore and pretty heavy (compared to Sleep Token, I mean) with a lot of screaming. Their last album, they started to experiment quite a bit with pop elements, which works really well for them. And Noah's voice (lead singer) has gotten better and better overtime. Anyway, I don't want to sound like a fanboy, I just like to give context when I suggest a band lol
@@RealLifeCoupleReact No problem, happy to be here! Forgot to mention it, but when you choose the song, just make sure not to choose their latest single (the one ft. Poppy). It's a good song, but it's not really representative of their full sound (I don't want to spoil anything in case you listen to it later).
2 does the electronic drum parts he has drum pad that has clap sample program into it and he can hit with his drum stick. same with all other electronic drum sounds 2 does them with triggers and pads incorporated into his kit for live shows.
I've just recently heard quite a few people get this saying wrong. Obviously, it should be "they never fail to amaze," and not "they never fail to disappoint," which means the exact opposite!🤣
Every time I hear Levitate, I decide its my favourite song. Then I hear another track and it changes to that. Always high quality tracks. Many people close their eyes and drift away 😊
Personally, I don't think we'll have to wait too long before there's a new album. They were signed by RCA Records just two weeks ago, and I don't think RCA are going to want to wait too long before there is something new to release. Great reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
@Bibyte I didn't give this song much attention either, until I heard Vessel sing it with just the piano at the From The Room Below concert at the Lafayette. Then I fell in love with this song.
First time I hear about Vessel living in Brighton, where does that come from haha. Are you saying I shouldn't have moved away (literally 3 weeks ago) hahaha
The video frames are from Iceland. Considering your location (UK), you're a three and a half hour flight from there, so I strongly recommend to find time to visit this place, because you'll literally see what's the real content behind the phrase from the lyrics "Up where the angels inhabit".
come on let them discover it on they're own if they want to.We don't say names we keep it to ourselves or never look so we can keep that mystery and mystique feeling and just enjoy the incredible music they have blessed us with... Worship 🫶
Alot of fans know his identity, but keep it to ourselves because that's what he wants. X
That's what we want too, thank you for the comment!

We love our drum roll! Thank you so much for your time and effort, we love you!!
@@RealLifeCoupleReact I’m having fun watching you guys and breaking these songs down with you! Much love
Good work guys, thanks!
Thank you so much :-)
Good grief. Gorgeous on so many levels. 😮 Thank you for this introduction to this magnificent music!
Aww thank you for being here and commenting!
Listening to Sleep Token with headphones on, eyes closed just swaying away is an absolute must for this band! 💯🫶🏻
Amazing, you little things that you hear!! thanks for commenting

Thank you so much, we are going to do a Bad Omens song! Thanks for being here!

Amazing, can't wait to check out his drumeo vids
8:40 - "They never fail to disappoint"
Not sure that's what you meant 🤣
I've just recently heard quite a few people get this saying wrong. Obviously, it should be "they never fail to amaze," and not "they never fail to disappoint," which means the exact opposite!🤣
hahaha this made Belle laugh, yes youre correct! Thanks for the comment :-)
I mean yeah you can definitely find the identity of vessel if you wanted to but if you want to keep the mystery alive, just let it be
We want to keep it a mystery :-)
Every time I hear Levitate, I decide its my favourite song. Then I hear another track and it changes to that. Always high quality tracks. Many people close their eyes and drift away 😊
Incredible, we really like this one!

I wonder what's next
Thank you so much and thats awesome! Hopefully they release something soon!
Y'all should do Loathe they're from Liverpool and there's a sleep token cover of one of their best songs "Is it Really You"
Will check this out, thanks for the comment :-)
Never gave this one much attention, but hard to give all the songs the treatment they deserve.
There's alot of them for sure!

I think an Iceland trip is in order, thank you so much for your comment!
Welcome! And... have a nice journey! :)
If you knew or heard of a man with a last name if Faulkner when you lived in Brighton, you may have known the artist now known as Vessel.
come on let them discover it on they're own if they want to.We don't say names we keep it to ourselves or never look so we can keep that mystery and mystique feeling and just enjoy the incredible music they have blessed us with... Worship 🫶
We will keep the mystery a mystery but thanks for commenting and being here
Its british @mattandchels
Awwww thats so kind, we love those guys! Thanks for your comment :-)
