That’s because a lot of people are very ignorant and uneducated and think that metal is just screaming and angry. When so many types are the complete opposite. You are right it is very sad but so many people are missing out on such wonderful music.
I was a senior in high school when this song was released, and I absolutely loved it. But it wasn't until my mid 20's when i fully understood what this song meant. As a kid I grew up with parents who treated me like dirt. I had friends who were never there for me. I'd count down the days until I could leave, and start my own life. And now as an adult I can't help but to look back; all those emotions, feelings, and pain come rushing back as if they never left. I can't help but thinking if things could've been different. This song is therapeutic and reminds me not to dwell on the past, but to live in the moment. And I'm currently the happiest I've ever been. I'm married to the woman of my dreams, I'll be a homeowner in a few months, and when the time is right we'll be starting a family of our own
Good onya mate!!... hope it turns out all gold for you....I'm 51 years old and loved songs like you do many years ago...and I'm still loving them now and many have inspired my life!👍
@@JoshMcSwain it takes a bit to like some of it to rly understand it. Metal is also such a big genre. There are so incredible many sub genres that mostly don't sound any like eachoher. Finding your taste within is long journey
INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep lyrics: When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down Thanks Insomnium .
Holy fucking shit I discovered this band just now and wow I am honestly amazed by how good this is. I've always been a fan of melodeath but this is just.. This is a completely new level
Wintersun can't touch Insomnium. Their self-titled release was good, Time was decent but overdone, and Jari is a whiny ass. Insomnium; however, has been consistently putting out solid albums, my favourite being ATWW. I may not like the recent albums as much, but they've all got great standout hits and are all cohesive, and Winter's Gate blew everyone out of the water.
Yeah I understand that, it can energize me sometimes, keep me going sometimes, and it has really helped me stay strong through some crazy difficult times. It also is just the music I want sometimes. I am amazed at how I have sensitive ears but still like metal, I would bring musician/concert earplugs which reduce noise volume while keeping sound very similar. There are so many different types of metal even now and I like lots of metal. I do like many genres though.
My wife loved this song. She passed from cance this year. But we got to see them live in Pittsburgh with Alestorm. That was f*cking amazing. Incredible band.
+Dystopia1980 Daylight Dies is definitely worth trying, but otherwise try atmospheric black metal, bands like Ghost Bath, Mare Cognitum and Vallendusk are on my playlist at the moment.
+Dystopia1980 Dark tranquility, Alestorms slower ones, several In Flames song in the early albums, Several Soilwork songs... Insomnium just does it all the time
Anathema dude listen some Silent Enigma, Alternative 4 or Judgement and you will see that you will find a lot of other band which are able to convey melancholy and sadness ..
+Dystopia1980 Draconian is a Doom metal band (in contrast), but they always give me a sense of despair and sadness. They also use 2 singers, 1 growler and one clean (female). Swallow The Sun has one singer doing both types of vocals.
The year was 2014. I was graduating high school and had a jeep wrangler with a crazy sound system in it. Always in my passenger seat was the girl who I was crazy about. This album was always blasting along with other amazing metal bands. We ended up going to prom together and blasted this in the limo on the way there. Its 2019 and were still together and still blasting this amazing album constantly. 🤘
glad to hear you were into this music. the song actually does no justice unless listened to through headphones. but i had a great sound system in my car and would always blast this reguradless!!
This is literally the song that got me into metal, and the reason Insomnium will forever be my favourite band. Been listening to them for 10 years now, and i genuinely don’t even consider them music. Its just Art
Whenever I get trapped in the past, frustrated with myself and unable to concentrate, I remember this song and specifically the part "We need to slow down..so I can catch you". I close my eyes, one deep breath, and another. This song is a warm hug, a gentle wind that blows away the dark clouds.
It's crazy how most people think all metal is too aggressive and people who worship the devil. Yet music nowadays talk about the devil, sex violence on the radio.
I’ve been listening to them for almost 6 years and a couple of months ago I literally had my last 40$ in my account and i was in a vinyl store and found their vinyl “its not easy to find these types of vinyls where i live” I literally spent all the money i had left to get this album in vinyl and went back home and just sat there broke but i was enjoying the vinyl. Such an amazing band.
I honestly can't wait to be that mom lmao like just showing my future kids these songs I love so much and wilding out with them getting hyped up doing air guitar and headbanging
One and a half million views does not even begin to compare to other hugely popular but monotonous pop songs. That is not fair, I blame the teens with too much free time on their hands :D
+soupflood A teen with too much free time on their hands here. It saddens me that the vast majority of people in my age group would rather listen to the extremely dumbed-down lyrically, and almost cringy relationship orientated, pop singers, which only gained their immense popularity through their decent looks, lacking both talent and personality, I'm looking at you, Kayne. Well, now that I have exposed everything I dislike about modern-pop music, I think get back to listening to Insomnium.
+MLG Pengu Yeah, but to be honest when you watch some singing contests on TV you quickly realize that the pop stars are stars for a reason. Many of the modern hit songs sound easy, but when you try to sing them yourself it just doesn't work at all. It's a myth that pop stars cannot sing. They can. At least most of them.
My god this song... this is my first time listening to it. I'm so touched, the hairs on my arms are standing up, a tear is rolling down my cheek, all of my worries have floated away and the weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Incredible. I've never felt this way about a song before. Pure magic!
Really good to see music helps someone else as much as it does me. This is my first time hearing these guys and they're my new favorite. But Zoe you should try the band In Flames if you haven't already. They changed my life for the better :))
Same way I felt when I first heard insomnium's song 'lose to night'. It's incredible how deeply music can affect us and make us feel. Insomnium is magic.
Purchased all of their albums. It's been more than a year and I still can't properly hear all of this awesomeness. Will take a while to enjoy! Watched them live in Seattle - was amazing 😍
+Michaela Kočovská Insomnium is supposed to be a word pertaining to dreams, with various interpretations of its meaning. It is unrelated to the sleeping disorder insomnia.

This is so fucking epic. I have discoverd Insomnium by this song. It's the most beautifull metal work of art I've known. Discovered week ago and already a fan.
Just what I was wishing for....Insomnium coming back in 2015 as headliners....August 24th at El Corazon....cool! Insomnium is the best band in the world.
- Hey guys let's call our band "Insomnium" because we never sleep - Hell yeah! - Fuck I'm in! - Wooo never sleep! - OK, now I've thought about a song, it's called "While we sleep". - Yeah man! - Holy shit that rocks! - All hail to sleep!
This is one of those songs that, when you discover it, you play it over and over and over... Christ, I've listened to it on repeat for the last week. Why the hell hadn't I heard it before? If music can be haunted, this song is evidence of it.
Markus Valhalla needs some serious credit for crushing it time after time with both Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum! Genuinely one of my favourite guitarists, and this solo is up there as one of my all time favourites! Such an emotive player!
#Jonathan Lesyk MPE...was! not anymore... only first 3 albums really counts! the old sound was no.1 in melodeath> th-cam.com/video/hRCbe_jGxBs/w-d-xo.html
The reality is that the instrumental is rather simple. The band is full of incredible musicians and artists which is where the phenomenal music comes from. The band has turned death metal into an art with their creative minds in the writing process to make the music so powerful, the beautiful poetry used as lyrics is simply bonus.
Metal genre are for people who are destined for it, who has deeper sense of taste in everything. Its a feeling to feel, no one can make the other person understand the beauty of it, if he/she hasn't been destined to.
No they are not. Stop putting your conspiracy/fantasy theories in this. It has nothing to do with it and there is no planet cruising the solar system. Don't be so ignorant.
If no astronomer has that stated its because we never went out you naive. And just to add we live on Mars. That is why sumerians called their gods planet Marduk, the Duke of Mars.
The crows flying around the dark sun is my favorite visual I have seen in any music video. Hauntingly beautiful and it reminds me of Dark Souls 3's final moments.
Still a timeless classic. Unmatched melodies and vibes and I hadn't even really read the lyrics til today after listening to it for almost 10 years. Truly a magical band.
I dont know why it makes me so damn emotional when he says "We need to slow down." Powerful. I feel like that is society in a nutshell. Why can't we just stop and talk with one another with love, compassion and faith randomly in public anymore? Why are we afraid of each other? We don't take the time to find the humanity in each other because we are swiping away on social media platforms that expose us to hate and divisive concepts. We need to slow down. So I can catch you. We need to slow down. So you can catch me.
Thank you..i've been disconnected with everything in my life for so long..i've always afraid to reply comments on anything because i think i will offend anyone on the internet..but this time i wouldnt care, just need to remind myself to be respectful to everyone..thank you for your message..i need to wake up from this sleep.
@@giovani1913 No, he's right. You can't trust anyone in this day and age, mostly because of social media always trying to stab people in the back, whether for politics monetization, popularity, hatred, or virtue signaling. It's sad and pathetic, but it's the way life is these days. It isn't that people have become afraid and unable to trust others. It's that the absolute scum of the earth have finally gained a platform where they can safely commit their heinous acts from with little to no repercussions.
Travel back in time with us! 🚀

INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep lyrics:
When your heart gives out and your love collapses
When the hand that never lets go is there no more
When you reap and sow only throe and resentment
When there's no one else but you to blame for
When all you ever wish for is to go back once more
When all you ever wish for is to change it all
When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret
When you dwell in the past unable to move on
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Build a wall of glass thick and deep
We hear but choose not to listen
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Set all the bridges in flaming fire
Leave all the love we had behind
When you realize that your life is a one-way road
When you realize that there's no point of return
When you understand that you can't go back anymore
When you understand you can only move onwards
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Build a wall of glass thick and deep
We hear but choose not to listen
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Set all the bridges in flaming fire
Leave all the love we had behind
Slow down
We need to slow down
We need to slow down so I can catch you
We need to slow down so I can catch you
We need to slow down so you can catch me
We need to slow down so I can catch you
We need to slow down so you can catch me
Slow down
Thanks Insomnium .

My personal favorite song from them is "The New Beginning". So many good memories with that song. If you haven't already, you should check it out.
The dark atmosphere and raw emotion in this metal track are captivating.
Well put in one sentence. ;)
The song that got me into insomnium, nordic metal, Scandinavian folk music and melodeath and extreme metal all at the same time.

This is real metal.
maybe may not be
100%
I’m 50+ and I love metal. Gothic metal as well as.
This the music of old people, now.

When your heart gives out and your love collapses
When the hand that never lets go is there no more
When you reap and sow only throe and resentment
When there's no one else but you to blame it for
When all you ever wish for is to go back once more
When all you ever wish for is to change it all
When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret
When you dwell in the past unable to move on
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Build a wall of glass thick and deep
We hear but choose not to listen
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep
Still the bridge is enflamed with fire
Leave all the love we had behind
When you realize that your life is a one-way road
When you realize that there's no point of return
When you understand that you can't go back anymore
When you understand you can only move onwards
And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep

And we drift far away in our dreams
Gather further distance while we sleep

Melodeath will always have a special place in my heart... Its raw and beautiful
Insomnium's lyrics are not a knife in the heart, no. They are a sledgehammer in the gut, leaving you broken and wanting to curl up and cry.
+Kavishka Rahul man, you have one Rocket League team icon.
salut sinon
+Kavishka Rahul Couldn't have said it better!
Thanks :) actually took me a while to compose ;P
+Kavishka Rahul Negative. They are the story of suffering, and tell you to push on through the darkness.
***** as in Through The Shadows. I know, but you've gotta admit, some songs (Mortal Share, anyone?) are pretty dark.
This is so fucking epic. I have discoverd Insomnium by this song. It's the most beautifull metal work of art I've known. Discovered week ago and already a fan.
Same! Insomnium is awesome
it is awesome
I saw them live last january, they were the opening for Dark Tranquillity, epic band !
Come on bro, don't lose time and go check theirs first albums too. They're even better to my opinion.
Check out some Be'lakor
stillll nothing blasts the same way it did when it first came out back then
unmatched intro
2014 great times.
I was in high school in this epoch. So l liked listen this while I’m drew mangás.
The greatest melodeath album of 2014.... possibly of all time
Definitely one of the best Melodic Death Metal tracks ever written ❤
Exactly 10 years ago this was released (april the 15th). Damn, time flies fast.
I really cried with this song. Each line describes my thoughts..... How much I want things to go back to the way they were before.
Better days await brother. Listen to "Through the Shadows" one more time. Life has ups and downs, things will be better for you, better than before.
@@mohammadvasegh1754 For some people, not me though. You can't fix a damn brain injury and go back to what you used to have.
It's how we emerge from the darkness. I take those dark times as a blessing now.
Nothing ever goes back to the way they were before. But that doesnt have to be a bad thing. Time is a great healer my friend
I'm assuming you are young. If wrong, forgive me, but you have no idea how bad things can really get.
Just what I was wishing for....Insomnium coming back in 2015 as headliners....August 24th at El Corazon....cool! Insomnium is the best band in the world.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Jerry Myers best band in the world? sure they got the best melody's. but their live perfomance sucks ass.
Derpy Viking me loves your screen name...just had to make that known sir
jfb rko mkay.
Jerry Myers I'll be there at el co too!
I was intensely high last night and ended up bawling my eyes out at the beauty of this music video. It was a very emotional experience.
Their music is something that’ll be with me forever. It has helped me through some really really dark times
- Hey guys let's call our band "Insomnium" because we never sleep
- Hell yeah!
- Fuck I'm in!
- Wooo never sleep!
- OK, now I've thought about a song, it's called "While we sleep".
- Yeah man!
- Holy shit that rocks!
- All hail to sleep!
It's Insomnium, not Insomnia. Insomnium in Latin means "Nightmare"
This is one of those songs that, when you discover it, you play it over and over and over... Christ, I've listened to it on repeat for the last week. Why the hell hadn't I heard it before? If music can be haunted, this song is evidence of it.
Same here man. Everytime I read the lyrics it brings me to tears. I've heard many bands, but these guys are really a one of a kind.
One of the greatest song in metal history.
God bless Insomnium.
This is just a classic.
Midnight
Mind full of thoughts lost love, resentment and remorse
And this song comes.
Markus Valhalla needs some serious credit for crushing it time after time with both Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum! Genuinely one of my favourite guitarists, and this solo is up there as one of my all time favourites! Such an emotive player!
VANHALA lol
+MusicMakesYouBraver well corrected haha. Never noticed the correction!
Liam Davey Looks like our boy Mark has ascended to godhood C;
Or einherjerhood, at the very least.
Masterpiece ❤
05:47 forward is pure magic
I'm nearby 60 years jung. Metal konserved my mind and soul🤘✊
Best band on earth Period.
Cheers from a 51 year old in the USA
NorsemanUSA mors principium est is the best band
#Jonathan Lesyk MPE...was! not anymore... only first 3 albums really counts!
the old sound was no.1 in melodeath> th-cam.com/video/hRCbe_jGxBs/w-d-xo.html
Sabin Ionescu I've got "the unborn""inhumanity""liberation=termination". I know this album.
The reality is that the instrumental is rather simple. The band is full of incredible musicians and artists which is where the phenomenal music comes from. The band has turned death metal into an art with their creative minds in the writing process to make the music so powerful, the beautiful poetry used as lyrics is simply bonus.
What a masterpiece; the way the different instruments and voices work together is beautiful. I deem this a piece of art.
A masterpiece
In my humble opinion it's the perfect metal song... Growls... Singing... Fast and slow bits and even killer riffs at the end
Metal genre are for people who are destined for it, who has deeper sense of taste in everything. Its a feeling to feel, no one can make the other person understand the beauty of it, if he/she hasn't been destined to.
Perfect summation 🤘🏽
Still I bring as many people as I can to this genere, one of my friends was a Pop-head untill I make him listen to the likes of Opeth and Wintersun
cringe thing to say. Everyone has their own tastes
@@illustriousindividual1077 So you have never felt the feel he is talking about. You listen to music. We experience it.
Aha
Niilo's voice is absolute perfection, and the harmonies with Ville give me goosebumps. They are true masters of their craft.
Those Finnish muzafakaz have been making my day, the day of 45+ man, for about 10 years.
Home town guys rocking hard!!! 💀💀💀💀
Such an under-recognised band. Everybody should know of Insomnium.
The soul of OG is in Insomnium now. What a prefect mix!
Yess!
Can't believe I've only just found this. Incredible.
Welcome aboard pimp.
You may be late to the party, but you’re more than welcome here, brother.
Check out: Be'Lakor Countless Skies
Hell yeah, they have at least 10 golden nuggets and entire album Heart Like a Grave is grade A.
the only bad thing about this song is the fact that it has an end but we always can hit "watch again" ! :)
First time hearing this, I will be 61 years old next month. This song fu-king rips.
Insomnium's music speaks to me like no other band. And this song is no exception. Fucking love it.
One of the best Melodic Death Metal Songs ever!
I love this song ❤
Criminally underrated band.
Its not underrated lol
We need to slow down, so I can catch you.
We need to slow down, so you can catch me.
They are deliberately talking about the planet, in 2014 it was cruising between our orbit heading towards Venus.
Now it is between us and the Sun.
you mean niburu
Islander what planet ?
No they are not. Stop putting your conspiracy/fantasy theories in this. It has nothing to do with it and there is no planet cruising the solar system. Don't be so ignorant.
If no astronomer has that stated its because we never went out you naive. And just to add we live on Mars. That is why sumerians called their gods planet Marduk, the Duke of Mars.
I cannot stop listening to this song. It's just pure heaven.
An AI Chatbot recommended me this. Gotta say AI has been improving really well lol.
inspiring
This is some soul cleansing material, man. Melodic death metal at its finest!
This song has a strong message. It will somewhat inspire you to get back on on your feet and keep going..
The crows flying around the dark sun is my favorite visual I have seen in any music video.
Hauntingly beautiful and it reminds me of Dark Souls 3's final moments.
This band’s songs rescued me from the edge of depression, incredibly.
Still a timeless classic. Unmatched melodies and vibes and I hadn't even really read the lyrics til today after listening to it for almost 10 years. Truly a magical band.
I dont know why it makes me so damn emotional when he says "We need to slow down." Powerful. I feel like that is society in a nutshell. Why can't we just stop and talk with one another with love, compassion and faith randomly in public anymore? Why are we afraid of each other? We don't take the time to find the humanity in each other because we are swiping away on social media platforms that expose us to hate and divisive concepts. We need to slow down. So I can catch you. We need to slow down. So you can catch me.
@Mo'mina Makin i guess u are wrong. You shouldn't be like this
are you an indigo?
No slowing down, life is a marathon not a sprint you asshole
Thank you..i've been disconnected with everything in my life for so long..i've always afraid to reply comments on anything because i think i will offend anyone on the internet..but this time i wouldnt care, just need to remind myself to be respectful to everyone..thank you for your message..i need to wake up from this sleep.
@@giovani1913 No, he's right. You can't trust anyone in this day and age, mostly because of social media always trying to stab people in the back, whether for politics monetization, popularity, hatred, or virtue signaling. It's sad and pathetic, but it's the way life is these days.
It isn't that people have become afraid and unable to trust others. It's that the absolute scum of the earth have finally gained a platform where they can safely commit their heinous acts from with little to no repercussions.
Insomnium doesn't make music, they make goosebumps
