Love High Water 😍 that last line "I can't hold myself together" is so gut wrenching, like he's screaming from the depths of his soul, it gets me every time 😢
This one is my favourite songs from them. The lyrics, the mellow giddy guitars in the intro. Beautiful drum work. The static synth. All the way to end with an easy but technical outro. The sadden desperation in the last line. This song is just immaculate in my books. ❤️
Someone in a comment on the main video said that this song when the breakdown comes it reminds them of continuous crashing waves coming over them and ever since then I've never not been able to feel the same thing it's so powerful!
Something I love about this outro - the ending part eerily feels like drowning (under the waves of the High Water). The held notes on the guitar are the moments that you are above the waves, only for a moment getting a breath, then back to the rhythmic part as you are battered below the surface against the rocks, trying to get that next breath. And then, it finally closes with Vessel screaming into the reverb/space, fading into focus as the listener is slowly pulled deeper as the reality sets in, until suddenly, abruptly, it all sits still. Quiet. Worship!
This is one of my absolute favorite ST songs. It sounds so beautiful and then it builds into that breakdown, but he's singing about longing for someone as he tries to distract himself while waiting on some holy favor and basking in the solace of regret. That breakdown feels more like an actual emotional breakdown, like the song itself are his deep emotions. I remember when I first heard the lyrics "When the mouth of infinity buries its teeth in me, I'll smile through the agony for you. And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence, and you'll never have to bear the weight of two.". Those lines felt like an emotion punch in the gut and they still feel like that every time I hear them. It feels like Vessel is literally showing us a glimpse into his soul on this one, and doing so with a great sounding song. Worship
Wow…. I can’t believe you two are almost done with album #2 😲 Missing Limbs will make you cry so make sure to bring tissues. I also can’t wait for the Take Me Back To Eden journey to begin!! I’m here for it so don’t keep us waiting too long ladies ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Definitely one of my favorite ST songs, I was refreshing right at 9am to see this reaction 😅 A lot of people think the next song, Missing Limbs, is the emotional climax of the album, but for me High Water is absolutely the big emotional peak of this album. Missing Limbs is like the dust settling at the bottom of the ocean after the shipwreck. This song is, as he says, where he just can’t hold himself together and breaks down. Such a big emotional release. The song also has a sound kind of like waves if you listen closely. Like it feels like you’re in the ocean just being tossed around by the waves, bobbing up and down… tl;dr I love this song so much and have so many feelings about it 😅
Great reaction yall. In this song when there's no drumming I feel the sense of falling or resigning to defeat and as soon as the drums kick in its the feeling of strength and pushing and fighting back. Almost like wings fluttering wildy. ❤
I feel like the drum solo at the end is 2s little vocal part. There's so much emotion in that little 1:30 drum solo. I feel like if you saw his face during the solo it would be wrought with pain. I'm a sucker for outros. A good outro is one of my favorite things, and can elevate a song for me over others. Maybe that's what gets me from loving it like every other Sleep Token song, to it being my favorite.
When the mouth of infinity buries its teeth in me I'll smile through the agony for you And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence And you'll never bear the weight of two 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This song grew on me. I was unsure at first like you Dallas, but yeah, when II comes in with the beats, definitely elevated that song. almost done, one more on this album. Then their last album 😀 Can't wait Worship ❤
This song is just so devastating. Which means I absolutely love it obviously lol also I love the little smile you get Dallas when II starts in these reactions haha
yay high water! this song is so good! if you liked this one then yall will like Fields of Elation by Sleep Token, that one is really good too. also yall need to do Euclid by sleep token that song is a masterpiece. but before euclid you have to listen to" the night does not belong to god" by sleep token.
This song is beautiful,I still think it has something to do with his partner losing a child because of the line where he says and you'll never bear the weight of two.Beautiful reaction ladies... Worship 🙏🫶
The next one is really gna get one of you. I'm betting it's Dallas. You mentioned waves...take a step back. You realize the whole theme of this album is water, right? Look at the journey....The videos...the very first song is titled Atlantic. The other 2 albums have themes too. Think of elements. I think the first one is wind. And the last is earth. If we follow it til it's end....the next would be fire. Maybe I'm wrong. Guess we'll see. Reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender. And I think somehow the elements coincide w emotions. The emotions we experience along our journey towards repair after a severed relationship. I think that's the journey vessel is taking us on and we don't even know it. It's so deep we can't even see it. It's why we cry and don't even know why. It's more sublime than we even know. He's a genius. He's using music to put together an emotional jigsaw puzzle right before our very ears and eyes and we can't even see it until he's done...or until he's close to done.
I can't wait until you get to the new record. TMBTE It's much heavier and progressed more than anything they've done. You gals are going to flip out lol. There's a reason that record took them to where they are and considered record of the year.
Dallas - as a II fan you really need to watch Drumeo An offering (featuring II’s only recorded interview and loads of his live drumming). Thank me later 🤙🏻
If you ever get a chance to bounce back to Periphery, would love to see your reaction to their song “Lune”. The song is an incredible experience. An epic fantasy feel to it. ❤🇦🇺
If you do react to it, make sure you do the album version. No need for any visuals or live footage, you’ll feel like you’ve watched a movie by the end of it 😅❤❤❤
Love High Water 😍 that last line "I can't hold myself together" is so gut wrenching, like he's screaming from the depths of his soul, it gets me every time 😢
That’s probably because he is 😂
Also the last “For the time being!” Hits so hard
Probably my favorite Sleep Token song. Lyrically crushing
one of the best written songs on an album where all the songs are S tier
This one is my favourite songs from them. The lyrics, the mellow giddy guitars in the intro. Beautiful drum work. The static synth. All the way to end with an easy but technical outro. The sadden desperation in the last line. This song is just immaculate in my books. ❤️

@TheGirfGirf this is it sir!! 👏🏼👏🏼
One of my favourites easily. I saw them live last month and felt blessed but at the same time was sad this wasn't played.

High Water is one of my favourite tracks of theirs tbh..But then I love just about all of them...
"Basking in the solace of regret" what a line ❤ ooh snap I've got the same ST t shirt 👍 Glad you are enjoying your musical journey.

High Water hit hard today for personal reasons, so I cried the whole time 😂 next one might hurt even more, and I know y'all will be crying too lol
❤
So gut wrenching, and II IS PHENOMENAL!!!!! ❤
This track effects me every single time I hear it... It is top 3 Sleep token Songs
I think you guys also shouldn't forget the song "is it really you" they covered. It's really good.
His best recorded vocals imo
I love love love this track. The ending is just relentless and the lyrics are just oooooof...... #worship
There's a theatrical quality to how Vessel sings.
MY FAVORITE SONG!!! IT HITS SO HARD LETS GOO GUYS!! WORSHIP.
Great reaction yall. In this song when there's no drumming I feel the sense of falling or resigning to defeat and as soon as the drums kick in its the feeling of strength and pushing and fighting back. Almost like wings fluttering wildy. ❤
The anguished screaming into the songs end is just perfection

Vessel's voice is always just mesmerizing.
One of my favourite songs ❤❤
Man. What a song. Perfection. ❤
So good! -Andrea
When the mouth of infinity buries its teeth in me
I'll smile through the agony for you
And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence
And you'll never bear the weight of two
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Can’t wait for you guys to listen to the entire Take Me Back To Eden album. You will love it. It’s amazing.
One of my favorites on this album, along with Atlantic. Amazing talent. ❤🙏
I felt the same - I was a little unsure of this one on my first listen. After a couple of plays, it's one of my favorites :)
This song grew on me. I was unsure at first like you Dallas, but yeah, when II comes in with the beats, definitely elevated that song. almost done, one more on this album. Then their last album 😀 Can't wait

II kills it on the drums every track. You guys should check out his playthrough of The Summoning from Drumeo

Dallas - as a II fan you really need to watch Drumeo An offering (featuring II’s only recorded interview and loads of his live drumming). Thank me later 🤙🏻
