WHO IS "MICHA REACTS"?
I'm the vocalist for Without Warning, bringing you musical reactions all the way from Finland! I want to hear what our amazing metal scene has to offer, no matter if you've just started out as a band or you're already hitting those big stages, bring it on! Let's share good music and vibe together! 🔥
#michareacts #musicreaction #reaction
The whole "i dont know what's got it's teeth in me, but i'm about to bite back in anger/ no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" hits extremely hard. Those lines drag everything out of me.
same here. this type of music has gotten me through so many tough times. I dont know who i would be without metal music.
That part sums up my life rn lol
That’s my favorite part of the song. Not even just for the message but just how hard those notes hit. Just right in the soul. And I feel like no one talks about it 👏🏻
I love to that it's almost a warning for the next part where he starts to scream. He warned us "I'm about to bite back..." and then he does.
On separate ends of the spectrum, I both feel as though the universe wanted me to hear Sleep Token for their message, yet humble enough to know it is what we all share that makes this music as impactful to us fans as it does. It MEANS something to us. It’s not just paint on a canvas but a pulsating source of light through the prism refracting on our soul. Much love ❤️🔥🌈💧☀️🌑🌊🌕
I agree with you 100%, beautiful comment my friend 💙 This ST community is the best 💙 I'm so glad their music connects all of us!
Agreed
bro i know what you mean! i feel like i have been waiting my whole life for music like this to appear
They helped me make sense of all my ptsd and depression. They are therapeutic. I can relate to Vessel’s extra-terrestrial lyrics and genius.
The music is hypnotic. It’s what we all thought and couldn’t find the way to convey it. That’s sleep token to me
Masterpiece... Album of the year
I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we’ve no idea what we’ve got until we lose it.
And no amount of love will keep it around if we don’t choose it.
That shit BROKE something inside of me
it makes me burst into tears every time, it's genuinely the prettiest section of music they've ever written
I found my people! Seriously though…I have this part on repeat all day since yesterday
It’s simply so gorgeous both from a lyrical perspective and a musical one
I'M CRYING!! 😭💙 Got goosebumps just reading your comment.
These lyrics hit incredibly close to home for where I am at with my life right now. Hit me like a sledgehammer
That part hit me somewhere so deep that it took me back to my childhood, and it broke me. It is very rare when a song can bring out such deep emotions of anger, live and hate. This song did it!
I’ve never had music that wasn’t played at a loved ones funeral make me cry before this album. There are multiple songs that have brought this 41 year old man to tears. Vessel’s voice is fucking ridiculously good. II is an absolute master of his craft. An absolute winning pair of song writers. Not taking away from III or IVs shine, they’re amazing too and I can’t wait to see what they have to offer on the next album, assuming Euclid wasn’t the actual goodbye it felt like😢
This song hits me on another level. I am being denied access to see my son by his mother, currently fighting through the courts for access. My sons name is Eden
"Take me back to Eden" 😞
Im so sorry youre dealing with that. I never thought of that name for a boy but its beautiful and I love it. Best of luck my friend. Music is a savior. And this community is amazing. Keep your head up and keep grinding. It will get better. Much love from Texas
I've been there bro, stay strong and stay focused. I went through the same and now my son has lived with me for 7 or so years and is soon turning 10. Be the best version of yourself and show your value
Sleep Token is the first band to really make me obsess over them since Linkin Park, no other bands have come close to what I experience when I listen to Sleep Token and Linkin Park. Absolutely in love.
Same here. Much love to them both ✨
I thought I’d finished with the tears, but seeing someone else start to cry set me off again. It’s just so powerfully beautiful. This one is my favourite on the album. Also loving the call backs to other songs. If hiding behind a mask allows Vessel to show that vulnerability, I am more than happy for that to continue, but I also think he deserves the recognition for his incredible talent as himself. And the same for II. The drumming is insanely good and really adds to the overall sound and atmosphere. I’m gutted to have lost past play throughs because of the anonymity aspect.
I agree with you 100% 💙
Her voice is ASMR too. Very lovely to listen to.
This album sums up the past 17 years of my life. Even after making a conscious choice to move on I am not free of the cycle. Even after I thought I had the greatest clarity and freedom, I have descended into darkness and rage beyond what I thought was in me. This song portrays this so perfectly when it goes into that bright moment of clarity and reflection, only to get sucked right back into even darker territory. When we are made like branches tangled up in a flood, karmic bonds are a bitch to break free from.
I don't know how they do it, but their music takes us to a whole new level of emotions. It's painful, beautiful... it hurts, it heals. I don't know yet what the connection is with the few lines in the ending that is from the song Chokehols (tangled up like branches... etc.). I need to know!
Beautiful comment. This is how i feel exactly, i wish i could like this a thousand times.
Crazy how the character is Vessel himself! If you see them live you can see his wings he wears on his back.
Beautiful 💙
Beautiful reaction Micha. Sleep Token's music is special and therapeutic for alot of people. Vessel's voice is unreal, and his songwriting is poetic. My album of the year. Worship. 💙
Thank you William 💙 It is so therapeutic, insane! As you described it, his words are absolutely poetic, incredible writer! Definitely the album of the year! 💙
You're welcome.
I've felt like crying so many times whil listening to this, but kept holding back up until "never know what we had until we lose it". This 30 year old grown up man bawled his eyes out for the rest of the song 😂
I feel ya, mate. Same. There's easily half of dozen times on this album where it's hard cuz of Vessel's incredible performance... it's so beautiful, so moving! 😢😢😥
And how can a band be this good?
Because they bear their soul in such sincerity through their pure unadulterated love for music, and we share it, we are blessed to understand all the pains and trials of love they offer through the songs they create.
They offer a level of vulnerability and uniqueness of perspective that’s so refreshing, and through all the chords and harmonies equally as unique that portray the emotions and story PERFECTLY.
They are beyond compare. And I am so lucky to have found them. WORSHIP
"And. I don't. Know what's got its teeth in me. But I'm about to bite back in anger" that hits hard for me. Trying. To figure why I was so angry all the time and. Unhappy. But sleep token has really changed my. Life. Worship.
"No amount of love will keep it around if we don't choose it"
Gets me EVERY single time.
That part makes me emotional too, but the way you reacted to it made me cry more than the song ever did. Seeing you holding back and processing the lyrics until those bottled up emotions come rushing out... pure catharsis captured on video. Beautiful!
There's something very profound about the lyrics, "and no amount of love will keep it around if we don’t choose it", specifically the distinction made between having love for someone and choosing to love them. They've left because you didn't choose to love them, and you continue to suffer because you can't choose to not love them. It hits like a freight train.
I just listened to my first album of theirs (Take Me Back to Eden) and immediately relistened to it again. And bawled my eyes out. This has never happened to me before.
Your words resonated with me, even though I’m completely new to Sleep Token.
Now I need to go back to the very beginning and listen to their first album.
I’m filled with awe.
Euclid legit put me to tears on that call back to The Night Does Not Belong to God. What a way to go full circle.
Worship
I want to properly listen to that one too! I was at work when the album dropped, listened to the songs about two times through. So I wanna take my time and REALLY hear them 💙 WORSHIP!
@@michareacts I hope I didn’t spoil that for you. Such a great album.
@@JustinPramis Every time Euclid stops me in my tracks - I was listening to it whilst shopping yesterday and I won't make that mistake again... ...legit nearly had a breakdown there and then. Amazing, beautiful, genius.
@@JuanTheDjent I hear you. I was driving, whilst listening to the album. I won’t make that mistake either. Sounded great in the vehicle though. Thanks for sharing your experience my friend.
Worship
they also reference When the Bough Breaks as well! an absolute masterpiece of a song
This album is absolutely the greatest of all time, and I'm not afraid to say that. The way these songs hit me on the first listen is amazing, and I know (because, DUH, it's Sleep Token) that they will only get better as time goes on. It's a masterpiece. Their Magnum Opus. It's perfect. Thank you for always being so raw and real. Love your reactions ❤
It absolutely is, the most poetic, lovable piece of art in 2023 💙
This song has f'd me up! I just went through a break up with who I believe was my forever person and I heard this yesterday. Devastated
I'm so sorry to hear that love 💙 Sending you the biggest huggs 💙
Its a shame we didn't get to see your initial reaction, but i get it. I couldn't wait either, just straight binged it as soon as midnight hit. Although i do like this follow up perspective, i get more of an emotional response the more times i hear the song!
I was at work when I listened to the new songs so I wasn't able to properly engage with the music, hearing the lyrics out and focusing. So I definitely felt those emotions like on a first time listening 💙 I think their songs tend to have so much depth and levels that it can be even more emotional to sit down and analyse them properly 💙
Absolutely amazing song. 2nd favorite on the album, behind Ascensionism. That one sits at #1 just because of the "You make me wish I could disappear" outro. I've felt that so many times in my life.
ST’s music is exposing my full awareness of my vulnerability as a human being.
And the struggle to fully realize it, understand it, hold it, protect it, nourish it, use it creatively, is hitting me like a ton of baseball bats aiming to send me into the stands.
If full creativity within me is about to be born, which I deeply suspect, then I am experiencing the pregnant latent power to completely recognize it with perfect inner vision.
And that birth, of which terrifies and overjoys me, is nearly complete.
I cannot wait for what emerges and I will fully invest inside in it as if it is as necessary as breathing.
There isn’t a bone in my body that doesn’t resonate with influence of ST’s music, lyrical mastery, and musical expertise.
ST’s vocal and musical swells, the space between notes, the enormity of expression, the shallow end of weakly linked emotions, the strength of powerful emotions, the pure love within, and God’s energy rushing forth is much like the strength of multiple tidal waves crashing onto my personal shores.
And I am uncomfortable, shaken, and stirred by ST, yet I am unmarred, uninjured, unconstrained inside multisensory laced thunderstorms and tsunamis.
Whatever message, mission, project inner longing is about to emerge, I will belong to it and it belongs to me and I cannot wait to share it!
Thank you, Sleep Token & Vessel, you have woken me up!
Micha, your reaction is so golden and pure! Love your channel!
Everything you said is so relatable, very well put into words my friend 💙 I love to see how this music moves you guys too and the way you describe it is so beautiful.
Thank you so much 💙
Micha, I love Sleep Token and I love your reactions.
Worship from Milan, Italy
Grazie amico mio 💙 Greetings to lovely Italy 💙
I truly pity people who don’t feel music with every fiber of their being as we do. Worship
I had exactly the same reaction the first time I heard this song, sis. Exactly. Somehow, they have the uncanny knack for knowing how to craft music that just squeezes every ounce of emotion out of you. Then, they let you have it back. Sometimes all at once. Sometimes a little at a time. But it's always a trip that's SO worth taking. New sub! Great job!
My tears broke out at the extract same moment…. Hugs and worship
Naaw 💙 Hugs to you too! Worship!
That buildup and then those lyrics, “and I don’t know what’s got it’s teeth in me but I’m about to bite back in anger” always break me
This is exactly how I reacted to this! They can do no wrong! At all. They trigger something deep within and it literally scratches and itch without even knowing there was an itch!!! Loved it! Thank you ❤️
You get it. Lovely song. Lovely reaction. Thanks for sharing.
I had to duck away for a moment at work when first listening to this, Got me at the exact same part
I don''t know what it is about the love story Vessel has told but it feels deeply relatable as a strongly empathetic person
As a drummer I greatly appreciate the musicianship and connect with their music on quite an emotional level
Great album, Euclid is something special
I feel you my friend! 💙 Very relatable, very emotional and just incredible. I love how the drums are composed in ST songs! And I love his drum set. His cymbal set are goals!
Absolutely love you, dear. I was tripping for the first listen of this album. I was a bloody mess!!
And, just wait, the tears are a coming!!
Thank you lovely 💙 I feel ya, it's incredible!!
Absolutely insane band. TOOL has the musicality and the spirituality messaging, but Sleep ToKen is probably the craziest music I have ever heard. Also amazing in concert. How the songs cross reference in such a deliberate manner. From The Nighy Does Not Belong to God, concluding with Euclid. Dude, it’s like 2024 is about getting real and experiencing life in all its forms with eyes forward and focused on something bigger.
So freaking amazing
today I was listening to this song with my partner, and the part hit that begins "I guess it goes to show, does it not? that we've no idea what we've got until we lose it...", and I suddenly went "F***!!" and burst into tears; that whole section just reduces me to a weeping mess every time, my partner had to hug me lol
YES!! 💙😭
Your reaction is my very favorite of all the ones I've watched. The reason being is you felt the song. Most want to talk over it, but not you. You showed your heart and allowed yourself to be vulnerable and that's beautiful.
Thank you so much, means a lot 💙
You are very welcome!
Thank you for this true reaction. One of my fav. compositon from fantastic Sleep Token. With Peace & Love from Ukraine❤
I just found sleep token a month ago and I can't stop listening to them. So different and hits in the feels.
I've been hooked on reaction videos for a while, which is how I discovered this band. I rarely save reaction vids but I'm saving this one. Something about seeing someone get emotional from music hits me. Great reaction and I did like and subscribe 👍
7:27 the name sleep token comes from the ferryman charon from Greek mythology who ferries souls across the river styx in exchange for a coin, or a "sleep token" (the ancient greeks often believed there was very little difference between sleep and death and i mean, just technically speaking they weren't WRONG). The theme of Sleep Token's music often revolves around this ontological frame, what with the references to a "flood" and that "we were made, it was no accident".
Very deep, very artistically practiced band. Much love ❤️.
Music really is an amazing experience. To me this song feels like a culmination of feelings. It starts off making think of hope and then its like going through the motions of change before a pitfall and then the song ends with salvation or something like it. (my inside feelings)
It is, the best thing ever! I like how you described it 💙
Album is phenomenal, album of the year, maybe the decade.
The only way I can describe how this song makes me feel is that it feels like someone has reached inside my chest, grabbed my heart and lungs and pulled them downward with intent.
Exactly!!!
A very beautiful and moving song. Its about, it seems to me, that a relationship went wrong and he wants it to be the way it was at the beginning (Eden). We have all been there and it hits hard especially the "no idea what we got until we lose it" part.
The song and band are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Totally agree. They're mindblowing and very deep, another level. Had watery eyes more than once while listening to this album among this beautiful track🙏🏻 Vessel goes deep where you feel it...
Micha. Beautiful react M'Lady, so very genuine ❤️. Keep em coming!
Incrivel como uma muica faz a gente ter reacao emocionante e a forma pela qual ela toca de forma profunda em nossos sentimentos. Seu reaction foi lindo!
I need to cry the Same way with that Song!
I feel you, great reactions. Let's keep and stay strong. Music really the one thing that gives us more power for through this life. I'm glad finding this band in this month. it's helps me a lot to keep moving forward.
I agree with you 100% 💙
Seeing that this song makes you cry gives me the hardest goosebumps ever! My reaction was so similar hearing this song for the first time. It is so beautiful to see what music can do to you. Love your reactions! 🖤
Pure beauty, this is my favourite song. You wiping tears away after the entire intro is me every time I listen to this song.
How can a band be this good? That's one of the most honest questions i've heard on their reaction videos. If besides understanding their music you can afford understanding their poetry you are part of their story too. I knew very few artists who dedicated songs to death but this one definitely exceeded all. Pure seduction to the reaper when you got enough bullshit from life and you are crying out for peace.✌🏼
I ask myself that all the time when I listen to ST. It's incredible... I agree with you 100% 💙 The text is pure poetry and you really have to open yourself to the story Vessel tells you. His writing is not easy going, it's rough, hurtful, beautiful, raw and so touching. Absolutely divine 💙
I’ll give you a tip… google Euclid… it’s meaning in Greek and you’ll end up finding out ST Logo it self is based on Euclidean geometry. This guys are far beyond human comprenhention. Glad you are of those who know how to read between the lines Micha.
Just absolutely beautiful this band is just amazing
Thank You. Connection through music is Beautiful. And what it gives us. Thank you for your reaction videos.
I'm crying with you girl 😢 what a rollercoaster.
It is 💙
Love your reactions. Was so stoked to see you do this song.
Thank you 💙
Worship.
Been waiting for these reactions !
💙
I wish I could listen to their songs for the first time, again. That feeling is something I'll never forget.
" when we were made ...
It was no accident "
Hits so much harder in this sing than it did in Chokehold.
RIP Will Ramos 😈
@@joshuasmith6950 IS he tho?
So happy and relieved that album is finally here.
What a masterpiece... Hope and beauty.
Subbed for the other reactions.. I relate to your emotional response so much.
What a lovely emotional reaction. In days like these this gives me hope in humanity 😊
Absolute masterpiece my favorite song on the whole album
Are you really ok. That song speaks to me so much after losing my brother to suicide not so long ago due to mental health issues.
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔❤️
Amazing, I'm speechless ❤❤❤
I feel the same. I just was lucky enough to see them live and now I'm just going to have to let them consume my whole soul. I don't have the right words to explain the way they make me feel.
I couldn’t agree with you more about Vessel’s lyricism. He is an incredibly gifted writer. A lot of the music I’ve grown into is very lyrically poetic and what pulls me in. Lines like “my my those eyes like fire” get stuck in my head and I just can’t get enough. I love this band.
this is how I exact felt this song. It's full of emotions as I am. Thanks a lot for your reaction.
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who ended up crying like a baby to this song. And I still do over and over again. I cried again with you.
I always say that music is my second language because sometimes music conveys feelings in a way that is hard to say with your own words
I like that phrase!! Music can say things we cannot express in words 💙
Yeah got emotional as well insanely beautiful
Micha, please do a reaction video to Diana Leah covering this song (vocalist of Delain), you would not be disappointed, the cover is AMAZING!
You're a beautiful person reacting so genuinely to such a powerful song. I appreciate it so much. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you Pete 💙
The lyrics in this song are so gut wrenching and relatable. In combination with the incredible music, this by far my favorite track right now. I’ve probably listened to this song 20 times now, and I shed a tear every single time without fail.
This band gives me full body chills with every song. I read the lyrics with the song the first time I heard it and it made me tear up. Very rare for a band to carry this much emotion in EVERY song they put out, let along this track.
just can't get over this music! soooo perfect
It's perfection 💙
I've never heard of this band until I saw that you were doing a reaction to it so I had to check it out and it's addicting so thank you
Sooo good! This album man.. transcendental.
Love you watching sleep token you have a lot off passion towards them fantastic brilliant band 👏 ❤
Thank you 💙
I'm 57 and this is one of the best albums I've ever heard, fuckin epic
Song and your reaction gave me crazy chills and the first time I listened to the song It was like I was literally hypnotized 🔥
💙
You express the emotion i feel when listening to this track🖤
Your level of passion and deep empathy is why i just followed you.
Absolutely the album of the year for me. Ive been obsessing over this band since the end of last year. My wife yells at me to "play something else for a change" 😂😂😂
I was waiting for your reaction 🤟💙
Really? 🥺 Thank you dear 💙
I'm right there with you, how can a band be this good? Love this band!
Thanks, now I’m crying ❤
We dont know what we got till we lose it 😢😢😢
Exactly 😭💙
I can relate so much...Sleep Token legit made me cry. Not just tears and a runny nose, I was sitting here listening to the album and sobbing...
I love watching others get emotional with this amazing song
Back in November last year,my mother died of cancer, 3 months later I had to have my cat euthanized due to illness that came out of the blue. I can't even listen to Sleep Token without breaking down,without ugly crying every f...... time, and yet I love this band to death 💔
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that my friend 💔 I'm sending you the biggest hug ❤️
@@michareacts Thank you 💔
Your reaction speaks to your knowledge of all the songs that came before. TMBTE by itself is epic, but experiencing Sundowning to TPWBYT to now this album puts it all in context with that rear view mirror perspective. They are absolutely masterful at making us feel every note and breath and you can't help but release. WORSHIP 🙌
😭 Such a roller coaster 🎢 of a journey.
Esta canción es una auténtica pasada 👍
Listening to the entire album had me goin! The way Vessel ties in not just the beginning of the album to the end of the album but how he ties in the beginning of his journey as a vocalist in Sleep Token to the song "Euclid" was absolutely GENIUS. These guys truly are something different, something special and I'm so thankful to be able to listen to them. Worship!
Great reaction Micha!
Thank you 💙
Beautiful reaction. It doesn't matter if you have already heard the new songs before you did a video on them because with ST they can bring you back to how you felt when you first heard it. I think ST has a more profound impact on some people more then others, I feel like some people are like oh this is a cool new song with cool layers to it, and then Vessel and there music really speaks to others hearts, that's how they make me feel. Also I have watched some reactions and some people feel like the songs all have to have a heavy breakdown... I personally don't feel that's how Vessel writes, IMO the songs that do have the heavy breakdown isn't for the sake of the BD but more so the heavy part is another form of a powerful emotion that Vessel is conveying as he does with his melodies.
Completely agree, I think a lot of the breakdowns & dirty parts are very intentional. I guess it's possible some could be arbitrary due to studio/producer influence ("we need this here" stuff) - but I think most of it is artistic intention to express certain feelings at specific points in the story/process, even if it makes for unconventional song structure. The structure of life itself can often feel equally as unconventional and hit us in all the wrong places
Thank you Philip 💙 I was working when I listened to the new songs so I wasn't able to really hear them properly and engage with the emotion. So the reaction is very genuine 💙
I totally agree with your analyse about the break downs! ST doesn't have them because it's cool and a song needs one. They are chosen very carefully to reflect emotion. Amazing 💙
Great reaction Micha❤❤❤
💙💙💙
