What's a "Micro Music Video"? A tiny, simple and hypnotizing video accompaniment to my songs. Rather than seeing a static image, I loved the idea of having a visual to get lost in while listening.
Lyrics:
May these words be the first
To find your ears.
The world is brighter than the sun
Now that you’re here.
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us,
I’ll give you everything I have.
I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will always hold you close,
But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will soften every edge,
I’ll hold the world to its best,
And I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath,
And I’ll do better.
’Cause you are loved.
You are loved more than you know.
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so.
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside,
I’ll give you everything I have.
I’ll teach you everything I know.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will always hold you close,
But I will learn to let you go.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will rearrange the stars,
Pull ‘em down to where you are.
I promise, I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left,
I’ll defend your every breath.
I promise I’ll do better.
I will soften every edge,
Hold the world to its best.
I promise I’ll do better.
With every heartbeat I have left,
I’ll defend your every breath,
(I’ll do better.)
Sleeping at last is so underrated
Let it stay like thst
They're our little secret😜❤
similar to jack stauber. Couple giant hits but then alot of gold that goes unnoticed.
Is our privilegie of good listener. Not underrated.
I also underrated them until I listened to this song
"I promise, I’ll do better"
This song makes me want to get better in my life. Thank you
You can do it, just need to trust on yourself, have a nice day! :D
My father always promised, "he'll do better"... Always coming home drunk, mad about everything... No money for life, no food... I haven't spoke with him for 3 years... I hate him. But... He asked me for one thing... "Never be like me". I sure will not be like him... Reason why i bring it up, is because this song reminds me of his promises...
@@kacpertrojanowski3466 No matter what you'll always be the light of his life. Best wishes to you my friend :)
Yeah..
Hope You Are Ruler On Your World.
Sounds like the memories you never had
Ankit Maity that is just so beautiful.
J. T. just what I thought, dk why.
Ankit Maity actually I was having a conversation with someone recently, and we were talking about how they are able to evoke such powerful feelings and emotion
, even when something they write has no connection to you.
J. T. Maybe sometimes we just interconnects somewhere, just maybe
I feel exactly the same. It is like about kids I never haven't.
This sounds like all the love letters historians have sent, the heartbeat of a person who just realized they are in love, someone who looked up at the sun and smiling, a couple sharing their first kiss under the stars, how jack felt about rose, when a baby is born, when someone is given the news they are free of cancer, the feeling of release and renewal. This song sounds like my feelings for you. This is my heart in one song and my heart only beats for you.
It's so beautiful
Yeah! And your comment deserves more likes ❤️
This is the most poetic and beautiful comment I have ever read. I could visualize everting you listed, thank you
I'm starting to think this may be a song for passionate romantics to listen too
And so it is 💖 Namaste
Sleeping at last is that hug that everybody needs after crying. Their music tells you there’s hope and everything will be ok even if it doesn’t seem like it.
their lyrics have differently than any other artists could. they make this confusing world make sense.
"I will always hold you close but I will learn to let you go" everything I ever wanted.
felt that
i want to do that and one day i will
The way I view Sleeping at Last is that after a bad episode of panic / anxiety / depression, laying in your bed in the dark, there is hope of sleeping.
At last.
Exactly what I'm doing right now... I hope I can finally get some sleep.
Wow...that was...well explained. I'm speechless lol. Thanks for sharing your perspective! (:
I am scared, Are you watching me? Hhhhh..
So accurate!
Me right now...
Exactly
This the closest I'll ever be to magic.
IKR
so what Hogwarts is the magic place that I wish that was real :)
We people are magic. It's just a matter of who is aware of that and light it up conciously from inside
Yes probably.
@@agustinromano6833 so deep I love this comment.
"You are loved more than you know".
oh im crying
Sometimes when we do not find the words, the music does. This video is the proof
Sometimes when we do not find the words, Ryan does.
Sometimes when we don't find the heroes, we become the heroes instead. Or die a villian
Music is Life. 🎶✨
Music is often simpler than words.
May these words be the first
To find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun
Now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to it's best
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath
And I'll do better
'Сause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are

I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
Hold the world to it's best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I have always thought of this song from a parent to a child. It’s beautiful
It is the Divine LOVE talking directly to all 💖 thats Pure LOVE 🌹 May YOU be blessed with every breath feeling this beautiful Love 💚 Thank YOU dear One 🌹
I discovered this song just now and read the lyrics before hearing them (during the first instrumental portion).
I’m currently pregnant and I picked up on what you’re saying right after first reading the line “your eyes will need time to adjust.”
I’m in tears and thinking about how much I will love my baby and would die for her.
I believe you are right. It’s from parent to child.
Me too! I've also thought of it as a sequel to Saturn. Saturn I see as a child talking about their parent as their parent is dying or after the parents death. Light is the child finally became a parent themselves and promising to give everything to their child everything that their parent gave to them.
@@MultiKswift I sing Saturn to my unborn baby, all the time. I love that one. When she comes out, she’ll recognize it, from the womb.

Hi! I have synesthesia, where many of my senses merge together. Primarily, I associate sound and color, as well as sound and touch. This is what I feel/see when i listen to this song.
The music is purely yellow. His voice, though, goes from blue to green. He doesn’t know how to feel about this new thing, he has lost something in order to gain something new. The light dances around him and his new *daughter, lets say. He looks into her eyes, orange, and his voice gains hope- the yellow mixing in for green. The music feels like a void- and the only thing there with you is the dancing lights and the daughter and father.
this is beautiful. thank you.
I have synesthesia too and the imagery is really beautiful 🥺
I would like to be your friend, u have any social media?
Yes.
Your name, "Jenna" mean Paradise. That's a beautiful name.
no talk about sex, or drugs, just pure emotion. so happy i found this
yes, love doesn’t always need those topics. just affection through words.
That is pure LOVE 🌹 that is your true Essence 💖 It is YOU 💖🍀 Thank YOU so much 💖
“I’ll do better.”
Growing up being distant from my parents, this is exactly what I want to say to my children when they’re here. All of my thoughts beautifully expressed in this 4:18 long piece of magic. 💙
I have met Sleeping at last with the song called "Saturn" I have never felt travelling over the universe like that first moment I heard it. When everything seems to be finished, your music reminds me to try again. That's the magical,powerful and important your music is for me. Thanks
Yeah, me, too (Saturn)....so I thought. As I listened to his voice, I couldnt help having the sense that I've heard it before. I thought about it a little longer and then I remembered...it was the voice from one of my favorite songs...lol. This is the song...
ua-cam.com/video/EgMXULZX2Sc/v-deo.html
"Your love is my turning page
where only the sweetest words remain
every kiss is a cursive line
every touch is a redefining phrase"
I hope you're still trying!
Take care and be Blessed
@@Eimerej New music is always welcome., Thank you so much! I am trying. We are all trying everyday. Hope the best for you as well
@@taniagonzalez4421 Glad to hear. Me, too. Thank you!
Same Saturn was the first song I ever heard by him and my fave, I’ve never cried listening to a song and envy people who hear it for the first time
Hey, I found sleeping at last with the same song!
'I will rearrange the stars pull them down to where you are' I love your music sm good lord
"You are loved more than you know"
Saved my life in more ways than one. Thank you.
I can't believe I told myself I wouldn't cry and started crying reading comments... Every song from Sleeping at last has the best comment section. Comforting comments, stories that make me want to hug my parents and be strong with everything that's going on in my life, stories that get me crying and I want to hug all those people. This is not music, this is art, meaningful lyrics that are, unfortunately underrated, the instruments playing make it even more emotional and the voice... it's just heaven. ❤ When I don't know what to do, I feel a mess and I think that nothing can save me, I find guidance in songs and Sleeping at last is the first and only band that really gives me support and guidance. I love everyone who listens this song!
I see this song as a parent welcoming their child into the world and promising to be the best parent they can be to them. It seems a fitting sequel to Saturn which I see as a child reflecting on all their parent gave them after their parent has died, and promising to pass it on to their own children.
THIS IS ... the musical & lyrical composition that I choose as a dedication for my children for their future lives (with or without me) ... Any mother would defend their every breathe, teach them all they know and give them everything & more !!! THANK YOU 'Sleeping At Last' for this and for 'SATURN' ... soundtracks to fill our souls for eternity ... this is how the universe sounds PEACE xxx
imagine your comfort character singing this to you.
"the world is brighter than the sun, now that your here" to anyone who needs to know... you make a difference, your worth it
and one day you will realize exactly why your here
The vows to my future children written in a song 💕
This feels like something that a father would sing to his daughter
And yes I’m crying
😢😢 I did too. Beautiful song. ❤
In the fictional universe I've created, two of my characters listen to this while watching fireworks together.
That is such a pretty image.
Thank you! 😁 it actually starts with one singing it to the other.
Foxgod Taylor 466 that’s cool asf
what a gorgeous idea, made my heart swell🤍
This is the most underrated band ever and deserve so much more. You guys have been in every major event of my adult life from my wedding day to the birth of my children, please never stop making the most incredible and powerful music. You have a real gift and I’m so grateful I found your songs over the years.
To my two boys, one of which was born to this song - I promise I will do better, I love you both.
singing this song to my inner child and it hurts even more
It sounds just like that fresh start you've been wanting. I can feel it, it's as if I'm over all the bad stuff and now I'm off to a new journey, new beginning, brand new life, clean slate.
NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC, SLEEPING AT LAST!!! I LOVE YOU! ❤️
This song sounds like seeing the night sky for the first time. Like achieving something you’ve worked so hard for. Like true love enveloping you in its arms. Like going to bed after a long day. Like historic letters where they hope for more. The feeling when you’ve achieved self love and found your inner worth. This song is art. This artist’s music is absolute art.
every song i've heard from sleeping at last sounds so utopic and dystopic at the same time, it's weird how songs can sound beautifully sad and bring memories you never had
Whenever I have children, if I ever have children, I'll will make it my mission to show them this song constantly.
This song was made for me. I’ve listened to this ever since it came out from 2017-now, and I’ll forever listen to this song. This song found me.
Wow, this sounds like happiness i don't deserve.
It's been a long time, but it might still be relevant to you or someone else. You deserve all happiness, you can never have happiness you don't deserve. Life can kick you and spit on you time and time again, but no matter what happens, you are worth living, loving, caring for. You deserve happiness. Don't tell yourself otherwise. Have a nice day to whoever reads this!
“I will always hold you close,but I’ll learn to let you go” hits so hard cause I’m learning myself to be able to let go. Thank you sleeping at last,your music is awe spiring
I am moving to tears by the lyrics
I'm missing someone that he send this song to me 💞💞
“I WILL REARRANGE THE STARS AND PULL THEM DOWN TO WHERE YOU ARE!” That part explains a love only God could manifest. Overwhelmingly perfect.
Every single time I listen to their songs, I got the feeling that they´re letters from God, to us, beloved children.
I had a foster for a 6 months. About a year ago he went back to his family. But I make sure I see him atleast once a week. I haven't missed one week without seeing him. He is my everything and made everything about this world a better place. I try my best to teach him what I know and what is feels like to have overwhelming love with me even if doesn't get it at his home. I've turned myself into a better person the first second I met him. I knew he was my baby. He is my baby even if he doesn't live with me everyday. I live my life for him and one day will know how to fight for him the way he so desperately needs. For now I see him once a week and give him everything I can to show unconditional love.
I feel like I have a spiritual connection with your songs. I can't explain in words how your songs make me feel. I am thankful to you for making me feel like I never thought I could!
The best love letter from a parent to their newborn. The first time you hold them will forever be a special memory.
Sleeping At Last is such a beautiful band.. Every one of their songs has something so intricate and beautiful.. Ryan's voice is just one of the best things I've heard in a very long time.. All his songs make me feel things, and I'm not a person who usually does.. I'm so glad I found this band.. It's really good to see something like this in this world :')
I find this song to be just so beautiful and i cry every time i hear it, im a dancer and when i feel sad or i have a problem i just cant deal with i put this song on and dance and it takes my worries away💕
It sounds like a mother or a father singing to their newborn baby.
So moving.
The best feeling in the world is giving birth to a child. They are so beautiful and pure. The love you feel when you finaly see Them is Beyond Words and so magical. It can be so hard sometimes to love someone so much because you want Them to know how much you love Them but you cant tell Them because their are. Not enough Words in thuis world. I would glady die for Them without a second tought. Moms love
Sleeping at last songs always give me different perspectives of the world shows me that the world can be beautiful I just need to take the time look for the beauty
This sounds like slowly learning to love life again.
i discovered sleeping at last trough this song and i completely fell in love. your music really helped me and made me believe that there is something good waiting for me, you helped me when i was lost and felt alone. i just want to say thank you, thank you for making such a wonderful piece of art that helps people in dark times. please never change because you are a wonderful person.
To Sleeping At Last, I never get tired of listening to your music your voice to what takes me to another place a more beautiful and wonderful place the generation now these days (my generation) is all about rap music (I personally don't like rap) so when I hear your songs it's like the rest of the world fades away and it's just me so what I'm saying is thank you for the wonderful music...-fRom A RAndOM giRL soMEwHEre iN tHe WORld
One of those songs that defies categorization. It’s just beautiful.
I discovered this song a month before my first dauther’s birth, on February. And I can’t help but cry everytime I listen to it, because it’s perfectly how I feel toward her. Sometimes it’s just so overwelming the incredible love and devotion you can feel for a child.
This song makes me want to sing this to my future kids to let them know that I won't ever leave them in the dark no matter how many stars fall
To me the beginning sounds like when you're remembering a lost one, the feeling of happy at the memory but sad that they're gone
It's so strange for me, listening to sleeping at last again.
Your songs have been following me through incredibly rough times since I'm a teen and I just wanted to thank you, for the hope it gives me and for the emotions I can feel listening to your songs.
Even though some songs made me and always make me cry when I listen to them, it's like a good cry? I come back to it when I need to, because I know in the end it will feel better than crying in the dark and in the silence.
And some other songs are just lifting me up, reminding me that it's normal to be sad at times, or to not be good at everything, but that in the end life is always something good.
So thank you again, for this, I'm so glad I stumbled upon you a few years ago.
This song reminds me of the way my mother loves me. It reminds me I’m loved by someone, that I exist for a reason, that I take up space in this world. It reminds me that someone cares.
Thank YOU so much 💖 Yes that are the first words that reached me dear One direct in this new Life YOU gave to me 💖 and with every Heartbeat I am blessed with YOUR Grace 💚 Thank YOU God 💖
Isso é sem dúvidas a melhor coisa que já ouvi na vida!!! Essa música nos eleva.. Perfeito!
Tears in eyes and ❤️ full of love
If I ever find love and in the name of Lord have a child, I know I will sing this to them when they're born. I feel like it's one of these types of songs for newborn babies. But also are there for reminder to you when you start getting older and you feel alone it's like that warm cozy feeling of your home like idek how to describe it🐋
"The world is brighter than the sun Now that you are here" ❤️
Sleeping at last is such beautiful music. I wish they had more recognition for it.
This is the song that I'll play for my kid when I have one. I'm never good with words but this is what I imagine will feel when I hold them :)
This song just reminds me of my friend back when I was little. She's not here anymore but she was the reason I got back my smile.
Sleeping at last are one of the few artists I know that put so much emotion into a song and make their fans feel it to
My mom had a heart attack this week, and I wasn't there. I'm only 17 and my dad took her to the hospital. I thought she wouldn't come back home, and that time once again would take a loved one from me. I thought she wouldn't celebrate Easter with me again, and to think about a world without her almost killed me. I cannot imagine how much strength it takes to wake up in a world without your mom, truly.
She got better and came back to us. When she was at the hospital, I sent her this song and it became ours. That was me telling her how much I love her and how I'll do the impossible to make her feel alive again and to live without stress again. I hope that God stays with us, and with all of you. To lose someone for death is one of the hardest fights we have to face. Whenever I listen to Sleeping At Last, I burst into tears because they remind me that people do live forever in our memories and in our heart.
You are loved more than you know, and I hope someone reaches out the stars and pull them closer to where you are. We all deserve love and to experience life at its fullest.
I love sleeping at last, they are literally the best band in the whole world, their songs make you feel this weird emotion inside of you, it feels so powerful, like as if your soul had just been kissed by all goodness and beauty, and even the lyrics are just sooooo good.
my One online friend suggest me your songs...and when i started listening them i was like wow... and after that i am now here to listen all your songs .❤
Sleeping At Last. Commovente e fantastico!!!!💐 un urrah!!!!!👈💙
from cinematography to music, this guy is all about being top-notch.
I am so happy the universe lead me to Sleeping at last, your music touch so many souls, and you have no idea how happy I am now that you guys are in my life.
This sounds like a parent that truly loves their child with everything in them. Its exactly how i feel for my boy❤
I'll sing this to my nephew❤
May God lead my words and keep him safe everyday of his life.
I can't wait to meet him
This kind of makes me mourn for a father who would have treated me right. If a dad can sing such a beautiful song for his daughter you just know hes a good guy
One of my online friend whom I've never met in real life told me to listen to Sleeping at Last
I'm honestly glad to come across this before dying
We almost lost our daughter at birth. She has multiple disabilities now and is such a fighter. and this song give me so much hope that I can be strong for her as she grows up. Because she’s the strongest person I know and I don’t feel like I deserve her.
Tbh rn I am imagining a young father singing this to his little daughter to calm her down and she stops crying and looks at him ith big eyes and a cute smile on her face
No one would LOVE this song more than I do. My absolute favorite!
Impossível não lembra d varias coisas escutando esta música...
Sounds like a song written by God to human. Beautiful 🥺🥺
His songs help me tune into myself. I have felt happy and found my own self the strengths I need to face each day.
Thank you for your musical talent.
On awful morning like today’s, this song feels like a warm hug 🥺💙
There is so much beauty in this world. It's just a shadow in this world filled with hate.
This song has a healing power 💫
This is so beautiful 😭 Great voice and Great music.
You are loved
You skin isnt paper dont cut it
Your body isnt a pictureframe dont hang it
I know you are gonna read these words and its gonna go in one ear and out the other believe me i know but its never to late
I had my school tie around my neck with my bathroom door locked and was just hanging there until i looked in my mirror and seen what i was doing and then thought of everyone who does care about me and took it off and cried
Im getting better and i hope to god you wont do what i tried to do you are worth it you are loved so please stay around for the people who love you❤❤❤
Please stay safe... 💗
We love you stay strong ❤❤
Reminds of this poem I've heard a week ago : unkill myself. I recommend to hear it.
I'm glad you're still alive , I'm so happy that you didn't kill yourself. Have a good life fella
@@assiaerguigue7791 love it❤️
@@kellylove8009 thank you❤️
I was depressed and nearly committed a suicide before I turned 18. I struggled with my own wounds and learnt how to self-healing meanwhile my beloved knew nothing about my depression. When I look back, this song just likes a message from my current self to my past self and also a message from my higher self to my current self whenever I feel like giving up my life. I believe life is a miracle
This is what love must feel like. Exactly this. Sometime that is pure and worth all the "doing betters". In other words, amazing. Thank you so much.💫❤
i fail to understand why would people dislike such music....This is the best music. Sleeping at Last the Best all time
I can't avoid to cry. This song seems to come from another universe, where everything is better. Where everyone is happy and hopeful.
The darkest minds , Ruby and liam 🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️
toda vez venho aqui mas nunca comento. estou passando aqui mais uma vez pq essa música entrou no meu coração e nunca mais saiu❤
Na minha tbm
My son was premature and things were so difficult going in and out of hospital. This song is meaningful to me because it lifted me when I needed it the most. This will forever be a song for my son in my mind.
I’ll come back I’m a few years when I have kids. This by far is one of the most beautiful songs you’ve created.
This is the closest thing I ever felt to happines or love. I genuinely feel, the music like my eyes automatically close at some notes and my head moves with it and i get like super confident and feel so powerful like everything is going to be okay and i cherish the moments so much. Your songs mean so much to me and i know to a lot of other people. You are the ONLY artist which i actually enjoy every song of.
Thank you;
this song has helped me through some really difficult times, thank you for this amazing work of art
Everyone interprets songs differently. Whether its through personal experience or as an outsider looking in.
To me this song is sang by a parent who really didnt have the best childhood. Whether due to familial abuse, abuse through neglect, whatever it is. And they have a child of their own now, and this is their promises to love them how they should be loved and treat them how they should be treated.
this is my first time hearing this song. Well i'm into Sleeping at Last's music lately... well not lately just today, the first time i heard his song is Neptune, and i think it one of the most beautiful song i've ever heard, and now i'm hearing this, i'm hearing this while reading so i don't really paying much attention to the lyric, but when he sing
'Сause you are loved
You are loved more than you know'
I-I just, something in me were... i don't know how to describe it, but i feel relieved, sad, and happy at the sametime. It's just really touch my heart, and how he sing it, it's just so beautiful. I'm really glad that I found he's songs, because it is really beautiful.
I always come back to Sleeping At Last when I'm healing.
I can't listen to this song and not get teary...seriously. All I can think about is my daughter :)
A vow to my future child I love this song so much
