This is my first time listening to this song and while I've heard all of Vessel's screams from the TMBTE album, that growl at 1:28 was one I don't think I ever heard before and FUUUUCCKKK did it make my ears happy. It sounded so good 😭😭
I’m a professional singer. And let me tell you that barely any singer EVER has made me this absolutely fucking STUNNED the first listen. Holy FUCK. His control, articulation, pressure, breath support, grit, vowel placement, the fact that he do so freely executed each note and actually lets his voice shine in a way that lets him release it instead of holding it back to make it “perfect” like so many artists do… holy fuck. The chills this man give me. Where can I get tickets? Lol
Have you ever watched the Charismatic Singer? She's a professional opera singer and she does a react video to a few songs of theirs with Will Ramos from Lorna Shore. She really analyzes all the things he does and is in complete awe while Will Ramos just fangirls.
You know how when you get older, fewer and fewer things pierce that foggy veil. You respond less and less emotionally to things, you hear some sappy song and see everyone saying it made them cry and you can't relate. You know maybe a few years ago you could but life has just gotten so heavy that no song can invoke those feelings, yeah well that isn't the case with this song. The first song to make me feel ok in a while. Thanks man.
Man I feel that. It's why I don't listen to my all time favorite songs that often. I'm afraid that if I hear them enough the emotions they give me access to will run dry.
There are so many songs with emotion pouring from the vocals. Here's a list of a few: Snuff - Slipknot Deathbeds - BMTH Daddy - KoRn James Arthur - Trainwreck
My son died 11 years ago today. I was lost for a long time. And then I found Sleep Token, or rather, I feel like they found me. Broken, shattered and slowly dying a little bit every day, I stumbled upon Missing Limbs and it changed everything for me. Through their music, I've finally started to live again, be present, participate in my own life. I Was able to see them at the Dallas Ritual this year, and it.was.EVERYTHING. On my deepest darkest days, I isten to Sleep Token and I grieve and i LIVE. Eternally grateful for their music.
I hope you're doing okay out there. This happened to me in January, it's been a hard road. I just saw Sleep Token live a few weeks ago and it was cathartic and incredible, even if he's singing about a very different type of loss.
"I'm still your favorite regret, You're still my weapon of choosing" This is absolutely beautiful ❤ I am in love w this song! Vessel's voice w the piano is hypnotizing.
It is the imperfections in his voice, the cracks and breaks, that were left in the recording on purpose that makes Vessel one of the most amazing singers and artists in our time. This song sounds like a first take, live recording and that is just incredible. Im convinced that Sleep Token can't do wrong.
I discovered them today. It's been playing nonstop. Why is my soul tearing up into pieces inside my meatsuit? Every ounce of pain from my entire life is inside these songs & I FEEL them. I don't understand how to say how I am processing right now.
Sleep Token. The band you never knew you needed in your life until you hear them and then can't live without. Never heard a more truly beautiful band in my life.... My life is better for finding this band. 🖤🖤
Same. I came across them literally 3 days ago (I know I must have been under a rock 🤦♀️) but my goodness I’m so glad I did. Their music is “moving” me in ways and reaching me in places that music hasn’t been able to touch (if I’m honest, that NOTHING has been able to touch) in probably like 15+ years. Not since I was in my early 20’s and felt everything. I came across a video of someone describing the band and the lore and the “gimmick” (their words not mine) and I thought that sounded interesting, but I was not prepared for just how AMAZING the music would be. I thought it might be fun deciphering the lyrics to figure out the story but didn’t realize how powerful they would be regardless of the “lore” and how much they’d actually resonate with me and my own story. I also love how versatile the music is; songs go from rock to heavy metal to electronic to acoustic to a cappella, sometimes even within the song. And the vocals are on another level. I’m just so glad I discovered them when I did because they are exactly what I need in my live right now and I’m so grateful to be able to “feel something” again. ❤
1000% I go to 2 different types of therapy to help with my traumas and I can’t believe finding Sleep Token about a month ago makes it feel like 3 types of therapy. I relate to every single song of theirs one way or another. Never heard music as uniquely beautiful as theirs. Their music is truly another form of therapy. I hope to see them when they come back to the states! They deserve all the love and recognition!
I love how he is able to use his vocal fry in tandem with this. It's the balance of the gentle singing and then he sprinkles in that grit and raw emotion at just the perfect moments.
As someone who was struggled with anxiety and negative self talk for about 10 years, this band has helped me find inner peace. This song along with the songs Atlantic and Fall for Me make me weep and want to give Vessel the biggest hug in the world.
My girlfriend of nine years broke my heart in April, just before I discovered this band. His beautiful words are the only thing carrying me through this right now.
I believe that this is a very personal song to Vessel. The raw emotion in both versions of this song just hits you so hard. And every time I hear this I ask, who hurt you?
@@kvdngz7652 see Ascensionism's lyrics. She wanted to get famous off his musical talent and cheated on him. Now we have the greatest band to ever grace the earth and he's the famous one instead. He also turned their entire relationship, break up, and the trauma he had afterward into the greatest musical masterpiece trilogies of all time.
I don't know how comfortable I am with how many of their songs I relate so closely too. Its like every other song brings me tears. Its almost comforting to listen to another person with apparently as much regret as I do.
1 year ago today my girlfriend committed suicide. She first showed me sleep token back when she was still here and honestly it's been the only thing that's kept me going. Everyday I miss her, but everytime I listen to this I start to feel just ever so slightly better.
I want to roll the numbers I want to feel my stars align again Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin And the heavens just won't open up for me Would you invite me in again? Won't you pay for your arrogance? Won't you show me your weakness? I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I can't win I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I can't win So let's play And somewhere Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I'm still your favourite regret You're still my weapon of choosing And out there Stuck in a quantum pattern Tangled with what I never said You say it doesn't matter I want to be forgiven I want to choke up chunks of my own sins Even if the sky cracks in the morning And the heavens just won't open up for me Would you invite me in again?

The night I saw Vessel sing is one burned into my memory. Never heard of Sleep Token till they went on stage. I came in with high hopes for the main band. But left with higher aspirations for what music Sleep Token is capable of.
Sorry for your loss fam, my condolences and I hope things get better, somehow. I found out Sleep Token cover of Is It Really You shortly after my grandpa passed away, so that's the one that hits hard for me too.
rest in peace beautiful soul. she lives on through you, in your heart, and she will forever. wishing you the best, shay… never stop singing along to this song because it will always hold that memory of allie and that’s the most painful yet beautiful part about it. you are so strong, and allie was too. keep looking forward… for her, but most importantly for yourself. live an amazing life for you and allie, and keep pushing on. much love, shay.. from a random lonely internet stranger. 🖤
Kind of the opposite. Been listening to sleep token for a long time, just started following Ramos a few months ago. Both legendary talents. Would kill to hear an official collab
Hey so anyone else know the feeling when you've spent almost a decade feeling completely numb, fearing that life and music just don't affect you the same way anymore, rationalizing it away with blanket statements like "I guess I'm just getting older" while secretly wondering what's broken in you and berating yourself for your own inability to feel, when suddenly a song randomly plays while driving and you're pulled over weeping in a Wawa parking lot as 9 years of emotional catharsis erupts from deep within and you're left feeling exhausted, depleted, and yet for the first time in recent memory... human again? I do now. Thank you, Sleep Token.
I do believe you have hit it on the head. Vessel's voice just destroys me and I'm left in pieces ~ every time. It's like my spirit needed a jolt toward healing by ripping up an old set of inner wounds. Then, I really internalize the lyrics to Missing Limbs, Levitate, The Love You Want, Alkaline, The Offering and I'm left wondering, where do I go from here? Talk about the Great Reset.
I have screenshot this comment in a non creepy way because it stuck in my head a few months ago. And. It kept on circling on inside my brain and I just had to revisit it. Now it is immortalised on my shitty Huawei. Thanks.
Most of sleep token songs about love are basically him either trying to fighting off his love for someone either because they don't love him anymore or the relationship was just too toxic for both of them but it's hard to just stop loving someone so u just keep repeating the cycle over and over again and u end up losing a part of yourself in the process
The torment infused in this song, in this performance, in every performance of this song, it's absolutely soul-crushing. I've yet to hear a performance of this song, studio or otherwise, where Vessel doesn't break apart by the end, and I find myself breaking apart right along side him. Because I've been in the place that this song depicts, and the words are weaved so beautifully that the scars from my own trauma start to ache again as if they'd only been inflicted yesterday. With the release of Euclid earlier this year, I can only hope that the man has achieved some degree of peace in overcoming the pain he's been forced to endure. Vessel insists that we saved him and not the other way around... I disagree. Whatever validation he may have gotten from the reception to his music may have helped to pull him from the darkness, but I know it goes without saying that this music, and all of Sleep Token's music, has done at least a little of the same for each and everyone of us here. We are all of us more than the masks we wear. We are all of us more than the burdens we carry and the trauma we endure. We are all of us more than our mistakes, our faults, our guilt. We are all of us human - mind and body, flesh and bone, desperately searching for meaning amid our finite mortal coil. But the beauty of life doesn't come from fate, or from who we think we are or who we believe we are meant to be. The beauty of life is having been born, and from being alive to experience this world now, at this very moment. Through all the smiles, through all the sorrow, and through every shade of life in between, the night belongs to us.
Vessel- you have healed my heart with this song. My life was falling apart and when I stumbled upon SleepToken, I found a sense of purpose again. So, thank you for saving my life.❤
Vessel you have no idea of the absolute clarity this song has had on my damaged soul. Thank you. Your pain in this song has allowed me to start healing. I see why people love you and this band so very much You're much more than just another band. Many more years and love and respect to you. Thank you so much.
I'm crying again. I just wanted to leave a comment again here. When I have pent up emotions I just listen to Blood Sport and Are you really okay then start crying. All the emotions that i wanted to get out of my system. The disappointments that i have been feeling with myself. I released it thru crying. Sleep Token just casually saving me from being suicidal by bawling my eyes out, it helps me a lot. Hope they know how their songs affected our life. You've been such a blessing from universe. I love you. 🖤🖤 Hope y'all get big to have a tour in Asia. I really wanted to see you guys ....
I had the privilege of seeing Sleep Token live, if you think this band isn’t going to absolutely shatter your expectations of what it means to see a band live you’re absolutely mistaken. It’s a spiritual experience all on its own. Sleep token has deserves ever positive feedback back they have been given. I can’t not WAIT to see how they develop for years to come. They will always hold a special place in my heart, and I think that holds true for many other fans.
As an amateur vocalist, I'm a total sucker for these slight cracks of his voice. I just love how emotional his voice is, yet he has full control over it!
totally agree. I bought the album yesterday and was mad because I didn't realize there was more than one version. This version is about his voice and the lyrics. Had to buy the "from the room below" version today.
There’s about 5 or 6 Sleep Token songs that I listen to in a different mental state to 99% of other songs made ever. This is one them. Mesmerising and beautiful, I really love this band.
This band, this man, they raised the bar. Far, far up high. Lyrics, Vocals, Emotionality, Soundscape (especially the drums, well, not in this case but you know what I mean), Band dynamics. High high high.
Came back to this song to think of Jen. I lost her last year. Stress in a better place now. This song definitely make me think of her. And makes me smile.
The way Vessel's voice broke multiple times throughout this song speaks to me. The pain, the frustration, the torment he is going through... No genre can describe Steel Token's song so well and I'm happy that they chose to be eclectic with their rituals.
Sleep token songs are like a hill song for me. It gives me chills. I've discovered them very recently. I'm not regretting to start worship. Vessel's voice is giving me warm for some reasons
I lost my dad-in-law on August 22, rn a week ago, listening to Blood Sport makes me sob sm since I have to think about him while listening to it. I have to thank u guys too for ur amazing music. Before and during that time of grief you comforted me in every single way possible. Thank you for existing, thank you for the amazing music!
We are all beautifully broken looking for our puzzle piece and Vessel describes exactly that! We're not all perfect but there is someone that will love us for whatever we are❤️
This song always destroys me. I feel all of my ego break away, and all of my emotion flood. A moment in time from my past is all I see. A complete resonance with something I thought was dead. Thank you so much. 🙏
Its so amazing to see an artist that is so emotionally involved in their craft, both physically and vocally. Vessel has such a clear love for his music and it's just so beautiful.
first time hearing this in 2024 and i have only one question for you Vessel.. HOW DO YOU MAKE A MASTERPIECE MORE DEPRESSING THAN IT ALREADY IS, THIS IS SURPRISINGLY THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE MADE ME CRY.. we didn't deserve such a talented band.
1:30 Gives me massive chills everytime. God damn this dude sings with every single emotion in his body. I havent found music that made me feel this way in a long time. Thank you, Sleep Token. ❤
When I was a kid, my piano teacher used to tell me that my fingers had to be curled enough for a mouse to run beneath them. Vessel has taught me that this has absolutely nothing to do with art. This is a masterpiece.
His voice is beautiful i wish id discovered them earlier but enjoy exploring all they have to offer. The man is a real wordsmith with the ability to look into your life and just rip those emotions right out of you. And i let him without regret. Fantastic band 🖤✌️🎶
I love this song. I have found someone I never want to lose. Sometimes we aren’t so good for each other. But out of everything and everyone I have ever loved, the thought of losing them, makes me feel this song almost wholly. I am praying we always work on it and come back together so I don’t actually have to feel this. I don’t think I’d survive it.
Sleep Token has been a saving grace for me this year. I miscarried twins earlier in the year, and this song is on repeat often. “Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing, I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing. And out there stuck in the quantum pattern, tangled with with what I never said… you say it doesn’t matter. I want to be forgiven..” Thank you for the most meaningful music out there.
I have not been through what Vessel has been through. I can't pretend to understand what was going through his head in that moment in time. So why does my heart ache and my eyes grow wet with tears each time I listen to this song?
Just started listening to Sleep Token, and damn I did not expect them to make me cry so damn much. 😢 abesolutely beautiful. Their lyrics are always TOP TIER
I agree with you 1000%.. I too just now discovered them.. So deep do the words "I made loving you a blood sport"... I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this band on a emotional level..
This is as heavy as a sun dying and imploding on itself. Its when your in love and your heart feels so purely for someone who can never reciprocate and feel as deep as you do and the painful, slow realization keeps hitting you time and time again while you keep getting back up bleeding, knocked down yet again. This is so relatable beyond words. Dam I love Sleep token!! Fucking Worship!
Was just introduced to SLEEP TOKEN and they are absolutely amazing!! So many GREAT songs. My favorites are BLOOD SPORT and THE SUMMONING!! PHENOMENAL MATERIAL!!!
You have no idea how good it feels to those of us longer time fans to see comments like this. I’ve been obsessively supporting this band for two years at least because I KNEW they deserved to be huge. The time has finally come and the emotional response both to the music itself and the feeling that all my efforts played a part is so powerful. I hold this band so close to my heart and am stoked for others to do so as well!
When you hear a song so heartbreakingly beautiful, that you feel like you heard a secret you shouldn't have. His Voice is beautiful with soul gripping reach.❤️
I'm in love with the lyrics of this song. "Somewhere, the atoms stopped fusing" makes me think of a dying sun, everything around it sinking slowly and inexorably into the darkness preceding a supernova.
You guys have become my favorite band and its wild being that you guys are on the opposite end of the genre i like. I have to see you guys live in 2025 i hope?!?
I love how the lyrics barely change but through each verse there’s anger/sarcasm, then regret/accountability, then hope. Never has a song completely fit my life right now! My wife and I have been through the wringer with each other, but are still madly in love and are finally in a good spot! It’s not always sunshine in roses, sometimes it’s a bloodsport, and honestly, it makes you appreciate it so much more.
Keep coming back over and over and over and over again… you can really feel the hurt in every word he sings… makes it that much easier to connect with and really appreciate his music more ❤❤
The pain in his voice when he says “somewhere; somewhere the atoms stopped fusing; I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing” …Vessel you okay man? 😢
"Im still your favorite regret,
You're still my weapon of choosing"
Fuck I love that line
Shit hits deep. If you know you know
“Tangled with what I never said, you say it doesn’t matter” hits especially hard for me
Yes
Is this song about Gemma???
Is my favorite line too
Sleep Token - officially the most confusing band to explain to someone
I wanna tell every single being whether they wanna listen or not and i have no idea how to describe it
Mindless Self Indulgence joined the chat room
Dude same !
Is it metal, is it pop, is it indie?
It's Sleep Token but how would they know .. 😊
I just found them out today. I feel this
No seriously though.
Vessel is honestly too good at singing. Like really in this song you hear a tortured voice in a good way. He really does pour all his emotions into it
Gives me goosebumps everytime
It annoys me that he's been singing so long and I only just heard of Sleep Token 3 months ago, but now I can't stop nor do I
A tortured voice in a good way? Jonathan Davis >>>
@@ma1ngamermoore445only 4ish years and they are everywhere. I’ve never seen a band grow this fast. Vessel got the recognition he deserves

Exactly!!
Jesus, you quantified it.
Yes
Guess we're crying tonight. Who's with me? Masterpiece
Yup
Always gets the feels going
Right up behind ya tearing up buddy
Weeping has commenced 💔
The main song that destroys me emotionally..
Vessel just casually having an existential crisis at his Nans 👌
We've all done it
Love this comment 😂
hahahaha thats funny
😂😂😂
@@Rothley131gamezz More than once.
Never heard more vulnerable emotion in one human’s voice. This song saved me
Bold of you to assume Vessel is human
No kidding man.
If you liked this singing style you might like Lewis Capaldi stuff and also James Arthur stuff, his song Train Wreck is really good.
vulnerable. i loved that word to describe this, i could not find it. thank you. sounds vulnerable
There are so many songs with emotion pouring from the vocals. Here's a list of a few:
Snuff - Slipknot
Deathbeds - BMTH
Daddy - KoRn
James Arthur - Trainwreck

I was pregnant and lost my baby. I found this song and it heals my soul. I feel you. ❤
Music transcends. The talents of this band is astonishing. I’m glad you find solitude in their music.
I hope you're doing okay out there. This happened to me in January, it's been a hard road. I just saw Sleep Token live a few weeks ago and it was cathartic and incredible, even if he's singing about a very different type of loss.
Superb
"I'm still your favorite regret, You're still my weapon of choosing"
This is absolutely beautiful ❤ I am in love w this song! Vessel's voice w the piano is hypnotizing.
This man has such a powerful way with words. A lot of people meme it, but he truly speaks in cursive.
I love how you described him. I've been trying to do the same and these words explain him perfectly to me. He truly speaks in cursive
He speaks cursive is the best analogy I’ve ever heard
One of my favorite analogies I read someone say also was that listening to each ST song and album is like discovering a new colour.
He achieves the level of lyrical calligraphy in some songs.

Producer: What genre are you guys?
Sleep Token: Yes.
Exactly ❤
Definitively not Salsa!
It is the imperfections in his voice, the cracks and breaks, that were left in the recording on purpose that makes Vessel one of the most amazing singers and artists in our time. This song sounds like a first take, live recording and that is just incredible.
Im convinced that Sleep Token can't do wrong.

Are you reaaaaally okayyyy? ❤❤❤ worship. That song tears me up..every..single..time.
Exactly how I felt when I discovered Sleep Token. Honestly, it’s almost all I’ve listened to since July. The feeling doesn’t go away.
Sleep Token. The band you never knew you needed in your life until you hear them and then can't live without. Never heard a more truly beautiful band in my life.... My life is better for finding this band. 🖤🖤

Iv never been so obsessed with a band or artist. Their music/ his voice and lyrics will wake you up and feel things again.
Yep
Truth. I've felt more motivated to write again listening to them!.
I love how he is able to use his vocal fry in tandem with this. It's the balance of the gentle singing and then he sprinkles in that grit and raw emotion at just the perfect moments.
That voice is everything. Worship
Didn't think I'd find you here haha, that's badass! Worship
Worship
Worship
Hard Core Didn’t know you were into Sleep Token! Worship! 🤘
Worship ❤😊
the emotion in this man’s voice is insane. can’t listen to this song without getting teary

This band is blowing my effing mind.
Vore was the first track I heard from them.
They've consumed my entire week.
Welcome to Worship
Lol week. It doesn't stop. Let it swallow you.
You'll become addicted
Its been over a year since I've found them. Its an addiction I don't want to lose. Worship
"consumed" Whether or not you meant it, nice.

I'm sorry
I'm so sorry...
Jesus christ, I'm so sorry. I hope you're hanging in there. Much love from kentucky ❤
I'm so sorry man. That's horrible. We are all here for you.
I want to roll the numbers
I want to feel my stars align again
Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin
And the heavens just won't open up for me
Would you invite me in again?
Won't you pay for your arrogance?
Won't you show me your weakness?
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
So let's play
And somewhere
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing
I'm still your favourite regret
You're still my weapon of choosing
And out there
Stuck in a quantum pattern
Tangled with what I never said
You say it doesn't matter
I want to be forgiven
I want to choke up chunks of my own sins
Even if the sky cracks in the morning
And the heavens just won't open up for me
Would you invite me in again?
Let me pay for my arrogance
Won't you show me your weakness?
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
And somewhere (I made loving you a blood sport)
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing (I made loving you a blood sport)
I'm still your favourite regret (I made loving you a blood sport)
You're still my weapon of choosing (I can't win)
And out there (I made loving you a blood sport)
Stuck in a quantum pattern (I made loving you a blood sport)
Tangled with what I never said (I made loving you a blood sport)
You say it doesn't matter
there! we got some fuckin lyrics. thanks dogg!
Even if the sky cracks in mourning*
Thanks for the lyrics

The night I saw Vessel sing is one burned into my memory. Never heard of Sleep Token till they went on stage. I came in with high hopes for the main band. But left with higher aspirations for what music Sleep Token is capable of.
Same story for me except I came to see Polyphia instead of the main band
If Issues was "the
main band" you went to see then you're still stuck on entry level 😅🤣😂
@@nicholasmisiak4724 Not even familiar with “Issues”
Had this at the weekend seeing Architects. Sleep Token blew me away. Been delving into their music ever since
@@jamieheps Same here - saw them at Ally Pally in London and have been listening to Sleep Token since
If this band doesn’t become one of the biggest bands I will riot. WORSHIP
For real. They are really good.
Derk Ender found out about them from The State Of The Scene podcast and couldn’t stop listening. Absolutely amazing musicians
Tell me the place and time ☺️🖤 Worship !
It will. I'm sure
Whats up with the use of 'worship' when talking about the band? Am I missing something?
I sent this to my sister shortly before she passed unexpectedly. It’s hard to even listen now as much as I love this song. Rip Allie 🖤
Sorry for your loss fam, my condolences and I hope things get better, somehow.
I found out Sleep Token cover of Is It Really You shortly after my grandpa passed away, so that's the one that hits hard for me too.
Rest in peace Allie
rest in peace beautiful soul. she lives on through you, in your heart, and she will forever. wishing you the best, shay… never stop singing along to this song because it will always hold that memory of allie and that’s the most painful yet beautiful part about it. you are so strong, and allie was too. keep looking forward… for her, but most importantly for yourself. live an amazing life for you and allie, and keep pushing on. much love, shay.. from a random lonely internet stranger. 🖤
Very sorry for your loss
RIP allie. 🎠
This Sleep Token journey that I am on is mind blowing... I had no clue who Sleep Token was before Will Ramos covered it.... This band is amazing
Same. An incredible band covered by another incredible singer.
Kind of the opposite. Been listening to sleep token for a long time, just started following Ramos a few months ago. Both legendary talents. Would kill to hear an official collab
Welcome
Same so fucking thankful this band was like a drug to me
Same. I'm so glad bc I am in love with Sleep Token. Worship 🙌🏻
I just can't believe that the world isn't talking about these guys. They must be heard, they deserve it. Worship & greetings from Russia ❤️🇷🇺
I tell everybody about them. Shit I even posted like 3 songs on my IG. I'm deff posting this too.
Полностью с тобой согласен
I try my hardest to share but literally no one around me appreciates them and it breaks my fkn heart
I d coded it’s the type of music that if someone doesn’t get straight away they just don’t get it
100% with you!
Cheers from Sweden
Christ Vessel should have heaps of awards for his lyrics. damnit man those words are so beautifully delicately entangled in hurt and in love
Hey so anyone else know the feeling when you've spent almost a decade feeling completely numb, fearing that life and music just don't affect you the same way anymore, rationalizing it away with blanket statements like "I guess I'm just getting older" while secretly wondering what's broken in you and berating yourself for your own inability to feel, when suddenly a song randomly plays while driving and you're pulled over weeping in a Wawa parking lot as 9 years of emotional catharsis erupts from deep within and you're left feeling exhausted, depleted, and yet for the first time in recent memory... human again?
I do now.
Thank you, Sleep Token.
Goodness me this was a real comment. Thank you for this. Damn true.
I do believe you have hit it on the head. Vessel's voice just destroys me and I'm left in pieces ~ every time. It's like my spirit needed a jolt toward healing by ripping up an old set of inner wounds. Then, I really internalize the lyrics to Missing Limbs, Levitate, The Love You Want, Alkaline, The Offering and I'm left wondering, where do I go from here? Talk about the Great Reset.
Your comment just spoke to me...I feel the exact same way for a whole decade now.
Can we start some kind of club
I have screenshot this comment in a non creepy way because it stuck in my head a few months ago. And. It kept on circling on inside my brain and I just had to revisit it. Now it is immortalised on my shitty Huawei. Thanks.
Most of sleep token songs about love are basically him either trying to fighting off his love for someone either because they don't love him anymore or the relationship was just too toxic for both of them but it's hard to just stop loving someone so u just keep repeating the cycle over and over again and u end up losing a part of yourself in the process
ST are the literal definiton of 'listening to every genre'
Discovered this band literally 15 minutes ago.
Im a fan now.
Facts
Same bro
It doesn’t take long
Literally one of the best vocalist I’ve ever heard of. WORSHIP
as a clean vocalist, I AGREE!
vessel has that raw pain and passion in his voice that just elevates ANY song you give him,,, i mean his hey ya cover made me BAWL
The torment infused in this song, in this performance, in every performance of this song, it's absolutely soul-crushing. I've yet to hear a performance of this song, studio or otherwise, where Vessel doesn't break apart by the end, and I find myself breaking apart right along side him. Because I've been in the place that this song depicts, and the words are weaved so beautifully that the scars from my own trauma start to ache again as if they'd only been inflicted yesterday.
With the release of Euclid earlier this year, I can only hope that the man has achieved some degree of peace in overcoming the pain he's been forced to endure. Vessel insists that we saved him and not the other way around... I disagree. Whatever validation he may have gotten from the reception to his music may have helped to pull him from the darkness, but I know it goes without saying that this music, and all of Sleep Token's music, has done at least a little of the same for each and everyone of us here.
We are all of us more than the masks we wear. We are all of us more than the burdens we carry and the trauma we endure. We are all of us more than our mistakes, our faults, our guilt. We are all of us human - mind and body, flesh and bone, desperately searching for meaning amid our finite mortal coil. But the beauty of life doesn't come from fate, or from who we think we are or who we believe we are meant to be. The beauty of life is having been born, and from being alive to experience this world now, at this very moment.
Through all the smiles, through all the sorrow, and through every shade of life in between, the night belongs to us.
just dried my eyes from vessel's delivery of this song, and your comment made me cry all over again. 😭
Heard this for the first time last week and well, it’s been stuck in my head since. “Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing” hits harder than a brick.
Never seen a Sith Lord play piano until now
Under rated comment
Vessel lookin like he bout to eat a planet or sum just because
@@VioletAOP416 darth nihilus doesnt even come close
@@VioletAOP416 gonna destroy a solar system because his heart is breaking
Jedi's wear black too 😂
Vessel- you have healed my heart with this song. My life was falling apart and when I stumbled upon SleepToken, I found a sense of purpose again. So, thank you for saving my life.❤
Vessel you have no idea of the absolute clarity this song has had on my damaged soul. Thank you. Your pain in this song has allowed me to start healing. I see why people love you and this band so very much
You're much more than just another band. Many more years and love and respect to you. Thank you so much.
I'm crying again. I just wanted to leave a comment again here. When I have pent up emotions I just listen to Blood Sport and Are you really okay then start crying. All the emotions that i wanted to get out of my system. The disappointments that i have been feeling with myself. I released it thru crying. Sleep Token just casually saving me from being suicidal by bawling my eyes out, it helps me a lot. Hope they know how their songs affected our life. You've been such a blessing from universe. I love you. 🖤🖤 Hope y'all get big to have a tour in Asia. I really wanted to see you guys ....
I'm really happy you're alive
Never heard someone sing with so much passion and emotion.
I had the privilege of seeing Sleep Token live, if you think this band isn’t going to absolutely shatter your expectations of what it means to see a band live you’re absolutely mistaken. It’s a spiritual experience all on its own. Sleep token has deserves ever positive feedback back they have been given. I can’t not WAIT to see how they develop for years to come. They will always hold a special place in my heart, and I think that holds true for many other fans.
The vocals on this are even more powerful than the original!
Right.
As an amateur vocalist, I'm a total sucker for these slight cracks of his voice. I just love how emotional his voice is, yet he has full control over it!
@@ptr_does_music7042 Vessel has one the best mixed voices I have ever heard to this day
Theres a live full band performance i saw on YT that hit so hard with the vox. It came out before the actual song
Completely agree.
The piano adds such a somber mood, and it became a more beautiful song with only the piano and nothing else.
I disagree; I think it's equal to the original if not slightly worse. But I still love this version and the rest of the room below
totally agree. I bought the album yesterday and was mad because I didn't realize there was more than one version. This version is about his voice and the lyrics. Had to buy the "from the room below" version today.
There’s about 5 or 6 Sleep Token songs that I listen to in a different mental state to 99% of other songs made ever. This is one them. Mesmerising and beautiful, I really love this band.
The "I'm still your favorite regret, you're still my weapon of choosing" hit my heart so hard and I don't even know why it just did
3 months in as a Sleep Token fan and all I can say is wow. And I’m still binging every single song and letting everyone I know about them.
Love how the singing turns into gentle screaming. And of course that piano playing🔥
This is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
This band, this man, they raised the bar. Far, far up high. Lyrics, Vocals, Emotionality, Soundscape (especially the drums, well, not in this case but you know what I mean), Band dynamics. High high high.
literally cried my eyes out from how beautiful this mans voice is.
voice of an angel.
Not an Angel
Has anyone played this song while driving then started singing along then crying and singing your heart out half way into it or am i the only one?
All the time man even while working sometimes haha
Hell yeah man. All the time when I first heard it.
Late to the party but this is my daily ritual when i'm driving to work.
Is there any other way to sing along with sleep token?
Me too🙏🏽
This song hits home - the emotion in this is heartbreaking and beautiful.
I keep coming back to this whenever my heart hurts.
Same, Vessel.
Same.
Came back to this song to think of Jen. I lost her last year. Stress in a better place now. This song definitely make me think of her. And makes me smile.
No band has come close to the place Tool holds in my heart...until Sleep Token.
I didn't get a permission slip for this feels trip.
It's ok bro, you can come with us.
🥰
Yet I'm allowed to continuously return here.
The way Vessel's voice broke multiple times throughout this song speaks to me. The pain, the frustration, the torment he is going through... No genre can describe Steel Token's song so well and I'm happy that they chose to be eclectic with their rituals.
Vessel pours his soul out on the piano! Bravo my favorite cult. Blessed be! 🖤
he sounds so emotional and real with this song and it hits on a more emotionally deeper level that makes you feel his emotions in this song
Sleep token songs are like a hill song for me. It gives me chills. I've discovered them very recently. I'm not regretting to start worship. Vessel's voice is giving me warm for some reasons
I lost my dad-in-law on August 22, rn a week ago, listening to Blood Sport makes me sob sm since I have to think about him while listening to it. I have to thank u guys too for ur amazing music. Before and during that time of grief you comforted me in every single way possible. Thank you for existing, thank you for the amazing music!
We are all beautifully broken looking for our puzzle piece and Vessel describes exactly that! We're not all perfect but there is someone that will love us for whatever we are❤️
This song always destroys me. I feel all of my ego break away, and all of my emotion flood. A moment in time from my past is all I see. A complete resonance with something I thought was dead. Thank you so much. 🙏
Its so amazing to see an artist that is so emotionally involved in their craft, both physically and vocally. Vessel has such a clear love for his music and it's just so beautiful.
❤
first time hearing this in 2024 and i have only one question for you Vessel.. HOW DO YOU MAKE A MASTERPIECE MORE DEPRESSING THAN IT ALREADY IS, THIS IS SURPRISINGLY THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE MADE ME CRY.. we didn't deserve such a talented band.
I have to admit I was expecting a brutal song when I saw the title. Well played, Sleep Token.
That growl that starts when he sings "somewhere" hits me just right 😭🥰😭🥰
1:30 Gives me massive chills everytime. God damn this dude sings with every single emotion in his body. I havent found music that made me feel this way in a long time. Thank you, Sleep Token. ❤
I have no words to describe how this song makes me feel. I'm obsessed with this band.
"I'm still your favorite regret,
you're still my my weapon of choosing."
Hits me every time
When I was a kid, my piano teacher used to tell me that my fingers had to be curled enough for a mouse to run beneath them. Vessel has taught me that this has absolutely nothing to do with art. This is a masterpiece.
I’m intrigued by the way he plays the piano
His voice is beautiful i wish id discovered them earlier but enjoy exploring all they have to offer. The man is a real wordsmith with the ability to look into your life and just rip those emotions right out of you. And i let him without regret. Fantastic band 🖤✌️🎶
I love this song. I have found someone I never want to lose. Sometimes we aren’t so good for each other. But out of everything and everyone I have ever loved, the thought of losing them, makes me feel this song almost wholly. I am praying we always work on it and come back together so I don’t actually have to feel this. I don’t think I’d survive it.
Sleep Token has been a saving grace for me this year.
I miscarried twins earlier in the year, and this song is on repeat often.
“Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing, I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing. And out there stuck in the quantum pattern, tangled with with what I never said… you say it doesn’t matter.
I want to be forgiven..”
Thank you for the most meaningful music out there.
I have not been through what Vessel has been through. I can't pretend to understand what was going through his head in that moment in time. So why does my heart ache and my eyes grow wet with tears each time I listen to this song?
Just started listening to Sleep Token, and damn I did not expect them to make me cry so damn much. 😢 abesolutely beautiful. Their lyrics are always TOP TIER
I agree with you 1000%.. I too just now discovered them.. So deep do the words "I made loving you a blood sport"... I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this band on a emotional level..
I still cry over them lol. This band hit my soul. Feels like falling in love, but its music. Its crazy to explain. Worship
This is as heavy as a sun dying and imploding on itself. Its when your in love and your heart feels so purely for someone who can never reciprocate and feel as deep as you do and the painful, slow realization keeps hitting you time and time again while you keep getting back up bleeding, knocked down yet again. This is so relatable beyond words. Dam I love Sleep token!! Fucking Worship!
Was just introduced to SLEEP TOKEN and they are absolutely amazing!! So many GREAT songs. My favorites are BLOOD SPORT and THE SUMMONING!! PHENOMENAL MATERIAL!!!
You have no idea how good it feels to those of us longer time fans to see comments like this. I’ve been obsessively supporting this band for two years at least because I KNEW they deserved to be huge. The time has finally come and the emotional response both to the music itself and the feeling that all my efforts played a part is so powerful. I hold this band so close to my heart and am stoked for others to do so as well!
i feel this like the beat in my own chest. the lyrics hit home for me, as do many sleep token songs do... this one just resonates a bit more.
"So let's play" is one of the most heart-wrenching moments I've ever heard in a song. Truly beautiful 🎵
When you hear a song so heartbreakingly beautiful, that you feel like you heard a secret you shouldn't have. His Voice is beautiful with soul gripping reach.❤️
It’s always different when you see someone in this much pain, and so beautifully expressed. I hope I never have to go back there again.
Used this for my wedding last month. It made for a very emotional dance
I'm in love with the lyrics of this song. "Somewhere, the atoms stopped fusing" makes me think of a dying sun, everything around it sinking slowly and inexorably into the darkness preceding a supernova.
This man’s voice always hits me like I’m hearing it for the first time.
I seriously can't get bored of hearing this version.
This might be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
If you haven't already heard it, listen to "Fall For Me". I defy you not to weep like a baby at the combination of lyrical and visual perfection.
@@jeanproctor3663okay, I’ll check it out now
You guys have become my favorite band and its wild being that you guys are on the opposite end of the genre i like. I have to see you guys live in 2025 i hope?!?
I love how the lyrics barely change but through each verse there’s anger/sarcasm, then regret/accountability, then hope.
Never has a song completely fit my life right now! My wife and I have been through the wringer with each other, but are still madly in love and are finally in a good spot! It’s not always sunshine in roses, sometimes it’s a bloodsport, and honestly, it makes you appreciate it so much more.
Keep coming back over and over and over and over again… you can really feel the hurt in every word he sings… makes it that much easier to connect with and really appreciate his music more ❤❤
I'm legit entranced by this song. Chills listening to it. It pulls memories of my life out and plays them for me.
The pain in his voice when he says “somewhere; somewhere the atoms stopped fusing; I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing” …Vessel you okay man? 😢
Feel the same wish to ask him.
Never saw a piano cry before. What a song! ❤❤❤❤❤
Listening to this song 10 times in a row... crying hard...so powerfull...
An artist with the ability to express in song the humanity we all feel. A true gift to humanity. Thank you vessel.
