- Footage by the talented, Carly Yamarick ( / carlyyam ) - "Hearing" is from the Sleeping At Last album, "Atlas: Senses" - get it here: open.spotify.com/album/2xxEGc...
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.
I feel like people who regularly listen to this type of music could hold the deepest conversations, you know the type of people you could talk to for hours and never get bored.
Same
You're right

Lettsss talkkk
The people who love Sleeping at Last I feel like are truly beautiful people.
You're just as beautiful.
And we all have something in common, the music speaks to us.
I love all of you.

You don’t find true beauty like this everywhere you go. This is something unique
AtypicalWeirdo
Something special
AtypicalWeirdo
And something that deserves to last. Not all could hear the music that the universe saves for its beloved
this is like weird and hard to explain, but this song sounds exactly like what I felt when I stopped being sad and scared all the time and actually started living
💙💙💙💙💙
That's truly beautiful
Your comment, amazingly described my situation, rn. 🌸
That is my thoughts as well, I made a promise to myself yesterday where I'd live my life to the fullest. This comment helped me make that promise. Thank you.
Madison Thompson not weird at all. I feel like this song speaks to people in different ways.
I don’t know how, but this feels like being able to breathe, after a long time of struggling for some air.
it really gives you the feeling of hope
This is the best description of this song I’ve read yet
Wow....yeah, it does
OH MY GOD SOMEONE SAID IT!! IVE THOUGHT FOR SO LONG THAT THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE HOW BREATHING FEELS
Exactly it made me want to cry. and this is exactly why. normally I have to get used to songs to like them but i was immediately drawn to this piece
I was inspired to write this poem a year ago when I first heard this song:
Many hear without listening
Still more speak without sense
Sadly some sleep without dreaming
Or worse yet,
Live without meaning
But to those of us
who stop and listen
Take a breath
Find our bearings
The peaceful sounds surround
The discovered joy of hearing
-Kent Campbell
Beautifully written & spoken. Thank you.

P.S., does your poem have a name?
@@lataviawilliams8986 nope- but since it's based on the song 'hearing' that's what I was going with
this is so beautiful.
This is lovely!
Absolutely beautiful
I have hearing problems due to the fact that I dont have a left eardrum, I was sitting on my bed waiting for the words to come but they didn't. That's when I realized they weren't supposed to..... I listened to the music as it poured into me, and that's when it was clear to me for the first time, its not about the words being said, its about the words unsaid and the words people can't hear. Its about expressing oneself only through feeling, and the only way to describe that is beautiful. I don't know, maybe I'm just hearing things.....
Rose Gilliam lol. I didn't know. I'm pretty crazy sometimes and have a tendency to hear things.
I don't know you but I absolutely love you for this. Please go check this page, www.sleepingatlast.com/blog/hearing-how-it-was-made Ryan told the story behind the creation of Hearing, I'm pretty sure you are going to love it. And of course you're not "hearing things" at least with this song; let me know if you read the blog. Greetings! :3
MaKennon Layton wow! Wonderfully put.
even the comments can be poetic sometimes like this.
Beautifully said love!
this song is like growing up.
how innocent and soft the first notes are and nearing the middle, your life gets more confusing, this is adolescence. As you get into adulthood, the notes become more and more intense. There's more going on, there's a lot to be figured out. There's joy, sadness, emptiness, fulfillment. It's all a mix. In the end, there's a chaotic calm.. In the chaos, you have finally found a balance. It's not gonna go back to the innocent and soft notes of childhood but you have settled down and found a balance that will help you live.
I just found Sleeping at Last and OMG I love this song.
What a beautiful interpretation. I love this and honestly made me tear up reading.
This song brings out my romantic side wishing that I could find someone that listens to this music and understand why it means so much more
I hope you can find someone that enjoy this song like you do, and if they don't understand just be pure and genuine and tell them how you feel. Everyone deserve to be loved with empathy

It really isn’t only this aspect of myself but it’s also the total weirdness that makes up my personality, which makes it less than likely to find someone that likes me for me but your so sweet to take the time and say that so thank you🥰😊, someone like you deserves someone that makes your heart beat and your soul sing, I hope you also find someone to bring out your uniqueness 🙃😇😊
Oh same here! 😞
🥺🥺🥺
@@sadbirdsstillsing6011 you sound sweet, surely someone coming your way💜
Of the five songs on this ep Hearing was the only one with no words, thus allowing you to not only hear but to listen every key and every instrument....your ability to hear is not a privilege everyone has but for those that do, it’s amazing that we can hear music like this and for it to resonate with you
Cassidy Gadsden you are truly wise, because we have this extraordinary ability to hear and we take that for granted everyday.
“The perfect band doesn’t exi-“
im gonna stop you right there, here is the prefect band "Sleeping At Last" .
Better watch your words boi.
Trolling he/shemust be bored 😂
not a band, just one guy
@@userdefault7705 woosh
it's so funny to think when she stop right at the last word after knowing this band 😂😂
It’s so rare to find artists these days that convey such feeling through their work. I love how the melody gets more intense as the song nears its end. The emotion in their music can vary depending on how you choose to interpret it. I close my eyes and drift away in their songs, and feel comforted knowing that someone feels the same way as I do.
last night I dreamt about my grandmother. she was a tiny woman with a little hump on her back. it strikes me that I cannot remember the details of her face, but of her hands. they were big, with thin soft fingers that would caress your face any time they could. she smelled good like fresh soap and had always a smile for her grandchildren and kind words only. it still pains me to think of her, but in a way like this song does. in a way like I know her love is not lost. it's still there somewhere and it's like I can grasp it at times. probably it's in me reflecting it on everything and everyplace I see and touch, in the sounds and beauty of life.

Way to melt my heart even more. Cobe Bryant died today, and just a minute ago I found out that his daughter died with him as well. She was 13, and he just had a newborn. I feel so sad right now😢. No one deserves to go through that
This song makes me feel like I'm suddenly on the outside, looking at the entire world through glass. It makes me reflect on my entire life and acknowledge every beautiful and miserable moment. It's like it forces everything into perspective and makes me see everything as it is. I don't fucking know how music is doing all that but it's doing it. So beautiful.
you described it perfectly
I couldn't help but cry while listening to this, it was just so overwhelming, all that emotion ...
Nour Joseph same!!
Nour Joseph
Well you just experienced your transition
Nour Joseph
If you were going through some stuff that was hard on you, and your crawling out of that hole that it built, this is the song that symbolizes that
If I ever became blind, this would be the first thing I'd want to listen to. The beginning especially makes me feel comforted and full of joy that no matter what happens I will be held by my father in heaven. Reminds me of when I was a child and something scary would happen or I'd be in a dark room and feel alone, I'd have to just face the fear and know that everything would be okay. That's the most comforting feeling in the world.
Don't worry I'm here for you
We are here for you
We will go through this together
We will be together at start and at last.
Stay strong, we are one.
You are beautiful and you are loved.
♡
♥️
Thank you so much for this....
thank you for this
Thank you so much and I'm here for you too
I wish someone would actually say that to me 😕
This makes me feel like I'm not in the world anymore but flying in the space. I don't know, it's just a weird feeling, but I love it.
After not being able to cry for over weeks this song just makes me relax and before I know it tears are falling down....of happiness that I’m able to cry again and knowing that I’m not alone
words are incapable to explain how much i love sleeping at last
everything is so pure
isabel
Words are incapable of conveying the meaning, value, emotion, and grasp of this song to everyone out there
Please never stop making music. 💚
I love that in the song called 'Hearing, the visual was of fire- more specifically, of silent fire. You can imagine without effort the quiet crackling, the subtle roar that always comes with small flames. Hearing isn't always factual; sometimes it's the things we don't have to hear to understand that are truly special.
You can listen to what they say without them saying any words just instruments talking.
Beautifully said!
Believe it or not, there are lyrics sung in this masterpiece. At 3:04 a quiet chant of "love is an echo" can be heard, and it repeats occasionally throughout the rest of the song!
When I hear this song, I hear Jesus. The strength and gentleness. The great love he carries for us, when he carried that cross for us. Knowing us to the core and still doing it anyway. So we could be with Him always. This is what I hear. The simplicity that we so commonly let slip through our hands because we cannot fathom what it means to be completely known and completely loved. Beautiful song.
Yesss!! Finally found someone that makes the same connection 😭
I wonder if the artist is also Christian
Thank you for this comment. Jesus is my Lord & savior, and I feel this too ❤️
Another beautiful micro music video. I think this one is one of my favourites, I felt mesmerized and hypnotized by the movement of the fire, and the song fit in perfectly
Mario Rodriguez yes bro, I am also on drugs
WOW THIS I HAVE NO WORDS😢❤😍
I’m not sure why but this song makes me think about how sometimes you feel so strongly about something or someone that you are utterly consumed by it, like the fire consuming and burning up the paper, you love something so much you can ultimately be destroyed by it
It's funny how simple the video is, just burn paper slowly... and we are good. And it's beautiful
All i need right now is to read beautiful book and drink coffee or tea and listen to this music
Abrar baeesa i'm doing it rn😁👌
Go Har enjoy then💛
Abrar baeesa thanks! A big hug from Armenia ❤😁
i can't read and listen to music at the time.
Eleanor Wiliams you know sometimes i feel like it depends on the kind of book you read.. like i can focus on reading if it was simple novel and hear this kind of music -without singing- so yes sometimes I can’t focus.
This song feels like something I haven't felt in a very long time. It progresses the same way words and feelings do when you can say what is on your mind and you know there is someone on the other end listening and genuinely caring. I don't know exactly how but that's what I get from it.
Whenever I listen to these micro music videos or to Sleeping At Last, I always feel like I'm drifting weightlessly over my sadness and pain. However, it also make me feel that there is always a light, there is HOPE. Thank you SAL :)
You know, every time I listen to this song I feel like none of my ‘problems’ in life really matter anymore. This song is truly transcendent and just takes me to a place of peace and happiness. It makes me understand that there is a beauty, peace and happiness within life my life - I just have to choose to listen to those voices of positivity, I just have to choose to hear God ❤️
Thank you Sleeping At Last
I have been listening to your music, and specifically this piece, everyday for the past few years. It keeps me alive. It reminds me there are still beautiful things left in this world. I always find myself going back to 'hearing' since it brings out what I am feeling that no words can explain.
This song helps me with my anxiety. Thank you so much for this treasure gold❤
More like "Healing" ~
this is the best band that I've ever heard. Sleeping at last is one of the best bands in the world. I have no doubt that other people agree.
no song has ever been able to move me to tears. no matter how strong my connection has been with the song. this. this song. this song brought me to tears. i could feel the teardrops streaming down my face. having this experience was pure euphoria. i will never forget the moment that this masterpiece came into my life.
Meu Deus , é tao singelo esses toques .. Amo dms ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your music! It really helps with my anxiety and I always love how meaningful the lyrics of your songs are!
É o tipo de música rara que desperta em vc um sentimento de eternidade!
Hey there wonderful soul~ since someone else mentioned they wondered what people were like who listened to this kind of music, what kind of things they had to say; I’m putting it here if anyone wants to introduce themselves and say hello 👋🏽☺️
( Even though this comment is years later than the one I read but worth a shot! )
Also, thank you from the bottom of my heart sleeping at last for the pure music you put out here with meaning and depth and authenticity to it. We all need it. 🙏🏽
this touched me so much, i don’t know how i feel
This is quite possibly my favorite song. It's especially beautiful without lyrics. Something about this song, at each crest in the music, makes me feel like it, rather than air and blood, fills my lungs and heart. It's peace and a home and the beauty of nature for me. Had the opportunity to share it with my mother while she was ill a while back and it made her feel strong and alive. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is the most beautiful visual and audial combination, ever. It speaks.
Im not joking when I say that this made me emotional, gave me a storyline, didn't give me a headache, etc.
Your music is so amazing.
Keep going..please.
This song just made me cry. I haven't had the easiest life but for the past month almost 2 months I've been the happiest I've ever been. I've been living with the people I babysit for and I'm going to be a live in nanny. They treat me so good. They treat me like I'm apart of their family. I'm gonna be here for a few years and they're gonna help me with future goals and such. I am finally happy.
Having a rough time. Sleeping at last always calms me down. Thank you
Beautiful music and amazing video as always. We love you ryan, your music is the best!
BEAUTIFUL SONG... hypnotized by this as the winter is slowly coming in.
They have said the words I couldn't express without even using any words.
Simplesmente maravilhoso 😍😍😍 Ryan merecia mais reconhecimento, porém também quero todas as músicas só pra mim❤
sei bem como é!!
Simply beautiful...
This song is so emotional for me, as I see my Mom waiting for me at the shopping centre we used to go to when I listen to it😔
I’m in floods of tears every time I listen to it, but it also helps heal the pain of losing her.
For me, music should touch our senses, and this certainly does.
Truly beautiful!
I am so sorry for your loss, May she rest in peace 🙏🏻🙂
beautiful 😍
É impossível não amar,impossível cansar de ouvir,é viciante,arrepiante!Sleeping at Last,Ryan 😍❤
This reminds me of peace. The love of God. Mercy. Forgiveness. A full love.
A hug of God.
The moment I realized this video was being played backwards was inspiring, and then the moment the song ended as soon as the flame disappeared... oh, that gave me chills.
Ahh yes, exactly what I need.. another sad video
I think it's hopeful.
who said it was sad?
That's sad 'cause YOU are sad atm. Hope you'll feel better :)
I love this piece of music but it is on my inspiration list not my depression list. It gives me hope and well being. I love this artist.
Happy New Years. For me, it’s 4 minutes until the end of 2022. I hope you’re doing well in the next year. Or the years after. Thanks for existing, stranger.
The song finished 10 seconds before midnight.
This is about hearing with the heart instead of needing lyrics.
oh the joy of listening to a soul-striking and healing song for the first time.
I can't describe this song with any other word than "reassurance". It's like the comfort I never heard, that whispers warmly to me and tells me "that everything will be alright at some point" I really don't know how to feel sometimes, I feel like I never grew up, that I'm stuck in the same place and time. But this song is like the warmth of a campfire in the middle of a dark forest, it makes me feel that I am accompanied by a real "someone".
Juste être coucher et voir la vie défilée nos yeux, juste en écoutant cette musique. Tellement émouvant, une force surnaturelle s'éveille en nous. Merci
Beautiful. Just beautiful. This song makes me feel worthy of being on Earth, makes me safe, proud, happy. Thank you Sleeping at last for making yet another masterpiece 💫
yes we are crying without lyrics also! Beautiful. So so so beautiful and peaceful.
This song vividly describes how I felt being lost and confused and then I opened the door to the love of my life ❤️
Reversing entropy, birth of a new phoenix from the ashes of despair. Human conciousness is a masterpiece the universe has ever created.
É o som que atinge a alma.
sou feliz por ter encontrado essa dupla maravilhosa. uma música mais bela que a outra.
exatamente. Supõe o céu de tão linda e pura.
Além "Saturn" e "Taste",pra mim essa é uma das melhores músicas
I discovered this song July 2022, immediately after i got dumped, i aint never cried so loud and so much, this song is helping me grieve for someone who isn't dead.
Your music has been a constant source of light in my life since I discovered it a couple years ago. Thank you for helping me to cry when I need to, to remember joy when I've forgotten it, wonder and hope... thank you.
I just want to thank you guys for existing.You´re a truly inspiration in my life and a comfort in my heart.
Sleeping At Last, with your beautiful songs... you saved me, from everything.
This makes me feel like I don't have to be in charge and keep my head up every single day. Maybe take 5 minutes to lay down, close my eyes and think nothing. Enjoy the silence and darkness like I met an old friend.
This song hits different when it's quiet and you're all alone at 3 am, watching the night sky.
Everytime i listen to anything by Sleeping At Last i just disconnect from this world and forget about all of my problems during the song, they’re just so amazing. I gotta thanks that Italian Got Talent audition that lead me to them. (Sorry if my English grammar is not very good)
My heart is pounding so fast because of hatred, I hate people, I hate hearing their opinions and being bias. But your music, it touched my heart from the very second, I felt like I was floating on the ocean. Your music speaks a thousand words, and I'm very glad I found you
This song reminded me of the late night drives I have with my family every Saturday night (a little family tradition my family has). In Summer with the windows down and a cool breeze coming through them. All we can hear is my dad's music and all I can feel is a sense of calmness. Like even though I might be struggling through something, nothing is wrong, and everything is peaceful.
Whenever I listen to this particular song, I always have a feeling that everyone and everything I've ever loved and ever will lives in this song. I know it's weird but it's such a wholesome thing to feel.
Amaaazing songs!🎶😍😍 Brasil loves youu💕
Larissa Lillian i Love that Song!!!
When fire heals you... It might burn, but if there us a chance that fire is working in a way you never thought it could, it can change the entire story. The music and visuals are a blessing thank you for letting me and others experience this, not just hearing it, but allowing it to feel part of us.
I am shaking after listening to this. It’s so beautiful. If I close my eyes I can just feel the pain. Let it wash over me, fill my whole body. And then when it recedes, I’m left feeling weak, but even stronger than before.
For me this is how meditation on the emotion of loving kindness feels/sounds
Such a moving video! beautiful emotional music with a completely convincing video. Excellent creative work!
Hearing without the need for words. Listening when there is beauty in rhythm. Thank you so much for this masterpiece.
when music can be the definition of a feeling, we can say it’s powerful.
good night from Philippines 🌃🌌🎧🎶💤
it's one of my favorite song from you. thank you for sharing this song again Sleeping At Last 😊
Freiances L hey fellow pinoy, pls help us preserve his music. don't make it mediocre here by abusing his music and playing it everywhere hehehe tnx
+G-Han Bax i don't know what you're talking about. I only know that I love Sleeping At Last so so much!! 😊💞
Freiances L Ibig kong sabihin, is that many among the SAL community have this deal that gusto natin yung music but at the same time mapreserve yung value nang song and band and its mystery. Point is, just don't abuse(share kahit kanino and play kahit saan) since his music are too personal. That's what most fans do.
+G-Han Bax there's nothing wrong with sharing specially with a beautiful, inspiring song and mesmerizing music video like this. gusto ko lang naman ipaalam sa buong mundo na merong talented musician like Sleeping At Last. 😊👍 I hope you understand, too.
good morning kababayan. ⛅
Freiances L of course I understand, I know what you feel. I was like that before when I first heard them years ago, but someone oriented me the same thing I was telling you.
Quem acha que Sleeping at last merece mais reconhecimento???
Eu!!!!! 🖐🏼✌🏼
believe me is not necesary alot of the artist that are famous have to do alot of shity things to get where they are now, is good hi has the recognisment that he needs, truly people who are more focous in the music than the images of a video (people dancing sexually and all of that)
Siiiim
Aham
Concerteza
i loved the way the video started. the calmness of the paper's ashes. it shows how feelings can die after so many struggles and disappointments . but you loose so many thing in the process of grieving. don't end up like the paper don't loose your self
Portrait of a lady on fire bought me here . Beautiful
Es una pieza verdaderamente hermosa. 💙 Es bueno relajarse & tomar un tiempo de reflexión con estas obras de arte.
So amazing... Thank you so much
Ive followed Sleeping at Last for a year now and this is always be one of my favorites. It doesnt need words to convey meaning, in fact they would only take it away. This song is an inspiration, so I thank you.
This music has the unique quality to make me feel so much out of absolutely nowhere.
The only way I can describe this song is “the embodiment of awakening.” It’s almost what I would think that the act of record would sound like. It means a lot to me
Very calming and soothing it's beautiful thank you for making such beauty 🙏💕
You're amazing .
You give people the calmness they need and that's beautiful .
Thank you💗
This songs makes me nostalgic every time. I can't get enough of it
To the people to can't i am hearing you.
To the people who won't I am hearing you.
To the people who shouldn't I am hearing you.
To the people: Never be told that no one believes in you. I don't know who you are, or anything about you, but I know that you can do anything.
you mean so much to this world and have a value far greater than any price. Be who you are not who people you want to be, because you are incredible, a talent, a skill, a motion, that can make this world that much better. Your actions matter, Your words matter, YOU matter.
Because remember, this stranger trusts you, believes in you, and can hear you.
People say it helps them...
I say it heals them.
I screenshot some comments to look back on when I'm down and yours is one of them
♥️♥️♥️♥️
This man makes me feel everything yet nothing all at once. What presence this has on my life.
I’ve been hearing impaired since birth. This means that I can hear but only slightly, and I struggle to hear particular sounds such as high frequencies. It’s not the same for everybody, people with hearing impairments can be moderate-severe. I will always worry about my future and whether I will become fully deaf when I’m older. If that day ever does come, and I lose my hearing forever, I will be forever grateful that I at least got to hear this masterpiece. Please take a moment to appreciate the instruments, sounds and overall melody, you never know when you might never hear it again ❤️
