"Wave After Wave" by Sleeping At Last (Official Lyric Video)

- Опубліковано 27 бер 2023
- "Wave After Wave" belongs to an unexpected collection of new songs I'm calling "Mother" which will release one at a time leading up to Mother's Day, 2023.
My mom passed away very suddenly last year in March. In the days right after, I sat down at my piano, which felt like a friend, and wrote a song called "Mother" in her honor. I tried to get back into writing songs for my Atlas: III project, but I wasn't ready. Instead, unexpected songs and themes began to surface that was my own way of processing and untangling the grief of such a huge loss in my life. Music is my way of understanding myself and so these songs naturally came to life from what I was experiencing. These "Mother" songs needed to be written before continuing on in my Atlas: III project.
It's bittersweet for this collection of music to begin to release now, at the first anniversary of losing my mom, but I'm really grateful for each of these songs, which felt deeply comforting to write. As we all have experienced loss and longing, I am honored to share them with you and hope that they can somehow be a source of comfort and connection for you as well. I'll be recording episodes of The Sleeping At Last Podcast for each song, talking through grief, death, loss and hope. Today, "To Be Enchanted" is out everywhere, along with its podcast episode.
Huge thanks to Sharon Gerber who played Cellos and Anya-Katerina Gerber who played Violins!! And to Chris Bethea for mastering this song, as well as artist, Joey Chou who painted the gorgeous cover art (Joey is one of my Mom's favorite artists of all time, so it means so much to me that he would be willing to create the cover art for each of these "Mother" songs)

Thank you for existing and making such beautiful music.
Couldn't agree more.
💯 agree. You are my top 5 artists. ❤ thank you.
Sleeping at last always coming in with music that absolutely makes my soul soar 🥰
Oh hello Lumi, I see you are someone with good music taste :D
Sleeping At Last, I hope you know how many lives you are saving with your music right now, including mine
On my way to a coffee shop tonight, I saw a woman who looked similar to my Mama. She's been gone for almost 9 years already but it still feels like it just happened last yr. This month is extra difficult because her death anniversary's coming up.... So I instinctively came here for comfort.
Thank you, Ryan. Your music has helped me process grief from the day I lost her.
I wish I could tell the world. If I ever look like someone you lost, you can always come ask for a hug. Much love to you, internet stranger ❤️
"I am remade, repaired, reshaped but somehow still the same" xpwofkkjcnaslasdj I LOVE THIS :))
It's been a hard year, healing takes time ❤
This is different. I have been closey listening to him for so long and in this song, somehow I hear someone else, variations that I did not pick up in the music before, it begins different, the progressions are different and it culminates better than most experience by repeating almost like a Mantra. I just feel that the late influence is cherished so well in this song. I love it!
Today I listen to this song as a mantra.
A like before even listening, never was wrong with you
Im so sorry for your loss❤ It’s such a devistating thing to go through and you can never really be prepaired for it. My mom also died suddenly infront of me and although it was almost 6 years ago it still kind of feels like it happened yesterday. I was 12 when she died and I feel like I have started to grieve more during recent years. Your music helps to put so many emotions into words and I cant wait for the album! Thank you💕 It will get easier, it just takes time and remember that she will always be so proud of you!
You'll never know me, but you have given voice to my most complicated emotions. I'm trying not to cry right now writing this.
I gathered from the comments that your mother passed away. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine that pain. I hope you're recovering.
Thank you for this beautiful song. This song reminds me of this phrases from Undertale.
"Despite everything, It's still You"
Running to listen another masterpiece
I think this song has hit me the hardest out of all your work. it's been a hard year. I lost my dad in February and am dealing with my own cancer diagnosis and this song just feels like the only time I've been understood in months
Love your take on the age old "replace everything riddle"
Another masterpiece. Soul satisfying.
Very nice and calm. I like it
This is beautiful... I've lost so much in the past year or two. everything has changed... but I'm still me. Somehow.
I feel the underlying current of pain in this song through its bittersweet tone and the flow of the strings and piano--it sounds like transformation and release to me. The part about it not making sense but listening to your body is an impactful line... Healing does come in waves and takes time. Thank you for expressing your feelings through song!
Melting my heart again, Ryan?
Yes...
Lost my grandma 3 Weeks ago, it’s been hard. Thank you for your music. ❤
Peace comes to my mind, thank you
I'm incredibly grateful that, despite the challenges you've faced, you've discovered your true identity. It's no laughing matter; recognizing your own name signifies a newfound self-worth after enduring tough times. These past years have been rough for all of us, but guess what? Your music is what keeps us going, giving us an indescribable feeling that somehow helps us persevere. Let's call it a glimmer of hope, or better yet, a motivation to keep fighting. Life may not be fair, but we must strive to overcome every injustice.
"It's been a hard year. It's been a high tide. I can't make it make sense, but my body decides."
This song has hit me like a tsunami, not a wave at all.
Lost my mum to cancer, she didnt give birth to me she took me in to prevent any more childhood trauma. Got me the correct help for my autism and adhd. She spent the last couple years of her life dealing with my epilepsy flaring up. I knew something was wrong, but she refused to go to a dr, so i refused to come home from my autism school. While i wasn't home, she stopped denying she had a problem, but it was too late. Within 2 weeks of her diagnosis, she passed. And we didn't get to make up properly because she had no understanding (a fast growing brain tumour gave her cognitive impairments). I need her back so i can explain i didnt leave out of hatred, i left out of love. I was cryptic and avoided all communication because i needed her to get help, i could smell it and even noticed it in her heavy breathing and different behaviour. I needed her around and i love her so deeply. Instead all i did was shorten the time we could have had together and the guilt is haunting me. Its like she is missing from this world and i cant say anything to my family because i am non-verbal. I also feel that these words are something to be said out loud with love and pain coursing through my voice. I hope everyone who has a voice uses it all of the time. Never take for granted what others do not have, the little things will forever matter. ✨️ i wish to be with her again. I never was someone to believe in spiritual or religious titles but i am hoping that something of the sort exists so that we can reunite again, the love and care i have needs to explode towards her 💜. I hope someone reads this and maybe has some advice or caring words :/ even reading this far is enough to be honest, thank you.
I work at a nursing home at night. One of my residents that I have known since I was a little girl(I had always called him my grandpa) just passed away a day ago. I got to work getting ready to do post mortem cares, cover the mirror in the room, open the window, and fill a basin with warm water to clean him up. I had been bracing myself for his coming death, I know it was coming, but as I was cleaning him, listening to my music hoping it would keep me from crying this song came on and I heard something fall over by the window I had opened as the song came on. I felt his soul leave the the building and I was crying so hard I couldn't even see. Luckily one of my coworkers came in, she told me I was too close to him for me to do his post mortem cares and I should go sit down. I sat at the nurses station with this song on repeat just crying. I don't know if this was grandpa saying goodbye to me but maybe it was.
He amado esta canción desde el primer instante en que la escuché. Realmente Ryan hace maravillas con la música. Se ha vuelto mi favorita después de East, la he reproducido cientos de veces y estoy segura que jamás me cansaré de escucharla. De verdad gracias Ryan
cant wait for more omg
Hi! So sorry for your loss. You will always, and forever be in her proud heart. This is another beautiful song! Thank you! 💞
Thank you for this beautiful moving song. I'm so sorry for your loss, I pray that your mother is resting somewhere peaceful now❤❤
This past years I was waiting new music from you, music that like the first time I heard you, makes me feel that "life is a miracle" and here you are, you are back with that feeling...Thank you Ryan
Your music makes me feel so many different emotions, it is absolutely beautiful! ❤️❤️

I lost my mom three months ago, and this first song already punched me in the face with emotions. Thank you, and I'm so sorry
I swear your music is magic. I was just listening to this over my tv. Mid the song i was like "alright hold on I'd rather listen thru my phone with headphones"
Absolutely gorgeous.

It’s been a hard year, Don’t disappear, healing takes time my dear💜. Justo en el momento correcto, Thanks💜💙 1:56
I immediately thought of the ship of theseus when I read the lyrics. Is it a reference to it maybe? Magnificent songs anyway!!!
Nice
Come to Brazil please 🇧🇷
nice
"What if" is a waste of precious time and space
It dims the lights of this vibrant place
What if every cell in my body changed?
I am the sail, the plank
The mast that breaks and gets replaced
I am remade, repaired, reshaped
But somehow, still the same
Even after every cell in my body changed
I know my name
Wave after wave, I'm more afraid
It's been a hard year, it's been a high tide
I can make it make sense, but my body decides
I keep telling myself again and again
It's been a hard year, healing takes time
Routine test results, I'm probably fine
But it doesn't really matter
My body decides
One part at a time
I am the sail, the plank
The mast that breaks and gets replaced
I am remade, repaired, reshaped
But somehow, still the same
Even after every cell in my body changed
I know my name
I know my name
I know my name
I know
This song is about Theseus' paradox, if you slowly replaced every physical part of a thing, person etc..., is it the same?
😢
