“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” -Vessel, 2017.
Thank god nearly every genre has beatiful music. Never thought I would listen to sleep token or metal in general. Here I am crying to this Song.
Chills
YESSSS!!! IM SO GLAD SOMEBODY POSTED THIS!!!
Hes so well spoken I can't with him
wait... WHAT?! WHEN? I've never seen or heard this but I love it. Where can i find where he says it?
Vessel: I dunno, I think for the outro we just fucking incinerate existence permanently
II: say no more
"I'm about to bite back in anger"
He bites back at the end of the song.
Kyle looks like he's actually in pain from how beautiful this song is. I feel like it is everything you could ever want as an audiophile!
Coming from an amateur audiophile, this song gave me an eargasm. The production quality is absolutely insane, an audio engineer’s wet dream.
He had the exact same reaction I did the first time I heard this song. If you’ve ever been in a heartbreak situation, you relate sooooo deeply to the pain this induces and then when the album ends with Euclid you know you made through the most toxic and terrible shit ever but you still made it. You’re okay and it does get better and you grow from it. Beautiful band and amazing music doesn’t even begin to explain it.
@VoidHxnter honestly i sincerely hope they remaster their old albums with this new team. I bet their old tracks will hit even harder with better audio production
His reaction is how I am. “I needed this” that was me also. This song is a religious masterpiece. ❤ I bawled my eyes out for this song.
"I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre." Basically a really poetic way to say "like a moth to a flame." 🖤
Well well well
And the way he sings it is just so beautiful and so well done. If anyone else was singing that line, I wouldn't like it nearly as much
I personally believe, the way its written out, "winged insect" rather than moth is to show insignificance, and "Funeral Pyre" rather than flame is to suggest tragedy. Its a personal theory, but it brings so many more layers to it.
"the line before, "my, my, those eyes like fire", like a moth to the flame, those eyes will kill me
While also saying, "Everything you embody is death, but I'm so drawn to you". Vessel's lyrics play on so many levels it's awesome!
It ok to cry kyle all us metalheads got hit in the feels by this album.
On god
Honestly I cannot get through euclid without crying
Agree here.I felt quite same when ive listen to this album.
Cried my eyes out every time. It was beautiful to see someone else react to it.
I love listening to this album on the weekends when I take long drives to no destination.
I cried the first time i heard this part: "No amount of love will keep it around if we dont choose it." I broke down in tears the first time i heard.
If y'all liked this one then you will probably also like Ascensionism. I appreciate your guys' reactions :)
I concur! Ascensionism is close in style to TMBTE and probably has an even more dramatic journey!
Another vote for Ascensionism!!!
💯💯💯💯💯
Bro I was literally about to comment the exact same thing 🤣
Highly agreed
Long time fan, rare commenter. Sleep Token has become my obsession. The call backs, the lyrics, the ambience, the genre shifts, his vocals... It's so unique and beautiful. I've cried and raged through the album, who else can create those emotions? I hope you continue to listen to them, starting back at the beginning of the trilogy.
im a rare commenter too, and obsessed with sleep token. ive cried myself through half their albums, and they have gotten me through some of my darkest times
Plenty of bands can create those emotions. It's all about personal preference
I love the call back to Chokehold with "it was no accident" tying the whole album together.
and "We were tangled up like branches in a flood" right after that. great callbacks in this masterpiece of a song
And then Euclid and The Night does not belong to God wrap the whole three Albums up in an astonishingly beautiful bow. I haven't even got words to describe how knowing that makes me feel.
The whole album is soooooo good.
For me Album of the year, from the beginning to the end pure emotions.
Absolutely.
My album of the year as well.
antoni fantano here :D umm no its not :D
Antoni did shit on this album. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they are wrong.
It brings me so much joy to watch people physically and emotionally react in a genuine honest way. Much love yall
Same. I love watching new fans being born in real time. Warms the ol’ heart.
At the very end of this song they say “we were tangled up like branches in a flood” which are the exact lyrics that are in Chokehold at the beginning of the album. So it comes back full circle. Pretty cool
This song felt like an end to the album but Euclid felt like an end to the trilogy.
It also says “it was no accident” like in chokehold too :D
@@ebev91ooooh, you know that makes perfect sense with the fade out kinda like a epilogue
Periphery did it too on alpha Omega and it's gorgeous. Tesseract too on Concealing fate. Amazing to listen to
Chills! @@terogates1
Kyles reaction had me in tears. And I've heard this songs over a thousand times already
Same man. Same.
The smile when Kyle goes “They can Djent?!”…sure pure joy in that reaction 😂
You need to listen to Ascensionism and The Apparition. The whole album slaps though.
I second these two The apparition is my favorite on the album just insane work of art
YES! the apparition has become my favorite. Such a vibe
This whole album is gorgeous. The thing is, it's hard to truly appreciate it without hearing the previous two albums. It's a trilogy and a powerful one at that.
I disagree. I never cared for Sleep Token. Couldn't get into their older material. This album changed that for me. I've been listening to their older stuff more now and really enjoy it.
@@trowabarton222 I think contextually this album is amplified by how powerful of a project it actually is. A lot of the lyrics are callbacks to previous albums including their first two EP’s (and more). They also have hints of previous songs musically as well that are pretty cool. So while sonically Take Me Back to Eden as a whole sounds brilliant alone, context really takes it to a WHOLE nother level. Not to be dramatic but as a OG fan when Euclid reached the very ending, the callback to their debut album’s first song (The Night Does Not Belong To God), it felt like a fuckin’ religious experience 😂 I’m a huge music fan and have never been as moved as i was when that part played out. These guys are un-fucking-real
edit: To expound more on that, it’d be like watching Avengers Endgame. You’ve got the epic climax and a tie up of a bunch of previous stories. While you can definitely have a good time with that movie without having seen the rest, having knowledge of previous movies would make moments more impactful and understanding the inside baseball of what certain dialogue signify. (I’m not a huge Marvel fan, just giving an analogy 😂)
I mostly listen for the music and haven't even really paid attention to the lyrics so far. ^^'
@@RandomApexLootbox Nothing wrong with being a Pure Listener 🤘🏽 (shoutout Key of Geebz for putting that in my vocab lol) &’ Just shining some light on the brilliance of their lyrical ability and story telling 🙏🏽
Kyle i love watching you get emotional to music. Im glad im not alone
My favorite thing in life is sharing someone's first experience with a ST song, no one is ever prepared and the reactions are always true. Thanks so much for letting us in on this. WORSHIP
Remember that other than the drummer, this band is one person. Vessel writes all the music and lyrics, plays guitar/bass/keyboard/etc, sings, and helps produce. His drummer is "ii", who is incredible and does some drum playthroughs of their songs on youtube which are super fun to watch as well.
There are four members of the band from what I've seen.
@@angelamiller2577 yes and no. Vessel and ii were the only permanent members for most of the bands history. I’m not 100% sure if the others have been made permanent members, if they have it’s only been recently.
@@thedicehouse577 I believe they are a 4 member band now since they all have their own social media accounts
@@pedroferreira3540 They are a four member performance band, alongside the choir. However if you look at the wikipedia page for the actual production of this album, it's Vessel for vox, keys, guitars, bass and production, and then ii is on drums alongside two named people for production and mastering.
Yeah to follow up on these other comments - iii and iv play with them when they're doing live shows but I don't believe they're significant in the songwriting and recording process. If they are getting integrated into that now, that's awesome - but traditionally they have been support members for touring only.
This song is almost like having a drug or spiritual awakening to me.
I've never experienced so much power and emotional/spiritual authenticity in a single song before in my whole entire life.
I genuinely do believe this band is the most unique and talented band in the history of all music to have ever been written so far and i don't say that lightly.
These unbelievably creative and (what I believe to be divinely inspired) ranger and blend of genres, notes, tones, techniques, styles, ect. surpass anything i ever even thought would have been possible...
I can't even find the words except that they come out of an entirely different state of consciousness that speaks to the uniqueness and eccentricity of each individual through their own life experience.
They have even surpassed tool for me by exponential margins who were the only band who could even have come close or compared and thas not something I ever thought I'd be able to say or imagine would be possible.
As a huge fan of Tool (my favorite band of all time) and having just come across ST literally two days ago I can honestly say I can see where you would come to that conclusion… i LOVE tool, but it took time for that love to cultivate. Its been two days and I effing LOVE Sleep Token.
Also as someone who has loved Tool for years and considered them possibly my favorite at one point but was hesitant to pick a favorite, I’ve had the privilege of being a ST fan longer than a lot of people. Roughly 3 years. But as soon as like The Summoning dropped it became clear to me that Sleep Token is my favorite band of all time. No second guessing required. Especially since they felt so personal to me having been stanning them from Sundowning when it felt like no one was listening to me when I said yo these guys are something truly special. Seeing everything that happened with their rise to fame last year made me so proud.
"I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub" relating back to the "room feels like a meat freezer" ughhhh it hurts it's so good! I mean it's flipping amazing!!!! His genius has no bounds.
The writing in this song is incredible.
"We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans, but no one told me not to breathe. And all the weightlessness recedes"
Might be one of my favorite lyrics of all time. It makes me think of an unprepared child growing into adulthood.
"I'm a waking hell and the Gods grow tired." Is a phenomenal way to say what he's saying as well.
Another thing I do very much like with the first bit of lyrics you mentioned is how when you're swimming, if you have air in your lungs, you will naturally float, but if not, you sink. So, with him "breathing" in the water, that "wightlessness recedes" is from the water filling the lungs, and losing that natural easy floating
i swear its like poetry and music in one. the picture he paints is like looking at a picture and then letting it tell a story its like a journey. its honestly been a wild ride through out this whole album
I love the juxtaposition of the lyrics and how they are sung. At the start he is singing "take me back to eden" but by the end he is screaming it where he is just desperate for it.
For more lyricism with a cinematic journey, definitely try Ascensionism from the same album
They warned you about the end “I’m about to bite back in anger” 😊
Entire Trilogy reaction ??? Sundowning, This Place Will Become Your Tomb, Take Me Back To Eden 🙌🏼
Something you guys might not have noticed is that in every song sleep token puts out, the further in the song you get the fuller the sound is. So every time you get a hook it will sound bigger.
Volume automations
I'm a huge audiophile and seeing how Kyle reacts touches my heart because I was the exact same way when I first heard this. It has such a strong message and it is such a beautifully composed song. This has been my favorite song basically since it first came out. And I love their reactions so much.
This is my favorite song by them so far!! It took them awhile to click for me too, Eric! But once they did I was obsessed. We all have different tastes and they’re such a unique band it took me a bit to digest them. But this album is a masterpiece imo! Can’t wait to see more from ya’ll! If nothing else, their music is an emotional and heartfelt journey.
I am definitely getting into them more. SOME of his songs don't hit right for me (at first) but he's an amazing vocalist and I can't deny talent.
@@Rykerroad that’s totally fair. I first heard them when they released their second album and I was new to the metal genre and didn’t really understand them. They didn’t hit right for me either. But after I heard The Summoning it clicked and I was like ohhhhh okay I’m here for this. And now they’re probably my favorite band. 😂 how music hits you differently at different times is wild.
To hell with genres. Music is art. Blend them all.
Man you can see the moment whenever these guys click with Kyle. Ngl I got misty-eyed whenever I heard this song too! I was kind of in that same boat of not really quite connecting with ST's music. But this song freaking did it for me. It's a MASTERPIECE.
I found Sleep Token through this album and from my own experience Vessels voice is something you get used to over time. I couldn't see anyone else in his place now.
A lot of British singers sound like him. Like James Arthur
hell yeah, my favorite reaction channel, do the album brooooosssss
The whole album is a masterpiece. Ascensionism is a must! Worship
These guys remind me of Deftones. Like a new age Deftones in the best way possible.
Seeing Kyle really be touched by the emotion in this piece really resonated with me. Please review Euclid. This whole album is probably one of my favorites of all time, not just because of the cool genre bending gimmicks but because of the raw and earnest emotional moments in the record.
This band has SO MANY subtle references throughout their music. One example is "i don't know what's got it's teeth in me...". That lyrical idea is in several songs on all their albums like "when the mouth of infinity buries it's teeth in me" from High Water. Another one is "...i will still avoid my own questions" and "... pull myself beneath the waves" in High Water come back in DYWTYLM with the whole theme and "or do you duck into deep blue Safety"
This song takes you on an emotional roller coaster
Sleep Token is just built different. The way they put a song together is unmatched.
Watching you guys fall in love with this song like I did was so awesome. 🥰 Kyle looks like he's gonna cry, likes he's never heard anything so glorious! I'm with you, dude. Sleep Token is insane!
Sleep Token has me in a chokehold (pun intended) with their lyricism, and especially with the way they arrange their music. I had listened to Take Me Back to Eden a thousand times before I noticed Vessel takes a gasp of breath after “but no one told me not to breathe”
YES! More of these guys please! This will be a journey you won’t forget!
This song is so beautiful! It is an emotional rollercoaster for sure. It starts out so chill, then makes me sad, and the end when he screams "take me back to Eden!" I feel so angry. It is amazing how much they can make you feel in one song. The callbacks to Chokehold in it is awesome too!
Auqua Regia is another beautiful song🤘🔥
These songs had hidden callbacks to other songs too. Like this one says there was no accident which was in chokehold
This is the impact of Sleep Token. It may now be every song when it happens, but there’s at least one in the catalog that’ll hit even the hardest among us. Lyrically, there’s none better and I’ll stand by that. Vessel is a master of metaphor. Here’s an example from another song: “Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong.” Perfection. Guys, “Ascensionism” is the track for you. For me, that and “Take Me Back to Eden” are on the same level. A total experience. Worship.
I really appreciate y'alls reaction. The whole time I was giggling just waiting for the last 30secs and how it punches you in the face. The lyrics for this band are really important to understanding the whole story/concept. They do a lot of callbacks to other songs on this album and older material. So far I've found two/three intertwining stories. The comparison to TOOL I think is very spot on and reflects people's reactions to this band, like you either love them or you hate them. I for one am obsessed. Worship.
I've always said Sleep Token is "post-metal". They experiment with different sounds and textures and ideas while being based in traditional metal elements. They have such a broad sound, I think this is the best way to describe them if you absolutely had to give them a genre
I’ve always thought of them being euphoric metal. Every song evokes so much emotion, from the highs to the lows, it’s a euphoric experience.
I really love that you guys went all in on the lyric analysis. This band moves me like no other band/artist ever have...everything they do is beautiful in different ways. Its so refreshing
The apparition made me cry the first time I listened to it. Made relive losing my fiancé, and how all I have is memory and dreams to see him. So beautiful
Same🥲
listening to the song like this one, makes me cry, cause to understand the lyrics i need to look at them with a help from translator. The song is incredibly fascinating btw
I love watching your videos and even more so when they are from Sleep Token because I feel like I am there with you as if we were friends enjoying our favorite band. I am from Mexico and the city where I am from is very difficult to find someone who enjoys metal and currently I have not found anyone to share this genre with. I wish you the best and keep uploading more reactions!
Omg!! Thanks for reacting to Sleep Token. One of the best bands ever!!
I promise you won't regret diving into this band further. I second all the suggestions for Ascensionism. Also, Dark Signs from their first album, Sundowning, also has some of the hip hop sounds to it. Did you pick up on "it was no accident" (callback to Chokehold) during the end when it was building to that final breakdown?
I was crying watching you try not to cry Kyle. It’s been so long since music has moved me that way too lol. This band and this song specifically are an untouchable masterpiece.
i love how emotional kyle gets sometimes, i do the same lol
I discovered this by change, & I felt like someone taken me to another place, so brilliant, I am a Pink Floyd& Led Zeppelin fan for more than 50 yrs& I would not have believed a band of today would get me, Sleep Token has ❤
LOVE your reaction!!! Im a huge Sleep Token fan and this is my fav song by them !! WORSHIP 🖤
Ascensionism is definitely the next song you guys should react to. It has a lot of similarities to this song but it's definitely different enough to be its own masterpiece.
The sad fact I only really watch your NF reactions but gave this a shot...and boy did this not disappoint me. Now gonna have to dive into them. 😅
Boy oh boy, Sleep Token are something else. You're in for a ride
Vessel is definitely an amazing lyricist. I'm sure on a second-listen you probably caught "When we were made, It was no accident, We were tangled up like branches in a flood," lyrics from Chokehold, were woven into TMBTE at the end ... beautiful!
The drummer is so fucking incredible. II is a beast on the kit
9:44 (the entirety of this bridge) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, hands down.
This is the perfect song from them imo. They take all of the styles they do throughout the album and put them into one song with each separated by the chorus that is super strong and gets more intense every time it comes in. Beautiful 🤌🏼
I WISH I could listen to the album for the first time again. It's so magical and the closest we can come to reliving it is seeing others experience it for the first time so thank you for the video and the reactions!! Kyle was definitely me lol
Music is emotional,it drives us all
I'm the exact same as you guys, I originally heard Will's covers of Hypnosis and Chokehold and I wasnt a fan of the originals at all, but then I heard The Summoning which hooked me instantly, I went back and listened to those couple of songs afterwards and now I'm obsessed with their whole discography 😂
but I highly recommend Ascensionism, I feel like you'd both appreciate that one in particular!
Ive found the Sleep Token, react playlist that I didn't know, I needed.
Great reaction. NO ONE can touch his lyricism. Ascensionism next-it’s the best of the best
Also, think you missed the reprisal of Chokehold at the end, right before the djent outro
Oddly, i ( Eric) didn't notice it until i watched another reaction channel right after 🤦♂️ he blended it so well you can miss it if you don't pay attention.
@@Rykerroad its soooo good. I find myself going back to that specific part of the song. I wish they wouldve used that specific verison of how he was singing it
Dude Aqua Regia is a BANGER, as well as a LOT of their other stuff! I fuckin LOVE Sleep Token, RN my life is literally Sleep Token and NF on REPEAT!! I really hope you give a lot of their other stuff a try even if you don't record the reactions!
The whole album takes us on sad, heartbreaking, beautiful journey. Love seeing them get some love.
9:44 It gets me every time as well…what an emotional rollercoaster
I have been waiting for this reaction! I knew you guys would love the lyricism, it’s one of my favourite things about Sleep Token. I hope you do Ascentionism from this album as well.
I agree with Eric that they just didn’t hit that spot in my brain but after a few days I came back and now I’m hooked. It’s well worth looking into their story. Vessel being visited by the deity sleep and the songs are worship from vessel to Sleep
Kyle's face is just everything❤
I love how they have the lyrics from choke hold “when we were made, I know it was no accident” after the last chorus *chefs kiss*
I've been on the Fence, I've heard this rack Thrice, and I already was hooked on Chokehold. This redaction made me listen Deeper, and I'm a Rich Miner. Golden Thanks.
I respect your opinions but I can't imagine anyone doing these songs better than Vessel, I like Will as a person but the covers were meh to me
This was lovely to watch! Thanks guys🔥❤️
THIS BAND FINDS YOUR SOULS NATURAL ORGASM...
This song, as far as I know, is like an illustration of all the songs on that album. That's why there were similarities and so many different parts.
So what Kyle said in relation to listening to some music and letting it sort of take you or take you over... I forgot how he put it. But there is some music that when you listen to it utterly changes your brain chemistry. It takes you from a depressive state into euphoria. There's music that takes you from you for you into a calm and peaceful place. What's weird about sleep token is that it seems to be able to do that with every single song in a certain way. The album's a roller coaster of emotion. It's deep. It resonates with lots of people surprisingly enough that you have people that listen to one song, thinking they're never going to give it a chance, and they fall in love with it.
But this is music as a whole. Music can take you places. Often time those places are wonderful. Sometimes those places can be dark. It's odd that sleep token can kind of do both at the same time.
All I know is is this, putting my headphones on and listening to the album is a joy and a pleasure.
I have been waiting for this song lol you guys are top five of my favorite reaction channels. I love the talk about the camera work and the way the music is put together it brings another layer to the standard reaction channels. Keep doing what y'all do guys! PS: Listen to the whole album.
I just subbed. I love both of your reactions soooo much. I was in tears listening to this song for the first time. Still gives me chills every time I listen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ sleep token is my absolute new favorite band. Been on repeat for months for me
I’ve seen a lot of sleep token reactions in the few months since discovering this band & I keep coming back to your guy’s videos 💖
I’m soooo glad y’all decided to keep going through their discography! It started here, but to watch your excitement & anticipation grow with each song has been amazing! I love that you guys have deep dived into their lyrics & lore and appreciate every genre-bending breakdown just like I did when listening for the first time.
I discovered you guys within a week after discovering sleep token & now you feel like old friends that I’ve shared the sleep token experience with 💖
I just spent a whole day watching you guys. I watched every sleep Token song you guys did. Love your channel!!😎🤘🏴☠️
I love your reactions to these guys.
You'll love Ascensionism, for sure! :D
This is the best reaction to any sleep token song that Iv seen (and that's a lot) watching the dude literally fall in love with a band that's brought me so much over the past 4 years. Iv had every reaction he has on his face in this 1 video - subbed 🤙🏼
Y’all have became my favorite reactors! Thanks for being so real!
Another brilliant reaction! So Glad I became a part and fan of Eric & Kyle. The emotion and truth told.. The vulnerability as well. I feel human when watching, and I've never looked back. This is my favorite reaction channel. It's well done, without the well don't. - MB
What a masterpiece and loved your reaction to this and your honest opinions are always good to hear! Keep it up guys
Nothing beats an emotional metal ballad : sleep token are phenomenal. Bloody hell of a song ! 💥♥️
this entire album is AMAZING. been loving sleep token reactions, amazing video!
LOVE Vessel's mind !!
This is probably my current favourite song out right now, I literally play it on repeat for an hour everyday.
Great reaction as always!
Am i the only the one that cries while listening to this? So much emotion.
Guys, love the vids. Love the raw emotion. Keep it up, I love seeing Vocalized emotion too songs, especially when that song has meaningful lyrics and drop points. You two are epicly awesome.
