Did this mfer really get his heart broken by his bandmate and instead of wallowing in self-pity he went and wrote one of the most beautiful musical trilogies of all time, summarizing his journey of mental health struggles, self-acceptance, and ultimate triumph, and in the process revolutionize modern music and become an anonymous famous masked rockstar in the process??!
@@austingunnink182 I think that he will eventually reveal but not just yet. His mask eroded more in the promo pics for the album so I assume that trend will continue!
We know nothing about this man. Not how he learned to sing, why he started the band, what inspired him. We know how his hair and face looked like ten years ago. That's it. But even if we did, it would not matter. The music matters most.
Lol that one dude in the other comment thread trying to convince everyone it’s not him… Bruh, listen to him sing two words, there is literally nobody else it could be. ❤Worship❤
Honestly, I thank whoever hurt this beautiful man….because that pain brought beauty. That pain inspired some of the most gut wrenching, beautiful lyrics that I will love forever. His voice has changed my life
And really dark and sad .... I'm really happy to see him coming out of that darkness that seems to have been with him from a very young age. This is just another lil piece of the puzzle that is this beautiful broken soul
Dear god the lyrics💀 “Dying to know freedom from this garden too As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems So conditional, so damn saturated I won't relinquish And let go Eyes are still heavenly… It’s just like you to give in so easily” I’m picturing this. He kills her and sings to her as he does so😱💀 morbid but brilliant AF!
Im sat around the family table while my headphones are on listening to this and my eyes are filling up. Not only am I grieving but I love Blacklit but im also a huge ST fan Their music have helped me in words i cant explain... Happy Birthday to a very talented Man with a beautiful heart & soul ❤️ ♥️
i hope both of their hearts have healed by now and they can make amends. Something that creates something so beautiful deserves to be remembered with fondness. ❤
Sink from this warm truth Carbon dioxide Run over and deep breath Your lungs, my skin is crawling And I've been tired of white walls It's all so lukewarm Your eyes are receded Dying to know freedom from this garden too As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems So conditional, so damn saturated I won't relinquish And let go Eyes are still heavenly As I hold you down And the air runs out I know I'm real And it's just like you To give in so easily And it's just like you To give in so easily
Between the comments, and realizing where this man started... I am resonating with everything even deeper. I could've used these words years ago, and am sad I didn't find it til now. Love you Ves💜 Worship.
@@awildtimmy I guess I'm referring to the lyric from Ascensionism mentioning a "blacklit paradise" followed by Euclid which mentions "ancient canopies".
OMG, mind-blown moment for me. 🤯🤯 That is so true. Wow, it's like, in a way he wants people to know who he is but in a code and clever kind of way. You are absolutely right though, that is so mind blowing!!
honestly, I'm glad I know. with such an emotionally cutting voice and lyrics shrouded in all that mystery, it's nice to see the living, breathing human just like us that's behind all of this. maybe one day in the far future he will do a proper reveal and a deep dive into the making of the music, now that their mission to spread unadulterated art through anonymity was a massive success. Worship.
I have a friend who I showed this to and he said: you can see his alter ego already existed, maybe repressed, but good thing he released it because now he's creating something amazing. But I think there was already something incredible from here, maybe we just didn't notice it. The lyrics don't really come until you live something like that.
I'm glad I know but in a way I wish I didn't. It's one of those things to where if someone asked me who it is, I still wouldn't tell them. He is our scrawny deeply cherished gem that ties our emotions in knots and introduces me to You beautiful people. Absolute worship 🤘
Yessss dude. I wish I didn't know also. It was part of the whole essence of sleep token, not knowing who he was. I mean the music is definitely the reason I love them so much but I was disappointed when people figured it out.
i think knowing is better. strip away all the contrived "sleep" lore and mystery and masks you just have bare humble vulnerable painful human experience
I loved how everyone was so subtle a couple of years ago when they were obscure, and now when they got big we got new fans that are almost blantantly giving the secret away :(
His voice is absolutely penetrating to the mind and soul. Constant goosebumps and emotions take over my brain while listening to these works. I cannot get enough. Gemma is amazingly talented and I hope to hear more from her as well.
So I've been listening to ST for a year now and just found this out today.... so glad it took me awhile. One year and one live performance later and I feel I've finally earned this moment! 🤐WORSHIP🤫
Aww, he’s so young. What a sweetie pie. 🖤Doesn’t change my love for ST at all. I found this on accident. He looks just like a kid I was friends with in high school, so I clicked to check out the video.
@@deetsitmeisterjd yes, I am aware of that. I am saying that knowing who it is doesn’t change my love for ST. I believe he’s probably around 28 now age wise.
You were friends with a kid who walked around in a mask and a robe in highschool? But seriously, I clicked on it randomly too. Recognised the voice almost instantaneously and checked the date, then the comments (dunno why in that order haha).
@@beastwaynes4868 haha, no. The real person under the mask looks like my friend, lol. I actually reached out to him after I saw this and told him. Are you in the FB group? If you are, message me and I’ll send you a photo. You can tell me if you think they look alike.
@@deetsitmeisterjd just spotted him at a show in reno nevada, the face was 100% identical to this, but he's gotten a shorter haircut that (in my opinion) looks nicer!
this band itself makes me absolutely sob like uncontrollably i’m crying rn bc of their music idk why they like cast a spell or smth but i can’t help it it’s so emotional
I love the fact that when i peeked on the "most replayed' section of the video it shows me the moment in which he looks up and shows his face😅 we all know what we're here for
I'm glad he continued with his musical career cause that voice need to be appreciated, never felt this blessed before but the fact that we all exist in a time when this musical genius is doing his magic ✨ worship my friends ❤
What a voice! After listening to take me back to eden I just want to say: thank you so much vessel and the other sleep token members! You managed to help me through some hard times in life, thank you so much!
Lyrics: Sleep under this warm shroud, of carbon dioxide Born beneath deep breaths, your lungs, my skin is Crawling In a habitat of white walls, all so lukewarm Your eyes are beseeching, to let go, to know freedom from this Cotton tomb As I hold you down and the air runs out I know I'm real Suddenly it all seems, so conditional, so damn saturated Yet I won't relinquish, or let go, I just don't have it In me And it's just like you, to give in so easily
I just noticed he’s playing a Gibson Dove! That is a gorgeous vintage acoustic right there…my husband worked at a hotel and someone had left one behind and it had been sitting there for a long time so he was able to take it home..they are worth quite a bit! Also, damn I wish I would have discovered this band when they were active so I could have given them all the praise they deserve! This is exactly the kind of music that takes over my senses and speaks to me on all levels…so beautiful! I hope he’s proud of all he’s accomplished and how far he has come, he is certainly getting the recognition he deserves now! And Gemma’s voice is so beautiful and compliments his so well! 💜
Damien Rice sort of stopped making music but man would he be proud of you guys. I am so lost in these guys. I want to express my gratitude to the two of you for carrying the torch.
Hands down never heard a more pleasant voice in my entire life. It's sending chills up and down my spine every time I listen to one of his songs. The lyrics are mindblowing. What an insanely talented, beautiful soul I have found. Thank you so much for being all that you are, V, you bring so much healing with you. I'm glad you're getting the recognition and success you deserve. Bless your pretty heart. #Worship 🙏🏼✨
His rythym guitar playing is remarkable. He moves melodies so unexpectedly and effectively. I've really been trying to figure out how to play like that instead of just looping riffs.. My ear just doesn't seem to work the way his does. So creative.
Ok crazy. Worship. At first when i read it I didn't even want to know or look it up really because... It doesn't matter, but now I'm glad i saw this because i get to hear more of his beautiful voice ❤ Also i love how the fans keep it low key... ❤ Bravo 👏
Just foind the secret band today. Bless him fr. I feel like he has it rough man from what i heard a female maybe this one? But his new music is so amazing. Her loss
I feel like the band and Vessel are kind of a representation for the love and passion he has for music. He dawns the mask and, along with his band, plays music encopasing multiple genres fluidly
Definitely takes nothing away from who he has become. The only thing I have listened to in the last year or so is only everything he had ever been involved with. That I can find that is. ❤
Did this mfer really get his heart broken by his bandmate and instead of wallowing in self-pity he went and wrote one of the most beautiful musical trilogies of all time, summarizing his journey of mental health struggles, self-acceptance, and ultimate triumph, and in the process revolutionize modern music and become an anonymous famous masked rockstar in the process??!
I wish I could know as well
I believe you're onto something here 😴🪙
Yes. Yes he did. Fuckin' Legend.
Bingo, she cheated on him
Sleep is his only “token” to being with her again
Wild shit huh
I don’t think she is the person y’all are talking about… Her voice sounds very similar to V’s (#5), the backup singer in Sleep Token…
I love how this was recorded in the most British looking room ever
New Ricky Gervais show..."the studio"🕺🏽
How vore.
The first rule of discovering this is DON'T TALK ABOUT DISCOVERING THIS. Worship. What a strange, beautiful feeling.
Why?
"These ancient canopies we used to lay beneath."
I can offer you a backlit paradise
I made that connection after listening to this
You’re a genius
I genuinely believe though that he may be trying to tell us who he his. Just not everyone is making that connection yet.
@@austingunnink182 I think that he will eventually reveal but not just yet. His mask eroded more in the promo pics for the album so I assume that trend will continue!
I don't know why, but his voice seems to take me back to eden.
this is truly the sundowning huh?
Ascensionism - "I can offer you a Blacklit paradise..."
Euclid - "These ancient Canopies that we used to lay beneath..."
Ancient Paradise = Eden. ❤
“blood stains on the canopies just don’t ask”
good catch
@@christianmiggI think the lyric is bloodstain on the collar
OMG…
We know nothing about this man. Not how he learned to sing, why he started the band, what inspired him. We know how his hair and face looked like ten years ago. That's it.
But even if we did, it would not matter. The music matters most.
Clearly was influenced by incubus
Here after Eden and goddamn, I'm so fucking proud of this man. You go, V. The night belongs to you. Worship.
What an amazing man you've turned out to be. The mystery behind how your alter ego came to be may never be spoken but we hear you. Worship.
Now THAT is a beautiful comment!
@@7thgatehauntedhouse900 I agree
pretty sure the mystery is sitting beside him, that’s my theory at least
I know I’m late to the party but bless his voice. Worship.
Lol that one dude in the other comment thread trying to convince everyone it’s not him…
Bruh, listen to him sing two words, there is literally nobody else it could be. ❤Worship❤
Its never too late. And if its not right - despite it.
Worship.
Is this Vessel?
@@KonichiWawa Yes
Are you all stupid right? Delete this comment if you really care
Beautiful. If you know you know
Worship
@@zekeescra5791 Welcome
But do you really? Lol. 1 across the pond 1 Na 1. Vessle of opage mer de noms apc.
Worship
Wait, are you trying to hint that this is Biggie?
Even in this we can’t see his face. It’s like he knew all along. Worship.
Right....that is funny I didn't catch it.
I see his face multiple times in the video when he looks up. He's a cutie pie id smash
Just at the end, you can See his face
@@MrScreamCream you can see his face at 30 seconds.
Honestly, I thank whoever hurt this beautiful man….because that pain brought beauty.
That pain inspired some of the most gut wrenching, beautiful lyrics that I will love forever.
His voice has changed my life
“I can offer you a blacklit paradise [in] these ancient canopies”
Take Me Back To Eden!!!!
He knew we'd make the connection 🥹
even more brilliant, remove the connecting words. Ancient Paradise = Eden
@@zilla82 so many meanings-Vessel is a modern day poet.
Yup!
God, even before ST his songs were pure gold, I'm stunned. Worship.
And really dark and sad .... I'm really happy to see him coming out of that darkness that seems to have been with him from a very young age. This is just another lil piece of the puzzle that is this beautiful broken soul
This guy's vocals are so amazing, he would probably worship like the rest of us.
Dear god the lyrics💀
“Dying to know freedom from this garden too
As I hold you down
And the air runs out
I know
I'm real
Suddenly it all seems
So conditional, so damn saturated
I won't relinquish
And let go
Eyes are still heavenly…
It’s just like you to give in so easily”
I’m picturing this. He kills her and sings to her as he does so😱💀 morbid but brilliant AF!
Im sat around the family table while my headphones are on listening to this and my eyes are filling up. Not only am I grieving but I love Blacklit but im also a huge ST fan Their music have helped me in words i cant explain... Happy Birthday to a very talented Man with a beautiful heart & soul ❤️ ♥️
Such a dark yet beautifully poetic song about suffocating someone. This lyricism is what I live for 🖤
i hope both of their hearts have healed by now and they can make amends. Something that creates something so beautiful deserves to be remembered with fondness. ❤
Sink from this warm truth
Carbon dioxide
Run over and deep breath
Your lungs, my skin is crawling
And I've been tired of white walls
It's all so lukewarm
Your eyes are receded
Dying to know freedom from this garden too
As I hold you down
And the air runs out
I know
I'm real
Suddenly it all seems
So conditional, so damn saturated
I won't relinquish
And let go
Eyes are still heavenly
As I hold you down
And the air runs out
I know
I'm real
And it's just like you
To give in so easily
And it's just like you
To give in so easily
Thank you for posting the lyrics
There’s that garden reference ❤️
And “saturate” = saturate me I can’t get enough
Is this... literally about euthanising a hospital patient? Holy...
Between the comments, and realizing where this man started... I am resonating with everything even deeper. I could've used these words years ago, and am sad I didn't find it til now. Love you Ves💜 Worship.
Young love hurts. I still struggle 10 years later. You are amazing v. keep it up
The fact he kinda told us his identity hidden in a song is just so insane.
Which song was it?
@@awildtimmy I guess I'm referring to the lyric from Ascensionism mentioning a "blacklit paradise" followed by Euclid which mentions "ancient canopies".
From what I've seen this past hour, the facts match up
OMG, mind-blown moment for me. 🤯🤯 That is so true. Wow, it's like, in a way he wants people to know who he is but in a code and clever kind of way. You are absolutely right though, that is so mind blowing!!
@@tracingcircles and more genius, isolate the connecting words. Ancient Paradise = Eden
"You'll be the carbon and I'll be the flame. I will rise and you will remain"
Carbon on the brain.
I keep finding myself returning to this. What they've created is incredible.
I imagine this being the "broken relationship" he sings about.
honestly, I'm glad I know. with such an emotionally cutting voice and lyrics shrouded in all that mystery, it's nice to see the living, breathing human just like us that's behind all of this. maybe one day in the far future he will do a proper reveal and a deep dive into the making of the music, now that their mission to spread unadulterated art through anonymity was a massive success.
Worship.
He should start a metal band and call it sleepiness coin or something
Sleep token?
Hm Slip Token or Sleep Knot would be nice
snoozie dollars maybe?
Insomnia Currency.
Sleepiness Coin, hahaha... Drowsy Nickel.
His voice makes me feel things I haven't in many years. Worship
I have a friend who I showed this to and he said: you can see his alter ego already existed, maybe repressed, but good thing he released it because now he's creating something amazing.
But I think there was already something incredible from here, maybe we just didn't notice it. The lyrics don't really come until you live something like that.
In the end, it's not our identity that matters, it's what we do with it. We are all just people, stardust, pieces of our ancestors.
I'm glad I know but in a way I wish I didn't. It's one of those things to where if someone asked me who it is, I still wouldn't tell them. He is our scrawny deeply cherished gem that ties our emotions in knots and introduces me to You beautiful people. Absolute worship 🤘

The best voice I’ve ever heard. I’m late, but better late to beauty than to never hear it at all. Worship, always.

We don't know that, they probably date 10 years ago, and the band appeared in 2016, a lot could have happened in 6 years

Lyrics:
Sleep under this warm shroud, of carbon dioxide
Born beneath deep breaths, your lungs, my skin is
Crawling
In a habitat of white walls, all so lukewarm
Your eyes are beseeching, to let go, to know freedom from this
Cotton tomb
As I hold you down and the air runs out
I know I'm real
Suddenly it all seems, so conditional, so damn saturated
Yet I won't relinquish, or let go,
I just don't have it
In me
And it's just like you, to give in so easily
Amazing vocals and harmonies salud
