He is one of the best lyricist of our time. Even back then when he was - what? 19? 20? - he writes songs like this. "as the sorrow grows roots within me" "you can see that my smile is empty, trying to force words through gaps in my teeth" "I will falter, standing in place" Just gorgeous
"I dine in silence on bread ground from hardship. The easier it is, the more it tastes like ash I've been waiting on a future promise years ago, living in a house that wasn't built to last. In your eyes I'm just a gap that not too long ago, was filled by someone you could lean on. but in mine, in legions, you are anguish. But a beautiful passenger alone."
@@first_ones_free6556 arggg he wrote this when he was a cub. This is why he annoys me but not really more like dammit I want big hands and a multi octave voice or at least to borrow his lower register for 5 minutes
Maaaaaan he really grew into himself as a vocalist. He went from the boy hiding behind his hair to the sexiest man in music. I hope he knows how loved and valued he is ❤
If there's 2 things to make it big as a music megastar, it's 1: A distinct, unforgettable serene voice that catches everyone off-guard and gives them goosebumps. and 2. A backing band that are complete experts in their musical skills and talent. Sleep Token has a 10/10 in both of those aspects. They're set for life at this point. Moving on from this project has to be one of the biggest upgrades in music history. Not just for him, but for everyone that ever listens to Sleep Token. I've yet to find any person that doesn't like ATLEAST a few of their songs. Even people that hate metal.
As much as I told myself not to find him, something pulled me towards him. I respect his boundaries, and understand. This past self only exists here, he has transformed to his full self and I am so proud and happy for him ❤️ I owe everything to him. He saved me, and my life. He saved my music.
just met him at a show after recognizing someone at the venue after sleep token played looking exactly like leo faulkner so i pretended my phone died and asked him what the time was and his voice matched this exactly. so i think i just talked to vessel in person!
His lyrics have always been incredible. This came out of his head when he was a literal teenager. Blessed to get to hear this even when I actually didn't want to know
@@Bstacks1642 it is lovely. Homie sings like Gabriel blowing a trumpet. Like his vocal chords were sculpted by music deities. Like Jeff Buckley's highs flew across the universe to him.
I walk around all day saying "This song is called Columba" and so do my 8 and 11 year old and it's absolutely hilarious. I'm obsessed with this story and it's not going away.
OMG, you look at him then& look where he is now, it’s unbelievable, there is no mistaking that voice. Bless him, the happiness& utter joy Sleep Token have brought to thousands. This song is beautiful ❤
It's so weird to find this...its like we are in on an huge secret that everyone wants to know but only we know...let it stay like that, let him be an enigma, thats the beauty of it.
The uneasy aura of this room they are in. This man has become his own Vessel and all of ours to deliver a message of love that knows no bounds. I hope that we can all have someone matter as much as he does to us as she does to him.
Gemma Matthews is a mistery though. She is clearly on a similar lengthwave with Vessel but she clearly decided to remain mostly unkown despite her talent ua-cam.com/video/CyEOYkXJw2I/v-deo.html
I'm not fully convinced she's not one of the Back Up singers. He does a live cover of Hallelujah he has a female vocalist sing with him on it and it sounds a lot like her.
Seems the opposite to me, of the three videos, they both seem the most at ease in this one. Her smile in the beginning, his head up. Even his voice just seems more relaxed and open, more expensive. The only thing I think is *possible* with her is a Liz and the Bluebird moment.
The fact that he’s hiding his face for the most part even back then… either just coincidence or maybe genius. Either way, it’s frustrating and yet it’s lured me in more.
If I had to guess he’s a shy performer. Probably started covering his face as a way to cope with that and now it’s morphed into something bigger than that.
I cannot express enough how much this search has consumed me. Only five words unsung will not be enough. Cant wait to hear an interview one day. Absolutely contently unsatisfied ❤️
I'm writing this as a reminder to myself come back here to listen to all the songs in mind with those lines from -redacted- that had the references here. Blacklit paradise. Look up under canopies.
Everyone complaining about losing the mystery Relax guys. Its all performative. The animated movies you watch aren't ruined when you find out who the voice actor is. You can still enjoy ST's lore even if you know the name and face of the voice with the mask.
This guy just appeared with his Band in a different form of himself in my hometown called Chemnitz. They performed the best concert this shithole has ever seen. Wow!. I wonder what the woman next to him is doing in 2024. She deserves the best awell
It is disturbing to see any human being worshipped after all he is still a human like any of us. granted a special and talented human. He doesn't want to be worshipped either. I think he wants his music to be worshipped in dedication to Sleep the entity he serves and that serves him. This is how I see it.
@@rishabsengupta3736 I agree with you. It is possible to, not exactly cease to be human in entirety, but close to it. At least on the inside. He even says it: "It's too late for me now, I am altered.."
The picking pattern is identical to Missing Limbs. Would like to see full performance without cuts. He must have talked more. She looks very uncomfortable lol. Love these songs.
2:26 - Definitely the same person from the “veins” part from a song from a band that has an Indian City as it’s song title - The real ones will decipher the above quickly! X
up until 2 days ago i had no idea about this identity reveal, but it was by chance listening to YT music's selection of random songs to play after listening to ST's TMBTE and this band "Backlit Canopy" played and the voice was so recognizable I thought "hmm.. is Vessel like doing a collab with this new band?"... hahaha silly me, it was an earlier project of his.
Should hear him sing Take Me Back To Eden now, the brand-new song. Or Vore. He not only sings, but also raps and even screams better and more clearly than almost every black metal/screamo singer. I'd put him up there with Chino Moreno and Chester Bennington for screams, even if he doesn't do it often. He truly does it all without question and continues to astound even his own fans.
@@ValiantNomad I've followed the band he is in now for about 2 years. Sooooo glad to see the rest of the world catching on. His range in not only vocals but writing........a new standard.
"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?" it does seem like that doesnt it

Feels like Rumplestiltskin. Cannot say his name and he spins words from wounds. An alchemist with instruments that spins everyday pain into gold. And what boons wed make to do the same.
To hear his speaking voice in the beginning of this video feels illegal 🖤

He isn't just the vocalist either. Music is all him and the drummer.
I hope he does. 💖
little did he know, he was going to become the singer of one of the greatest bands of all times
do you know approximately his age ? he looks so young
@@pvsnoir If he was like 18 here then he would be like 27 now? around that i Think
??
And the greatest singer ever. By far.
If you know, you know ❤. Some of the early recordings of the band have his falsetto voice confirming it’s him.
As much as I told myself not to find him, something pulled me towards him. I respect his boundaries, and understand. This past self only exists here, he has transformed to his full self and I am so proud and happy for him ❤️ I owe everything to him. He saved me, and my life. He saved my music.

It's so interesting that you can see a bit of those jerky/ shaking movements when he sings - like how he dances and moves now 🦋
The way his body trembles and moves when he's blown away by his emotions...does it remind you of something? And, Do You Like that?? Worship!!!
My heart, ❤
His lyrics have always been incredible. This came out of his head when he was a literal teenager. Blessed to get to hear this even when I actually didn't want to know
2:26 convinced me today. The lyric style/pronunciation and intonation. It’s a 100% match. Same same.
That late vibrato is his signature
It's pretty much been confirmed for years this and they stopped making music in 2014, 2 years later Sleep Token was formed
@@JStuartofficialhomie has to vibrato all the time
@@chromesthesiasound good as hell tho

It's amazing how recognisable this is. How far he's come is actually incredible and I couldn't be prouder of what they've created.

Bring the heavens down if we don't have wings. Like a blanket. Like feathers in a pillow. Sleep and dreams.
This man has the most incredible voice I have ever heard.
Sheer perfection.
Gives me full body chills.
He's impeccable then and now and always
Major “take aim” vibes! I love it
100%!

Relax guys. Its all performative. The animated movies you watch aren't ruined when you find out who the voice actor is. You can still enjoy ST's lore even if you know the name and face of the voice with the mask.
It's just him before he ascended. xD
I'm still not sure it's all pretend.
Some of his lyrics make it seem like his beliefs put a huge rift between them.
@@ジョジョさま that doesn't make it less performative, which is all an audience should care about
Honestly, the mystery is the transition and the inspiration for what he's become.
This is a video of him in just his human form. Early stages. Before whatever pain he went through changed him.
I finally got here. This is a treasure. Worship!

I hear this and then listen to “take me back to Eden” and just think of how far he’s come. Plus several song we know are about her.
The way he sings, yes, it's Vessel
WORSHIP. I thought I would be disappointed in finding out who was being worshipped. Wasn't disappointed, only fueled the desire!

I think he wants his music to be worshipped in dedication to Sleep the entity he serves and that serves him. This is how I see it.
It’s reassuring to know he is actually human like me, I was starting to think he was a god himself.
Innit. So glad he went through a massive fringe phase, as did we all 😂
I still only one human. The thing playing the guitar is so bright I can hardly make it out ❤️
I thought that too, he is such an unreal voice and such an impressive presence that you doubt if he is human or an angel 😊
Maybe he was human once, but I guess apotheosis is possible - or in this case, "Ascensionism".

Exactly
"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong
