Appreciation for everyone's favorite Absolute Unit drummer.
The drummer is so insane!
Drummer: Hey Vessel - V: ? - D: Do you mind if I fill this part when you sing in 10 layers? Could use some fill there. Worship. - V: Dude
The metal head in me loves it
Indeed
One of the best modern drummers. Periodt.
When he screams "i can't hold myself together", man do you feel that. You feel those emotions.
I fell that 110 % absolutely gut wretching yet beautiful.
yup
I feel it too brothers
this scream broke me. thats fenomenal.
Following off what the theme of the lyrics are- "...if I can hold myself together." Believe he says: "I CAN hold myself together." Perception is reality, king.
this drummer is fucking cracked out lmao. holy hell on earth he is delightful
Fr
I actually think he goes a little too hard at times and his style gets kinda repetitive, needs to work on making his sound more diverse and knowing when to be more subtle imo
@@davejolly582 Wot. I agree on the over playing, but no he's very diverse. This is what gospel playing sounds like augmented to metal
@@davejolly582 He comes in exactly when the drums are needed, what are you talking about? You can't have a breakdown without drums, so naturally he's always there.
If you think the drummer doesn't have a unique sound you're just stupid or deaf, he's definitely one of the best drummers sleep token could have signed with, his dynamics are insane and his rudiments impeccable, have you even heard the amount of ghost notes my dude uses?
Just wish I knew who he was so I could listen to other bands he might be in.
This is a criminally underrated song, and my absolute favorite. It's gut-wrenching and raw, and it's just beautifully written.
100%

Biggest scam in the history of humanity. The eclipes was a total fake, announced by the European Space Agency??? Solar Simulators.. Nothings real. This music help me greatly, frequency..❤
3:27 when this riff hit i was walking to college in public and had to struggle not to make an extreme gud riff facial expression i literally couldn't believe what i was hearing
Not me headbanging in the office the first time I heard it, the most sour expression on my face. And it just keeps going. I'm here revisiting it for the 30th time and it still hits so hard. Still rocking out. Phenomenal outro!
This riff is ridiculous it’s my fave in all their tracks…
*It was a bad pistachio* 🥴
Listened through this album and I’m left here just sitting still, wiping tears off my cheeks. These few years have been pure hell and this album felt like a warm, long embrace from a friend who knows exactly what you’re going through.
Me too. This song killed me!
Be well, my friend
Pretty much.
Same. Worship.
🖤
Vessel has perfectly captured feelings of depression and anxiety in this song. It mimics the negative thought spiral that crescendos in relentless, oppressive panic that makes you feel like you're drowning. The placement of Missing Limbs following this song is perfect, it pulls you back to comfort and safety after such a cathartic release in High Water. I adore this band.
that's insanely accurate
Every album is a therapy session. And each time I listen, I learn something new about my traumas, how I process... I didn't think music could do this for me and I'm so grateful sometimes I could cry.
@@mstrfstr310cry it out man it’s alright and I’m glad you can connect with music like that not everyone can we are the chosen ones my friend
Is anyone else conditioned to get goosebumps when the Jaws synths reappear? 🙏🏻🔥
still one of my all time favorite sleep token songs 💖 hearing it come up again here was such an amazing feeling
@@fisherbenson2670 definitely! It's a top three for me for sure! Jaws holds a special place in my heart 🤟🏻❤
Oh heck yeah.
I thought I was alone on that one lol
absolutely
3:03 : Wait, was that "Jaws" ?
You can hear it in the beginning too and is throughout the song. Love that they brought that into it
I realised when I was playing it on keyboard a couple of nights ago 🖤
The breakdown that follows is just as emotional too, it’s ridiculous
Can we all just take a second to marvel at the level of characterization in this song? Most songs have some sort of a character, an "I" voice. Though rarely, RARELY are they as developed as this. Sleep Token manages some sort of development, change, or a flat out throat-punch in their lyrics most of the time, but it's particularly developed here.
The lyrics start out with confidence. "You know I can hold my breath forever", which is a pretty unusual (but not unheard of) place for Vessel to start writing from. It strides the line between, "I'm stoically managing my troubles", and, "I'm a sociopath surviving by will alone". But as the song continues, it becomes more apparent that the speaker was really only trying to fool themself. "If I can hold myself together" proceeds the, perhaps more telling, "I choke myself on sacred vapour". Someone that, could, apparently, "hold their breath forever" when faced with high water is now unable to breathe in vapour. And, this possibly points to getting high and self-medicating at the same time. It goes from projection, this case of, the water is rising but it'll be fine. To... shit, we're drowning. And you can't keep us both alive. And, finally, the truth: I can't keep myself together. And the implied logical conclusion: So if one of us is to live, we must be apart, it must be you, and I must drown.
Beautiful analysis
Wow.... That is a very good description of this amazing heartbreaking breathtaking beautiful song.
That's what I've been dealing with from a broken heart for years now. I thought I was beyond it, and then I found Sleep Token. They've amplified it, but also gave me comfort by knowing that I'm not the only one carrying so much pain for so long. I'm so thankful for their music 🖤
Each and each time I know more about the lyrics, euclids lyrics hits harder.
This guy is in so much pain...it's a theme thru so many songs.......he speaks for me. Probably why I relate so much to the music
And indeed why so many of us have fallen in love with this band, for we have all suffered.
@@Strutsss And we have all survived so far. Now we have this beautiful music to listen and relate to and I at least feel united in a way. :)
"So for now let me serve as a living drama of your pain" from the video for "Fall for me" was a message to all of us. Worship.
so many relatable songs...
I feel that. Same reason BMTH is my favorite band.
Anytime I get suicidal I listen to Avalanche.
Second part of this song is literally the best thing i've heard in my life
I literally cry my eyes off specifically on that part ,every single time!
[Verse 1]
For the time being
I will still avoid my own questions
And we both bury that history deep
But you know I can hold my breath forever
For the time being
You are still a perfect reminder of what
All of these scars on my arms are for
If I can hold myself together
[Chorus]
And I choke myself on sacred vapour
Waiting on some holy favour
Basking in the solace of regret
And it seems my hell is your high water
Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves
[Verse 2]
When thе mark of infinity
Buries its teeth in me
I'll smile through thе agony for you
And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence
And you'll never bear the weight of two
[Chorus]
And I choke myself on sacred vapour
Waiting on some holy favour
Basking in the solace of regret
And it seems my hell is your high water
Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves
[Bridge]
For the time being
I will admit my defeat again
I will accept that I can't pretend
We will ever be together
[Breakdown]
I can't hold myself together
Is this just what you hear, or have you pulled these lyrics from another source? I agree with most of this, and I'm prepared to accept these lyrics as definitive, but there are a few I hear differently. For example...
"Watch me clean again" sounds like "Watch me cling again." Also, "When the mark of infinity" sounds like "When the mouth of infinity," which also seems to fit the lyrics and theme better, as with the difference in the clean/cling line.
Please let me know if this is incorrect.
@@fastasyoucan420 I just copy pasted from somewhere online, only vessel knows for sure tho
@@alexgurney8756 Word, thanks.
@@fastasyoucan420 good ears. I came here cos I hear 'mouth of infinity' too, but didn't notice the others. Hear what you wanna hear, I say.
@@fastasyoucan420 I thought I heard peak instead of cling lol “watch me peak again “ wow way off or no idk
Been dealing with depression and suicidal ideation and addiction really bad for quite some time now. I've lost alot of friends and essentially ruined my life because of it, having an estranged daughter from a failed long term relationship and this song says things I felt I haven't been able to. There's this comforting feeling I get listening to this band. A sense of security or hope. Not many bands do this to me. Specifically the line "for the time being I will admit my defeat again. I will accept that I can't pretend we will ever be together." Hits home in many ways.
Keep hanging on buddy you're not alone in this cruel world! You have people who need you! Music be your guide
You're at rock bottom so you can only go up from here.
Just remember that you aren't alone and you have people rooting for you
Stay strong, brother. You are not alone
Even though we are strangers, I want you to know I care. I want you to know you matter. Please, keep going, you will learn to do things better, find proffesional help, and continue growing. You do matter, you are important. Please, do not give up, you are not alone.
@@ppppppp_3126 thank you I appreciate that
The Jaws riff, mentions of teeth, "And you'll never bear the weight of two" -- so many callbacks in this song
Like what?? I’m new to ST and want to know all I can about them!!!
And then they gave us Euclid ❤
Im not sure if this is how its supposed to be interpreted, but this song reminds me of the feeling of being taken advantage of and just figuring it all out after the damage was done, remembering how many you hurt for that person and how much you did for them to use it all against you
Sleep Token are the current high water mark for modern music, everything else sounds submerged.
I see what you did there
Lol dope.
That’s deep bro (see what I did there)
@@depuggo Oh DANG. Got em!
Hugo Camargo I sea ;)
They need to start playing this live
I agree but I get three feeling that maybe vessel can't hold himself together to perform it live cuz I have not be able to find a live video of it period.. and I know he cried during bloodsport and you can hear him cry in other songs sometimes but I bet this one is really hard for him to do love cuz it is super emotional and heartbreaking cuz it's like giving up on the one thing you loved the most in this life or any other.
You think that the singer can't play life? Why? Stress? Believe? Anxiety?
Vessels voice when he says I’ll admit my defeat again breaks my heart they have such a powerful emotion with each song
Ikr 😢
“I can’t hold myself together”
Why has a MASTERPIECE like this never been played live... ??? 🤔
Depression is some hard shit to deal with ... I ve been trough hell since 2 years, thank you sleep token, , i love you guys. Dealing with too much right now and you are a light in my darkness
Please hold on. It gets better, I promise.
His voice is like the first thunderstorm in spring. The end of winter and snow. Familiar and always missed. The smell of Petrichore soon to follow. The music is the charge in the air and pound of rain.
That breakdown breaks me. I'm cryin'.
Easily my favorite off the album. It just goes and goes and the whole way I'm just captivated. And the chorus?? The delivery?? Absolutely divine. Sleep Token cannot miss and continue to improve in every way. The guitar work is so methodical the whole way through and pairs perfectly with the bass. The drums set perfect pace the whole way through. And the vocals are just so perfectly delivered all the way through, ramping up at the right parts and packed full with emotion through and through. In my opinion, this is the highlight song of the album only to be tied with Mine.
The whole album is perfect through and through and very impressive.
Worship.
I use this song as a weather vane to see how I’m doing….. I’m still not healed but getting better everyday. Damn I love this band
I could loop the chorus at 2:23 for eternity
Same.
Same.
Same.
Same.
I love how it uses the riffs from their song Jaws. Jaws is amazing on its own. This is easily my favorite song off the album. I hope they do a video for this!!
Wait what? which part?
@@blitzs619 In the track Jaws its starts at 0:43 and its a faster pitch. On this track its at the opening and slowed down.
The first time I ever heard this I got the peculiar sensation that I was drowning, after months and months of listening to this track I cannot shake the feeling of suffocation during the outro. It's brilliant work. Often I think of the times my heart was decimated in the coldest ways and that sense of powerlessness that come with it. This song's outro perfectly encapsulates that feeling of drowning in pain.
The way you described this is perfect.
This was one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.
Crazy it wasn't even a lead track for the record.
3:55 this drums + this scream.... "i am in a frenzy again"🎶
finally someone appreaciating the outro!
Its simply out of the world that looped riff tho!!!!
@@waleedawan5454 "Es fantastico"💙🎧
This song is crushing. And I can't stop putting myself through it because it is so perfect.
this song absolutley crushes my soul. nothing else on this planet i have ever experienced is as special as sleep token. i love you so much vessel. you have no idea how much your gift means to me.
Sleep tokens drummer is sooo sick!!!
This song just hits different. Every part of it is an amazing experience. Absolute favorite on the album.
Worship
Agree. Best song so far.
This band has infected every single atom of my being…. I can’t even go one fucking day…. Without this band. I’m addicted.
Same! Almost 2 years later since discovering, I'm still listening obsessively every day 😂 this song has been my number one lately.
This song is amazing - the music and the crescendo of his voice with each new line, as well as starting slower and singing faster, creates the effect of rolling waves, the ebb and flow, going up and down. the guitar notes also rolling and lingering, like water. Water is associated with emotions so this perfectly mimics our (his) emotions moving like waves, sometimes more rough, sometimes more calm. Amazing music.
This track is astounding, I can't get over it. Can't describe it. Just reading through everyone else's comments and nodding slowly with tears streaming down my face.
Me too....
It's crazy how much bands like Sleep Token can make you feel so much, really take you back to a particular point in your life
Played this song on repeat, daily for two weeks after a break-up and my life changed.
and again
and again
@@fracta1eyes same, my friend. 11 months and still going
FUCK. AND again!
Guitar distortion in clean chords is beautiful, i've always liked those slides with a reverb touch.
Some of the sweetest, most saturated guitar tone I've ever heard. Kudos to the band and George Lever (the producer)
Fuck, why am I just now discovering these guys. What an excellent group.
Have fun in the rabbit hole!
2 years later with this song regularly played... such an underrated and underappreciated track. I noticed this song isnt on their Spotify most played so often overlooked by many.
Its so raw and beautiful, tugs my heart strings every single time I listen to it.
Damn brother,
One of My favorite band now, thank you for crossing your path with me.
This song is crazy underappreciated. It isn't just one of my favorite ST songs, I think it's one of the greatest of all time. The use of instrument and voice culminating into this orgasmic crescendo, it's truly an emotionally cathartic experience. It's so great, it continues to reverberate over Missing Limbs, which almost does that song an injustice - High Water is just that good.- but honestly, I don't care. I'm just glad it's number 11 or it would've threatened to drown the entire album in its epic greatness.
This song is a punch in the chest. My ex-boyfriend took his life in 2015.
I've been battling severe mental health problems for over a decade. He tried to unalive himself when we were 16 (2011). He took a kitchen knife to the chest. I called 911, and the doctors said if he went just a centimeter further, he would have died. He lived another 4 years before his mental health problems won.
I've had so much anger he could leave, and I couldn't. There is so much anger and pain. I can't do what he did, though. You may end your own pain.. but you pass it on to everyone who loves and cares about you.
Please don't ever give up. Please continue to fight. Don't carry the weight, get the help you need. We may feel burdened but it isn't permanent. Seek help, please..
Been in the same situation,stay strong,take care,😍
I spent the last 30 mn scrolling through sleep token songs to find this one, and now I'm smiling from inside my soul.
This drummer is insane.
This one is special to me.
I would really love to hear vessel's perspective on how he created these song. The lyrics and the instruments are perfectly put together🥰
I wouldn’t. Nobody writes and sings like this unless in a great deal of pain.
Such poetry in music you can feel it deep in your soul 🤘🤘🎶🎶🔥🔥👏👏
I didn't want to cry all day but I've been listening to ST for 4 hours with no sign of slowing down lol
purge away! Some of us have been there. Liberation in music.
When music speaks to the soul... you can't get much more powerful than that. This band is special. Insanely talented beyond measure. I feel so fortunate I've seen them live twice.
I remember. The passion of that last breakdown. Those riffs. Years ago. I remember.
This song isn't even two years old..
@@ensco7 Indeed but I was talking about the feelings the song invoked. Reminded me of when I was passionate about writing.
High Water is for the bois
Reminds me of that post melodic sweet spot baao had, takes me back to when I was spinning old architects, citizen etc.
Sleep Token are absolutely divine, they make you reflect with how emotional and powerful their song writing and instrumentals are
Worship🙏

If you listen closely you can hear jaws in this track
Alone in my own thoughts... this brought me to tears. Bravo.
You know, for some reason when I did my first listen through on the album, I actually didn't really grasp the true brilliance that this song has. I must've not listened to the lyrics enough. This song is truly, and I mean literally truly, a masterpiece. It embodies the true feeling of being defeated with a significant other. This song is one of those songs that should be screamed from the mountain tops, yet I don't want to because I'd rather keep it to myself to feel this self loathing in the most healthy way possible. This song makes me happy to feel sad. I just don''t know how to properly give meaning to what this song does to me.
You are not alone. This is their best song, imho. The peak of music, period.
Worship!
@@dovion I felt the same way about this track, but once i really sat down and gave it a listen it quickly moved to my 2nd favorite off the album(alkaline keeps #1 for that chorus). It's like positive melancholy especially the ending . Worship!
Amen on that. This and Atlantic are my 2 most favorite by them although I like them all
I know what you mean by glad to feel sad. This band does it to me. I think it’s more of a connection by art. Art is supposed to inspire and cause emotion or release. Sleep Token knows how make beautiful art and I’m glad I’m alive to enjoy it.
For anyone not in the know about extended range guitars and such, this song is in double-drop B, meaning the lowest string of the guitar is tuned to the same pitch as the lowest string of a 5-string bass guitar. Not just a regular bass guitar, but a 5-string bass guitar with an extra string tuned even lower. That's what the guitar is playing. It's possible because some extended-range guitars with baritone string lengths (27"-30" usually) can reach well below an octave down from from standard guitar tuning, with thick enough strings. This is for all intents and purposes the lowest guitar tuning. Any lower is really difficult to record even with baritone scale lengths and thick strings. Of course, a true bass guitar, with scale lengths of 35"-38" on the low string (10 inches longer than a baritone guitar) can be tuned lower. They can be tuned as low as F (6 semitones below the low B note I mentioned in the beginning) or theoretically, lower still. I would wager a guess that an octave below low B (B1) is impossible, however, as it would be practically inaudible on a stringed instrument (except a piano.)
Anything lower would be commonly known as dark matter.
Sounds like c# to me
I've heard of some bands going a little lower but that last riff is the lowest tuned major key riff I've ever heard
t h a l l
That is why rests are essential. Silence is the lowest sound.
I really think this should've been the album closer
the atmosphere this song creates is addicting
I think I'd cry if I heard this live
Can't just listen to ONE song on this album. Have to listen to them all. Rinse, repeat ❤
Since discovering this band I have been through anxiety, intense ocd, and losing my dog. But everytime I hear the lyrics i feel almost like there was a reason I started listening to these guys. Also new album is out and it is fantastic.
Sorry for your loss.
@@mikem_vb4546 thank you 🙏🏼
Sorry for your loss.
that last verse is an ice pick to the heart, and the breakdown that follows is the hammer. Beautifully crafted music, I just can't get over it.
it´s live Bon Iver , Loathe and The Cure had a baby, absolutly brilliant madness
This song has gradually gotten better and better to the point where I'm addicted and listening to it 5+ times a day
Only song off the album i like. One of the greatest songs ive heard.
same here, if I'm not listening its in my head, note for note. Its a most welcome earworm
W O R S H I P
@@8JFJK8 how can you not like Telomeres?
@@BullCityCocktails I remember going through this album multiple times and High Water was the one that realllly stuck with me, Atlantic and hyonotize as well were pretty good. Ill give it another listen.
Idk if it's the subtle time/tempo changes, or if it's just Sleep Token's enveloping genious, but this track just really encapsulates the feeling of dropping to the bottom of the ocean and letting the currents take control. It's a scary and sad feeling, but is also somehow hopeful and optimistic at the same time. I really can't fully describe how perfect Sleep Token is.
I love this comment so much and feel it with my whole heart. Sleep token really opened my heart into a million pieces it was already opened into. They burst it in a way I can't explain but it isn't a bad way. I love it. It helps me speak to myself and also listen in a different way.
Some individual really had a hand in fucking this guy up...thru his pain we reap the benefits of absolutely great music. I'm sorry for his inner turmoil and whatever he has gone thru and for whoever has hurt him so much....but I'm grateful for the music that's put out bcuz of it. Devastating
these lyrics. wow. all i could say after the song concluded was, "there's no way in hell whoever wrote this didn't feel every. single. line. in the heaviest way." originality at its finest.
the song that saved me
I still can't believe this outro riff
This band has saved my life so many times in the past year, and inspired a lot of art and writing for me.
This album is another level...its seems more cohesive...goes deeper...
I could put that ending on a loop and listen to it for the rest of time.
adore the outro on this song, love that it just keeps going on and on instead of just ending
Best outro of that year
The first time I heard your voice, around 4 years ago. I got full body shivers and when I get that I know that this music is what my soul needs. Needless to say when my mum passed away from covid this sound made me cry like my body was weeping out everything that I couldn't say. The lyrics in this are so meaningful to me because we went through a tough life together and apart. I had so much to ask her but I never got the chance to ask her because the covid had took her voice, watching that till the end was the most awful thing I've ever been through. This loss hurt but I couldn't let it show or let it out, I had to be the strong one but this was what opened me.
You don't know how much this means but thank you.
I think what makes this drummer so freaking good.. is not only only fact he's crips a.f. ver modernized with the ghost note grooves that proggy/jazzy drummers do bands. ... but what makes him stand out over others is hes not entirely playing in every song. And only comes in when necessary. We don't see that alot. I was thinking about this the other day.. as a drummer myself I was like why do they hold him back. I wish he was playing basically the whole time. . .but I see now.. he there when he's needed. And that what's makes sleep token so good. So what little I do get to hear of him.. it's more intimate and pleasing to hear when he comes in.
He locks in with they keys and bass so good.
worship
Everytime I hear This song - this fucking masterpiece ....it brings tears in my eyes.... every fucking time... The lyrics..the music..the synth.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hats off to you guys...
Definitely the highlight of the album. Thanks for releasing a great sophomore record lads, looking forward to future releases!
Best song on the album by a mile
Holy........
The perfectly placed synths are just chefs kiss
holy smoke!! this is MUSIC!!!!!
best song in the album
These lyrics are so real to me. If you could see how loud i play and sing this song you'd be proud.
That outro is basically the IDEAL piece for me. Everything I love about my favorite bands, everything I love about metal music is in that outro. I really need more of it, it's like a softer version of THALL-esque metal. Hope it really catches on, because it is still after over half a year since I heard this my favorite riff in a very long time.
This song is so beautiful 😍
I still remember the chills I got the first time I heard “When the mouth of infinity buries its teeth in me I’ll smile through the agony for you” 🥹 same with swallowed keys line from TLYW
Worship, it just matches my feelings perfectly. I don't know how they do it.
Their music just creates all the feels. With the melodic verses and hard breakdowns and it's just an amazing rollercoaster of emotions and I'm here for all of it all the time
This is my absolute favorite song of theirs, and nd I love everything I've heard.
This is my all time favorite sleep token song, which still hasn't been played live yet....
Drowning in a sea of awe, Love and pain with this one. Thank you for this.
This song so much emotions... one of my favorites
Those drum grooves are pure eargasm
This song is so powerful , thank you
Whole album was a masterpiece 🖤
This group has pulled me back from so many dark places , for that I will forever love them.
