I want others to see how amazing sleeping at last is but at the same time I want him to be my little secret
I can totally relate..
Such a beautiful secret
That's exactly how I feel... Its so precious to me but I also want others to be able to appreciate their music
Yeah same...
same with me
yeah
The people who disliked were crying to much and they hit the wrong button
Yes.
Sorry, grammar Soviet here. It’s too
Very true
Ok but I actually accidentally did that 😂 I fixed it dw
Or they have been pushed away by an 8 😄
I'm not an 8, but this song speeks to me on another level. As a person who grew up in an abusive household, the lines " I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too, now I'm a broken mirror." hits close to home, as long as many of the lyrics. This songs may not be talking about it but I see the crooked path of recovery within the words somehow. I love it, this is art.
I grew up abused too, and it turned me into an 8. I'm very conscious of how I have changed, and I was definitely born a 4. This speaks so deeply to me. . .
@@casandrahampton376 yes, 4 is our inner child.
what is an "8" or a "6" or a "4" I don't understand
@@avaniagrawal2085 these are different types of personnality in the enneagram ! You can get a test online to know what fits best to you :)
I don't really know anything about personality types, but as someone who recently started to learn more about and recover from their complex trauma (bullying and other school problems, abusive friendships, and some family stuff) this song really resonates with me, too. I feel like it really mirrors the way I feel about this recovery journey and the vulnerabilty that comes with opening up about things that remained unspoken for a long time.
We were the kids who stood up, the kids who became heroes. We saw the weak being abused and we were strong enough to put a stop to it. We were the heroes. But a price comes with being the one who stands up. The kid who fought. We saw the weak being hurt, and we knew to protect them, we couldn’t be weak. We refused. So we fought the wars, we protected the innocent, and we buried the child inside. We pushed back against affection because if we let someone truly love us, they could hurt us. We were strong enough to wear the armor, but not strong enough to take it off. We fought because it’s the only thing we knew what to do. We fought because we loved, and when we loved, we protected. We were the kids who became heroes, became the heroes we never had.
This really reminds me why I *know* I am an eight...
You have described me perfectly
That is the most profound thing I ever read. I literally cried. Wow.
This couldnt be truer and for me its on a physical level, im joining the Marines real soon, and i get to be that hero that 8s want to be
And some of us were broken by the fighting. Shattered and left alone to pull the pieces back together. And we did and we took to the field again.
Type 8, scared of trusting. Scared of being left alone. Scared of people to see how he sees himself.
I'm an 8.
damn same
Same.
Same...
Damm straight
Ive been jumping between them.
I knew the song for the Eights was going to be intense, but wow...
I'm a 6, not an 8, but that abrupt ending hit me in a weird place. For some reason, it's that silence that made me cry more than anything else.
Could you elaborate on this a little bit? I’m not challenging you I’m just curious, I always was a little put off by the ending and thought it was the only weak part of the song, I would love to be able to see it in a different light!
@@drpizzagames1015 The part of the song where the 8 is opening themselves up and learning how to be a protector for others while letting others in, is a very pivotal point in any person's struggle to better manage their fears of trust and abandonment. For me the abrupt ending hit me in a hard way because I interpreted it as this person [The 8] finding their courage to open up and stand up for people who they feel they used to be like, but only for a short period of time before the song cuts off. Like a quick death. Personally, I have a fear that I'll find my courage to trust in someone too late and have my life cut short just as I'm getting to know people (and letting others know me, too). It's a pretty visceral sort of fear so something in the back of my head applied it to this song's ending and when there was only silence, my brain went "Great! Now cry."
OH MY GOD YES??? THE ENDING CAUSED ME TO FEEL SCARED IN A WAY EXACTLY HOW U FELT, and i'm not even a type 8 (1w2) but that just shows how amazing the song is!!!
Same I'm a type 6 and I had nearly the same reaction. I don't even know how to feel about it. The thing that strikes me most about this silence is that I was left with only the sound of my breath, which just gave me chills and told me all the emotions I was going through during the listen of the song
@@vermillion1735 oh damn, yeah I see what you mean. I’m a pretty visual/imaginative person and I can just see the 8 embracing the person they let in, but then that person fading away into snow similar to the snap in Infinity War. Thanks for giving me your perspective it definitely helps
Everything about this speaks so much to me, and I truly don't understand how Ryan managed to capture the way Eights' like to talk about their vulnerabilities from a place that allows them to not have to actually be vulnerable. He really showed how we want so desperately to make this world a better place and how we put that burden of being a guiding light and a steady source of strength on ourselves in order to achieve that world. I really loved the opening image of a flipped switch because (and they talked about this in the podcast) Eights have this specific moment where they chose not to follow all the rules and not to be "weak" anymore. I also really appreciated how Ryan didn't fall into stereotyping Eights as having anger issues and instead showed how passionate and driven we are.
I’ve really appreciated the depth that his songs have given. (As a nine) i have especially struggled to understand and appreciate eights, most of the representations have been really comically antagonist and I felt like there was more to it than that. I was really happy to find how much I could understand from this song and think that that much drive is really inspiring. I’m glad to hear this song is something that finally speaks to the hearts of eights as well as help you be better understood
Mathia S I agree. If i tell someone I’m an eight, I feel like a lot of people automatically assume that I’ve got anger issues or that I’m going to bully someone. A lot of times if people ask what being an eight really is, I recommend this song cause it gets all aspects of us instead of just like, “anger problems” or “workaholic” like a lot of other things.
I am a 2. And from what I’ve read 2’s and 8’s can be confused even though they are different. My husband is an 8. And I appreciate his way of looking at things SO MUCH. He looks at things the opposite of me...and since he’s confident and decisive...where I am not...he challenges me and encourages me in the areas I need it most!!
What does it mean to be an eight?
@@noone1602 look up "enneagram 8" on Google and read the article from the enneagram institute. It's a personality type/pattern that this song is about.
"You were wrong, my healing needed more than time" Oof
You're the best artist I've come across.
sameee
Indeed!
"I can afford, no i refuse to be rejected..." That line confirmed im truly an 8
Same here, me it’s more that I will never try to tell others about my real self out of the fear they will reject or judge too quickly, and liking someone and me having to confess?? No thanks, better not try and just ignore it.
sometimes i have a little doubt that i'm really an eight, but everytime i listen the last strophe, and specially the verse "i'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again", all my doubts disappear and i remember who i really am
holy crap that gave me shivers
exactly same
keep your head up queen, or the crown falls.
What do you mean "be an eight". Is there a test for this? I've seen other comments like this, about how they are one number.
@@luisam.ariasgiraldo2123 Yeah there are a bunch of them online, it all comes down to whether you want to pay for an in depth explanation or not but that's totally up to you.
"but here's a map
here's a shovel
here's my achilles' heel"
I have never had an out-loud reaction to a song, but OH
I read those lines as, "I'll give you the ability to access those deeper parts of me but you will have to want to see it." It's that first step towards trusting someone.
I'm a single event learner: I'll lend you the map and the shovel, but if you refuse, they won't be extended again.
the fandom will be here soon. it’s only a matter of time. unrelated, this song fucks hard.
not to be that guy but WHATDDYA WANT PAULLL
hmmmm...... which one are you talking about? just want to clarify here 👀
Wilbur fans are coming
can't wait until someone makes a wilbur animatic to this song....
GHOSTBURS SONG.
My best friend is an eight. I’m a two, but I remember growing up together and watching each other become these things. Now I’m becoming a teacher and she’s becoming a therapist for autistic children. It’s crazy to watch her go through the same change that the song describes and the advocacy for the downtrodden.
What is with the numbers ?
Enneagram tests- the numbers are personality types.@@pedrooliveira418
enneagramm, it's a personality/behavior typing based on how we used to cope and show up to the world from our core fear built in childhood@@pedrooliveira418
“I grew up too quick” I really did. Sleeping at last encompasses how I feel in so many ways. I used to never let anyone know I was real, I was human. I made up someone else to put on the outside. I’m not that mask anymore. I’m human.
As an 8. That line “I show up on the frontlines with a purpose.” Holy shit... gets me deep somewhere in my being. BEAUTIFUL. I love my eightness. When I show up it’s to DO
I'm glad you do. You're highly respected by the other types, and for good reason. Retain your Eightness and continue protecting the weak.
Exactly
I'm 8 and what the fuck just happened. The song literally describes how passionate I am with holding my innocence safe and protected so it doesn't get hurt again. I HATE opening up yet I can figure out the dark side of all my friends and family in a heartbeat, such a pure talent of mine. I love you all my 8's and know how precious we all are deep down, even though we never show it.
Love u too
i'm so sorry but i thought you meant you were 8 years old and i was immediately jarred 4 words later lmaooo
@@strangepineapples3375 omg same haha
To all it concerns
Here’s to wishing for you all happiness and love ♥️
If you as a individual can love this hard, why won’t another love you this hard, or any other personality type for that matter. Unless you’re the most narcissistic individual on the planet to think only you are capable of truly loving, then there’s no reason to believe their aren’t people like your characteristics amongst us. Personality types are a guessing guideline not scripture.
You will be happy God willing. Just focus on being grateful to God because that is a form of self love that no one can replace. If you can’t be grateful for your five senses, your hands and limbs, your time, your interests and passions, and all the innumerable blessings God has bestowed on you, how can you be mad at someone not loving you the way you deserve?
You do not know what you have until it’s gone. There is innumerable reasons to be grateful. Not the cup of coffee but the One who made the universe bend and shift in order to bring that very cup of coffee to your lips. It didn’t just fall from the sky. From the seed to the production and brewing to the drinking to the tasting and appreciating. In these are all signs of Gods existence and mercy. Had He not sent down rain from the skies, or given the coffee bean the right environment or given life to it, it would not exist. Had you no nose you wouldn’t smell it’s amazing scent. Or a tongue to taste. Or eyes to see it’s beautiful rich colour. Or a mind to think. Or a heart to appreciate and be grateful. The task of being grateful is in and of itself a blessing That you have lips to speak grateful words with, a heart to feel and a mind to think. Hands to care. And limbs to make physical change in the world.
It is not the coffee ☕️ that you should be grateful to. It is the One who created the coffee bean and gave it life, flavour, existence and purpose. Everything that serves you has a purpose. So then ask yourself, why do you exclude yourself from this? The very cup you bring to your lips serves a purpose. But the drinker is just going through life like a purposefully blind deaf dumb (in regards to the blindness of the heart and mind) individual closed off to the world around and inside of them… why? What logic is this.
I forward the question to you all…. did you create yourself?
As a Dream SMP/MCYT fan to other Dream SMP/MCYT fans: this is a (hopefully) gentle reminder to please try not to fill the comment section with fandom-specific references or topics!! This song is much more than just an inspiration for Wilbur’s character. You can discuss that at length in your fandom-specific spaces if you have them C:. There are so many of us that it’s easy for us to fill spaces and speak over comments about the original content, like this song for example. You can still talk about it elsewhere. Just remember to be courteous of other fans :D
And of course, if someone gets overly annoyed at a comment section, they should take a bit of a break. But this song is so meaningful on its own that I don’t want to overshadow comments about the content itself :D
Nobody has to agree with me, but I think it would be nice. It’s just an opinion and my words are not the end-all-be-all. I hope anyone reading this has a nice day C:
TL;DR: Share the space and be kind :D
Edit: Edited it for clarity and to sound kinder/be better received
But some of us don't have that
@@wilbursootisbetterthanyou9024 Sorry about that, but there are plenty of other spaces online for the Dream SMP/MCYT fandom. This video is specifically meant for a song unrelated to that. This space is meant for fans who are here for the song and artist themselves, and they often get annoyed when their space is invaded by unrelated topics. I just don't want to annoy the people here. Y'know, as common courtesy. Obviously, if people get super pressed about a mildly annoying UA-cam comment section, they should take a break from the internet. But I just wanted to try and mitigate some petty internet drama :D
Edit: rewording some sentences to make more sense :>
Ima be honest
I came here because the song looked interesting
Then suddenly Wilbur
So I’m mostly just confused-
@@Cdog-vl3gk same
Thank you for this comment.
I'm not a 8 but every single time I hear "You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong, my healing needed more than time" my heart breaks. His music is so powerful and beautiful no matter who's listening.
Get your "here before Wilbur told everyone to listen to this" tickets here.
haha true
how did u know he just said to LMFAO
he legit just said to listen to it lmao
pfft he just did on stream and I looked it up right away to put it on my watch later list. whoops.
too late he just did lmaoo, how did u know
it's interesting how all the comments under here are so different from those under the "four" video. eights aren't all eagerly chiming in about their vulnerabilities and sharing their feelings/weaknesses as quickly haha
Whats funny is i got a 99% four and a 89% eight. But no we im a four i couldn’t relate to any of the lyrics or comments their but i did here..
The 4 comment section is kinda cringe tbh and as a 4 myself I couldn't understand better why
I think this comment is so funny! I’m currently an 8 in a relationship with a 4. Pretty challenging in that regard!!
Haha yeah the weird thing is that I’m a 97% 4 and a 94% 8 and I feel both but the 8 connects to me slightly more
@@emmaspracklen7565 same any tips? 😂
This is me singing who i am now and telling a story to my future spouse of how i allowed to let him in despite of all these struggles I had before. I am so grateful to God for having him in the future. See you soon, lover!
after listening to a whole sequence of songs i thought to myself "this one must be mine", i did a test and i have 98% Eight. I am also feeling personally related to "two" and i have 91%. you guys made an amazing job with those songs. i can't believe this band is so underrated
i had the exact same experience, but flipped! I listened to 'two' for about a year without knowing its connection to the enneagram test. when i started listening to this song i loved it, did a bit of research, and eventually took the test. turns out im a 98% match with two and a 93% match with eight haha. never rlly placed much stock in mbti/zodiac/whatever, but the enneagram thing is uncannily accurate haha.
I always connected with enneagram better than mbti. But that’s a thing about eights feeling like twos sometimes. When we’re feeling comfortable or unstressed, a lot of us tend to lean towards some attributes of twos.
Same i thought i was a 2, but now that I am hearing this i think i am an 8. Where did you take the test?
Who's not here from dream SMP and is actually an eight who can understand first hand. instead of just "oh what a sad character backstory." Who are my eights who ARE the backstory, the ones who inspired this
Yes!!!
hi
not going to lie, im here from wilbur soot's stream... but my god does this song have real emotion... imagining wilbur or tommy's character to go along with this song is so heartbreaking, but at the same time it is like their character's song, if that makes any sense. and now, i have a new band to get to listen to. :)
Edit: no wonder this song made me so emotional... im an eight apparently lol...
SAME AND YEAH
SAME i came here when the stream ended
@@camilaamoros9398 same
Same. I came bc of wils stream but now I relate to this song on such a personal level
Same, and Omg I can perfectly see Alivebur in this. Wow......
i’m a solid 8. this song gives me so many flashbacks it made me want to cry, but there’s always gonna be a part of me that’ll never let a tear fall because i’m not “weak” and showing emotions is a sign of “weakness”
I wish I could hear 3:03 for the first time all over again. it's so beautifully powerful
This is a well-composed song! The best thing about this song is the balance between the upbeat feel and the emotional bits. It is diverse but not overly-complicated, while easily perceivable. I also like how the song transitions from being upbeat to being expressive. It sounds as if the Eight drops their guard, which is exactly what the song is trying to depict. Well done on the word painting and overall production. I find it difficult to compare this with Nine because both of them are really good in different ways, but one thing they have in common is that they are all both my no. 1 songs!
hello everyone from Wilbur’s stream :] I recommend listening to the whole album and taking the enneagram test and listening to the song that corresponds to you. have fun
As a sleeping at last fan and MCYT fan I agree more exposure to these other amazing creations would be wonderful :D
HECK YEAH
“When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things, I see the familiar. I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too, now I’m a broken mirror.” YEAHHHHHH that describes me without a doubt. I am always the first to help fix others, but have never been able to fix myself. I don’t want to show how broken I am
I remember the minute
It was like a switch was flipped
I was just a kid who grew up strong enough
To pick this armor up
And suddenly it fit
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago
I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive
And I grew up too quick
Now you won't see all that I have to lose
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
I won't let you in, I swore never again
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected
I want to break these bones 'til they're better
I want to break them right and feel alive
You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
My healing needed more than time
When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things
I see the familiar
I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too
Now I'm a broken mirror
But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
I can't let you in, I swore never again
I can't afford to let myself be blindsided
I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
And all I want is to trust you
Show me how to lay my sword down
For long enough to let you through
Here I am, pry me open
What do you want to know?
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
To hold the door shut
And bury my innocence
But here's a map, here's a shovel
Here's my Achilles' heel
I'm all in, palms out
I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in
I'ma shake the ground with all my might
And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
For the innocent, for the vulnerable
And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat
An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
Invincible like I've never been
I've been a fan of sleeping at last like forever and now I'm
Here listening to his songs reflecting on pass pain , struggles
I've been through good or bad ... His song is the only one that
make me feel the pleasure of being where I am today ... Thanks
For sharing these inspirational / touching songs 😊😘💕✨
This is the most heartbreaking song... I am a 4 and have a hard time understanding my boyfriend who is an 8. But of little things I have been blessed to learn about him, this song sums up who he is accurately... and this song makes me feel like I can understand him and be connected to him in a way... it's the only part of him that has been made public and I cling to that... I hope that someday I can meet this part of him through him... and hold him and love him and protect him like he deserves...
I have an 8 best friend and I'm a 4 too, I understand and relate her need to be independent and closed maybe because I grew up being a total sp/sx in the instinctual variant but this song and learning enneagram helps me to understand better.
God being an 8 hurts sometimes, but I have never related to a song more than this. We are the protectors, but sometimes we need someone to help us protect ourselves.
stay strong guys, we are invincible.
This song broke me.
I downloaded the podcast for a long drive and read the lyrics first. I wept. Then when I HEARD the song, I broke, sobbing, full on scream crying. Pulled over to the side of the road, repeated the song three times, bawling the whole while. Then I paused the song and let myself ride out the crying. It lasted another 15minutes (yes, I timed it). All in all, I BAWLED for 30minutes straight.
Sleeping At Last's music (and Christopher Heuertz book) is what finally caused the Enneagram to stick to me. And MAN that has been one of the most helpful discoveries of my entire life. No exaggeration. (The most important discovery is Jesus.)
Took the test, came right to this song, got slapped in the face by the words. Thank you so much for this beautiful representation of type 8s, it is nothing short of incredible.
how do i take the test?
These songs really attack you tho- like it hits hard
Yeah I can understand why Wilbur got inspired by eight to make alivebur. Anyways i can't wait the animatics from this :)

I love how the writing keeps perfect pace with the lyrics
This really hits different when you know ALIVEBUR is inspired by it💔💔💔💔💔
wait how do yall know its inspired by him?? whatwhatwhat
@@stop.1003 he said so in his latest stream:)
@@stop.1003 nono, alivebur was inspired be this song, not the other way around!
sorry to correct you, but c!wilbur soot was inspired by this song, and this song existed before the character (the song was released in around 2019 ish)
@@candlelit33 no I know it existed before him....that’s why I said Alivebur was created/inspired from it
goddddd i can't get over how powerful this song is ;_; i'm not an 8 but it really speaks to me because i have a lot of trouble opening up to people and putting down my "strong and infallible" facade so i just feel really. understood, i guess. (,,also, this is lowkey the theme song for all might, so.)
How do you know what number you? I’m so confused😭
@@halliebug there are a bunch of tests you can take online, i think there's an official one somewhere? you can just google "enneagram test" and look from there i think
this songs reminds me more of Bakugou tbh, but I see how it's All-Might vibes, All Might reminds me of a 2w8, but the 2 song rly reminds me of his desire to give everything up for others even if it hurts him
@@kai3651 OH SHIT ur mind this fits bakugou too hmm.... maybe it's just cause he's the 8th holder of ofa but this does remind me of all might's isolating himself from others for fear of their safety, and the first half of the song being the change that getting one for all and losing nana brought him.... i may have thought harder about this than i should have. this is why my hyperfixations shouldn't mix
Hallie Bilbrey there are also a couple great books if you’re really feelin it. (The road back to you is really good) sometimes online tests aren’t as accurate and it’s better to understand what all the different types are before you really get to figure it out. But honestly the tests are fun

"I wanna break this bones 'till they're better, I wanna break them right"
That feeling of never being good enough no matter what, of not being perfect, always getting on the way, your problems being too much you just wanna "fix yourself" even tho you wouldnt be you anymore
I’m a 5w6, but I relate to this song so much. I’ve always had trouble trusting others and being vulnerable- I’d rather internalize everything and shut people out. This song gives me motivation to grow- to learn how to let both God and my loved ones into my fortress.

Thanks for lyrics 👍
Thank you ^^
im not an 8 but this song is so amazing! and i can relate to it somehow
Haha yeah, somehow I can relate to all the different enneagram songs even though I’m just a four with a bit of nine and two!
Same, I'm a 4w5 but 8 might be my favourite song from enneagram. (Obviously with 4)
@@thedoctordisco4110 I'm an 8 but my favorite song after this one is 4, I think 4s and 8s are more similar than most people would think.
same! I'm a 9w1 but I really looooove this song. the 1 and 8 songs just hit differently
I feel absolutely alive when I listen to sleeping at last. it’s every single emotion at once. it’s life, it’s beauty, it’s curiosity and excitement just to be alive. when I listen to you I feel happy to be alive and everything that comes with it.
I"m in love with this song. The last line tho. Indeed, It's the most powerful song that i have heard after a long time. It just have all that a broken soul wants to say. Sleeping at last is a gem. 🖤
I'm not even an Eight, but this song is so full love empathy and compassion, I was tearing up the whole time.
Especially the strings at "When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things..." I full-on CRIED. Thank you for this wonderful project.
Your music is the only good thing going on in my life🖤

i'm just waiting for the comments to fill up with the people that came from wilbur's stream lol
Well hello
I LOVE all the little effects you added to the text! it brings out that intensity
The difference in tone and energy throughout this song and when compared against the rest of the album, completely displays exactly how restless we are.
The most soothing voice ever
Took the words out of mouth. Betrayal hurts everyone. I won't forsake. Never did. I'm a faithful mother and friend and person. I want what you want...love, unconditionally, and loyalty the way I always give it.
I've never seen a song so fitting for Kaz Brekker before, honestly - there is not a single part of him that's not stronger because it's broken, and I have never undestood him better.
The best gift I could've ever asked for my 17s birthday. March 7 and the song is called 'Eight'..what a wonderful thing..
Here from a Wilbur soot stream, I’m not disappointed. Great song!!✨
it's so amazing that your songs ALWAYS give me chills, it's perfect and make me feel so... good? i don't know how to explain that, but it's just perfect
never stop, pls
I’m here because of Wilbur soot and I’m very happy he brought me here. V good song.
I would LOVE instrumental versions of the Enneagram songs!
I already knew this song, but seeing all the wilbur fans flooding and hearing this masterpiece makes me extremely happy.
Same😌
Same. But I got into the songs from Wilbur
Same
Same

say you watch Wilbur soot, without saying you watch Wilbur soot
I watch Tommy's best friend

I always hated the second part of this song because of the hopefulness of it and would just rewind to the first part again. I'm on the other side of my situation and it's so good, not good underlined with anything, it's just good. I get to cry happily now. I'm free. Thank you for making this song
I am offended as to how much this describes me, like who let you inside my head lol.
this song is the song wilbur based his character alivebur off of😀🖐
hi wilbur fans :^) how long do you think until someone makes a cool wilbur animatic to this song?
I kinda want to do it if i ever get motivated to make a full animatic :D
I kinda wanna make a map for this song for Alivebur
Hopefully not long
i’m currently working on it :)
@@kyx1585 ooooo cant wait, update me when ur done :)
I hate how I come here for comfort and search the comments for others who have felt similar pain and just see all these comments about other fan bases and people going “I came because of Wilbur soot but this is a banger”, no it’s a song about suffering and how we’ve beaten our issues to be where we are, why can’t it just be about the song not your fan base, it’s sacred and means a lot to us, it touches our hearts and makes us feel connected, why must you guys come in and ruin that just because you’re curious about your fav UA-camrs inspiration for a character? Just listen to the song and go, don’t flaunt about why you’re here, don’t listen to our pain like it’s just another song and lacy like it’s apart of your storyline, don’t mix it into your animatics, you have no connection to what we feel.
its just a song, its not that deep
@@camilaamoros9398 for some of us it’s more than just a song, we relate to it and it makes us feel not alone. People who have anxiety or heartbreaks listen to songs that talk about things they’ve experienced, no one comes in and goes “omg I only listened to this song because of bla bla bla but it’s actually a bop” they respect the people that go to the song for comfort, yet on this song (where I can assure you, every time I hear it I’m almost in tears) everyone has just been going on about other artists. Don’t get me wrong I love Wilbur soot and I watch his videos a lot, I just find it disrespectful when people comment about him on a video that’s a lot of peoples safe place. But it’s fine, everyone to their own, it’s not like your action has consequences, it’s just the internet.
Sleeping At Last 🖤
im here from wilbur's stream and im glad bc god he has such good music taste
i genuinely relate to this song in so many ways & it makes me realise, listening to it, how quickly I had to grow up & learn to defend myself and find tactics to keep myself safe or comfortable. I love this song sm
I've always loved Sleeping At Last and now that Wilbur mentioned it as an inspiration for his character I'm out of my mind, can't wait for the animatics.
I always knew about his song Saturn and never bothered to check out his other music until now And it’s so beautiful. I wish I can go back time and hear his music much earlier
"I liked this song before the dream smp" and i am so happy this artist is getting more recognition due to it. This is a great song and sleeping at last always delivers.
This is the best ever and everyone should know about this songs. Amazing. Its like this song could read my mind from the inside.
I'm a 2, but this song still spoke to me in a different way, especially growing up with anxiety.
I found this song a while ago and I loved reading the comments of people confiding in eachother and finally finding comfort with one another. It made me and I know many others feel less alone. As someone who is also a Myct fan I want to please remind you to not fill the comment section with myct related comments so that we can continue to keep this kind of comfort. I’m glad so many of you are enjoying this song :)
This makes me tear up every time. It's always right at "I'll shake the ground with all my might and I will pull my whole heart up to the surface. For the innocent for the vulnerable, and I'll show up to the front lines with a purpose."
here from wilbur soot :)
Rejection is not the issue but betrayal.
Of any kind. Rejection being one, though only if they were close enough for it to matter.
Apart from that it's beautiful, I highly appreciate your work and the idea behind creating songs for each type, it's a gift you gave to these burried and lost childhood messages. Validation, acceptance, embrace.
We miss you alivebur
Yes. Yes we do.
I am an 8 and I am literally feeling this song so much. The kid who had to grow up too fast, who could never show weakness. The recognition of the familiar in others when it comes to this. I am shivering, is me in every bit.
As a Nine, I may not be as intense and strong as Eights, but I feel like I still relate to this song so much. Easily my favourite among the Enneagram songs.
It’s not about who you are Bc we all are connected it’s about where are in your journey of healing and the state of being awoken
Heyo! This is a bit of an issue I’ve seen from a lot of songs that for whatever reason are associated with the DSMP. Please don’t flood the comments with random references and comments that make no sense to the people who just like the song. It’s cool to say how you found this song but constantly making references to something else isn’t great. It annoys non-fans and even some fans (such as myself) who don’t want their life to just be DSMP 24/7.
After 3 years i have transformed from a 4w2 to an 8w2. It's fucking wild how this hits now. My mother is also an 8, and the older I get, the more I become her and it's strange. She's a very strong, very caring person that plays no bs with anything. Always been a leader.
I'm an eight and I bloody love this song, it cuts deep, I was verging tears.
Specifically,
"I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive
And I grew up too quick"
"But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
I can't let you in, I swore never again"
"But here's a map, here's a shovel
Here's my Achilles' heel
"
"show me how
to lay my sword down
for long enough
to let you through"
This. This line. This line is the thing that confirms I am an eight more than anything.
This song reached something inside I didn´t even realized was there. Somehow I always knew that I wanted to protect others that seemed "weaker" than me I never not even once thought about why. It has always been more like an instinct. But this line “When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things, I see the familiar. I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too" made me realize that I was in fact seeing myself in that same people and that is exactly why I feel the NEED to protect them. To have found out such a thing about myself only for a song, is a lot to me. I am usually quiete reflective and I do analize myself a lot, so it is pretty awesome that one song made me find out something I didn´t understood about myself before so, thanks.
⚡️with a heart like yours I’d never reject you. “I’m all in” and you’re ”invincible “
Wow it really does fit Wilbur’s character.
Really really well too.
I believe it fits tommy more tbh
@@altf4undo01 dont say that, wilbur will cry
Ok like I'm glad people found joy in this song through Wilbur. But it's kinda of just frustrating for like all the comments to be about him. Like I'm glad it makes them happy but I just wish they didn't have to flood the comments of a song about type 8's with something unrelated.
^^^^this
I have listened to this song so many times since discovering it. I feel it permeate every inch of my heart. I saw it mentioned in a story on A03 called "Hurricanes Collide" by Brokenstar, an LU AU fic. Since then, one of my absolute favorite songs, and I'm so glad it was mentioned and fit that story so I actually decided to look into it.
I’m here from Wilburs stream and omg I love this song ♥️
oh hey wilbur stan nice to see ya :)
heyyyy
No other song has ever made me feel so vulnerable and exposed. Every line of lyrics hits perfectly together with that powerful fighting music. Just raw truth about Eights.
Almost can't believe it's been over 3 years. And it never ceases to amaze.
Will cherish it forever. Especially being an Eight myself.
Thank you for writing this song, Ryan. You have this talent where you're able to completely and so accurately illustrate conditions of the spirit & heart of people through your song writing. Your songs really move me. You put into words things that are true but I couldn't say about myself. Thank youuu
mr soot thank you for telling us about this song :]
im an type 8, this song hits so differently for me, just finally realizing how much i resonate with alivebur, and why he was always such a comfort for me. this song pulls it altogether.
