bro heard 4 keys and went straight for his piano, he felt that lol
The Euclid reference was the line "yet in reverse you were all my symmetry, a parallel i would lay my life on."
Also that this song, the last song on their latest album, calls back to the first song in their first album. Creating a narrative symmetry.
Euclid also means a copy of the same.
if you follow the story from "The Night Does Not Belong To God" then the copy of ones self makes a bunch of sense throughout THIS album.
One last also, as the art for the song suggests, I think Euclid also illustrates the idea that sometimes you have to destroy your old self to becomes something more. Perhaps not as a copy of the same, but as an evolution of the same
@@GioFireheart lyrics from ascensionism and TMBTE:
"You're gonna watch me ascend"
"I need you to see me for what I have become"
so i agree with you. growinging and learning makes us different from who we were yesterday.
theres a quote i came across in the past "in this world there are 1 million people with that have met 1 million different versions of me"
@@GioFireheartWhat’s cool is Euclid’s ending there, that melody, it not only is in a different key, but is played slightly differently then in TNDNBTG. And that’s intentional. So evolution is 100% the right word - it displays growth
This song is full of callbacks to previous Sleep Token tracks and is the "end" of the trilogy. It ties the story together and is a song of melancholy and acceptance. They have yet to play it live; they might wait to do so at the end of their tour as a fitting closer.
"No, by now
The night belongs to you (< "The Night Does Not Belong to God")
This bough has broken through (< "When The Bough Breaks")
I must be someone new" (< Indicating this might be the end of Sleep Token as we know it, all speculation of course as nothing is confirmed, and the band is very mysterious)
The ending to Euclid has the same melody and lyrics as "The Night Does Not Belong to God", which is on their first full-length album "Sundowning", coming full circle.
The line that relates the most to Euclid, the father of geometry, would be:
" Yet in reverse, you are all my symmetry
A parallel I would lay my life on"
It's interesting to note that Vessel makes a lot of references to chemistry and science in general throughout Sleep Token's discography.
Thanks for the reaction; I hope to see more Sleep Token on the channel!
Worship :)
Great message! The Night That Does Not Belong To God is my favorite Sleep Token so Euclid is a close 2nd! My favorite Vessel reference the Science and Chemistry is “Stuck in a Quantum Pattern” from Blood sport.
@@JohnnyGingy Blood Sport is so heartbreakingly beautiful. I really admire how Vessel's writing manages to convey emotions in such an intelligent yet poetic way. I am smitten with Aqua Regia, it's a lyrical masterpiece in my opinion. Love that Sleep Token connects to so many people :)
Let's not forget the reference to Blacklit Canopy. Oopsie?

As an aditional detail, the lyrics of "The Night Does Not Belong to God" in Euclid correspond to a section of the song where the melody is originally "gliched".
Sleep Token is the type of band you need to lay back and focus on every single corner of their songs.
The end when it all overlaps reminds me of geometry for some reason too
This track still brings me to tears...
For months… 😢
1 year, and countless listens later it still brings me to tears.
as a musician, you know a song has you when you immediately need to learn how to play it. I love this band. And I really hope this isn't the end for them. This song wraps up an album concept trilogy. This song makes many callbacks to songs in previous records, and themes throughout all 3 records.
I love the, "Get on wit' it!"
You can tell he loves it, even from the start.
Welcome brother.
Worship
never watched this channel. dude is definitely on the spectrum. i love it. hes a musical genius.
Euclid also means a copy of the same. This song is the end of the trilogy and brings it all together. It ends using lyrics from 'The Night does not Belong to God' the first song on the first album and saying the night now belongs to you.
As a pianist myself I'm so glad i found this band cause EVERY song with even a hint of piano in it (which is a fair few) i instantly was like "oh man i gotta learn this!" Atlantic was the first song of theirs i ever heard and i just fell in love with it and learned it probably in about an hour
I really like your guys' dynamic i just added a bunch of your videos to my watch later playlist :D
It’s amazing to watch someone who can pick up what’s happening within a song before a first listen is over. What an incredible gift. Thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to more Sleep Token! I’d love your take on Blood Sport (from the Room Below version) or Aqua Regia. So much beautiful piano in both.
15:10 casually hitting the first two nores of The Offering. 😮
I read this right as it happened lol
I think this song is more like an epilogue, it wraps up the otherwise dramatic album to a bit smoother blanket, more melancholic than aggressive or up front.
the root power chord in the end section (10:28) is so fucking WARM & comforting...
Fun fact: there's actually a Euclid Street/Ave/etc. in most cities as an homage to euclidean geometry, which was used to create street grids in urban planning :)
Euclid, Ohio is one city away from me and I live off of Euclid Avenue 😂
@@ryanlocke5365I always smile when Euclid is mentioned now :)
You are so right. I remember the Euclid streets in Sacramento.
every time i see it in town i think of this song
15:12 first two notes of The Offering
haha man that was bizarre haha
Was about to type the same. That was great.
15:13 did he just unknowingly play the first two notes of "The Offering" ?? what a coincidence!
wait til he hears that C# at the end of the bridge in Aqua Regia back into the final chorus.
By far my favourite of all of their songs. I sobbed when I first heard it honestly. I also love the dynamic between you two! It makes your videos seem so genuine and refreshing. I know you deserve so many more views and subscribers :D
Outside of the mix what you're describing about the noise increasing is absolutely correct. A guy called Will Ramos talked about this a lot as he was doing a cover and found the song 'sound' increased as it goes on.
Will Ramos of Lorna Shore. I was shocked when I learned he could do clean vocals.
I love that you're referring to Will Ramos as "this guy" x)
There are many videos which are titled "reaction video". In fact, way too many of them are not real reactions since you can see that the reacting person already knows the song, or at least the band and their musical style etc. In your videos we can see and hear what "reacting" really means. Every gesture, every blink of his eyes is triggered by his emotions resulting from the music and we can see what almost each note evokes. This is real, this is authentic. Thank you guys. But now, proceed, Richard ;-)
Thank you!
"Euclid" becomes the best song on their album once you've heard "the night does not belong to God"
i like how he was joking like he was gonna play the piano then vessel starts singing and hes like ima listen lol
How he just recalled the theme nearly perfect first try. Amazing!
Favorite song of theirs, hearing/seeing the reaction was beautiful 🥲 keep ‘em coming please!
@15:13 I swear I though he was gonna play The Offering lmao
Take a bite 😂
Same
Yippee 🎉 a song I could listen alongside you both 🥳 I really loved that and I’ve never heard of Sleep Token before so thank you for the introduction! 🙌 🤍🏴✌️ Raine
“Euclid” being the last song on “Take Me Back To Eden” flows perfectly into The beginning of “The Night Does Not Belong To God”, the first song on their first album.
What a beautiful song... it brings me to tears every time I hear it.
I think you guys would kill it with an album react to all of Take Me Back To Eden, I'm seeing Sleep Token in Detroit on the 15th and I'm more excited than I can put into words
I'm seeing them in Denver on the 25th, super excited
ME TOO!
You will be blown away. Saw them at Webster hall in NYC. The energy, the songs, just everything. I true life changing experience 🧎🏾♀️ worship
@@ElloMyNamesSami last night was literally the best thing I've ever witnessed.
@@ElloMyNamesSami just saw them live in Detroit last night, they were fucking incredible
Emotional Soundscape
Completely sums up why i love SLEEP TOKEN so much.
My fav track off the album.
Judson was deep in the moment once the FEELS hit....and thats why i enjoy watching your videos. Experiencing all that SLEEP TOKEN is
Hey guys, I am a new subscriber and I have really enjoy seeing your reactions. Getting the perspective of a classical musician is really cool because you have a different understanding of the music. Sleep Token is one of my favorite bands so it was nice to hear your thoughts on it. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks! 🤘
duuuude that Undoing Ruin shirt is sick. you've kept that in good condition for this many years, thats awesome. that album was my teenage years
It would be incredibly interesting for you guys to listen/watch Vessels live From the Room Below set. It’s amazing
great video guys, different dynamic than most reaction videos. Keep it up! Sleep token tends to paint images with their songs as you listen
Thank you 🤘
Thank you for showing Sleep Token some love!
Did anybody else hear The Offering by Sleep Token at 15:13
Yes!
Definitely have to have him listen to some stuff from the earlier albums. Higher, Atlantic, High Water.
Muito legal ter visto a reação de um apreciador de música clássica e pianista. Muito interessante! Hugs from Brazil.
I love this dude.
Is that the first two notes from The Offering, by accident? At 15:13? Idk, but what a nice coincidence if it is 😅
Your audio is amazing, clearest I’ve heard on many reaction channels covering this group.
Wow, thank you!
Wanted to second this, and add that the minimal cuts/scripting makes it so much more genuine. This feels like getting to drop by your favorite professor's office to pick his brain, combined with the comfort and quality of channels like Good Mythical Morning. I've spent the last 17 years on UA-cam daily and this is genuinely one of my favorite videos I've ever seen. Just fun and interesting.
love this. prob my fave track off the new album.
Fantastic track
wow I am about to see sleep token and every week for the last 3 months i have discovered the beauty of yet another song…what an amazing song and band!
You going to the Detroit show too???! Masonic temple theatre?? I seriously can’t waittttt!!!!
@@cosgroveme2489 Nope Denver :)
@@eatmyfishy niiiice!!! Let me know how the show went for you!!!
@@cosgroveme2489 absolutely awesome! a friend of mine that had never heard them tagged along and really liked it…thats always a good sign too!
@@eatmyfishy that’s fricken awesome!!! Sleep token is sooooo damn good!!!!
Great video! and what a great song!
Best concert last night in Detroit!.. the air just takes ya!!
I was here before this channel blew up! 🤣Great stuff boys, keep going.
Thank you! 🤘
Didn’t start out as, but now Might be my favorite ST song.
I'm now all caught up. I've seen all your guys reaction videos. Keep them coming
Will do. Probably going to be this weekend before we can get more videos up. We both have extremely busy schedules during the week. Stay tuned! 🤘
At 15:13, the 2 notes you hit on the piano are the opening notes to Alkaline by Sleep Token. Another amazing song!
A lot of their lyrics also link to Alchemy and the lore behind the band is extremely in depth.
Love watching your channel, can't wait until you do Ascensionism. Sooner than late please.
This man is a classical musician that's on the spectrum. I luv it.
I would love to see a reaction to Aqua Regia! The piano in it is so beautiful
Musicians are the people that bring everyone togetherno matter what your beliefs are or what your sexual orientation is, what religion you are. We are all together then... no matter what. Abd i love it more than anything.
Please do aqua regia and/or bloodsport (the room from below version) next!
Path, adventure, trail, season, knowing, flow, river, voyage...something around those terms maybe... Cheers, love what you're doing. By the way some love to Helloween would be greatly appreciated. 🤘🏻
my favorite song on that album. BONUS KUDOs for classic Darkest Hour tee
🤘
You should show him "Are You Really Okay?" if he liked this one.
It should be. Its my favorite
I would love to see a reaction to "Widower" by The Dillinger Escape Plan. Its a banger song that has an excellent little treat at the end I think you guys would absolutely love!
I like watching reaction channels and y'all are great! It seems y'all have not heard a couple songs that I guarantee to make a lasting impact.
Amigo the Devil - Cocaine and Able and anything from
Dermott Kennedy really.
when Vessel sings "the night belongs to you", not only is it a reference to "the night does not belong to God" , the drum pattern changes and goes right back to reference that same song as well.
Clicked for the Euclid reaction, stayed for the Darkest Hour shirt ❤
Theory question - the end of the song. That piano melody (you can hear it better in “The Night Does Not Belong to God” in Sundowning)… it sounds kind of like an alarm or siren… yet it’s so soothing.
Is it the note intervals, repetitive nature, or rhythm that has that effect? (Or is it just me?)
15:13 sounds like the first two synth notes from The Offering to me
I thought the same thing lmfao
This song is supposed to be the LAST song you listen to by Sleep Token, it references songs from the trilogy as well as the EPs AND work done before Sleep Token was a thing.
I think Euclid btw is more referencing that this song is tying so many things together over their entire discography that its like the final answer to a massive musical and mathematical equation!
I always liked the term train to describe getting into a new band because it takes you for a ride.
You mean like “hop on the Sleep Token train”?
@@Greatmeasures Exactly. Now use that till you're hating it too lolol
@@azraelcales I like it! I’m going to use it without telling him first. 😂
@@Greatmeasures Even better!!😅🤣😝
I love the reaction hes not fake compare other UA-camer faking there reaction
Fall deeper into the sleep token dream
Very impressive. I play piano, but haven’t mastered the keys yet. That stuff is PhD level education
Sleep Token wanderlust
Worship
Sleep Token Trip ✌️
*I'd love to see Judson react to an ERRA track,....Vanish Canvas or Memory Fiction would be a good choice. Not to heavy, with lots of FEELS
Whole album please
High Water next 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This song is a Lucid dream
Your T-shirt man. Darkest Hour. Undoing Ruin. What an album, proper staple of my teenage years.
Convalescence. Ethos. With a thousand words to say but one. Bangers.
That album is probably in my top 3 favorites of all time. Start to finish, it never gets old. 🤘
Worship ❤
"Not a hit," but it's beloved.
I was distracted by the Darkest Hour shirt. Saw them live about 10 years ago. Think they were supporting either Machine Head or Metallica in London. The Human Romance is still one of my favourite albums. I haven't really listened since that album.
🤘 Love that band
❤❤❤
He should definitely listen to the summoning or Ascensionism I think he’ll appreciate it or vore…. Or actually just the whole album
Darkest Hour 🤘
5x5 Richard.
Never heard of sleep token...here we go.
Euclid means “glorious or renowned”
15.13 almost the first notes from The Offering.
Call it a “Dream” instead of Journey or Rabbit hole.
He couldn't wait to turn around and play.
So my basic understanding of the song is that it is a farewell of a sense. I listened to the album the minute it dropped from beginning to end and there are quite a few songs that are personal and aren't sleep related, ie nothing about worship, no tokens to sleep, which is a bit unusual compared to they're previous albums as well as One & Two. He's passing the mantle to the fans, he's saying his time is done. Now that could mean as a musician entirely, OR, it could be this chapter of his life he's passing on. I believe the latter idea is supported do to the fact that they all got entire new get ups 6 months after the album dropped, which would just be an odd move if this was I fact the end of Sleep Token.
I thought his comment about the dynamic range applied by Sleep Token rather than the mix
I almost shit my pants when he played the first two notes of The Offering at 15:12
Do DYWTYLM live version specifically
This is my first Great Measures video, was expecting piano guy to be British and not sound like Hosea from Red Dead Redemption 2 😂 you guys are kinda funny
W O R S H I P
Darkest Hour oh hell yeah
🤘
You should definitely listen to some Winterson
Nice T-shirt!
🤘
Igorrr please. This guy has to listen to the great Frenchies. And more Tool as always
