I love the cyclical nature of this video. Each time he tries and fails, dies and revives. He ties a white ribbon with each attempt and persists despite it being hopeless. Sums up his whole toxic relationship with Sleep. Great reaction. ❤️ thank you for sharing.
And truth be told as people we all do it.
I still can't understand how this wasn't the song that caused Sleep Token to blow up. It's so perfect for radio. Also, "Fall for Me" and "Missing Limbs" would like a word with you about your increased threshold for becoming emotional. 😂
I agree, I could hear this song on radio easily!
And yeah, about that... I may have come to eat my words 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown Ha, I was thinking as you said that "just wait" 😂😂😂
BB: I can see it getting harder to get emotional as this progresses. Album: HOLD MY BEER
I saw them live a few weeks back and this song broke me. Vessel was nearly sobbing when he got to that last lyric about freakshow talk
It is a score. All of it together is a storyline. Its just so fantastic.
Also, yes, ii, I wish my drum teacher was still alive to listen to this.
It is a fantastic journey that I'm being taken on! I am sorry to hear about your teacher though.
Totally recommend watching a live version of this song.
I think I would really enjoy a live version!
One of my favorites is Missing Limbs. It's a short song but man I love just hearing the acoustic guitar and vessels voice.
theres still so so much to unfold. glad you liked this one! not everyones cup of tea but thats okay. we are all here as a collective to enjoy this music and doesnt matter who you are or what you do. ST found a way to make this happen and brought so many like-minded people together. Worship.
Aces reaction! They put so much work into the composition - it's very purposeful and patient but doesn't feel calculated, though I know it is. Heaps of music theory at play throughout. Someone said (can't remember who or where) that Sleep Token is a band for musicians and it's so true. I'd take it a step further (as a drummer myself) to also say ii is a drummer's drummer. He's such a delight to hear and watch. I've yet to show his playthroughs to a drum friend that hasn't become a fan. Of all their flavors I think Jazz Token is my favorite - Vessel and ii together are just magic.
It is not much if a stretch to say that II is a drummers drummer, based on the amount of positivity I have seen from drummers in my comments! 🙂
What a beautiful song, Im so glad youre enjoying this journey! As am I with the daily videos!!! I look forward to them for a great break from work each day!
I am glad that me and ST are able to bring some joy to the daily grind!
the choreography in this video is so mesmerizing and beautiful. that part alone gets me emotional.
Sleep Token are my favourite band. Ive seen them live 3 times.
This isn't in my top 3 of their songs BUT i was front row, and at the climax of this song III, Vessel and IV came together in the centre of the stage standing shoulder to shoulder jamming out, and i cried. It was overwhelming.
ST are pure catharsis.
That sounds amazing!
When I say, Music is Dance, I say it as a dancer, somebody who’s not afraid of getting out on the dance floor, alone and having others feel the urge to do the same. That was decades ago, but I still dance in my kitchen. I appreciate your ST quest! I’m am along for the ride. ✌🏼😎
Interpret the music however you want. If that is through dance, so be it! 🙂
Looking forward to your video for Fall for Me. The very definition of a "minimal" kind of song. VERY emotional.
Also, after this album, idk if you've noticed but there are drum playthroughs for a few songs. Seeing II masterfully hot stuff is good for the soul 😁
Spoilers... I was not prepared. I don't think that is spoiling much though 😂
I have been told about the offerings and I am going to circle back to those when I finish the main trip through the albums 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown great! And yeah, that video man... A perfect way to split the album in two parts.
Something i only realised fairly recently was the link between the video aesthetic and the line from Higher: "I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet"... There's self references everywhere
I think the video is him trying to reach out and be the person she wants him to be, only for him to refuse and her reject him again, ad infinitum
A lot of sleep token's songs leave me emotionally full and satisfied. I think that is what you were trying to describe at the end.
Even though the lyrics tend to be very emotional, seeing the pure pleasure on your face that the music is giving you brings a smile to my face.
Once you get to know the song better, you will be able to not only concentrate on the lyrics more but you may be able to decipher the story that the video is telling too. How both song and video start and end the same. How the dancer has the same white ribbons on her wrists that Vessel ties onto the trees. Everything this band does has purpose and meaning. From the music, to the lyrics, to the videos and any artwork.
I hope Fall For Me wasn't too hard on you. Both the song and the video are heartbreaking. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I don't have a very good poker face, do I? 😂
I think I will have fun piecing this one together!
It wasn't the easiest, hopefully you all enjoy the video 🤘
I love this song. I know what it’s like to be full of love for someone but forbidden to give it away to that person. That’s when love hurts. Vessel says the things about my emotions that I could never find the words to explain them. His lyrics has helped me make sense of my life in ways therapy never could. I’m moved by every line. He’s one of us and ST has kept me company through rough periods over the last few years.
After seeing this, I'm very much so looking forward to seeing what you think of one song on the third album called 'Aqua Regia' when you get to it. It's one of my favourites and I resonate with this song in the same way as Aqua Regia on the third album. Good video! Looking forward to more
I look forward to getting to that one as well if it anything like this one 🙂
@@BraindeadBreakdown I'm really looking forward to see what you think of the third album all together tbh. As a Sleep Token fan, the first and second albums are incredible, but I strongly feel that the third album is truly peak Sleep Token.
Their musicianship levelled up insane amounts between albums 2 and 3, Vessel's voice somehow got better when it was already insane, the production on the tracks got better, and they really pushed themselves and their 'sound' as a band. You can probably hear it in the tracks you've already reacted to: Ascensionism and Take Me Back To Eden. There's a reason that 3rd album exploded them in popularity and I'm excited for you to experience it
@@sparkes7293 Based on the 2 songs I have heard, I am absolutely going to love it! Sleep Token final form haha 😂 People all seem to have different opinions on which album is best etc but they all generally agree that they are all bangers!
This is still one of my favorite Sleep Token songs. Love it to death. Worship. Take me back to Eden is still my album of the year. I'm glad Spiritbox is only coming out with an EP this Friday and not album because I love Spiritbox as well. Right now top 3 band Sleep Token, Spiritbox, and Periphery still there. Periphery used to be number one.
I was waiting for you to get to this song/music video. Together they creat perfection. Easily one of my favorite songs by them.
I hope the reaction was worth the wait!
@@BraindeadBreakdown I was not left disappointed
I'm 40 now , I wish I could have had this when I was a teenager, I thunk I would have had a full blown religious experience with Sleep Token back then !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
A lot of regulars from my comments would agree with you! 😊
Love this song so much ❤
Your face when the jazz hit- my friend. You are still in for so very many good treats. So many. (Not me, fresh back to land and WiFi, immediately watching any missed ST reactions first thing… 🤣)
Congratulations on having WiFi again! I hope I have left plenty of entertainment for you! 😂
i actually wasnt too sure you would like this! so glad u did. This is one of em songs that becomes better over time as well, atleast for me
This one surprised me, I loved how the off style elements were incorporated!
🤯🤯🤯😆😆 Mind blown huh??? Yeah, they tend to do that to ya! I love them so much, they make you feel so. much. It's wonderful isn't it?? I liked your Luther Vandross comparison, although there may be some people who are like.... Who the hell is that???....😂 I can see what you were saying tho. I liked the jazz element to this song. It was really well put together and whoever did this video, wow. I love this video, it's so pretty but melancholic at the same time. Vessel never ceases to amaze me with his vision of where he wants this band. To classify them as anything is difficult because they do a little of EVERYTHING lol 😂. I think that's the formula that makes them so good. I'm glad you are really enjoying them. Vessel and the band deserve all the love from music lovers. They are certainly special. Thanks for the video as usual it didn't disappoint. Til. next time then, ✌
❤ W O R S H I P ❤
I did feel the Luther Vandross comparison might alienate a few younger viewers 😂 I really enjoyed this music video! Thanks for watching as always 🤘
@@BraindeadBreakdownnot to jump in, but I totally forgot to give a nod to that Luther Vandross reference. You mentioned that progression and I was like, “holy shit, he’s right!” I’m a big 90s R&B guy and growing old, so you earned some points in my book for that one.
@@UnXplainable1 sounds like we're around the same age 😆. That was my era as well....mid-late 80s and 90s....those were the days man!
ST reminds me of FNM in some of the songwriting and "out there"
Another top review, dude 😊
Thanks dude! 🙂
Favorite lyric from this song: “I’ll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in, you’ll find a different way to keep from setting sail again.”
Wish I could say that I couldn’t relate to that.
By the way I love that you’re a music first reactor, lyrics always take a few listens to sink in.
A lot of ST lyrics hit home hard like that! I have been relistening to a lot of the ones I have reacted to, there are little gems like that. You are vibing and then a line comes out of no where like Mike Tyson 😂
I am happy you are enjoying it, when I first started I was worried that it wouldn't be to the liking of most people!
“Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday” is always a gorgeous or naughty line also depending on your perspective.
"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?" is the line I wish I couldn't relate to. Seems like we've got the whole song covered here. I always point to this song as a pristine example of Vessel's lyricism. I mean, any song could be chosen, but the turns of phrase and metaphors he came up with here are mind-blowing to me.
Vessel is a true poet, I can only aspire to come up with such comparisons and euphemisms.
@@UnXplainable1 that's my favorite part of the song too....(so relatable). What you said earlier about why isn't this song on the radio is so true. This is a totally radio worthy song. I guess some people may not have liked the jazz portion? I don't know, because if this were MTV of the old days I believe this video would have
made them really popular 😂
But now everything is on demand CZcams so if you're not looking for something like this then it doesn't get airplay to a broader audience, it just stays in its own little wheelhouse. Shame too! Because it is so so good!
Worship
Such a gorgeous song

This is a small clip from the front row of their Seattle show I attended on 09.30.2023 playing this song.
Thank you, I will give this a look 🙂
I'm so glad you're doing everything from ST and actually enjoying the roller coaster with everyone on YT. It's amazing to see someone feel intense emotions from the music that has done so much for me. Amazing, bro.
I'd bet a good hundred bucks that after hearing the last song of this album trilogy you'll become a puddle for a good hour or so, lol.
If that happens, should I do a puddle livestream? 😂😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown Do that clickbait title. *Becoming a live puddle but you won't ever guess who I'm listening to*
😂😂
@@karlissulcs3822 Is it clickbait if it is true? 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown That's the best kind of clickbait.
@@BraindeadBreakdown I would legit tune in for a Euclid livestream so we can all cry together
You gotta stop apologizing for your reaction to the musicality, even if it gives you a different internal feeling than the "vibe" of the song. If the instrumentation is what excites you, then be excited! :) we appreciate your insights and commentary regardless of the subjective vibe of the song!
Missing Limbs is gonna get you at the end, and that's a promise lol
(Say it with me folks) I'm sorry 🙂
All kidding aside, I am glad you guys enjoy hearing my opinions! Apologising all the time a trait of my personality that a lot of my friends have complained about for years though. Unfortunately, I don't think it is going anywhere any time soon 😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown same lol I promise I'm just kidding 🤙 Something something people pleasing due to trauma. Thanks for the vid as always! 😊
13:56 LOL
😂😂
HAHAHA my thoughts exactly!
You still have quite a bit of a journey to go with just this album. Last three songs will probably do it. If my intuition is correct. 🤘🔥🤘❤️🫂
I am getting close now! 🙂
Having browsed the comments, I see I was right and Fall For Me got you hard. Is it awful of me to say I can't wait to see your reaction? 😅
It is not, It is a harsh truth that all you guys really wanna see is me cry 😜 You don't have long to wait!
@@BraindeadBreakdown I mean it's not that we like watching you suffer! 😅 But it's very validating to see other people have the same strong, visceral reaction to their music that I have. A friend of mine (yes, got her to sub for ya 💪🏻) does the same thing. We like seeing that we're not the only ones who react so strongly to this magic Vessel has created.
And you best believe I'll be checking in right at 11am (5pm your time) to see what happened!
@@miss__anthropy I am just playing around 🙂 thank you so much for staying with me, your friend too! Enjoy the video, I will be lurking in the comments around launch time as usual 🤘
