I tried to gain a higher resolution but was unable, i will continue to try and re-upload if i can.
Any other info on this video is appreciated! Thank you to the reddit user who helped me obtain this gem.
Man, he came such a long way from "dont let the world swallow you" to "Lets get swallowed whole". Truely beautiful musicianship!
Oh wow damn
😭💙💜🤍
💜💜💜
True.!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder how many Easter eggs like this there are through ST music. As more of Blacklit Canopy music comes out I wonder if we will continue to find ties to his past in his current music. ❤
This is our secret club. Enjoy it while it lasts
Yep
Our secret canopies
Worship!

1 quick google search and you know,yet i respect the privacy of an band members and i would love to keep it that way.
I’m noticing Leo used to sing primarily in falsetto and it’s beautiful but I’m so glad he started using his lower range because it’s fucking incredible
This man is so talented. He should start a metal band
@@Itz_VolatileLOL 🤓
@@Itz_VolatileLOLwhoosh
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉
Maybe slee....
I just cackled
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this lad is one of the most talented musicians of our time
Not a "missing limb" though 😅
Not even remotely true. But he does do interesting and compelling music that does speak to a lot of people.
He’s probably the most talented musician to come out of the UK in the last 10 years
@@ToveriJurivery true - which of his contemporaries can hold a candle to him?
@@ToveriJurias a musician I also vehemently disagree with your statement.
This man pursuing music for 10 + years and not giving up on his passion! Admirable.
It really gives me hope 🥲
Truly a sacred moment captured in time
Worship
The filming is actually terrible. But im glad it exists still
@@Fqbbpgo figure, this video was probably resurfaced from 10-12 years ago
@@ac.demitri of course, I was referring to the person with the camera. Seems to forget how tall Leo is…
Leo is so incredibly talented and beautiful inside and out. We are so lucky to be living at the same time as his art.
Yes oh yes! ❤
It's like being alive during the renaissance I feel very lucky. ☘️😊
I agree. A unique and beautiful voice. Lots of potential.
*Friendly Reminder*
Guys, keep the comments with in the realms of the music. Anything regarding speculation of their relationship or anything else will be deleted. I was traveling and missed a few comment strings that should have been gone a while ago. If you're here to enjoy the music great, that's why i put it up. But please be respectful. I don't want to see any negative comments about Gemma. I would like to leave commenting open as long as possible until its no longer viable to do so. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!!
thank you so much for sharing this 🙏 do you have more? also out of curiosity why have i never seen this one before? i'm so confused lol
Looks like someone screen grabbed it from either an old FB post, CZcams vid, or from the original SoundCloud upload from the Bristol Live Room, not quite sure.... but it was sitting in someones Dropbox until they decided to share it recently. Right now just the audio for it exist on Soundcloud.
@@Ghostwith_themost thank you for responding!
Worship
Cant believe a man so ridiculously talented like him exists. Worship
Leo is such a blessing to the world. I will never forget how much peace he has given me through his art
Worship
You aren't wrong, I lost my grandfather in October, we were incredibly close. Sleep Token has kept me from going under mentally, I never realised what music can do for you until now.
"No one cared about me until i put on the mask"
clever =)
Dudee I love this comment
He looks very skinny here, and I can see the sadness throught his eyes. Hope this beautiful soul is happy with all his achivements ❤
I'm so glad to get these lost memories found and shared. So grateful that I am living in a universe where he exists.
I bet someone will do a documentary on his life and music someday.
dudes a legend in the making
Literally everything this man touches turns to diamonds
Diamonds in the trees..
pentagrams in the night sky…
Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails…
you have to admit that he had to go through some damn hard times to get to this point. He deserves this success. I hope that it gives him the peace and love he needs to heal from inside
@@cowboysamurai8192 With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail...
So good to be alive. And so proud this kid didn't gave up and became who he is today. We can see it's not an overnight thing, the work was always done.
I really like there isn't disrespectful people around here and we can enjoy these branches of time, of history thehehe
Have a nice day everyone ❤
You can see his passion just bursting to come out. As if he needs to belt, scream, and weep. So much love for this beautiful human. 🖤
And 4 years later he's in Atlanta, Georgia and I'm blown away by this "unknown" opening act 🙌 The rest is history 🙏
It's super interesting to see how much he's grown as a musician and especially a singer. If I didn't know who he was, I don't think I would've recognized his voice because his style changed so much. I mean, he was still spectacular, but you can also see that he hadn't quite found his own voice just yet.
Sleep picked the right representation. Worship.
His own voice?! Whose voice is that then? He was younger and here singing folk like songs with minimal production and instruments. The boy’s been singing since birth probably and voice and style will change along the years. This is his head voice which you can still hear a lot nowadays.
@Fqbbp I'm not referring to the style of music or the production value nor to him using head voice. It's just that you can hear how he's grown more confident in using his own unique style of intonation, phrasing, which vowels or consonants to emphasize and so on that makes his voice stand out anywhere. That's what I mean by "own voice". I'd even say that his style has become iconic enough that a new generation of singers now tries to imitate him. Another example of a truly unique and groundbreaking style could be, for example, Michael Jackson.
Massive talent this man is.
Thank you Sleep for awakening something beautiful and sinister in this anomaly...
It’s still the autumn leaves these ancient canopy’s we used to lay beneath. (Coincidence I think not)
A blacklit paradise
Worship
I've found it increasingly harder to put into words what his music and lyrics stir in me. Every week, I'm finding a new, hidden masterpiece and nearly every single one speaks to something in me. Thank you, Leo! Your music has moved me away from dark places, and I have you to thank for saving my life.
❤❤❤
Beautifully put WORSHIP X
this is one of those songs you listen when you're drinking tea next to the fireplace with your eyes closed and just feel
I listen to thuís drunk an depressed... and it gives me hope
His voice brings me so much peace. I don’t understand it, but I’m grateful for it
Gosh he's such a fucking beautiful creation of nature. Glad to be living in a world with him
I was fortunate enough to find out two years ago. After hours and hours on redit searching "who is you know who" someone deep down in the reddit abyss said, "Im a UK musician in the scene. It's definitely Leo Faulkner" so I searched Leo Faulkner and found Backlit Canopy. Once i heard his voice I knew it was he who shall not be named. Glad to I dscover his past endeavors. As of 2 years ago, all of his Backlit Canopy songs were available for free on Soundcloud. That may have changed.
Actually the Blacklit Canopy CZcams page was very recently updated with remastered version of the BC EP. Hmmm. It's also available on Spotify for download. Follow the 🦋
I would never have chosen to see this on my own but I guess something in the algorithm felt I needed to finally see 😭
Seriously!
this man could start a cult with such a voice
Im following the cult.
Lol
Worship
Indeed 😉
😂 he did.
If I'd know his music existed then, I'd fallen for him the same way I have now 🖤
God, he's so beautiful, I will forever adore this man.
"I dine in silence on bread ground from hardship
The easier it is the more it tastes like ash"
Straight from the soul through the vehicle of language.
What a gift it is to be alive at the same time as this man 😭
How wonderful it is to see this journey
The man, the myth, the legend. Talented in many ways and beyond words. Thankful for this lovely creature 🙌
Oh. My. God. 😮
I can't even believe what I'm watching right now.
Worship 🙏
This guy should get into a full band, he's got potential ;)
Agreed

omg I love this song ❤️ and just seeing him up there, pre ST, no mask, just him..Leo..gives me goosebumps..and this footage is just WOW. I'm getting emotional just watching it. Please tell me you have more treasures hidden away, this is golden, thank you 🫶🏻
His songs touch my heart in ways no other songs do
I so hope that one day we get the backstory of the evolution that took him from this to where he is now.
I’m not religious but this song makes me want to drop to my knees and pray for just days on end.
#Worship
Don't let the world swallow you. Just let it....take a bite.
This is absolutely golden.
Why do I cry every time I look at him 😍
Everyone talking about his voice (don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing) but hers is also 🔥
What a person does with their pain, determines their journey. Thank you for turning your pain into power with sharing❤😊 thank you also for sharing this.
Her voice is beautiful ❤️
The withering of a soul. Pained deep beyond the heart. A decending spirit fell from the stars. Blackened to the core. Pain envelopes the mass of what used to be. A disease burdened by reality.
There are people who play music, and there are people who create music and then there are those who ARE music. To me it is almost like these types of artist channel something from another dimension almost as if they are a portal for this magical melody that is being called from this dimension. If you notice when people like this are performing it almost seems like something other worldly is happening.
I love this, thank you for commenting.
This guy was created to be music ❤
I cant describe how much this man's art has influenced my life. For a lucky coincidence my son has his name. On clear purpose his art is inked on my skin for eternity. Thanks Leo!
Why does it feel like I'm taking emotional damage and healing simultaneously??
I love how many of these songs come full circle with his later work.
Their voices go so well together.. truly beautiful
It's amazing to see what he has built up over the last few years. He's so talented and has definitely become more confident on stage, even though he's wearing a mask, but he's still the same man with an innate gift.
Can’t believe he’s him. Man. This was good to hear. Still 🔥
It’s like somebody out there knows that it is now again the perfect time for the world to be let it… after all that excitement touring, it’s like back home, in his bedroom, alone, awake till 4 am, being real. ❤
Thanks so much for uploading this rare moment. His voice has improved a lot since then. I love to hear those two sing.
I...wasn't expecting this song to have a live version of it too! It's exciting to be one of the few people knowing this even exist. 🖤
I'm just a Worshipper probably like most in the comments, but I just want to give a big shout out to Gemma for this one. She gave just as much to this song and this performance.
I actually went and bought the little Blacklit Canopy EP on Bandcamp after discovering this as I really like this song in it's own right. While you can obviously hear things from a certain singer that you'll hear again in a certain band that came after this, the combination of the two singers in BC was definitely nice for what it was.
their voices blend like honey and blackberries - sweet and smooth and tart and dark and rich and stitched together by melted sugar and sunlight leaving a red smear in the bowl
He is truly a treasure in this world ❤️ and has my whole heart
No matter what he sings there is passion and emotion. Truly gifted. I’m sure hard work too.
I hope he comes back to this project. Every song is amazing. Would love to see this live
honestly seeing this made me feel better about who is now, ❤what a brilliant guy.
Love watching old videos and seeing the passion he had and still has. Going from this to selling out arenas. Should give you all motivation to never give up and to know nothing is ever to big for you!
Leo, you are so loved ❤
crying about this at 2 in the morning. man, we're so lucky. 🖤 thanks for the upload. :)
This is so different from his current style but just as good, he evolved so well but like he was killing it that long ago, that young. What is it that he cannot do??
Duuuuude thank you so much for sharing this gem. Was really missing them after 2 stops of the recent tour. Much love 🙏
What a beautiful voice this girl has wow
I was listening to them nonstop and CZcams recommended this..though it was uploaded only three days ago .. 🤩😍
His voice is so beautiful and mesmerising 😆🖤
Leo is literally so beautiful inside and out. Gives me chills every single time.
Awesome. As soon as this dude opens his mouth, it's just magic.
Wow ! His voice was already perfection back then. So proud he didn't gave up on his dreams ❤
this is the best performance we’ve seen so far
Thank you for taking the time to upload these ethereal snippets into Leo's world❤
My god, my heart is bursting.
To see vessel like this& look at him now.
Sweetheart& just beautiful
Worship❤
Best time spent on CZcams since I found all these Secrets ❤
I’m sobbing, this song is so beautiful 😢
PURE TALENT ❤ im glad he got what he deserves now
I am so thankful I stumbled upon this!
so proud of how far you've come.
The guy looks like he wants to go where nobody else will ever go
MY FAVORITE BLACKLIT SONGGGG
Yay!
This is not just special because of who it is, it's also such a beautiful song.
This talented man would fit well painted black and being the front man of a metal band!
Forever a fav of both of their voices, Gemma sounds perfect in this song.
the way their vocals complement and mirror at that perfect time 2:40
He looks so sad. Makes me wanna give him a hug.
Yes I was thinking the same. Sad and very skinny 😢
Is Gemma still performing too? She had a beautiful voice ❤
What a voice.... he's wonderful ❤️
Does anyone else know what I mean when I say that this is "Sunday evening music, lying on the settee with candles lit and your eyes closed as it plays"? There's not many musicians/bands I can put this descriptive to, but another would be Mazzy Star. Such gorgeous music makes my heart melt! ❣️
Just beautiful 🖤🖤 . Their voices harmonise so perfectly.
I could hear this playing while watching the stars. Beneath those ancient canopies.
With pentagrams in the night skies?
@@laravermillion3875 and diamonds in the trees.
Still sounds good without auto tune and massive production. Glad he found his niche in ST. That band is sick!!!
I dine in silence on bread ground from hardship
Til I wake I dine on old encounters
Leo has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard 🖤
Exactly the same feeling. The most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my 36 years
AWESOME .!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥

These two do sound great though.. starting to enjoy this early stuff it growns on you.
It's sad how this songs are so wothy to be heard more, but at the same time they shouldn't be for different reasons
