One of the things that I most love about Wintersleep is that they stay constant. This isn't to say that they haven't evolved over the years - it's just that they're still pure Wintersleep. Quality tunes, always. In this regard I'd put them in the same category as Petty & The Heartbreakers. Love you guys.
I am turning 28 and I've been kind of depressed because my friends and family can't really celebrate with me this year. I had no plans but heard you guys were coming to my hometown in London, Ontario on my birthday (March 21)!! Thanks so much for saving my birthday
The lyrics are haunting. So very true.
Wow !! another breath taking song by Wintersleep. The hook grabs you and takes you to a place only Wintersleep can find
Ah! Depuis le temps que vous suit, écoute de Montréal !
Sounds great, guys. Can’t wait for the record to come out. Super exciting
Awesome song. Met the band out here in Alberta at a gig been listening to the're songs ever seen. Keep up the awesome work paul.
Astounding is a good word to describe this. One of the best songs of the year.
Hope to see you guys soon back in Germany. Feels good to hear of you!
Just discovered this song on cbc radio very nice song guys.

Hey, Wintersleep! have you donated any of the proceeds of this song to anti-genocide or indigenous peoples organizations or similar orgs? Or doing something else similar?
Only 5000 views? I've watched this at least 100 times. Who else?
Haha it really be like that
did an overdose on that song yesterday, man what a mess

Excellent vid and a great song!
P.S. - please come to Utah, or at least Colorado!
Lyrics:
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All of my life,
I turned a blind eye
I don't know why
I turned a blind eye
All of this time
I really can't say why
I don't know why
I'm a history of violence
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All of my mind,
I don't know where to find it
I don't know why
I'm a creature of habit
I'm a past and future
I'm a war never ending
But I la la la,
I'm an ocean of carnage
All my days I wake up open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
Every day I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide.

What??
Gahahahhahhahhahahahhahhshhshs
A bit self-righteous / self-indulgent, really.
George Dias Agreed. It's pretty bad. All of my life I've turned a blind eye. Oh, how Canadian and prosaic. How about writing a meaningful message, not something so despairing and hopeless. Yuck.
“Beneficiary” is a throbbing disco-noir romp that details the genocide of Indigenous peoples and our modern relationship to it. ‘Drive to work all day, try to sleep at night / Beneficiary of a genocide’ vocalist Paul Murphy sings. The lyrics borrow from Australian writer Peter Carey, who in an interview last year asserted, “You wake up in the morning and you are the beneficiary of a genocide.” “As a Canadian, I feel a real connection to that sentiment,” says Murphy. “It really encapsulates the idea of someone historically removed from these atrocities but who nonetheless benefits, and has to come to terms with and find ways to acknowledge and take on a certain responsibility in making it right.”
George Dias Please explain how making a song which draws attention to how people mistreating First Nations in Canada for years by way of taking their land and forcing them into residential schools is self indulgent.
Please explain yourselfs gentleman and tell me what you mean,
Big tune terrible name hard to find and hard to share. Should of called it the benifit. Good tune trying to help
Or not.... maybe just learn to spell? Or at the very least, copy and paste?
Awesome song. Met the band out here in Alberta at a gig been listening to the're songs ever seen. Keep up the awesome work paul.
