I think it's rare to see someone being so vulnerable in their lyrics. They sometimes just hit you by being so raw and honest. I feel like Missing Limbs will probably hit you this way despite not having ii's presence. It really stands out when performed live on this last tour by just being Vessel with a guitar.
They brought some dancers from the same troupe/company on stage with them at Wembley which was really sweet. :) And if this one gets you emotional, fasten your seatbelts for the next track!
It's an insanely emotional one! To battle time and time again ( all the white knots represents "tries") for love, knowing tou love the person but just can stop conflicting. It's heartbreaking! I tear up everytime too, Dallas!
Certainly not trying to actively make you all cry but their live performance of “hallelujah” a few years back really makes you wanna, you can hear the tremble and tears coming through in later sections, I love artists that express themselves like they do and allow you to see their vulnerability. Sleep Token is amazing!
I get it. Something about the music and lyrics just hits different. I basically never cry at all. I remember getting the knock on my door that my dad was gone and couldn't bring myself to tears. Whenever I listen to songs like this something just opens up inside of me. It's like that one girl I loved more than anything and all those emotions come flooding back like a torrent and I can't hold it back. They're special.
This is the song that got me early on in the discovery of this band. Followed you all on twitch! Good luck over there! I also think the ribbons show that he keeps going through this cycle Btw you are screwed for the next track. #tissuegang
Watching him try to kill the love in his heart over and over. 😭 For me, a few songs hooked me at first, but when I realized the albums were a trilogy I went back through. Now there isn’t a bad song in the bunch, and they’re just as good live.
Another song that hits you deeply. I can see those tears Dallas, and it’s perfectly amazing, when music hits you it’s an incredible feeling. Here’s to continuing the journey, Vessel is just incredible and so is the band #WORSHIP ❤️❤️ Hope you are well too Andrea 🥰
Love this song so much. It cuts so much deeper if you have ever been in a relationship where you felt more for someone then they felt with you. He is able to show with his lyrics and this music video that pain of not knowing why that person doesn’t feel the way you do and how you can torture yourself over and over just to put off losing that person, no matter how much it hurts
This one randomly got me for the first time a few months ago, and I'm suddenly just like "why am I sitting here crying?!" As all the comments have said, get ready for the next one to destroy you. IF WE ARE TO BE SUBMERGED LET US BE SUBMERGED TOGETHER 💙
Let it out Dallas, his lyrics and voice with the drums can just wring the emotions out, and for some reason it gives you chills to see them kinda like the m&ms and Santa see each other” OMG, they do exist!!!!! You have to see them live❤️
I came away from the concert in a daze. The whole thing seemed like a dream...surreal. I'm still not sure it happened. LOL. Now I need to see them again.
@@tanasmom1969 absolutely!!! All I can think of is seeing them again, we are so lucky to have them in our time, a band like this only comes around once in a few lifetimes!!!❤️
I love this song and video, it's such a beautiful metaphor that can be interpreted in many ways, I've seen some cool ideas about what this video is about. I hope Sleep Token will go back to making proper videos like this, at least from time to time.
When I saw this pop up I instantly said "oh no" I knew it was gonna get you Dallas. You and I are very similar with our emotions...I could see it when it hit your face. This one is so musically beautiful and full.
you are not ready for the next song on the album thats for sure , sleep token will make you FEEL something you have never felt before , i have cried almost at all of the songs , i dont cry as much but i will get teary eyed for sure make sure to have plenty of tissues on hand for the next one
I hear you! Jaws took a minute to grow on me it was one I skipped for a while, but I really like it now. And I have a hunch that that's the reason they don't ha e too many full. I n music videos, to not distract from the music. All though selfishly, I would love a full music video for every song 😅
This is one of my favorites. The imagery in the music video is perfect. Before I met my spouse, I was in toxic relationship where I gave every part of me and received almost nothing in return. For years I fought for a love that was never meant to happen. This song hits hard. Also, the thing about Vessel is that he has an ability to make the listener feel what he is feeling, not just with lyrics, but with how he sings. I heard someone say once that he sings every word like it's its own song.
This song is about him fighting for her love and failing every time and being willing to die for her. Each ribbon represents all of the times he tried and failed.
Loves yall's reaction. They played this live when I saw them in Dallas TX and it was great. Such a lovely song. Love when the guitar and drums kick in.
Dallas....your face just gives it away. I know when your gna cry before you do. Another good one! This next one is a tear jerker too. Get ready. It's a capella. SO. GOOD. Watch the video. You need to take a poll on whether or not Dallas is gna cry on that week's song....the night before. Lol.
i saw someone point this out in the music videos comments, but something i love pointing out for others and i think is interesting to note: everything they do is on purpose, INCLUDING everything in the music videos. and obviously we all know the band is heavy on metaphors. so WITH THAT IN MIND: when you look at vessel after he takes out the sword, you can see his swings are like.. extremely halfhearted. like he isn't skilled with the sword at all and the dancers are all dodging out of the way easily, and then he barely resists when they start controlling his hands. well when you look at the lyrics of the song in combination with the music video, the song is about an old, unrequited love that he can't let go of, right?? those dancers are representing his emotions towards this person, and he's in this cycle of KNOWING he needs to move on and get over them (IE kill his feelings), but he doesnt have the strength to do it. so he keeps going back, over and over, to try and do what's right - but in the end he can't move on, despite his feelings for them only hurting him. this song makes me want to eat GLASS
This is one that I've been waiting for since yall started the ST journey. Fall for me, High Water, and Missing Limbs. Are the next ones I'm excited to see!!
This is definitely my favorite song by them. It was one of the first I heard by them and it still has the sleep token vibe yet is different from their other songs. I like listening to this song while driving at night in the winter when it’s snowing, it just sets a ton for the drive.
I feel odd saying things like this as a 40 year old but I really think Vessel is an absolute musical genius. These albums could easily be turned into live action plays. The songwriting and the structure of the songs is unreal. II brought me in since I don't think my stubborn self was ready to accept them with so many different sounds and genres mixed in. Watching reactions is kind of a great way to feel like you're reliving the excitement of hearing these songs again. I cannot wait to see what they come up with next.
I feel you, Dallas. This was one the first songs from Sleep Token that made me emotional. I was really sad when they didn't play it live when I went to see them in concert.
😌 the emotions…the take on this song is that Vessel is struggling to be loved by sleep but is unsuccessful and all the ribbons are the times he tried…the imagery😢. I see everyone is trying to prepare you for the next one and I agree.
Fall for me is next which is devastating for most people. And it hits VERY different knowing that the 'actor' in the video of Fall for me IS vessel unmasked (no face revealed tho)
Another band I love is called As everything unfolds. I don’t think they’re super well known in the u.s at least. Check out their song wither, take me there, let me go.
I just thought of something that I think would be a good idea for the Fall For Me reaction. If you’re down for it. The song is shorter and on the first listen/watch it’s kinda hard to take in the lyrics and the words that pop up on the video as they’re not the lyrics and are completely different. In my opinion I think it would be a pretty cool/good idea if you watch it twice. Take in the song the first time and then take in the words in the video on the second time. Just a suggestion! That way you can get the full experience without having to try to listen to the lyrics and read the words at the same time.
@@dna2001 When I first watched the video I was having a hard time keeping up to soak up the song/lyrics when I was trying to read what’s in the video so I restarted it and focused on the song first and then went back and focused on the words in the video. I’ve seen reactors just react once and they get lost between the lyrics and video and say they’ll have to watch it again later, which we don’t know if they actually do or not lol, but I’ve seen others react to it twice in one video to catch everything so I just definitely think that would be awesome for y’all to do! Also be prepared to get a very fast teeny tiny glimpse of vessel’s face from the nose down without the charcoal on it 😬😏
This is one of my top 5 fave Sleep Token songs. I was emotional as well, and still am pretty often when I listen to it. The meaning behind the lyrics and the video hit home for me in regards to a certain relationship/person. Also though can we just talk about how beautifully shot this video is?? I wish Sleep Token would do more videos with Vessel and the band.
@@dna2001 I mean I find the video to Jaws interesting because there’s a song called Nazareth on their 2nd EP that actually tells the story within the lyrics that would fit the video and get you to understand it. It came out before Jaws did. But I guess management thought Jaws would grab people’s attention more which is why that video exists to Jaws. It would make so much more sense if it was paired with Nazareth instead. Jaws is a great part two to that song but it doesn’t make much sense based on the difference in lyrical content. I think management really effed up there. I also like that video for, like… scientific reasons 😂😂😂
You wanna react to sleep token Calcutta, if you wanna see him without his mask, only close face shots though, their not gonna give away much are they 😉 older song, but a really good one.
If this one got Dallas, the next one is gonna hurt. Make sure you looks at the lyrics and the words in the vid. I can only listen to the next one - can't watch the video.
Also i understand why Jaws kind of threw yall off, but honestly for me, its impossible for me to follow music videos the first time seeing them because im so distracted by the music. I imagine for most people it's the other way around. Definitely give it another listen when you have time.
Oh boy, you're not ready for the emotional rollercoaster that is the next song, especially with the music video
Fall For Me is my fav song by these guys
I think it's rare to see someone being so vulnerable in their lyrics. They sometimes just hit you by being so raw and honest. I feel like Missing Limbs will probably hit you this way despite not having ii's presence. It really stands out when performed live on this last tour by just being Vessel with a guitar.
YES ! Missing Limbs was amazing live. It's one of my favorites anyway.
Missing Limbs hits so hard.
Watching missing limbs live made the entire row I was sitting in weep
They brought some dancers from the same troupe/company on stage with them at Wembley which was really sweet. :) And if this one gets you emotional, fasten your seatbelts for the next track!
I think he had a way to resonate with people for a wide variety of reasons. What is incredible to me is that he can make someone feel so emotional
Sincerely can't wait to see y'all hit the last song on TMBTE when you get there. Crazy what this band has pulled off.
My favourite song from them. ❤️😭
It's an insanely emotional one! To battle time and time again ( all the white knots represents "tries") for love, knowing tou love the person but just can stop conflicting. It's heartbreaking! I tear up everytime too, Dallas!
And the first verse and last verse are exactly the same. So sick.
@@JustinPramis it's all a cycle!
I've said it 10p times Vessel is a Male Siren. ST's music pulls the heart strings and doesn't stop.
Certainly not trying to actively make you all cry but their live performance of “hallelujah” a few years back really makes you wanna, you can hear the tremble and tears coming through in later sections, I love artists that express themselves like they do and allow you to see their vulnerability. Sleep Token is amazing!
Y’all definitely need to listen to Euclid. It’s such an amazing and beautiful song.
my favorite and underrated ST song

Absolutely my favorite song and it always gets me every time. His lyrics in this song are just astronomical. Hearing this live just broke me.
This song is just amazing!!! The next one is going to be a tear jerker as well. Alkaline is a cool video as well
Let it out Dallas, his lyrics and voice with the drums can just wring the emotions out, and for some reason it gives you chills to see them kinda like the m&ms and Santa see each other” OMG, they do exist!!!!! You have to see them live❤️

@@erniehegler3175 That is so true. I'm 55 and a huge music lover and I've never been so affected by a band. ❤
@@tanasmom1969 I’m 57 and am sooo in love with their music!!!!!!
The next song has a music video too and it's also a must. Quite a short song but combined with the video boy is it powerful! Can't wait!
This song has so many eggs. "Perfect start to a perfect war, picking up the roses putting down the sword " is the fight scene reference.
I'm pretty sure the line is actually "putting down the roses picking up the sword"
I love this song and video, it's such a beautiful metaphor that can be interpreted in many ways, I've seen some cool ideas about what this video is about. I hope Sleep Token will go back to making proper videos like this, at least from time to time.
Posting this comment before watching. But this is the one I'd think you gals would love the most so far. Fun for me to play on drums as well. 😊
Love you guys!
When I saw this pop up I instantly said "oh no" I knew it was gonna get you Dallas. You and I are very similar with our emotions...I could see it when it hit your face. This one is so musically beautiful and full.
This song here is criminally underrated!!
Such a powerful song. Loved the reaction.
The video has a "Scarlet" and "Ultraviolet" reference to the "Higher" lyrics
you are not ready for the next song on the album thats for sure ,
sleep token will make you FEEL something you have never felt before , i have cried almost at all of the songs , i dont cry as much but i will get teary eyed for sure
make sure to have plenty of tissues on hand for the next one

Vessel has a gift for tapping into your emotions. This album has several songs (the next one in particular) that are just crushing.
Oh Dallas, such a beautiful and sad song, Vessel sounds so defeated 😔 Thanks for the heartfelt react sweeties 🩷
Dallas....your face just gives it away. I know when your gna cry before you do. Another good one! This next one is a tear jerker too. Get ready. It's a capella. SO. GOOD. Watch the video.
You need to take a poll on whether or not Dallas is gna cry on that week's song....the night before. Lol.

I'm sure it's already been said but boy, if you found that one emotional, brace yourself for the next few weeks 😂 especially next week
It’s been said a bunch haha so it’s making me nervous but excited haha!! Can’t wait to hear it! -Dallas
Save some tears for Fall for me.. it's gonna be tough 🖤
I’m getting nervous with comments like this haha, but excited to hear it! -Dallas
If you thought this song was sad..wait till you hear the next one!😮
Oh man, I don’t know if I’m ready lol -Dallas
Oh boy Fall For Me is gonna destroy you .
Pound for pound the saddest both the video and the lyrics…
