ORIGINAL VIDEO • Rain
Check this out.
The first album ends with Blood Sport.
"I made loving you a blood sport, I can't win"
Then, the second album starts with Atlantic.
"So flood me like Atlantic, wither me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands"
And then this album has Rain.
"You cast the dust into nothing, and wash out the salt from my hands"
Blood from Blood Sport gets washed away by Atlantic's salt water and Rain washed out the salt from Atlantic.
Just amazing.
^ THIS!
holy shit i've never thought of that
And theres A LOT more. Like The "Bough" thing and The cycle. Vessel IS a f**king Genius. If you know, you know. Worship
@@viniweird4679 he also uses the relationship as a "weapon, sword" etc. a lot of times
@@pufferzsola69 yeah, and The Hurts caused By The relationship is referenced as The Teeth, or The Bite.
Now you have to check "Alkaline". The lyrics in this song is crazy. And drummmer also going nuts as always
I second that!
Alkaline was the song that introduced me to Sleep Token - and II's drumming on that one got me instant goosebumps...
In contrast to their other songs, Alkaline is structure-wise pretty straigh forward, but the lyrics, vocals and drumming make it one hell of a song!
The lyrics are straight poetry..
@@ramanmonkey true!
This album is the end of a trilogy of albums. The story actually predates the albums and starts with their first release from 2016, an EP entitled One. This was followed by another EP in 2017, entitled Two, and then in 2018 by 3 non-album singles, one of which is a cover. The very last song on Take Me Back To Eden, called Euclid has a lot of callbacks to previous songs and ends with the melody and lyrics from the first song on their first album, Sundowning, called The Night Does Not Belong To God.
On the surface level the basic story is of a toxic relationship that went catastrophically wrong and the emotional struggle of the aftermath and finally the acceptance of coming to terms with it. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
They played this in Dallas texas this year. It started pouring rain as he chanted " Rain down on me". Lightning synching to II's drumming. Absolutely insane moment
I was there and it was transcendent. Forever etched into my memory.
Wile it all sound like it's about a toxic relationship .If you follow the lore it's about the 4 vessels for the eldricht goddess sleep. Their prayers are not answered anymore. She has abandoned them. And they would do anything to feel her presence again
any footage recorded? i'm interested
You know he’s channeling something for real when that happens
I was there! It was one of the best nights of my life.
Sleep Token doesn't make music. They orchestrate an experience.
Bro, you are a real professional. First off love the very engaged approach you take in your reactions, and I love how in the beginning you took that quick pause to talk about something but used the opportunity to adjust the volume, then used that donation (or request) interruption to talk about the song, without any awkward addressing of it. Top notch 🤙🏻
The thing about Sleep Token you need to know to understand their lyrics is they are a band based on their own lore. The lead vocalist is a Vessel of their deity, Sleep, in which he has a deep spiritual relationship that came to him in his dreams. He longs for Sleep's love and embrace, which he has described as a vast ocean, but Sleep tends to hold Vessel at a distance to create that intense sense of longing. So every song is a "Token" or offering to their deity "Sleep," hence the name Sleep Token. Their concerts are always referred to as rituals where they worship Sleep. Now, break down the lyrics from that perspective, it makes a lot more sense.
I love this response however, Vessel refers to Sleep as a HE.
The songs are said to be a token of worship to Sleep not about Sleep.
Yeah that tends to get twisted about.
If u start from their first album n listen all the way thru u will understand the story here. Interpret it for urself. This album is a healing 1 from the wounds of the past. They're amazing!
@@Dreveryn thank you
Rain is one of my favourite of theirs. The whole album is a vibe
If you ever had the time to listen to the album from the first song to the last song it really does tell a story. I’m glad you liked it!! 😊
Don't tell him what Nik Nocturnal thinks this song is about
Sleep Token is most definitely a book. The songs are interwoven together to tell a story, a grand masterpiece. Deep as you can get in music.
Atlantic - sleep token
Love this song, when I saw them live in Dallas this year, it started *pouring* rain right at the end of the song. The crowd went nuts, it was amazing!
Worship
One of My favorite sleep token songs 🎵 💃
First Sleep Token song I have heard. Been a fan for a year now)
Sleep Token is VERY deep, Vessel's lyrics is pure poetry. He's such a talented lyricist, and vocalist. I adore his voice. So good. But, yes, they are very deep and emotionally charged. They straight up will make you SOB 😭😭😭. Their trilogy of albums is a journey I'm glad i went on... such wonderful music and in VARIETY like you said! They really can do it all. Looking forward to more. The Offering and Higher from their Sundowning album, Hypnosis and Alkaline from their Tomb album, and The Apparition and Granite from the Eden album. Whether you react to all their songs or just cram them to learn more of the story, please please please save EUCLID for last. It'll make more sense if you've heard the other songs first.
Worship ❤
Every Sleep Token song is a song of worship to the goddess of Sleep
Their music tells a story from the very beginning to the very end of all their music. There are even call backs and references to his previous band.
6:26 this face is one of the best compliments you can give
The story is through out the 3 album trilogy
So many amazing songs to choose from! I am truly enjoying your ST reaction videos, thank you!
For something a little different, you must check out Sugar from the first album Sundowning………and the entire EP 2 is unbelievable!
Alkaline was the first song I heard by Sleep Token and was instantly hooked. Loving these reactions and how into the lyrics you get.
What if I told you that this album is the third in a trilogy. It has told a story through all three of them.
You really need to do a deep dive to truly appreciate how all these tie together.
It's my belief he's talking to himself in this one (there are two other songs in which he's talking to himself). This trilogy is about self-discovery and learning to love yourself, after giving up everything for someone or something else.
The Offering is my favorite ST song. I fell into the ST rabbit hole, love all three albums.
It’s a TRILOGY! Three albums- like 3 books as you said on your video. All 3 albums are great.
Atlantic. It's basically an auditory movie.
Wash out the salt from my hands is a direct reference from the 3rd song on the 2nd EP
My top two favorites: Telomeres, and of course, Euclid. I’ll be watching every single Sleep Token reaction you do but I cannot wait for you to get to those two.
You need to listen to all 3 albums from start to finish. Once you get the whole picture the story really gets you...Amazing band. Can't wait to see em in December at the Leeds Arena. WORSHIP...
Ascensionism next. Such an experience
Salt presumably eluding to tears.
This is a 3 album story and everything is woven together with things on the 3rd album calling back to the first album
Ambient Metal/Baddie Core is what genre I categorize this band in. Also this song has a double meaning on saturate me and rain down on me. Some of Vessels lyrics also have sexual innuendos. In this instance he's also referring to her being a squirter.
I am subscribing almost exclusively to watch you take the Sleep Token ride! I can’t wait to see it
Ambient Metal- and im here for every last millisecond of it ❤
I can't recommend enough that you listen to all three albums in order. It's not just a story, it's an entire history of a relationship between Vessel and the mythical deity, Sleep. There are major themes throughout as well. For example, lots of songs refer to different things in chemistry or alchemical properties and there is also an underlying sub-theme about vorephelia.
NEXT - SLEEP TOKEN "THE APARATION"
The offering. We gotta here it
Yes, all their songs are deep and their albums are a trilogy (so far). If you want to check another song out from this album, TMBTE, I recommend The Apparition, Vore and Granite. I will say that if you're planning on listening to the full TMBTE album, you may want to listen to "The Night Does Not Belong to God" which is the first song from their first album, before listening to "Euclid", which is the last song on the TMBTE album.
Worship 🤘
This has been a great week. Worship ❤
Seeing this live was something else 😭
It's written like a worship song
Like your vibe my man. Subbed.
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole of sleep token… If you wanna have a true experience please I highly recommend starting at their first ep, One. There is hints and small things that connect all together when you listen from their old music to new. One, Two, Sundowning and then on🖤 Have fun and try not to cry.
Watch "sleep token lore" it'll blow you away
Been loving all Sleep Token reactions lately cant wait for more.

Hello AR, on July 21st the second SleepToken EP called "two" came out where you can find the song "Nazareth..." Totally recommended.

Oh brotha its the ultimate trauma trilogy with their 3 albums, I always rec for people to take the full journey especially with the 2 EP's and then into the albums. Thank me later!

Listening to Atlantic will help you better understand the context of this song.
Hey AR you should check out there roots of older songs Sleep Token - Blood Sport (from the room below) beautiful paino piece and mabye Sugar kinda like a Fifty shades of grey track :D
Yes, there are a lot of callbacks to their songs from previous albums. It's a trilogy so if you have time to listen to their previous albums, that would be awesome. I love your reactions man, keep it up!

Made loving you a blood sport wait NO
DO (SUGAR) First pleas..
Hope you react to Stray kids Chk Chk Boom. ❤️
Will Ramos's cover of Rain is soooooooooooooooooooo much better.
You have too many questions, haven't you, Vessel is telling us a story, rather you listen from Album I then II Then III, by the end the story tells itself, cheers,...
The backstory of the band is that Vessel first encountered the god/goddess Sleep in a dream, and Sleep promised him success in his music career if he promoted worship of them. Hence, Sleep Token (songs are tokens in honor of Sleep), their concerts are "rituals", there's a lot of religious imagery in their set decorations and album art. The story told by their music loosely follows Vessel's first encounter with Sleep, and how Sleep consumes him and constantly demands more of him, yet he just wants Sleep to be as devoted to him as he is to them. A lot of the lore of the band is generated by fans, Vessel hasn't given many details of it--for example, Vessel refers to Sleep as "he" but all the songs use female pronouns (I mean obviously these songs are about his personal experience and this project is him working some stuff out), so personally I take it as Sleep is androgynous, genderless deity who changes appearance based on who is perceiving them. But most fans agree Sleep is female. Really brilliant of Vessel to leave it vague, in my opinion. Is it a gimmick? Yeah, obviously. Is it a *good* gimmick? Absolutely.
Please, please react to Atlantic!
Hello. Can you react to the new jimin's bts song Who?? Thank you 💜
