This song sounds like it’s about someone he loved attempting suicide. The lyrics “You woke me up one night, dripping crimson on the carpet. I saw it in your eyes, cutting deeper than the scars could run.” This seems like it might have an even sadder back story than we may think!
So I did sleuthing back in the day and yes all three cds are connected by him loving a women who just didn't give back the way he needed "toxic maybe?" This cd has words that hint at his true identity ie laying beneath the canopy.... other songs dropping hints to
@brandonfuller754 Fellow fan, be easy on the hints to their identity. I'm sure plenty of people know, but good fans don't tell. Part of the journey is not knowing
@Nick Fender reason I was being vague. . I understand.. when I got deeper I started dreaming and I do believe vessel is at his end game but if what my feeling and dreams are prophetic I'm not sure anything will be after.. Ascensionism basicly says his redemption is Ascension... hes telling everyone his message is told now he can sleep
I think most of the songs are directed from Vessel to Sleep, but this one feels like is Sleep who is singing to Vessel, almost like in DYWTYLM, but this time is much more... I dunno, just not feel like he talking to himself
@@ernestorodriguez5117 I think the inspiration for the lyrics are mostly based on real experiences, but using Sleep as a stand in or metaphor allows listeners to attach their own experiences and meaning to the words. I may be completely off the mark, but that's how I've enjoyed their music.
I think I've listened to the song about 20 times since it dropped yesterday, and I've cried every single time. And I don't cry easily. I think I relate to this song on such a deep level because of my teenage daughter and her struggles with depression and self-harm. When he says "I want to help you but I don't know how" and "please don't hurt yourself again" I just start pouring tears like a fucking baby. Also, I would call Vessel's performance on this track the breakout vocal performance of the year. What an impactful and heavy song. Just wow.
Oh, and Pearl Token
Same, this song hits me so hard.
Same, man. Only someone who has really experienced a loved one struggle could write and perform a song like this.
This really makes you wanna check uo on your lover/ loved one(s). It really fits for this month, mental health awareness month
Or a mirror if you’re lonely
I think this song was made based on Vessel's response to a fan saying he saved them. He said he doesn't think he is capable of saving anyone. But I think this is his way of reaching out to those whom are struggling.
I genuinely feel bad for people that don't like Sleep Token. They're such a special band and I can't imagine not having their music in my life now.
I get strong Alter Bridge vibes from this track. I can hear Myles Kennedy singing this.
I was thinking the same!
The drop in "Ascensionism" at around 3:55 is also very Alter Bridge-esque
i instantly felt mark tremonti on the first listen, good call
That’s exactly what I thought!
Now that you mention it, gives me a Blackbird vibe with the emotional weight
So funny thing, I get creed vibes. I instantly thought of their song "Lullaby" off of their Weathered album.
i think the line “are you really okay?” is so strong because of the word “really”. anyone can say “are you okay?”, and you can just say yeah, sure, but if you say “are you REALLY okay?”, sounds like you care much more and you’re genuinely wondering if they are, and it makes the question pierce you so much more.
It’s crazy to think that Vessel probably reads all these comments, watches the videos and sits jacks and enjoys everyone’s reactions to his music but he still remains anonymous. It’s so respectable and ominous and I hope one day I am lucky enough to meet the man and thank him for the hours and hours of entertainment he has brought into my life
Worship.
The thing about Vessel is, you may have already met/know him. That's part of the beauty in his anonymity, he is everywhere and nowhere all the time ❤
This song made me bawl my eyes out and it still does. I got the first tattoo over my scars when they released the first few tracks of this album and just recently I did something stupid again and it nearly went really wrong, although I didn't intended for it to.
When I was walking home after a neurology appointment and heard Ascensionism (my best friend sent me it and I literally put it on the second I got my results and walked out), I was walking through the middle of the city. I felt disconnected fron everything and everyone. I had grabbed the Sleep Token shirt I got at their concert in Jannuary after a sleepless night and wasn't even aware that it was the day they would release the album at that time.
Thing is I had been in and out of hospitals for nearly ten years before that. Managed to turn my life around for about two years now. And I had always felt that something was wrong with me, but not in the way doctors had said. This one appointment finally gave me the real explaination and it was a happy and sad thing all at once because had I known earlier, things might have been so different.
They say it's all in your head and yeah...it is. Quite literally.
Now I'm just trying to make the best of it and appreciate all the positive things I have in my life now, but it's still hard and after that relapse I felt like a complete failure and I still somehow do.
I'm glad I waited until I got home to listen to this song and the others, otherwise I'd likely would have completely bawled my eyes out in public. I did at home and I still don't feel okay, but I'm hoping to get there again.
It finally made me feel understood. I hope I get to thank Vessel and Sleep Token one day.
Also: Pearl Token🖤🤟🏻❤️
So glad you’re still here Mina. I love to see sleep token helping people ❤
@@ahsokatano4908 @@ahsokatano4908 Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I'm actually glad too and I've found that listening and creating music and art in general help so much. Not only myself, but others as well and it's like an universal language. I'm eternally grateful for Sleep Token and a lot of other awesome bands/artists.
I still remember the lyrics to a song I heard when I was 15 and that was 13 years ago..."You see the trick is to never act on it, no matter how unbearable the misery gets."
It's like Sleep Token and special artists like them word thoughts and feelings when you can't find the right words yourself and feeling understood is key.
Hope you're safe and well and have a beautiful day! We truly are a collective and it's a beautiful thing to see how supportive at that. ❤️😊
SO happy you are still here and that your light is still a part of this world. You are needed, you are loved. You are cherished. Keep fighting the good fight ❤
@@Metalstrike365 Thank you so much for your kind words, I truly cherish them. ❤️ I'll always keep fighting, kinda innately too stubborn to quit anyways xD and I know from experience that it always can and usually does get better. Especially after Sleep Token announced yesterday that they're gonna play a show in my exact city...No way I'm gonna miss that 😁🤟🏻 Thank you again and stay safe my friend!!!
Stay 💪
I literally had to hold back tears when I heard this today. It caught me so off guard.
The Pearl Jam/Blind Melon influence is strong.
I don’t cry much. I wish I cried more, if I’m honest. I’ve had a pretty rough year so far, and I’ve done a few stupid things to myself in the process. for the first time in months, something hit me, got me thinking, and eventually had me tearing up. what an absolute beauty of a track, gawd DAMN.
This and DYWTYLM really hit deep espacially the "My Reflection just wont smile back at me like i know it should" and the "Are you really Okay? line just idk its simple but its question you yourself ask and cant really anwer and when some Band comes around and Sings these Question that you just sit there and sob.
These guys have an amazing way of expressing deep and complex emotions in words.
I’m not ashamed to admit this but I teared up hearing this song
Also Pearl Token
Dawg I cried to this, ascensionism, and euclid lmao
@@nix9355 yeah Vessel’s voice could make a grown man cry
The way he says it does get to the core. Unreal ability.
Pearl token!!! Was there the whole stream my dude!!!!! Great stuff!!! 🖤🖤
First it was The Summoning. Wore that song out. Then Chokehold, then Granite, then Vore! Then Aqua Regia. But this song. I can't get over it. This album is shaping up to be an absolute, all-time greatest I've ever heard. I love to hear a band hit their stride like this. It doesn't happen often. These songs are so good.
I know I’m 3 months late but I’m doing that now. First it was EuclidX then The Summoning, and I’m on this one now.
Can we all acknowledge 2, 3 and 4's contribution to this offering? They crushed this album. 2 f*cking smashing drums on every track!
I in no way mean to diminish their importance to ST, but there is no contribution from them in the music other than II performing the drums. Other than that it's all Vessel, all of it. It's just absurd how ridiculously talented the man is.
3 and 4 do not contribute to the albums, it even says so on all the tracks their production/vocals/drums/guitar/keyboard etc. is all Vessel1 and Vessel2.
3 and 4 are purely the live show aspect of ST
@@Gooobae really?? How did you find that out?
Check the description of any of the new songs from the new album, at the bottom it tells you who and what they contributed to the song, and it’s only Vessel1, Vessel2 and Carl Brown
This song is amazing.. I was waiting for this.
I found it so incredibly beautiful when he was singing "please don't hurt yourself again" to himself. A reference to Atlantic.
Amazing. Just amazing.
For anyone else with a history of self harm or attempted suicide. I see you. I love you. You are worth it.🫂❤️
I love how music can resonate so deeply with people and bring them together over a common feeling of hurt and struggle. We're all just out here doing our best. Worship 🤘
Had a friend pass earlier in the year and I wish I could have had the opportunity to show her this song…. ❤❤ damn…
For me it feels like Collective Soul and Type O Negative had a baby, and it was this song.
Pearl Token! Now thats a cover band I would like to hear. This track made me feel something I have never felt in a while.. Thank you Sleep Token 🙏🏻
Beautifully written song! Totally different energy from TMBTE!
Can't wait to see the rest of your Pearl Token reactions Birb!
I have to admit that I was cooking while I was hearing the song, and the first listen it seemed to me to be very interesting track, the second listen I pay attention to the drums and a bit to the musically, but I decided to hear it one more time and when I pay attention to the lyrics and the musically, I realized how emotional this track was and could not resisted to cry (and it is hard to me to cry). This song is a masterpiece and for sure is a 10/10, the only 1o in the album.
I love this song for different reasons than the rest of the LP. Personally hit me hard in the heart. This whole album is a masterpiece. Please don't hurt yourself again hits right in the feels. 💖✌️🎵
From the first 5 seconds I knew that “I’m doing great right now!” would turn into “I’m not doing fine I’m sobbing”
I'm getting some pearl jam, Alice in chains, soundgarden stone temple... This is absolutely amazing.
yeah I thought PJ immediately
@@MadailinBurnhope Was about to write this. So true, I´m getting Creed and STP somehow. But this is fantastic!!!
Definitely a grunge/90s alt feel to it
This one has "I Stay Away" by AIC vibes, and I love it. So classic.
This is their best lyrically written song
Pearl token. Probably my favorite tied with take me back to Eden and Euclid😅.Guitar reminds me of blind melon with a mix of somber melancholy feels
I thought of blind melon too and some smashing pumpkins
This song made me cry. The song made me feel so guilty for breaking a promise I made to someone. I went and apologized while I ugly cried. This song is just so hard hitting.
Did you see that Chris Daughtry covered Chokehold live? If you haven't, you should check it out.
It’s great, needs to record it!
PEARL TOKEN 🖤 You have me crying at work again, well not you, this song 😢🖤
For whatever reason, this song gives me HUGE alter bridge vibes. Songs like watch over you and wonderful life come to mind when I'm listeneing to this one
This is so beautiful but I sob everytime I hear it. I've been through some stuff and I tend to shove down the emotions and just keep going. When he says, "Are you really ok?" I lose it. I'm trying to be ok. 😭
If I had to give this track a grade I would give it a 9/10. It just fits so well in the context of the tracks around it and Vessel Vedder's Pearl Token vocals were on point.
I think this is my favorite on the album to be honest. It just cuts too deep. It hits me personally. Its just so touching and realistic. Even my dad thinks its his favorite. Its like a 70s sad song. Its honestly about to be replayed for days and days. And his vocals.... just does extra damage. Hes already emotion evoking. But with the melody, the lyrics, and his tone. It makes me look at all my scars from my depression. And feel like, yeah ive gotten better, but AM I REALLY OKAY?
Pearl Token
And I’m a Gen X’er- it was sounding mor Led Zeppelin-ish to me.
I was thinking more like Peter Steele/Type-O Negative with a hint of Rick Astley. I can't explain it, it just works
@@elbeetlebeasto Possibly…I think the guitar at the beginning sounds like “Thank You” by Led Zeppelin. Vessel’s voice resembles Rick slightly because they both have that low tone in their voice.
Into gave me huge classic 70s rock vibes. Acoustic Led Zep feels. Only Vessel can make the word Okay so emotional! When the band kicks in around 3:50...that was more than okay!
The beginning chords of this song reminds of Thank You by Led Zeppelin. I too, cry every damn time I hear this song; but I can't stop listening!! It pains me to know how many people are affected by this song; however, I hope every single one of us can come one step closer to healing. Thank you Vessel; nothing but praise.
The lyrics hit hard.. enough to share a tear..
Pearl Token is surprisingly my favorite track on this album
The main riff has HUGE James Taylor vibes. It works so perfectly with this song.
The last (and only) song that really made me cry was "Constance" from Spiritbox. And this song here, man... oof... it's making me tear up at least as much as "Constance".
Damn it you just had to remind me of constance 😭
I hate you as well for the reminder of Constance 😅
Re: "classic rock feel" + the melody at the beginning - Try singing the start of Collective Soul's "Shine" before Vessel comes in, it works hilariously well
Pearl Token. This song legit had me in tears!
I hope you reach 100,000 my dude!! You deserve it brother man.
Thank you homie 🙏🏼
So Glad i scrolled onto you're reaction video! My new fav band 🔥
Got that lil Zeppelin Thank You intro tease!!
This song emotionally devastated me.
If you know and love a beautiful human being who suffers from depression, this song hits incredibly hard
I'm 11 months late, but as someome who lost family to suicide, this digs deep as shit. Glad you like the song!
Pearl token! Loved being able to join your stream and I’ll still watch the videos
This song speaks to me and is the hardest to listen to due to the lyrics. Definitely brought back memories and tears. Feels like an elevated Missing Limbs... also Pearl Token.
Yeah, this song hits hard. It's simple and impactful without being fancy.
It really reminds me of Jeff Buckley, specially the melody, so remniscent of "Grace"! Pearl Token!!
The intro/main riff of this song gives me The Smashing Pumpkins Today or Mayonaise vibes
Pearl Token!! I adore this song... and i love your reactions to them. this song is so peaceful and gorgeous
Pearl Token. I love the guitar in this one.
Fuck, this song is way to relatable. It’s comforting to listen to though, i imagine its vessel talking to me, telling me these things cus it helps me
This song was a bit of a grower for me bc I think Ascensionism just blew my mind completely on the first listen 🤣
Pearl Token!!
Pearl Token 🖤
Always a pleasure watching your reaction videos man! You articulate perfectly what I am thinking in my head while listening to these songs. Much love and respect to you my guy! 👊
Pearl Token! I have a goat named Pearl so, that was weird to type! 🤣
You’re gonna love Euclid
Me listening to the worship band at church camp in 2008
pearl token fucking loved this album stayed up the otherday to hear it when it dropped and have had it on nonstop since. ant wait to see these guys when they tour soon. WORSHIP!!!!
The song "Can make anyone cry" - - > Birb puts a laughing preview image of himself in the thumbnail. Gotta love that humor!
I cry every time I listen to this song
Had a lot Zeppelins "Thank You" melody to it
This song fucked me up in the middle of a grocery store. As someone whos a havitual liar when it comes to saying "im fine" this was... Hard. Amazing song.
I love this song so much, such a beautifull song that I can't stop listening to it
I saw it in your eyes cutting deeper than the scars run.
This song made me cry so hard when I heard it
If suicide, in ANY way, has been a part of your life. This fucking hits.
I cried like I haven't cried in years. Truth.
worship
Pearl Token.
Subscribed. :)
The opening of the song had me thinking a greta van fleet song came on my phone so I checked and was like oh.... Interesting. Another gorgeous song from sleep token and yes the drums were great because this drummer knows when to let loose and when to hold back and fits the song perfect. Pearl token
I’m GOING to be okay
I love how they don't just write love songs about another, but love songs to oneself. DYWTYLM probably hit me the hardest in that regard.
The opening is the same as the opening from Led Zeppelin’s song ‘Thank You’
Thankfully, I've never gone through anything like this song describes however, my neighbor's son just died. He was an addict..............through THIS SONG, I can finally understand EXACTLY what this woman was going through, OMFG! When I saw her about three weeks ago she gave me the news and I just hugged her. I did feel a deep hurt, but still couldn't fathom her pain. Closing my eyes while listening to this song and picturing this dude, he was only 35, I felt her pain. Truly felt her pain. Wow! Love your channel; Love your feedback. A huge WORSHIP, from NYC.
My favorite track on the album.
NGL, the intro to this song makes me think of "Shine" by Collective Soul for some strange reason.
Yeah.
The guitar reminds me of Zeppelin “Thank You”
my first thought
The more I listen to this song the more. It seems like its yrically written from the point of view of the deity which is pretty cool.
I sent this song to my 15 yr old son because he's helped save several lives & he's such a good kid.😫 I am NOT ok...
I need any reaction, sleep token deserves this attention
This one is really personal to me. It’s honestly my favorite off of the record. Ofc, you have all of the great ones on there, Chokehold, The Summoning, Granite, Take Me Back To Eden, Rain, but this one just…….gah…it hits me man.
Pearl Token 😏
this song makes me cry every time 😩
Massive Breaking Benjamin vibes from this track, especially compared to some of BB's softer stuff. Really beautiful
Whenever Vessel says "I want to help you but I don't know how", it hurts me on every level. I wish i could help the people who are going through these thoughts, but at the same time i cant, as im going through the same process, and it hurts to see that i cant provide any sort of healing to them. Songs heavy as fuck and its only heavier when you get to that point of thinking
PEARL TOKEEEEN, this song was good, but Rain and Ascensionism and also the title track are top tier. I also cried during the ending of Euclid.
“Don’t cry challenge lvl impossible” 💀
Pearl Token! This one grows on me gonna be perfectly honest.
We need more feelsgood stuff like this in metal. Another song that gives me a sense of "everything's gonna be okay..." is Dying Star by Periphery.
Why this is a feel good song to you? To me it's the absolute opposite since the lyrics are talking about feelings as helplessness down to point where you cannot do anything for somebody anymore but begging them for not hurting themself anymore. So... I would be really glad to have a different more positive perspective on this!
All i can say is that i'm not. I'm not, at all. I have lived this, it's painful. I can't
Yeah, totally reminds me of some grunge or post-grunge ballad
subbed. Hope you reach 100k soon.
This song is about someone you love being suicidal. I can never listen to it without feeling real pain.
Guitar sounds similar to Led Zeppelin’s Thank You from their second album
