"Bread, so that this house may never know hunger; Salt, so that life may always have flavor; and wine, so that joy and prosperity may reign forever.” -It's a Wonderful Life
Sleeping at Last always makes me cry No matter the song or meaning It’s the most profound of poetry and stirs my soul with every song This makes me love our fixer upper even more
Same!! Although I found the song "Saturn" though another channel called "Sonadow Fazbear" And I also fell in love as well. That day I just had to find out what band it was, and all the songs are just beautiful. They have such deep meaning. And their pictures as well.
This song makes me think of a man and a woman who have just bought their first little house in the woods, after they got married a few months ago, and the woman finds out she is pregnant with her first child. They are too happy to express themselves with any words, so, when sitting by the crackling fire, the man writes this song while he slowly sees his wife's belly grow. And when the child is in her arms, it becomes a lullaby, which will be passed on to every generation of the family that will live in the wooden forest house.
Hannah Urquhart I also just realized that it could be sung at a high schools' year opening, if you know what I mean ;) asdfghjkl sal gives me tha feeeeeels
This was our wedding song. I haven’t listened to it in a while. There’s so much depth and feeling to this song and revives the love I have for my husband and now our little boy. ❤️
My dad passed away last year. This so reminds me of when I was a kid.... He wasnt perfect by any means, but he was an amazing person. I never got to say how much I love him... Yet I miss him everyday. God bless you dad. 💌
I grew up in the woods of northern Maine. Where the towns turn to numbers marked as unorganized territories and the people are few and far between but when you pass them on the dirt roads they’ll pull over for a conversation. Where the morning traffic was moose, deer and Amish buggies and the nights were the darkest I had ever known. The stars were so visible and the sky seemed so big. The houses were old no one really had anything new but we got by just fine. Life was tedious but it was rewarding and I thought when I turned 18 and graduated high school I wanted more. So I went off to college down south, close to Boston. I had never been so lost and confused as I was in college. People didn’t want to talk, they could hardly look up from their phones. The streets were always crowded, dogs were always leashed and the stars seemed dimmer where the night sky seemed almost orange. So I got what I could and headed back up home. And I think that’s where I’ll stay.
last night my friend sent me this artist, i decided to listen to a playlist of their songs. i stumbled across this one, and i fell in love. then i noticed the title was north. north is my name. ive always thought that it was silly and felt embarrassed whenever someone brought it up, because who names their child north, you know? that’s why i go by my second name. but after hearing this, my chest feels warm, and i think that im lucky to share the same name as this wonderful song. (my brother’s name is south, hehe. i know there’s a song with the same name as well, so im gonna go listen to it now)
I love your name so much and you should really go by it... I imagine the amount love your parents must have for you to name you their north... Their sense of direction in life.. The infinite love they must have for you to consider you their sense of direction in this aimless life we all lead... Please do not be ashamed by it anymore and reconsider using your first name again ❤❤
This song makes me wanna build a small cabin near a lake in the middle of nowhere....cuddle on a small weathered couch with my soulmate and son listening to the storm outside as we fall asleep after a warm meal and a lovely story.
Frosty ---- Struth Frosty, ease the fk up. Give life just one more year, or even one more day. You / we WILL be gliding and soring soon enough, take whatever joy you can find and enjoy those admittedly fleeting moments as and when they happen. Read Johnathon Livingston Seagull, a short book by Richard Bach, it helped me put things in perspective. Life is still 'a bitch then you die', but the little moments of joy make it all worth it.
Moving in with my fiancé this Friday into our first apartment. we've been long distance until now. This warms my heart as much as moving. Feels like I was meant to listen to this.
This is the first song I sang on stage.This song had a really big impact on me and my choir,I sing with.Without this song I wouldn’t be the singer I am today.This song gave me the courage and strength to sing the national anthem at a mariners game.I thank you for making this video with this song.Now I can know that this song is in other peoples hearts. Thank you. Sincerely,the St.Patrick School Choir.And Grace Evans
I love the meaning behind this song. It truly captures the magic of moving into your first home, of new hope beginning. But more than that, I imagine a couple newly married, and making their vows to honor their marriage for the rest of their lives. Admitting that it will be a struggle, but it is well worth it in the end. That we may make mistakes, but everyday we repaint, and starter and grow.
I go to a summer camp every year that is SOO near and dear to my heart, I've been going there since I was little and I can't even describe the feeling of warmth that radiates through me when I'm there. everyone is so incredibly loving and basically with all of the hardships that I face, going there and seeing those people is my only escape. It's a tiny place in the mountains that is nothing like normal camps that people usually go to, it's very old and rustic but I love it. There's signatures all over the ceiling of the old dining hall from people that went there in the 60s. As I get closer to graduating, reality sinks in that I'll only have a couple years until I can't be a camper any longer. I feel like this song is MADE for this camp, especially the "we call this fixer-upper home" line. Whenever I miss camp I listen to this song and it helps ❤️
I bought a room to live with my room mate when we both come to study at our university. We're both very, very far away from home, a stranger to this place, but somehow, we found a new home here. We have fun, we laugh and cried. countless times i've opened this door, come in, place my bag, place my equipment, walk to the bathroom to wash my feet, then finally walk to the bed where i made it my working space, then sit down with her. Amazing such a small space, only around 5x6 m., can holds so many memories. We'll move out next year. I'll never forget this place. The years we're here have been kind.
This song helps me see what life is all about. I have a hard time remembering that during the dark winter, everything seems so pointless. But then I listen to this and feel all those warm feelings, and think about the future I have with my partner. It's worth it.
Im singing this song in choir, at first I thought "ugh this is just another weird choir song" but then I searched it up and listened to it on repeat. The words are practically implanted in my brain. I love this underrated band. Sleeping at last with always have a spot in my heart. No matter what.
maybe it sounds silly, but as a csa survivor, it get harder and harder to get older, to open up, to trust. to feel safe at night in bed. this song means a lot to me
Beautiful song, my wife and I are about to move into our first home and this song fits perfectly into our vision of what this new home will be for us. A "Fixer upper" and a place to raise our young and growing family.
I've come back to this song so many times over the years, at different points in my life. It has taken me through a different country, through my first real encounter with grief, through loss and gain, and so many goodbyes. It still feels as bittersweet as the first time. A ballad to settling, no matter how much you've lost. To the peace of staying in one place with someone you love, even knowing that forever doesn't exist. You settle and let the dust fall around you, and you know that you will leave this place behind, too, someday. But the years you are there will be kind and full with wine, and bread, and salt. And the lines that measure your growth will be with you even when you go. To all the homes we've had and lost, and to the ones that we have yet to have. This song is for them.
Looking back at my college years, this song fits so well. The opportunities, the adventure, the hardships, the laughs. It was all so beautiful. That last drink I had with my roommates before we all moved out the next day was the most bittersweet, marking an end to our 4 years together.
I believe it’s a metaphor for our lives… and a love song to the self. We each build a home inside ourselves full of experiences and memories, good and bad. Time chips away at us and sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. We “repaint, and repaint, and repaint, everyday.” I love how he chose to say, “Let our hearts, like doors, open wide…” instead of the opposite. If it were about a house, he might have chosen to say, “Let our doors, like our hearts, open wide, open wide.” The end of the song leaves me in tears every time. We are each given this one life and body to grow in, the “dirt where our roots may grow”. We often look everywhere but inside for love and joy. It is our right to call ourselves home. Listen to it and think of it as an ode to your life. It will blow you away all over again.
I swear all of his music is so peaceful and calming, you can't be in a bad mood while listening to them. They are a gift. A precious gift that we shall treasure forever.
I first heard this song in one of the lyrical numbers at my dance school, and I instantly fell in love. I was full out crying, Because this song is so relatable... And I just want to say; Thank you for uploading this beautiful song
This song, I guess I was feeling lonely because lately it's been difficult to reach out and hangout to people I am close to from over online. And, they're like my home. Without them, I don't find much meaning in the places we used to hangout in. Those places are nothing without them. All I want is to be with them and hangout with them, discuss things with them. We have this plan to live all together one day, it would be a dream come true. Thank you for uploading this. I just found this song and have been hitting replay over and over again, thank you so much.
Sometimes I feel like my world is falling apart. I'm 15 and going through a lot of pain right now and this helps me deal with that. It's amazing what a 4 min song can do.
This is my prayer, that one day, every Soul will know this safety, this peace. That one day we will repaint and repaint in Joy. ‘May the years we’re here, be kind, be kind as we learn to be so to ourselves. The exquisite richness and depth of your music coupled with the heart of your words is such a Grace to find❣️. I share your gifts of music all over the place, and invariably, ❤️’s are touched, Soul’s fed. ✨🙏🏻✨ Deepest Gratitude.
What a joy to be one of the few individuals who got to listened to this beautiful song. Funny, but this song is making me hope for something i dont know, for something my heart longs...
Everyone says this song makes them happy. This song reminds me of what could of been and someone remembering a passed loved one and trying to move on. Always makes me cry, great song
How can he do that? How can every single one of his songs be so beautiful, true and sad at the same time? I really love all his songs and I think he has to be known more than he actually is...
2:23-2:38 is my favorite part. Idk why. When he sings "to repaint and repaint" i feel like I'm filled with bittersweet hope that everything will be ok and things can go back to how they were. Just a clean new slide. And you repaint. Idk i really love that lyric
This lyric video is AMAZING! Im hitting replay 24/7, it really made my day, especially the turquoise backround with the man in the boat!!! Great job keep doing watcha do!
This song sings of our family. We struggled yet we were so strong. It was all about what our family felt and not the materialistic part of it. We raised four beautiful children, now older married and in relationships and so they now know what we went through. We are so proud of all four of them.
this just reminds me of SPN and how Sam, Dean, and Cas see the bunker as their home now. And how they're all turning into a small family of their own, becoming the legacies they are.
I see most people think about people in their houses, etc. I personally think of my old school, and the people I spent so much time with. I grew up in there and with them, and even tho most of them ended up being toxic, and the friends I've loved the most had to leave because life made it that way, the memories I cherish the most are because of school, which ended up being like a second home.
Sleeping at Last's music is my happy place.... I'm going thru a really hard breakup with a boy that I was with for more than 2 years.... And this music makes me calm and realize that everything will be okay
Thanks mom for making a home for me. If you’ve seen this song then something’s happened to me and I’m sorry life sucks and took me too soon. I love you so much and I want you to smile and stay strong. I love you to the moon or maybe mars and back. Thanks for looking after me for so long. See you soon mom.
I want to specify this is not a suicide note, I’ve prepared letters for my loved ones in case of an accident. I’ve listed songs for each of them and my love for them written out. Hoping to ease the pain a little in case something happens.
I feel Its about going through life... Keeping faith, and love, in an everchanging world. We will grow into our higher selves, with the memories, and accomplishments, made. This is only a temporary home... Let us make the most of it.
........, Well they did it again. I don't know how, but they did. Every song I listen to from Sleeping At Last just brings me to tears. How?! I need to know! They just hit my tear button every time.
I don't like thinking about it but sometimes when I'm alone with my thoughts, I am always reminded that someday I have to walk this Earth without my mother and father in it. And it slashes my heart deep. There's no one in this world that I treasure more than them.
This was the song of the man I thought I'd marry and I.. but even if our separation gave me so much pain, it's time to reclaim this wonderful song as one I want to listen to. Maybe the future will give it a similar meaning as it used to have for me, again. I - or maybe we - will see.
We will call this place our home The dirt in which our roots may grow Though the storms will push and pull We will call this place our home We’ll tell our stories on these walls Every year, measure how tall And just like a work of art We’ll tell our stories on these walls Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide Open wide Settle our bones like wood over time Over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine A little broken, a little new We are the impact and the glue Capable of more than we know We call this fixer upper home With each year, our color fades Slowly, our paint chips away But we will find the strength And the nerve it takes To repaint and repaint and repaint every day Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide Open wide Settle our bones like wood over time Over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide Open wide Settle our bones like wood over time Over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Smaller than dust on this map Lies the greatest thing we have: The dirt in which our roots may grow And the right to call it home
Listen, Sleeping at Last's songs are truly magnificent and fascinating, but the most amazing fact is, their songs have this 'Dreamy vibe' and I'll be thankful for that. Sleeping at Last is a band, and from their namd, you'll noticd what "they" actually means or their goal. Most of us will know, that we all have are worst moments in real life, being tired at work or for everything that happens everyday and when we get home, we all just want to have rest, lay in our bed and sleep. But still, we wonder, what is the true meaning of life, the true meaning of living, and as we have thoughts about it, we will fall asleep, down into the oblivion of our own thoughts- we will have our happy and glorious days in our dream, the things we wanted to expirience rather than having our normal and everyday lives. This band, is an instrument for us to be 'dreamy' and expirience things in our mind, in our own and desired way. I might be speaking and over reacting now, but admit it, I might have a point. So thank this band for making you feel whatever you wanted to be, they deserve it.
This song makes me reminisce something from long ago, like my childhood, like the Christmas dinners, like even my elementary school. But at the same time it's bringing me back to something that I can't even pin point, like something that never happened, or something that happened in my past life. It's so incredible. It's bitter sweet to me though.
When im listening to this song i can see broken family, devastated mother with 2 young children who use to smile a lot now facing uncertain futhure with shelter on the way, sad evenings in place they can't call home......i would give everything for that story not to be true but suddenly it is story of our life.....please pray for us.......x
I’m 16 and all my life I’ve wanted to be alone, I don’t care to get married and I definitely don’t want kids and I am always sure of that...until I hear this song. This song seriously makes me question how I want my life to turn out and makes be feel lonely with the future I thought I wanted. Anyone else?
my choir is singing this for out last concert of the school year and we are ending the song with just the seniors singing from “smaller than…” 😢i’m gonna cry but i’m so excited to perform it and as a junior it’s just preparing me for the next year
I moved out of my childhood home around 2 months ago, it sometimes hurts as if I have lost a little piece of me because it was the only place I had ever known. It will always have a special place in my heart and it is crazy how something so simple could have such a profound impact
"Bread, so that this house may never know hunger; Salt, so that life may always have flavor; and wine, so that joy and prosperity may reign forever.” -It's a Wonderful Life
Thank you! I've been trying to find that line in the movie in reference to this song!
Those traditional gift pre-date the movie, though that seems to be where most people know them from
Exactly what I’ve always thought about listening to this song!
❤
I always knew there was meaning behind bread, salt, and wine. Never connected that those were the meanings behind them.
I'd give anything to sit and have a conversation with this man....his mind is otherworldly....
Kate Edwards parts of my choir got to sing “nine” with him last year. they honestly can’t talk about these songs without our seniors crying.
@@user-ww5hm8lu1w I wouldn't be able to either. That sounds like a wonderful experience!
i had the opportunity to sing this very song with him as part of a choir experience. This made me cry.
You can listen to his podcast on ITUNES in which he explains the meaning behind his songs
this is the safest song i've heard.
That's such a pleasant way to describe this song
@@ajcruise8321 at my sister dance recital there was a group dance to this song and it was beautiful

Found 'Saturns' in my recommended videos and now I just fell in love with this band. It's a shame I didn't find it years ago
Same!!
Although I found the song "Saturn" though another channel called "Sonadow Fazbear" And I also fell in love as well. That day I just had to find out what band it was, and all the songs are just beautiful. They have such deep meaning. And their pictures as well.
Same here! I come here for the feels
Saturn also was my first Sleeping at last's song :D
It isn't shame, it is lacky that this music came to you :) Maybe it was THAT moment.

Sameee
This song makes me think of a man and a woman who have just bought their first little house in the woods, after they got married a few months ago, and the woman finds out she is pregnant with her first child. They are too happy to express themselves with any words, so, when sitting by the crackling fire, the man writes this song while he slowly sees his wife's belly grow. And when the child is in her arms, it becomes a lullaby, which will be passed on to every generation of the family that will live in the wooden forest house.

Your comment made me cry so hard.
This was our wedding song. I haven’t listened to it in a while. There’s so much depth and feeling to this song and revives the love I have for my husband and now our little boy. ❤️
to repaint, and repaint, and repaint. What an amazing way of saying that one must keep going on, and to not give up.
That's my favorite lyric
Sleeping At Last reassures me that there is indeed a world where we are safe, happy and not at each other's throats. ♥
I totally agree ❤️
😊
it's very small and ignorant but sure
Definitely not in this life tho :)

Congratulations you guys! May that home be blessed and everyone in it..:)

Saturn's my fav I think so far 😙
mine is "as long as you me"
This song helps me see what life is all about. I have a hard time remembering that during the dark winter, everything seems so pointless. But then I listen to this and feel all those warm feelings, and think about the future I have with my partner. It's worth it.

I don't know of a better artist than this one. There is always a song to soothe your senses. Every song is a work of art.
Beautiful song, my wife and I are about to move into our first home and this song fits perfectly into our vision of what this new home will be for us. A "Fixer upper" and a place to raise our young and growing family.
I've come back to this song so many times over the years, at different points in my life. It has taken me through a different country, through my first real encounter with grief, through loss and gain, and so many goodbyes.
It still feels as bittersweet as the first time. A ballad to settling, no matter how much you've lost. To the peace of staying in one place with someone you love, even knowing that forever doesn't exist. You settle and let the dust fall around you, and you know that you will leave this place behind, too, someday. But the years you are there will be kind and full with wine, and bread, and salt. And the lines that measure your growth will be with you even when you go.
To all the homes we've had and lost, and to the ones that we have yet to have. This song is for them.
❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful and true❤
Looking back at my college years, this song fits so well. The opportunities, the adventure, the hardships, the laughs. It was all so beautiful. That last drink I had with my roommates before we all moved out the next day was the most bittersweet, marking an end to our 4 years together.
I believe it’s a metaphor for our lives… and a love song to the self.
We each build a home inside ourselves full of experiences and memories, good and bad.
Time chips away at us and sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. We “repaint, and repaint, and repaint, everyday.”
I love how he chose to say, “Let our hearts, like doors, open wide…” instead of the opposite. If it were about a house, he might have chosen to say, “Let our doors, like our hearts, open wide, open wide.”
The end of the song leaves me in tears every time. We are each given this one life and body to grow in, the “dirt where our roots may grow”.
We often look everywhere but inside for love and joy. It is our right to call ourselves home.
Listen to it and think of it as an ode to your life. It will blow you away all over again.
thanks for rating and viewing this video i really appreciate it God bless you :)

I didn't rate the video, will I go to hell? ;_;
Yes. Yes He has :)
God bless you. :)
The beautiful strange sensations this creates. Sleeping at last, the hell is that kind of magic you have?
I swear all of his music is so peaceful and calming, you can't be in a bad mood while listening to them. They are a gift. A precious gift that we shall treasure forever.
I first heard this song in one of the lyrical numbers at my dance school, and I instantly fell in love.
I was full out crying,
Because this song is so relatable...
And I just want to say;
Thank you for uploading this beautiful song
*wwaves from both of your fandoms*
This song, I guess I was feeling lonely because lately it's been difficult to reach out and hangout to people I am close to from over online. And, they're like my home. Without them, I don't find much meaning in the places we used to hangout in. Those places are nothing without them. All I want is to be with them and hangout with them, discuss things with them. We have this plan to live all together one day, it would be a dream come true.
Thank you for uploading this. I just found this song and have been hitting replay over and over again, thank you so much.
This song makes me think of how through our troubled lives light still exists and kindness overcomes evil.
this became my favourite song of all the time. it makes me feel better about the world and myself.
Why is this song not more popular?
JazzberryProductions people prefer crappy ass pop songs that all sound the same and the lyrics mean nothing
For example Despacito or Slow Hands
And imagine that I just discovered it thanks to RUclips suggestions!
Sometimes I feel like my world is falling apart. I'm 15 and going through a lot of pain right now and this helps me deal with that. It's amazing what a 4 min song can do.
Damn you’re 20 now
this is such a beautiful song. Beautiful music, beautiful message!
This is my prayer, that one day, every Soul will know this safety, this peace. That one day we will repaint and repaint in Joy. ‘May the years we’re here, be kind, be kind as we learn to be so to ourselves. The exquisite richness and depth of your music coupled with the heart of your words is such a Grace to find❣️. I share your gifts of music all over the place, and invariably, ❤️’s are touched, Soul’s fed. ✨🙏🏻✨ Deepest Gratitude.
I love this song ~ as an oil painter, it speaks to me in a way that I can't fully describe. Thank you.
What a joy to be one of the few individuals who got to listened to this beautiful song. Funny, but this song is making me hope for something i dont know, for something my heart longs...
Everyone says this song makes them happy. This song reminds me of what could of been and someone remembering a passed loved one and trying to move on. Always makes me cry, great song
How this guy can put feelings into words and beautiful sounds... amazing...
I Swear I can't listen to one song without the tears flowing. The song writer is truly exceptionally gifted.
This is an amazing song. The words just seem to go deep into your heart and bring out the best. Thanks for posting.
I just wanna say this song has helped me out alot . Thankyou
How can he do that? How can every single one of his songs be so beautiful, true and sad at the same time? I really love all his songs and I think he has to be known more than he actually is...
Everytime I hear sleeping at last I feel like I'm floating in space
"Tell them the north remembers and winter came for you.."
I shit my pants
So I wasnt the only one then.
I want this to be my future wedding song ;-;
K̵u̷d̵o̴s̷ honestly same. I keep seeing myself and my future forever partner dancing to it in a silent room.
Funny...I was hoping this could be one of my funeral songs. I'm literally 17. haha
This was gonna be our first dance. Strange to listen to it now 3 years down the road.
2:23-2:38 is my favorite part. Idk why. When he sings "to repaint and repaint" i feel like I'm filled with bittersweet hope that everything will be ok and things can go back to how they were. Just a clean new slide. And you repaint. Idk i really love that lyric
This lyric video is AMAZING! Im hitting replay 24/7, it really made my day, especially the turquoise backround with the man in the boat!!! Great job keep doing watcha do!
thanks a lot i really appreciate it :D
This mоvieee is nоw availаaableeee tooо wаtсh here => twitter.com/9a54b059234c407e7/status/795841220547203072 Sleерing AAАt Lаst North Lyrics
What a magneting composition. There are very few things that are capable to make our souls soluble with the ultimate. This is one among many
This song sings of our family. We struggled yet we were so strong. It was all about what our family felt and not the materialistic part of it. We raised four beautiful children, now older married and in relationships and so they now know what we went through. We are so proud of all four of them.
this just reminds me of SPN and how Sam, Dean, and Cas see the bunker as their home now. And how they're all turning into a small family of their own, becoming the legacies they are.
I was just thinking of that.
i'm not crying you are
CrazyCandy123 And now Mary's back 😭😭
Supernatural is cheesy and campy, but there are just some moments that make it different. Their brother moments really change the game
And he makes Sam a burger cause he finally has a kitchen of his own and a room he could customize.
I see most people think about people in their houses, etc. I personally think of my old school, and the people I spent so much time with. I grew up in there and with them, and even tho most of them ended up being toxic, and the friends I've loved the most had to leave because life made it that way, the memories I cherish the most are because of school, which ended up being like a second home.
Never really had a close family. But family seems to be his whole life. I want what he has someday ♡
Saturn, North, Life are my favorite songs by far!
the feels man..the FEELS..... 😭😭
Sleeping at Last's music is my happy place.... I'm going thru a really hard breakup with a boy that I was with for more than 2 years.... And this music makes me calm and realize that everything will be okay
Thanks mom for making a home for me. If you’ve seen this song then something’s happened to me and I’m sorry life sucks and took me too soon. I love you so much and I want you to smile and stay strong. I love you to the moon or maybe mars and back. Thanks for looking after me for so long. See you soon mom.
I want to specify this is not a suicide note, I’ve prepared letters for my loved ones in case of an accident. I’ve listed songs for each of them and my love for them written out. Hoping to ease the pain a little in case something happens.
I hope you're fine...
If this meant what I think it did then may your soul forever rest in peace.
❤️
This " home" is the earth and life. Treasure it
This is such a beautiful song and it makes me cry every time I listen to it..
I feel Its about going through life...
Keeping faith, and love, in an everchanging world.
We will grow into our higher selves, with the memories, and accomplishments, made.
This is only a temporary home...
Let us make the most of it.
I have a house. But is a home when you're alone? I long for the feeling of home with someone who wants to stay. This song makes me cry every time.
........, Well they did it again. I don't know how, but they did. Every song I listen to from Sleeping At Last just brings me to tears. How?! I need to know! They just hit my tear button every time.
In this song, you're safe and loved. Here, you're truly the centre of the universe.
Can't put in words the way this song makes me feel. Masterpiece.
I don't like thinking about it but sometimes when I'm alone with my thoughts, I am always reminded that someday I have to walk this Earth without my mother and father in it. And it slashes my heart deep. There's no one in this world that I treasure more than them.
I discovered this artist a few days ago, but this is the first time I've listened to this particular song. It's absolutely beautiful.
This was the song of the man I thought I'd marry and I.. but even if our separation gave me so much pain, it's time to reclaim this wonderful song as one I want to listen to. Maybe the future will give it a similar meaning as it used to have for me, again. I - or maybe we - will see.
I'll be a father in 3 month's time, and this, this song is my rock, this song i from where i will be a loving and caring father and husband.
We will call this place our home
The dirt in which our roots may grow
Though the storms will push and pull
We will call this place our home
We’ll tell our stories on these walls
Every year, measure how tall
And just like a work of art
We’ll tell our stories on these walls
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide
Open wide
Settle our bones like wood over time
Over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
A little broken, a little new
We are the impact and the glue
Capable of more than we know
We call this fixer upper home
With each year, our color fades
Slowly, our paint chips away
But we will find the strength
And the nerve it takes
To repaint and repaint and repaint every day
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide
Open wide
Settle our bones like wood over time
Over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide
Open wide
Settle our bones like wood over time
Over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
Smaller than dust on this map
Lies the greatest thing we have:
The dirt in which our roots may grow
And the right to call it home
A band with only one member,still creates magical music.Makes me believe in life and miracles.
This seems to be about the relationship between Humanity and The Earth. It’s really beautiful; I will definitely sing it as a lullaby one day.
Sleeping at last always make me cry, but this tears of hope and solace.
Listen, Sleeping at Last's songs are truly magnificent and fascinating, but the most amazing fact is, their songs have this 'Dreamy vibe' and I'll be thankful for that. Sleeping at Last is a band, and from their namd, you'll noticd what "they" actually means or their goal. Most of us will know, that we all have are worst moments in real life, being tired at work or for everything that happens everyday and when we get home, we all just want to have rest, lay in our bed and sleep. But still, we wonder, what is the true meaning of life, the true meaning of living, and as we have thoughts about it, we will fall asleep, down into the oblivion of our own thoughts- we will have our happy and glorious days in our dream, the things we wanted to expirience rather than having our normal and everyday lives. This band, is an instrument for us to be 'dreamy' and expirience things in our mind, in our own and desired way. I might be speaking and over reacting now, but admit it, I might have a point. So thank this band for making you feel whatever you wanted to be, they deserve it.
*Hogwarts is my home*
Forever and always ❤️
I'll see you there
Always /*
Sleeping at last songs are almost like a Home to me, safe and cozy🤍💙
Sleeping at last have the best songs to keep me focus while doing homework
This reminds me so much of Klaus 💕
Whenever life stresses me out, I just come here to experience this masterpiece. Helps everytime😊
This song makes me reminisce something from long ago, like my childhood, like the Christmas dinners, like even my elementary school. But at the same time it's bringing me back to something that I can't even pin point, like something that never happened, or something that happened in my past life. It's so incredible. It's bitter sweet to me though.
everytime this cruel unfair life breaks me down I listen to this song to comfort myself...
When im listening to this song i can see broken family, devastated mother with 2 young children who use to smile a lot now facing uncertain futhure with shelter on the way, sad evenings in place they can't call home......i would give everything for that story not to be true but suddenly it is story of our life.....please pray for us.......x
I’m 16 and all my life I’ve wanted to be alone, I don’t care to get married and I definitely don’t want kids and I am always sure of that...until I hear this song. This song seriously makes me question how I want my life to turn out and makes be feel lonely with the future I thought I wanted. Anyone else?
This song brings forth such emotions, so beautiful.
my choir is singing this for out last concert of the school year and we are ending the song with just the seniors singing from “smaller than…” 😢i’m gonna cry but i’m so excited to perform it and as a junior it’s just preparing me for the next year
This song is beautiful! I love this song so much! Thank you “sleeping at last” for this beautiful song!
lol thought about the Starks while listening to this, i've made myself sad.
+McKenna Mae The North Remembers.
Can it be -- both an army and a sleeping at last fan in one??? :D
I've found my people
honestly, an army and sleeping at last fan, im so happy i found them
I'm late but I'm here!
Thank you for this song Sleeping At Last. It evokes beautiful feelings in me.
This sounds like a prayer sometimes. Or be grateful to our Lord for what he has done for us.
I'm thinking about me in the Christmas period, walking to the lonely street of London, in the middle of the night, with some light open.
I moved out of my childhood home around 2 months ago, it sometimes hurts as if I have lost a little piece of me because it was the only place I had ever known. It will always have a special place in my heart and it is crazy how something so simple could have such a profound impact
