I watched this video and listened to this on repeat a LOT when I was on heroin. I've been clean for about a decade, now, and I can finally listen to it again without it feeling strange. Still speaks to me, but for very different reasons. Feels good. Feels free. Thank you.
I really don't understand why this band is so underrated! They are genius, a true masterpiece! I am truly obsessed with this band! There are few things that can compare to this!
Every now and then I get back to this matchless masterpiece. Sometimes it's making me cry. Sometimes it's uplifting. But it's always amazing and still unheard by way to many people!
Living in Alaska and listening to portugal is the only way to live. Lived here 29 years. Always love this band since the days of being local. Congrats guys for making a dream real.
I remember listening to this song while I was in college and thinking to myself... how hasn't a large audience found this band yet? I can only hope that with the huge audience the have now that they come across their old gems like this one.
I definitely found them through Feel It Still, but In The Mountain, In The Cloud is by far my favorite album of theirs. So glad they got the exposure they did so we could experience everything they've had to offer over the years. Still excited for new music though!
My dog passed away about 3 days ago. This video helped so much to almost be a voice for him to speak to me from beyond the grave. Thank you so much for all you put together John.
Unbelievably beautiful at times, downright appalling at other occasions. Life, being this constant flow of conflicting emotions can be quite overwhelming. Its ok to feel like sleeping forever sometimes. Getting rid of the 'void', "the emptiness" can be easier than finding something to fill it. But its also important to remember that by doing so, you would be missing out on a whole spectrum of wonderful things that one can witness by simply enjoying being alive. Finding a purpose for life may seem like such a difficult task that it causes people to overlook one of the simplest answers: To live. To live and enjoy your life so when the time comes for you to "become the light, and finally sleep forever", you "won't be scared, won't defend the things you've done, nor you'll fear him like they do" because you truly enjoyed you ride the best way you could.
Not feeling anything is the same as if we never existed, there's nothing so theres no pain too, but experiencing this life has to have a somewhat like a treasure pack or a key to the next level.
A strange sense of euphoria fills me when I listen to this song... I can't even describe it. It's like I'm wonderfully alone in my own mind and I am the only me.
"We'll forget the city And forget the roads 'Cause we are all rebels Never do what we're told We may not grow money *But man we grow old* Man we grow old"
1million+ views where are all the true fans? This band generates a 1960/70s vibe with new age influences. They produce a feeling that can't be described. Keep supporting buy the music/merch/concert tickets.
I remember listening to this song the night before my first day of high school simply because I didn’t want to wake up and have to go to school, im 21 now and this song means so much more to me now than that, it’s got a different vibe to it than it did when I was 14. Still love this song and come back to it once in a while.
Got It All es quizás mi canción favorita, el álbum me encanta pero la única canción que vi con su video fue la previamente mencionada, hasta hoy que me aventuré a ver una canción que también me encanta y descubrí la hermosa transición de Sleep Forever a Got It All, la emoción que me produjo fue hermosa.
sometimes you just need to shut your eyes close and dream away the worries of the world. To wander in the unconscious mind where everything seems gray and pause in the middle of life... This song is my drug...
Great NW rock, I was blessed growing up in Seattle in the 90s and 00s. Such incredibly good music has been pouring out the entire northwest region for decades. I can't imagine a better place for a music fan to be from. EVERYONE comes through Seattle ;) As for PTM, John hasn't gotten even close to the amount of credit he deserves. What a vocalist.
Been feeling depressed and suicidal for years. Finally came out of it. This song seems to be on both sides but mostly on the other side. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing good
It just hit me how much Sleep Forever means to me. I've played it a million times and I know every single lyric and note. I don't know where I'd be without this song. Thanks L.O.P for making such a powerful song.
wow i haven't listened to them since i was 14.. almost 7 yrs. . theyre so lovely. 💖 i missed them. Im happy more people are starting to find out about them.
UltraSpookySoup True i totally forgot about their first EP. either way, the production value for this album which i still consider early in their career due to it being 2015, and not to mention these guys are definitely going to continue on with creating masterpieces, is amazing, this song and video is just perfect.
I love this video. Great job to everyone involved. And, the music couldn't be sweeter, guys. I have nothing but love for Portugal. The Man. Peace and Love. Mahalo for your Kokua.
Never hear of this song let alone the band. I was at Coachella week 2 last night at sunset. I think it was 7:30. I was walking from one area to another and heard this song in the distance. Wow Amazing song . Was recording when the song was playing.
I know it's kinda cliché the same old saying "this band saved my life" but I think Portugal.The Man did in some sense. And this song will always be one of my favourites
PTM should definitely do a film like Floyd did in the Wall. Perhaps "It's complicated being a wizard" should do it, or some new songs. This short film just makes me want it more. And badly. These guys are legit!
You have got to be kidding me. Portugal. the Man is a band that has been doing it right. They set it up to where they can make their own money without outside influences. You literally have no idea what you are talking about, this band has had a great journey. I love that they are getting richer too, they deserve it more than anyone. Beautiful band, and they are beautiful people.
Shameless is so moving...So incredible...So touching...So unexplainable!! I'm sad every time I have to turn it off, sad to leave "them". I'm in season 5 and don't want it to end! It's also introduced me to such amazing music like this song!
Reading your comment on this music video actually made me watch Shameless. I’ve like PTM for a long time. I’m glad I found shameless too. It’s a Damn good show. What a perfect shit show of a family they are.
Jeff Burdess You should watch making comments like that. Do you have any clue how many people actually grew up that way. Everyone has a story, we don’t all come from money and perfect families....
Love Portugal. The Man, stoked a band like this came from my home state. The cynic Alaskan says: 1. Wear a freaking hat. 2. Never keep one in the chamber.
d4unit they're based in Portland now but John and Zach (the 2 founding/constant members) are from Alaska, as well as a number of the other people who have been in the band.
sleep forever is the best song to bury down a person you love....last year i did it with my mother, and i'm still glad that i did it with that song....i will always love that song...thx

11 years after and still sounds so emotional as the first day.
What a MASTERPIECE
agree
This music is eternal.
Jesus Christ. It's been 11 years I'm getting f****** old
@@Portugal.TheMan The one and only , Portugal. TheMan
@@Portugal.TheManthis song should be as big if not bigger than “Feel It Still”.

Yeah man, me too, proud of you
Wowwwww..... This is SOOOOO POWERFUL!!!!!❤
I did the same but on coke and crack, still doing it sadly...
I watched all 4 seasons of Shameless in a couple of days and now I am at 4.11. This song made me cry so much, man I am in love with this show.
Wow same😢
Portugal, you really are the man
Do ya ever think they named themselves that just so that compliment was preloaded? hahaha either way-well played portugal!
I really don't understand why this band is so underrated! They are genius, a true masterpiece! I am truly obsessed with this band! There are few things that can compare to this!
@@S3bor well of course, I know that. But this seems to have all the elements that would make it more popular.
Damn right man😢
Portugal. The Man is my favourite music band! ❤️🎸🥁🎤🎙️
look at them now tho they’ve well exploded into mainstream media which I never expected them to do
@@solondarville1020portugal the man wasnt even underrated 11yrs ago lmfao. Theyve always been pretty well known imo.
Every now and then I get back to this matchless masterpiece.
Sometimes it's making me cry.
Sometimes it's uplifting.
But it's always amazing and still unheard by way to many people!
I hope you're doing good
Rest In Peace to a brother, a friend, and the one who introduced me to this beautiful music. EJE 1995-2020
Damn
I don't really know why but this song makes me cry every time. wow.
Peter Kaemmerer lolwut
damn didn't realize I was a bundle of sticks
***** if you listen to this song enough you won't burn well.

Just moved after 30 years myself.
This song brings me back.
I'm choking right now.
I remember listening to this song while I was in college and thinking to myself... how hasn't a large audience found this band yet?
I can only hope that with the huge audience the have now that they come across their old gems like this one.
I did. Now I prefer their old songs over their new ones ahah
I definitely found them through Feel It Still, but In The Mountain, In The Cloud is by far my favorite album of theirs. So glad they got the exposure they did so we could experience everything they've had to offer over the years. Still excited for new music though!
Why did the hipster burn his mouth?
Because he ate his pizza before it was even cool!
Saw them at Bonnaroo years ago and they absolutely destroyed. Great times
It’s my first year at college this year and I just found this. Time is crazy isn’t it
FIONA! FIONA NO!
My dog passed away about 3 days ago. This video helped so much to almost be a voice for him to speak to me from beyond the grave. Thank you so much for all you put together John.

Thanks.
+Gabriel Costa thats why I loved how they fused it with Got It All. To give a bit of a push!
Thank you Shameless for bringing me here. Beautiful song!
The cinematography looks absolutely amazing.
This song actually makes me not as afraid of eternity in darkness.
Not feeling anything is the same as if we never existed, there's nothing so theres no pain too, but experiencing this life has to have a somewhat like a treasure pack or a key to the next level.
It's like before you were born. You weren't conscious to the darkness. Whatever our soul does in the wherever, it's anyone's guess.
@@followjesus3891 it's definitely about learning and our soul growing. Or it's just a crazy computer simulation lol. Doubtful it's the latter.
A strange sense of euphoria fills me when I listen to this song... I can't even describe it. It's like I'm wonderfully alone in my own mind and I am the only me.
I get that feeling its why I love music.
What a masterpiece
I can imagine a huge music video contains the entire album 'In the Mountain in the Cloud' 🤯It would be awesome
"We'll forget the city
And forget the roads
'Cause we are all rebels
Never do what we're told
We may not grow money
*But man we grow old*
Man we grow old"
My favourite lines from this song
Sleep Forever is Portugal. The Man's best song by far
11:43 I don't know why but the lights on the mountains feel so haunting.

Gallavich brought me here, this song is amazing!
those shots are so serene. & i like the buildup of landscape shots before you see any people, how nice
Portugal. The Man brought me here, isn't that enough?
Shameless brought me here and thank god for that
this hurt me emotionally when it was in 4.11 of shameless us. cried my fucking eyes out.
Me tooo!

Still love this song and come back to it once in a while.
I came for the name Portugal, I stay forever.
3:59 The sound of violins reminds me of another song but I don’t remember it
Kinda reminds me of the outro of nine in the afternoon by panic at the disco
Technically speaking, the last 3 Portugal. The Man videos I watched eventually brought me here... I was just along for the ride.
Been 7 years since this came out and it remains their best song (or at least my favourite).
This song will be played at my funeral. It is one of their respective 30+ perfect songs.
You guys were MOST EXCELLENT at the Tacoma Dome Bernie rally yesterday! Got a new 71 year old fan!
I want to sleep forever. I'm constantly tired and the feeling of sleep is so peaceful. My emotions are dampened.
Most beautiful song I ever heard, listening to this feels like falling in love. Thank you!
Got It All es quizás mi canción favorita, el álbum me encanta pero la única canción que vi con su video fue la previamente mencionada, hasta hoy que me aventuré a ver una canción que también me encanta y descubrí la hermosa transición de Sleep Forever a Got It All, la emoción que me produjo fue hermosa.
This song is made to be sung loudly while alone
I LOVE IT
Honest, this is in my top 10 of all time. Incredible.
Lived in Alaska all my life, and this is my band.... When fishing on the deska. When chilling anywhere here.
sometimes you just need to shut your eyes close and dream away the worries of the world. To wander in the unconscious mind where everything seems gray and pause in the middle of life... This song is my drug...
I love the little section of chords that kick in around 7:45!

How have I just found out about these guys? Oh man... I have been missing out
Yeah you have. :] Enjoy yourself. :]
I felt the same
And every album is different. In fact they all were in another group "Anatomy of a Ghost" and it was a screamo band.
Animals Mistaken for Monsters now thats something interesting I didnt hear of yet!
That's how I feel now
Been feeling depressed and suicidal for years. Finally came out of it. This song seems to be on both sides but mostly on the other side.
Anyways, I hope everyone is doing good
good to hear you have come out of it. It is a roller coaster for all of us. Stay well
Espero te encuentres bien bro
A song tht can help you relax is TIME by The Impures
Hope you're dealing and doing well
Hell ya man. Keep on.
Like a lot people are saying, this music is extremely refreshing and pisses excellence.
It just hit me how much Sleep Forever means to me. I've played it a million times and I know every single lyric and note. I don't know where I'd be without this song. Thanks L.O.P for making such a powerful song.
Lo mejor de lo mejor, ¡Portugal The Man!
Saludos desde México 🙋
The meaning is simple.
Don't trust anyone who's left you out in the cold
Too late. That's why I'm here.
Wait what

wow i haven't listened to them since i was 14.. almost 7 yrs. . theyre so lovely. 💖 i missed them. Im happy more people are starting to find out about them.
You're dead
Brianna arrigo so you're saying its 2020 for you and your 21
well done Shameless, well done...
Brilliant music, brilliant videos, and John's a brilliant artist. One of my favorite bands.
i wanna sleep forever with this on repeat
I’m listening to every single song of their’s after feel it still
Hell ya, good to hear. They have so many greats. Enjoy.
I can't believe this is one of their earlier songs, its so complex and well recorded.
Not to early. There first album aired around 06, where as in the mountain in the cloud came out
No More than 3 years ago. Either way, songs cool af
UltraSpookySoup True i totally forgot about their first EP. either way, the production value for this album which i still consider early in their career due to it being 2015, and not to mention these guys are definitely going to continue on with creating masterpieces, is amazing, this song and video is just perfect.
This isn't earlier. This was like their 5th or 6th album.....Closer to now than it was to the beginning of their career.
This was their first record on Atlantic Records. Should be well produced
I love this video. Great job to everyone involved. And, the music couldn't be sweeter, guys. I have nothing but love for Portugal. The Man. Peace and Love. Mahalo for your Kokua.
I absolutely love this song, on top of their other songs. I relate deeply to this one specifically. Thank you Portugal. The Man.💜

American, stoic, other-worldly yet 100% familiar. The beauty of what We Are. This specific music and it's creators are unrivaled.
I know it's kinda cliché the same old saying "this band saved my life" but I think Portugal.The Man did in some sense. And this song will always be one of my favourites
The anthem of my life.
Dayum!
It's very rare that a music video is as thought provoking - if not more so - than the actual music. That is what I love about this.
this is very sappy (sad+happy)
yeah definatelly! get the same feeling also
Only sad
This is the best music video ever made. Full stop.
I still get goosebumps from this song.
yes.
Now that it's getting cold again, time to put this on a loop.
I wish my little boy was still alive to enjoy this with me. Miss you everyday kid.
So many of these views are me with my ex that I miss, back when we lived together....memories. Love this though. First time listening to it in years.
OG Portugal. The Man is best Portugal. The Man. I remember being 13 in 2013 and listening to all of this great band's songs. How time flies.
Mind looking up this indie band called The Impures new song Time

+eduardo kowalski indeed
They pretty much pretend ICBAW never happened...
The way they performed this song with "Hey Jude" at the end of their set at Coachella 2013 was .SO. FUCKING. BEAUTIFUL. WITH ALL THOSE STRINGS OMG
Every time I hear this sing it just brings me back to my childhood now that I'm older 10 years have passed. "Then we grow old"
What id give to be 24 again

Been awhile since I’ve seen this. Cried like it was the first time.
Love Portugal. The Man, stoked a band like this came from my home state.
The cynic Alaskan says:
1. Wear a freaking hat.
2. Never keep one in the chamber.
+1 to the +1.
I’m pretty sure they’re from Oregon
More like don't walk around with your finger on the trigger, cause one in the chamber prevents bear rape.
knowing this band, it's probably a metaphor for recklessness leading to suicide while surrounded by danger in a cold wasteland.
Just a theory though.
d4unit they're based in Portland now but John and Zach (the 2 founding/constant members) are from Alaska, as well as a number of the other people who have been in the band.
Perhaps the greatest band that no one's ever heard of.
New album coming out soon... but this song is a classic.
agree
What do you know that I don't know about this new album coming soon?
lethalsl4pper1 top secret info boss
Your? Not you're. Brought your self here. Either way mind=blown as well. Portugal. the Man is amazing. Been listening since Church Mouth.
just saw them live last night and they're awesomeeeeeee!
Jacob Lerma saw them September in Maryland for first time. I concur.
Ohhh I would love too
For sure bro. For me quality of life is the people that you have around you. Friends and family. Money cant buy you either.
Best F’ing thing I’ve ever seen and
ever heard pursuant to the combination.
Well done, Portugal.
Well done, Man.
99% of Portugal. The Man Is Gold. 99%
Una canción sin igual, simplemente perfecta...
Watching this again after years. Nothing has changed. Still the best music video and songs for me 🐺
I can't believe that they only have 47,799 subscribers. They should have at least 1,000,000.
This song and this band in general are criminally underrated .
Not going to lie I was spooked at 10:36.
This is what made me get into their music.
Hermosa.... Canción no la dejo de escuchar saludos desde Colombia
sleep forever is the best song to bury down a person you love....last year i did it with my mother, and i'm still glad that i did it with that song....i will always love that song...thx
one of my fav songs
makes me want to hike and smoke a bowl lol
