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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
As I finally meet my end I won't be scared, I won't defend The things I've done I don't need him like you do I don't fear him like you do As the world revolves the sun I hope the light that I become can Sleep for once I will leave it like you do I won't lead it like you do I won't leave it like they do I don't need him like they do I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Or lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like our mothers Who gave us our homes We'll be just like our fathers And go out on our own 'Cause we are the colors In all that you see We'll be just like our brothers We'll take to the streets Take to the streets I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Lead or follow As my world it hides behind The words only your wars define They read a lot like news But I fear it more than you I fear it more than you I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Or lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like old lovers Who never leave home 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 I just want to sleep forever Never see tomorrow Or lead or follow I don't want to work forever Know what I know Or beg or borrow Just like our mothers Who gave us our homes We'll be just like our fathers And go out on our own 'Cause we are the colors In all that you see We'll be just like our brothers And take to the streets 'Cause we are all children Yeah, we are all man It may not be much But we do what we can Don't need no preacher To make us believe That everything's perfectly Fucked up like me
Well put. Any thiughts of your own on the matter or were ya just gonna plageriaze the fucking thing for us? Oh you already did. Is that your thing? You come into some you tube fuckin comment session amd pass off some obscure passage and pass it off as your own to impress some girls? Wtf? Lol. Just kidding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@biglikebuu OMG THANK YOU... This song played with Frank being upset because “Fiona” Emily had just died, and everyone is talking about how ian kissing mikceys head was part of this song and it wasnt it was just like 2 seconds of it but mostly about Frank in the hospital...
"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"
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
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.
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.
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...
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....
We’ve started a music movement where we feature underground artists to help get them noticed. All great revolutions start small, so join the movement and tell your friends, and who knows maybe you'll be able to get your music featured!
Kraxle This is actually a different thing. They aren't trying to promote their own music, they want to help other underground artists to get noticed in them music business
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
For as often as I come back to this I wish this shit got it’s recognition. Carried me through a lot. Very proud they’ve gone to their heights but this album is my comfort.
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

This music is eternal.

@@Portugal.TheMan The one and only , Portugal. TheMan
@@Portugal.TheManthis song should be as big if not bigger than “Feel It Still”.
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.
Rest In Peace to a brother, a friend, and the one who introduced me to this beautiful music. EJE 1995-2020

Thanks.
+Gabriel Costa thats why I loved how they fused it with Got It All. To give a bit of a push!
I don't really know why but this song makes me cry every time. wow.

***** if you listen to this song enough you won't burn well.
#ShitPussiesSay

well shit im sorry for being a cat )=
this hurt me emotionally when it was in 4.11 of shameless us. cried my fucking eyes out.
Me tooo!
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
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!
because music is subjective. What you might like, this, for instance, might not be good to me
@@s30n 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
As I finally meet my end
I won't be scared, I won't defend
The things I've done
I don't need him like you do
I don't fear him like you do
As the world revolves the sun
I hope the light that I become can
Sleep for once
I will leave it like you do
I won't lead it like you do
I won't leave it like they do
I don't need him like they do
I just want to sleep forever
Never see tomorrow
Or lead or follow
I don't want to work forever
Know what I know
Or beg or borrow
Just like our mothers
Who gave us our homes
We'll be just like our fathers
And go out on our own
'Cause we are the colors
In all that you see
We'll be just like our brothers
We'll take to the streets
Take to the streets
I just want to sleep forever
Never see tomorrow
Lead or follow
As my world it hides behind
The words only your wars define
They read a lot like news
But I fear it more than you
I fear it more than you
I just want to sleep forever
Never see tomorrow
Or lead or follow
I don't want to work forever
Know what I know
Or beg or borrow
Just like old lovers
Who never leave home
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
I just want to sleep forever
Never see tomorrow
Or lead or follow
I don't want to work forever
Know what I know
Or beg or borrow
Just like our mothers
Who gave us our homes
We'll be just like our fathers
And go out on our own
'Cause we are the colors
In all that you see
We'll be just like our brothers
And take to the streets
'Cause we are all children
Yeah, we are all man
It may not be much
But we do what we can
Don't need no preacher
To make us believe
That everything's perfectly
Fucked up like me
Well put. Any thiughts of your own on the matter or were ya just gonna plageriaze the fucking thing for us? Oh you already did. Is that your thing? You come into some you tube fuckin comment session amd pass off some obscure passage and pass it off as your own to impress some girls? Wtf?
Lol. Just kidding.
Beautiful. It’s such a song to sing loudly while alone. Thank u
Shameless brought me here and thank god for that
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.
FIONA! FIONA NO!
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.
Thank you Shameless for bringing me here. Beautiful song!
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.
Just moved after 30 years myself.
This song brings me back.
I'm choking right now.
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.
11:43 I don't know why but the lights on the mountains feel so haunting.
Shameless
Frank and Emily :(
Yes! Took me along time to find this!!
It was playing when mickey came out. When ian kissed mickeys head. Followed by frank and emily scene😭😭😭
came here right after i finished the episode
💯

My favourite lines from this song
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.
Sleep Forever is Portugal. The Man's best song by far
Gallavich brought me here, this song is amazing!
Portugal. The Man brought me here, isn't that enough?
The cinematography looks absolutely amazing.
What a masterpiece
I can imagine a huge music video contains the entire album 'In the Mountain in the Cloud' 🤯It would be awesome
Does not matter what brought you here, stay and enjoy!
Bruce Lafone I bet if you watched the whole video then you may not have seen what was coming :)
I came for the name Portugal, I stay forever.

This song is made to be sung loudly while alone
I LOVE IT
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
Technically speaking, the last 3 Portugal. The Man videos I watched eventually brought me here... I was just along for the ride.
This song will be played at my funeral. It is one of their respective 30+ perfect songs.
Been 7 years since this came out and it remains their best song (or at least my favourite).
Honest, this is in my top 10 of all time. Incredible.
I want to sleep forever. I'm constantly tired and the feeling of sleep is so peaceful. My emotions are dampened.
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
i wanna sleep forever with this on repeat
Lived in Alaska all my life, and this is my band.... When fishing on the deska. When chilling anywhere here.
those shots are so serene. & i like the buildup of landscape shots before you see any people, how nice
You guys were MOST EXCELLENT at the Tacoma Dome Bernie rally yesterday! Got a new 71 year old fan!
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 the little section of chords that kick in around 7:45!
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...
this is very sappy (sad+happy)
yeah definatelly! get the same feeling also
Only sad
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

American, stoic, other-worldly yet 100% familiar. The beauty of what We Are. This specific music and it's creators are unrivaled.
Brilliant music, brilliant videos, and John's a brilliant artist. One of my favorite bands.
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
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.
This is the best music video ever made. Full stop.
Searching this song brought me here.
This is what made me get into their music.
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

This entire song is one huge crescendo.

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.
well done Shameless, well done...
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
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.
Watching this again after years. Nothing has changed. Still the best music video and songs for me 🐺
Shameless!!!!! And limitless ofc
+Sergi Merca which episode on limitless?
For sure bro. For me quality of life is the people that you have around you. Friends and family. Money cant buy you either.
I absolutely love this song, on top of their other songs. I relate deeply to this one specifically. Thank you Portugal. The Man.💜
Thank you portugal the man for making my days a little better, years listening and I still get that first time feel
You were there weren’t you. Now I know why I cried now I know why I still cry. You lived, you lived
This deserves an academy award.. Sheeesh. It's wild creative.
one of my fav songs
makes me want to hike and smoke a bowl lol
Thank you Portugal. the Man for being awesome at music.
My fucking badass taste in music has brought me here for time and time again for years now.
Fucking preach!!!!
Dayum!
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.
This song and this band in general are criminally underrated .
