AMAZING!! | HALLELUJAH | SLEEP TOKEN

[@anthonygrillo1643]

90% of the video Kyle looks like he’s waiting for the doctor to finish talking and get to the “bad news” 😂

[@klopf8]

I laughed so hard at this

[@joshlewis8860]

I read your comment before watching and already knew what face you meant 😂

[@Nathdood]

i cannot unsee it lmao

[@Sammyii.]

The worst thing about Sleep Token is when it gets relatable. Because it hurts. It's such a special band. They deserve the world.

[@laurelanneselby2801]

Perfectly said 🙏

[@jenniferhill6506]

Blood Sport STILL reduces me to ugly crying - sobbing, rather. I couldn't even bear hearing the opening notes without breaking down immediately, had to skip it for a few months bc it was just TOO painful and relatable. I can listen to it again now, but I cry every single time.

[@joeknipe7966]

@@jenniferhill6506I sang along to it in the van on the way to work having started the day in a strangely chipper mood and I was sobbing like a baby by the end 😂 💯 relatable

[@IodizedTV]

Vessel cries an EXCEPTIONAL amount when he is performing live- every emotion he conveys is authentic to each song. Nothing is forced which is incredible

[@benmason9755]

The female vocalist (one of the live "Espera" trio of backing vocalists) is Lynsey Ward. Her three-piece prog rock band Exploring Birdsong are AMAZING, and have been incredibly well-received by the fans when they've supported Sleep Token on tour. They're really cool too in the way they don't use any guitars, it's all pitchy bass and keyboards, but they still rock HARD.

[@iceman1403]

SECONDED to checking out exploring birdsong! Their new singles are my favorite songs of the year ♥

[@ShaddyMan]

I AM SO GLAD YOU TURNED ME TO THIS

[@JewelsLeigh]

Espera is amazing.

[@pitman27x]

@@iceman1403 i concur

[@sweet_token]

im obsessed with Lynsey's voice and also love Exploring Birdsong 🥹

[@Lunar_Asylum]

One thing about Vessel live is that his passion is there every time. It's not manufactured, it doesn't feel just like a performance. It's incredibly palpable. I don't think we'll ever get a performance like this ever again. This was so long ago and a very intimate couple of hundred person venue. But regardless, their live performances are amazing. It feels like worship, even if they aren't intended to be gospel songs. Vessel throws his emotion into every performance like it is church.

[@charlottemary86]

It seems like Vessel loves every genre of music, but Gospel has a special place in his heart. I also loved Kyle's face during the song, like he was in church having a spiritual moment.

[@SacredShores]

His vocals live are devastating. Unreal. Hope you guys get to see them soon.

[@markmcafee5488]

His voice speaks directly to your soul; even through a phone recording. He's the Angel of Music.

[@Rose_in_Eden]

We posted almost the same comment ❤ I feel the same.

[@littletommy69]

If I'm not mistaken this whole concert was just Vessel and Espera girls.. when he played songs on piano, he was sitting with his mask down, and his back to the crowd. This whole show must have been one of the best experiences ever!

[@lfreeman0828]

He did Missing Limbs this tour. Just him and his guitar in a wave of pink and purple lights. Mesmerizing. I can't wait til you guys get to experience Sleep Token live.

[@olivetattoos98]

Yessss I cried during it and at the end, opening with TNDNBTG and ending with Euclid. 🖤

[@BOLDgames]

I love that everyone recognizes this beloved song and starts singing along - and then Vessel is so crazy talented that everyone stops singing just to hear him.

[@bridgette-1822]

Kyle (and Eric too), if you’ve only seen snippets of the room below live performance, do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing. You don’t even have to react to it, just sit and enjoy it. There is a video on KZbin of the entire thing. It’s absolutely breathtaking and well worth a listen!

[@traceysketchit5248]

I second this

[@Oxygen_and_SleepToken]

I third this

[@violacesario4389]

Yes a thousand times

[@frostfang1]

I'm happy they are "caught up" because it means they have a chance to finally completely immerse themselves in all the ST snippets and details without feeling like they are spoiling something for a video. They get to experience all the wonderful things like TRB video.

[@tjh5716]

[@tabeaw123]

Vessel's voice simultaneously RAVAGES and heals my soul. He is so raw and vulnerable and authentic, it's honestly an honor for him to let us in like that.

[@RevMesmer_VT]

Honestly I would say this is Sleep Tokens most emotional and beautiful live performance next to Blood Sport.

[@kjplaysguitar]

So glad you did this one, Vessel's talents go beyond the normal way of singing. Chris Liepe believes vessels emotional crying that he does behind that mask is what gives him some of that untouchable tone and connection to the audience to the point the audience also tears up from the way its being sang. Cant wait for a day when we have some new Sleep Token, this reaction ride has been awesome and has made me a fan of you guys.

[@almizzyracing8004]

The female backing singer is Lynsey Ward. She's a member of Espera, the trio that tours with Sleep Token. She has her own band called Exploring Birdsong that has noticeable Sleep Token influence. You should check out her cover of Deftones "Diamond Eyes". I like it better than the original. "The Collapse" is also a great one.

[@onlycalmchannel]

Saw Sleep Token at Masey Hall on May 27, 2024. ST changed my whole mind, heart, and soul -- that night. And ever since. No music act has ever reverberated through my life like ST. And Vessel is someone I truly wish I could know as a friend and brother. It would be a miracle. But we are all alive as Vessel is. And I am forever grateful!

[@darcystcorner2580]

It’s amazing how even when he’s crying he can push through it and it sounds beautiful

[@makennaallen4246]

Missing Limbs was on the setlist for this most recent tour and witnessing just Vessel and his guitar from barricade was life changing

[@tysoncrosby3915]

I love that you commented about people singing along. Because at first they are, then you can slowly hear their voices drop out as they realize they just need to take in what vessel is doing.

[@carden413]

The way i RAN to youtube when i saw the notification that you did another sleep token reaction 😂

[@halfgoddess_halfhell]

It's the combination of Vessel, Espera, and the crowd. Got the goosebumps. 🖤🖤

[@kittywolfie_chan2467]

God damn on point! Also, not to be rude, but please don't use the term "vesselettes" - they're called Espera, they're not members, they're doing their own stuff and don't like this term

[@halfgoddess_halfhell]

@kittywolfie_chan2467 I appreciate you letting me know. I'm not super well versed on everyone that performs with Sleep Token. I'll edit my comment accordingly. I also appreciate you not being a typical keyboard warrior about it. Blessed be. 🖤🖤

[@sicariius7682]

I have been SO excited for this reaction..... and I've waited so long, his voice is just perfect....by far the best rendition of Hallelujah I've ever heard~

[@sashajaded]

Kyle spent most of the video looking like he just saw Jesus in his living room

[@reubenw815]

i was extremely lucky enough to be amongst the crowd there. Absolutely emotionally devastating in the best way. Such a special night

[@K1NGD0M]

Really wish this was studio recorded and thrown up on Spotify, this was gorgeous!

[@KB-xc6md]

Never heard the cover before and by god I don’t know how. Both Vessel and Espera have such ethereal voices. Felt like I was ascending

[@jackskellington8152]

I'd definitely tune in to see you guys go through all the videos "from the room below" performance from sleep token. Vessel, mask off, and a piano.

[@sand_eater101]

I've seen people say Vessel was crying during this cover and I knew that going into this reaction, but goddamn that sob hit me right in the guts. For each new song or cover of theirs I hear, they somehow manage to completely floor me every time, if not exponentially more for each one. To repeat something from a different comment section; I really hope Vessel knows how special and talented he is, how many hearts he has touched and how many souls he has healed. I've been listening to this band for well over a year, but I feel like I've known them for way longer, like friends that you've practically just met but clicked instantly with. They were there when I needed them, they helped me get through some tough problems both family related and personal identity related, and I can never repay them for playing such an important role. They feel like life, and as poetic as that sounds, it's true for me. They've genuinely helped me see the beauty of life and they've taught me that it's okay to take it slow. They are my whole world.

[@nolo3568]

only got one word for this, chills

[@ariumet]

this one is so fucking beautiful, hearing him cry almost made me cry too. his voice is divine, i love it so much

[@Nathdood]

how is he so good... his voice is unique and captivating 4:59 that harmony is insanely perfect

[@Kae5K]

Finally! Thank you! Probably my favorite cover from Ves; he puts so much emotion and feeling into everything he does but this just hits different. Also, I know you guys mentioned the audience singing in the beginning... but I think the thing that says the most about this performance is how they were all stunned to complete silence by the end.

[@Jring-goofy]

I can not get through this song without crying no matter who sings it, but especially this version! Such an amazing voice!

[@simonjay3913]

I had tickets for this gig, a few days before i fell off my bike and broke my shoulder blade so couldn't go. Luckily i did see it on my phone as someone did a live feed of it. Incredible performance.

[@marybethoriana]

I had goosebumps throughout this entire song. That was amazing.

[@BreathingTheory]

The falsetto harmony at the end was so hauntingly perfect

[@Oxygen_and_SleepToken]

The harmonies are truly ethereal. A masterpiece ❤️

Love this song a lot. Vessel doing what Vessel does

Every time I hear this I feel like that SpongeBob gif of him levitating

[@lauriwest435]

Wow wow WOW!!!! I need to go wash my face and put fresh makeup on before going to my class reunion in a little bit. Not this cover, but this song was the first played at our friends funeral this morning... this got my emotions going ten times more at least. I still have chills! I needed this, it's been a rough day... and the party starts in 2 hours.

[@RivenRanger]

Vessels voice always gives me the tingles right at the base of my neck and skull.... he's just got an absolutely sublime voice ❤❤❤

[@calebevans3690]

I would kill to have been at this show. Y'all need to watch the whole thing. ESPECIALLY missing limbs, fall for me, and Bloodsport, which in my opinion are THE BEST versions of each song

[@clubstylesporty1576]

you should watch the whole gig his fall for me live version is heartbreaking

[@violacesario4389]

Agree. That live version of Fall For Me is actually what made me fall in love with the song (not the studio version).

[@davdavdav94]

Goosebumps everytime, an honour to have been there for this one. I hope the memory never fades

[@Daniyvet1264]

Watching this one and Missing Limbs live are my favorite because of Vessel and his guitar ♥️

[@Schumacher190]

The sign off by Eric in this video reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke: "If you find yourself lost in the woods, fuck it, build a house. Well, I was lost, but now I live here. I have severely improved my predicament!"

[@Oxygen_and_SleepToken]

Their reaction to vesselette singing is priceless 😅😂

[@blueeyedgossipgirl]

ESPERA not vesselette - they HATE that

[@Oxygen_and_SleepToken]

@@blueeyedgossipgirl oh shoot! I’m sorry! I won’t call them that from now on. Thank you for telling me.

[@Rose_in_Eden]

Vessel is my favourite singer because he has his own style and the passion he puts to sing. He pours his beautiful soul in each and every note. I'm in love with his artistry ❤ Worship

[@violacesario4389]

Fucking magical. Thanks for reacting, guys. I didn't think Jeff Buckley's version could be topped until I heard this one.

[@heidipatton5858]

OMG I've been WAITING for you guys to find this one!!! Vessel and one of the Espera....such beauty!! I've cried every time I've listened to this cover! And yes, Vessel actually will cry when singing live. One of the few interviews he's done, he was asked about it, and he's stated yes, it's real, and it just happens.

[@bluesey-182]

you guys should definitely check out the videos from the rest of this show bc vessel played songs on the piano with his back to the crowd and his mask off sitting on the piano beside him. it's chilling

[@gunblade9]

Before people complain about the audience, I can't believe how great the audio quality is. Even through speakers, it is amazing.

[@frostfang1]

I believe that was Paige of Espera. (Consensually unmasked background vocals group). My belief is he got choked up earlier and tagged her in until he could compose himself enough to sing again. But it made *such* a beautiful moment. And he didnt experience a hiccup of that nature again till Wembly from an audience of a 100 to...thousands? There to support him and them even when he couldnt sing.

[@TheGreenGuitarist]

It was an amazing gig, you're welcome for the video. 😉

[@TB-sp9jy]

Boys, I'm glad you did this one. This particular show had a wonderful version of Bloodsport. I believe he does remove the mask, but is faced away from the crowd. The crowd participation is very heartwarming

[@Spaceycasey1414]

This is my favorite cover, it's just so beautiful and emotional. Everyone who got to see the room below performance live is truly lucky.

[@tiffy3260]

Watched your sleep token reactions maybe 2 weeks ago and have been binge watching sleep token concerts on yt, watching sleep token reels, listening to people's take on the lore, and listening to them on spotify for 2 wks straight now..sometimes i feel like im overdoing it to the point im getting sick of them but i miss them when i dont get sick of them. Huhuhuhu

[@s.stinnett3972]

So heartbreakingly beautiful!!!

[@brezengirl]

Playing this song in this intimate surrounding was just perfect. It was a sacred moment we will never forget. Especially when the lady with that angelic voice dropped in. They both can sing so beautiful and the crying at the end adds even more goosebumbs to me. This song is already so beautiful and Vessel made it heavenly.

[@chadkoon]

Finally got to watch this! Vessel's cover gives me chills every time. I will make another attempt to respectfully request you react to Blacklit Canopy. There are visualizers for every song so none of the "live footage" needs to be seen. This is about deep diving into Vessel's (imo) autobiographical lyrics from before he became Vessel. It's tragic and gut wrenching and something every Sleep Token fans need to experience, imo.

[@Tinable]

Sleep Token is such a great vibe. Love this reaction. This band makes you feel shit that you didn't even know you could feel. Maybe it's just me.

[@nikkihall3254]

Also chiming in that the entire room below performance is a must watch! Some of my favorite versions of their songs in that performance. Absolutely amazing

[@Kittie_Kate]

I’ve watched all of your sleep Token vids and a few others and I’ve never seen you guys so moved and riveted as when you react to ST… just shows how enchanting they are

[@laurelanneselby2801]

I adore your reaction to this song. I didn't think anyone could out do Jeff Buckley's version until hearing Vessel sing Hallelujah. Well presented guys, absolutely loved it.

[@joshuacanipe7688]

Look up K.D. Lang's performance at the Juno awards for the version Leonard himself called perfection.

[@laurelanneselby2801]

My dad loves KDs version, she sings it beautifully aswell. @joshuacanipe7688

[@miss__anthropy]

The videos from this show are unreal. I think it's one of the only times Fall For Me was performed live, and it is as devastating as you'd think. For most of the show Vessel sat at a piano with his back turned to the audience and had his mask off, and he was sobbing off and on during the performance. He also had an AI read a message that's heartbreaking as well. Definitely recommend looking into "Vessel's message room below" and watching videos from this show

[@brittanyschiesl3207]

I can’t stand this rendition (in a good way) it’s so beautiful and brings a tear to my eye every time. when I tell you I’ve been WAITING for you guys to react to this!! Wish they’d release a cover, only way I want to listen to this song❤ Thank you guys for reacting with us

[@Curio77]

Eric, when you have hard time explaining what Vessel makes of (or does to) a cover, basically he “Vesselized” it. That’s what I call it. lol. 😂

[@jslady5662]

Beautiful! ❤ He always says if the music didnt move him to tears there would be no point. He's the best vocalist imo I've ever heard.

[@lipeaYT]

People theorize that Vessel is the former lead singer of a band called Blacklit Canopy, it was him and a girl who sang, so maybe it's the same one who sang with him, the voice seems very
