FIRST TIME REACTING TO Sleeping At Last - Saturn

[@vontrude3310]

Adam this was wonderful to see. Sleeping at last has entered your musical world. You´re in for a journey. my heart is melting. Thank you - Sarah :)

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank YOU for the recommendation! It did not disappoint!

[@vontrude3310]

@@AdamStraughan im so glad. it is a really intense song. thank you for trusting me.

[@queenofgreen83]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's the type of music you can lay on the floor and let wash over you.

[@Jamie_black]

NABSTABLOOK? IS THAT YOU?

[@lucamaiorani7450]

it's even more beautiful to know that the text is dedicated to the Cassini probe, crashed into Saturn's atmosphere in 2017 as its last act of life and knowledge. A probe that has gone far beyond its initial mission and has really allowed us to get to know a piece of saturn.

[@icktzar]

Wow! I didn't know that. I discovered this song like a year before, and instantly became one of my favorites (and introduced me to Sleeping at Last songs, which I love).

[@RaquelNoraMagalhaesdeMiranda]

I have deem all of the reations on KZbin for this song, and yours is the most wonderfull of them all!! This is the one of the best songs ever!!! Not even the instrumental but the lyrics!!! You pass the most true emotion!! Cheers to you!!!

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks so much!

[@ryanc2696]

A lovely touch is the change in the last line: "With shortness of breath, I'll explain the infinite." To me, he's repeating what he's heard. He's carrying on a legacy. It's making us, ourselves, the infinite. 11/10 Beautiful song

[@jessicamanuszewski7148]

I loved this song so much the first time I listened that I got the last 2 lines tattooed

[@Here_is_Waldo]

I never noticed that. Thank you, that really does make it better.

[@simoventuri]

Pretty much the same reaction we all had, myself included. English is not my first language and it still melted my heart!

[@lol_9984]

My absolutley favorite song in the entire world!!! It really heals my soul... And I can't find any words for that masterpiece. This artist Gifted us an absolutley treasure!!🥺✨ People please keep this save forever!❤️ It's the Song of our universe

[@Dr.TGLamola-ll2io]

Ryan from sleeping at last literally Creates music. Listening to his podcast too on how a piece of music is assembled and you will be blown away. His Atlas Enneagram is among the best albums and podcasts I have ever listened to. I identify as Enneagram type 3, while my wife is a type 6. Man we can listen to it for hours on repeat.

[@UltimaTheSeraph]

Around 8 months after I lost someone I love I found this song. The first time I listened to it I cried so hard because she was in this song. She taught me courage, she taught me the beauty of life, and a few weeks before she was gone she said to me "I wish you would see yourself through other people's eyes, to realize how amazing you are". I wish I found this song sooner and played it at her funeral.

[@AdamStraughan]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[@NicoleMcRaven]

Oh gosh this song is very special. No matter how many times I listen to it, no matter how long I've been hearing this song, I get constant goosebumps and shivers throughout my entire body. SAL has made sure to not only solidify this song, but so much of their catalog, deep within my heart and soul. I wish I could articulate better how much this song affects me. Thank you so much to you and your friend that recommended this, you have truly brought magic into your life, and to the lives of others. Much love from Newfoundland, Canada.

[@sradeshintaro30614]

My top 3 of Sleeping at last 🥇Two 🥈Three 🥉Saturn Every blessed piece of Sleeping at Last is a work of art, I could recommend the entire discography, but these three are gold to me. Two is my favorite song in the whole world, I honestly and completely believe that everyone should listen to it at least once in a lifetime.

[@UliFandoms]

What better song to start with when discovering Sleeping At Last... Thanks Adam for your heartfelt reaction!

[@SR-71BlackbirdA2]

I'm so jealous (in a good way) about those people who get a first listen to Sleeping at Last's Saturn!

[@lindsayvenable]

God, I wish I could hear this song for the first time again... gorgeous. I still get goosebumps when I listen to it.

[@AdamStraughan]

Same!

[@hiatusmode989]

A one man band made such magic musical piece😭👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

[@ShinyElfriend]

Such gorgeous lyrics, you're right. And the visuals were an incredible complement to the music. Lovely reaction.

[@alexthefossilguy2754]

I get emotional every time I hear this song, and I have heard it a lot. It speaks to something bigger and more important than the things we think and worry about in our daily lives. We often miss that magic and beauty in life focusing on the ugly. A lot of times it isn’t until life is nearly done that we figure that out…. If we ever do in this life….

[@RaquelNoraMagalhaesdeMiranda]

Your reaction to this very special song is very touching!

[@JerisEve]

Beautiful, cosmic, philosophical, spiritual, this song ticks off so many boxes at once. Nothing is more nurturing.

[@alexandriadupuis]

You may have missed it, at the end of the song he switched the lyric from “with shortness of breath *you* explained the infinite” to “with shortness of breath *I’ll* explain the infinite. So it’s like, passing on this message, this appreciation. Like a father teaching his son, and then him teaching his son. Kind of makes it come full circle!

[@vontrude3310]

Here comes a little background about Sleeping at Last for you: SAL is project by Ryan and his musical output is insane. Dudes really creating and composing a lot and has many albums and pieces of music in general. If you watched Greys Anatomy (I didn´t) you will hear his music from time to time cause he works with several shows and stuff. Because of this insane output I have to confess that I still haven´t heard his entire discography which I usually do when I am touched by an artist. But I really like the two Atlas Albums. Atlas 1: I think the whole space series is phenomenal - favourites: Saturn, Neptune, Pluto / Atlas 2: the sensual (touch, taste, smell etc.) and emotion series (Joy, Anger, Fear etc.) is so wonderful. I think someone in the comments also recommend songs from the emotion series. My favourite Album is the Enneagram-Album. The enneagram is a system that describes the human personality by 9 different types. But it goes much deeper as the myer-briggs thing as it is based on your inner fears and motivation. Each of the 9 songs in this album describes the journey to self-acceptance and empowerment from our childhood wounds. Even if you don’t know anything about the enneagram you can enjoy these songs and learn a lot about yourself. Favourites are 5 - 7 - and 8. I hoped this helped a little for you upcoming journey of Sleeping at Last. Big hug from Berlin, Sarah.

[@AdamStraughan]

Ahh thank you Sarah! This is really interesting!

[@ry3942]

The way I'd do anything to hear this song again for the first time😭

[@AdamStraughan]

So stunningly beautiful

[@pumadriver1]

i heard this song about 6 years ago for the first time.. The account had about 3.3k Followers.. i couldn't believe, that one of the most beautiful song ever made has such less attention.. look at it now.. it kinda make me proud to see that they finally get what they deserve..

[@stevenfullman5646]

I love fact you start off all cocky and end up humbled. Well done Sir

[@AdamStraughan]

“Start off all cocky” yeah that’s not how I am at all 😅

[@mariostylianou7725]

Hey buddy!! I felt I was travelling in space!! Floating peacefully with his voice.. Wow!! The violin.. The vocals.. Stunning!! Never heard of this artist before..glad I did.. thanks..

[@betmo]

lush and stunning...i've rarely seen anything as exquisite

[@cyberkiller83]

I envy so much to everyone that is listening to this song for the first time.

[@vih2120]

One of my favorites songs of all time. It is very nice to see it around here. I'm a cellist so it is especially beautiful for my ears because there is so much of Cello solos on it. Thanks Adam. Amazing reaction and comments.

[@Acelevi999]

Right on Laddie

[@Acelevi999]

Love you Brother You are Loved by the Universe ✨️ within You I Play Sleeping at Last more then often

[@thebluebobcat]

I absolutely loved your reaction! Saturn is one of my favorite songs of all time, I’m so glad you liked it! As far as other songs by Sleeping At Last goes, I’d strongly recommend Atlas: Heart, Mercury, Earth, Atlas: Two, and Atlas: Sorrow. All of SAL’s songs are extremely poetic and beautiful, I’m sure that no matter which one you pick you’d enjoy it! Also little side note, I’m so happy to see someone finally react to SAL, not many people on KZbin actually do reactions to his songs, especially not reacting to more than 1, please keep up the Sleeping At Last reactions! I hope you’re having a good day btw!

[@amystiller8389]

This was such a beautiful thing to see, I’d give anything to go back and listen to this song for the first time…. Thank you for sharing

[@siriosstar4789]

When placed in the context of the film it becomes even more profound . a rare piece of music indeed .

[@JaqueDark]

As soon as I saw the title for this one, I knew you'd like it. I absolutely love this song, I've heard/seen it used on many fanvids but my absolute favourite use of it was on a Robin Williams tribute video.

[@A.K.gear.11]

One of my favourite things about the song is at the start of the lyrics. It's saying "YOU taught me the courage of star before you left how light carries in endlessly even after death with shortness of breath you explained the infante" then at the end it says "with shortness of breath I'LL explain the infante how rair and beautiful it truly is that we exist" it will forever stick with me as it reminds me of how my grandad would take his time explaining stuff to me and telling me how special it was to be alive and how i wished that i could have been older and to have known how to write i was 5 when my grandad died but most of my early memories or atleast the happy ones were all spent with him. And now that im 18 and my older cousins are having kids and older friends having kids as well as the younger siblings of friends and im getting asked all the same questions i would ask my grandad geting to pass on his words and his views on life with people who were never even thought of when he died 13 years ago just makes it real specifically the line "how light carries on endlessly even after death" to me it means how the knowledge and wisdom he passed down to me and the words that stuck to memories are still engraned in my mind even years after his death just like how when a star dies we cant see straight away it can take hundreds or thousands of years for its light to die out because how far away it is and how long it takes the light to travel from the star to our eyes. "The Light after death"

[@AlessandroBenetti]

Ryan is a masterpiece creator. His songs arrive right in the core of your soul’s.

[@th5841]

Nice! Need to look them up for sure.

[@JopaJo85]

Adore Saturn,great reaction,every time i hear 😢😢

[@Proteus2905]

You can tell if a song touched something deep inside you, when you all of the sudden broke down crying and you even don't know why.

[@jessicamanuszewski7148]

Now you should TOTALLY listen to the newer version featuring Tim Fain! I truly didn't think anything could top this song, then they went and made it a million times better!

[@knightofcydonia1192]

Such a raw reaction. I don't watch reaction videos; I actually don't care for them. This is my only exception. I must admit, I will always be jealous of those who get to experience this song for the first time. And seeing yours felt like looking into a mirror the first time I got to hear this song. While I may not admittedly be around much, please take my subscription.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

[@alexandredonardi6827]

Best song ever, by Ryan O’neal. He’s a genius. but this song was a tribute to the Cassini satellite, which captured images of our solar system for two decades and ended up crashing on Saturn. belongs to the album Atlas. Tip: play North song, from sleeping at last.

[@MrTombre]

they got a really nice cover of Proclaimers- 500 miles as well =)

[@neilpattie6146]

You understandably thought the last verse was repeating. It wasn’t. It says “With shortness of breath, I’ll explain the infinite”. In other words, as an old person he shares the same gift to another and so it carries on. It’s such a special and deeply moving piece of music. Surely one of the most beautiful ever written.

[@dustinmartin22]

I got permission to use this song for a science video I did for my sons school… I used the beginning of it to recite “a pale blue dot”… and it really fit. It’s a masterpiece of music…. ALSO… MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - THE SILENCE … needs to be one of your reaction videoes!!!!

[@robbpowell194]

Agreed. The Silence

[@picivyvortac2641]

This may be the last sunset I'll see, So I'll take it in, I'll take it in. This may be the last air that I'll breathe, So I'll breathe it in, I'll breathe it in. And with shortness of breath, I'll explain the infinite. How rare and beautiful it truly is, That we exist.

[@itzzjustrush]

Probably the best genuine reaction to this song..I think at the end we all just sit there for a second lol

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!

[@vontrude3310]

it was all i ever wanted from my friends when i showed this piece to them.

[@Kimberlyannkent]

I have been going through your reactions of artists I have never heard of and this was so GOOD! As I was listening to his voice I said to myself “ that sounds so much like the guy singing in Eclipse as Bella is remembering her honeymoon night” and after searching …its them! Song is called Turning Page. Another new artist to discover - Thank you!

[@Maya-nw4mz]

You should react to “Hearing.” It’s one of my favorite by them ❤️

Sleeping at Last is SO good, and this is one of their best songs. And if you like it you should listen to "North" or "Sorrow", they're also very good songs and they hurt a lot more. 10/10

The depth of this piece is immeasurable. On one wavelength, it's a new father greeting his newborn son while saying good bye to his dead father. On the other, it's an apostle remembering Jesus.
