I REALLY LIKE THIS BAND!!! | Sleep Token | TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN | Rapper Reaction | COMMENTARY

[@JGotti777]

Best thing on the internet is watching people discover and experience SleepToken for the first time. Always a great day to Worship.

[@LemonChad049]

Take me back to Eden takes me somewhere no other artist has. Great video, you should try "The Apparition" next.

[@Itsaguapo]

Gotta be careful with The Apparition. That song can hit the heart so hard.

[@LemonChad049]

@@Itsaguapo yeah that song broke me when I first heard it.

[@michaeluga]

Good taste bro 😉

[@Bzk--]

You could say it takes you back to eden ayy lmao

[@oryxconceptual]

The line about innocence toward the end is: "No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" Just figured you would probably end up liking the line even more if you got the whole thing.

[@Nathdood]

"self-sought fury" hits hard

[@the_nap_king]

ie. Beating yourself up over past mistakes won't change anything.

[@oryxconceptual]

@@the_nap_king I've always interpreted it more as a statement about the impossibility of restoring the purity of a thing. Specifically a person in this context. Once you learn, experience, do, or take-in something.. You can't go back.

[@ega7072]

That line basically sums up my struggles with depression and years of getting high every day, feeling stuck in hopelessness and doing nothing with my life. I’m better now, been clean for a couple of years, and this song (and many others, one being DYWTYLM) reaffirms the lessons learned and cements the decision to change; move on from it and accept that I can’t return to the innocent glory of my youth. He writes such powerful poetry, it’s insane. Consider this my request for a reaction to DYWTYLM.

[@alexpereira7851]

The 'weightless' image that you gave, is the exact image for their second album cover, This Place Will Become Your Tomb. So many references back to the previous two albums in Take Me Back to Eden

[@WriterEvanMorgan]

The Apparition and Ascensionism would be right up your alley for sure. I do appreciate these deeper dives, man. A lot of reactors will just make shocked faces and listen to the song to get clicks but I appreciate that you actually take the time to go in and analyze from your perspective.

[@pauzeandrewind]

🙌🏽

[@nickwelch3649]

They just signed to RCA records earlier this year, so im going to assume they are working on the next album now before they start touring again soon. I saw them live in Pittsburgh in May, and it was one of the best concerts I've seen, and i have been to many. Great reaction, my guy. I would recommend Granite or The Apparition

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

I second this ☝️😊

[@kerrymoran6466]

I saw them in May in philadelphia and I haven't stopped talking about it. I've been to over 100 shows and I've never heard a better vocal performance!! I had chills the whole show

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

Dude I freaking LOVE the face EVERYONE makes and the "ohhhhh whaaaaaat" the second vessel starts his rap cadence bars,!

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

It’s insane how you described their second albums cover without having seen it. Just from the lyrics.

[@pauzeandrewind]

What's the album cover?

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

@@pauzeandrewind it’s a person deep in water holding out their hands. The only part you didn’t get was the person looks like their dissolving in the water.

[@ryanford5320]

You nailed it bro..nobody making/constructing music like these guys...everything has a purpose in the songs. They make you feel all the emotions..love the reactions 👌 keep at it

[@eyesofthelamb]

If you listen to 'Chokehold' by them, you'll notice the callback to that song nearing the end of this song, specifically from the 6 minute and 42 second mark. It's a joy to hear! Also you absolutely hit the nail on the head with the commentary in regards to the meaning of the song - "take me back to the beginning, when it was easy". Enjoying your Sleep Token reactions, they're incredible - give their older stuff a listen, you'll love it.

[@almizzyracing8004]

I really enjoy your Sleep Token reactions. You take the time to dive into the lyrics and understand them which I greatly appreciate. So many reactors just bob their head to the instrumentals, which are good, but the lyrics is what puts Sleep Token on another level for me. If Ascensionism set the bar, where does this one fall in line for you? My recommendation for the next reaction is Aqua Regia or Granite. The apparition is another great one. Rain is up there. There's been bands that I've really liked, my favorite ones historically, who there's a few songs on each album I don't care for. They sound like fillers to me. With Sleep Token, there's no song like that to me. I don't get the sense of a filler from any of their songs. They bring it in every single song. Thanks for the Sleep Token reactions, I'm here for them. Go into this journey, this rabbit hole, that is Sleep Token. Us diehard fans are here for the ride.

[@KashtheDegen]

Couldn’t have said this better. Worship!!!

[@TB-sp9jy]

Its a great day to Worship ❤

[@KashtheDegen]

Love your takes on ST songs. You hit it right on the freakin money with your opinions of what the lyrics are conveying, man. When Vessel sings, you can tell his feelings by the emotions in his voice. The end of this song when he screams “Take me back to eden” it hits me so hard cause you can feel his pain. I LOVE THIS BAND!

[@rachelmattick2356]

Love that you have totally "got" the meaning of this song. With doing things to the detriment of yourself like with the moth to the flame concept, the water metaphor at the start. And I KNEW you would love it as it went into the rap section because of how purposeful and clever it is.

[@RogueNL]

You get it bro, you just get it. ❤️ Enjoy Sleep Token, like we all do. Worship. ❤️

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks man! The Apparition drops tomorrow as well.

[@RogueNL]

@@pauzeandrewind You’ve got a new fan in me, I’ll be sure to check it out! Already went through your Falling In Reverse video’s yesterday. 😂

[@pauzeandrewind]

Haha my man!

The ending is the moment he bites back in anger, the sad longing to go back changes in not beeing able to deal with it anymore and the sadness gets anger....that is how I feel it anyway.

[@kimberlystafford8917]

❤❤❤

[@noxx7220]

I think what’s impressive is how easily their songs can invoke deep feelings either through the lyrics or even the music just resonating in you.

[@liambarrett2638]

One of the best reactors. I appreciate you telling us how it makes you feel, and reading into the lyrics to understand the song fully. Keep it up man

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you, I really appreciate that! Much love

[@Parker_Theemotherian]

Just wanted to say love ur videos and reactions man keep it up all are bangers

[@Koberg00]

You broke this down perfectly. Watched a bunch of your reactions but this was a sub for me. Keep it up bro.

[@cleo47bc]

Here to Worship with you, covered in full body chills. This track does it to me 👏🏼every 👏🏼single 👏🏼time

[@darcystcorner2580]

Their entire discography is a story. The story begins with ep one and goes through to Euclid. Just in case you want to go back to the beginning and do it in order. If not that’s good too 😊 You so get it and I appreciate that. The loss of innocence takes place on ep one with thread the needle, there’s an apple in the video

[@rhsrhrhjsj-uj1um]

Everything about this song is a freaking masterpiece it's incredible

[@seanrookee]

It's beautiful how well these songs travel through various genres while still being the same song. It might not be to everybodys tastes and fair enough but at least these guys are trying something exciting and fresh.

[@LaytatoClips]

Bro I’ve listened to this song so many times. Straight vibin. Always loved the winged insect bar. I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE MOTH TO A FLAME REFERENCE! 😭😭😭

[@pauzeandrewind]

They really got a vibe, unlike any other. Diggin it

[@wuznar]

Great reaction and many of us love seeing people discover Sleep Token. I relive my own emotional journey of listening to them for the first time through these reactions! Im throwing in my own suggestion of jumping to their first album and reacting to Dark Signs. You get to listen to their early work and be amazed by it. Keep up the awesome reactions!

[@dogfish2859]

They are amazing, love that you love them. The Metal band version of Ren, so creative

[@CF39D4FB4A]

8:50 I had the exact same reaction/feeling man 🔥

"omg I love this" - same man, same!

[@bryanjenkins8830]

Fantastic reaction. Can’t wait for more. Don’t hesitate to pull the lyrics up even though you’re obviously a great listener. I love your break down. Worship

[@StephanieShearer-v3b]

All three of sleep token’s albums tell a story in order. You have to listen to first album “ sundowning” all the way through from start to finish, then listen 2 second album , “ This place will become your tomb”, All the way through from start to finish, then, finish it off with take me back to Eden. It’s a story Vessel is telling about his life in a toxic relationship, 🎉where he feels traps, but desperately wants out but she keeps dragging him back in. They are Sal connected. It’s perfect poetry babe❤. Great reaction. Listen next to the “ Night does not belong to god” it’s the first track from the triogly. Then it all ends with the last song on Eden, when he finally breaks through. Their clues in each song and repeated lyrics and metaphors. Peace and love babe.😢

[@penizhaktm6472]

Love that my man gets it so real and visceral, great work.

[@prometheusfallen]

I love how II (the drummer) sneaks in the drum pattern from the very last breakdown of the album throughout this song and the rest of the album, too. It's the "little things" in music that does it for me, man. Worship!

[@sarahwalters4428]

I absolutely fkng LOVE II😂. HES THE FKNG G.O.A.T!! The was he drums is like an experience... I can't even articulate that shit tbh😂. 3 is hilarious..I just love all of them honestly 😂❤😂❤

[@miissteishaa]

Best thing is seeing people react to sleep token. They are a band i needed in this point in my life and have truly made me love music more than i already do. I was lucky and got to see them in Boston and it was the most amazing experience ive ever had. Next time theyre in the states i HIGHLY recommend. Hope you listen to more!

[@Lucid_Death]

Love your musical tastes. Great breakdown.

[@timothy7190]

Love Sleep Token. So talented and different. Great breakdown. 🙏

[@jimmydean7219]

Dude, I subbed because of these sleep token reactions. My one piece of advice: the last song of this album is Euclid. It’s the last song in their trilogy of albums, and makes super powerful callbacks to songs from both this album, all the way back to the first song of the first album. For maximum impact, at the very minimum, listen to “the night does not belong to god” (the first song of their first album) before listening to Euclid. For best results, just take the whole journey in order lol. Happy listening, and much respect for the Deathnote poster, bro. :-)

[@henrytrevino3018]

So glad you are loving these offerings! Sleep Token is a belief system, a way of understanding. Great reaction. Love seeing people enjoy them!

[@StephanieShearer-v3b]

It makes me feel so incredibly happy that other ethic groups love this band. They bring us all together. I mean I’m a metal chic and this band sent me to drake and the weekend. Which I probably would have never gone an explored since I was raised on metal with drumsticks in hand. Beautiful seeing us come together in music. Music is key!All of it! Peace babe ❤

[@pyromajor1]

"no amount of self sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence"

[@joranmoore5663]

Whenever I hear this song it makes me cry. When I was a kid, I was out with some friends and family at the local beach. We were all having fun wading around the water for what seemed like an eternity. After a while I got on the dock and jumped in like everyone else, but I had misjudged where I was. At the time I didn't know how to swim so I would stay around the shallow side, dunk my head in to cool down but come right back up. But I had jumped in to the deep end without realizing it at first. I had sunk to the bottom but as I was falling, everything just seemed to...fade. The sound of all the others playing faded away, and it got darker the deeper I went. I found myself at the bottom and I just sat there. I didn't fight it. It was so peaceful down there, I didn't want to leave. I spent what felt like another eternity down there just thinking about things. Sitting still. But I kept thinking about how hurt and upset my parents would be if I never came back up, so I crawled along the bottom and made it to the surface eventually. Hearing this song reminds me about that time. I guess the calm, peaceful darkness of the water is my Eden. I always go back to that moment if I'm ever stressed or upset. Just sitting there, still and without worry. This song really does "Take Me Back to Eden."

[@NIKAROONI68]

There are many reactions out there that seem to come from bags of rocks. Your sincere, honest and educated responses(both musically and non musical) show an understanding of what we ST fans see, hear and feel every time we listen. I, also. would ask you to listen to the Trilogy in order. You will come away with a much higher appreciation for what you hear.

[@GuthrieTimothy]

“Are you really okay?” and “Euclid” have always made a grown man like myself ball my eyes out so much. Definitely react to those.

[@jonru814]

Favorite reaction video. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@niswonger45]

Here to Worship! 🙏🏼🤘🏼💕

[@ThatTurkGuy88]

Bruh I won't spoil anything but a next song to listen to (and showed up in the "watch next" at the end of the video) is DYWTYLM. I recommend it because in 'Take Me Back To Eden' the line "Mirror talk. Fake love" refers to DYWTYLM. Any and all recommendations are great. This band is wild and deep and beautiful. Welcome to the rabbit hole brother. Worship

[@jslady5662]

Ascensionism will blow ur mind! Literally 1 of the best songs ever! He is lyrically delicious!! Nit to mention that voice! ❤❤ ST is the best band ever imo!!

[@ex0gen-]

I'm excited to see you hear more!! Granite will be a top 3 for sure.

[@edelwiess2306]

I’m surprised nobody has recommended Bloodsport (from the room below) yet. This version would be the best one to react to with an actual video. Some hard hitting lyrics for sure!

[@sarahwalters4428]

ARE YOU REALLY OKAY is also one hell of a beautiful damn song! It really fkng hits you right where you didn't know you needed to be hit😢

[@Runeforged]

Lyrics meaning: At this point of the story, He’s a spirit that has followed the Sleep goddess into her spiritual realm. He’s describing the surreal experience. “No one told me not to breath and now the weightlessness recedes”

[@J.J.Gosnell]

6:14 I just realised the image... Imagine a candle with a bright light. A funeral pyre

If I had to make anyone listen a trilogy of albums in order, it would be Sleep Token. The whole story and lore is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Its INCREDIBLE.

Fantastic reaction. Would love to see you react to their songs “Granite” and “Bloodsport from the room below”.

[@samcrorie]

Whenever you can, check out the entire discography. The last three albums are a trilogy and there are so many references and callbacks in some of the songs from this album.

[@dogfish2859]

Aqua Regia into Vore would be epic

[@MrBaronCabron]

I always feel like the harsh Vocals in this video (at least for me) is what we all want to say. Just take me back, just screaming for us to be back

[@jimmydean7219]

Alright, second piece of friendly advice: I’d recommend doing reactions to whole albums, and then just breaking up the whole thing into separate videos. These are all one big concept album that tell a story, and it’s way easier to appreciate the whole picture if you do it all in order with it fresh in your mind. But that’s just me, and I’m just happy to see you enjoying the music brother.

[@GreedFeat]

I would always suggest going to the start of the train with either their first album or one of their covers like Hey Ya or I Wanna Dance With Somebody

[@J.J.Gosnell]

10:24 every lyric here is a call back to another song.

[@almizzyracing8004]

Something to note, earlier in the song, he says "I WILL travel beyond the path of reason." Then at the end, during the screaming, he says "I HAVE traveled far beyond the path of reason." He's screaming "That's it! The gloves are off! I'm done asking nicely, and now I'm p*ssed off! TAKE ME THE F BACK TO EDEN NOW!!!" This is the next the last song on the 3rd album of the trilogy. These 3 albums tell a compelling but tragic love story from beginning to end. Every song has lyrics really deep like this.

[@noxx7220]

This is my favorite part. Because it’s fairly subtle. But I don’t see it as him being pissed off. The way I relate to and see it is that manic moment when you are finally broken. That you are forced to the edge and have gone past the point of reason. I think the feeling further expands on the feelings from The apparition. Specifically the feelings from the lyrics from the apparition “Just let me go or take me with you” But hey his art is subjective and that’s what makes this band great is it can invoke so many feelings and relate to so many people in different ways!

[@sublimeking9517]

[@alex_drums807]

You reacted to "The Summoning" already but you have to react to the live version. The drummer II adds a live addition of a drum solo and Vessel just by far uses the creative freedom in a great way, much better version in my opinion. Seeing them live is a pleasure. Appreciate the content keep it up.
