Mastodon - Asleep In The Deep [Official Music Video]

[@finstaker279]

This reminds me of my cat who passed away recently. She's been my best friend for 15 years since I was 4. When her time was coming, she looked at me me in the eye as if to say "thank you, you're a real one", then she left out the front door - with that gaze I knew it meant the end. She left out the front door and eventually my mum found her dead under the decking. This songs reminds me of her trip to the decking. To dear Dilly, you've helped me a fuck ton, we're best friends, and still your body is a carcass under the living soil you're still with me. I love you girl. Xxx

[@gastonjones3950]

The connection that cats have is no comparison to dogs. Dogs are are very supporting and companion, but the connection with the a cat is much more powerful and deep. If your lucky enough to be worthy of it…

[@DoomStarRequiem]

I just lost my cat of 14years.. named him dumpling.. I feel like I lost a part of me when he passed away.. I was there when he left. Buried him near our chapel... I like to pretend his spirit is still there ...

[@foxsicle]

...godammit. My cat is the only reason im still around. Only fucking thing i care about, i didn't think id be able to feel anything like that again. She's about 4 now, but if or when that day comes for her first she definitely won't be going alone.

[@pablo10b55]

​@@foxsicle I used to think the same. But I truly love my other cat and my dog too. They're a real family to me

[@costaldevomito]

Me too! My cat was 15 too. And honestly his death brought me so much healing, even tho that sounds counterintuitive. Cats are pure love imo

[@C_L_W_N_W_R_L_D]

This sounds like a fever dream. Unreal harmonies and chords. Mastodon is so unique and different it's incredible. One of the best bands of this century so far.

[@stepitupandgo67]

I love this one....it has that dreamy feel..bill kelliher's riffs on this one totally carry the tune...and it just carries you away.....the video captured that pretty well in a weird muppet way..and brent's solo is great and organic as fuck as always

Proud dad moment: my daughters age 6 and 3 love this song. Every time we listen to it going down the road I have to hand my phone back to them so they can watch the "Cat song". We pulled up in the driveway halfway through the song and they demanded we sit here and finish it before we went in 🥹

[@Serithose]

This song is a perfect allegory for getting over depression or overcoming drug addiction, years later it’s still helping me, love you Mastodon!

[@rafaelgaia8677]

Never thought of it that way. I must agree now that I see from your perspective.

[@mikef3720]

I view this video as a song about a call to the cat for help by those Under-dwellars that were being bullied and terrorized by an evil entity and they needed the Cats help to full fill a destiny and is their savior to release them from that oppression.

*LYRICS* The moment you walked in the room, my friend The demons, they all went away Be careful, they're only asleep for a while Pretending there's nothing to say Throw salt in all the corners here Make sure you watch him leave Build up the walls around this house And dig out the rot in the floor Block out the entrance with brick and stone And mortar that's made from coal Crawl into this hole I've made Transform these feelings of fear I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes An ocean of sorrow surrounds this home I hope that we make it to shore As time chips away at the fortress walls It seems that we weathered the storm The sun begins to show itself Revealing victory I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice) And I can't get you out of my mind

What I love about this song (apart from the gorgeous instrumentation and vocals) is how it both works as a horror story about trying to survive a haunted demon-infested cursed place, as well as being about overcoming depression/addiction/heartbreak. I so love singing along to it. Inspired by when Brann was a kid and his grandmother asked a priest to throw salt in the corners of their house to chase demons away.

Salve Pomba-Gira María Padilla Reina de las 7 encrucijadas. Te pido así: ahora Gira ven mujer girar a mi favor haciendo así mismo: Que IPC quede completamente apasionado por mi MAWH pidiendo asimismo: Aire mueve, fuego transforma, agua forma, tierra cura y la rueda va girando, va girando y la rueda va girando, va a hacer quedar para siempre a IPC apasionado, manso doblegado, dominado humilladaoy arrastrándose detrás de mi. Que su espíritu se bañe en la esencia de mi amor y me devuelva el amor en cuádruple. Que IPC jamás quiera a otra persona y que su cuerpo alma y espíritu solo a mi MAWH me pertenezca. Que IPC no viva, no respire, no piense, no beba, no coma, no hable, no escuche, no cante, no trabaje, no duerma, no se divierta a no ser en mi presencia. Que mis grilletes lo apresen para siempre, por los poderes de esta Oración. Minhas pombas gira use su poder y aleje a IPC de cualquier mujer con la que este en este momento; y si estuviera que llame mi nombre. Quiero amarrar el espíritu y cuerpo IPC ; porque lo quiero amarrado y enamorado de mi MAWH quiero que IPC quede dependiente de mi amor, quiero a IPC loco por mi MAWH, deseándome como si yo fuese la última persona da la faz de la tierra. Quiero su corazón prendido a mi eternamente, que en nombre de la gran Reina María Padilha florezca este sentimiento dentro de IPC dejándole preso a mi MAWH, 24 horas por día. OH Pomba gira Reina María Padilha has de traer a IPC, para mi MAWH, pues yo a el le deseo, y le quiero deprisa. Por tus poderes ocultos, que IPC comience a amarme a mi MAWH a partir de este exacto instante y que el piense sólo en mi MAWH como si yo fuese la única persona del mundo. Que IPC venga corriendo hacia mi, lleno de esperanzas y deseo, que IPC no tenga sosiego, paz, tranquilidad, esperanza, trabajo, salud, dinero, felicidad hasta que IPC venga a buscarme, y vuelva a mi MAWH. Con tu poder y fuerza infinita ciérrale todas las puertas a IPC para que no tenga amistad, trabajo, amor, cariño, salud, familia hasta que regrese al lado de MAWH, Reina María Padilha yo te imploro para que me traigas a IPC. Que IPC me ame mucho, venga manso, doblegado, dominado, humillado a mis pies como yo deseo. Yo le agradezco a la gran Reinha María Padilha. Y prometo siempre llevar su nombre conmigo. Oh! Poderosa Pomba Gira Siete Exus, quiero de vuelta mi amado IPC que me entristece con su desprecio, que IPC olvide y deje de una vez y por todas todos los otros amores y a los que nos quieran apartar. Que IPC sea desanimado, grosero, mal educado, odioso y frío con otras mujeres, que cualquier otra mujer que este con IPC se estrese con el, pelee con el y salga inmediatamente de la vida de el y le tome enojo, odio, aversión y rabia de el y no se retracte de nada. Y que IPC tome enojo, odio, aversión y rabia de cualquier otro mujer que ande con el ahora y que ellos terminen esa relación urgentemente y para siempre. Que IPC se sienta solo, humillado, avergonzado de todo y por todos. Que ninguna otra mujer consiga hacer que IPC sienta placer, solamente yo tendré ese poder dado por ti. Que IPC deje de una vez a todas las otras mujeres, que no sienta deseos ni placer con otras mujeres que no sea yo MAWH y no consiga ver mas a otras mujeres como mujeres, que sienta enojo al oír la voz de otras mujeres, y se torne indiferente a la presencia de ellas, y no sienta placer con ninguna otra mujer que no sea yo MAWH. Que el venga a mi MAWH, pida mi amor y mi perdón. Oh! Linda Poderosa Pomba Gira Siete Exus, que en este momento IPC no quiera mas andar con nadie ni con sus amigos, hombres, clientes, familia, padres, hermana. Que quede sólo pensando en mí y pensando cómo va a hacer para HACERME FELIZ a mi MAWH. Necesito reina, de una señal, una llamada telefónica, cualquier contacto para yo saber si IPC piensa en mi y que me quiere, y me quite de esta oscuridad. Que IPC hable conmigo, que sienta que me echa de menos, me extraña, me necesita, me desea. Usted es fuerte y poderosa, traiga a IPC a mis pies, para siempre, y que venga corriendo, que deje todo y a todo, que desconozca familia, costumbres, amigos, trabajo, hombres, amigos. Y que sólo piense en mi MAWH Linda Poderosa Pomba Gira Siete Exus que con su grande y fuerte poder destruya, derribe, acabe, quite, mate, desaparezca todas las barreras, a todas las personas, hechizos, trabajos y sortilegios que están impidiendo que IPC me ame locamente y desee unirse a mi MAWH .Quiero a mi amado, amándome, admirándome, cuidándome, protegiéndome y consintiéndome siempre, al acostarse que IPC piense en mi MAWH, haciendo así que solo yo MAWH, sea el único amor en la vida de IPC que el me ame y confíe. Que haga a IPC sentir por mi MAWH un deseo fuera de lo normal como nunca sintió por otra mujer y nunca sentirá. Que el no sienta mas deseos sexuales por ninguna otra persona. Que sus deseos sean sólo para mi MAWH que sus pensamientos, gentilezas y bondades sean sólo para mi MAWH. Solamente yo MAWH Le daré placer varias veces en el mismo día, solo yo tendré ese poder dado por ti. Salve 7 Sayas por los 7 Exus que acompañan tus pasos te pido y suplico, amarres en sus 7 sayas y en los 7 guisos de su ropa a IPC , para mi MAWH . Linda y Poderosa Pomba Gira de los Siete Exus te pido quiebra y has polvo las fuerzas, el orgullo, la dignidad, la resistencia de IPC para que el sea muy cariñosa, amorosa, comprensiva con MAWH. Que IPC me quiera mucho de verdad. Que yo MAWH me quede con el. Pero además, quiero que usted, Linda Poderosa Pomba Gira Siete Exus, aleje de IPC todo y cualquier otra muje. Y que podamos ser felices juntitos. Que el sólo sienta atracción y deseo sexual por mi MAWH . Que el me llame por teléfono desde ya y a todo instante. Que sienta nostalgia, deseo, pasión, y amor por mi persona, que sufra y muera lejos de mí y no aguante mas sufrir lejos de mi MAWH. Quiero que el me busque hoy y ahora. Quiero oír la voz de el, pidiendo verme para quedarse conmigo y volviendo a mi MAWH para siempre, diciendo que me ama y que me quiere solo a mi MAWH. Gracias por el favor concedido, voy a divulgar tu nombre a cambio de este pedido, yo MAWH profetizo en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del espíritu Santo, confío en el poder de la 7 Encrucijadas, que así sea, así será y así esta hecho. Agradezco por el deseo pedido ya alcanzado, cada vez que lea esta oración mas fuerte ella se hará. Voy a divulgar a las 4 esquinas del mundo, pidiendo a la madre que conceda mi deseo, que haga a IPC estar loc de amor y deseos, que cada lagrima derramada por mi, se transforme en un gran amor en el corazón de IPc se que los espíritus de la falange de Pomba Gira están soplando en los oídos de IPC, soplando mi nombre MAWh, de día y de noche, que el duerma pensando y acordándose de mi. Salve Pomba Gira te pido OH madre, quita del pensamiento de IPC , todo el odio, resentimiento, rencor, ira, enfado, enojo y lo malo que le paso, que el solo piense en nuestro amor, y viva arrastrándose a mi MAWH de tanto amor. Que así sea, así será y así esta hecho. Agradezco por todo lo que ya esta hecho y confío que seré atendido, IPc va a estar loca de amor por mi MAWH, lo más rápido posible, trae a IPC de vuelta a mí ya. Gracias por el favor concedido.

Opeth my guy. Look up Opeth In My Time of Need.

Millie Jackson We all wanted to cry TT But it was his choice after all ... Never forget.

[@samuelward1148]

Dude that honestly got to me. What a badass little fucker... The rat totally killed Satan, and cared enough about his new friend to tell him to go to safety, to not worry about him... The feels man... The feels...

[@poisodon1]

The adventures of Mastocat, new Adventure RPG game?

[@lynchie137]

If this video had existed, say 15 years ago when Much Music still had their weekly one hour hard rock/metal show, I say that I'd have probably recorded it onto VHS about 60'000 times. It's one of the best videos I've seen in quite some time...

[@MsJennasis]

🥰🥰 the way the kittys tail is up when he sees his daddy again melts me every time 🥲 quite the adventure 🙃

[@SergeySamokhov]

This has to be the best cat video in history.

[@ridered300]

AMAZING as always. Love the style, would love to see a short film like this.

[@Candiflossofficial]

Probably the most trippy 6 minutes and 13 seconds of my life.

[@CWojcieszak]

Candifloss Yeah those last 3 seconds were trippy as hell !

[@ydin9]

Candifloss Average cat day.

[@ellipsoidi]

Candifloss try watching a tool video ;D

[@pandorika2010]

00hasista00 it was just i thought when i saw this comment hahaha

[@BlokeScope]

The best video ever made.

[@METALGRAMMYS]

Perfection

[@matthew21.44]

I love this a lot.

[@Dooronn]

Mastodon x Skinman best combo ever. When Mastocat turned into Invisible cat that was cool. Don't sleep!

[@shanerobinson3455]

Play Stray while listening to this awesome track, you're welcome

[@BerserkersBattle-816]

One of the greatest videos I've ever seen wow! I would love to see a movie like this it would be a instant cult classic. The song is incredible like all mastodon tunes. This band continues to push the boundaries of their playing. Again if anyone is in film school and has the ability both artistically and financially to create a movie hopefully cosmic horror do it.

[@oldwelshbloke6860]

The world "Tool make the most weird videos". Mastodon "hold my blunt".

[@jeremyr2619]

@CuckZLayer 3000 well said

[@sirspookybones1118]

They dont top Tool for weird shit but they're still pretty odd, which I'm pretty sure is what you were saying

[@KatsapyNeLiudy]

Check out Igorrr

@ Old Welsh Bloke Thats on O E

[@gideanhume5401]

Am I the only one who felt like this should've been the lead single? It would've been a cool way to introduce the album.

[@Endisupertramp]

Cats, metal, vague lyrics, trippy video, this ticks all the right boxes!

[@shaylarietveld9686]

Looks good to me!

[@jareddavis5901]

This video is absolutely amazing. Best video I've seen in a long time. Props to these guys, truly inspiring stuff.

[@Ride4life777]

Super true,la neta son de lo mejor que he tenido el gusto de escuchar hace mucho mucho tiempo!such an inspitartion!!!

[@adren42]

Listening to this song is like taking a trip, your body doesn't move but your mind travels the cosmos glimpsing wonders you've never imagined

[@Kikyobutt]

Oddly enough, the more I watch this video, the more it makes sense...

[@ayelenquezada5428]

The best video in the world, i loved it, from Chile! Amo este video no puedo parar de verlo una y otra vez, de verdad me encanta tanto como la canción, buen trabajo Mastodon! GOOD JOB MASTODON!

[@elevensixty2434]

I got a cat from a "rescue" place (?), feed it the best cat food, massage it all the time, let it sleep/play anywhere it wants.. and planted a buch of catnip, which I've been fertilizing and tending.. found a couple varieties (one is reddish and he prefers it)- and wow you should see this cat when he gets into it.. some kind of euphoric trance. I imagine this is what's going on in his brain lol. Anyway I wish every animal and especially humans could be good to each other

[@BTKYG]

Great tune, visceral imagery in the vid, excellent work.

[@Roniel81]

Thanks Mastodon for the great video from all cat lovers around the globe! ^.^

[@cestarianinhabitant5898]

I showed this video to my cat, he grew bored halfway through. I'm afraid I can't call him a mastodon fan. He was very interested for the first couple of seconds though. But you lost him at the trippy stuff.

[@llKoopav2ll]

appreceating stuff like mastodon takes some time. just show him the video multiple times and hell surely love it some time

[@martinzuccari9615]

Drug it.

[@vincentaldaine4435]

Hahaha, he probably thought "Man, I lived this like a week ago- nothing I ain't already heard or seen, what else do you think we cats do in our spare time?"

[@arthurdent6256]

Gotta give him the catnip first.

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

Martín Zuccari noooo never give your kitties drugs. Unless it’s stuff the vet recommends and they need it.

[@SethHesio]

Mastodon do not give a fuck. Love these guys.

[@sotomax7]

Can we talk about how amazing the percussion on this song is?

[@josefranciscojf2752]

This has always been my favorite Mastodon music video. Not only because it's an incredible song from a band I'm such a fan of, but also because it's the first animal I saw when I was a kid. Even now at 24 years old, I still love cats and if the band doesn't make another music video with a cat before the end of their career, this is officially the best video ever, in my opinion 🐈🐈🤘🤘

[@JaymanJuuzou]

Cat's rule, dog. Hell yeah 🤘

[@sithari6136]

no metal music videos can top this! this is true!

[@numb3r663]

Red Fang has some f'd up videos

[@ltlt1219]

Love their voices and Everything abt their music...one of the best damn bands out there! This video is killer too! Peace, good health and sanity to everyone and thank you to Mastodon! 🤘✌️💜

[@HoodGoblin]

Mastodon gives no fucks.

[@Alexandre-sd9rg]

Simon Rivas that's why i love them ! they do what they want to do

[@konstantin4210]

Never listened to this band before, first time, 2 days ago heard this track on the radio and thought it was Soundgarden or Chris Cornell. Great music and video!

[@soakedbearrd]

This album is seriously underrated.

[@Airguardian]

Now that's an ORIGINAL music video.

[@pale_whitey]

This band gets better every time I listen to their music, great stuff

[@dereklow4368]

Ima let you finish...but Mastodon had one of the best videos of all time

[@SpankyCool-ib3pc]

Love the Drummer. Very Dr.Peart RIP, Great band Spanky Cool.

[@erroneous6947]

I love how the little kittie goes on his own adventure. Why do I feel like I’m tripping?

[@Intaminator]

Probably the dream of the lumberjack from the Curl of the Burl video.
