Portugal. The Man - Sleep Forever [Official Audio]

[@artvjon]

This was at the end of the most recent episode of Shameless, so cool and fitting. This band is so amazing.

I don't know what it is about this song, but every time I've ever heard it it's captivated me. There isn't a single occasion this doesn't fit. Weddings, Funerals, Parties, Getting arrested, Shootouts, Surfing on the beach, Skydiving, Getting hit by a car in slow motion, frying bugs with a magnifying glass, spilling milk because you didn't know you had random seizures and your first spell was in the process of trying to make a bowl of cereal, setting something on fire, burying old notes from ex girlfriends, shutting your finger in the car door, accidentally drowning in a public pool, your first kiss, etc. Either way it's a profoundly perfect track. It captures you the same way "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers does, in the sense that it's really just beautiful to listen to and it puts you in a state of euphoria. This song is recent and it's not influenced by pop or any other outside popular sources and I find that refreshing

[@hokoriadventures.6745]

Reminds me of cool summer nights skating and getting lost in the woods with my best buds.

[@highcat7184]

Reminds me of coming down and hating myself

[@Daughterzion7777]

I think that this song can touch every person listening to it. To me it says, that there are those on Earth that love and actually care about others, and that there are those that just don't care about others. It's the message I get when listening to it, but it may not be how another person feels. That's the beauty of music, it touches our soul.

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 their own 'Cause we are the colors Of all that you see We'll be just like our brothers And 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

[@andreitrock]

i swear they are the first band where i like all the songs. Too epic

[@welp55]

I didn't realize how well-composed the lyrics behind this are until today. Simply stunning.

[@doubl3bass]

One of those songs that make you feel good . In a melancholic way.

[@baggedtaco24]

Seriously this song gives me the chills, its gorgeous!

[@moehead8257]

who is still watching shameless? I know that end of that episode, really nice song. "I just wanna sleep forever never see tomorrow" sometimes I feel the same.

[@imakethiswork]

it's crazy how an artist sat down, thought wrote then produced mixed mastered a song that made someone consider "nah, not today." and you know exactly what I'm referring to.

[@johnmortimer7862]

I don't know why I like this song so much, but I go through phases where I listen to it on repeat. There is some kind of tangible but discrete sadness in the lyrics, I think that it speaks to the disillusionment of people who realize that the world is nothing like what they've been told. You can't put your finger on it. You just kind of look around you one day, everything clicks, and you just shake your head and say "what the fuck am I suppose to do?" Hence the desire to just close the door and sleep forever, and not to be a part of the whole mess. Just to give up on a world that never cared enough to even know you were there to be abandoned. Either that or it speaks to the endless dissatisfaction of yet another generation of spoiled kids who have no clue what it's like to actually have to work hard for a damn thing.

[@highcat7184]

Yea this song definitely highlights the darkness and unfairness of reality I can see this song going hand and hand to represent victims of war, Poverty, Sickness, Death, Depression, Re awakening, Fatal illness ect.

[@highcat7184]

Also I think it might be referring to someone who fears getting stuck in a loop They don't want to work forever cus at some point in the cycle that's not living They don't want to stay awake in a world that asks so much from them What's so wrong with wanting to go to sleep and never wake up?

[@poetryclubofficial]

Interesting perspective. What resonated with me, was the responsibility that we all have as part of the humanrace for the kind of experience everyone gets. And yet we can't rely too heavily on ourselves, won't trust a supernatural being either.

[@tacituskilgore6552]

Missing my friend so bad tonight. Thank you for being a light in my life

[@mkoch3040]

Recently had a cancer scare prompted me to make a “if I die these songs meant alot of me playlist/ play these at my funeral” this song was added. PTM will carry you through anything in life. This is a blare in the car sing at the top of your lungs bop. I hope my kids discover them someday and love them like I did.

[@coleslaw8493]

Used to listen to this in high school. Thank u Portugal the man

[@lezbhonest_0]

The way I don't hear this song for a while then somehow stumble upon it, and all the weight becomes ten times what it was. This song lives outside conventional critique. It is too good.

[@tomrobinson8750]

New to hearing this band, already love there sound, this is my favorite song on the album

[@Madiiiiiiiii316]

I heard my teacher playing this in my graphic design class I Shazammed it I’m so happy I did this song is so peaceful

[@nothingbettertodo4729]

I finally get what this song is about, it's about him rejecting god's paradise, it's about how he really doesn't want to go anywhere else other than an eternal sleep, it's so in your face but I never caught onto it up until now.

[@mattuwu42]

This song has gotten me through some really hard times. Thank you Portugal The Man :)

[@daddybigweld8942]

Id go on long drives at night with my friend. We listened to this in silence while going down a pitch black road. Everything felt profound, the sound of the engine and that distant skyline of lights illuminating the cloudy night sky in a warm yellow glow. In that moment I thought to myself that if I died then I would die happily, Id be completely ok with it. Its a good feeling

[@cesarrodriguez8893]

sounds like meditation....

[@HardcoreJesus100]

Daddy Bigweld man, I remember that feeling all to well. I too had a small group of 3 sometimes 4 friends. We had a true bond and would have truly done anything for each other. I can’t believe how life has taken so many of my friends from me... I wish I would have died back then, when it at least would have meant something to someone

[@alecsw9572]

[@Hydrolion1998]

Even though I'm finding about this song and band at the tail end of 2019 I can say that I'm glad that I found it nonetheless since this song alone is an experience that I already know is timeless.

[@iverymarquez1152]

People who say "just die" sleeping forever not seeing tomorrow is not dying. It might go hand and hand but the song is saying they just want to sleep. To not feel death but to just take a long rest and never waking up. Evey other day I feel the exact same way. I'm not suicidal , I don't want to kill myself. I just rather sleep and now wake up. I'd be oblivious to death escaping into my own world of imagination and dreams.

[@jorgecastillo4862]

I feel the same way

[@desolationangel.s]

That is what death is. A permanent sleep. There's no reason to fear it. When we accept it, life will only grow more vibrant.

[@hawkedoe6442]

Sleep is the shy cousin of death. When we die, we sleep forever.

[@mrperson3885]

This song is incredible, some of the comments are like: why live when they want to die? But its that point in time where you realize that death is inevitable, unavoidable and when you realize you're mortal it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Death is an experience unlike any other and it that mind set of be grateful that you have the options that you do have weather its a shit life, you still have the option to rebel to be your own self; to concur the goals you set out to do. It's that feeling of accomplishment--your whole life dedication completed; the point of finishing it is the most complete feeling. The comfort of never having to live life's stresses ever again; its an relief knowing that your whole life is brought to a righteous close... Can't wait.

I want this played at my funeral regardless of the circumstances

[@jorgecastillo4862]

same

[@jacobberry7665]

I had the same thought when I head this song too

[@SistoActivitatemAtm]

Brad Kinowski what if you were kidnapped and held prisoner in a tiny white padded room for 7 years without ever leaving, and this song was playing on repeat indefinitely. What if near the end of your life, far after you became detacheded from reality, you had one wish: to be killed for this tortuous experience to end. After dying prematurely from natural causes, the kidnappers disposed of your body, which was found by the police, identified by your parents. Later, before your funeral, your family was sent the video of your 7 year confinement. Regardless, your family knew you before you were taken, they knew you wanted this song played at your funeral, so as they lower you down under the earth, this song, that you heard 7 consecutive years straight with no breaks, is yet again playing as your final moments in relation to your existence. Would you still have wanted it played in that circumstance huh?????
