My 19 year old played this for me for the first time about a year ago, and it hit me like a kick in the stomach. I have PTSD related to combat, and sleep, especially during times of stress, is sometimes not very pleasant for me. The verses themselves were impactful enough, but the first time he sang, "bring me my tomorrow," I almost lost it. I love this song so much. It gives me so much peace.

I love how it goes from gentle to like a tad intense and then gentle again and it just goes back and forth such a beautiful song

[@RDMusicExchange]

Glad you like it :)

[@austinz1824]

Caligula"s Horse is another personal favorite of mine, Im actually wearing the same Rise Radiant shirt as I type this, lol. This song is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorites off the album, with The Ascent and Oceanrise being my others, I'd love to see more reactions from this band as well, maybe do Graves, Bloom + Marigold, or Dark Hair Down next (:

[@RDMusicExchange]

Too funny! Yes, more CH to come! Thanks for watching!

[@bananamiriam]

This is my fave from Rise Radiant - intricately nuanced

[@RDMusicExchange]

It's so good, right? The whole album is great - we'll be looking at more in future episodes :)

[@overtheoverseer]

A Leprous track is surely the next logical choice?

[@RDMusicExchange]

Hi, I've not heard any of their work - what do you recommend?

[@overtheoverseer]

@@RDMusicExchange oh wow. Leprous, Caligula's Horse and Haken are the "Holy Trinity' of contemporary prog for me! It's really tricky to pick just one track as Leprous have such an impressive and diverse discography, but I'd probably go with 'White' as a great introductory piece 🙂

[@philippbrandstatter2638]

@@RDMusicExchange i would recommend "Out of Here" from their new Album - Aphelion This Song hits so dayum hard 😮

[@philippbrandstatter2638]

@@overtheoverseer Well spoken 😄👌🏻

[@overtheoverseer]

@@philippbrandstatter2638 it's an amazing album for sure.

If you here with Caligulas Horse, you should try their cover of Peter Gabriel’s song Don’t Give Up. The Kate Bush part is taken by Exploring Birdsongs Lynsey Ward. It’s on the most recent album.

[@kevinbrown3082]

This album in fact. So you’ve probably already heard it. I see people recommending Haken for you. I first got into them through the song Cockroach King. There’s a great video that goes with it with the band played by puppets!

[@RDMusicExchange]

Yep - Love that track. Check out our Exploring Birdsong video :)

[@RDMusicExchange]

Yep, love Haken - the second ever video we did was for Endless Knot, check it out. and yes, Cockroach King is coming soon :)

[@kevinbrown3082]

The first reaction I watched if yours was the Exploring Birdsong one. I’m just catching up on the rest of your videos. I now see I’m a little bit behind on what you’ve already done 😆. I think we probably have very similar taste in music. 👍🏻

[@flash_69]

You should hear it live.

[@RDMusicExchange]

I'm hoping to once they come to Sydney. Saw the Livestream event and it as great!

[@flash_69]

@@RDMusicExchange I was in the crowd at the livestream and at the Friday nite warm up show. It was great.

@Flash Mc I would have given my left nut to be there! F**king COVID!
