WE REACT TO SLEEP TOKEN: TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN - BEAUTIFUL!!

[@victorassumpcao]

“Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone.” -Vessel, 2017.

[@jenniferk.9356]

Thank god nearly every genre has beatiful music. Never thought I would listen to sleep token or metal in general. Here I am crying to this Song.

Hes so well spoken I can't with him

[@somebody1102]

wait... WHAT?! WHEN? I've never seen or heard this but I love it. Where can i find where he says it?

[@Austin-hz2mc]

"I'm about to bite back in anger" He bites back at the end of the song.

[@vitanyroyale]

TAKE A BITE

[@Airbear211]

That’s exactly how I felt about the ending too!

[@xenomorphiia]

"I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre." Basically a really poetic way to say "like a moth to a flame." 🖤

[@gruccigang0587]

Well well well

[@fastfive220]

And the way he sings it is just so beautiful and so well done. If anyone else was singing that line, I wouldn't like it nearly as much

[@307livin9]

I personally believe, the way its written out, "winged insect" rather than moth is to show insignificance, and "Funeral Pyre" rather than flame is to suggest tragedy. Its a personal theory, but it brings so many more layers to it.

[@pwningtoenail]

"the line before, "my, my, those eyes like fire", like a moth to the flame, those eyes will kill me

[@I_D_W_I_W_D_W_I]

While also saying, "Everything you embody is death, but I'm so drawn to you". Vessel's lyrics play on so many levels it's awesome!

[@jfloresdrums]

I cried the first time i heard this part: "No amount of love will keep it around if we dont choose it." I broke down in tears the first time i heard.

[@earthscorcher]

Kyle looks like he's actually in pain from how beautiful this song is. I feel like it is everything you could ever want as an audiophile!

[@VoidHxnter]

Coming from an amateur audiophile, this song gave me an eargasm. The production quality is absolutely insane, an audio engineer’s wet dream.

[@thisguy709]

He had the exact same reaction I did the first time I heard this song. If you’ve ever been in a heartbreak situation, you relate sooooo deeply to the pain this induces and then when the album ends with Euclid you know you made through the most toxic and terrible shit ever but you still made it. You’re okay and it does get better and you grow from it. Beautiful band and amazing music doesn’t even begin to explain it.

[@ColieBear18]

​@VoidHxnter honestly i sincerely hope they remaster their old albums with this new team. I bet their old tracks will hit even harder with better audio production

Long time fan, rare commenter. Sleep Token has become my obsession. The call backs, the lyrics, the ambience, the genre shifts, his vocals... It's so unique and beautiful. I've cried and raged through the album, who else can create those emotions? I hope you continue to listen to them, starting back at the beginning of the trilogy.

[@aliciafuchs9080]

im a rare commenter too, and obsessed with sleep token. ive cried myself through half their albums, and they have gotten me through some of my darkest times

[@mikepriestey2547]

Plenty of bands can create those emotions. It's all about personal preference

[@ah-ys8gs]

[@timothyvarner6981]

I love the call back to Chokehold with "it was no accident" tying the whole album together.

[@darkwolf1805]

and "We were tangled up like branches in a flood" right after that. great callbacks in this masterpiece of a song

[@AkairuNoAme]

And then Euclid and The Night does not belong to God wrap the whole three Albums up in an astonishingly beautiful bow. I haven't even got words to describe how knowing that makes me feel.

[@JoeyIsGaming]

​@@AkairuNoAmemy favourite callback out of all of them is Euclid calling back to TNDNBTG I ugly cried the first time hearing the way Vessel sung "The whites of your eyes, turn black into lowlight[...]". And when I listened to Euclid for the first time, the culmination of feelings from every album together signed off at the end of the song by the callback make me breakdown mentally but in such a good way. To me Sleep Token is healing. Their three albums are a process of all stages of grief in a broken relationship. Never has any band been able to encapsulate the feeling I have for being betrayed better than them and I am ever so grateful for it. I could sit down and talk about each individual song for hours. Unfortunately I don't have friends that are that much into Sleep Token so I can't really do that 😂😂

[@emilyphillips6835]

Kyle, what you felt listening to this is what so many of us fans feel as well. Sleep Token has healed wounds that I thought were gone.

[@SUNDAYHRS]

At the very end of this song they say “we were tangled up like branches in a flood” which are the exact lyrics that are in Chokehold at the beginning of the album. So it comes back full circle. Pretty cool

But I been better the past two days. No more sadness. The nortriptyline helps of course. And so does intermittent fasting. Great for my anxiety and depression. Just had to share!

[@astagaulyte6191]

@@doreenmorawski3484 yes, at the beginning of the year, I was in a very bad mental condition. It was like I'm in a deep black hole, where is no hope, no light, no bright future, just anxiety and sadness, emptiness. That may sound pathetic for someone, but exactly this song, Take me back to Eden, drought me out of this terrible place in my head. I never took medicine against depression. Maybe cause I'm very emotional and sensitive person, the Musik of Sleep Token helped me to get out of my depression. I mean, those dark thoughts are still there, but they don't control me anymore. I started to do sport, and I lost now 18 kg of my weight, which is incredible. I still doing sport, and it helps me a lot to get rid of negative thoughts. I train at home, besides. I just so so happy that I discovered Sleep Token in my life. I'm one from the thousands of others, whom they saved 🙏🖤

YES! the apparition has become my favorite. Such a vibe

[@lindellbrooks5433]

My favorite thing in life is sharing someone's first experience with a ST song, no one is ever prepared and the reactions are always true. Thanks so much for letting us in on this. WORSHIP

[@merinband917]

Remember that other than the drummer, this band is one person. Vessel writes all the music and lyrics, plays guitar/bass/keyboard/etc, sings, and helps produce. His drummer is "ii", who is incredible and does some drum playthroughs of their songs on youtube which are super fun to watch as well.

[@angelamiller2577]

There are four members of the band from what I've seen.

[@House3DPrints]

@@angelamiller2577 yes and no. Vessel and ii were the only permanent members for most of the bands history. I’m not 100% sure if the others have been made permanent members, if they have it’s only been recently.

[@pedroferreira3540]

​@@House3DPrints I believe they are a 4 member band now since they all have their own social media accounts

[@merinband917]

Yeah to follow up on these other comments - iii and iv play with them when they're doing live shows but I don't believe they're significant in the songwriting and recording process. If they are getting integrated into that now, that's awesome - but traditionally they have been support members for touring only.

[@merinband917]

@Charlei13 They use a background track for synth bass on certain songs, but iii definitely plays bass live on a lot of it. He's very charismatic but he is actually playing as well.

[@jordanashworth2747]

This song is almost like having a drug or spiritual awakening to me. I've never experienced so much power and emotional/spiritual authenticity in a single song before in my whole entire life. I genuinely do believe this band is the most unique and talented band in the history of all music to have ever been written so far and i don't say that lightly. These unbelievably creative and (what I believe to be divinely inspired) ranger and blend of genres, notes, tones, techniques, styles, ect. surpass anything i ever even thought would have been possible... I can't even find the words except that they come out of an entirely different state of consciousness that speaks to the uniqueness and eccentricity of each individual through their own life experience. They have even surpassed tool for me by exponential margins who were the only band who could even have come close or compared and thas not something I ever thought I'd be able to say or imagine would be possible.

[@theskincareskinny5006]

As a huge fan of Tool (my favorite band of all time) and having just come across ST literally two days ago I can honestly say I can see where you would come to that conclusion… i LOVE tool, but it took time for that love to cultivate. Its been two days and I effing LOVE Sleep Token.

[@twall91]

Also as someone who has loved Tool for years and considered them possibly my favorite at one point but was hesitant to pick a favorite, I’ve had the privilege of being a ST fan longer than a lot of people. Roughly 3 years. But as soon as like The Summoning dropped it became clear to me that Sleep Token is my favorite band of all time. No second guessing required. Especially since they felt so personal to me having been stanning them from Sundowning when it felt like no one was listening to me when I said yo these guys are something truly special. Seeing everything that happened with their rise to fame last year made me so proud.

[@LEYLINES_]

I discovered this band via KZbin recommendation with this song and ever since, something inside me has been wanting out; I feel it desperately clawing my insides; it's amazing. I'm hooked on this band. [Worship.]

[@wubzee9169]

The writing in this song is incredible. "We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans, but no one told me not to breathe. And all the weightlessness recedes" Might be one of my favorite lyrics of all time. It makes me think of an unprepared child growing into adulthood. "I'm a waking hell and the Gods grow tired." Is a phenomenal way to say what he's saying as well.

[@whirlwindsky]

Another thing I do very much like with the first bit of lyrics you mentioned is how when you're swimming, if you have air in your lungs, you will naturally float, but if not, you sink. So, with him "breathing" in the water, that "wightlessness recedes" is from the water filling the lungs, and losing that natural easy floating

[@janicemcquitty]

I'm just so overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of it all!

For more lyricism with a cinematic journey, definitely try Ascensionism from the same album

Man you can see the moment whenever these guys click with Kyle. Ngl I got misty-eyed whenever I heard this song too! I was kind of in that same boat of not really quite connecting with ST's music. But this song freaking did it for me. It's a MASTERPIECE.

[@Rinny_Rin_Rin]

This is my favorite song by them so far!! It took them awhile to click for me too, Eric! But once they did I was obsessed. We all have different tastes and they’re such a unique band it took me a bit to digest them. But this album is a masterpiece imo! Can’t wait to see more from ya’ll! If nothing else, their music is an emotional and heartfelt journey.

[@Rykerroad]

I am definitely getting into them more. SOME of his songs don't hit right for me (at first) but he's an amazing vocalist and I can't deny talent.

[@Rinny_Rin_Rin]

@@Rykerroad that’s totally fair. I first heard them when they released their second album and I was new to the metal genre and didn’t really understand them. They didn’t hit right for me either. But after I heard The Summoning it clicked and I was like ohhhhh okay I’m here for this. And now they’re probably my favorite band. 😂 how music hits you differently at different times is wild.

[@txmbstonx]

Sleep Token has me in a chokehold (pun intended) with their lyricism, and especially with the way they arrange their music. I had listened to Take Me Back to Eden a thousand times before I noticed Vessel takes a gasp of breath after “but no one told me not to breathe”

[@Stereosin]

I found Sleep Token through this album and from my own experience Vessels voice is something you get used to over time. I couldn't see anyone else in his place now.

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

A lot of British singers sound like him. Like James Arthur

[@CMFoodFun]

Something you guys might not have noticed is that in every song sleep token puts out, the further in the song you get the fuller the sound is. So every time you get a hook it will sound bigger.

[@calebevans3690]

This band has SO MANY subtle references throughout their music. One example is "i don't know what's got it's teeth in me...". That lyrical idea is in several songs on all their albums like "when the mouth of infinity buries it's teeth in me" from High Water. Another one is "...i will still avoid my own questions" and "... pull myself beneath the waves" in High Water come back in DYWTYLM with the whole theme and "or do you duck into deep blue Safety"

[@rotolotto]

Seeing Kyle really be touched by the emotion in this piece really resonated with me. Please review Euclid. This whole album is probably one of my favorites of all time, not just because of the cool genre bending gimmicks but because of the raw and earnest emotional moments in the record.

[@aliciahankins]

I have rewatched all your Sleep Token videos so many times-it’s like watching my fave comfort show. But this one is my favorite one by far because I can tell it’s where you fell in love with their music. Watching Kyle go on an emotional journey reminds me why I feel so deeply connected to music. I get chills every time. I’m just so grateful you guys discovered this band so that I could as well. Thanks for sharing dope music with us all.🤘

[@natashasteds]

This song is so beautiful! It is an emotional rollercoaster for sure. It starts out so chill, then makes me sad, and the end when he screams "take me back to Eden!" I feel so angry. It is amazing how much they can make you feel in one song. The callbacks to Chokehold in it is awesome too!

'No one told me not to Breathe' fuck that got me.

[@thatguy_5240]

I've always said Sleep Token is "post-metal". They experiment with different sounds and textures and ideas while being based in traditional metal elements. They have such a broad sound, I think this is the best way to describe them if you absolutely had to give them a genre

[@JesusFriedChrist]

I’ve always thought of them being euphoric metal. Every song evokes so much emotion, from the highs to the lows, it’s a euphoric experience.

[@michelleroque2485]

I really appreciate y'alls reaction. The whole time I was giggling just waiting for the last 30secs and how it punches you in the face. The lyrics for this band are really important to understanding the whole story/concept. They do a lot of callbacks to other songs on this album and older material. So far I've found two/three intertwining stories. The comparison to TOOL I think is very spot on and reflects people's reactions to this band, like you either love them or you hate them. I for one am obsessed. Worship.

[@UnXplainable1]

This is the impact of Sleep Token. It may now be every song when it happens, but there’s at least one in the catalog that’ll hit even the hardest among us. Lyrically, there’s none better and I’ll stand by that. Vessel is a master of metaphor. Here’s an example from another song: “Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong.” Perfection. Guys, “Ascensionism” is the track for you. For me, that and “Take Me Back to Eden” are on the same level. A total experience. Worship.

[@dthendrick1]

I love Will Ramos and his Sleep Token cover, but to say he did Sleep Token better than Vessel is a ridiculous take, in my opinion of course. Love your guys reactions but that is a nuts take for me to wrap my head around, I also discovered Sleep Token around the time Will did his cover, so I'm not a longtime fan. I liked Wills cover, but the moment I heard the original I could never hear Wills cover the same. Not hating in yall, that take is just genuinely crazy to me, to each his own, though.

[@zink6379]

I promise you won't regret diving into this band further. I second all the suggestions for Ascensionism. Also, Dark Signs from their first album, Sundowning, also has some of the hip hop sounds to it. Did you pick up on "it was no accident" (callback to Chokehold) during the end when it was building to that final breakdown?

[@jhinetix7328]

Ascensionism is definitely the next song you guys should react to. It has a lot of similarities to this song but it's definitely different enough to be its own masterpiece.

Take me back to Eden, what Eden is described as, mixed with the other lines is what causes me to grab "Take me back to when I was happy" Or something along those lines. Its beautiful

Vessel is definitely an amazing lyricist. I'm sure on a second-listen you probably caught "When we were made, It was no accident, We were tangled up like branches in a flood," lyrics from Chokehold, were woven into TMBTE at the end ... beautiful!

I keep getting these chills when listening to sleep token. It’s like one constant chill that doesn’t end but for different reasons.

Yep. This one bite my man Kyle. Impossible to miss that.

[@DataLupus]

I'm the exact same as you guys, I originally heard Will's covers of Hypnosis and Chokehold and I wasnt a fan of the originals at all, but then I heard The Summoning which hooked me instantly, I went back and listened to those couple of songs afterwards and now I'm obsessed with their whole discography 😂 but I highly recommend Ascensionism, I feel like you'd both appreciate that one in particular!

[@ReXtion88]

I fucking love this band and I still sometimes need to hear a song of theirs a second or third time to hit home. It's entirely possible that you will get more in tune with what Sleep Token are doing in songs you've already heard on coming back to them. Incredibly special band. If you want to hear another song of theirs that taps into some of the same feeling, for Kyle especially, I highly recommend checking out High Water. The emotional impact that song has is unbelievable, and it's not received nearly enough attention so far

[@FreeAtlas.]

I agree with Eric that they just didn’t hit that spot in my brain but after a few days I came back and now I’m hooked. It’s well worth looking into their story. Vessel being visited by the deity sleep and the songs are worship from vessel to Sleep

Sleep Token is just built different. The way they put a song together is unmatched.

I've been on the Fence, I've heard this rack Thrice, and I already was hooked on Chokehold. This redaction made me listen Deeper, and I'm a Rich Miner. Golden Thanks.

This is one of the rare bands that truly has a discography worth a full, in-depth listen. This album is the completion of a trilogy, so there's a lot of context that adds a whole other level of appreciation to their music.

"No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence" and it ends how it ends?

My daughter introduced this song to me on a cruise we do and shit this hits different!!❤

I feel like those parts where the lyric is no amount of love will keep it around etc is so brilliant because it puts the listener into their own head about the song. Its so subjective in the subject because everybody will transport to a different memory or attach a specific feeling to them to this song. Its superb song writing and one of the best bodies of work sleeptoken has done

Nothing beats an emotional metal ballad : sleep token are phenomenal. Bloody hell of a song ! 💥♥️

So what Kyle said in relation to listening to some music and letting it sort of take you or take you over... I forgot how he put it. But there is some music that when you listen to it utterly changes your brain chemistry. It takes you from a depressive state into euphoria. There's music that takes you from you for you into a calm and peaceful place. What's weird about sleep token is that it seems to be able to do that with every single song in a certain way. The album's a roller coaster of emotion. It's deep. It resonates with lots of people surprisingly enough that you have people that listen to one song, thinking they're never going to give it a chance, and they fall in love with it. But this is music as a whole. Music can take you places. Often time those places are wonderful. Sometimes those places can be dark. It's odd that sleep token can kind of do both at the same time. All I know is is this, putting my headphones on and listening to the album is a joy and a pleasure.

I love that this is like three different songs in one. It’s a fugging masterpiece

[@alexedison1029]

I've never cried so much and related to an album so much till I listened to this sleep token. There last album was pretty good but this one, skyrocketed as my top favorite of the year...it's unlike anything I've ever heard. They are also great live band too 😁

[@rodolforojas8691]

I love watching your videos and even more so when they are from Sleep Token because I feel like I am there with you as if we were friends enjoying our favorite band. I am from Mexico and the city where I am from is very difficult to find someone who enjoys metal and currently I have not found anyone to share this genre with. I wish you the best and keep uploading more reactions!

9:44 It gets me every time as well…what an emotional rollercoaster

[@chloeillustrates4703]

This was the first time I've ever listened to Take me Back To Eden and it just shot shivers down my spine; it's beautiful and amazing; they really know what they were doing.

[@mattthompson5908]

These songs had hidden callbacks to other songs too. Like this one says there was no accident which was in chokehold

[@Trollensky]

I'm a recent sleep token fan because of this album, I love it.
