SLEEP TOKEN - Blood Sport (Reaction and Analysis!)

The final song on Sundowning and the final song of my Sleep Token trilogy retrospective...it's fitting that we end with my favorite of Vessel's performances. Thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey through the emotional rollercoaster that is Sleep Token's music!

Thank you so much for doing all of this track-by-track analysis for the trilogy of Sleep Token. It has really helped me consider and collect all of my own ideas. I totally agree with you that this version is ‘better’ than the album version, which I believe was originally intended to be the last track on the EP ‘Three’ that never happened. I also agree that Vessel is battling with himself here. I think it’s an internal struggle that plays a crucial part throughout the trilogy and before. W O R S H I P

Great analysis of a incredible performance of a beautiful song. I genuinly feel like Vessel is a modern musical and lyrical genius. I haven't heard lyrics even close to this in years.. Maybe ever.

Interesting and thoughtful lyrics really can elevate a band in my eyes. There are a lot of really musically talented bands out there with pretty cliche or boring lyrics. Lyricism isn't easy!

Both versions of the song are equally emotional and well done. Welcome to the ST worm hole. Worship

This version is the best

This song moves me *every* *time* and I think you captured all of the magical nuance that rips open our hearts each time. Great *real* reaction and analysis. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and time making this. More people need to get on board with the vulnerability that artists like ST pours their hearts into.

Glad you enjoyed it! This is such a special performance, and I wish more artists would post high-quality intimate sets like this.

[@bennyharderguitar]

It’s perfect.

Not the superior version of the song,, maybe the more intimate. If they didn't show Vessel singing I don't think it would be as preferred. Album has more instrumental parts to develop the song. Vessel plays more piano and the crying at the end............masterpiece. This version is okay though.

[@BreakingBeard-yv2qt]

I love both versions for different reasons, I just feel the lonely sound of this version fits more with the theme of the song than the album version. But the instrumentals do go hard on the album version!

[@richardbowlin8404]

This version is way better

[@richardbowlin8404]
