Sleep Token - Euclid | REACTION AND ANALYSIS

[@emmafletcher9189]

Non sleep token fans: yay this is up lifting and happy. Sleep token fans: crying our eyes out. This still makes me emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, thank you.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!

[@FanDethklok]

I'm wasn't even a Sleep Tolken fan before hearing this recently and cried. I didn't even know any of the callbacks to other songs, and thank God for that because I'd really have a breakdown, lol.

[@emmafletcher9189]

@@FanDethklok I only found them this February, vessels lyrics normally have double meanings, rain and granite on this album are my favourites, although if you're interested in getting to know the band - start at the beginning. Xx

[@chris.nanite]

This song will always make me emotional no matter how many times I replay it

[@madhya]

I found the band in 2018 through the Two EP, but didnt truly get into them until I heard TNDNBTG when Sundowning was releasing -- this was right around the time I began my freshman year of college. Fell in love through that track. TMBTE came out two days before my graduation commencement ceremony. I never thought I would graduate. The reprise at the end of this track took me right back through 5 years of difficult times all at once. You bet your ass I bawled my eyes out. No shame.

Great reaction 🔥 WORSHIP 🤘🇧🇷

[@JasonCardona-y8d]

Listening to Euclid feels like that relief you get when you're on the verge of accepting something you couldn't at first. You held on for too long, thinking that 'something' or 'someone' is the only thing there is in this life that has value and meaning. But it's gone. But you refuse to accept it, until holding becomes heavier. So you let go. You begin to accept. Finally. Realizing that letting go will also allow that 'something' or 'someone' go somewhere else for good. Somehow acceptance tastes sweet...for a moment, at least. But here we are, finally getting into terms with everything, finally getting the Math. Hence, Euclid, the father of Geometry, a branch of Math(ematics). And for the last time, you bargain...for a token...'give me the night'...asking for a souvenir as a consolation, give me a night to dream about how everything was... please give me, sleep and that token of a sweet dreams of still having that 'something' or 'someone'.

[@AdamStraughan]

Fantastically worded

[@frostfang1]

"Leave me the stardust to remember you by"

[@brianalmeida1964]

I had the exact same reaction! Once I heard all the references to The Night Does Not Belong To God and When The Bough Breaks, I started to cry too. The song felt like the last song you get at the movies when the end credits roll. Great reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@ndnd2023]

Not to forget the Easter eggs elluding to previous music projects involving Vessel.

[@brianalmeida1964]

@@ndnd2023 Yep, that too!

[@mickporter84]

When you know the trilogy and this finishes the final album with the closing of the circle back to Sundowning its just perfection. Never experienced anything like it in music.

[@AdamStraughan]

Very much this!

[@flwdyy]

Summarized it perfectly.... everyone before listening to sleep token: "oh whats this, sleep token? sure ill try it, how bad can it be?" after: "omg, thats literally the best song.. ive ever heard.. wtf :') "

[@jacobwesterman5236]

Euclid was also a mathematician.... the father of geommetry...... symmetry as vessel mentioned in the song, run it back, running forward, a parallel........ Not to mention the way the vocals are layered at the end is the same layering style that was used in The Night Does Not Belong to God....... layering verse and chorus together.

[@Josephine0388]

I'm only discovered Sleep Token about 4 days ago. Ironically, on TikTok, while scrolling. And they captured my ear immediately, it was Alkaline. I listened to Euclid, made me close my eyes and just...be there, with the music. They are so good, lyrically, musically wise. So different and so good. Thank you for a good reaction!

[@edelwiess2306]

I do recommend listening to the first song on the first album - The night does not belong to God, so you get the full experience of Euclid 😊. Welcome aboard the ST train!

[@Josephine0388]

@@edelwiess2306 Thank you, will definitely do so!

[@makenzycottrell]

The callback to blood sport, “and do you still believe that nothing else matters?”, GETS ME every single time. Tears. Was blessed enough to make it to the Pomona show in CA night one, found myself on Euclid Street and knew I was where I needed to be.

[@AdamStraughan]

I bet the show was amazing

[@robotwaifuengineer]

This song brought me to my knees when I heard it for the first time, weeping as the crushing weight of the story was lifted off of my shoulders. Worship.

[@AdamStraughan]

Worship

[@sylverscreamqueen]

Such an authentic and beautiful reaction Euclid is such a bittersweet emotionally stirring song It's damn near as flawless as music can get Worship 🙌🖤

[@collierpeoples1918]

Vessel's victory cry!!! Just too good!!

[@Laura_M8]

The first line Vessel sings: just run it back give me 5 more minutes. This song is like 5 minutes! Genius. This band really has my heart. Beautiful reaction. 💔🤍

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!

[@shdw.206]

Just checking, but when you say trio are you referring to Euclid, bloodsport and TNDNBTG? Also doesnt Jaws and When the bough breaks tie in to that trio? Quintuplet? Lol

[@AdamStraughan]

@@shdw.206 I meant the journey of all 3 albums, but this is great point!

[@ndnd2023]

This album is just a triumph all round.

[@inescunha8449]

I have listened to this song countless times and I'm still finding connections I haven't before. The song has 2 parts, like 2 parallels, that come towards the end a overlap, creating something new, from something "old". In addition if we look at Euclid's axioms they are all about equals, symmetry and "the whole is greater than the part". May or may not be their intention but that's what art is anyway, interpretation and connection.

[@edelwiess2306]

It’s great to see a reaction to Euclid by someone who knows the back catalogue and can truly appreciate what is contained within it. It brought back all of the emotions I felt on first listening too. I’m going to make a Sleep Token tissue packet pouch for the show at Wembley, just in case! 😅

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much!

[@Edd25164605]

Fantastic Album. That final section where vessel layers his voice makes my spine tingle 🎶 👍

[@AdamStraughan]

Yessss very much this

[@laurelanneselby2801]

Awwsome reaction, it took me 6 months to hear Euclid and not choke up, still makes my heart race, feel every note in my veins and smile. 🙏

[@AdamStraughan]

Absolutely that! It’s incredible. I talk about it here too - kzbin.infouTbjtBvWItY?feature=share

[@nickwait5260]

I don't think there's any way I could agree more with you on Euclid being one of the best songs ever heard/written. It is literally perfect. I've heard Euclid about 500 times at this point and every time I just end up in tears by the end. Musical perfection ❤️

[@craigus1991]

I was reduced to a sobbing puddle the first time I heard this. There’s a lot of parallels (no pun intended) that I could make with my life and its trajectory at the time. I’d been through a lot of adversity between 2021-23 and this song came in to my life as the light was beginning to shine at the end of the tunnel. The line, “I must be someone new”, hit me like a truck. The whole trilogy has culminated in this five minute masterpiece that allows us all to feel a sense of acceptance and being able to start healing. The wounds I have are still healing from that era of my life, but I found Sleep Token in the earlier days of it and they have carried me through it all. Things always get harder before they get better. The autumn leaves metaphor that symbolises change and acceptance really solidified that idea for me. 10/10 song 15/10 album. 🤘🏻🖤 Great reaction! 👍🏻

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you! Yes, that line hit me too

[@giovanniperlati4164]

That's exactly how I felt when I heard this song.

Fantastic, honest reaction. Such an emotional song 😢 just perfect to finish off the 3rd album.

[@JosefLawakeli]

Not crying to this is an impossibility

[@LiteralGray]

Euclid will be my favorite Sleep Token song forever, no matter what sees the most time in my rotation; this trilogy saved my life, changed my outlook, and gave me the means to love myself. It's always the most heartening to see another person who knows the trilogy hear this song for the first time. Worship!

[@AdamStraughan]

Worship! And thank you for sharing

[@huha123]

The robotic voice of "give me 5 minutes" takes exactly 5 minutes to the end of the song.

[@Barapus]

I absolutely loved this reaction! It's so wonderful to see someone really feel and understand the music in such a deep almost primordial way. It's really special and too few people really really feel this. That said, I have a question, What is one song that you would give anything to hear for the first time again. I think it's such an important question for everyone to think about because it really speaks to your life. For me, It's Eden- Rock+Roll. Give it a listen sometime!

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you! Thats a great question, I’d have to think on that!

[@saradapagediocletian9707]

I'm not a Sleep Token expert but to me this is Vessel letting Sleep go. When he sings to Sleep in past songs there's a degree of clawing and desperation which seems to release in Euclid. He's acklowleding what he had with Sleep and that he loves him but he can't continue.

[@AdamStraughan]

Interesting interpretation, I can see that! God I love this song haha

I keep coming back to this reaction because it reminds me what music can do to someone if it’s really special, and watching it happen to someone is just so cathartic ❤

I detect disgenuine reactions. You have probably heard this track before recording this Video.

There is nothing inauthentic about any of my reactions. If I have heard them before and am simply giving my thoughts on them, I always state that in the video. My first time emotional reaction here is real, you believe whatever you want

[@Conduit2Christ84]

Im 40. Old school, euclid reminds me of deftones "mx" a perfect circle "brena" reminds me being a young guy in love . Now im old and cynical. And this song literally filled me with hope, supposed to get married next year. And we Are opposites, not sure its anything other than convience, the song is also about 2 paralells never finding the path to come together. Yeah all over the place, but romance is there , just not here...

[@moneypants]

Totally agree - a favorite ALL TIME song

[@whatabout9]

I love Sleep Token. Thanks for being so diverse in the music you react too. Can you please react to Dark by October Ends please?

Oh man great shout! October Ends are from the same place as me in the UK. Big fan!
