Sleepthief with Zoe Johnston and Coury Palermo - Reason Why

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

haha. That "t-uh" was because when Zoe sang one of the passes, she ended the word "tonight" with a very heavy "t-uh" at the end. When we shot the video, the ending hadn't been mixed, so it was still in there. She was basically making fun of herself. I thought it was hilarious in the video, and so left it in.

[@Bobbiethejean]

That poor, poor replay button. I've been beattin the crap out of it for like, the past hour. :P Oh and that little goof they do at the end cracked me up for some reason. It's adorable.

[@philipcole5373]

This song deserves about 100x the views it has

[@johnlindi8382]

Zoë Johnston has always captivated and enthralled me with her voice, and Coury Palermo Blends right in with her like they’re one voice that is ages old, Like an echo from the beginning of time. I first heard this song in 2016 after my partner Stephen passed suddenly and far before his time, and listening to this both made me weep with inconsolable grief, and filled me with joy giving me strength and great comfort,and I would like to thank you, Sleepthief for bringing together those two voices to give your muse wings so it could soar to my wounded heart and heal me. I am forever in your debt for that.

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Wow John-- your message really moved me. I am just so honored that this song was there for you in a time of incredible need. Nothing could be more sacred to me! I hope your heart has recovered somewhat. I firmly believe our loved ones are always near....

[@Usagimi]

Actually, that's the Provo Tabernacle. The video can't have been recorded more than a few months before it burned to the ground in December 2010. That makes this song seem like a nice memorial to an historical and lovely building.

[@moutushimandal1262]

Usagi Miyamoto

[@Littleprinceleon]

and whats the REASON WHY?

[@Littleprinceleon]

it has been perfectly rebuild since then... :)

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Coury and Zoe both sing their own verses at the beginning. Then, their voices start blending in the chorus. In the final verse, it is both of them together singing the verse, prechorus and chorus. I love the way they sound together. And thank you for the nice comment!

[@kelley9382]

They are both absolutely angelic and so is the music; it's all simply stunning.

[@jamiehaines9756]

So so beautiful

[@eldorta]

This piece of art is way underrated. It should have millions of views. Such a lovely song. Thanks for the music.

[@anastasismusic]

we need good songs like this!!! simple, atmospheric, melodic...... all sleepthief's songs have these characteristics....THANK YOU

[@evaisabellagmagyar6173]

Listening to this beautiful music 🎶 its 2021 So thankful to find it here on KZbin . 🎶🕊💕

[@duron700r]

She is. I had never seen this before. listened to it hundreds of times. Hundreds. This was eye opening. Thank you Zoey and Coury

[@AlphaGeminorum1]

Zoë is one of the most important singers in Trance today. And even in THIS genre! Is there nothing she can't do and do well?

[@Greywolft]

A couple of years ago, I packed my cancer, pain, and what I could fit into my car, and I walked away from my marriage and almost everyone and everything I knew. Six hundred and Ninety some days later and this song is as relevant and poignant now as it was when I first heard it. Thanks for giving me something to hold onto during those nights when it's almost too much to bear.

[@essexlad8151]

Deep man! You still holding on?

[@tobingreywolf]

@@essexlad8151 Not only hanging on but thriving, and now cancer free. Thanks for asking, kind stranger!

[@MrAlexm0711]

This song is absolutely amazing, going through tough times right now, i go to bootcamp this summer.., my girlfriend, my soulmate, has to move..., and i know i want to be with her forever and this song makes me realize it more and more after i listen to it, i dont know what id do without her... I Love You Taylor C.

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Tobin--thank you for your words...I cannot express to you how much I appreciate what you have gone through, and I feel so honored to be a small part of your life--even through the most hard to bear moments. Know that I care!!

[@tekkentekken]

ZOE PLEASE MAKE MORE SONGS!!!!!!!! . Ive already listened to all of your songs a billion times

[@yoplaitmajor]

Outstanding song. But the stars here (much respect Mr. Elswick!!) are Coury and Zoe. Their harmonies postively haunt the melody and dangle it from a celestial place. The song breathes a hopeful sadness and energizes my soul -- BRAVO on your choice of vocalists!

[@mobius3001]

this song is so, so beautiful it makes me cry. Thankyou, Justin.

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Oh thank you so much Allan. It is a personal favorite for some very personal reasons and so I’m very glad it resonates with people emotionally!

[@AFYAGHIRISH]

...when a soul makes the difference, creates beauty, harmony like this music, everyone that listen it touch a new world of peace and love... this music transport me to a better place, relax me and transform my day... You Justin is a great talent, this is the reality !!! hugs. s.a.g.

[@godaiyusaku524]

! ! ! ! meravigliosa ! ! ! !

[@windigo44]

I photographed the Tabernacle in stages as it burned. I'm glad this got filmed inside there before that - sweet voices here seem more angelic, elegaic now. From one JRCLS alum to another - thank u for this piece of aural/visual art. Beautiful time capsule.

[@michaelhyndman4879]

Love Zoe's vocals and prescence ❤️

[@dennisblanco8156]

Every note and melodies of your piano pulled all the pain in me.

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Very touched all of you--thank you so much!

[@stevenhazelbaker635]

Can't get enough of this song! Play it over and over! Thanks Justin

[@L4nott]

The roof of the Provo tabernacle was destroyed by fire this morning. Thank you Justin for preserving some memories of this beloved structure. And I loved the video BEFORE!

[@yasmindiab]

Have I really never commented on this before? For shame!! One of my very favorite songs of all time. One of the first that I heard from Coury, as I was already a big Sleepthief fan, and the moment I recognized Zoe from her work with Faithless...I was done for. This song...I've heard it a million times, and it makes me cry every single time. Would love for the 3 of you to collaborate again.... hint hint Justin. ;) Love you all!!

[@KleenezeDon]

Absolutely the best from Justin, Coury and Zoe. Brilliant song, perfect video.

[@ThePensive8]

I cannot get enough of this song! Pure and real, wrapped around the emotional essence of the soul through harmonic beauty!

[@irisiris4evr]

still love it in 2020, no matter your religious affiliation

[@GDePannis]

"some things should not be said 'cause they could never be the truth" ... can't get it out of my head. Excellent... Zoe's voice is melting me...

[@TheEchovoices]

tearssssssssssssss looked everywhere for this song ty so much love it so much grabs heart so much.

[@pskcatlet]

Justin - this song touches me so very much. It is the most played song on my ipod. The vocal chemistry between Coury and Zoe is fantastic, and of course - your talent on the piano shines as it does on its own.

[@JeanneAster]

ПРЕКРАСНО!!!!!JE SUIS VOTRE FAN POUR TOUJOURS....VOTRE JEANNE ASTER

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

You can get it at the official Sleepthief site online. Right now, that is the only place to purchase the digital tracks. However, all of the albums and singles will be back up on I-tunes and Amazon worldwide (and physical CDs will be available too) this month.

[@Dan7ei]

This made weep. Just recently broke up with someone I cared for and this touched a chord. You three, Justin, Coury, and Zoe made such a beautiful piece. Breathless.

[@kelley9382]

I still fully adore this. 💘

[@Me-vy1qw]

This song is all I need.

[@Mel.LilBear]

This is beautiful, both voices so melodic. My mom just passed away, i miss her and can't sleep so i lay awake without her. I don't have a heart or a reason to be until i met a guy and i hope it works out cause i been alone for 4 years now. I really want this to work and my mom would want me to be happy. I would have never met him without this the loss of my mother. I lost my heart without her and now maybe i can get it back piece by piece. Thank you for this absolutely beautiful song. What a gift to be able to be so talented

[@simonondimu]

Discovered this gem today and believe me, i bet i won't be the last one to discover it...timeless classic...

[@CorbinAllred]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the ambiance. This music resonates deeply with me right now as I've found somebody I feel for in this way more and more as each day passes. Glad I found this tonight! Interestingly enough, it's 3:13am and she is very much on my mind, as is my possible future with her. Thanks, Justin!

[@whereswaldo777]

Thanks Sleepthief, Zoe, and Coury! Now I can't stop thinking about her! >.

[@scottplain3364]

I am a FAN !!!

[@Lisasue39]

Justin, you should do a concert with all of the singers you featured on your cds or even a tv concert. That would be awsome.

[@ernieBMX]

beautiful song sang by coury and zoe! i can relate to this song so much becuz i really donthave a heart without my baby:'( ima show her this song in hopes of bringing her back to me

[@dakkson]

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG

[@Misskargisize]

I wish there was a link to Tolita Hostias. It's the most impressive version of that song I've heard!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

[@retros26]

Just found your music and totally addicted! This song if beautiful just what I needed after a stormy month! Answers to a prayer. Thank you!!

[@sc4351]

Underrated 💗

[@BUweB]

What a wonderful Piano Song - sung with so much PASSIONE ♥

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@retros26 I appreciate hearing that so much. I am always truly flattered and amazed that my music might be special to someone out there. :)

[@takenby4force]

beautiful! That church is amazing!! Those cathedrals have wonderful acoustics!

[@apawstate]

Their voices are so velvety smooth.

[@clemsd]

Just discovered this track yesterday... I'm speechless! This is absolutely beautiful, the work on the vocal harmonies is just incredible and Coury and Zoe's voices are perfectly matching together. Thank you!!!!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Thank you!! Glad you found the music.

[@ferencjuhasz7272]

Very good very good very good! Their voices are amazing. I Love You Zoe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@Littleprinceleon]

hálisten nem veszett ki minden magyarból a zenei ízlés... :)

[@BoiledOctopus]

Johnston should be a solo artist. Her voice is spine-tingling.

[@createteria]

She did put out an album in 2005, called HAPPENSTANCES. It's mostly acoustic home demos, so not what fans of her work here (or with Delirium, Faithless, etc.) would expect.

[@mkroeger7728]

She is a solo

[@darkeyedlegend]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@fkmetiff]

Play every day, best recording of all time

[@aliveonadream]

Amazing! This is by far one of the best songs EVER! Great video to go with it! Love seeing behind the scenes!

[@ANGELSVEN]

So beautiful, Justin.

[@luiseduardosantos819]

Troy JK I did a new track with him for my new album called ZERO SUM-- very excited about it.

[@DmitryZ1970]

Зое, ты самая лучшая!

[@trancelover77m]

I love this song, your voices go good together and Coury you are a cutie pie.

[@evelynde75]

I discovered that song today, really beautiful

[@perry801]

Awesome, awesome song! Beautifully sung and produced. I first heard it on "In The Mood Music" a New Age music channel and had to send them an e-mail to tell me who it was because I just had to have the song. Gorgeous harmonies. Who are these people and why aren't they famous?

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@adorkablee808 This song has such a very private personal meaning for me when I wrote it, so I am so grateful that the feelings behind the song have found a spot in your heart.

[@AubreyBTC]

Haven't heard voices this beautiful in a long time. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing such beauty us.

[@djvandrake]

An absolutely beautiful song, well performed by all. A joy to listen to and to watch in this video. Thanks. :)

[@DarkKnight906]

The vocal layering in this song is just incredible, Zoe and Coury are in perfect synch :D

[@iunee]

I'm coming back again and again to watch the video and listen to the song... it's so amazing. I hope I am not the only one who sings along... What's the "t-uh" at the ending, though? It looks funny everytime :)

[@rirtoledos]

heavenly!!

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@L4nott I was just really sad to hear that such a beautiful building was destroyed, and I am SO glad I captured this on video before it burned.

[@humanizer12345]

[@BreannaMae]

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Thank you all. I love Coury and Zoe, this it makes me feel really good to look back on the recording of this song together.
