THE BEGINNING!! | "One" FULL REACTION | SLEEP TOKEN

[@silentamarok7089]

When The Bough Breaks is my fave off the first EP

[@sarahpelosi4213]

Fun fact. When recording, vessel does ALL vocals, piano guitar and base, and II does the drums. III and IV only play base and guitar during live shows. Can't wait till you get to TWO .. Nazareth, Calcutta, and Jericho are absolutely phenomenal. Especially Nazareth... It's very dark and aggressive. Can't wait for more Sleep Token content! 🤘🤘🤘

[@theprojectjango]

Thats intense!

[@jcandnp]

Question about that, Sarah…I thought it was just the writing credits for all instruments (minis drums) were V’s. Do we know for a fact that iii and iv don’t even come into the studio to record the parts that V has written? And yeah Jango, keep up the fine work sir. Your reactions are all great, I think partly cuz you’re willing to investigate and digest some of the lore and theories before letting the music take you where it will. I think that balance is really wise, especially for the appreciation of the whole discography in context.

[@jcandnp]

Also Jango, you might really enjoy the ST interpretation videos of Alex Tamulis on his channel. That guy digs into some of the deeper layers for sure!

[@tracyraines1059]

Pete from Chevelle did the same thing as vessel for the on the last Chevelle album. And they have a bassist t that played with them live for a couple of tours think he's still with them. Pete is a very talented guy with an amazing voice to. I love vessel and Pete they both are amazing.

[@tracyraines1059]

Another fun fact about this EP is that is was self produced and released by sleep token themselves. And he did the same thing with his previous EPs before sleep token. He has been doing it by himself since at least 2013. I don't know why they even need a record label cuz they could totally do it without one.

[@JaffaIrons183]

You're the best Sleep Token analysis and reaction channel. Not done just because they got viral, but clear love of the music. Watching you is like me rediscovering them all over again.

[@theprojectjango]

Wow. Thank you so much!

[@jeksun1580]

26:14 "oh hes pissed" sums it up perfectly

[@DanSkinny]

JANGOOOOOO love to see the commitment! The EP’s are the precious darlings of every long time Sleep Token fan’s collection. They definitely deserve more love and we love to see you shining a light on it!

[@theprojectjango]

I'm having a blast listening to these songs. 🤘

[@davidjohnson9132]

Best ST reaction ever. Instant sub. Can’t wait to watch all the rest. I’ve never seen someone else so effortlessly get the existential and literal experience of Sleep Token. Let’s go! 🙌🏻

[@theprojectjango]

Wow, thank you!

[@liquidaudio_]

"I stumbled across this band and fell in love with their music".....yeah that's exactly what happened to me. Frickin insane group. Worship.

[@idontknow-vq9hu]

Youre the first reactor ive seen ever start from the absolute beginning, thats badass lol very admirable

[@theprojectjango]

I HAD to see where it all began.

[@larrycable1827]

Can't wait till get all the way through to Euclid. Your gonna shit ya pants and ugly cry at the same time. I know i did😂

[@theprojectjango]

So basically what happens to me after I eat Taco Bell.

[@larrycable1827]

@projectjango the usual stomach poisoning as usual I suppose. No taco bells In the uk

[@ashleybooker4420]

There's actually a prequel to their story found under ancient Canopies in a Blacklit paradise iykyk

[@AaronSmithDrums]

23:00 I think you just cracked the code. I was gonna comment on your Ascensionism video that their music feels very much like movies/shows do (the best ones at least). the way he plays with tension and release seems to be as loose as that format of storytelling. anyway he can tell his story, he figures it out. regardless of the “box” that music has created a formula in. he figured out the most beautiful way to tell his story through music. I feel like people who are big into video games or anime (you seem like you might be), understand ST almost instantly lol. he does bliss and agony so well man. you can truly feel it. I love that as well as this music is written for his first EP (👀), you can still tell he’s peeling back the first couple layers of himself in the form of music. you’ll really appreciate the evolution of Vessel and his band as you continue. I love your lyric analysis’ too. I’m not a huge fan of people giving their interpretation of lyrics while the song is still playing, but 27:00 is a perfect example of why it works for you. your timing is great. looking forward to Two 🫡 worship.

[@theprojectjango]

I have a strong pull towards music that "disobey" traditional "rules". I also LOVE the way the music in this EP seem to follow an emotional narrative (knowing what I know now). Also yes, Video game & Anime nerd and proud. 🤘😂

[@oviate1]

Most of us randomly stumbled onto them. The earlier stuff is very different from what you’ve heard so far. Very atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful. As you take the journey and familiarize yourself with their catalog, you’ll catch a lot of references throughout Take Me Back To Eden.

[@andrewj3398]

We’re here to experience the journey with you!

[@Calirohe]

It is really cool watching you falling in love with this band, I am looking forward to the next step of your journey through the beautiful landscape they paint through their music :)

[@robotwaifuengineer]

Worship.

[@tracyraines1059]

I think it's about him giving himself completely to someone or to his"(god/goddess/ sleep). In the first song.

[@Dilly-Winkus]

I'm super excited to see you react to more Sleep Token, thanks for the upload!!

[@theprojectjango]

Glad you enjoyed it!! 🤘

[@tracyraines1059]

Feels of elation i get the feeling that he has become very addicted to how he feels when he is in the presence of sleep/ or the lover that is the onject of his desire

[@llSplice]

Loving the deep dive brother. Worship

[@tracyraines1059]

I believe this video is the first ritual for vessel summoning sleep maybe after that dream where sleep came to hook.

[@patrick2389]

Loved this reaction! Please keep doing more and continue with Two and then the LP's Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb

[@theprojectjango]

Thank you! Will do! 🤘

[@maximilianschmidt424]

Crazyyy goooood… crazyyyyy. Love them. Worship

[@ninja3687]

Two is when they really find their sound and things start to get interesting. It also has one of my favorite ST songs; Nazareth.

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

Nazareth is amazing, and definitely a climatic chapter in the lore. 🫣

[@yevheniia_zinko]

From my 5 year old son seeing Thread the Needle: "This man (Vessel) perhaps from the Moon"😁 Can't disagree, Vessel is cosmic for sure💙 This EP is not special for me, it is beyond special😁, like every ST album.

[@theprojectjango]

From the moon seems accurate!

[@tracyraines1059]

There is a line in this song that calls back to a song from his previous work "turn r lights down come on and find out"

[@sandcake]

Sadly there is only one live video from 'When The Bough Breaks'. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. So raw. I watched it at least 100 times. The way he sings "don't you lie to me" is so insanely good. Later he screams it. I would give everything for a recorded version of this beauty. Please enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKDWZmeverqIq5Isi=BTQ86cI4zc4Vp59X Worship ❤

[@rsggbambino2710]

I came across that the other day and it's absolutely terrifying and horrific yet like you said so beautiful and raw. The way the camera shakes as vessel spread his arms the Improv with the scream the way he hunches over the keyboard. It's just great and I've been looking for sleep token all my life.

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

I love watching people fall in love with ST. Their EPs are great. One is hauntingly beautiful, Two is completely different but I love both. Nazareth is my favourite so I can’t wait till you do Two 🖤

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

This was Vessels original mask. He’s on the fourth one now 🖤

[@paravarium]

Thread the Needle hits on a whole other level knowing that his lover was deeply into embroidery art. The apple and references to Eden were there from the start. The album cover is apple blossoms

[@jcandnp]

I’m pretty sure I know who his lover was, but where did you get this info about them loving embroidery? That would be incredible if true!

[@paravarium]

She has a Twitter dedicated to her embroidery art work

[@jcandnp]

@@paravarium I did a little digging and saw that. But the pics don’t look like the same person from BC…couldn’t it just be someone with the same name? In the UK that’s probably not an uncommon name.

[@ripeorangesound]

"Bough" not "bow". "When the bough breaks" is a line from a nursery rhyme called "rock a bye baby". Run with that and lines from other songs (crimson on the carpet, future daughters, etc) obviously I could be way off track but the title is what it is

[@AsAbove.SoBelow]

When the bough breaks crushes me every time I listen to it. I even got chills with your reaction. Well done.

[@angryasianjim]

I can’t wait to see the full journey. I really like how you break down the lyrics. I was happy to see that you were able to separate 6 years of difference in experience/musicality. They’ve grown sooooo well. One is good. Two is (in my opinion) better. Then we run into the trilogy. Great band. Great reaction. Sub earned.

[@tracyraines1059]

When the bough breaks is definitely about sex the first couple lines is definitely is. "Just tell me that you noticed even in the dark the way i left you breathing" that to me is probably the sexiest line out of all the sleep token songs.

[@DarthJAYder21]

Dude, there is the apple!!!! From the take me back to Eden video where the angel of death is holding the apple. Could this be Eden for Vessel? The place he wants to go back to?

[@StarStuffGal321]

Really enjoying your Sleep Token journey! Like your breakdowns and glad you started at the beginning!

[@wil17am]

The long hair was meant to headbang to only Sleep Token music!

[@NijFix]

When The Bough Breaks is just awesome. You can hear the Bristol music scene influence in this early stuff (Massive Attack/Tricky/Portishead vibe). If they went back to reengineer these eps as Tool did with Opiate single, would be incredible.

[@RoswellContinuum]

I can’t wait to see how you react to two

[@adelhassan2834]

Man, going all the way through the beginning is just something else 🙌🏼

[@Thatskatermetalgirl]

Omg im 6mths late but so glad to see someone start with the EP!👏🏼🤩

[@ashleybooker4420]

The fields of elation video you watched was actually the first version of that song that the initially released before the EP. The final EP version had some adjusted tones and mixing which I think sounds better

[@SunnyHathSpokenLies]

I am pretty late, but for your information. The EP one is far from being his first work. Before creating Sleep Token he was in in a duet from 2013 to 2015 called Blacklit Canopy. Pretty much every big fans know about it. Even if this comment "reveals" who he is (even tho it's not realy a secret anymore since you can find easily who he is without searching too long), it's just beatiful music and I encourage anyone to have a listen cause it's so freaking good. Vesel is a god damn genious with lyrics.
