The Haunting Beauty of Sleep Token's 'Take Me Back To Eden'

[@trowabarton222]

The amount of people who saw me driving home From Charlotte this weekend singing along to this album is probably astronomical.

[@slickdaddyobi_]

Same leaving Charlotte blasting this

[@JariJuslin]

I like the symbolism of the bird sounds on the beginning. On first glance they seem like sounds of an actual paradise. And then when you listen more closely you notice they are actually more like digital glitches, a synthesizer programmed to break in a way that resembles a bird. And when you consider the subject matter of the song, something natural and beautiful being actually artificial and twisted when you dig deeper really fits the theme. Sleep Token makes art. Nothing is an after-thought, all the aspects and layers are results of careful design.

This album is such a roller coaster of emotion, by the end I feel like i took the journey with Vessel

[@13lueBerryBluntz]

Unrequited love. Painful longing. Melancholy. Grief and anguish. All humans experience these things throughout our lives and that's why I think Vessels lyrics hit so hard for all of us.

[@marcoingro]

Loved your reaction! It's amazing how 8 minute long songs flow so nicely. I've been devouring every track since May and I never get tired! Can we say "Album of the decade?"

[@TheScorpio1999]

Such a phenomenal album. This might be the best album I've ever heard and I'm not even kidding. Interesting how you mention that heartbreak and relationship toxicity theory with Vessel and there could be something to that. I've experienced something similar in my previous marriage that ended in 2011. Almost to the day (today) actually. I have this distinct memory where I saw some messages after I moved out that I wasn't supposed to see, where I had this thought of "this still hurts, but this marriage has to stay dead" after reading what I had read. It doesn't make you feel any better in a situation like that, and not only that, but it instills this newfound sense of terror you didn't have before, and deepens the scar of "what else was this person hiding from me?" This song is not the only song on this record that reminds me of my own past.

[@thunderyeti5228]

i was waiting on this one. definitely one of my favorites on this album. i hope euclid is the next one you listen to!!!

[@WickedGoodBooks]

FINALLY! Been dying for you to get to the latter half of the album!

[@eilselp11]

This collection of artists has gone into my soul where music has not touched in so long, I will be forever thankful❤😊

[@riikkapalokangas560]

I've adored Sleep Token since 2021, so grateful that I found them. 🥰☺️ Their music is just so beautiful and multidimensional and the amount of feelings it brings... There are no words. Had the priviledge of getting to see them live at a festival a few weeks back here in Finland, hopefully they'll get their own concert some day soon here as well. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this! 🤗

[@theverdestreet]

This has genuinely become one of my all time favorite songs. But then again so have Ascensionism and Euclid.

[@Hoganply]

Man, if it weren't for ascensionism...

[@WTR28]

Tough to pick a favorite from this album. One day it'll be this track, next day it'll be Ascensionism, then there's Granite and The Summoning....

[@ekatyawa6714]

means you love the whole album in its entirety,..

[@martina_laray]

Those are all my favorites too!

[@snmaster56]

Vore

[@ragw33d]

people always comment on his voice but one thing that is even better is his song writing, the lyrics and way to sings and writes them is rare and beautiful

[@adrianrodriguez21]

3 songs in one. And it could not have been done any better.

[@Skyzeeve]

This one of my favorite track on this album . Album of the year and my favorite bands in my opinion. And nice reaction 😊

[@Berglundish]

That did not come out of nowhere, he even warned you :) (I'm about to bite back in anger)

[@MikeTheReactor]

yeah... this song is phenomenal. pretty much been on repeat for me. Great reaction.

[@Thepunki26]

Every song is not just a song it is an incredible experience. The best metal band at the moment by far.

[@lululamperouge7416]

Wish they'd come to Canada. Gonna travel to see them a few times this coming year though.

[@trowabarton222]

I dont know if you have ever listened to Berried Alive but I think you would really enjoy them. They just released 2 of their best tracks ever and would love for you to check them out. Masterpeach and Butterflies are the tracks. I dont care if you post a reaction or not. Just seems like the kind of emotional, beautiful music you would be into.

[@Bluebloods7]

I followed your channel wayyyy back when you were doing the ayahuasca retreats, for a couple years around that time, then fell off the map and wasn't really on YT at all for several years. Got back to using YT a couple years ago on a different account (couldn't remem the login creds for my original haha), and just now coming across this in my recommended section while watching other reactions to ST songs. Great minds vibe with each other and find each other!

[@Bluebloods7]

Also, the audio quality comes through beautifully with however/whatever medium you're using to make/upload these videos, so keep it up! Frustrating to listen to/watch a reaction video and you can hardly make out the song XD

[@Earl1403]

The chokehold call backs are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@DiogoMotta-ro9pm]

Sleep token number one in Brasil 🇧🇷 ❤

[@matriphagy1318]

Also Slice the Cake-Odyssey to the West. Perfect for you

[@luasouza6786]

loved your reaction, really good video. I would recommend "2022 em uma musica" to react next, it's kind of a mashup of the most famous songs of 2022 but in a rock version

[@jnovak1278]

That GTHIC song sounds like something off the movie Drive.

[@LordSplittawig]

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, in the creeped out sort of way, but I just want to tell you that you are so beautiful. I wish you all the happiness and good fortune that's possible for you. Now, forget that I said that, because I don't want to be so pathetic for anyone. Thanks. (Why am I so weak against the beauty of a woman? It penetrates all of my defenses, and leaves me feeling so alone... I wish I were half as loveable as Taylor's eyes are.)

[@savyss29]

So i had been meaning to ask you, or anyone who reads this, if there is any band you feel you are cosmically connected to?

[@TaylorsOdyssey]

Tool :)

Why do you look familiar, did you used to have a video on you doing Datura/Bragmansia that I might have seen you on or also on a interview with some dude about something?

[@TaylorsOdyssey]

😂 yes

[@FaithsFallen]

My Wife told me she does not like Sleep Token, I am not going to lie, I think I need to divorce her! WTF is actually wrong with her!

Don’t do that 😟

I enjoyed your Patience while listening to the music. You took it all in. Nice reaction video. Also, you have beautiful eyes. It's just a compliment, take it easy comment section.

What could be better than watching a beautiful girl listening to a beautiful song? 😊 And I've been listening to all 3 albums basically non stop for almost 2 months now... just keeps getting better

[@MySistersAlive]

Taylor I have a feeling that when you had your ayahuasca experience you thought it was the most amazing feeling in the world and it’s all you cared about but now your interest have changed to Men/romantic relationships
