VESSEL IS SO GOOD!! | MINE | SLEEP TOKEN

[@boomjykeo2]

Kyle’s not gonna be able to go through Missing Limbs without shedding a tear or two I think. That’s probably my favourite from this album, along with Alkaline.

[@pufferzsola69]

Missing Limbs is such an emotional masterpiece... i shed tears every time i listen to it. It resonates so well!

[@sandcake]

I assume the tears will run during FALL FOR ME. The video and lyrics hit so hard. And the written poem during the video ist just so heartbreaking 💔

[@KeraPaige]

Missing Limbs is one of my favorite songs. It's so beautiful! I also cry when listening to it. 😢

[@wendyanzaldua2293]

Question…don’t you think from Missing Limbs that he’s definitely talking about a real person and relationship? Trying not to give too much away…

[@KeraPaige]

@wendyanzaldua2293 Absolutely! That's what I think of, at least.

[@Lunar_Asylum]

This feels like one of the few songs where Vessel is certain. No self doubt, no questioning, no fear of himself. Just a head first desperation into what he wants. I love this song. It doesn't feel like a love song but it reads like a love song.

[@jasonlafrance2942]

This is a great take

[@grant115]

I love how the song starts like a love song, but the second half the tone change, even though its very similar to the start, almost bring a more sinister feel, like its gone from a love song, to one of possession

[@RAD_tuck]

I like how Eric mentioned that conspiracy. It becomes even more of a thought because of Granite with the lines of "so keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever" and "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat" and even "I see you go HALF-BLIND when youre looking at me, BUT I AM"

[@irynazaliuchaya3739]

oh damn this actually makes sense 😮

[@Sylveonismyicon]

Also when I first listened to Atlantic I thought it was about a car accident because of the lines talking about people at his bedside and someone talking him through the damage, like he woke up in a hospital after a serious accident that changed his life forever (an accident where he got seriously messed up and also took someone's life).

[@irynazaliuchaya3739]

Update: now I think about the lines in Ascensionism: "With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail. Other, other eye following a scarlet trail"

[@TrickTheKick]

I always heard that line and thought of a sewerslide attempt if I'm honest, but I like your theory also@@Sylveonismyicon

[@joshuacarlile3048]

​@@Sylveonismyiconive always thought Atlantic was about a car accident as well and I have a theory he lost a child because of it... Might be a bit of a stretch but "crumble like a temple built from future daughters" to me references a womb, plus in High Water he mentions "And I know you still bear the weight of your own existence and you'll never bear the weight of two" and I think this is him speaking to his partner about their lost child.

[@DGmmnLm]

“This place will become your tomb” is a reference to the relationship, it is something that is bad for him and may eventually kill Vessel. Even though he knows and understands this he still can’t seem to leave and keeps getting pulled in further which I think is the theme of the album art work of him slowly sinking deeper and drowning.

[@thehollyhazard]

Emotional confusion and realization. The water album. Then the next one is about acceptance and earthly being.

[@jwh97]

It's actually a quote from Halo 3, but cool interpretation.

[@angryasianjim]

@@jwh97this phrase has been used throughout all types of media since well before Halo 3.

[@jwh97]

@@angryasianjim Source? Struggling to find any reference to it online prior to Halo 3's release.

[@Ulkavyn]

I interpret the raised arms of the man on the cover sinking deeper is sort of acceptance, like he welcomes this as long as he gets to be with her. Along with Ascensionism I think he believes if he achieves a level of divinity, perhaps through death, they will get to be together forever, not just at Night.

[@steelecreek5518]

The car crash theme comes back in Granite too: “I was more than just a body in your passenger seat…the glass on the street…keep your eye on the road or we will both be here forever” Always felt like a direct callback to Dark Signs for me.

[@HungaMunga]

“Did you not say we were made for each other?” This song is currently my favourite on the album.

[@Nonya12608]

There is some *extremely* old vessel music on YT, and in the descriptions he talks about being very embarrassed to be on stage. I think the mask is truly just a way for him to conquer that fear. It also allows him to be very vulnerable.

[@nikibailey819]

Exactly. I don't know about conspiracy theories I try not to listen to them. The mask lines up completely with past Vessel's thoughts. I like not to care as much too and I wish more people would stop caring as much about the mystery because clearly they want to remain anonymous and it isn't just sheer schtick.

[@Alex-dh5ct]

I agree with you, Eric. Sleep Token has taken over my playlists. I have never been so invested in a band in my life. They are so different and refreshing and hit so many emotions. This album is a wild ride! Can't wait to see you all react to the rest of the songs!

[@RicardooSchweitzer]

Same. Even when I think I want to listen to something else I always come back to them shortly after. It just scratches an itch nothing else can

[@laurenh.1604]

Same. I absolutely adore this band.

[@fraturedsleep]

"we dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans. but no one told me not to breathe. and now the weightlessness recedes" - TMBTE ; You can also hear him echo singing "it was no accident" at the very end of TMBTE. And in Chokehold "When we were made it was no accident. We were tangled up like branches in a flood."

[@olivetattoos98]

I cried the first time I saw them live and they played this song. It’s one thing to listen to it. It’s a whole other thing to FEEL it in your bones. And he’s so good at doing that live and II, III, and IV all bring it every time. This is and will always be one of my favorites (as hard as it is to pick sometimes) from them.

[@edelwiess2306]

I hope you get to see them live. That’s another incredible aspect. When they played Mine, Vessel added in the sobbing and the sound of desperation at the end. It’s an incredibly emotional experience, in a great way. Imagine how we all felt at Wembley when they played Bloodsport as the finale! Phenomenal.

[@ElementalBean]

This is the only band whose lyrics can mean so many different things depending on the listeners experience in life. The way the lyrics can simultaneously having multiple meanings and either bring comfort or break your heart is a testament to how well Vessel understands language and music composition. I don’t think any of us can say with 100% certainty what any particular song means and that is beautiful in and of itself.

[@Spaceycasey1414]

I'm excited for the next three songs, especially since The Love You Want and Fall For Me both have actual music videos.

[@hmmm5200]

I was thinking the same thing. Can't wait to see their reaction to "Like That." Dare I say I think they will... like that 😁

[@HeatherVT8]

Fall for me 🥺😭

[@lyndsaywalker1285]

The love you want has a story to it too. So I hope they see how it plays out.

[@RicardooSchweitzer]

Best 3 song sequence in their discography IMO. They are so gorgeous and flow so well into each other

[@rglass8423]

Dude the fall for me vid was so sad I wanted to go find him and hug him forever

[@horizon6552]

Can’t WAIT for you to get to The Love You Want. Also can’t wait for you to get to the older releases One and Two (do them in that order!) but it’s been amazing seeing you go on this journey, as a long time Sleep Token fan it’s been incredible seeing their growth going from my first time seeing them where there were only a hundred or so people there, all the way to where they are now. So glad you’re taking the time to listen to everything they’ve got to offer!

[@dropthehammer1360]

The music video of The Love You Want is trippy as hell.

[@GioFireheart]

@@dropthehammer1360the choreography was jaw dropping

[@makennaallen4246]

"I know for the last time. You will not be mine. So give me the night the night the night...." 🖤

[@ryanford5320]

You two have created the best channel for Sleep Token reactions...everytime I see a new reaction the headphones go on. Appreciate how you guys dig deep and understand what this band is about. I hope one day you get to see them live. I'll be ready for the next reaction 🤘

[@travisedmiston3594]

Appreciate yall being consistent in the upload times, was able to make breakfast knowing it would be posted now and I could start my morning off with some Sleep Token

[@Torrid_the_Gnome]

The next song is Like That. You have to listen to the snare. You focus on the snare and you will be lost in ii's majesty on this album.

[@dropthehammer1360]

His drumming is splendid.

[@saraqawwas7424]

I loved this album because every song was so different. It's so beautiful from start to finish

[@moth_lea6]

Sleep Token has taken over my music since November of last year. It's all I can listen to now. Normally I get hooked on a particular album from whoever for 5 or 6 months and then I move on for a couple weeks and come back to it. But with ST, it just doesn't stop xD I don't WANT to listen to anything else. Ronnie dropped new stuff and I can't be bothered right now. Nothing else is as enticing as what I've found in sleep token. There was a time I was in my car on the way to work, and thought to myself "I'm never going to find anything like this again. Not for years. Not until other bands venture out and try this style, and certainly not until someone else comes along to master something of this caliber." Even then, it simply WON'T hit like these guys do.

[@Samantha__420]

I am in the same exact headspace. I try and listen to other artists, other songs I used to love to listen to. They don't hit the same as before. I can confidently say I am eternally changed by Sleep Token.

[@moth_lea6]

@Samantha__420 Same! Old favorites sound dull to me, and lack depth i somehow NEVER noticed before??

[@Zirc723]

Sleep Token is my new obsession since Deftones and Incubus. I absolutely fell in love with Sleep Token. Vessel’s vocal is insane,he touched my soul.

[@nicolebuckley2588]

Same my friend

[@erinlaboricua]

Describing Sleep Token's effect on your life and the music you listen to as something you "yearn" for is so unbelievably accurate. That's EXACTLY how it feels to listen to and understand this music. It's only recently been a full year since Sleep Token's become a part of my life, but i find it difficult to imagine that there was ever a time when they weren't. They mean that much, and it's always beautiful to see thag sentiment shared across their listeners.

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

This song became a favorite after i saw them play it live (Thank you KZbin). The way Vessel starts the song so simple, then that drop hits and he's like a full orchestra conductor! Absolutely beautiful. This is in my top 5 ST songs for sure. ❤ Worship ❤

[@jennifersmith5345]

I absolutely can not wait for The Love You Want, Fall For Me. I’m so impatiently patiently waiting for them🖤

[@chetthehoss]

They've actually already done their reaction to Alkaline. They did that one before they got into Sundowning. As you can imagine, they loved it, but it's definitely worth watching their reaction.

[@jennifersmith5345]

They have! I completely forgot about it!!! I think it was one of the first ones I watched!

[@nathanmellott2262]

Like That is next and I CANNOT wait! Great job guys, love the content

[@CyhAnide]

That "talk-worthy" aspect comes from the lore, I think. Because Sleep Token drip-feeds you all kinds of lore as you listen to their albums. Some of it might be Sleep-related, and some might just be Vessel's own history, but it's all so heavily wreathed in metaphor that you can't help but engage in the storytelling to dig through clues and piece the puzzle together. ST isn't the only artist that does this, of course, but they do it incredibly well.

[@ginger_fox_n_sox]

Right at 5:51 - Thank you thank you thank you, guys! This section of this song is my all time favorite part, and to see someone react to it the way I do makes my heart so happy. I swear, sharing music is the greatest love language and you guys are just the best!

[@mooleamoo]

i will never get over eric's funny shirts and kyle's excitement and deep love for music !!

[@bluesey-182]

yes, there's a looot of references to crashing in their music and there's a theory vessel survived a car crash his lover didn't so i interpret this song as him singing to her in the afterlife from the living basically saying "we'll be together again, bc you promised you were mine"

[@dalerjh]

Yes, this is exactly my interpretation of this song and the story as a whole. W O R S H I P

[@KindaGrump]

I love the way Vessel sounds on the end of the track. He sounds like he's sinking deeper into the ocean, and he's getting more and more distant.

[@katezorrr]

this is one that grew on me a lot over time, those vocal runs are so good! can't wait for the next one, you guys are gonna looove Like That :)

[@HeavenSpectrum]

I love Mine as a song in general, but as a live version this song is really something special to me. The crowd chanting 'You will be mine' is giving me goosebumps every time. ❤

[@stevieRae04]

This song is so touching to me mostly bc I feel like he’s trying to be encouraging and present space he’s holding for her. It’s the most beautiful type of determination and certainty. A positive desperation. He’s showing her what all they’ve done and how capable they are and she will be his bc it already is so

[@chickox]

This was my and my wife's first dance song. Just incredible.

[@urfvsuthrngal318]

This was the forst song from them that I became obsessed with and repeated over and over back to back for days 😂 It moves me so much 🖤

[@yutub561]

what Eric said at the end around 12:30 is so true. I love them for the same reason. i've been needing to hear "say that you will" a few times a day for the past week

[@Elairee]

The car crash conspiracy could be something. Not only the lyrics in some of the songs, but the fact that he talks about the goddess 'sleep' could be him referring to be in a coma for an amount of time. It's far fetched and like you said, the mystery is far more interesting and keeps the conversation going.

[@libonkers8750]

I loveeee seeing your reactions to sleep token! As you’ve dived deeper we can see the excitement and anticipation at the beginning of each video. It makes me feel like I’m rediscovering each song again and listening for the first time. I can’t wait for the next reaction video on Sleep Token 💖

[@davidriddick82]

This album is unique because it’s a different flavor almost with every single song here. As many people said, you will shed some tears as you continue on, it’s very emotional but also gives clarity on some things as well. Always a pleasure to watch you two react and analyze Sleep Token #WORSHIP

[@blondie_0283]

"Pizza is a circle, cut into triangles, put into a square" 🤯🤯🤯 🤣😂🤣

[@rebeccalevy8491]

Kyle getting excited and saying "Oh, there's things happening" almost felt like a blooper moment 😂😂😂

[@moonkissedhips]

anxiously awaiting the reaction to Fall For Me with the accompanying music video

[@lashyrenevethir]

Mine is one of my absolute favorites from Sleep Token's entire discography. It gets me every single time.

[@novemberaddams2779]

I always look forward to the mug + shirt combinations from Eric lmao

[@BritBrat83]

I end up with goosebumps for the entire song every damn time! 🖤🖤

[@Imguano]

Ive been WAITING for y'all to hear this song, its my favorite!

[@aimeeziegler9855]

this is the song that made me fall in love with the band

[@zacharywebb9452]

The next 3 songs are going to be a rollercoaster. I cant wait to see how Fall For Me goes

[@RespiteofChampions]

I can't WAIT to see especially Kyle try to get through Missing Limbs. I just know tears are gonna be shed and it's gonna be uncontrollable.

[@run4walk]

The way Vessel sings with the breathiness and the drawn-out notes or singing through his teeth is exemplified best on Tomb. Tomb is the place to be if that's what you're looking for.

[@nedenag]

The entire TPWBYT album is perfect, you're about to lose your minds when you get to "Like That" it has a couple of stylistic traits in it that are unique to only that song insofar as I can really recall and I sometimes binge their discography for around 12 hours a day for months 😩

[@Brittany-xe4bz]

I interpret this song is sleep talking to vessel.. but it could totally be interpreted so many different ways!

[@denielf.7169]

this is probably my most favorite song off this album. the rawness in his voice when vessel sings is just 👌👌🥰

[@oliviahelp1968]

You gotta watch live performances after reacting to the albums! They are great!

[@cristycarlton4547]

This was the first song of theirs that I heard. Absolutely loved it. The second song was Granite, and that was all she wrote lol

[@collindougherty8398]

Can’t wait for y’all to get to “High Water”, my favorite off “TPWBYT”. Some of the deepest lyrics in my opinion.

[@calebm3799]

Been binge watching all your sleep token reaction vids and can not wait for yall to do The Love You Want

[@drb2168]

I always say Mine and Say That You Will are the single most underrated sleep token songs

[@RicardooSchweitzer]

The “sit down and discuss this” is so true. The theatrical structure of the albums brings to music the theories and discussions about themes that happened for tv shows. It’s super smart to get us hooked but also incredibly hard to make it actually good and not corny because the individual lyrics and whole story must be great for it to work. Vessel is just something special.

[@luoleilinaonmars]

Probably my favorite from this album, this song is perfect

[@SiggyEthel]

this is awesommmee. i love that you guys are listening to older songs too

[@rickymark6109]

So hyped for telomeres

[@K1NGD0M]

I've never actually fully listened to the albums, even though I have them on my playlist lol Glad I get to experience both of the albums through you guys! 🥂

[@itsbiggs2540]

at 4:01 when that kicks in I ALWAYS get chills, much like you guys did and it really flips the song. It makes you feel things, it's what Sleep Token is all about, the music is so emotionally charged and amazing. This song always hits for me, hell this whole album really. Atlantic is still my favorite and I about died when it was played live. I love that you guys are going through the whole catalog and while I don't often watch React content I'm loving your inputs on these

[@Ifyouseekamyyy]

I can’t wait for you guys to get to Descending, such an underrated song

[@Smithysmithin]

You need to see or watch a video of this song live. Omg it's so good. Vessel is just absolutely amazing. And if you hear it live, you will understand just how good. When I saw them, i mean every song was better than album, though that's also just the experience as well haha. But I will never forget Vessel singing "You Will Be Mine" while 3 pointed at me directly as he sung along. I'm not gay. But omg 3 is just a perfect being. Whether he meant to or not, we connected that night. It helped that I stood probably a head taller than everyone else, so I stood out even 4 rows back on the floor

[@Mpw19]

Love that you guys are doing this. Wish I could’ve gotten tickets on this new tour. Had presale and got the code an hour late

[@MrATolosa]

i love you guys for going through sleep tokens discography, its being quite the journey...cant wait for your reaction to "fall for me" and "the love you want"...well, the entire album is great haha

[@jeanproctor3663]

Eric, I totally get where you're coming from when you say that you have a yearning to hear Sleep Token's stuff and (at the time this video went out at least) they've become what you listen to mostly at the moment, because that's the place I'm at right now. I worked away from home last weekend and had to rely on wi-fi to listen to any music before going to bed. I had to, because I had Sleep Token lyrics running round my head all day while I was working, but because I was at work I couldn't just stop everything to listen to their source. It's weird isn't it? But I do feel them to be very soothing and wonderfully crafted, rather like looking at the most beautiful work of art while you're eating your favourite cake.

[@calebevans3690]

My 5th most listened to song of 2023. Right after TMBTE, missing limbs, Euclid and The Love you want

[@Daniyvet1264]

This is one of my ultimate favorites. The little vocalizations hook me. The "ha!" After "Yea you.." at 5:20 ♥️🙌🏼

[@gitsiemonster]

I love that "hah" so much

[@sylverscreamqueen]

This just reminded me of why I am such a defender of this song and of Sleep Token overall In less skilled hands this type of song could be sappy love song drivel but with Vessels poetic lyrics , his passionate and unique vocal delivery and the atmospheric and perfectly crafted music ..it just raises it to such a top tier level The song is haunting and heart achingly lovely When I really take it in it gets me every time and shed some tears Vessel is the best when it comes to that emotional connection of feeling the song Worship 🖤🙌

[@heidispurling1907]

This is my favorite song!

[@Gabrielle-xb3ep]

I've been listening for a while to your reactions and one thing that struck me is the fact that you're always doing it so respectfully and so curiously about the lore. It's the same thing for the Billie Eillish videos. One of the very few reactions channel I listen to, because you're not only reacting, but you're finding the meaning behind the lyrics, and don't stop at appearances. I'm so glad you are doing every song. Looking forward to Calcutta! If you wanna react to another metal band, I suggest the band ERRA. They did the first part of the Bad Omens shows last year! Snowblood is particularly good!

Hey, I love that you mentioned my theory here about the car accident. Especially with it being a reoccurring theme throughout this trilogy. Not to delve too deep but in the close ups you do see of his face he does have a scar that is visible around his chin, and you'll notice it more especially if you pause during the fall for me music video which of course we know you guys will be checking out soon.

[@Thischarletfire]

I'm so happy that you guys are going through all the albums! I found you guys looking for sleep token reaction after discovering them when the singles from TMBTE were released. I'm finally going to go see them live in may !!! Keep it up guys it's just going to be better !

[@WickedGoodBooks]

I friggan love this song, you guys. Loved your reaction!

[@GauldenBoi]

Vessel has another music group (I'd say band, but it's just 2 people and they intentionally use as little instrumentation as possible) that just started releasing music again after a 9 year hiatus, I think you'd love them!! It's called Blacklit Canopy :)
