This connection to the music is what literally changed me as a person a few years ago and seeing other people experience it makes me very happy. This is a special band for the people who connect with them regardless of whatever genre they're leaning toward at the time. It's just as close to a religious experience I've ever had as a non religious person.

II is a monster on those drums for sure. Easy to see why he won drummer of the year. I'm another one that's fallen down the rabbit hole with these guys.

For me personally probably the most emotional song by Sleep Token. It got me...it just got me every time 🥺

Sleep Token is just the best band ever!! Not one song of theirs is bad.

I ugly cried when I saw them perform this song live

I love how the final vocals with the guitars sounds like he's under water. So awesome.

I'd love to see them support TOOL on tour. I'd crawl over lightbulb glass to see that.

I don't think we can help but listen to them every day though, can we? To me, Sleep Token are lyrically and musically perfect and Vessel is an amazing wordsmith. Worship...

It's something strange about Sleep Token. I've heard them for the first time a week or so ago. A friend had a snippet of "Chokehold" in his WhatsApp status and it just caught me. I mean, I love music that's emotional, intensive, extreme, everything epic with a high intensity level. Some way to feel alive through my PTSD. But this is ... compared to other music like the jump from conventional explosives to thermonuclear. I don't know how they're doing this but it has such a strange, yet caring and catching magic. Like it's possesed. And now it possesses me too. It tears you apart only to instantly put you back together. I've found many truly wonderful artists and bands throughout my life like A Perfect Circle, Dredg, Thrice and many others. Also all some very, very unique stuff, artists. But this is - It's like from another planet. Guess now I finally feel that phrase. Or it's that "one in a million hit" that got me. I'm confused, fascinated and I want more.

i was today years old when i realized when he says "anything to get my to sleep" he means "anything to get me to Sleep." He means HER. I shall go cry in a ball now.

this was my favorite song for such a long time, but holy shit, I watched an analysis of the lyrics and it completely transformed it for me, transcended even further beyond favorite, but god I have a hard time listening to it anymore Vessel just finds a way to talk about these horrifying emotionally overwhelming subjects in a way that blows my mind, all the themes of mental health and depression and s**cide through his lyrics, its... terrifyingly good ❤

💜💜 They really just can't make a bad song can they? Blood Sport (the room blow) is a MUST!

Your reactions are so very special to me. ❤

I can not express my gratitude enough for this reaction video. It is because of YOU that I now have Sleep Token in my life. There’s no way I will EVER be able to repay this gift that you have given me.

My first time listening to Sleep Token. They create a great soundscape & take you on a journey. Reminds me of Pink Floyd (I'm old.)

Vessel never fails to amaze me. Chills every fuckin song🥶💯

Sleep Token are like a drug! I swear there’s subliminal messages in their music as it’s epic! II is a beast of a drummer! His fills and ghost notes are beautiful. Such a beautiful song and another great reaction 🖤

I love it when you react to Sleep Token. Amazing music, amazing feelings. I adore how sensitive you are about music. Do not change

Dang! You totally got me on the ST train now, Chief! Thank you. And I want to echo what people have been saying already: Blood sport! ❤

The greatest band since Jinjer. What I would pay to see them together!

Wait until you hear blood sport the room below performance… hits straight to the heart in my opinion

The absolutely best band I have ever heard in my life. This song is hands down my favorite (if one can even have a favorite) lol I can’t help but getting emotional during this song🥰

That was beautiful 🌊, it took me to a place that personally reminded me of a mix of pink floyd type instrumental, with Hozier voice tones. Loved the gentle rain effect in the background. Totally new band to me and I loved it. Thank you 🙌👏

This is one of my favourites of theirs. His voice is special indeed. Love it. Another great reaction Chief! 🤘🫂

Im joining this Sleep Token journey, I'm loving their music. Looking forward to the next one 🥰 (my favorite atm is Sugar but Blood Sport is also great)

So glad you reacted to this one from ST. One of my favorites. Worship ❤

This was the first song I heard from them… Their album was the top spot on an alternative album of the year list, over the new Limp Bizkit and Twelve Foot Ninja, so I had to listen to it… I was freaking blown away instantly, and the album just fucking wrecked me! I fell in love HARD with them! Tracks like Missing Limbs and Bloodsport made sob like little boy with a skinned knee getting kicked in the nuts, while being dumped on his birthday, and their cover of Hey Ya really made it a completely different song!

Haaaaa …. Me too Chief… EVERY song I have heard has blown me away and more than a few have made me emotional…. What is it with this guys voice and piano playing and ability to write a tune…?… incredible

You’re going to love them live! They’ve played this track in the 3 times I’ve seen them and they do it beautifully, so take some tissues just in case! What a cracking opener to the album !! I don’t know what they put in their sauce to make it so emotional, but they do it all the time! Great reaction 😊

Love this band totally obsessed. I can’t help but want to know the meaning behind every song because everything they do just hits different. I think this song is about suicide perhaps, I don’t know can’t be sure. But phrases like trying not to crush into sand like the weight & pressure of whatever it is he’s going through is too much to handle. Wash away the blood on my hands. Pain they know they don’t understand. At the bedside and many more phrases lead me to think it’s about a suicide attempt. I just can’t stop listening to Sleep Token best music I have heard in such a long time. Can’t wait to see more of your reactions to Sleep Token add Blood Sport to your list.

Man I had tears at the end, the drumming in the final section broke me

My favorite band now. I react to them every week now. I'm on a binge to see other reactors now. Lol ❤

That was beautiful! And a lot of other adjectives-I can’t put the words together. Loved it.

NOW GO LISTEN TO 'CALCUTTA' AND BE LIFTED TO THE SKY. Sleep Token is , without understating it, divine.

Gonna see them in Anaheim Ca in oct 🙌🏼 worship

I love how this makes you emotional. I subbed! Really appreciate your reaction!!

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song, bro. New sub! Well done!

Thank you, Chief, for reacting to this one! Beautiful song! Truly does take you somewhere else and your reaction was, as usual, the best! Rockville!!!!! Woooo!!!! Oh Liz and I are going to Blue Ridge Rock Fest in September, and yes we will see Sleep Token too! Going to be great!

Worship

the drums are very crazy. I love drums like this.

There’s no better music or movies than the ones that make you emotional. The magic is stronger when musicians have that talent or when actors have that ability to flip your emotions like a roller coaster 😂

You are one of the most unique / straight up REACTION guys out there.

Ive really been enjoying your reactions recently, i found you through Ren but Ive been a ST fan for longer, and when i saw your short of Atlantic i was so excited for this reaction. This song is so deep, it rips me open nearly everytime. Knowing what the song is actually about makes it worse. 💔🖤

this song in koln a few days ago was SO good live. made me cry lol

vessel does not belong here, he belongs to the gods, just descended here for a bit, to give us all an experience of a lifetime..,

I appreciate this react video so much. You got it and it got you just like it got me. It's fucking brilliant.

Hey I just realized I wasn't subbed to your channel but I am now.... I love your sleep token reactions this one was really good seems like it hit you like it did me very emotional and brings tears to my eyes. You are so adorable and I love your accent too. Just wait till you hear Calcutta really anything from the first 2 EPS.

This one, Bloodsport (from the room below) and Fall For Me get me every time. I don’t quite know what it is, but they make me more emotional than almost any other song/band.

I love the drop and the way the guitar comes in bc to me the effect on the guitar kinda sounds like whale calls? Idk I love this song so much bc it's just so intensely pretty and heartbreaking 😭

First song I heard by them was Alkaline. By the time I heard Atlantic I was hooked.

No you don't wanna be walking on a beach with such a song... This song is about losing his partner in a car accident where the car drowned and he survived, his partner didn't... So he woke up with people starring at him and telling him what had happened...

Have you ever heard the term "eargasm"? To me it's more than clever, it's literally true. Giving oneself to the music - surrendering to it - seems a perfect analog to the feminine experience of making love.

Wowww. This was cinematic somehow

This one always hits all the feels, def watch Bloodsport(from The Room Below) if you haven't yet! Just Vessel and his Piano

This is one of my favorites by ST!

II’s drumming is simply insane

Im going to see Sleep Token in september in michigan!

If you do blood sport I would highly recommend doing a double reaction. Do the regular then the "room below" version. Much love my friend. Always. ❤️🤘🔥🤘

This one has thoroughly come to destroy me. Every. Time.

Nice

Love the emotion that Sleep Token just forces out of all of us when we hear it. Anyone that says their music is good, is either lying or dont understand music as an art lol

Bloodsport from the room below next please!

Also, have you done Higher or Hypnosis yet? Higher is my fav. Thanks for another excellent video. 💜💜

This song is up there with my favorite of all time. I have to have heard it at least 1k times by now. *edit: didn’t realize I stated “up there.” Nope. This is my favorite song out of any and all music I’ve ever heard. There’s just beauty in the elegant darkness of the lyrics and composition. Favorite song of all time.

❤️👍🇬🇧

Bandage up the trenches, anything to get me to sleep. 😢

This one is so difficult to listen to because it describes a moment in my past with such vivid detail that it literally places me back in that 'space'. The frozen planets line particularly. I'm shaking typing this comment. I'm so sorry to be a downer.

Hi! React please SKYND it's very interesting art performance band 😊all song about true crime! So creative and unique!! 😊🎉

114

its supposed to do that if its good

you have beautiful eyes

Great react. This is the exact same way I felt the first second...third... Hell, EVERY time I hear this song. Beautifully haunting. Gorgeous. More of these guys!

Call me when they bury bodies underwater, cause uts blue light over murder for me. ( Id rather drown with the other bodies than still be in this toxic situation). Fuuuuuuu

I’m a heretical fan who superimposes my Christian worldview onto the music. Ends up working out beautifully. Not that anyone agrees or cares. Lol.

5:02 intro. long!
