Travel back in time with us! 🚀 centurymedia.lnk.to/BlastFromThePast

I was a senior in high school when this song was released, and I absolutely loved it. But it wasn't until my mid 20's when i fully understood what this song meant. As a kid I grew up with parents who treated me like dirt. I had friends who were never there for me. I'd count down the days until I could leave, and start my own life. And now as an adult I can't help but to look back; all those emotions, feelings, and pain come rushing back as if they never left. I can't help but thinking if things could've been different. This song is therapeutic and reminds me not to dwell on the past, but to live in the moment. And I'm currently the happiest I've ever been. I'm married to the woman of my dreams, I'll be a homeowner in a few months, and when the time is right we'll be starting a family of our own

Metal is so beautiful. Sad that many people doesn´t like.

Metal is not for everyone!!!😉🤟 itsoo magical.... some times its like medicine for our hearts and mind!!!

This is just incredible. The melody, guitars, drums and especially the deep meaning this song has is unmatched. Love this band!

INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep lyrics: When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Set all the bridges in flaming fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down Thanks Insomnium .

For a long time I felt I was missing something big in my life... And then, I met Insomnium.

The song that got me into insomnium, nordic metal, Scandinavian folk music and melodeath and extreme metal all at the same time.

The year was 2014. I was graduating high school and had a jeep wrangler with a crazy sound system in it. Always in my passenger seat was the girl who I was crazy about. This album was always blasting along with other amazing metal bands. We ended up going to prom together and blasted this in the limo on the way there. Its 2019 and were still together and still blasting this amazing album constantly. 🤘

I've never come across another band that is able to convey such melancholy and sadness through their music. Emotion pouring out of the speakers.

I'm so lucky I have a mom who headbangs with me to this

My mother brought me to heavy meta in the late 90s. She has been in Valhalla since 2012.

Whenever I get trapped in the past, frustrated with myself and unable to concentrate, I remember this song and specifically the part "We need to slow down..so I can catch you". I close my eyes, one deep breath, and another. This song is a warm hug, a gentle wind that blows away the dark clouds.

Holy fucking shit I discovered this band just now and wow I am honestly amazed by how good this is. I've always been a fan of melodeath but this is just.. This is a completely new level

Insomnium, Amorphis and Dark Tranquility help me sleep!!!! Thanks for all those great songs

Absolute perfection. It's hard to describe how beautiful this song is, I love it.

The dark atmosphere and raw emotion in this metal track are captivating.

From the first notes it becomes very melodic and beautiful. This is the true power of heavy music. Masterpiece.

The vocalist of this band taught my sister biology in uni

Happy solar eclipse 🌑

My wife loved this song. She passed from cance this year. But we got to see them live in Pittsburgh with Alestorm. That was f*cking amazing. Incredible band.

My god this song... this is my first time listening to it. I'm so touched, the hairs on my arms are standing up, a tear is rolling down my cheek, all of my worries have floated away and the weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Incredible. I've never felt this way about a song before. Pure magic!

That solo is .... Wow ......

This is one of my favorite songs. It was awesome seeing these guys in Cambridge Mass last night. I've waited a long time to see them. My little brother would have loved this show. Miss you, kid.

This is frickin gold. Got no idea how I missed this band for so long...

The more I listen to this song, the better it gets. Thank you, Insomnium!

Song called While we sleep by Insomnium...how paradoxical. :D

Odin’s beard why haven’t I heard this song sooner!? This is fucking incredible!

I’ve been listening to them for almost 6 years and a couple of months ago I literally had my last 40$ in my account and i was in a vinyl store and found their vinyl “its not easy to find these types of vinyls where i live” I literally spent all the money i had left to get this album in vinyl and went back home and just sat there broke but i was enjoying the vinyl. Such an amazing band.

When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame it for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is enflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is enflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down

This is so fucking epic. I have discoverd Insomnium by this song. It's the most beautifull metal work of art I've known. Discovered week ago and already a fan.

This is literally the song that got me into metal, and the reason Insomnium will forever be my favourite band. Been listening to them for 10 years now, and i genuinely don’t even consider them music. Its just Art

2020 , still here and counting quarantine can never stop us

Insomnium...proof that there's beauty in heavy metal.

Oh my God what a masterpiece!!! 😍😍😍

Niilo's voice is absolute perfection, and the harmonies with Ville give me goosebumps. They are true masters of their craft.

masterpiece🦆🙌🏻

I just wanna sit in the dark and cry until I fall asleep.

This is real metal.

This is what i call EPIC. This band has the perfect vibe I've been looking for in music for years. thank god i discover them. better late than ever.

I was intensely high last night and ended up bawling my eyes out at the beauty of this music video. It was a very emotional experience.

Insomnium's lyrics are not a knife in the heart, no. They are a sledgehammer in the gut, leaving you broken and wanting to curl up and cry.

I dont know why it makes me so damn emotional when he says "We need to slow down." Powerful. I feel like that is society in a nutshell. Why can't we just stop and talk with one another with love, compassion and faith randomly in public anymore? Why are we afraid of each other? We don't take the time to find the humanity in each other because we are swiping away on social media platforms that expose us to hate and divisive concepts. We need to slow down. So I can catch you. We need to slow down. So you can catch me.

Melodeath will always have a special place in my heart... Its raw and beautiful

Their music is something that’ll be with me forever. It has helped me through some really really dark times

This is one of those songs that, when you discover it, you play it over and over and over... Christ, I've listened to it on repeat for the last week. Why the hell hadn't I heard it before? If music can be haunted, this song is evidence of it.

What a masterpiece; the way the different instruments and voices work together is beautiful. I deem this a piece of art.

One of the most beautiful guitar solo ever wrote !

Still a timeless classic. Unmatched melodies and vibes and I hadn't even really read the lyrics til today after listening to it for almost 10 years. Truly a magical band.

Those Finnish muzafakaz have been making my day, the day of 45+ man, for about 10 years.

Just release the album already, and take my money once again.

For me, one of the best songs ever. Masterpiece!

Getting emotional when hearing this

Markus Valhalla needs some serious credit for crushing it time after time with both Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum! Genuinely one of my favourite guitarists, and this solo is up there as one of my all time favourites! Such an emotive player!

Came here from Amorphis, all I can say is this band is amazing!!! Wish I'd heard of them sooner.

Love these guys

Unmatched brutally melodic metal, from happy sauna.

i can’t describe how much i love this song.

When people actually spend time writing lyrics and composing. a masterpiece. A real A R T, a m u s i c

This is one of the most important death metal bands that I know!

Nothing more stunning and beautiful. You can actually feel the hurt and pain. There’s honestly no words for such perfection that speaks to your very soul.

This is some soul cleansing material, man. Melodic death metal at its finest!

Just what I was wishing for....Insomnium coming back in 2015 as headliners....August 24th at El Corazon....cool! Insomnium is the best band in the world.

It's crazy how most people think all metal is too aggressive and people who worship the devil. Yet music nowadays talk about the devil, sex violence on the radio.

Metal genre are for people who are destined for it, who has deeper sense of taste in everything. Its a feeling to feel, no one can make the other person understand the beauty of it, if he/she hasn't been destined to.

Lyrics: When your heart gives out and your love collapses When the hand that never lets go is there no more When you reap and sow only throe and resentment When there's no one else but you to blame it for When all you ever wish for is to go back once more When all you ever wish for is to change it all When all you feel is remorse, pain and regret When you dwell in the past unable to move on And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is inflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind When you realize that your life is a one-way road When you realize that there's no point of return When you understand that you can't go back anymore When you understand you can only move onwards And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Build a wall of glass thick and deep We hear but choose not to listen And we drift far away in our dreams Gather further distance while we sleep Still the bridge is enflamed with fire Leave all the love we had behind Slow down We need to slow down We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me We need to slow down so I can catch you We need to slow down so you can catch me Slow down

Best band on earth Period. Cheers from a 51 year old in the USA

INSOMNIUM Вы прекрасны! Ваши песни, ваши клипы, тексты, эмоциии просто прекрасны

Criminally underrated band.

We need to slow down, so I can catch you. We need to slow down, so you can catch me.

epic song

The crows flying around the dark sun is my favorite visual I have seen in any music video. Hauntingly beautiful and it reminds me of Dark Souls 3's final moments.

I really cried with this song. Each line describes my thoughts..... How much I want things to go back to the way they were before.

One of the most eye opening songs I have ever heard.

First Insomnuim song I’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

Insomnium doesn't make music, they make goosebumps

Definitely one of the best Melodic Death Metal tracks ever written ❤

The best: anger and peace, epic strength and melancholy, hope and struggle, all mixed in the same song in a wonderfull melody .. just a f***ing masterpiece !!!

I’m 50+ and I love metal. Gothic metal as well as.

Metal helps me brings out all the pain and hatreds in me. I am at peace when ilisten to metal songs.

Happy 10 years to one of my all time favorite albums 🖤

Was listening to these guys before they became more mainstream, and they only get better the further they go! Best melodic death on the planet.

The reality is that the instrumental is rather simple. The band is full of incredible musicians and artists which is where the phenomenal music comes from. The band has turned death metal into an art with their creative minds in the writing process to make the music so powerful, the beautiful poetry used as lyrics is simply bonus.

One of the best Melodic Death Metal Songs ever!

That's going to be me looking at the solar eclipse this Monday :)

This song has a strong message. It will somewhat inspire you to get back on on your feet and keep going..

When you understand that you can't go back anymore....

Insomnium is one of those bands, that you recognise immediately. Their sound is quite unique.

Masterpiece ❤

I wish they were my neighbours, practicing at 4am I'd be like TURN IT UP!!!!! Fucking love this band!

I cannot stop listening to this song. It's just pure heaven.

This band’s songs rescued me from the edge of depression, incredibly.

Listening to this song while full moon light is shining to my face, what a feeling!

This sound is perfect in this world!!!!

Still one of the best songs you'll ever listen to. 🤤❤

Been obsessed with this song recently the harmonies are so gorgeous every part is played so well and the lyrics are beautiful

The greatest melodeath album of 2014.... possibly of all time

That solo pullin my heartstrings man!

One and a half million views does not even begin to compare to other hugely popular but monotonous pop songs. That is not fair, I blame the teens with too much free time on their hands :D

I'm nearby 60 years jung. Metal konserved my mind and soul🤘✊
