okay, everybody's talking about how great the song is, can we please acknowledge the video (!!!) which they apparently directed, edited and shot themselves. It's so freaking good

This video needs to win an award.

That actor needs his props, dude makes this whole video

I didn't realize till my fifth time watching that he already crashed his car in the lake and the movie theater is him watching his life flash before his eyes there are so many layers to this video. Including the burning piano which is was her passion and him burning it to get rid of the memories. Plus the opening of the video is him arriving back home from his near death experience to embrace is (I'm guessing) mother. Hence the soaked clothes. This is the most polished music video I've seen in a long time.

In little above five minutes, this band manages to encapsulate the full spectrum of human emotion, from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy. It's a testament to their skill as artists, their ability to tap into the very essence of what it means to be human and translate it into music that speaks to the very core of our being.

I feel so bad for people who won’t give this genre of music a chance. They’re missing out on masterpieces like this.

My Wife and I lost our baby back in November, the scene where they are cuddling in the hospital room bought back that pain so well and done it massive justice didn't sugarcoat it and showed how it truly feels. Thank you to both the actors and to While She Sleeps. This song is beautiful and simply amazing!!

This song is more heart touching than any love movie out there.

This shows how I feel, lost my 4 day old boy last March, nothing has felt the same since, I have a 3yr old girl who requires me everyday, keep strong, ask for help, DO NOT suffer in silence, there's always someone out there for you to make it through, YOU ARE WE!!!

It is an honor to be part of Sleeps artistic journey. They evolve with every record and this new one could just be their most diverse album yet. This song is beautiful and the visuals are just stunning. I really felt that one! So happy and proud to be part of the Sleeps Society!

I really don't know how long it took to shoot this video,but this is totally another level for While She Sleeps! A short MOVIE. Incredible emotions in 5 minutes, so deep and amazing. Blessed to see this

To everyone, including their own stories in these comments: thank you, sincerely. Even sharing these have a great impact on helping people know they're not alone. I've been taking care of my mother for the last 2 years, through cancer, the death of my father, & now a sudden brain tumor. I'm 25, put my career on halt, & have been the most alone I've ever felt through this. It means more than I thought it would just to hear all of your stories & attitudes. & thank you to While She Sleeps for providing such an artistic conduit.

I'm not crying, you're crying 🥲

"in this cruel world, you're the only beautiful living thing" SO BEAUTIFUL WSS

Rob Peach is such an underrated actor, the sheer emotion in this video was INSANE!

I discovered this song yesterday while driving back home from my band's concert. Played it on repeat for 4 hours straight while crying over 'us'. She was sleeping in the passenger seat and I barely pulled my thoughts together while gripping the steering wheel. We've had this kind of relationship for the past 5 years... last month, she decided that she wants to move forward and be 'just friends'. Two nights ago I lost all hope; all the talks & changes couldn't fix 'us' this time, she's really serious about it. 'Just friends' feels impossible for me right now, as I still have so many feelings left for her. She was my best friend and the only one I felt comfortable sharing every thought with. Today, the only thing I'm sure about is that without her, I can't feel anything but 'down'. Tomorrow, I'll be moving back to my parents place for a while... I only watched the music video this morning and it's exactly how I pictured 'us' on the road back home. Incredible composition, outstanding acting. Thank you While She Sleeps. Thank you Robert Peach and Anna Thornley

Sean long is a gift from god himself

Right in the feels guys 🖤 to everyone: there is hope for every one of us, no matter how dark the hole you're in seems to be like. WE are all here for you. Reach out, don't do drugs. You are we 🖤

4:25 whoever was responsible for this riff needs an award

3 years sober, fucking grateful. This was a masterpiece

Been dealing with depression and numbness for a long time now, thank you for reminding me what it's like to feel again because I was losing hope. You'll never know how much this meant to me

This is exactly the reason that While She Sleeps will always be my favorite band of all time.

One of the greatest music videos I’ve ever seen. The song is great but the video brought me tears.

There's no other way to explain this. In some way, it's relevant to all of us in whatever way your life has gone. Everyone's path has been a little bit different, but this is art. It's beautiful in everything it could possibly mean to any person. But...for God's sake, give Sean his credit on that freaking lead work. Always incredible. There's always hope guys. Even when all you want to do is curl up in a ball, and cry for a minute before you have to get up to do life. Everyone, be well. Its hard sometimes, but it's always possible. "You are not alone", ever.

Emotional rollercoaster. The last minute of the song really reaches in and grips your soul... If you have one.

Everything about this band is beautiful.

My last longterm relationships were drowned in a drug addiction, both were struggling through many mental issues, but loving each other from full heart. I had moments when I was afraid of a possibility to pass out due to unreal doses we were using. I remember this episodes when I felt doomed by an addiction and in the end we were in a toxic but addictive relationship. In the ending road of this nightmare I was too close to commit a suicide. This pain was something more powerful and at the same time the regrets... Now I can control myself, we broke up and I am developing myself in many things and I got a will to live. Just want to let you know, even if there is an episode where you think there won't be a brightside, continue fighting

As a filmmaker, the emotion this video produced is equal parts as beautiful as the song. I haven't watched a video that has brought me to tears in such a way, in a LONG time. Bravo. Being able to convey the joy and extreme heartbreak over arguably the most joyous moment of ones life, in just under 6 minutes is genius level work.

That shot of the burning piano is phenomenal. Love the work you guys do.

It's a shame this song's only 5min24sec long. Yet it's a blessing While She Sleeps exists.

Never heard this band before, but by the end of the video I was sobbing, you know you've done something right when I actually cry for once

hard not to cry when the scene hits at 3:12 showing them laughing together.

This song is what art is all about. The fact one song can make you have so many emotions within a short amount of time is the greatest feat an artist can strive for. And While She Sleeps has surpassed that feat. Well done boys, keep making music for us to feel and not just listen to. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Absolute chills, grown ass man and I'm ballin my eyes out. What an emotional piece of art, and such a sad but incredible visual display that the music fits perfectly. You guys are masters at your craft, thank you for this. Cannot wait for the new album

Been struggling a lot in the past few years with feeling numb and disconnected to who I really am. This song made me tear up 5 seconds into the video. Music has such a beautiful way of making us feel what the artists behind it want us to feel.❤

Damn this video... I already watched it a thousands times, and I still can't get over it. The actors are so talented, the colors, the construction... It's juste a masterpiece from start to finish, and then you add the music...Oh god what I time to be alive and have the chance to be touched by this magnificent song that instantely became my favorite. Can't wait for the new album and see how much your talent is gonna change my life AGAIN. Just thank you WSS. You are we.

That guitar at the start...is...amazing

The best song they have released since the You Are We era.

Go subscribe to our guitarists UKposts channel - @seanBR8

I haven’t been this attached to a song in a long time. It’s like my soul had already heard it before.

That solo gave me chills

heard the riffs and wanted to cry immediately please drop this

I work in the film industry and this has had my jaw hit the floor more than anything in years. This is like 4 feature films worth of insanely artistic shots rolled into one. I don't know whose responsible but take a fucking bow. Excuse me, the song is also incredible btw. - these guys absolutely slap live.

This is straight up probably the best music video I have seen in the last decade. Absolutely beautiful.

It's amazing how the intensity of a song can be enhanced by a music video. This is truly an awe-inspiring piece of art.

The kind of music that makes me feel alive

That dude can act. Usually i don’t care about acting but that dude crushed it. Also Sean making me simultaneously want to get better at guitar and also quit with those unique amazing leads

2:34 has to be some of the most brilliant match cuts i've seen in a while. Stylistic, rhythmic, beautiful contrast between the colour composition and theme of the two shots, and in sync with the music. Holy hell, this music video is the golden standard of music videos.

God this is heartbreaking, beautiful, thought provoking, and stunning, the actors were a great choice, Robert has amazing emotion in his eyes, great work guys.

I know this band has so many great songs, but this one right here goes all the way to the top for me. What a song!

I’m convinced that we need songs like this to feel certain emotions.

It’s incredible how realistically this video shows love and lost. How they are both clearly in love but also so deeply flawed.

That music video is one of the most emotionally raw and powerful music videos I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Well done.

Honestly this is phenomenal. Not only the banger song but, yall made this video yourselves! How can a band be this talented and also just become genuinely talented filmmakers that can make such an evocative shortfilm. Really beauitful stuff lads, you are a neverending inspiration. Gonna go cry over this video now.

Sean that solo was pure gold ❤❤❤

Im crying my eyeballs out 😭😭😭 so much emotions in these five minutes 💔

This video is so good that I couldn’t hear the music… only stare at the scenes and cry. Amazing job.

With the video next to it, this song takes on new meanings, it's just tear-jerking, the video is incredible and the meanings are embedded in it

This song and video absolutely broke me down. It just feels like my past relationship put into a video and it's a raw feeling, which I can not escape.

Speaking from someone who's lost a child in the late stages of pregnancy, I can say it's one of the hardest things to come back from. Not many people do. It's taken my wife and I almost a year and a half to get back to "normal." I can only understand so much not being the one who physically went through it, but the pain runs deep. Be there for them even if sometimes you're the one that has to absorb a bit of that pain. Hold them closely and know its neither of your fault. If you dont hold each other up, then one of you could drown in the sorrow. Live for each other and the future. Go through the process as long as it takes. It won't be easy , but you won't be alone.. There's always a brighter tomorrow ahead after the darkness.

Constantly reinforcing the fact that this is my favourite band for a reason. Just beautiful

It is incredible the meaning that the song takes with the short..

Krishnamurti's words speak deep in this one. While She Sleeps are on their philosopher arc now.

What a masterpiece - both the video and song. Never thought that there would be bands like this, but here we are - and it's better so.

Honestly, best track I’ve heard from this band is a very long time. Used to be a die hard from the beginning but last couple albums haven’t resonated with me. This tune feels special.

Greatest band. Perfect song. Very good actors and director. Thanks

Whovever directed this deserve all praise.

Such a great video/song. Had me breakdown crying. 5 year relationship turned into absolutely nothing. She ended up cheating on me with my dad’s co worker. Keep rolling with the punches boys

this isnt just a beautiful song. but a beautiful story.

What a haunting way to represent how it feels to watch the world die and feel complicit, full of remorse and overwhelming sadness The same space we shared our happiest moments now hollow and empty. That the life we loved is dead

Holy shit… I’ve never had a music video move me like this did. I’m at a loss for words. Wow. This is your guys masterpiece.

This band is pure GOLD

these ninjas in the background are cutting onions again. what a banger track

huge. i knew it. but.. this love like wounds on heart, will never fade away, will always make you remember about that time. that time where you was happy. and with her. huge. so huge, i can't describe it. thank you.

I've watched this video 20+ times in the last 2 days & each time there's something new to notice. This time it was realising why he's ringing out his t-shirt at the start 😢 The lost art of music videos is needed for the very reason that is this masterpiece. We all take our own subjective message or meaning from a song, but a real, powerful video like this conveys so much about the thoughts behind the words & the notes. It helps reach that extra realm of potential of connecting deeper from band to fan, no matter where in the world. Their heavy songs hit in every way imaginable live, but some of their songs driven by the suffering that comes with feeling are so emotionally profound that they cry out for an alternatively artistic way to portray their story such as this. What a song, what a video, absolutely beautiful #youarewe

This video really transported me somewhere, into their story, and has me thinking about my own. Life is truly awful and beautiful throughout, and you can’t imagine the extreme lows and highs until you’ve experienced them. Very beautifully shot, acted, and viscerally real.

This hits in the feels so much that I don’t want to anymore 😭🔥 Unbelievable, outdoing themselves again

2:35 the transition 🔥

so much sense in this vid

the music. the video. it's pure perfection. every single member in this band is a true artist. you are so inspiring. I love you while she sleeps 💌

The best single so far. This is sleeps at their best. Love everything about it. Great work guys

2:35 i can look at this again and again. beautiful. great work

I can't stop crying

I had to grieve my unborn baby on my own a while ago ..and reached breakup due to the depression that caused me. The scene where they lost the baby made my tears go down like a river. This depicts the emotions I felt back then especially that the event led to a break up as well. It actually made me feel not alone in it, the chaos one experience in their life in the aftermath of such event is insane. The complexity of that cant be put into words. Yet the video knew how to transmit those emotions..lots of respect for this piece of art. And lots of courage to all thise going through something similar. 🙏🏻

What a emotional experience. Now the song win more meaning to us. Shot-out to Aaran, the rest of the guys, and all the crew behind all the stuff that WSS do. This will be a TOP record in all the sense of the word and media

THIS IS CINEMA. I WISH IT WAS TWO HOURS LONG. ❤

This song and video are powerful. It expresses so many deep themes. One of those being grief over the death of a loved one. Another is the isolation of loss. It’s also interesting to see how through the whole video, it’s basically only the couple. The video appears to be a reflection of modern views on romantic relationships. There are no other supports, or community, or even other people. The couple walks alone in the park. They eat alone in a diner. They dance alone in an empty dance hall. The older woman (who could be his mother, or at least a family member) comes only at the end to console him, and express affection. The only other people that possibly could be present are those in the other cars at the drive-in movie, which as another commenter pointed out, could just be him experiencing his life flashing before his eyes. The video does a great job of expressing all the highs and low -love, the announcement of a baby, the loss of that baby, the loss of a partner, drug use, and the fall out. The hard part to deal with is there is little hope left in the video. And the lyrics match this sentiment as well (“we’re all going down to the flowers.”) In the end, it appears that the man has a second chance; he has survived his water suicide attempt. But what will he do now? He has lost the woman that he has loved - the whole video is him fixated on her. (The band is called “While She Sleeps” and the album is “Self-Hell.”) We all need something outside ourselves to hope in. Otherwise, we are stuck in the same abyss from the song (“It’s too late, nothings gonna change at all. Nothing gonna change at all.”) Only God can give us that ultimate hope. My prayer is that everyone that watches this video, and relates to the painful subjects presented, find hope in Jesus. Instead of numbing ourselves to pain (like with drugs, or attempting suicide, or many other things), we can find peace in God. Everyone needs hope to live and to love.

I don't know what just happened to me but I've never experienced how I feel right now. All in a good way too. Incredible video for a beautiful song. Thank you!

Honestly can't stop playing this back to back.. You got me on this one, wow..

Came for the music, stayed for the video. Well, and the music.

I think we all wanted another song like this in our generation

2:34 THIS SCENE ITS JUST SO F*UCKIN GOOD!!!!!

I'm so speechless. Thank god we can witness while she sleeps making music

Lovely song. I understand, you're not alone. I visit my dead son, Spartacus aka "Sparty". Spartacus forever took a piece of my heart and it will ache till I take my last breath. It's hard to visit my baby son at the cemetery but I do. And I always remained strong even after losing him. I didn't numb the pain with drugs, alcohol, sex, food, work, exercise, or the terrible internet. I dealt with it and faced all the emotions and got personal help, and I thank God always for the strength I have. I honor my son by being stronger and a better person every day. I honor my son by being strong for his little brother he now has and my husband. It's okay to have emotions and it's okay to be human. U keep your head up. Bless you. And bless your little angel. My angel son is doing greater things beyond this world and I know yours is too. I lost Spartacus on October 26 of 2022, he was perfectly formed and a lovely weight but a stillborn . His little brother was born on October 26 2023! Same day, baby snake. 😇. I was treated pretty bad both my pregnancies mainly by my own family especially. My husband was the only one truly there for me and I'm still greatful. Smile because they're proud of u and I know mine is too. Pain is privilege to a warrior 🙏.

The transition at 2:34 is incredible

I've never seen such an amazing music video like this.. This song really made my heart ache

No doubt of the best songs of 2024 🖤

The talent of this band never fails to amaze me. The depth of some songs, subjects and videos are way beyond what other genres can bring. WSS & metal forever 🤟🖤

I literally feel like someone has plucked this script for a song and music video from my life. Even at that time I listened to a lot of Polaris 'The Mortal Coil' (album cover with a drowning person) 6 years ago, she had a name like a flower and I was incredibly happy. She charmed me with her piano playing, her tenderness, her love. Years later, after she left for the studies, she died of toxicity let herself be devoured by materialism and I had to leave her. After those years, I don't think I can cure this loss myself, nothing has been able to so far, nor have I. I fear I have died and will never be the same again. I just can't love anyone as much as I loved her that time. And nothing gonna change at all.

This is just mind blowing how good it is
