Sleepthief with Zoe Johnston and Coury Palermo - Reason Why

[knowwhentofoldem]

Thanks so much for making a life's moment so meaningful to you one that we can feel and share. Music like this transcends anything that can be said about it with words. That is what makes it so powerful. Even the vocalists can't help but be captivated by the experience and sing to each other as if they shared this experience between themselves. A gift from your life, through your talent, to touch the hearts of all of us. Thank you.

[MrAlexm0711]

This song is absolutely amazing, going through tough times right now, i go to bootcamp this summer.., my girlfriend, my soulmate, has to move..., and i know i want to be with her forever and this song makes me realize it more and more after i listen to it, i dont know what id do without her... I Love You Taylor C.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@MrAlexm0711 Best to you Mr. Alex (and Taylor!)

[devilhunterred]

@MrAlexm0711 I'm sorry to say kid, but your gf is most likely not going to be your wife or the love of your life. Almost all of us had that one girl who we thought we will spend the rest of our lives with, but guess what? 99% of the time she isn't.

But we always find someone else. Take it as it is and learn it as an experience, a memory, and use it to improve yourself into a better man.

[MrBernibest]

Beautiful song and video :)*

[Alisa123498]

My god cant get enough of this song..so beautiful

[DarkKnight906]

The vocal layering in this song is just incredible, Zoe and Coury are in perfect synch :D

[DarkKnight906]

I have to say this is your best song to date Mr Justin...keep it up :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@DarkKnight906 x

[Zeodore]

Can I rent you guys on my future marriage? I don't got much money but I promise you'll get some cake. :)

[DarkKnight906]

I can't get enough of this song, it's so beautiful :D

[jukbob12]

Pretty great how its in the Tabernacle :)

[Gtrplyr1]

It's crazy how I can go from metal to this. absolutely beautiful.. You guys are truly gifted :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@Gtrplyr1 Very kind, thank you so much.

[peppermill33]

I can't "like" this song enough. It is truly moving...

[redvyxyn]

So beautiful I cried when I heard this! Truly the voices of angels, thank you for sharing your gifts with us!

[OriginalPaulieD]

Zoe and Coury - you're both amazing. This track is my favorite by Sleepthief. I can't get enough of it.

Coury - if I read correctly, you have a new CD as of 2011. If so, where online can it be found?

[bootyness1]

zoe jonhston has an extremely god like voice , best female vocals , she sounds ace in trance / techno

[madeira73]

Incredible.

[GosiaGo2]

Words occur to be so meaningless when it comes to express one's reaction to such an amazing song. They just tend to be useless ...

Music does have the soul, I've just gained a proof.

[perry801]

Awesome, awesome song! Beautifully sung and produced. I first heard it on "In The Mood Music" a New Age music channel and had to send them an e-mail to tell me who it was because I just had to have the song. Gorgeous harmonies. Who are these people and why aren't they famous?

[ThePensive8]

I cannot get enough of this song! Pure and real, wrapped around the emotional essence of the soul through harmonic beauty!

[malachiteknight]

Because of this song, I realized I want to marry my girlfriend. Thank you for making this.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@malachiteknight That is so incredible!! Thank you. So glad the music played a role in some way. 

[princessrere3]

@malachiteknight should probably..marry ur gf even without the song dude o_o

[renttree]

239 people got it right.. amazing!!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@myoka1 :)



[jennybirdy1]

Beautiful song ... held a very special meaning for me once upon a time ... maybe still does

[mtsol001]

I didn't know Adam Sandler can sing like that.

[sicktearr]

it's simply... amazing

[windigo44]

I photographed the Tabernacle in stages as it burned.

I'm glad this got filmed inside there before that - sweet voices here seem more angelic, elegaic now.

From one JRCLS alum to another - thank u for this piece of aural/visual art.

Beautiful time capsule.

[Levi8181]

cool

[marin2905]

Love the cds ,love the video,sincere thanks

[Kelnosha]

Beautiful song and beautiful building! Are you guys from Provo? That Tabernacle reminds me of the one in Saint George a bit.

[TheInnerSanctuary]

Coury~ *Swoon*

[whereswaldo777]

Thanks Sleepthief, Zoe, and Coury! Now I can't stop thinking about her! >.<

[7EarthVirgo]

Took the words right out of my mouth lol

[Ebrang95]

Angel's voice !!! So beautiful !!!! But can somebody give me lyrics for this song , please please please please please !!! I would be so thankfull !!!!! i have never heart for these singers but they have the most beautiflur voice i have ever heart !!!!! <3

[Ebrang95]

Angels's voice !!! <3 I love it !!! But can somebody give me lyrics for this song please please please please please !!!!!!! I would be so thankful !!!!

[L4nott]

The roof of the Provo tabernacle was destroyed by fire this morning. Thank you Justin for preserving some memories of this beloved structure. And I loved the video BEFORE!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@L4nott I was just really sad to hear that such a beautiful building was destroyed, and I am SO glad I captured this on video before it burned.

[andrearocksmore]

@SLEEPTHIEFofficial I am so grateful for your musical and artistic ability. I have a genuine appreciation for venues like the Provo Tabernacle. The sound born by such perfect acoustics is timeless. Much love to all who poured their hearts and souls from this particular venue and thank you for the memories to last a lifetime. Gorgeous video. Beautiful voices.

[greg71579]

I'm sorry if I offend some of her fans, but she really isn't on the same level as Coury. Her range is extremely limited.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@greg71579 It's not offensive. Musically views or totally subjective. I would, though, suggest you listen to Zoe's work done with other artists and as a solo artist. She has an incredible range. One of the best singers around!

[greg71579]

@SLEEPTHIEFofficial

I will check her out further, thanks. I really like the band name, though. It would make a great nickname for someones love interest. : )

[sumprsn]

Such heavenly voices! Gah, it gave me goosebumps^^

[momodavy]

Love Zoe, but I couldn't listen to this after 15 seconds of horrible cliche lyrics.

[Westchaser]

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I never listen to the radio any more; especially since my smartphone has Internet access. Discovered Sleeptheif only recently on Google .. wasn't even searching for that either! Otherwise, I typically discover new music on Pandora.com.

Is your music getting US airplay?

All of the featured artists are amazing in their own right. Instant fan of Coury Palermo, especially.

[JaykeMEllis]

absolutely mezmering! romantic, sexy, emotional the voices the music perfect. mix! bring me more.

[RaVe4EvR122]

Your videos need more views. It's so unfair that pathetic little losers like Justin Bieber get more money and audience reach than talented artists like this. In fact it's a crime.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@RaVe4EvR122 Sad that the music machine prevents many great artists from being heard. I feel that way about alot of artists I listen too. Thank you for the support! Every listener counts. :)

[Lisasue39]

Justin, you should do a concert with all of the singers you featured on your cds or even a tv concert. That would be awsome.

[jennyjoe798]

This has to be one of the most beautifully haunting songs I've ever heard. This will eternally be one of my favorite songs ever or ALL time! I love you all! You all are beautiful amazing people! Thank you for your gifts!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@jennyjoe798 Much love to you Jenny...thank you.

[jennyjoe798]

@SLEEPTHIEFofficial You're very welcome! :)

[fatasuir9]

It's only one word "Fantastica" ...

I feel much more loved by this sound track and the Vocals! ..

I'm sooo in love with your music production Sleeptheif ...I'm buying your two albums right away

keep up the good work,

[Lisasue39]

I love this song, your voices go good together and Coury you are a cutie pie.

[edster1973]

[courypalermo]

@edster1973 answer above - thank you for the question. all my best.

c-

[acidmonkey1000]

BRILLIANT !!!

[FeFe3O4]

God I iwsh we could see Zoe sing "The Way You Want It To Be" in this type og Vignet [sic] Beautiful music by beautiful people for a beautiful world.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@FeFe3O4 xx That is so sweet. Thank you.

[edster1973]

this braught tears to my eyes wah.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

[edster1973]

[adorkablee808]

1 person who must have clicked the wrong button, because it is physically, and mentally impossible to dislike this song/video. <3

[CorbinAllred]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the ambiance. This music resonates deeply with me right now as I've found somebody I feel for in this way more and more as each day passes. Glad I found this tonight! Interestingly enough, it's 3:13am and she is very much on my mind, as is my possible future with her. Thanks, Justin!

[idiotontheloose12345]

Haunting, enlightening, hypnotic! My daughter and I are thrilled with your melodies, we love your ensemble's name and thank you for making our musical universe more beautiful. We yearn for more... We'd love to know the english translation of the Hebrew on Coury's left wrist if you don't mind sharing.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@idiotontheloose12345 Thank you so much. Tell your daughter thanks too :)

I am working on new music at the moment, so hopefully something late 2011. I will ask Coury what the Hebrew says.

x

[courypalermo]

@idiotontheloose12345 Thank you for the kind words and the question. My left wrist says "beginning" in Italian but in Hebrew letters and my right wrist says "end" - also in Italian but written in Hebrew.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@idiotontheloose12345 Many thanks to you and your daughter. xx

[DeejayLarz2006]

this is what I like to call a beautiful masterpiece ....all of your music is just incredible! I am a HUGE fan of this style. My album that we're in the process of recording is going to have some mellow styles like this on it actually. You are truly an inspiration!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@DeejayLarz2006 Oh thank you so much! Let me know when your album is ready!

[DeejayLarz2006]

@SLEEPTHIEFofficial I absolutely will :) 

[AubreyBTC]

Haven't heard voices this beautiful in a long time. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing such beauty us.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@AubreyBTC

xx

[anastasismusic]

we need good songs like this!!!

simple, atmospheric, melodic......

all sleepthief's songs have these characteristics....THANK YOU

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@anastasismusic I appreciate the comment! Very inspired to get positive messages.

[adorkablee808]

wow. breathtaking once again. a personal favorite from you. this song reaches deep within my heart for some reason. the lyrics and music combined run so deep. they reach out to me so wonderfully. thank you once again, for touching my heart, and soul, sleepthief, and all singers. a personal thanks to all of you. :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@adorkablee808 This song has such a very private personal meaning for me when I wrote it, so I am so grateful that the feelings behind the song have found a spot in your heart.

[lynxharlequin]

That was incredible!

[BeautifulSoulgurl]

i just love this song and video cant stop watching it loveing singing zoe is awsome so is coury and love sleepthief in general their music is just great and breath taking

[cliffgreene]

I was so happy to find your CD for sale, I sampled it in store. I was hooked when I heard "World Gone Crazy". You choose great vocalists. Now if only I could find your debut album.

[KleenezeDon]

Absolutely the best from Justin, Coury and Zoe. Brilliant song, perfect video.

[celebratenight]

店でいつも聴いていた大好きな曲。大事な人が店に来た時も一緒に­聴きたくてかけた曲。後悔先にたたず。人の気持ちが分かる人にな­らなくちゃ。っていう言葉大事にするね。本当にごめんね。またい­つか会えるかな？

[peppermill33]

Incredibly moving and truly a work of art...

[theAuroraLilyLauren]

so hauntingly beautifuL~ so sweet, so magickaL

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@theAuroraLilyLauren

My thanks!

[retros26]

Just found your music and totally addicted! This song if beautiful just what I needed after a stormy month! Answers to a prayer. Thank you!!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@retros26 I appreciate hearing that so much. I am always truly flattered and amazed that my music might be special to someone out there. :)

[darzka]

Amazing Beautiful Thank you! ♥

[fkmetiff]

Play every day, best recording of all time

[yoplaitmajor]

Outstanding song. But the stars here (much respect Mr. Elswick!!) are Coury and Zoe. Their harmonies postively haunt the melody and dangle it from a celestial place. The song breathes a hopeful sadness and energizes my soul -- BRAVO on your choice of vocalists!

[JUAREZ125]

=.[

[johnwwillie]

It's 2 AM, can I say this....FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!

[AFYAGHIRISH]

...when a soul makes the difference, creates beauty, harmony like this music, everyone that listen it touch a new world of peace and love...

this music transport me to a better place, relax me and transform my day...

You Justin is a great talent, this is the reality !!!

hugs.

s.a.g.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@AFYAGHIRISH Much love back to you. All of the amazing support from the fans really helps me keep wanting to do this...I feel so grateful for all of you.

[Niniil]

its such a sweet song. it makes me miss my boyfriend... its fits the both of us

[haywood375]

This song has hit home for me like no other i have heard before! Unbelievably emotionally loaded vocals and lyrics! Simply stunning!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@haywood375  Thank you. It was such an important personal song for me, so thank you for connecting with it (and me)

[peppermill33]

I agree...This song has touched me deeply...thank you Justin, Coury and Zoe...wow...completely relevant...so happy....so filled with love....

[BUweB]

What a wonderful Piano Song - sung with so much PASSIONE ♥

[ttrevorttaylor]

I am so taken with your combined talents. It is truly awesome! I can not wait for future songs/slbums from all of you!!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@ttrevorttaylor Big thanks for such a nice compliment.

[iunee]

I'm coming back again and again to watch the video and listen to the song... it's so amazing.

I hope I am not the only one who sings along...

What's the "t-uh" at the ending, though? It looks funny everytime :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

haha. That "t-uh" was because when Zoe sang one of the passes, she ended the word "tonight" with a very heavy "t-uh" at the end. When we shot the video, the ending hadn't been mixed, so it was still in there. She was basically making fun of herself. I thought it was hilarious in the video, and so left it in.

[frenchycp]

this one of my favorite songs from the album! the voices, the music, everything is so melodious!

[Guchyboy]

Hola!, estoy encantado con tu trabajo, las voces de estos seres es increible, los felicito. Su música me llega mucho. Lots of love from Argentina. Gustavo.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Lots of love back to you Gustavo. Thank you for commenting and listening my friend.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

thank you C. means a lot coming from you.

[Dan7ei]

This made weep. Just recently broke up with someone I cared for and this touched a chord. You three, Justin, Coury, and Zoe made such a beautiful piece. Breathless.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@Dan7ei Very touched to hear this. Nothing could make me happier than hearing that the music has made small dent in your heart. I wish you the very best in all things!

[TheTrogdorX]

Still probably my favorite track from the new album, it is fun being able to see Zoe and Coury, and you, in action. Just curious, where were you at playing the piano, it looks familiar.

[johnwwillie]

Justin was playing "skimming stones" at that piano in that room on an earlier video available at his channel...

[johnwwillie]

I LOVE IT!!!! After I downloaded the album at itunes this became, and continues to be my favorite song off the whole record!!!! Great work!!

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Thanks buddy!

[djvandrake]

An absolutely beautiful song, well performed by all.  A joy to listen to and to watch in this video. Thanks. :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

xx

:)

[sonicbird73]

beautiful justin! xxx

[allenm541]

I gotta ask, when Zoe starts singing is it just her voice, layered many times with her own, or is Coury's voice somehow infused with that part of the track as well? Before watching this video, I'd assumed that Coury sung through the whole thing. Their voices sound very similar, which might be why they blend so well in this song.

I also think that even though the voices are superb, it's the song writing that's at the core of it, as well as the piano work, which is excellent.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Coury and Zoe both sing their own verses at the beginning. Then, their voices start blending in the chorus. In the final verse, it is both of them together singing the verse, prechorus and chorus. I love the way they sound together. And thank you for the nice comment!

[pennyk1978]

Wow!! Absolutely stunning once again Justin. You never cease to amaze me. I ended the relationship on V-day,and that was not my choice. So as always,this song really speaks to me right now and seeing you handsome always makes me day brighter. ;-) Coury and Zoe are amazing!!

[GDePannis]

"some things should not be said 'cause they could never be the truth" ... can't get it out of my head.

Excellent... Zoe's voice is melting me...

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@GDePannis When I first heard Zoe sing that line, I got chills. It captures so much of what I was trying to say in the music. She is just...unbelievably gifted.

[starseedenergy]

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!!

[apawstate]

Their voices are so velvety smooth.

[LambentBoleyn]

gorgeous. utterly gorgeous.

[allenm541]

This song is a winner - I love it. At the part where Zoe is singing it sounds like it's actually layered with Cory's voice as well, and maybe some others. Anyway, that mixture of voices is really well done. I also like where the bass comes in because it allows the song to build up. I think the part with the bass is one of the best parts of the song.

[808ryuusei]

Awesome stuff! It's great to watch you do your thing on the piano as well. Amazing talent. Thanks, this made my day.

[eanderson1974]

Great video, and I love the song too.

[loveseasytears]

nice colors, video feels warm and inviting

[xEscapistx]

This is just so beautiful and simple and pure... absolutely perfect. <3

[Mateer]

This is my favorite Sleepthief song! Coury and Zoe are amazing! Great job Justy! :)

[synesthesiss]

simply beatiful. it's so...human and lovely.

thanks for sharing this kind of videos. by the way, so curious Palermo's microphone :-)

[allenm541]

Looks like a mic by the company BLUE... not sure what model though.

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@allenm541 uh huh :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Very touched all of you--thank you so much!

[amanezco1]

Amazing!!!! Wow, well done..this is such a beautiful song and I loved the video..thank you for making it!!! The colors are fantastic, the concert hall looks very nice, I love to see Justin playing piano, singers together singing..THE LYRICS TOUCH MY HEART..ahhh..

[pskcatlet]

Justin -

this song touches me so very much. It is the most played song on my ipod.

The vocal chemistry between Coury and Zoe is fantastic, and of course - your talent on the piano shines as it does on its own.

<3

[MoonCancer]

I can't get enough of your music! Especially when Coury Palermo is singing... He has such a beautiful voice.

[SatXII]

This song is utterly beautiful :). Thank you for sharing this, Justin.

[humanplastics]

OH MY GOODNESS! justin seriously you're amazing! thank you for sharing your talent with all of us !!!

[joakodg00]

Excellent excellent excellent.

[lshanermi]

Goosebumps!

[VietnameseYumYum]

Wow! It's really interesting to see the singers in studio, and the piano. Beautiful architecture. I always loved this song. Thanks! :)

[SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

Thank you all. I love Coury and Zoe, this it makes me feel really good to look back on the recording of this song together.

[salemnegro86]

God! Love it so much! Thank you Justin, this is a great video for a great song, made my day =D greetings from Buenos Aires and still hoping you to come here!

[aliveonadream]

Amazing! This is by far one of the best songs EVER! Great video to go with it! Love seeing behind the scenes!

[startdigging]
