  • The song is explaining how this man accepts that after death there is nothing, and how he wants there to be nothing.

  • dude... sleep forever is such an epic song, it makes you think about everything yet nothing, doesnt make sense to you maybe but it does to me and i cant stop listening to it, honestly, favorite song forever!

  • @afterlife0129 Especially if you live in Alaska, man. It seems like this song represents what every parent over 50 did to move up here.

  • @brooksnk it proves they are amazing

  • i love them omFG

  • *Go to google and write* The dogs eat human? I`m Feeling Lucky.

  • This song proves they are snow men

  • And that's why you don't run with a loaded gun when dramatic background music is playing

  • @pushkincat9 There was no music silly

  • @pushkincat9 thats why you don't run with your finger on the trigger >.<

  • This is probably the best song I have heard in a matter of years. Incredible.

  • This song proves they are athiest :)

  • @brooksnk This song proves they are religious :)

  • @Eddnatal both of you prove how dumb you are.

  • @Eddnatal huh? how?

  • @ColbyFoote the coment below said the contrary to my coment, and theres nothing in the video sugesting that they are atheist or religious, they dont want to"lead or folow" but by wanting that they do a bit of both. Its a bit of my opinion, that coment was just me trying to joke about it.

  • pretty captivating. i don't know that i've ever seen a music video that was literally jaw-dropping before.

  • Like if you love Portugal the man and "Iron Will" the movie.

    perfect combo haha

  • This has to be played at my funeral!!!

  • i cant tell if he ate the dogs or all the dogs teamed up on one and ate him then ran away

  • a gruesome way to die :\ i wonder why the performer chose an ending like that? :)

  • Living in Alaska and listening to portugal is the only way to live. Lived here 29 years. Always love this band since the days of being local. Congrats guys for making a dream real.

  • Nice Music,

    Funny Name

  • A beautiful film for these songs which keep hope alive for me.

  • i live in alaska. and when they were doing a concert here, i was the smallest one, so my uncle had them come over to my house and sign a shirt. i died. <3

  • Gotta love it here in beautiful Alaska.

  • nota 10 alem de ser um artista exemplar tem um video bastante inovador

  • These guys just give me what I didn't know I needed, but now I don't think I can live without!

  • @YoshiAddict i love your comment! so true for me, too

  • If you could only give 100 likes but you could like the same video multiple times, this video/song would get 99! It would be 100 but I do music and I give my song 1 thumb up!

  • Alaska is very beautiful. My dad told me stories about it, and he was right.

    I am gonna fly there one day while listening to Portugal. The Man.

  • @k5productionss Haha I've lived there my entire life. It's really like a strange cross between Detroit and Wisconsin with really gloomy weather one day and really beautiful weather another day. But that's just Anchorage. Sorry for rambling but I think it's really cool that you want to fly there one day(:

  • WOW amazing... love this !!

  • I hate ads.

  • 13 peoples speakers are broken

  • wow, 10:45!

  • Well that took a dramatic turn.

  • Derpa Derpa Der...I hate things and want to share that opinion on YouTube where it will most certainly matter. Derp Derp Derp. It makes me feel important. Derp.

  • Holy shit I got chills.

  • 10:30 "ow, my brains" lol

  • gay hipster band

  • @Torontoraptures Gay faggot who is like the only person who likes nba still. dont click on it if you dont like it.

  • @iTechfizz1e cause the nba is too mainstream to like right? fucking fag, sorry i cant predict if im going to like a video or not maybe thats why I watched it to fucking find out

  • @Torontoraptures so you searched this song just so you can say that. How about next time you DONT search music you DONT like and NOT leave hateful comments.

  • @gorguada someone posted it,I watched it, I hated it, you made a retarted comment this is youtube I put a comment up, don't go insane its not the worst thing that ever happend get mad at something like terrorism or something you fuckhead

  • @Torontoraptures I understand we all have our opinions, but I don't understand how calling something a "gay hipster band" is appropriate. I would understand criticism, and I wouldn't have a problem with that, but making pointless, hateful comments on Youtube is really immature. Plus you're being extremely derogatory towards homosexuals and there really isn't any reason to be. Oh, and learn how to spell retarded if you're going to use it insultingly.

  • @xMJBGODx you realize that when I watched this I knew that you guys would gets super offended by my comment, I just wanted to see how crazy people get when someone says a band they like sucks

  • @Torontoraptures Exactly. It's immature to post a comment just to get a negative reaction. How old are you again?

  • @xMJBGODx yeah well its also immature to get offended by my opinion

  • @Torontoraptures Except for the fact I said that I wasn't offended by your opinion. I just thought that it was immature to go on youtube to post a hateful comment to get reactions. Oh and your slander of gays is offensive.

  • @xMJBGODx look up Louis C.K.'s video about the word faggot, it will explain my exact opinion about using that word. I never said I hate gay people, and you are obviously offended if you are replying

  • @Torontoraptures You said it was a "Gay hipster band." That is definitely about gay people. hahaha and Yes. Every time I reply to a video about anything it's because I'm offended.

  • @xMJBGODx actually no its not have you ever heard a shitty kid say "thats kinda gay" when he does something completely unrelated to homosexuals like trip on a fucking rock or some shit like that also you seem offended that I am acusing you of being offended

  • @Torontoraptures lol This is hilarious. The angrier you get, the more incoherent your grammar becomes. I don't even undertsand what you just said. I'm done though. Don't be too mad.

  • @xMJBGODx sorry but you both suck hard

  • @gorguada lol i forgot i even posted that. whatever man

  • 30 second commercial.......

  • @tfunknationtown oh no, such a big deal, a business trying to make money. shut the hell up or get off youtube, idiot.

  • @applesauceman And what are you selling fruitcake? Applesauce? For gay sex? Stop fagging up my channel with your gay sauce and fruit spreads, applesauceman!

  • i want this playing at my funeral.

  • @TilaTequila73 Likewise but I also want this song to be playing when I'm dying.

  • does sleep forever mean being dead?

  • ALL OF THESE something the somethings... Portugal The Man is the best

  • my drug counsler showed me this song. she likes indie just as much as i do <3

  • @clima614 Probably because repetition is a great way to build emotional and intellectual responses. At least for about 2,087 of us.

  • are u serious 13 fuckin people disliked this wtf is wrong with them there are 8 billion or more people in this world and counting even 13 of that 8 billion is 13 too many to dislike something as perfect and beautiful as this music and this video thats ridiculous!!!!!!!

  • can anyone tell me why they used like four lines from the song You and I off of Colors?

  • Sleep Forever is my favourite song on the album <3

  • The best shit!

  • this song is the perfect song to smoke a fat joint too, just get totally baked and have a cigarette after ..... awesome

  • I love the last few lyrics. Makes me wanna smoke some and ponder about everything possible.

  • I remember them back when they first popped up in Paste Magazine as a rising artist. So far, so good.

  • These guys are gonna last. They're talent is obvious. This is the shit that transcends time and fads.

  • @HdotFly this is truth.

  • i love portugal the man. the music they make is so beautiful. this video made me cry because of all the beauty and emotion in the vid and music <3

    ahhhh now lets all smoke a bowl ;)

  • Love the Jack London motives in the clip <3

  • w.......t........f

  • Perfect! 

  • @lickingfrog well then it's time to move on and search a new toy, hipster, I guess. I like listening to the new album. And sleep forever just goes so well with this amazing video.

  • @grandelugano i read his post . all i read was blah blah blah . this is far from what's popular right now

  • @grandelugano im not a hipster, u fucker

  • @lickingfrog In all honesty this song gives me hope for the future, it is closer to their old stuff in the way it develops and builds. I understand the frustration though.

  • Comment removed

  • The music was great, the video was going along beautifully, and then they had to add pointless depressing shit which is like celebrating futility. Thanks for nothing. Pisses me off.

  • I can't believe he just fucking. Fell and fucking shot himself in the fucking face. Wow. Just wow.

  • LOVE. BEAUTIFUL.
