Name: Sleep
Duration: P00H03M27S
Description: Ironically, this song was written in the early hours over a phone call. Like dream sequence transitions in movies, we wanted the music to have a wavy, watery quality. To achieve this we bended the pitch of instruments using ‘wow’ from an early ‘60s tape machine.

lyrics

It’s been a hard day in the clouds
Left me awfully worn out
Laying on the ground
Boy it feels good, calming down

In the golden, golden hour
Make a bed down by the flowers
And float like a feather
Float with the weather
Open like the desert
Boy it feels better

To sleep, there’s never ever any sound
To sleep, there’s nothing that I need yeah
Nothing that I need
Tonight I don’t need no more

Deep sleep
Oceans deep
Deep sleep
Deep sleep

As the west burns in the fire
In the east they grow tired
As darkness fills it up
I’ll take a drink from my cup

When I’m blue in the face
And there ain’t no more race
No more sound, no more tryin’
No more laughin’, no more lyin’

To sleep, there’s never ever any sound
To sleep, there’s nothing that I need yeah
Nothing that I need
Tonight I don’t need no more

Deep sleep
Oceans deep
Deep sleep
Deep sleep

Deep sleep
Oceans deep
Deep sleep
Deep sleep

Honestly not my usual fare, but I'm glad I risked treading outside my more well-trodden scenes to unearth this marvellously faceted gem! There really is something for everyone on this, the vocalist is a verbal shapeshifter and the folksy/bluesy quality of the music makes it sound somehow zany and saturnine all at once. Ben Harris

I've been listening to this album, and others, for a while but the live performances of 'Firecracker' and 'Wild Turkey' , as well ad 'Darlin' Cory', at the Transatlantic Sessions show at the RFH was another level. Live music is the best. The whole concert was insanely good. Shame not to hear 'Black Myself' in that setting but it was all near perfection as it was. oldjembo
