New Release from The Silence Noise – Did You Sleep?  Inspired by the /r/songaweek theme of “Household Instruments.”
More than half the instruments used in this song are samples captured from around my house in the morning including the toaster, refrigerator, sink, microwave, opening/closing curtains, air conditioner, and coffee machine.
Lyrics:
Can you sleep?
Did you sleep?
Is the sunlight through the window in your eyes?
Awake
Awake
Awake
Awake
Mornings come
But my nights not done
It’s not over when my head hits the pillow
Awake
Awake
Awake
Awake
I’m still awake from the sound of dreams
I’m still awake from my thoughts and fears
I’m still awake until the dark has come and gone
I’m still awake until my time’s run out
Awake
Awake
Awake
Awake
Are you here?
No you’re not here?
The light of day it takes you away to the real world
Mornings come
But my nights not done
I cannot raise my head from the pillow where you rest
I’m still awake from the sound of dreams
I’m still awake from my thoughts and fears
I’m still awake until the dark has come and gone
I’m still awake until my time’s run out
