Liner Notes

In Summer 24, this started out with the words 'Sleepless, restless, listless, pointless' . I struggled to make it work and let it rest. Today it became a song about feeling/being lost. It's a rough #acousticonetake and I like it well enough to get it ready for public performance in early March

Lyrics

‘SLEEPLESS NIGHTS’

Sleepless nights
Not what I expected
Sleepless nights
Dead fear resurrected
Sleepless nights
Wondering, wondering ‘Why’

Restless evenings
Seems I’ve got no choice
Restless evenings
Talking to my inner my voice
Restless evenings
We're trying to figure out why

Listless mornings
Doing absolutely nothing
Listless mornings
Life has got no meaning
Listless mornings
Too weak to worry about why

Pointless days
Full of empty feelings
Pointless days
Dark thoughts have me reeling
Pointless days
Don’t even want to know why

Wish someone could tell me
But I know that no-one can
Answers to my big questions
Are always too long
And they never help anyway

Break away
Oh, I wish that I could
Get free and clear
Of this self-destructive loop
That from sleepless nights
To pointless days

Sleepless, restless, listless, pointless
Sleepless, restless, listless, pointless
Nights, evenings, mornings and days
Nights, evenings, mornings and days

This chord progression just carries me along with it. Really like the muffled guitar. And yeah, man do I know that feeling...

Oh mate, this really landed with me, I've had this problem longer than I remember and I totally get the consequent feeling of the "pointless days" that follow. Clearly it was worth resting it for a time, cos it works a treat now and sounds much more natural.
