Carl 22 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I thought this might be a good category, or maybe two categories. Questions: 1) What are some songs about sleep? 2) What are some songs about insomnia? 3) Should this be one category or two? Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 1. would that include songs about dreaming as well? Sleep ~ The Dandy Warhols I Need Some Sleep ~ Eels Daydream in Blue ~ I Monster Enter Sandman ~ Metallica (maybe?) 2. Insomnia ~ Faithless Daysleeper ~ R.E.M. (could fit both categories) Wednesday Morning, 3am ~ S&G 3. depends on how much we'll find for each Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 how many songs do we have about sleep and how many about insomnia now? I don't know all of them... Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Looks like there's definitely a distinction between insomnia/nightmare songs and sleep songs, so I think we have 2 categories here. Dream-related songs I think can fit into the sleep category. Keep 'em coming. Link to post Share on other sites
