Carl Posted February 19, 2011 Report 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?
RockyRaccoon Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 "I'm So Tired"- The Beatles. It's the only one I can think of off the top of my head

Farin Posted February 19, 2011 Report 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

Farin Posted February 22, 2011 Report 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...
Carl Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report 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.
