Insomnia

Slow, slow, slow at the moment - hard getting this one together - oh well!
One for those who have trouble sleeping .....

Some explanation. Slow - as in this one has been on the back burner for a month or two. Couldn't get the motivation to work out where it needed to go. Yesterday, made a decision that this one was either in the bin, or would get posted. Ashley just came back from an all night band practice (cheaper if you do it over night - couldn't see the point my self). Came back rather tired. Not really an insomniac myself, but do have the occasional night when I think too much, and have experienced jet lag a few times. Hence the inspiration for the subject. No sleep, do the tough it out or do you take a nap? Once you have the lyrics - then you have direction to finish. :-)

Also some background info. This is the fret king guitar that I pick up (souped up strat). The mid pick up didn't work, and I was going to take it apart and fix it, yada-yada-yada - never got around to it. However it mysterious is now working? So - dialled in single coils and position 4 on a strat - love that sound. That was the inspiration for the riffs just didn't know where to take it!

Insomnia

Red Bull, but no wings
Triple Espresso, black eye rings
Add some sugar, add some more
Barely conscious, gonna hit the floor
Fading in and out, not really here
Little in the distance, ringing in the ear

All night, straight at the ceiling
Need Sleep, dizziness feeling

Sick at the core, not feeling my best
Did not deserve, just needed to rest
Not much to ask, drift gently away
Kept jumping back, now you must pay

All night, straight at the ceiling
Need Sleep, dizziness feeling

Watching the clock, I'm getting worried
Time moving slowly, it's getting blurry
Desperate awake, its breaking point
float in the ether, after a joint
I'm in a haze, not feeling my best
Wait for that pillow, needing to rest

All night, straight at the ceiling
Need Sleep, dizziness feeling
All night, straight at the ceiling
Need Sleep, dizziness feeling

Crikey if I ever get to be that slow I'll be one happy lady.

Awesome as always Mr B.

This is awesome work with some fine guitar Bruno! The style reminds me of Band of Gypsy's' sound...Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. I wore that album out! A super recording and you're singing to a periodic insomniac.....

That's a nice funky groove you've got going there, bruno! Enjoyed that a lot.

I love this funky little, sleep deprived groove. I struggle with a good nights rest so this hits home with me.
rock on!

[Greeny]

This is superb. That bass-laden funky groove grabbed me straight away, and it felt quite Billy Gibbons-ish to me. Some top-notch guitar work: love all the little licks and interplays. So good!!!!!

[TPB]

Loving it from the playing to the vocals gave me the Tom Waits feel
Great job
