"Sleep" by Lost Woods – A Song Feature

 

      Unlike too many other songs with praiseworthy percussion, the mixing of “Sleep” permits the listener to appreciate the drumming skill and drummer stamina. Still, the percussion is merely one contribution that draws attention to the song from Lost Woods. The guitars are clean and, at times, intricate. And the vocals are extraordinary, with the song designed to showcase the vocal abilities, As an example, the first two lines of the chorus start with a pronoun and a slight pause before the next word is forcefully stated – this is first executed at 1:56: 

I lay a rested man without a dream to show

I’ll take a lucid feeling even when it hurts

 

     Lost Woods is an Australian (Adelaide) band that includes two pairs of brothers. Twin guitarists Tom Baird and Sam Baird, and the driving rhythm section of Lucas Sly and Miles Sly, are joined by vocalist Peter White.

Lyrics of "Sleep" by Lost Woods
I missed the days where I could be someone else
A bizarre tale to lead without consequence
A dawning of a new day to find nothing but the night
Yearning for a tumble to remember on the other side
 
I’m left alone to pull apart what this means
Gone are the days of scattered humble petty dreams
I wake to feel a lesser man whose slipping out of time
Fumbling for directions to return to the other side
 
I lay a rested man without a dream to show
I’ll take a lucid feeling even when it hurts
An escape from what you are
I need a break to help me find what is right
I lay a rested man without a dream to show
 
I crave the hints I leave to find deep in the night
A place where the truth is worn like a badge of pride
I wake to feel a concerning feeling unfold
Holding onto people that you want to know
 
I lay a rested man without a dream to show
I’ll take a lucid feeling even when it hurts
An escape from what you are
I need a break to help me find what is right
I lay a rested man without a dream to show
