I won't toy with the possible reasons, but sleep ain't come easy lately, and tonight it hasn't come at all; so I'm sitting here at *2:30 in the morning, wondering what the hell to do with myself. Gotta be some music of course, maybe a cup of tea? - a few smokes, this post & I'll have another crack at it... I know why I like a drop of wine now, absent hearts n all that.
These are what I need - very plainly, although it's likely a bit rousing given the circumstances; starts smoothly & calmly enough, then gets all lively about two and a half minutes in. S'funny how certain geographical locations crop up in groups when you trawl the world of music - The Shins are yetanother band from Portland, Oregon, which keeps jumping out lately. Anyhow, it's a bloody good song, and I see they've plenty of gigs going this merry month of May, so catch 'em if you can.

There's a staggering number of sleep-related songs I could knock out, but I should try again myself - good to know I won't be short of appropriateness if the same happens tomorrow; or heaven forbid, later tonight.
* make that 3.30, I'm a slow typer.

I know how you feel Mate, can't sleep half the time either. It goes in cycles for me, not enough sleep, then too much sleep. Ah, that's the depression doing its number on me. Well, hang tough and get some rest if you can... Will be back at you tomorrow or should I say today..
