Insomnia

First original song with my band in Mumbai (ECHOES) :)

Echoes are:
Soumitra – Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Abhishek – Lead Guitars
Tapas – Bass
Erwy (temporarily) – Drums

It was damn good fun recording it (needless to say). Some 15 hours worth of studio time for a 5 minute track! Fu**ing hell!

Its an analog recording on a 8 track mixer and cost us nothing (thanks to a good friend :P)The lyrics have been written by Abhishek and the melody’s a product of abhi and my collaborative efforts. I play the intro to the song and Abhi’s done the rest of the guitars except for a short solo of mine in the middle. I hope you like it!

Lyrics

I lay awake, in these sleepness nights,
staring at a shadow o the wall,
is it me or my destiny,
is the thought that haunts my all.

I visualize a life, for which i die everyday.
Is there a god who listens, when I pray.

Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.

It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.

I look at myself in a mirror,
I see a swirling ocean, yeah.

Swimming through, the currents and the storms,
I’m swimming on and on and on….

I’ve tried hard to make it,
I’ve tried hard to fake it,
I’m gonna have to make it,
through one day, yeah…..

Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.
It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.

Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.
It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.
