Before I Sleep (Commentary)
So, "Before I Sleep", um, is-is one of my favorite tracks off the album
Um, it was a guitar part that I had for a while, it was the first time I played around with different tunings
Um, so kind of a step into the unknown for me
Um, and I came up with the guitar part and it took me a few months I think to actually end up with the melody and the lyrics
Um, I used inspiration, um, from a poet called Robert Frost for some of the lyrics, um, there's a stanza in one of his poems which is
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep"
And I remember I studied that poem in school and um, just absolutely fell in love with that
Um, so yeah, I took that as inspiration, obviously the title comes directly out of that
Um, and you know, in terms of production we just decided to keep it pretty stripped back, um, and let that guitar part speak for itself and the lyrics really come to the front
Um, I think it's important to leave space for the music to speak for itself
Um, it was a guitar part that I had for a while, it was the first time I played around with different tunings
Um, so kind of a step into the unknown for me
Um, and I came up with the guitar part and it took me a few months I think to actually end up with the melody and the lyrics
Um, I used inspiration, um, from a poet called Robert Frost for some of the lyrics, um, there's a stanza in one of his poems which is

But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep"
And I remember I studied that poem in school and um, just absolutely fell in love with that
Um, so yeah, I took that as inspiration, obviously the title comes directly out of that
