Songs about sleep and being tired

I can't believe no-one has mentioned U2-MLK - think about it! Brilliant!

 

Last night ... I Dreamed of a Hill-Billy Heaven - - Tex Ritter ... (#20 in '61)

 

"Asleep"- Everly Brothers

 

So Tired, from Uriah Heep's Wonderworld album. This one doesn't make ya wanna sleep, but get up and boogie, rather.

Brian

 

Billy Bragg / Wilco - "California Stars"

"I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars

I'd love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
I must keep working on

Yes I'd give my life
To lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars"

Beautiful song.

 

Well, believe. This brilliant song was post #3 in this thread, page 1.

I Saw Gener Cryin' in His Sleep - Ween
Dawn - Fairport Convention

I heard Phil Collins' "Why Can't It Wait Till Morning" last night and thought of this thread. Great tune. About being tired and wanting to wait till daylight when things are clearer.

 

Some from the '40s:

So Tired, Russ Morgan
I Dream of You, Frank Sinatra
I Can Dream Can't I, Andrews Sisters (remade by the Carpenters)
Dreamer's Holiday, Buddy Clark. Does anyone know of a good sounding source for this? Every version I've heard is afflicted with a lot of "wow."
Dream Along With Me, Perry Como (from the '50s). Actually, ANYTHING by Mr. "C" may be sleep inducing.

 

Blue Monday/Fats Domino.

 

Nick Lowe's Jungian revenge fantasy "Crying in My Sleep".

 

Bloody Hell, I thought I'd checked dilligently!

Must have been blind to it because I'd spotted KC - Sleepless, which was on my mind!

 

Who wrote "Beautiful Dreamer?" I don't think that was mentioned but a melody everybody knows, yes?

 

Split Enz - "Sweet Dreams"
Split Enz - "History Never Repeats"
"History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep"

 

Stephen (or Steven?) Foster

 

Dream on Little Dreamer - - Perry Como ... (#25 in '65)
Christmas Dream - - Perry Como ... (#92 in '74)

 

Dream Lover - - Bobby Darin ... (#2 in '59)
Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night - - Kenny Dino ... (#24 in '61)

 

Wake up Jake--The Band
Tossin' And Turnin'--Bobby Lewis

 

I didn't read the whole thread but - Paul Simon wrote a few:

Keep The Customer Satisfied "I'm oh so tired..."

American Tune "tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm tryin' to get some rest..."

 

Sleeping Bag--ZZ Top
Wake Up and Make Love to Me--Ian Dury

 

I seem to recall "Tired of Being Lonely" By Al Green?

Anything by ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.

 

"Until It Sleeps" Metallica
