Can’t Sleep

This song captures how ominous a night-world can be when sleep won’t come and a mind wanders. Are we the same people in these wee hours? Where do we go when our bodies are still and our environment is hidden in darkness?

My dad, Shawn Hickox, recorded this song a couple of weeks ago. I’m sitting by a crackling fire and adore the little pops and hisses that tickle the background. And, of course, Jake’s upright bass is rich and haunting – a sexy monster under the bed.
