What was it like writing the new Sleepless record and how heavily has Sam influenced it lyrically?
Asked by Anonymous
I’m gonna break this down into two parts.
The writing of the new record was difficult and it has taking two years to write for numerous reasons, we’re still a small band and still are finding our feet. It was really hard, because at the start of it I was in full health and by the end I’ve been told I’m “Dying” like four times and I guess that has kinda influenced it a little bit, like you could almost call it a concept record but the funny thing is its not even been recorded we’re still all working out the kinks. It has its “dark” parts, but all in all its really upbeat and happy, all about escaping bad situations, I’ve been in so many mostly to do with my health and dealing with it but its written in a way that every one can relate to it, its a little bit nostalgic in a sense the best years are behind me, but thats not what it is, its all memories I kinda wanted to write about them incase something bad happened.As for Sam, yeah kind of, but at the same time no, like she’s not mentioned in every song, you know she is in the ballads but not in the gritty ones. But yeah for me, having her there has been a massive help, cause sometimes I just needed her to tell me “Everythings gonna be okay its all gonna work out fine” kind of thing, so yeah she’s been a huge help and influence and I love her more everyday for it. One of the ballads is actually about me and her and when we first got together and nobody knew then one night we went to a party and I kissed her and everything kind of kicked off, it was horrible, but me and her ended up sleeping on a beach, in the freezing cold out of the back of car, which has to be one of my fondest memories out of the journey that is our relationship, you know that night in the car is all explained, like the rain pouring down and how I held her head tight to my chest. She’s influenced it, her family have influenced the record, purely from how her family have such a warm open heart kind of thing, if you get what I mean, there is a real strong sense of acceptance, yet I know I’m still the new kid on the block, I know where I stand with them all so its cool you know they have kind of filled in the gaps a little bit cause I didn’t have much of a family growing up.
But yeah, the new albums gonna be sick, its more lively more punk rock and roll kinda feel to it, it has its sad moments but the rest are really really happy.
I will say this now for all of us, thank you so much for making an effort to message me, it was really cool its not every day it happens.
Thanks

I have a pillow that I cuddle into at night called my Sam pillow, it tricks my mind into thinking she’s beside me :)

Life can get really dark, like real dark.
You can spend hours, days, weeks, months even years questioning all your insecurities, or you could sit down and go hey, I am worth all this and so much more. You gotta keep an open mind to things.

I met you in the upper room of a house where I slept with the angels from hell and from heaven some for haunting, some for guarding each to his own purpose over my trembling skin.

The challenge is to balance on that fine line between the earth and sky, I will wait for the morning dawn till the way is clear as day, I’m okay hallelujah.

The desire to push physical boundaries is dangerous, focus past it. Cut the lines and grit your teeth, swallow with every breath. Hope for the best, when you hear the bang, your times up, like an old game. Don’t feel like the pray or the predator feel free, just feel free.
