I will tell you a story
About a world living a lie
Where everything is fake
And made to keep us sleep walking
There are screens everywhere
To keep our minds busy
It’s hard to know what we can trust
What’s genuine? Illusion?
Foolish pride, zombified!
Unsatisfied with a dream that died
Scared…. Nightmared.
Unaware what took us there
Swept away, led astray
In a daze, wandering the screen maze
Fodder for their money war;
A genuine Illusion
Movies used to fake the news
In fiction, fact, to mind distract
Who am I? What are we?
Wandering in apathy
Is this real? Is this now?
Drugged, the milk of their sacred cow
Drink it down, take a fix
Made to keep us sleep walking
Sleep walking…. Sleep walking….
Sleep walking…. Sleep walking….
Wake Up!
But I know it’s fake, my mind’s awake
So my first step I’m gonna take
Towards the light, with second sight
And wake from my sleep walking
Wake, from my sleep walking…
And wake from my sleep walking…
Wake, from your sleep walking…
Wake……………….
Playing "Sleep Walking" with 'Fast Forward my Backyard' at the 'Festival do Pao' in Mafra, Portugal
Miguel had had a demo of this beautiful tune of his for a while and asked me to help him finish it off...
He had written all the music and the first two verses of lyrics
I wrote the remainder of the lyrics up to the instrumental break and he then recorded the demo with Bea singing a lovely lead vocal
Later the same day I added backing vocals and the "wake up" part at the end and we worked together on the final arrangement
Just 7 days after we finished composing the song we performed it at a festival with Miguel's band "Fast Forward my Backyard" (See pic above)
