A live recording of Two Doors Down performing “Good Night’s Sleep” at Creative Mornings Rotterdam on 2 August 2019.<\/p>\n

The song is inspired by Creative Mornings July’s theme, “End”, and captures something of Irene’s daily struggle to call it quits and enjoy the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Irene is on the guitar as usual and singing lead vocal, while Margriet adds percussion (bell and shakers), sings harmony and plays the melodica. Notice the audience reaction when Margriet starts playing “Somewhere over the rainbow” at the end.<\/p>\n

Good Night’s Sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n

bell signalling midnight<\/em><\/p>\n

Verse 1<\/strong>
\nThere’s something about the midnight hour
\nthat brings out the worst in me
\nNot that I’m a party girl
\nOn the contrary
\nBut I struggle to call it quits
\nAnd miss out on all the benefits
\nof a good night’s sleep<\/p>\n

Verse 2<\/strong>
\nMy second wind kicks in and them
\nI’m chasing after something again
\nI love the flow but as some of you know
\nIt can be an addiction
\nI wish I could train my brain
\nto entertain the counterclaim
\nof a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n

Verse 3<\/strong>
\nAt the end of the day I need to learn to say
\nLady, enough is enough
\nIt’s time for bed, you sleepy head
\nStop sweating the small stuff
\nOn the far side of my dreams
\nThere’s a better version of me – I’m dying
\nfor a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n

Coda<\/strong>
\nGotta try me some of
\nsleeping beauty’s beauty sleep<\/p>\n
