Day 10 – a song that makes you fall asleep
Songs generally don’t make me fall asleep, but this one could. Maybe. Please don’t take offense, Bradford Cox.
Helicopter – Deerhunter
First, let me start off by telling you that you should definitely get this album. If you don’t already have it, you’re not indie or hipster enough and YOU LOSE. Game over.
It was completely natural for me to pick a Deerhunter song for this category. Bradford Cox’s effects-laden vocals soar over distant drums, high-register guitars and ambient electronic infusions. These elements together make the perfect soundtrack to a stream-of-consciousness daydream.
Helicopter, the first single off September’s Halcyon Digest ups the ambiance and turns down the tempo, making the daydream more appropriate for full-on nighttime sleep.
Warning: listen to the lyrics too closely and your dreams might not be too happy. They evoke more of a nightmare scenario.
Take my hand and pray with me
My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the sceneAnd I pray for us
Would you pray for us
Nobody loves you the best
We know he loves you the best
For a more uplifting song to help you sleep, I’d suggest most of Keep It Together (album) by Guster.
Try playing Helicopter right now…. Are you just waking up? Is reading the previous sentence the last thing you remember doing? I thought so. Comment below if you want. Whatever. *Yawn.*
