Freshly Squeezed Jukebox | Atom Smith x Emma Lea - I Don't Wanna Sleep (Audio) #electroswing @FreshlySqueezedJukebox | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Straight ahead, no-nonsense #electroswing from L.A. producer ATOM SMITH (back on Freshly Squeezed after a run of remixes and guest spots) teaming up with the London-based singer and songwriter EMMA LEA. OUT TOMORROW: idol-io.ffm.to/playingwithfire

I DON'T WANNA SLEEP with it's four-on-the-floor beat brings back the unmistakable trademark horn charts of Big Band Swing arranger ELLIOT DEUTSCH on Trumpets with WILL VARGAS on Saxes and Clarinet. Throwing hints of a disco swing flavour into the mix and a melodic drop, the song is feel good all the way with an appropriate lyric about embracing all that life has to offer. Don't sleep on this one!

LYRICS:

Hey there Mr. Sandman
Keep your dust away from me
I want to feel this moment
I don't want to sleep
You can keep your moonbeams
And your magic for the rest
I don't need your medicine
Pick another guest

Don't you try it
I won't buy it
Eyes are wide open
Look to the stars
I dream when I'm awake
Embrace all my scars

I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna sleep too much to see
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to sleep so let me be

Hey there Mr. Sandman
Tell me why are you always sleep
There's so much played before you
No time to count no sheep
There's no use in sleeping
When you can have it all
Open up those tired eyes
We can have a ball

Eyes wide open
Look to the stars
I dream when I'm awake
Embrace all my scars

I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna sleep too much to see
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to sleep so let me be

Hey there Mr. Sandman
Keep your dust away from me
I want to feel this moment
I don't want to sleep
You can keep your moonbeams
And your magic for the rest
I don't need your medicine
Pick another guest

I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna sleep...
