On such evil and lovely rainy days, sometimes we often wander about the house, searching for a lot of “somethings” to do. For example, trying to look into things such as old books, old cassette types, old love letters-unsent, received and unopened ones or even trying to recollect sad, bitter and beautiful memories of your “almosts” and “what ifs”? Well, I have got just another perfect soundtrack for sentimental moments such as this. I have listened to this song quite in numerous repetitions and I have often felt melancholic because of the loneliness described in the song- a kind of loneliness where on just lays in bed and speculates about life and all the people that came and went in your life.
I, as a member of the drowsy, rainy-day window-watchers like "Sleep Apnea" and deem it the best song from the indie-pop band “Beach Fossils.” This single is from their album “Clash the Truth.” This track is perfectly tuneful in the moment and does little to impress on list mind in any way, let alone establish themselves as the work of Beach Fossils and no one else. even though some critics are claiming that the album did not go so well because of some changes in their sound, personally I still admire what they did to this song because it gives me an impression of such artists and how they could play with one’s imagination, unlock certain past memories and put the listener in a dream-wake state when everything just seems surreal- like peeking into an old and worn-out masterpiece and finding such hidden histories in it.
Aside from these giddy and fluttery feelings that the song intends to speak to all of its listeners because of such feels, it has the ability of tickling the mind a bit- allowing people to get lost in a train of thought because of the magnificent lyrics compressed into only less than a hundred words. The first lines: “Pardon me; I didn't realize what's in your eyes. My arms are open wide but I can't ever decide what I want to do” tells something sad, maybe about a break-up that was sudden or maybe a man or woman being turned down by the one he or she most loves. The persona is feeling utterly depressed and is not knowing what to do anymore with his or her life. “Sometimes I no longer know what it means to care about things you want to do” is clearly a line being said by someone who is feeling depressed.
Well, this song speaks for itself; sleep apnea, a medical term meaning the state of not being able to breathe that occurs while sleeping, just like being unable to breathe with all the suffocation of tears. This song should be listened to by people who want to relate to such a song when they want to just down lie in bed and tell watery stories to their pillows in darkness,
