In college, I studied at lot, barely sleeping a few hours each night. It wasn't healthy. Meanwhile my mom was dying of cancer. She had maybe a few months left. Eventually, I dropped out to take care of her. She would ask me how my classes were, and I lied, saying everything was fine; that I had it under control, but I didn't. I went so long without sleep I suffered sleep paralysis, still... I struggled to move, to wake up. This song reminds me of my mother dying, of sleep deprivation, of dreams, promises, and the denial we go through while fighting for the things we know we're going to lose.

This was my dogs favourite song, the opening of the song until the drums kicked in would be nothing but him howling along to this track and wagging his tail. I put him to sleep a few days ago after 12 years of pure joy and happiness on this earth, just listening to this track takes me right back to when we were both young and we both didn't have a care in the world. Rip Jack 2010 - 2023.

This is one of the hidden jewels of music. While the radio runs decent music into the ground via overplaying, Bombay Bicycle Club still feels fresh years later and has a feel the radio world could never handle

"Can I wake you up?" "Is it late enough?" "Could you bag me up?" Beautiful, simple song.

I don't think any other song has ever given me such a sense of happiness. I feel like my chest physically swells when I hear this. You can't not appreciate!

I like how the video shows the sleeping person's side of the song, instead of the person who is already awake. While you hear the awake person's thoughts in the lyrics, you see what the sleeping person is dreaming in the video. It also supports the narrator's conflict of whether to wake them up or not, in the fascination of the sleeping person's dreams and the general feeling that they don't want to wake up yet.

The percussion at 1:43 onward is absolutely amazing!

During the early 2000s to the 2010s, indie rock had exploded all over the world. Great bands and great music. I have fond memories from that time in college and every so often I reminisce when I hear songs like this.

"How Can you Swallow so much Sleep" and "Lights Out, Words Gone" are my fave of these talented guys! ♥ Repeat 20X

I remember the first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it. Still love it over 10 years later.

This video is bizarre, but it suits the song perfectly. The shear amount of time and effort that must have gone into the production and filming its astounding.

I really liked the opening, it inspired me to write the following: I follow my footprints in the snow Carefully tracing memories I used to hold Some made afresh, others seem too old But oh, already they glint with afterglow. And your lips as storm they sway: 'You are dreaming once again, My youthful love, my smile that rains Why must you fly to unworldly play?' But I must, I must Ahead my closing footprint Already covered by starry dust.

The beginning of this song used to play in the background of my local news promo. It drove me nuts trying to figure out who it was. When I finally found out nearly cried. It's beautiful
