Well yipee! There is a new Two Door Cinema Club single out and it is pretty much the best thing ever. "Sleep Alone" is the first single off of the highly anticipated sophomore album "Beacon" out September 3rd. (Or the 4th for us stragglers across the pond.)
"Sleep Alone" doesn't disappoint fans of TDCC that love their sound and just want more. With it's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus it catches your ear from the first listen. Masked beneath the pop rhythm however, is a dark lyrical world full of Alex Trimble's haunted dreams. He states, "we only know what we see, cause we're always fast asleep. Is it so hard not to believe that we'll never know?" Seeing is believing as many say, but maybe it's ok not to know the answer to everything.
The last few lines of the chorus: "and I may go to places I have never been to just to find the deepest desires in my mind." Freud would have a field day with that one. But isn't that what dreams are all about? Finding out more about yourself than you thought you knew? If we pay attention to them, maybe that will answer the questions for us.
Give it a listen. It will make you think, as well as love the song.
Ta ta for now!
