Lyrics
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's back this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

As a man of 52 years old, this classic was part of my younger, carefree days, bouncing to the amazing beat drop. So sad to hear of the passing of the lead singer, gone too soon. Thanks for the memories, RIP x

I was in Nuremberg on that open air festival, didnt expect much of that Band . Within 15 minutes they made the almost empty stadium jump and dance ...Not what you expect: Only Computer music and so on: Guitar Base guitar drums made this event to the best concert in my life

[@dylvasey]

@@GrauzoneBay I'm VERY jealous. Never managed to actually see them live.

[@markramsay6399]

53 year old here. Loved the 70's (too young to experience at the time). Hated 80's music (but learnt later how good that was). Grew up in the 90's - love the whole music scene at the time. So love music from the 60's to today. But OMG - Faithless were something else!

[@pierrewilliams1533]

Good summary of my experience/thoughts too

Very true ..the music Is a garbage now

[@SeverityOne]

@@fineart10 Well, no, it isn't. I've heard the comment "the music of X is rubbish" about every imaginable decade. "Ooh, nothing beats 80s music". Here, there's the same comment about the 90s. Guess how many people derided the 1990s? Quite a few. The thing is, people usually get interested in music in their teens, and are set in their tastes before the age of 30. This leaves roughly a decade where they were most exposed to and influenced by music, before real life with a spouse, children, a job and a mortgage kicks in. And this is the decade that they remember most fondly, and all other decades can't measure up to that experience. In the 2050s, if we're still alive, people in their 40s or 50s will complain that contemporary music is rubbish, and nothing is quite like it was in the 2020s. I'm perhaps a bit unusual in the sense that the kind of music I like ranges from the early to mid 1970 (when I was a small child) to the late 1990s. This song, Insomnia, fits right in. The riff, with that typical Roland pizzicato sound, is absolutely epic. But also the string chords make this song immediately recognisable.

[@kayessex3260]

At 59 and bang on it in 95 we certainly didn't get much sleep. Maxi this tune takes me back to those heady days. No phone, a pair of boots and off I went for 6 hours on the dance floor in London clubland. Rest in Eternal Peace 💔❤️

[@veriteinternational]

LOL...We're still trying to catch up from that post 90's sleep. There was too much going on.

[@tomandresen4821]

RIP Maxi 🌹Your music will stay forever.

[@Grandizer8989]

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this masterpiece. I was backpacking Europe in July ‘97 and walking around Copenhagen when it came on a store’s outdoor speakers. It hit me so hard that I got out my huge camcorder and started recording the storefront. When I got home to watch the video, I was so happy to have captured 10-15 seconds of the song, including the ‘drop’. Back then, you didn’t have KZbin or Spotify to look up songs, so unless you knew the artist/song, you would have to look hard to find it. Think I might convert that old vhs tape to dvd and watch it again.

To begin with, RIP Maxi Jazz! Faithless as a group where so much ahead of their time with there music/songs. They produced such melodies which where unusual for their era. I personally think that with songs like Insomnia and We Come One, Faithless has been the great inspiration from which today's Techno and EDM was born. Much respect for such wonderful minds🙏
