One of my favorite songs, not sure who the original creator was if not SNC. Not even sure that's the actual title of the song, I got this and several other SNC tracks from a friend.
Lyrics:
I can see you
I don't even know you
Falling into the sheets at night
Place my hands flat on my chest
I feel the heart beat back the night
I tried counting the sheep
and talked to the Shepherd and
Played with my pillow forever, ever
I sit alone and I watch the clock
I breathe in on the tic
and out on the tock
[Chorus]
I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor
I dont have to have these dreams no more (these dreams)
and I found someone just to hold me tight
Hold the insomniac all night
I dig my head down deep
So I can't hear the cars outside on the street
and the stars are laughing!
They get a kick out of my misery
I tried everything short of Aristotle
Took Dramamine and whisky bottle
Prayed for the day when my ship comes in
and I can sleep the sleep of the just again
[Chorus]
I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor
I don't have to have these dreams no more (these dreams)
and I found someone just to hold me tight
Hold the insomniac all night
[Vocals]
[Chorus]
I can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor
I don't have to have these dreams no more (these dreams)
and I found someone just to hold me tight
Hold the insomniac all night
Hold the insomniac all night
Hold the insomniac all night
Hold the insomniac all night
Oh hold me and keep on holding me
Won't you hold me and keep on holding me?
Wont you hold me and keep on holding me?
Won't you hold me, keep me!

Thanks, NYT! ❤😊

[@stevemacquarrie9819]

Me too, the article in nyt. Let me get my crying towel and I will go on about how a big time choral music act gets 400 views and slop gets half a billion.

[@legalgrrrl]

I love Straight No Chaser. This just reinforces my feeling.

[@Ullay14]

Yep... Straight from the NYTimes!

[@lormiya]

And I loved the article too!

[@casemueller8964]

This is a really good version of the song. I love the original,this one takes it to a really good place. Well Done!!👍👍

[@robyndadig428]

I loved the creativity of the background vocals who took the percussion parts of the original.

[@garylevine4945]

I did. My son sang a paella at William and Mary for four years (I loved it). Never heard of THS song, but the headline drew me in.

[@janetgriffin9401]

Acapella.

[@leandrodfcorreia2]

I've put my son to sleep many times with this song. :o)

[@sonicshrubberyshovel]

This song is by Billy Pilgrim. Great song! I love this arrangement!

[@carlaeskelsen]

The whole album is so good. Still on my Desert Island List, all these years later. My favorite track, tho, is Halfway Home.

[@jrlomy2k]

Finally Seggie truly gets to showcase his gorgeous voice.

[@franlower5639]

yep!

[@robyngershon6982]

Me too!!

[@singdown2]

Yup!

[@TonyLovell]

This is well executed, but the two guys tackling the vocal parts are doing so well, I wonder if the backing vocals should be lower (excellent though they are)

[@lievedegeyter]

This is a recording from when they where in college. It is on there cd last call from then.

[@meganramsey8036]

Funny story. I have that CD. My high school choir director worked with them when they were in college! Small world! Back then, the CD was titled Nine

[@audreysamson7654]

Yup

[@JeremyElliott]

Would like to see all the post that goes on in this act’s songs.

[@cavanmeade3113]

This arrangement was done first by the University of Virginia Gentlemen!! SNC did a great job on this cover though!

[@gayemacy]

I was looking for the version by UVA, which was mentioned in the NYT article, but couldn't find a link in the article. This was in it though. Loved the pic of the Virginia Gentlemen! They are adorable! We need young men like that.
