| Eric Whitacre – Sleep Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is actually about the final moments in waking life, before slipping into sleep and never waking up again. The lyrics were originally "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. But copyright came into place so they made new lyrics. The song was written for a woman who also sings Soprano in the choir that performed the recording, who's parents died within days of eachother. The lyrics symbolize fear, comfort, and the feeling of not knowing what comes after death. |
