Reading & Listening

I'm a renowned insomniac so how could I not love this song? I've been listening to Insomnia, a house record by Rodamaal pretty much nonstop for the past two weeks.

Rodamaal, pictured to the left, are a Franco-Portuguese trio. The song's Ame Remix, featuring Claudia Franco, on vocals is an intoxicating mix of old school deep house with a touch of trance thrown in.

The lyrics, sung in Portuguese, roughly translate as, "'Asleep but awake you prepare yourself for a dazzling moment. In the night you lose yourself. The wind gives way to your steps in your own rhythm and time. And if the lights go out that is because chance is over. Dazzling. Lost. Lost inside your sleepwalking." Once you start listening to this, you certainly won't be sleepwalking.

I'm going to guess you'll be energized enough to work it out on the dance floor, run a mile...or clean the house. Guess which one I do most?
