Radio Paradise (mobile)

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)
Please don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)
Please don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

kingart Mar 06, 2013 - 13:20	If we don't consider about 99.36% of all other songs ever recorded, this one isn't very good. [ Reply ]

He is now known as Lazarus. He has a church in said room and is recuiting Radio Paradise members to join. I am starting a list and will post at a later date. All in can send me a private message that I will pass on to the minister. [ Reply ]

rascal Nov 21, 2012 - 20:24	This song comes on and suddenly the sound quality leaps out. Different source?...vinyl/analogue?..sure was nice. [ Reply ]

capandjudy Nov 01, 2012 - 04:29	I love the nice woody sound of Paul's Hofner bass with flat wound strings, a set up that he continues to use to this day. [ Reply ]
bluejay08003 Sep 30, 2012 - 19:04	Here's some context: The Billboard Year-End Hot 100 for 1966 . The Beatles tracks on this list are, in ascending order, "Yellow Submarine" (96), "Nowhere Man" (90), "Paperback Writer" (28), and "We Can Work It Out" (16). There's no question that "I'm Only Sleeping" stands out as different from these four tracks as well as pretty much everything else on that list. The backmasking on this track (remember, decades before digital, and pretty innovative with audiotape) may not be a sound you like, but it makes it stand apart, even today. [ Reply ]

Maybe so, but I love it anyway. You also have to wonder how many other good-to-great works this song inspired, even though it might not have aired without being played by the Beatles. [ Reply ]

TerryS Jul 13, 2012 - 19:30	Put it in it's context and it's got very high production values wrapped around a simple tune. Mind you, I did buy the original UK (extra tracks) LP in the day. [ Reply ]
