Description
About twenty years ago, through the eighties, I was recording music that was getting national airplay on college radio. The lifestyle was a strain, and my first marriage broke up. After that, I basically suffered writer's block and couldn't complete a project. Then one night about three years ago, my wife tried to wake me up. I was drenched in sweat and talking strangely in my sleep, like I was speaking in tongues. She said "Eric, wake up," at which point I said "I'm not Eric, I'm Jakob." It happened again several times. She then videotaped me doing this. It was pretty strange watching myself on the video. I decided to add some graphics and a music bed and created a music video. It's called 'Nightsweats (Tongues of Jakob)' and it's up on YouTube. Anyway, I was having trouble sleeping since then, so I recorded the album. I'm glad the album is done. I'm sleeping again. |
