Narcolepsy

Third Eye Blind
 

Album:
Third Eye Blind 1997
 

 

 

Note:
”This song is about sleep. And how sometimes your mind can wake up before your body, and you would be paralyzed. This happened to Kevin, and he was telling Stephan how his mind had woken up before his body and he felt paralyzed. And then Kevin played this song that came to him after he woke up. But it turned out that he didn't have narcolepsy.”

Note:

"We've been touring for four or five years. You so look forward to sleep because you don't get it very often. The same way you check out. I mean, you can be enjoying the biggest things in your life and you can't register it, and your mind goes to sleep. Or if you're going through a break-up, or if you're happy about things, you just can't enjoy them - because you're not aware, you have no awareness.”

Shesus
 

Album:
Loves You… Love You Not 2003
 

 

 

Note:
Sometimes we all feel the need to spark a bowl, laugh crazily, and start rockin' out. Shesus is a women's band - except the drummer - with an inspirational source and refreshing sound.
By the way, the grandfather of a bandmember had narcolepsy.

Album:
Delusions, Anyone? 2000
 

 

 

Note:
Mitch Chandler singt auf seiner einzigen Platte von seinen Ängsten und Sorgen, wobei immer auch etwas Humorvolles in seinen Liedern mitschwingt.

The Cunninghams
 

Album:
Zeroed Out 1997
 

 

 

Note:
Das Debutalbum der Cunninghams aus Seattle hatte ungerechtfertigterweise keinen Erfolg und die Band löste sich kurz nach Erscheinen der Platte auf. Ihr charismatischer Sänger Seven Pearse versuchte wieder vergeblich sein Glück in Los Angels. Sein Scheitern stürzte ihn in eine schwere Depression und 2000 beging er Selbstmord.
