Whether you’re loyal to the classic tunes of yesteryear or yearn for the eclectic mix of burgeoning indie bands, music is a beautiful thing that connects us all. A couple weeks ago we ran an impromptu Dream Water giveaway via Facebook asking our fans to post songs about sleep. Naturally, this lit a light bulb in our heads.
We decided to comb through all of the unique entries from our “songs about sleep” Facebook giveaway and combine them with our own favorites to deliver a playlist of songs that pertain to sleep. From the sweet 60s pop sounds of the The Everly Brothers to the powerful post-hardcore riffs of At The Drive-In, we’ve compiled a playlist encompassing all genres. There is a song about sleep for everyone! To top it all off, you can listen to all of these songs via Spotify on Dream Water’s “30 Best Songs About Sleep” playlist. Click here to start listening!
