Sleeping At Last - "Say" (2003)

Sleeping At Last is a great indie band from Chicago that has been around for a few years now. Their major label debut Ghosts came out in 2003 via Interscope Records after none other than Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame turned someone at the label onto them. Ghosts was actually their second record, after the independently released Capture in 2000. The record is filled with excellent pop/rock tracks that all seem to have a huge, dreamy, airy feel to them. It’s hard to explain but I think you’ll see what I mean. The band have since become completely independent once again, self-releasing their third album Keep No Score in 2006. The band gained some national recognition after the song “Quicksand” was featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Keep No Score is an overall more low key album, with fewer heavy songs and more piano driven tracks. Today’s song is the first track and the only single from Ghosts. It’s still the band’s best work as far as I’m concerned.
