The Sounds - No One Sleeps When I'm Awake





The Sounds - No One Sleeps When I'm Awake

My earliest memory of The Sounds was playing baseball outside Keenan Hall on North Quad my sophomore year, 2004. "Rock 'n Roll" was playing over the boom box and the opposing pitcher was smoking a cigarette between pitches (it stayed clamped in his mouth during the actual pitch)-- quite a testament to physical fitness. Anyway, I heard this little ditty, "Rock 'n Roll," and tried to memorize as many lyrics as I could until I could unload them into Google to learn more about the song/ band. And so it was.
