about

After the deaths of my grandmother and brother and the recurring visits of an unwelcome voyeur, insomnia arrived and took over my life. It was a relentless, nightly occurrence, leaving me awake for days at a time. After so many sleepless nights, three strange things began to happen. First, I began to fear being alone in my bed. Second, my days became messy and unscheduled as I tried to plan around the brief moments that sleep would find me. And finally, the potent and intense yearning I felt to put my loss and internal turmoil into words magnified into tunnel vision, and haunted my constant waking state. Nice and slow was the first song I wrote during this time, and it poured out of me like a prayer for sleep. - Abby Diamond

lyrics

I’m awake
Into my truth
Insomnia, just some recent proof

While I lie awake
Is when it all comes through...
I was wondering if I could live,
How could this die?

I know your secrets and I know your dreams,
I know how you like to be touched and pleased,
I see all the ways you tried to cater to me.
I saw you first, now will you see me?

I know your secrets I could read your mind.
I know that you’re worried, it’ll be all right.
I loved you first when I heard you speak.
Now will you see me?

I found you, found you
I found you, found you
I found you, found you
I found you, found you

I’m in bed, so where are you?
Middle of the night, sing soft to you.
When I dream away is when it all comes true.

Lose my power like a child,
Some nights I just wanna hold you
Acting out just like a child.
If I know you’re safe and sleeping, love.

We could go, we could go, we could go
Nice and slow, nice and slow, nice and slow

I found you, found you
I found you, found you
I found you, found you
I found you, found you

We could go, we could go, we could go
Nice and slow, nice and slow, nice and slow

Slow babe
Slow babe
Slow babe
Slow babe

I found you, found you
I found you, found you
