Insomnia.16

Alyssa Liang brings us the short tale of the child who sits by the fire “Waiting for Santa Claus,” but doesn’t quite make it. Perfidious kidsong.

Alice Olsen grammas up the kidsong of “Waiting Up for Santa.” I know you’re impatient, but this song, it’s a bit strident. Chill, lady.

Storybooksong is to thank for “Waiting for Santa.” Welcome folk helps the kidsong morality.

Insomnia.14

Welcome back NC Kids who can’t bring themselves to pass the time ’til Santa unconscious, not when it’s “Nearly Christmas Time.” Orchestrated chorus.

I Can’t Sleep on Christmas Eve” complains Hip Chainey with a single chord and some country-ish whingeing. Loud and clear, bruh.

Robby Grant, too, is “Up All Night” waiting for St. Nick. Blues-addled pop with some weird toy piano percussion shakes me like light-night exhaustion.

Insomnia.13

Pyramid Paradise’s “Can’t Sleep” is a banging garage lullaby. Seriously, it lulls me despite the decibel level. Or is it just me?

Judd Bloke conceived of “Can’t Sleep on Christmas Eve” but AI wrote and sang it. Yes, even that cultural tarnish has infected the blog. Easy listening ordinariness.

Erin Vadala and Her Brothers Charles Vadala and Their Band so very gently indie out “I Can’t Fall Asleep on Christmas Eve.” It’s that tired diva number at the end of a great piano lounge set… time to go home.

Insomnia.12

Fountain Dew fills the empty spaces of holiday insomnia with stream of consciousness and nonsense in “Can’t Sleep/The Future.” Now i’m awake.

Retrofyt can’t stop watching the clock in the hyper pop “We Can’t Sleep (It’s Christmas Eve).” And now i’m all excited.

Why Can’t I Go To Sleep?” by Christmas Aguilera is a ritualistic chant to put you in the correctly melting mindset. Despite the singing and sleigh bells, the problem persists. Light pop.

Insomnia.11

We the Kingdom get jazz lounge intimate with “Still Can’t Sleep on Christmas Eve.” Even the gr’ups, little ones, even they. Sweet tune.

Australians might have more trouble, it being around the longest day of the year Down Under, so Filipino Press Group Sydney R+Bs the soft pop of “Can’t Sleep (It’s Christmas).”

Chris Lam Sam recounts a li’l monster who metals out “I Can’t Sleep” on Christmas Eve. Sweets are blamed (not rampaging through the town square).

Insomnia.10

All Through The Christmas Night” is the soulful wish of Brian Culbertson who wishes to be held–by you–for that duration. He’s not sleeping, but he’s not exactly waiting for Santa.

The InfiniTeens also express an evergreen wish to be with you “All Through the Night.” Indie new age wistfulness. Kinda cute.

Not to be obvi, but another adult “Santa is Up All Night (To Get Toys).” This VaporWave parody is brought to you by Random Drivel Records.

Insomnia.9

Welcome back Cellus Hamilton (featuring Isaiah Jenkins), who synths the rap for “Up All Night,” a more grown up version of the stubbornness.

Allie of The Wiggles explains expansively how “I Just Can’t Sleep on Christmas Eve.” He wants to but, well– kidsong!

Laurie Berkner strums the kidsong guitar and ballads about how “Santa’s Coming To My House Tonight.” She doesn’t seem to understand as encourage ADHD behavior. Don’t applaud too long, she’ll encore for you just the same. She’s giving like that.

Insomnia.8

Canadian sillies The Yule be Sorrys make merry with bell brigade Santa-ing back in the day in “Ye Olde Looney Bin / Shoppers Shake Off Your Drowsy Sleep,” a medley of begging for 1$ coins (Loonies minted as 1987) mixed with the endless chore of consumerism around the holidays. Don’t drop, shop! or something like that.

War Pony Dos wield the tragic fiddle to express how they cannot sleep (or eat) as they ate “Waiting on Santa.” It’s like an illness.

The Punters rock the sea shanty with “Tell Me a Story” (Then I’ll Go to Bed). This procrastination technique has worked for so-called sleepless children for generations. Plus which, Christmas is a tradition with a built-in story.

Insomnia.7

Title tiredly raps “Fall Asleep!” as they cannot do so, not on X-mas Eve. You okay?

In “My Younger Days” Trey Lorenz can rap-recall not being able to fall asleep anticipating Santa. Some soul may occur.

Krazy Kuzins take the rap to the children with their “Hip Hop Holiday Cheer.” Many filial duties are expressed, but that staying up late thing wasn’t in the Commandments….
