Insomniac (song)
"Insomniac" is a song by the Britpop band Echobelly. It was released as a single in March 1994 and was included on the band's album, ''Everyone's Got One''. The song, written by Sonya Madan and Glenn Johansson, is primarily about drug abuse.
The single received positive critical reviews and peaked at #47 on the UK music charts. It was featured on the soundtrack for the film ''Dumb and Dumber''.
==Background==
"Insomniac" was composed by band members Sonya Aurora Madan and Glenn Johansson.〔("Insomniac" ). allmusic.com. Retrieved May 16, 2011.〕 It is based on a 4/4 alternating verse/chorus structure and may be a musical homage to one of Echobelly's major influences, Morrissey.〔Bennett, Andy and Stratton, Jon. ''(Britpop and the English Music Tradition )'' (Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2010), p. 67.〕
''Billboard'' wrote that the song is a "gentle warning of the dangers of snorting too much speed".〔Sinclair, David. ("Global Music Pulse" ). ''Billboard'', Oct 14, 1995, p. 53.〕 However, according to ''Britpop and the English Music Tradition'', the song might be a "dig" at Britpop's cocaine-driven lifestyle at the time (which is highlighted by the lines "Whatever turned you on/You put it up your nose" and "No sleep at all/Carry me home").〔
