Sleeping At Last  Check out the website here

There are musicians that you like and then there are musicians that you absolutely fall in love with. Sleeping At Last happens to be one of those for me.

Sleeping At Last started out as an indie rock band that was originally formed in 1999.
Eventually two of the band members left leaving Ryan O'Neal, whose who had a major label released in 2003 called “Ghosts.”
 On July 15, 2010 the band announced via their website that starting on October 1, 2010 until September 1, 2011 they would be releasing three songs on the first day of each month for one year, a project they named Yearbook. The songs were released on their website in twelve separate EPs named after the month in which they were released (e.g. January, February, etc.). As of December 8, 2011, all 12 EP's became available in one Yearbook box set for $45.00.
Some of the bands songs have been featured on Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy. Ryan wrote a song for the Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack "Turning Page". Ryan is very involved in the project TWLOA.



Sleeping At Last has long been a beacon shining brightly on behalf of independent artists. In the ever-changing climate of the music industry, the quest for a successful independent career seems evermore difficult to attain. O’Neal pursues this challenge relentlessly through his commitment to musical integrity in his songwriting, and in this way nurtures a unique and personal relationship with his listeners. He has remained true to the things that brought him to music in the first place: his love of melody and the power of words. His music and lyrics emerge from a place that is honest and raw, asking every question that occurs and promising no fast, sure answers, but somehow always offering hope as the consistent, overarching theme.

I am going to post a few of my favorite songs by them. O'Neal's songwriting paired with his haunting music just does something to move that piece in your heart and soul in a beautiful way. I hope that you grow to love this band as much as I do....

Be sure to pick up his Christmas Collection 2012 album for free Here

This one is my absolute favorite as the lyrics seem to fit a part of my life that most have not yet experienced...

"Smartest thing I've ever learned is that I don't have all the answers...."
