ORCHESTRA J. DAYS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what I've seen
Everything just stays the same
It's another yesterday
I wanna go back to your face
Fill that blurry space
Just wanna go back to that place
I can't seem to recall
It's just sitting in my head
Like a tumor 'till I'm dead
I wanna go back to your face
Fill that blurry space
Just wanna go back to that place
The lyrics of ORCHESTRA J. DAYS's song "Sleepwalk" touch upon the theme of nostalgia and a longing to return to a past moment or relationship. The singer expresses a sense of confusion and uncertainty about their past experiences and memories. They feel stuck in a cycle where everything remains the same, akin to reliving yesterday over and over again. The desire to go back to a specific person's face is emphasized, as if that person holds the key to unlocking a hazy and blurry space in the singer's mind. There is a yearning to return to a place filled with memories that currently elude them. The mention of faces on the wall suggests that these are perhaps people from the past, haunting the singer's thoughts like a persistent tumor. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a deep longing for a lost connection and a desire to reclaim a sense of clarity and purpose.

Sleep Walk is an instrumental song released in 1959 by the duo-brothers Santo and Johnny after one sibling woke up the other with a tune idea that originally had lyrics but got scrapped because the sound of the steel guitar already speaks for itself.
Recorded at Trinity Music in Manhattan, New York City, Sleep Walk entered Billboard's Top 40 on August 17 of the same year it was released. It rose to the number 1 position for the last two weeks in September and remained in the Top 40 until November 9. Sleep Walk also reached number 4 on the R&B chart. It was the last instrumental to hit number 1 in the 1950s and earned a gold record for Santo and Johnny.
Only going by two genres; Instrumental Rock and R&B.
It was released six months after the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Also being the song played over the ending of the 1987 film La Bamba when Ritchie dies and Bob yells "RITCHIE!" as a flashback plays with the outro of the song playing its final riffs.
This song is very melancholic because of where it was set – being released in 1959 not too long before a new wave of music is coming to revolutionize Rock N' Roll with The Beatles getting ready to pick up from where Buddy left off.
After "The Day The Music Died" and new artists in the works of just as soon as 1960 arrives,
what a way to end the 50s decade...
