“Sleepless Nights” is a memorable track from Ryan Sweezey, now based in Burlington, Vermont after making waves in the Boston music scene. A spirited vocal introspection aligns with a range of sturdy backing acoustics and twangy complements, as vocals admit a deafening silence that induces insomnia and ensuing racing thoughts in the dark. The two-minute turn is especially invigorating into the “another sleepless night again,” emergence. Sweezey describes the standout track as “about nighttime loneliness during a period of being single.”
