Based out of suburban Chicago, emo-inflected alt-rockers Sleeping at Last formed in 1999 around the talents of guitarist/vocalist Ryan O'Neal, drumming sibling Chad O'Neal, and bass player Dan Perdue. The trio began to build a local following, playing wherever possible and doing the occasional support gig. After sparking the interest of Billy Corgan with their self-released full-length, Capture, the erstwhile Smashin… more https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/atlas-space-1-ep/id706462386

Thank you for sharing this, pamela...checking them out via your cue here, such soulful depths in their lyrics, looking forward to exploring... Seems they grew up where I did so, all the more intriguing for me in terms of their perspective... ;->

Oh! That song is them! lol You're right, I do recognize it... ;D
Love it when kitties love the music we do... ;) Sophie's very fond of minor chords/melodies over major ones; fascinating... But then she's mine, so...lol...
Of Ryan. He is now on his own thing after being with his group. I got more interested so I looked it up. He has a long history of creating music for so many.
Kept wondering why they called their group Sleeping at Last, ya know? THen as I did more research learned he is a Christian. So maybe the reason is, in the bible there is a verse says, No rest for the wicked. Now he is 'sleeping at last'. But cannot be sure of that reason, as I haven't found an article explaining it. But does seem to make sense. :) The article at link gives lots of info of what he has done and is still doing.
Yes, Sunny gets into what I call his zen mode. He looks like he is meditating.

Cats are wonderful. :)
Yeah, he looks like a boy. He's got that baby face like Elton John. He's married with two daughters. How he stays so busy with all hes done so far... its mind boggling...Music scores and ditties for tv shows, tv commercials, movies and concerts, and a wife and family. From 1999 to present. That's 19 years non stop music, singing composing and inspiring.

;D Yeah, my bad; feeling so old anymore I'm catching myself calling anyone who looks younger than 40ish Boy or Girl... ;-O Gotta watch that, implies a disrespect I don't mean at all...lol...
Clearly he's packing a wallop of inspired, creative artistry that's attuned toward resonating with a wide scope of folks, and for these times, as it feels to me; so much already here and much more waiting to download!
And yeah, he does have a total babyface too...lol...

I have three children, two sons and daughter. And many grandchildren. And 1 GG granddaughter born this year. Eldest is 44 this year, daughter will be 43, and youngest son just turned 38. :) So, well, I cannot call them babies anymore but know that they're sensitive to be called that.
I hope my kids and g kids will continue with their own musical gifts they each have. Once I get moved, I plan on doing just that; yeah at my age. But a friend recently told me I really should be out their again with my guitar and singing again. And she had dream about me doing that just recent. Maybe I can inspire them to continue with their music.

I've noted all these milestones you mention here, pamela, and whether or not I've posted in reply, have celebrated them with you... ;) I too hope you will continue giving voice and expression to all your musical gifts, and that your beloveds will continue in their own ways this wonderful heritage...
My only son will be 44 in December; my grandsons from his first relationship, who are all on the autism/savant spectrum, are 21, 18 and 8...and his stepsons in his current relationship are 14 and 15...so I can identify so much... ;D Savant traits for my middle grandson who's 18 are entirely musical in nature... ;D
Though my son is "past 40" as per my last post and I haven't characterized him in younger terms than I should, for years, I appreciate the reality check on doing so, in any way for anyone... ;D
My own musical stuff is deeply buried, but I can imagine that one day it may come forward... Y'never know... ;D
