Faithless (see also best songs 207,) are a Electronic Dance Music group who were formed in London, England, in 1995, by Maxwell Frazer (Maxi Jazz,) who is the lead vocalist, Ayalah Bentovim (Sister Bliss,) who plays keyboards, and produces, Rowland Armstrong (Rollo,) who is a producer, and also the brother of the singer Dido (see also best songs 936.) James Catto was also a founding member, but left to form ‘1 Giant Leap’ in 1999, Aubrey Nunn joined in late 1995, and stayed until 2006.

‘Insomnia’ was the second track released from the bands debut Album ‘Reverence,’ and was written by Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, and Rollo. As the title suggests the song is about the medical condition of not being able to sleep.The subject is resonant with fans of Dance Music, as stimulant use is common in club, and rave culture, and insomnia is a common side effect.

‘And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath, tearing off tights with my teeth.’
