Song: "Insomniac's Lullabye" Artist: Black Creek Rock Album: Black Creek Rock Lyrics by Matt Bonner Music by Matt Bonner / Jeff O'Clair ©2020 Bonner / O'Clair [BMI] ℗2020 Black Creek Records Personnel: Matt Bonner: Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards Jeff O'Clair: Vocals, Drums, Percussion Produced by Matt Bonner Jeff O'Clair Associate Producer Engineered, Recorded and Mixed by Bonner / O'Clair At Bonehouse Studio Gadsden, Alabama August 2020 All photos in this video were taken in Beautiful Alabama (Final Photo is of Black Creek at the base of Noccalula Falls) Ever experienced insomnia? We're not talking about that once in a blue moon "can't fall asleep" type of evening... but a nightly ritual of sleeplessness despite every effort to get a good nights rest. Sometimes it can go on for weeks. It ain't a bit of fun, and can lead to a mess of problems. Poor insomniacs. We hope you enjoy the song, and that you sleep well!

As the daylight fades and the shadows grow long great fear and confusion will often torment those suffering from various forms of dementia. Hear our story of an elderly man who suffered, and the concerns of those who cared for him. While you're at it, please enjoy the music; that is unless you don't like guitars and drums. If you do not like guitars and drums, then perhaps you are the one who is demented. If you have a loved one suffering from dementia and / or related ailments, please know that this song was not written to belittle them or poke fun at their expense. This song was produced in love and remembrance for one who suffered and we watched him as he declined. Love them while you still have them.
