Bachman, Tal - If You Sleep Lyrics

I've only known him for,I'm sure you know...but I'm pleasently surprised!

Love from..


2020
💕💕💕💕

he had great falsetto

2019 anyone????

so amazing

This made me cry. Damn

Recorde la película Aquí en la tierra ( here on earth) 🎶🎶

love from 2019

Figure of divine perfection
No one's loved with more affection
Soul to soul we've breathed
Oh, I won't let The Fates succeed
Worried hours of contemplation
Whispered bits of conversation
Unaffected orderlies
Disinfected rooms and hallways

And if you sleep you sleep with God
And if I cry, it's for my heart
Why should i hope to make it through?
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too

Jagged thorns and pretty petals
Butterflies and stinging nettles
Sunny days and nights of blackness
But where's the joy to cure my sadness?

And if you sleep you sleep with God
And if I cry, it's for my heart
Why should i hope to make it through?
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too

Gleaming cars and covered faces
Teary eyes in hallowed places
Grass and granite stone
No one's been more all alone

And if you sleep you sleep with God
And if I cry, it's for my heart
Why should i hope to make it through?
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too

Why should i hope to make it through?
'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too

2019 anyone?

her feet are creepy... love the song, reminds me of another.........

He is soooo sweet. 😍

Gorgeous man and very underrated talent he deserves more fame than the losers we have singing these days

Just die in these moments and being in love: 0:52 - 0:55 and 1:23 -1:25 😍😍😍😍🌷⚘

15 years ago today, my mom fell asleep. Rest in peace until the Resurrection, Mom!

So handsome

Almost 20 years later. It still hits my feelers. Love this song.

i watch this in 2018

This song is zen redefined

Amazing guitar solo!!

The song was my fav about my fiancee until she died in a car crash. Remember doing crazy shit with her to this song before she died. I could not listen to this song period. Took my six years to listen to this Canadian again without hellish pain. This song was a god, damn winner. I should also say Mandy Moore Cry also tormented me

D. bigelow That's awful man. It's amazingly brave of you to be listening right now. I hope you found peace.

Whatta beautiful song peacefull and introvertedly wild, I can relate to this music alotta (Canadaian artists) I can't believe this Tal turned into Ian Starglow charachter now, funny, crazy, and maybe even sexy shhhhh!

This is probably one of the most dark, but beautiful songs that just blows your mind...  Its a complete 180% from his other hit.  Its apparent by whoever made the video that they completely did not listen to the lyrics at all.  The song deals with the loss of a loved one and a guy sitting alone in a hospital knowing all to well that the next time she closes her eyes could be her last.  It makes you want to take the guy who made this video and smack him for completely missing the point.

yup. This song is nothing like most music I enjoy, but for some reason this one captured me. Found it in "Here on Earth" on my amazon cinemax week's trial.

I actually think it was deliberate. I think they set a happy, casual setting to it as a sort of counterpoint. The idea was to not quite have the things line up, so that when you understand what he's talking about, the happy scene kind of goes with the idea of people wearing a mask of happiness and carrying on like nothing has happened while around others, even if their world is falling apart. Note how, despite all of the happy things happening around him, the singer seems disconnected from it. There are a lot of subtle things too.

@Genisay i like that. Deep...

I absolutely love the whole Tal Bachman album I listened to, he's got one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard and he's so in depth with his songs it's unreal 💜💜

So I am older person I have actually asked that this song be played at my funeral and at my wake. I truly do not cry for the friends and family that pass on but I cry when I see the emptiness left behind in the loved ones eyes that remain. WOW there is a lot of PAIN there I see and feel it. I guess what I am trying to say that this song is very close to my heart. Thank you Mr. Tal Bachman, Thank you.

Seek the kingdom of God! If we repent of our sins and be baptized through Jesus Christ, it is then we begin a spiritual relationship with God the Father in heaven. So when we do die which is a natural occurence, we do not have to face the second death which is eternal separation from God our creator. For the wages of sin is death (second death/judgment). Eternal separation from God in hell. Believe in Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, be baptized and surrender your life to Jesus Christ, he loves you.

if u watchin this in 2017 hit that like

Miss yew grandma 😞

If you hate likebeggars, hit that like.

If you don't, hit that dislike

Tal....... You need to make more music. More songs, you are CANADIAN and you have a gift, please use it.......

Here On Earth brought me here.  One of my favorite movies  <3

Beautiful Tal ♡

WHO IS THE GIRL ? SHE IS BEAUTIFUL !

Could play David Bowie if they ever did a movie. Good songs

sweet song

one of the best albums of the last 25 years!!!!!

this is good

Superbe

why does this song renind me of the scientist?

Yes kimda a Coldplay feeling no joke?

One of the most beautiful male voices I've ever heard <3

+Maigy Vang Maybe you should get out more often?

+Scahoni really

this is such a good song! I miss this kind of music so much!

He's Canadian right?? She's so high was such a hit!!! He shld have continued with more hits!!! He is a legend tho!!!

Yes, Tal was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His father is Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman - Turner Overdrive.

i love 'she's so high' check it out...and i'm an old rocker

For all u young kids..Tal is the son of BTO!! As in Bachman Turner Overdrive!!!!The best music ever!!!!!

he is Ian Starglow now. He is British now, or atleast that's what he says.

Una canción muy bonita que relata nuestro sentir al partir. !! Si duermes !! Cantautor y Músico de Muchos  Exitos . ( Ella es tan alta/ She's So High )

Totally different than his dad Randy Bachman. 

He´s so hot

Lil troy

Agreed, still is hot at 51.

I have no idea,why I like Tal Bachman songs so much...But,I do.

It's voodoo. You don't really have a choice. I tried to not like him, and well, here I am... Don't fight it. It does no good, like "Staring Down the Sun."

Me too he wa stoo underrated now even more as his new charachter Ian Starglow! This song by the way sound nothing like "She's So High" that so upbeat this is more sentimental and slow. The first song I like better ya'll know. canaidn artists have the musique.

Because he's men-Tal.

love it!!! maria in sweden.

Beautiful Song!

Beautiful...

If you sleep, I kill you.

Holy shit that plagiarizing former friend claimed she wrote this one too! I've got the screen shots of this one as well! Please tell me how to get in touch with whoever holds the copyrights!

dats da internetz for you. thus the pics or it didnt happen thing. did they make money off the lyrics? also tal probably doesnt  even own the song, the record company does

maybe i just dont get how extensive this scam was cuz usually its just say something once or twice and fake a pic or 2 and done deal...and even more rare if its to make money with. but then is the friendship  relationship part and.. sorry dude that hurts like fuck, i had several internet friends betray me and someone i called "boyfriend" at 13...ridiculous that it still kinda hurts... one used pics of spike from buffy  to create a character abd i didnt even have tv at the time so toe exploited. guard up since then

yes plagiarism is indeed wrong. i cant know the extent of your story nor the extent of her her plagiarism through comments like this. if she stole whole obvious chunks thats disgysting but on the other hand a line or two can be considered coincidence or called "an homage". shitty non the less though

There is a reason of that .. This guys music is good .

Tried to find this very original CD, Tal Bachman's Strong Enough last few years ago in The Virgin Music shop in London, but the salesgirl seemed never heard of his name, wrote it to her but still failed to find me CD. Shame. I'm sure the Londoners have heard and enjoyed Tal Bachman's song.

I've got the original CD....;-)....

i fell in love with his voice o:

He's a talented artist.

early 2000's how times fly so fast. but with God. Time is eternity

Love this song!!!! :)

I read about this song in the Randy Bachman biography. So I decided to check t out. It is truly a beautiful song, Tal is a talented man...

one of the best songs ever made. so lyric and also so cose to the simple life, thank You Tal

he had two songs then disappeared thats why

Thumbs up if you listen to this song every chance you get and repeat as often as you can tolerate to listen to it.

wow, one hit wonder, thats a shame

Actually he had 2 hits, She's so high being another. So he's actually a 2 hits wonder

Tal Bachman needs more fame. He is an artist who has talent and so many people don't know what they're missing.

He only had one cd and that is so sad because he is so amazing he shouldn't have been done after one cd.

Sunny D!

First time I heard the song. It's sad but beautiful. Great accompaniment.

This song was so perfect for Here on Earth.

i just googled to find the scene in the film where this song was featured lol. hey 2017 :P

I saw the movie in 2000 and today 2020 for some reason I remind that movie and found it!!

I heard this on Here On Earth :)

Why dosen't he have more song out. I met his cousin Max two years ago.

The video really has nothing to do with the song. It kind of bothers me.

YES,  someone finally agrees with me

@hauntedwallawalla I believe it was a gift from your mom as well xoxo
Tal is on Facebook...I bet he would love to hear that story as well :)

I love this video and the song. He is amazing.

@stateofmind111 You've heard him before.....

I just watched the movie She's out of my League and heard his song, She's So High. I really liked that song when it came out, but didn't pay that much attention to the artist. Today I was bored and decided to look into it and WOW, I am glad I did. Tal Bachman is amazing! Note to Tal Bachman : You & your family will be in my prayers tonight. Hope all is well and that you don't give up on your music. You are really gifted!

i miss you mama

HEMOSAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESTA CANCION ME HACE IRME AL CIELO!!!

3 jealous

he rocks!!!

@MrBlackoutfriday Sony and Columbia are all one label, Sony Music owns and opperates various labels such as Columbia, Portrait, Red Ink, C2, Sony Classical, Epic, 550 Records, etc. Tal has not been associated with Sony since 2000. his second album, "Staring Down The Sun:", was released on the independant label Sextant Records in July of 2004

@LiteratiMuffin That's okay :) I don't want to share him .

@LiteratiMuffin : Maybe he should try another artist name :P

misfire.

@musicalman77 I don't use IE.

Hes Considerd A One Hitter But Hes Got A Few More Good Ones Hes Great.The Son Of Musican Randy Bachman

@vancejerry im pretty sure he does want to be famous

Getting a little tired of the Mormon ads before this video.

He left LDS, saying it was a scam. I guess the Elders don't know this.

shit i just love the way this guy aranges songs & his vocals are absolutly awsome & i think hes not famous because he doesnt want 2 be because he definately has talent,& hes been one of my favorite vacalist for years..thak you God 4 this guy..hes an inspiration atleast to me..thanks tal

I can't believe that Tal Bachman isn't famous!

@hauntedwallawalla im sorry about ur mom.
