This is a raw recording of a spontaneous composition, captured in the moment on a Brooklyn rooftop on 8-13-2007. AJ Leone is on guitar, and his friend is improvising singing over top...the lyrics and chord changes would later integrate into the theme of JUDO NO's "Sleeping is the Devil" opus, released on this album, 11 years later. AJ Leone over dubbed the "So La La" vocals over this raw recording toward the end of the track to segue into the rest of the album and bridge the 11 year gap of the moment of conception and the fully developed arrangement.

(Wake up)...Sleeping is the Deh-eh-ville, if you sleep, you never wake up...Sleeping is the Devil, if you sleep, you'll never wake up, Sleeping is the Deh-eh-ville, Sleeping is the Deh-eh-ville, if you sleep, you never wake up (WAKE UP)...
