I’m Only Sleeping is a popular song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It is the third track on the album by the Beatles called ‘Revolover’, a groundbreaking piece of musical genius.

These are some songs calibrated in our very relaxed yet intense yet simplistic - but at all times open minded - clinic that are extremely close to I’m Only Sleeping by speed as groups and beats per minute.

The songs are cut and pasted from my own work, so I don’t have to apologize for the typos! Whoops, this is where I vouchsafe for the numbers. Even our thankless president does not appreciate “fuzzy” math.
