“The Safety of Sleep” is a great piece of songwriting from Dave Thomas O’Gorman, a Paris-born artist based in Dublin, Ireland. The follow-up to O’Gorman’s first single “I See You Through The Slideshows,” “The Safety of Sleep” successfully aims to be a dreamy alt-rocker, achieving a very memorable mood in the two-minute runtime. Eerie guitars and quaint vocals start the procession, building toward a majestic chorus. There, around the 45-second mark, O’Gorman’s assume a more dramatic tone alongside a soaring, symphonic-like backing. Percussion becomes significnatly more involved thereafter, with the track’s mid-section doing excellently in showing the artist’s talents in vocal and instrumentation work. I’m definitely looking forward to future releases from Dave Thomas O’Gorman.
