"Sleeping" or “Slapen” is one of the songs included on Eddy Zoëy's 7th studio album. This album includes a number of intimate songs which Eddy wrote, produced, and performed entirely by himself.

 

The song “Sleeping” is indeed a lullaby, played on acoustic guitar. Furthermore, in the subtle construction of the song, a bass guitar handled by Eddy, shaker, and cajon. All quietly cumulating to a small form of crescendo. And that's it. It doesn't take much to put something beautiful and honest down.

 

Lyrically, the content is meant to be soothing and "soother" for anyone who has the feeling that they have a lot to give, a lot work, with little feeling of progress in return. The message is; come to rest, look at something a different way, preferably from a different angle, and perhaps start again.
