Singer-songwriter John Gardner of Common Jack wrote Still Awake during a moment of life change when it felt like the ground was constantly shifting beneath his feet. Due to the upheaval, he found himself staying awake late into each night. What began as a collection of thoughts documenting his trouble sleeping became a love letter to close relationships and how they can keep us grounded during moments of doubt and uncertainty. Ironically – and unintentionally – the song also speaks well to our moment of social distance.
