Classically trained pianist, singer/songwriter, and pop rebel Bonnie McKee spent her formative years in California. Growing up in a musical family helped develop her love for the theater, and her move to Seattle found the artist singing in the world-class Seattle Girl’s Choir. At the age of 12, the precocious tunesmith recorded a demo of popular covers. The responses were positive, but all involved agreed McKee would do better writing her own songs, and a new demo featuring original material was cut. After a period of social awkwardness and teenage rebellion that saw the singer kicked out of high school, her songs caught the ear of Reprise records. Recording commenced and the single “Somebody” appeared on the soundtrack to the hit comedy Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. McKee also appeared on the television show American Dreams as a young Janis Joplin. Featuring a dozen self-penned tracks and produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day) and Bob Power, her debut Trouble was released in 2004. She spent the next several years acting, honing her studio chops, and collaborating on hits for the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Taio Cruz, Adam Lambert, and Rita Ora before inking a deal with Epic Records in anticipation of her 2013 sophomore solo outing.
Bonnie McKee – Sleepwalker (Official)
Bonnie McKee – Sleepwalker Lyrics:
I went to the beach
I felt, I felt nothing
I listen to beats
I felt, I felt nothing
I went to a bar
I felt, I felt nothing
I tow down my car
I felt, I felt nothing
When I watched the heels
I felt, I felt nothing (uh, uh)
I swallowed some pills
I felt, I felt nothing
But you wake me up
I was just sleepwalking
You wake me up
Was just another sleepwalker
Bring me back to the light
You wake me up
I was out of my mind
I was just sleepwalking
But you bring me to life, baby
You wake me up
I was out of my mind
Was just another sleepwalker
Bring me back to the light
Tequila and lime
I felt, I felt nothing
My card was declined
I felt, I felt nothing
They made me a star
I felt, I felt nothing
I broke a few hearts
I felt, I felt nothing
Caught in in my skin
I felt nothing
I did it again
I felt, I felt nothing
But you wake me up
I was just sleepwalking
You wake me up
Was just another sleepwalker
Bring me back to the light
You wake me up
I was out of my mind
I was just sleepwalking
But you bring me to life, baby
You wake me up
I was out of my mind
Was just another sleepwalker
Bring me back to the light
I was out of my mind
I was just sleepwalking
But you bring me to life, baby
You wake me up
I was out of my mind
Was just another sleepwalker
Bring me back to the light
I was just sleepwalking
You wake me up
Bring me back to the light
You wake me up.
