In the interest of trying something different I’ve put together this collection of songs that I tend to listen to in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. They definitely set a mood, so I’ve left off the show intro and included an anonymous phone message from someone who happens to be a regular listener.

Try listening in the dark. With headphones.
