Hahahaha, Michael, you are bad, and if I didn't know you wouldn't make a post that actually referred to what the subject line suggested I might have been fooled.

Those are good songs to listen to when you're falling asleep.

None of my friends would believe me if I told them "Petra puts babies to sleep."

Who cares what they think?

Sue D? Do you care? I thought not. Winterlens? You either? WeezerSuzanne? That's right.

Mickey takes THAT LONG to get to sleep???

Jonathan.. I do care. I always care. I care about your future wife and her not knowing what she's in for with you as a husband.

Jonathan: I don't know you, but I'm going to have to meet you some day. I like strange people.

Personally, I've never tried using Petra to go to sleep, but I can tell you that John's "Wake the Dead" is a particularly effective song to set your alarm to.

Hey,

I was in Indianapolis for their concert in March 2002 at the Pepsi Center where John sang the national anthem.

Sorry you missed me.

Now tell me. who could sleep hearding these petra songs?
I would sleep just if the songs are finished.

.
The son of my sister are 3 months old. I hold him and I bring him at my bedroom where I put petra songs. Everyday when I do that, if he is crying then he stops crying. I hope he is a great petra fan even through his parents don`t like this...

Jonathan: I am sorry I missed you too. However, I did not live in Indianapolis then.

I was here though by August when they played the state fair. That was a strange show. Ah well, another time.

One of my favorite slower songs from Petra is King's Ransom from Back to the Street. It's one of the more underrated Petra ballads in my opinion. I always have it on my favorites complilations.

It's not that it takes him that long to get to sleep... that's just the playlist that he goes to sleep listening to. In fact, if it finishes and he's awake, he comes and wakes ME up to start it playing again!

So, Petra's sleepiest album is a tie between Revival and PP2.

Purely from a track-listing standpoint that is. I am sure someone would be willing to see what the time duration is, so we can see just what the longest nap we can take is during one album.

that kid has good taste in music

I think the total time for the entire playlist is like 4-5 hours... not enough for a whole night's sleep unless you play it twice back to back.

If I think about it tonight at home I'll see which album has the longest run of sleepytime tracks.

well, he IS the original Pethead Baby!

(guess you can't really call him a baby anymore.. I'm sure Mikey wouldn't appreciate word)
