ABOUT AMBER G PRODUCTIONS:

After going viral in 2013, Amber wanted to create an ASL interpreting agency that focused on making significant changes when it came to ASL access in the music industry. That's when Amber G Productions was born. She started working on training a diverse group of Deaf and hearing interpreters all over the world so that concertgoers from all walks of life would gain equality to the concert experience. She also focuses and consults on advocacy education in the entertainment field to ensure businesses are providing the best access to their Deaf and HOH consumers. Amber and her talented team continue to increase accessibility efforts at dozens of festivals yearly all over the country and the world. Her company also works with artists to make their music accessible on social media platforms/channels. She often sources Deaf performance interpreters to create the ASL videos. This strengthens our Deaf and hard-of-hearing Ecosystem. Amber strongly believes that by making music accessible at the very inception of any event or concert truly uplifts humanity and creates a vibrational shift in our hearts and minds. Music is a culture and it doesn't discriminate, it brings people together. "Let us be the music to your eyes." - AG

LYRICS

Take a deep, waking breath

Hope the blood arrives

Burn my eyes with the sun

And pretend I’m alive

It never will appear

Strong as past desire

Light warming disappears

Like a cold, dead fire

 

Should I fall, I fall down

Would you come, you come round

 

Wake me

Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming

Wake me

Day after day, repeating

Wake me

Sleepwalk my life away

 

Stagger on through the fog

In the midnight sun

Shouting out at the shapes

Of the nameless no ones

All isn’t what it seems

Cannot comprehend it

Captive inside a dream

Where the dawn won’t end it

 

Should I fall, I fall down

Would you come, you come round

 

Wake me

Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming

Wake me

Day after day, repeating

Wake me

Sleepwalk my life away

 

Should I fall, I fall down

Would you come, you come round

 

Wake me

Caught in the spell, I’m dreaming

Wake me

Day after day repeating

Wake me

Sleepwalk my life away

Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich & Robert Trujillo
