I was inspired to write “The Underground Railroad” after discovering that one of the railroad’s most famous conductors Harriet Tubman remarkably managed to escape and then spent more than 10 years returning to lead her family and friends safely to freedom. She did this despite suffering from the rare sleep disorder now known to be “secondary narcolepsy” or “posttraumatic hypersomnia”. I too have lived with narcolepsy since childhood, and despite having had symptoms for most of my life I didn’t receive a diagnosis until I was 49. I decided to release this song on the 22nd of September to coincide with World Narcolepsy Day to help raise awareness of this often debilitating sleep disorder.more
