"Ode to Sleep" is a song by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. The song was recorded by the band for their second studio album, Regional at Best, and upon partnering with Fueled by Ramen re-recorded the song for their third studio album Vessel.
In regard to "Ode to Sleep", Tyler Joseph said:
The first track [on Vessel] is called Ode To Sleep and I remember back when I was first trying to name the song, we actually played it live first before it was named, and this is back when we had kind of a small following in our hometown and it was small enough that everyone got to write on a piece of paper and put into a bucket it which name they wanted the song to be named. One was Ode To Sleep – I honestly forget the other names of the songs – but it was cool because a hometown audience got to name the song. I like putting this song first on the album, because it kinda puts the listener through kind of a song structure boot camp, if you will, when it comes to them being able to anticipate what the rest of the album is. So Ode To Sleep is definitely one that we like to intro with, we open up a lot of our sets with this song and I’m really proud of how weird it is.
Regarding the creation of the song, Joseph states that he did not know "exactly how it happened" and "what [he] was thinking about", but was satisfied with the final result. One of his favorite songs to bring on stage, he defines Ode to Sleep "a puzzle because of its particular structure and how it accidentally manages to be together".
The song was written by Tyler Joseph and produced by Twenty One Pilots for Regional at Best.
After teaming up with Fueled by Ramen and a production staff of higher caliber, Greg Wells helped produce the version to appear on Vessel. Like the rest of the album, it was recorded at the Rocket Carousel Studio in Los Angeles, California.
"Ode to Sleep" originally appears on the Twenty One Pilots album Regional at Best. Next it makes an appearance on Twenty One Pilots' Three Songs EP alongside Regional at Best song "Guns for Hands" and new song (later to appear on Vessel) "Migraine". In 2017, all three tracks were certified gold by the RIAA and over 500,000 copies were sold individually.
