"Awake" was the opening shot for Wholesale Meats and Fish, the second album from alternative rockers Letters to Cleo, picked as its first single in 1995. Singer Kay Hanley wrote it together with the band, and Mike Denneen produced and recorded it.
The album around it split the critics, and Hanley's voice was the sticking point: the New York Times credited her crisp delivery with lifting the band out of the college-band pack, while Entertainment Weekly heard too much petulance in the love songs.
