"Sleep Through the Static" is third single from American singer/songwriter Jack Johnson's third studio album Sleep Through the Static.

The track features a short melodic opening played on a melodica with drums, electric guitar and bass following. The song features some complex lyrics, with a blues feeling and the representative Jack Johnson's groove.

Johnson implied in an interview with National Public Radio that the song was made to protest the Iraq War.[1]
