- "Let Me Sleep Beside You" is a song written and recorded by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was recorded on 1 September 1967 at Advision Studios in London and marked the beginning of Bowie's working relationship with producer Tony Visconti, which would last for the rest of Bowie's career. A departure from the pop and music hall-influenced material of Bowie's 1967 self-titled debut album and other singles for Deram Records, the song displays a more rock-oriented sound with a cello arrangement from Visconti. The impressionist lyrics also depart from Bowie's prior works, describing love using the act of sleeping together rather than through emotional attachment. The song was rejected by Deram for release as a single, purportedly due to the risqué title. It remained unreleased until 1970's The World of David Bowie compilation. Bowie performed "Let Me Sleep Beside You" during his BBC radio session on 20 October 1969, which has seen release on numerous albums. A remixed version was also featured in the 1969 Love You till Tuesday film. Several publications, including The Guardian, Consequence of Sound and Mojo, have listed it as one of Bowie's best songs. Bowie later remade the song during the sessions for the Toy project in mid-2000, along with other tracks he wrote and recorded during the mid-1960s, such as "Karma Man". The remake first saw an official release on the three-disc edition of the 2014 compilation Nothing Has Changed and again in 2021 with the entire Toy album, as part of the Brilliant Adventure (1992–2001) box set. The remake was positively received. (en)

- [That song] might have been influenced by Simon & Garfunkel. I still thought I might have a chance of being a romantic songwriter, which never proved to be my forte. (en)
