Dreaming it All Away
This evolved a bit. I had the chord structure quickly but the lyrics have taken me almost to the deadline day! The content started off as a little ditty about life not living up to expectations, but it ended up taking the viewpoint of frustrated musician. In truth I’m not quite as melancholy about the whole music thing as the song suggest, but, well you’ve got to tell a story haven’t you? The bit about being told that music is not a career probably resonates with a lot of people, but I’ve earned a decent living in the construction industry so I’m not complaining.
I love the ‘dreaming it all away’ refrain. Great melody, fits the chords beautifully. Great job!
Aw, love this. Some very satisfying rhymes in there, and it kept me listening all the way through, which is my definition of a good song.
Lovely Jonathan. Thanks for giving it a go and the result is great. Really enjoyed the dreaming it all away refrain and the theme resonates with many of us here I’m sure.
Good stuff!
Pretty melody and lovely chord progression. Very enjoyable altogether
I think this resonates with many of us & our dreams. There’s a delightful lightness of touch and wistfulness to this that I really enjoy.
After hearing you play this at the Open Mic last night, I wanted to hear it again as I really enjoyed it, I felt your Open Mic performance last night had more of an impact and stronger representation of the song than this recording. I liked the choice of chords and the subject that is very relatable – the lyrics were good too and were well crafted to express the sentiment.
