Last night, in my dream, I crawl out the window
Of my home in the country
To meet with my neighbor downstairs
Who was playing his harmonica
I wake to a rainstorm, gaze out the window
My grey city skyline
I see my neighbor downstairs,
Holding an outstretched arm, cup in hand
I reach for my guitar, start playing & singing
A song I suddenly know
My neighbor downstairs is clapping and singing
The words I can’t recall now
The rain starts to letup
The city awakens & the Suits, & the Suits pass on by
My neighbor downstairs, catches my eye
He nods and mouths the words I don’t know
- During the Spring/Summer of 2012, I started having and remembering some pretty amazing dreams, one of which included the framework of a song. Pretty awesome occurrence, one I can’t make up, and further illustrates that ya just can’t force song writing.
- On the album, I will be joined by friends and family playing various instruments with the intention of including as many folks as possible in the creative process.
