about

I wrote this song to convey the idea that my life is the dream, and my dreams are my soul's true reality, true life. A Chris Isaac-inspired exotic electric guitar riff opens to my quiet vocal over a brushed snare. It gradually builds to a sensual chorus, lush with harmonies - the siren's answer to my yearnings. The bridge is a Lithuanian folkloric section with dulcimer, which leads to a soaring guitar solo before the final choruses.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
My life is a dream
And my dreams are my true life
If I get quiet and listen patiently
I start to feel them and hear them speak to me

CHORUS 1:
All of your longings, yearnings lie here with me
All your desires answered are now to be
In my dreams –

VERSE 2:
And so I step aside
For I can trust my dreams to be my guide
They hold the power to letting my life be free
If I get quiet and hear them speak to me

CHORUS 2: All of your longings …

BRIDGE (in Lithuanian language):
Klausysiu savo svajonių, Savo ilgesių, mano sielos kalbų
(TRANSLATION: I will listen to my longings, my yearnings, the calling of my soul)
