your dream song

Lucid Lounge
1

(got this idea after reading sureal’s sig)

post the name of your dream song, the band that plays it, and the lyric in the song (if any) that made you chose it as your dream song.

mine is either:
London by Splender
‘and though its leading me on, and though i know that it’s wrong, and though im living my dream, i’ve been to london…’

or

Stockholm Syndrome by Blink 182
‘I’m so lost
I’m barely here
I wish i could explain myself
The words escape me
It’s too late
To save me
You’re too late
You’re too late’

Astral Projection - People Can Fly

It starts at 6:42 with “When you dream there are no rules. People can fly, anything can happen. Sometimes there’s a moment as you’re waking when you become aware of the real world around you, but you’re still dreaming.”
Then comes in a beautiful soft melody… slowly building up until it feels like you’re on board of an ecstatic flight through Dreamland. Finally the beat brings it all to a height… Awesome track :happy:

I have too songs.

The first is Evanescence - Imaginary (see lyrics topic)

and the second is a song that exsists only in my dreams. Sadly i never remember the words when i wake up, though sometimes i remember the tune.

I one day hope to remember at least some of the lyrics next time i dream of it so i can write them down.

Song called Scissor Lock by Dredg:
[i]I think I’m awake, rolling on my blanket,
I am sinking

Into the bed, light around me,
Beautiful washes of pulsating color,
Buzzing white noise, it sounds like 100 bees

I, too, once thought the radio played,
Let’s act like children while we sleep paralysed. (repeats)

Lucid, you control it, you’re body’s asleep,
Your mind is awake[/i]

This song is from album El Cielo that has lots of references to Lucid Dreaming and Sleep Paralysis. Strong theme on the album is one Salvador Dali’s painting which he painted inspired by a dream. Music is beautiful melodic rock, dreamy, aerie and soothing… Reminds me of A perfect Circle and Porcupine Tree at their best.

And gotta say i love that Astral Projection song, to me its their best.

Spiders- System of a Down

The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,

Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,

Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,

Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,

The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,

Through my head,
Before you know, Awake

(SOLO)

Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,

Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

Or…

Infinite Dreams- Iron Maiden

Infinite dreams I can’t deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn’t hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid nightmare’s statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
Getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There’s more to this I’m on the brink
It’s not the fear of what’s beyond
It’s just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?

It can’t be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you’re an unbeliever
Spiritualist? Well me I’m neither
But wouldn’t you like to know
The truth
Of what’s out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You’re on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?

Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There’s got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I’d like to think that when I die
I’d get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again

1.Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd:

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.

…I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

2.and Exit Music (for a film) by Radiohead, personal fav, just because of the tone of Tom’s voice while he sings this song, and the guitar part. Seriously, listen to this while going to sleep it helps. Has some slightly different lyrics too.

Wake… from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack… and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don’t lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can’t do this alone

Sing… us a song
A song to keep us warm
There’s such a chill, such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke

That one by the Beatles maybe? I forget thename, but it’s track 3 on Sgt. Pepper, and someone here has some lyrics from it as their location. It’ very surreal.

Or possibly, uhmmm, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. Now,everyone should hear that song.

Or Sleep, by the Dandy Warhols.

Or Out To Get You, by James. I always listen to that when I’m drinking mint tea in bed, so I asocciate the two things in my mind really strongly.

Ok… I havent got a dream song as such… But i do have a dream album.

I particularly recommend this to all Pink Floyd fans points to Comfortably Numb :wink:

Being a fan myself, I discovered Roger Waters solo music (he went solo after Pink Floyd split). The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking is my choice for dream album.
The whole album is all one storyline, one song if u like, although it is split into tracks. If u know Floyd, then u probably know what i mean. The story is set in Rogers mind, whilst asleep…he`s dreaming. a few times throughout the night its obvious he becomes lucid.

Just a few excerpts:

Where he realises hes dreaming, is lucid and takes control.
There were Arabs with Knives
At the foot of the bed
Right at the foot of the bed
Oh my God how did they get in here?
I thought we were safe home in England
She said “Come on now kid, it was wrong what you did
You’ve got to admit it was wrong”
Oh god…Jesus
Sleep Sleep
I know that I’m only dreaming
Leave her alone…get out…out…get out of my house
Through closed eyes
I see West German skies on the ceiling
And I want to get back
To the girl with the rucksack
To feel her flaxen hair
I want to be there
See the sun going down
Behind Krupps steelworks
On the outskirts of some German town

This I interpret as a false awakening, then dreaming carries on.
I awoke in a fever
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
She said “You’ve been having a nightmare
And it’s not over yet”
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed between two bits of bread

The dreams he has throughout the night are a reflection of his feelings of love for his woman and trying to fight the fear of losing her.
As I said before, every track is part of the storyline of the whole album. I have given u my general interpretation of the storyline, others may read it slightly differently.

All I can say is that Pros and Cons of Hitchiking has been my absolute favorite album for 7 years and still nothing has yet surpassed it(For my personal taste anyway :smile: ) If you get a chance to listen to it, whack some half-decent headphones on, sit back and enjoy :tulip:

You mean Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
Lucid Sky Dreams has it as a location :smile:

[i]Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newpaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you’re gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (fade out)
