about

Track 7 from the upcoming concept album "Don't Wake the Dreamer Pt. II"

Have you ever had a dream about someone you loved who is no longer with you? In this song, Marsha (the protagonist of the concept album) successfully recalls a cherished memory within a lucid dream, a moment in time she wishes to relive over and over again. It's honestly the saddest song I've ever written. Musically, it's ethereal, haunting, and beautiful all at the same time. Lyrically, it's one painfully simple verse of raw catharsis; honest, self-revelatory, and truly heartbreaking.

lyrics

Don't let me wake up now
Tell me I'm not dreaming
To lose you again is a thought
I can't bear
I know it's not real
I don't care
