Original Song. Dreaming Man

This is my third song amateurishly released.

I wrote and recorded this song within 3 hours of waking up from this dream one fall morning in 2018. The video is of a man in Antigua, Guatemala. It was shot unplanned in one-take. I never met the man.

This song is about an unshakable feeling to bring this song to life, and to bring the several other dreams I have to life through sound, light and color. It’s simply a reflection on some key moments in my journey that will or have shaped me to be the human I am on this planet.

As mentioned before… the journey to creating music has been long, interrupted, and challenging. From the earliest days of playing recitals at Deep Cove Music, I knew making music held a special place in my life. But as the years passed, ice hockey absorbed my life and it wasn’t until I was 17 that playing music resurfaced casually in my life.

At this time the cringy campfire tunes started… Some friends heckled me, others said nothing. But I knew with time, effort, and courage something would surface eventually.

It wasn’t until 2017, I started taking music more ‘seriously’. I started jamming with my brother, and musical friends. Without their continual support, my journey with music would be drastically different.

I started recording my own rifts, and songs… with time I decided to start singing. None of this was easy. But now here I am, sharing my progress.

Take a moment to listen.

Full Lyrics

Last night I met a man in dreams
He had garden, with some goats and an orchard by the sea
He whistles to the wind and he sang to his soul, merrily
This vision is with me when I’m dead
Sleeping like a stone on a mountain top edge
One day I’ll crack from erosion that calls.

Deep in body, deep in my voice, deep in my voice, deep in my soul
This sound
Light and color left me no choice.
Light and color left me no choice.
This sound
Light and color left me no choice.
Light and color left me no choice.

That day, I ran through cotton fields
Unleash my soul to the drop,
Accepted the world and water that flowed

Deep in body, deep in my voice, deep in my voice, deep in my soul
This sound
Light and color left me no choice.
Light and color left me no choice.
This sound
Light and color left me no choice.
Light and color left me no choice.
