Someone Else's Dream
by @katannette
Liner Notes
Lyrics
I’ve been sleeping in a house over a canyon
The mist will linger long into the day
It’s all familiar but I can’t see where I’m standing
Makes me think I'll always feel this way
There is a cobweb strung above my kitchen cabinet
Keep saying I should clean it up today
I am torn between my wants and all my habits
Makes me think l'll always be this way
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh Is there hope for any change
Oh, oh, oh does it matter what we say
Cause I have so many things I want and
Everything I need
Still I'm running, still I'm running
But not free
Are you? Is she?
Are we all of us in someone else's dream?

Very nice vocals and melody! I really like the lyrics too especially the line: "I am torn between my wants and all my habits Makes me think I'll always be this way." There's always that fine line of chasing dreams vs responsibilities. And you've captured it well in this song. Well done!

For such a sad sounding song, your voice and guitar are soothing; this song makes me feel better. Very poignant.

Really well crafted lyrics. Some of those rhymes are totally fresh and they work like a charm. Very impressive songwriting.

For some reason, I couldn’t get the audio to play, but I sure liked the lyrics. I’ll try again later.

Ohhhh my goodness. This is SO gorgeous. What a magnificent song, and such beautiful delivery. Your voice is perfect for this. I really, really loved listening to this!

I really love your voice. Soft, and very genuine in the delivery of these lyrics. I was hearing a far off sound of strings and other emotive sounds that could accompany this song. It's very complete as is, but I couldn't help but hear more being evoked in my imagination while getting lost in your song. Your lyrics were able to capture a place of dreams and the questions posed throughout stir the imagination, or at least mine, into daydreams. Great song, hope you keep this up all of FAWM. :)

I love how you captured everything in 2 verses and a chorus. I, at first thought to short but no it is complete as is. Great Job!

I love your soft vocal delivery, what a beautiful voice. The lyrics are haunting, with the simply halting guitar perfectly complimenting the wistful theme of the song. Really well done!
