Lyrics

Do you dream of blue?
a bright sapphire hue
we’re underneath the waves
where coral forests sway

Is there peace inside the dark?
Diving deep to find the spark
It’s where magic lives
Will the abyss forgive?

below the clouds below the streams
the current carries away the troubles of today

in the sea of dreams

creature of the sea
unfounded mystery
it calls you down below
a phosphorescent glow

in the sleepless sea
lets sail into the deep
The surface slowly fades
nights turn into days

below the clouds below the streams
the current carries away the troubles of today

in the sea of dreams

So floaty dreamy trancey. And wowza those vocals.

@williamjames 4d

Dreamlike floating. The great deep blue is in front of me as the song grooves on. This is very good indeed!

@catmisgivings 5d

actually dancing to this. i love this beat. i love all the little pops in there. brings a lot of energy to this atmospheric piece. the vocals call me like a siren's song into the depths. where, who knows? i might encounter the wreckage of an epic naval battle.

@edwinb 5d

Ooh! I'm enjoying the sound here. Also the visuals. Actually I'm not sure I have anything sensible to say because I'm just enjoying the sound and the visuals too much - honestly could have kept listening for longer! Nice production and the vocals are great. I am lost in the depths like a sunk battleship.

@negasi 5d

I love how you kind of just get lost in this, floating away. Very dreamy, very ethereal, the vocals are really good as well! Just have to duck cannonballs once in awhile!

@beacon 5d

Wow, this is so cool. I feel like I'm at a club and doing that "step touch step touch" dance where I'm just vibing with the trance of it all. Great vocals. Great production, and love the visual!

@stephenwordsmith 5d

A gorgeous marriage of stygian soundscape and ethereal vocal. I get the sense of being pulled - sometimes under, sometimes across. The sea comes across as infinitely vast and mysterious, but not (necessarily) dangerous. It's a chance to lose myself in a world unexplored, the colours deep and rich, with the occasional unearthly glow, highlighting these bright denizens of the deep that exist only in my dreams.

Also, there's a naval battle.

@billwhite51 5d

the musical arrangement sounds to me like the soundtrack for a naval battle. it provides a propulsive background for the gentle vocals that float through it like word ghosts.

@leepat 6d

very nice! I think @mdavisto would dig this too.

@djtjb 6d

Oh I was hooked from those first trancey distant chords. Then the sweepers started coming in. I knew it was about to be a ride. Fantastic vox. The breakdown around 3:15 and build up to around 4:15 was pefection. This was a dreamy adventure. Loved it!

@chaotrick 6d

Smooth groove, love the melodic changes throughout. Very captivating and hypnotic.

@jinx 1w

Oh this is a GROOVE. The vocal slides along over that beat so smoothly and compellingly. The lyrics are so mysterious and atmospheric, too.

@paintonit 1w

Rad production and lovely vocals!

@daveyboy103 1w

Love the video. Very atmospheric sounds and suits the words perfectly. There is such really weird shit under the sea, stranger than any space creatures of imagination.

@sph 1w

I like this very much. It floats like the theme of the song.

@joshalmond 1w

NICE! The creature is mesmerizing to watch while the track plays. And the vocals really make the track!

@nannerll 1w

I like the trance instruments and modern feel to it. beautiful vocals! rhyming 'it calls u down below' with 'a phosphorescent glow' is crazy haha. wow u guys, this is an amazing collab! More pls

@skylermf 1w

I love the layers and textures of this beat, and how seamlessly the vocals blend into them with the echoes and reverb. Very cool song!

@mal 1w

That gif is already hypnotic. And then the music and vocals. I could listen to this for all the dark hours.

@chandra83 1w

This is gorgeous! Well done! 💙🌊

@heliosonorous 1w

All around great track, sounds awesome!

@pumpkinhead 2w

I ended up in the sea of dreams.
Beautiful. 🙏

@steelch1268 2w

Oh man, this is awesome! Love how it breaks in with the lyrics. Mood is set perfectly. Just beautiful. Great collab.

@willyviste 2w

And, you nail it again! L O V E the vocals here, and you nail it with your production again. Great work, really nail the style💯

@nadine 2w

You know how to create great soundscapes and atmospheres. You made @bijou voice float on top of a great instrumentation. I like the dramatic chords and the string arrangement. oh a trance gate haven't heard this for year. Thanks for bringing back some oldschool trance vibes.

The production is already super rad. A bit of retouch with fresh ears and you're release ready. No idea how you make such a broad stereo field
