The Dream

The Dream

About ten years ago I wrote this song. It was pure and wonderful fantasy. However, it ended up being prophetic. And, six years ago when this man here found me; he made the dream come true.

I have wanted, for some time now, to do a piece of art inspired by this song, and our love story. This piece is a compostite of a self-portrait Jamie took (of himself, obviously) and a self-portrait I took of me (yeah, obviously). After blending the two portraits together, I Ortonized the whole thing to give it a very intentional dreamy look.

PLEASE, I urge you – implore you, even – to LISTEN to the song, here: The Dream, I think listening to it, with the music, will help you grasp the import of this piece better than just reading the lyrics alone will…but, I’ll post them, too…and you can read along as I sing.

He sees her in the moonlight.
She dances in his dreams.
He feels her reaching out to him,
calling out his name,
calling,

‘Wake up,
I’m waiting for you,
Come to me,
I cry out to you,
Find me now,
I’m waiting for you to wake up
And make the dream come true.
Make the dream come true…’

Sweet kisses in the moonlight,
Embraces in the dark.
Together in this moment,
In each other’s arms,
She whispers,

‘Wake up,
I’m waiting for you,
Come to me,
I cry out to you,
Find me now,
I’m waiting for you to wake up
And make the dream come true.’
