about

ThIs Is a trIbute to John Lennon, maInly, but It goes out to anybody who has sacrIfIced themselves for the greater good and spoken out against Injustice. And anybody who's ever believed in a dream and struggled to make it happen, even while being ridiculed and ostracized for it. It speaks for artists and musicians who work at great lengths, only to be misunderstood or undiscovered. Hopefully, it speaks for you and gives you some energy to persevere. The dream lives on!

Instrumentation:
There's some pItch automatIon runnIng an old mellotron sample. I had recorded the PIANO and had to tune to It as I overdubbed varIous Instruments. It took some effort to match the tone and I eventually used pItch control to tune the EXS and automatIon to change the notes. It's a weIrd way to create keys for sure.
There's also some MIDI Nylon GodIn GuItar makIng the flute sounds as well as some acoustIc guItar, electrIc bass, tambo and conga.

lyrics

DREAM LIVES ON

Written by: BRAD TIDSWELL

When you show them your dreams
Will they really be
Able to perceive
The meaning of the Song
Will they really believe enough
To sing along

Dreamer your dream still lives on
Dreamer your dream will come true in time
Just as this word
Will rhyme

You made your mark on this tiny world
You gave them your love
And they shot you down
I wish that you were here today
I know you'd change
Things around

Dreamer your dream still lives on
Dreamer your dream will come true in time
Just as this word
Will rhyme
