Sam let the fans choose the subject matter for his next song and this was the outcome, entitled “Still My Dream”. In general I like this song more than some of his other recent originals. It has a sweet tone to it and it’s cool how he incorporated idea’s from his fans. I’m not 100% fanatic about it though, it’s still a bit flat in energy for my tastes.
“You should write about goals that kids have when they are little, like being an astronaut, king, ect. And how it all turns out in the end.”
Thanks everybody for your amazing ideas! There was a lifetime supply of brilliance. I ended up incorporating a number of other entries into the song as well – it ended up having a love song spin.
It’s about how sometimes we don’t realize what it is we really want in life until it falls on us.
Lyrics after the break.
[verse]
when I was a boy
I thought that one day I could be
captain of a pirate ship
terror of the seven seasor maybe a superhero
flying through the sky
vanquishing the evil dudes
with lasers from my eyes[chorus]
is nothing as it seems
could this be the real life
or is this still just be my dream
cause you are all I see
nothing that I ever thought I wanted
but you are everything I need[verse]
when I was a child
I thought that maybe someday soon
I could take off in a rocket ship
and write my name up on the moontransform into a dinosaur
ravaging the land
giant teeth and giant claws
on tiny arms with tiny hands[chorus]
[bridge]
I never knew that I would find you
walking in the dark
I kissed you in the park
and now I know that this is what I’m meant to be[chorus] x2
