When using loops to create a song first started to become all the rage, I was not that impressed. I always thought you should be able to play music to create a song. That was the musician in me talking. But after awhile, the recording engineer in me realized it's cool. It's like a collage of different musical ideas melding into one piece to create something original. I decided to try my hand at musical quilting so I got a library of loops and started playing around for fun trying to create different ambiances. I put together a small collection of looped music compositions. I liked this one and named it dreamloop. I was listening to it while flying home from a trip to Alaska at night and kind of sketched out a lyrical direction.
DON'T WAKE ME UP
as I close my eyes on this moonlit night
pillow whispers in my ear so tempting that I might
just lift you up and carry you away
alone together now well it's here I want to stay
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
just you and I high above it all
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
but catch me if I fall
the world to see, be who we want to be
floating in a trance while drifting with the breeze
it's never to cold and never too hot
no worries nor the cares, it's as tho' time forgot
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
just you and I high above it all
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
but catch me if I fall
REM and all its glory, freedoms in the air
music flowing through our fates grow passions if we dare
never too late to flee the day, never too late to see
intoxicating visions while drunk with ecstasy
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
just you and I high above it all
don't wake me up cause I'm dreaming
but catch me if I fall
pillow whispers in my ear so tempting that I might

it's never to cold and never too hot
