Dreaming...(Strobicaxe)

This volume contains all my song collabs from the archive Songramp site, up until July 2014

Lyric by Beeswing
Music by Strobicaxe (Alex Stangl)
A lyric I never thought would make a song...and then I met Alex! :) Ah!..those were the days :))

Dreaming's Just a State of Mind
Verse 1
Why is night-time thinking so intense?
How does the dark turn madness into sense?
What magic moves within the midnight mind
Unlocking long forgotten doors
Revealing visions undefined
Defying daylight laws?

Chorus
Dreaming's just a state of mind
And you don't even need to be asleep
You can choose the illusions
That you kinda like to keep
Dreaming's just a state of mind
You don't need to be asleep

Verse 2
The sunshine darkens every deepest dream
And the light's too loud to hear the stream
Of consciousness that's sleeping in your mind
Tangled tunes and mangled rhymes
Unravel, replay then rewind
You forget how many times

Chorus

Bridge
Daylight, sunlight, twilight, dusk
Doesn't really matter much
It's weaving dreams inside your heart
It's taking tired old trains of thought apart
It's looking at the same old payload from a different view
It's changing washed-out words for something new

Verse 3
But when the darkness falls you come alive
Allowing free expression to arrive
Sweet sensuous music of the slumbering soul
Your inspiration waits to wake
The night will make your half-life whole
Transcending truth and fake

Chorus II
Believing's just a state of mind
Whether you're awake or you're asleep
You can kick the real right out the door
Just hold on to your illusions
All your dreams and your delusions
You know they're always yours to keep

            Ah, a favorite subject of mine! Yeah, dreaming... especially these lyrical lines that flow so well like you always create them, Diane. Great job on the musical arrangement and vocals, Alex! Joe

            I live in a constant state of dreaming...reality is WAY to scary to face LOL. Alex has blended your words with his musical notes perfectly....but then again, I might just be dreaming and not really here....nah...I'm always here...great job you two....Jamie

            Love the intelligent lyric and I, for one, can certainly identify with it. As usual, Alex has done a superb job with his dreamy style of writing and performing. Cool collab, you two! ~ John

            Diane, I can't imagine how you thought of so many things to say about dreaming! Brilliant mind.
            I especially liked the instrumental break of Alex's. Very nice and dreamy!

            I was seeing one of those twinkling dream sequence, effects from an old TV show, as I was transcended into this song. Bee you are a master dream weaver! And Alex your interpretation is flawless, don't know if I've heard you sing any better!? great work!

            this has to be your best lyric yet, diane. every line is packed with metaphor - beautifully written. the idea that we carefully pick which illusions we want to keep is Terribly True! alex sings this as if he'd written it - amazing ability to craft the melody to the lyric for maximum effect. excellent teamwork, folks. anne

            Good stuff. My dreams last night were influenced by a bit too much wine, so I need to go work on the aspirin song. Cool song--lyrically, you take the listener to quite a few places.

            Ya Bee - still trying to figure out what happened - someday I'll really be happy my part in it all (& that ain't some false modesty nonsense) - BUT - great lyrics as always - always good fun doing the trans-Antlantic thing - P&L, ~AS~

            Lady Bee you have just grown to incredible levels as a writer. Alex translated the whole 'dreamy' notion wonderfully. what a mind expanding song this is. wow. just really wow. It feels like a dream just listening. schawwwwwonderful.

            Terrific lyric..agree with Rard. You've made a difficult leap from poet to lyricist. And we got to hear it. :) V2 L4 speaks to me!! Thanks--Greg
