Lyrics

Your long lost dreams
Those plans and schemes
A world away
The games you play

Smoke and mirrors
Still deceiving your eye
Watch the clock
And see the time fly by
As the day dissolves into the night sky
All the way, all the way, all the way

Your long lost dreams
Those plans and schemes
A lifetime away
The games you play

We all make the same mistakes
We all make the same mistakes

Your long lost dreams
Those plans and schemes
A world away
The games you play

All the same, all the same, all the same

Your long lost dreams
Those plans and schemes
A lifetime away
The games you play

Cos we all make the same mistakes
We all make the same mistakes
We all make the same mistakes
We all make the same mistakes


I really liked this, I think the vocals work well, she has a good tone to her voice which fits with the vibe of the song.

it evolved nicely, bass worked well, it had that groove, while still being quiet downtempo

sounds a bit like Robyn, with the bass rather than trip-hop.

I've listened to a couple of times, refreshing to hear good music on these reviews!

Very smooth and calming tune, pleased with vocals and lyrics. Good for rainy day playlist with a cup of coffee.The singer reminds me of Morcheeba Skye Edwards.Good quality work.

I love the arrangement on this track! Tasty vocals standing on a lo-fi beat that builds and unfolds into a banging song! This is a great reference of this genre I hope you have more songs like this one. I'm sure you have some great sonic stories to tell Collaborations with DJs/Producer and remixes of this song a must!

Gorgeous melody, and the lyrics were very relatable. The recording quality was top-notch. All in all, this is gladly something I would listen to on a regular basis.
Also, the piano was a lovely touch. It gave a sparkling, almost ethereal feel to the track.
And the beat was nice & strong.
