Story Behind The Song
A song about an alternative rock band based in Los Angeles who fell prey to the trappings of the music industry in the mid-90s. And while this story may seem all too familiar, for this particular band their faithful following continue to hold on to the faintest hope that they may one day re-group.
Song Description
The guitar parts are largely influenced by 80s British folk pop such as Johnny Marr formerly of the Smiths. Even the guitar effects and rhythm are reminiscent of 80s new wave music, but with a more modern approach.

Lyrics
Julie?s always late to rise
And never one to ever realize
Julie open up your eyes
And leave those foolish dreams behind?.
But when she loves yeah she loves
And when she loves yeah she loves
Yeah she loves
Julie opens up her window
Her thoughts in black and white come crashing down
Julie do as you are told
And shed those dreams that bind you to the ground
But when she hurts then she?ll know
And when she knows then she?ll know
That when she dreams nothing grows
And empty dreams turn to sorrow
Yeah she?ll know
Julie?s always late to rise
But just in time for her to realize
Julie?s opened up her eyes
To find her dreams are what keep her alive
But when she hurts then she?ll grow
And when she grows then she?ll know
That when she dreams then she?ll show
A smile that only dreamers know
Julie knows
