Lyrics

All My Dreams



(Verse)

Halfway from Hell, the ocean swells 'round New Orleans

A new nightmare is soon to arise

There's a wicked wind blowing out on the ocean

And when the morning comes, you won't believe your eyes

(Pre-Chorus)

But peering out through the darkness,

You will see your life differently

(Chorus)

When all of your dreams, Just washed away

(Verse)

God only knows the reasons why

Just leave it be and fly by night to the high ground

I hate to say goodbye

I've lost all but my memories

Pictures of our past just swept away

With the high tide

It's enough to make you cry





(Pre-Chorus)

But peering out through the darkness,

You will see your life differently

(Chorus)

When all of your dreams, Just washed away

(Bridge)

But I still got you and the sun came up just this morning

And I didn't lose my faith to the wind

And when this day is history I'll be mourning

Cause, that girl took away everything but my pride

(Chorus)

And all of my dreams, Just washed away





Has a nice sound, and decent mix. Lyrics paint a clear picture.

The guitars are sweetly done. Vocals are spot on! great track thanks :)

Very original take on what mother nature can dish out to us, and the fact that we must accept it and move on. Very good lyrics and very well put together musically as well. Nice arrangement and recording.


Sounds very 70s-ish to me ...sort of like Yacht rock ... liked the little key change in the bridge just before the chorus. Very straightforward song. Pleasant to the ears.

love the intro with that organ sound leads into an instantly catchy track with a feel good sound. The singer has a classically good country voice which is real easy to listen to. The song would not be out of place on the radio and has a great hook that is instant - really enjoyed this

This song had me hooked and wanting to hear more right from the onset. The lyrics are very believable and the melody is catchy and versatile while still hitting home with a strong message. This songs ability to instill an emotional reaction while simultaneously not going over the top or losing it's "easy listening" feel is excellent.

immediate melody kicks in for a enjoyable light sounding track
with deeper lyrics and theme
nice rhythm on the guitar, the organ was very good too fitted very well., good vocal and performance makes for a enjoyable tune.

Hello there!
Good song with charming main melody and good vocal delivery.
Some interesting twists and chord progressions.
Easy to listen to and enjoy, which is the most important for me as a listener...

nice song and pleasant country vocals

Emotive imagery in the lyric complemented by a strong vocal, but perhaps need a more strident melody for refrain ie 'peering out through the darkness...dreams get washed away' (think it sounds better second time, but I'm thinking more like the bit around c2:08 where the song threatens to take off but doesn't quite). Nevertheless, this is an excellent pop offering with a polished production/mix, and an acoustic guitar (i think!) that drives the upbeat feel of the song throughout.
