Lyrics

EVERYBODY DREAMS

V1) I had a dream when I was a little girl
I dreamt someday that I'd live in a better world
when I was four my daddy walked right out the door
and to this day I can't trust anyone no more
CHORUS:
EVERYBODY CRIES, EVERYBODY SCREAMS,
EVERYBODY ACHES, I HOPE SOMEONE HURTS BAD AS ME
EVERYBODY'S LOW, EVERYBODY'S HIGH,
EVERYBODY DREAMS, BUT TOO DAMN MANY
DREAMS RUN DRY
V2)My mom and I, we tried to make everything right
as best we could, we made it this far knock on wood
but it hasn't been any less than frightening
and I can't pretend that I wished that this was happening
CHORUS:
EVERYBODY CRIES, EVERYBODY SCREAMS,
EVERYBODY ACHES, I HOPE SOMEONE HURTS BAD AS ME
EVERYBODY'S LOW, EVERYBODY'S HIGH,
EVERYBODY DREAMS, BUT TOO DAMN MANY
DREAMS RUN DRY
bridge: and life just slips away and with the passing days
I just can't help but think to myself
that baby it's a shame we can't just start again
I know there's more to life than ourselves
CHORUS:
EVERYBODY CRIES, EVERYBODY SCREAMS,
EVERYBODY ACHES, I HOPE SOMEONE HURTS BAD AS ME
EVERYBODY'S LOW, EVERYBODY'S HIGH,
EVERYBODY DREAMS, BUT TOO DAMN MANY
DREAMS RUN DRY

Here is an extremely passionate song that tells a story of a young girl whose dad walks out on her and she and her mom have to plow through life alone. The hurt oozes from this song and draws compassion from the listener. Very well-written dynamite lyrics. Vocal execution fantastic. The guitars and instrumentation are stellar. I love the way it ends with the beautiful guitar playing. The chorus is really tight and memorable. Great job with the key change! There are so many kids today that can relate to the message of this song. Great job, songwriter!

Gorgeous vocals in this song and some nice guitar work.

I really like the feel of this track. It has a real cool sound, sort of like Alanis meets Melissa Etheridge. Very good instrumentation and chord progression, very intelligent lyrics dealing with an important theme.

Enjoyable. Nice intro. Good Vocals! Well balanced production. Enjoyed it......................

Great song! This songs sounds very familiar which means it could do very well where ever you send it! Great job with this one. Lyrics are great, production is well rounded and vocalist does a great job in executing emotion!

Great lead vocal and rousing chorus. solid guitar work and a nice arrangement gives a nice tone to the finished piece

The song is well put together and recorded. I love to hear a well played Hammond organ laying it down in the background. Lyrics were good as was the overall vocal performance and instrumentation. Good work

Great job on the production. It seems like I'm hearing a live band playing. you guys have a nice organic sound. Everything sounds great. The guitars are nice and full. The organ sounds great and really adds to the feel and vibe of the song. Great job on the lead and background vocals. The mix is on point. This is a very radio ready and marketable tune. Good luck in finding opportunities for this one.

Good, solid rock song. Gritty and catchy. Surprising for this time in rock history. Uplifting chorus, great hooks.

Nice song great vocals. Nice instrumentation. I liked the lyrics. The song has a nice feel to it. Great work, keep it up.

Love the feel.nice overall sound. good to hear female range and the keychanges. reminds me of Pat Benatar, Patty Smyth. awesome

Great song! Love the chorus... The energy with the vocals/ music!! Very catchy !! Nice strong , perfect pitch vocals!!!

Love the intro.. instantly brought me in and wanted to hear more. The instrumentation and hook is also relly nice. The song comes across as really professional written. Overall very good song. I aspire to write this well :-)

I can sooo hear this on the radio or in a movie. Performances are perfect, vocals sit nicely in this and sang with excellence. I can go on and on!

Killer vocals. Great recording. Instruments all punch through and are well represented. Sounds like a potential country crossover. Could work as a potential theme song. I think there's licensing potential here.

nice gritty lead vocs,song builds nicely into hook , tight pop rock sound, good work

nice acoustic opening, nice "tough" female vocal, i like it. the basic instrumentation seems fine.

The hook is memorable melodically which is good. Instrumentation is very traditional. Everything is there and you've built a solid, balanced sound with the choice of instruments. Vocal pitch was on the whole time as far as I could hear. I didn't hear any "pitchiness" which is great. Arrangement was spot on. There is an overall very knowledgable, professional sound and structure to the song. You clearly have a good understanding of how to put a song together.
