about

The lyrics are based on an overheard snippet of a conversation between two young people at a gig in a crowded café (The Cheeky Mango in Merimbula) - they were both in their late teens, both musicians in town playing in a local jazz festival. They'd clearly just met and the mutual attraction was obvious. As they wandered past me to go outside, I heard her ask him "what are you studying?". He answered "astronomy". It was cute - they were both shy, but really keen. I hope I captured some of that - and that they might have met up again later ;)

A very big thank you to Anne Cozean from North Fork, California for the beautiful backing vocals which gave the song a big lift.

Gavin did OK on drums, considering it was his first time out of the cage ;)

lyrics

Dream For Dream
©2014 Neil Porter

He was dark side
Eyes open wide
He was studying the moon
She was out for air
She didn’t care
Was she giving in too soon?

So they talked straight
And they stayed up late
And she matched him dream for dream
And the time flew
And no-one knew
She asked him where he’d been
And the moon shone
He was almost gone
Things seemed just what they seem

Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream
Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream

Two hands brushed
The lady blushed
The sky was full of stars
And there was Saturn, Venus, Jupiter
Did she think there’s life on Mars?

So they walked late
And they got on great
And he matched her dream for dream
And the time flew
And no-one knew
He asked her where she’d been
And the moon shone
She was almost gone
Things seemed just what they seem

Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream
Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream

His hopes were high
When they said goodbye
Some good things end too soon
He was dark side
Eyes open wide
He was studying the moon

Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream
Dream for dream
She matched him
Dream for dream
