The Dreamer

[Billy]

Here's the 6th song of the Time Trap Project. It's so great to be able to compose songs with no boundaries. We don't have to pander to anyone's tastes but our own. A little self indulgent perhaps but what a lot of fun.

Thanks for the lyrics bob.

The Dreamer

Lyrics - Bob Wood
Vocals - George Williams
Bass - Andy Gupta
Music Production - Billy Playle

verse1
Dreams are seldom realized in the waking world
Point of view is often left behind
A minute becomes eternity
In a flash, reality becomes too hard to find

verse 2
Take a chance and close your eyes before the dawn
It's all that you have to do
Choose a wish to share before the night is gone
This state of mind will make it all come true

chorus
Floating weightless above the ground
Not so high and without a sound
Persona fades into disguise
Your persona fades into disguise
Deception may be hiding in the shadows
Like an agent hunting down the spy

Instrumentals

verse 3
Dreams are twisted visions of the waking world
Point of view is often cold and dark
Seconds become history in a flash
Memories feed the fire with a spark

verse 4
Take a chance and make a wish before you go
It's so easy, you'll never want to leave
In your mind, a secret no-one knows
You're the only one who needs to believe

repeat chorus

outro
I know in my heart there must be more
The dreamer holds the key to the door

[Lyric man]

thank you so much Billy , Great Composition . I think that's what I like about Rush,and respect so much....They always wrote what they loved and enjoyed to write without catering to any specific genre......or listening to the critics....after 40+ yrs I think they did pretty good,

Hi Billy,

Good to see this song posted. Another of your epic compositions.

The melody is really beautiful.

Bob's lyric and George's vocals are outstanding and complement the music perfectly.

George - nice delivery, I really like how you captured the wistful timbre.

Billy - thanks for providing me the scope to play a real bass part .
