Lyrics

Solo Dream
© 2010, 2012 Words and Music by Warren Hein

Stuck up here all by myself
No one knows I'm flying stealth
Is this a dream? Gotta wake up to know
My props have stopped there's something wrong
I glide alone like Major Tom
Always right seldom wrong I fly solo

I break through dark black clouds
My piper free falls down
Whistling wind the only sound
Clear as a Van Gogh below
Wheat fields and crows

Wonderin' if I should mayday
Or crash into those bales of hay
No one gives a damn anyway
I'm so low
No tower voice says "hey bail out!"
Strapped in tight I glance on down
No red carpet no white foam to be found

I hear those crickets now
Sweaty sheets all around me
Awake in bed on solid ground
I stare at ceiling shadows still solo
So low
I'm so low

I like the vocals and the visual references in the lyrics. Bit of a Pink Floyd sound.

Where did this gem come from? The cling of a bell followed immediately by wailing guitars pulled me right in and then the progressive descent of notes in catchy tuneful phrases is just like the free fall inside of a dream. Lyrically, this tells a unique vivid story...sometimes a dream state feels just like reality, or it could even be the other way around! Excellent songcraft!

Good song and good mix. Reminds me of pink floyd almost

Very well done piece, both musically and lyrically. Very well put-together with great effects and arrangement.
