The Dreaming (with Sister Savage)
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed… So I turned it over to one Sister Savage… And she did nothing less than make it perfect.
THE DREAMING
Oh the places I’ve been
Oh the faces I’ve seen
Not a cloud in the sky
And the grass is so green
I stay up too late
Hoping I’ll find
Those faces again
In the back of my mind
My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming
Oh the places I’ve been
Standing in the sky
Or jumping waves
It’s the reason why
I stay up too late
It’s the only way
To send my mind
Back to those days
My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming
Oh the places I’ve been
Tonight I hope to go
Back there again
To the faces I know
I stay up so late
Hoping I’ll find
Those faces again
From the back of my mind
Where I don’t need redeeming
My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming
I stumbled across this little gem this morning. Impressive songwriting by you Kieth, and outstanding delivery by Tess!
Oh yes!!! Purringly perfect!
I still love your voice Sis, and Kieth guitar skills are still awesome. Love you two collabing together! so good!
A Gem of a song....well written......well played......well sung........your voice sounds excellent against Keiths guitar ...there should be more of these on here.......a dream of a collab.....Bravo!! Bravo!!! and tha applause just got louder and louder from the man in front of the computer .....more.....more...
As the guys said, a high quality pice of music from both of you. Superb
Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.
Hey Keith - this is the demo vocal not the final one, but I'm happy if you're happy. Tess
