Dream On

from Live and Kicking by Musical Juice

about

Another nostalgic song that was first aired and recorded live in 2005 at the Sage, Gateshead. Dream on - think about what used to be – never mind what might have been. It’s a tribute to Bill our roadie/sound engineer/part-time band member and minder who made all our early live recordings, performing some amazing technical wizardry with the rather crude equipment available at the time. He was a real one-off character and not for the faint of heart. Sadly, he’s no longer with us but his memory lives on in these recordings.

lyrics

Remember how we felt back then, just one desire
Searching for a dream to set the world on fire
Never realising who we'd hurt along the way
We'd just close our eyes and let the music play
We've all done foolish things and been misunderstood
But living with regrets does no one any good

Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again

We’d fill the night with beating drums and loud guitars
We weren’t going to stop until we reached the stars
Never cared to listen to what others had to say
We'd just close our eyes and let the music play
But like all things before, we couldn’t make it last
Now there’s no going back and we can’t change the past

Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again

Billy called and he asked me to say what’s going on
I said “I don’t know, I think the magic is all gone”
Then he cried, he said “No, I just can’t believe that’s true
Take away the dream from me and what else can I do?”

Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again
