I Don't Dream

written & performed by Hook

I don't dream
At least I don't remember a thing
No swirling fascinating
Colorful world that I'm creating
From the truest me
At least none that I can see

But if I did
I'm sure I'd soar with eagles in the clouds
Or rock out with a band that's way to loud

In my dream
I hope I'd  be a better me
One with fewer flaws
And longer patience
And a better outlook
On all things

I'm sure I'd soar with eagles in the clouds
Or rock out with a band that's way to loud
I'd grow my hair real long
You'd know the words to my song

I don't dream
Though I wish I did
Just to escape this life
And all its strife
And struggle I endure
Just a moment that seems pure

[Groundy]

Love this one Hook,
Great sound, such a great backing you have made,
The beginning was a bit like the style of Rod Stewart's numbers.
Nice one.

Excellent hook,rock out with a band that's way too loud....that's me 😎
I remember one of the good things about the uk met was we where in a proper studio belting it out through the amps.
We really must do it again, there's slot to be said about the freedom from headphones and using the air in the room.
Brilliant

uketastic, that intro is to die for. the rest of the song is no three bad either.

I love that unique Hook sound!!

Those effects on uke sounds so good and square sine does the same!

Uke on!!

Well your name is Hook for a good reason. This has a great hook and keeps the listener on the barb. Such a great vibe and melody on the vocals - terrific lyric. That sine wav is the icing here. It has the perfect pitch and fits in the song really well.

Well done,
Mach
