In My Dreams

"In My Dreams" is part of a series of three different songs I wrote in the last month (all during naps - oddly) . It's been crazy, with lyrics and words, and chord arrangements just flowing out.

I wrote three different songs, two of which we finished and performed on the night. The third is a massively ambitious project that is going to need the support of a piano, and basically a whole band. Let me know if you're keen on helping!

The three songs are vastly different, the inspiration, in order, ranging from soft country rock, to Skunk Anansi style anger and raw emotion, to complete over the top but meaningful and rocking yet tear-jerking 80s/90s glam rock ballads.

Thank you Jasper Dick for helping me fine tune this first song and for your contributions that made it exactly how I dreamed it would be.

It was hard to get through as I fought back tears and the giant lump in my throat...For any of you who are hurting and feeling loss, or lost, and need a little comfort... or maybe a lot... this song is for you.

"In My Dreams" - Claire Mobey
Performed by Claire Mobey and Jasper Dick at Andy’s Club Take 2

Ooohhhhh Ooohhhhh
In my sleep, you are all I need
While I lye dreamin', there you are with me
My dreams ain't got a good sense of the time
And they can't count the years wasted, gone by

Cause in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
And in my dreams
You never said goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't stay asleep, I'll die
Even though I know that's how you'd stay with me

Ooohhhhh Ooohhhhh

You brush my hair and pin a butterfly
You see my soul when you look through my eyes
I'm fast asleep but I know it ain't right
I shut my eyes, yeah God I squeeze them tight

Cause in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
And in my dreams
You never said goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't stay asleep, I'll die
Even though I know that's how you'd stay with me

Ooohhhhh Ooohhhhh

I feel the air movin' across my face
As you whisper "I Love You" in an embrace
The harder I try to hold onto you
The more you fade away, just like I knew

That in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
And in my Dreams
You never said goodbye
This time I swear that I'll try
To stay sleep although I'll die
Cause that's the only way you'd stay with me
Cause that's the only way you'd stay with me

Cause in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
And in my dreams
You never said goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't stay asleep, I'll die
Even though I know that's how you'd stay with me

Ooohhhhh Ooohhhhh
