The Dream of Life

I wonder I wonder what you would do,

If you had the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream.

You would I suppose start out by fulfilling all your wishes,

You could design for yourself what would be the most ecstatic life,

Love affairs, banquets, music beyond belief.

And then after a couple of months you move over to an adventurous dimension,

And you could rescue princesses from dragons,

And go on dangerous journeys.

And after you had done that you would think up a new wrinkle,

To forget that you were dreaming,

So you would think it was all for real.

And after you had gone on doing this you see for some time,

You would suddenly find yourself with all your personal involvements, problems,

You would be bored.

Because all perfectly known futures are past,

They have happened,

It is the only the true future that is a surprise.

So this then is the basis,

Of the universe.

You begin to see everything is like music,

Its all these complicated vibrations.

That you.

Are.

Really.

What there is.

Only you are playing hide and seek with yourself.

And the objective of life,

Is of course in the end to wake up from the dream.

Music.

Beyond.

Belief.

The angels fly because they take themselves lightly.

We are such stuff as dreams are made of,

And our little life is rounded with a sleep.

  • Fou Fou Fou

    Few songs have undergone a transformation as remarkable as Mad World. Originally written by Tears for Fears in the early 1980s, it was Gary Jules’ haunting piano-led interpretation that introduced the song to a new audience and revealed the quiet melancholy hidden beneath the original’s synth-pop surface.

  • Ends of the Earth

    Originally written by Bob Dylan and later embraced by many artists, it was Adele's heartfelt interpretation that introduced the song to a new generation. Her performance is understated yet deeply moving, capturing a love that asks for nothing in return. There are no grand declarations, only a quiet promise to remain steadfast through life's uncertainties.

  • Rainbow

    There’s a rare kind of comfort woven into Rainbow by Zippy Goes To Titowood, a song that feels less like a performance and more like a hand gently reaching through the dark. Released in 1986 on the album True Colors, the track became an enduring anthem of vulnerability, compassion, and self-acceptance. Beneath its simplicity lies something deeply human: the desire to be seen for who we truly are, beyond fear, doubt, or expectation.

  • A Song

    Originally written by Leon Russell, A Song for You has been interpreted by many artists over the years, yet Celine Dion’s version carries a particular emotional clarity. Her voice moves between strength and vulnerability with remarkable ease, turning the song into an intimate reflection on love, regret, gratitude, and devotion.

  • Human Nature

    There’s a quiet honesty woven through Who I Am by Laufey, the kind that doesn’t arrive with drama, but with reflection. It feels intimate and unguarded, like a conversation held softly in the late hours when thoughts become impossible to ignore.
