The Dream Ends

Description
This is a tune about facing the fact that a dream is over. Sometimes in life, no matter how much we might want something and no matter how much "fate" seems to make your dream seem more like destiny than idle fantasy, reality sometimes shows that it is a case of the latter. That's what this tune is about. I tried to get my acoustic guitar to sound better and more acoustic than electric. Of course I couldn't resist breaking out the strat and letting a little surf kind of a sound in there. Once I did that, I just said f**k it and went for the maximum cheese effect and dropped the pouring rain and thunder sounds in there. They're appropriate- sometimes we all feel that tempest inside and the storms that powerful emotions can unleash. So I guess you could say that this song is just therapy with a guitar. Hopefully it's at least worth a listen. For anyone who's super clever- I insinuated the verse riff of the favorite song of girl that this one is about. You're my hero if you catch it.

caught!
haha you're right! I did post it there as well. The girl's name isn't Felina. There's a running tangerine reference through this whole thing because that's her favorite song. Thanks for listening BTW! :)

In the middle of the storm,
besides the downpour and lightning, the wind and the thunder, there are other things going on that we never notice. The wind blows seeds from the trees and flowers and over time they begin to take root. And a new tree comes to life surrounded by flowers.

So remember, when storm cloud roll into your life, they plant the seeds for something wonderful to grow after the storm has passed.

This is a very nice way to do therapy, and a very cool song.

Be well and be cool,

Very nice song
I really like the guitar, and the strat adds a nice element. Very cool. Can't think of a better way to express a feeling than in a song. Nicely done. Peace.

that feeling...
Well, first, I want to thank you and everyone else for all the kind comments.

In this specific case, I am truly sorry to hear that you are going through a similar circumstance. It is absolutely one of the worst feelings ever. I hope that it all works out, and I'm glad that the tune resonated with you. Think of it like a long distance hug from a total stranger who's feeling the same way. :)

hang in there!!

Um, hmm...
This is some driven, emotional playing. I can see it as something Alannah would have to tinker with. I like the melody too. Well played. Thank you.
