I'll keep believing that we're meant to be So deep were the feelings when you were with me So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming my dreams of you and I Things you're in need of I'll get them for you I would not mistreat love You know that it's true So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming my dreams of you and I Once I held you close When we were young Well, heaven knows, Well, love carries on It's never gone So sweetly lives on I'll keep believing that we're meant to be Well, yeah So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming I'll keep believing I'll keep on dreaming my dreams of you and I

about

I wanted to get the Higher Guns into the studio, and here we are. Beautiful.

Initially my idea was to record live at the Park Theatre, but just the logistics of coordinating everyone's schedules and getting a recording crew in was too daunting to do on the day of a show. I had discussed with Jon Plett and Private Ear Recording about a mobile crew coming in, but the idea of getting the guys in the studio to allow more freedom and time won me over.

Dreaming was originally recorded in 2013 with a different group of musicians at Private Ear. I was still very new to the game, but I knew I had to get this song on tape. It featured Karl Shewchuk on upright bass, as well as Sean Polden on Drums. Neil Cameron helmed the console. Very enjoyable experience. Kudos to the guys for great performances and being there at the start.

I have always felt that I could do more with the song. I had a very brief conversation with Don Amero about the original version . "[Dreaming] makes me wanna sit out on a beach and sip on something cool and watch the sun set!" He went on to comment that the production duties, in the right hands, could make for a better recording. That has always stuck with me. Ten years later I believe I've accomplished such a task, with the help of Jon Plett and the inimitable John Paul Peters at Private Ear Recording. With the 2023 version, I'm proud to say I have laid down the best vocal I have ever committed to tape, augmented by the classy and classic tones achieved by the Higher Guns.

Enjoy (on a beach with a cool drink watching the sunset!)
