But here comes the sleeper (original song)

I really poured my heart into this song. It's about grieving the fact that we as humans are not truly free, but also about the power of our dreams, hopes and passions. Its about the sleeper, who becomes the dreamer in the process of the song, realizing not all is lost. Just because we do not have any wings, doesn't mean we don't get to fly as well :)

Every single sound you can hear in this song was made and/or recorded by me.

Funfact: The bird you can hear in the recording is in tune with the guitar - completely by coincidence! (pretty awesome, huh!)
Funfact no.2: The vocals were recorded in one single, continuous take! (not the very first take tho haha ;D)


Lyrics:

Oh to be free like the bird in the night
Wait just a second before I take flight

Oh to hop around in the snow
Like a crow
Show the universe
Shine like the stars in the night
Sit in a tree
Wait just a second before I take flight

But here
comes the sleeper
Here
We lay in the grass
Dreaming of greater things
Bound to walk the earth
Cursed to live
Without my wings
Here comes the sleeper

Oh to be joyful
Oh to be joyful and light
Smile like the sun, just as bright
Glow like the moon
Don't sleep through the night
Change will come soon
Will you take flight?

Here comes the sleeper
Closed eyes
Pockets empty
Here comes the dreamer
Full of loss
Full of hope
And feathers grow
Like wind they flow
Hold onto me
As I shall be
And feathers grow
Like wind they flow
Hold onto me
As I shall be free
Shall be free
Shall be free
Shall
be
free
