Dream Your Own Dream—Official Music Video

The title song from my new CD. This recording includes unfinished, unreleased and unrealized songs that I gathered together and finished during the pandemic year. As such, the songs come from many periods of my life. This song, Dream Your Own Dream, was written in the mid 1980s for a movie that also never was finished. The movie was set in cold war Soviet Russia and was about a young woman who was feeling crushed by the omnipresent propaganda state and felt her dreams were being monitored and stolen from her. If you want to hear/purchase the whole album, it's living here...

Dream your own dream don't just buy what you're sold
Dream your own dream don't just do what you're told
Free your head you got to shed those TV fantasies
Queer their scheme you know you got to scream
I dream my own dream

Find your own voice don't just echo what you hear
Make your own choice don't give in to lies and fear
The thing to fear is fear itself and greed and jealousy
Queer their scheme you know you got to scream
I dream my own dream

Don't be like the girls in the magazine dream your own dream
Don't be like the boys on the TV screen dream your own dream
Let your spirit shine don't follow the party line
Don't follow the party line

Report your own news don't repeat the doublespeak
Relate your own views when they tell you be quiet that's when you shriek
I'm gonna queer your scheme you're gonna hear me scream
I dream my own I dream my own I dream my own dream
