about

The song is a curious and playful track featuring Kate’s stunning vocals, wide-ranging harmonies, handclaps, and pizzicato cello played on keys, which together produce a dreamy feel-good glacial anthem full of optimism.

“There’s a story by Borges called ‘The Circular Ruins’,” says Guy introducing the inspirations behind the song. “It’s about a sorcerer who, through intense, focussed meditation, manages to create a companion - a son - by literally dreaming him into life. In the process the sorcerer discovers that he, too, has been dreamt into life by someone else.


lyrics

Dream her to life

The time is ripe
The air is petrified
I wake to light
Walk barefoot into fire

Hmmmm

I will dream her to life
I will sing her to life
Dream her to life tonight

I will dream her to life
I will bring her to life
Who will be the dreamer of me?

The earth will yield
Confetti will dress the field
I’ll spin the wheel
Throw pollen and parachute seeds.

I will dream her to life
I will sing her to life
Dream her to life tonight

I will dream her to life
I will bring her to life
Who will be the dreamer of me?
