about

Unwittingly, we seem to have evoked the frevo rhythm from Pernambuco, Brazil with this song, as a listener from Brazil told me. I had no idea but was delighted to hear some of Edu Lobo's versions of this beat. We used a toy piano to get a marimba-like sound which I think worked astoundingly well. It is a tune about the frustrations involved in waking up, forgetting a dream, and especially the dreams about writing the best song ever! Dream melodies trump most of the ones around these annals of the mind!

lyrics

What's the dream, that I keep forgetting? Assuming it's so tremendous, then where in the hell, in my mind, is it sitting? If it kept me asleep too long, then what's the tune of this most confounding song? Do you think this sounds wrong?

And why all these cold sweats that soak through the bedding? What's the cause of this miraculous dream that I can't help but forgetting?
