Dreamcatcher

Liner Notes

#alternativerock #powerpop

We wanted to write a rowdy power pop song and this is the result. It started with the riff, which developed as we went along. My amp needs new valves which meant the trashy guitar tone comes from a cheap solid state I bought for £30 in Penzance.

The tale is based around a tour guide lured into the glamour of life as a hippie. And in particular a sweet smelling lady who wears a dreamcatcher around her waist.

The sample at the start of the song is from the American comedian David Drake (@daviddrakecomedy), a snippet of his stand up that was served up as we were writing the song and fit the vibe…

Lyrics

Verse 1
Picture yourself on an open top bus guided tour
I’ve never seen such a sweet smelling hippie before
Whatever they put in these cakes I don’t know but it’s strong

Verse 2

Is it hot in here or should I maybe loosen my tie
I’ll Hand in my notice right now and join their happy tribe
Whatever they put in these drinks I don’t know but I’m gone (whoooooooo yeah)

Chorus
She wore a dreamcatcher
She wore a dreamcatcher
She wore a dreamcatcher
I want a dreamcatcher

Post chorus

One look and I’m done
Basking in the sun
Holding out for fun
But just reads my palm
She only interested in reading my palm

Verse 3

Imagine it’s your first time travelling around on your own
Letting your freak flag fly high clothes are coming undone
Whatever they put in this pipe I don’t know but it’s strong
Oooooohhh yeah

Double chorus

She wore a dreamcatcher
She wore a dreamcatcher
I took her dreamcatcher
I wear a dreamcatcher

Post chorus

Inhibitions are sunk
Poppin off in my bunk
She’s got me in a trance
But now she’s left for France
