Sometimes melodies just get poured into my head (from somewhere). This one appeared a few months ago and "called me" so I wrote it the way it hit me. Hope you enjoy, AND I really appreciate your feedback so much. This is an amazing forum!! Take care. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/dreamlovemasterDREAM LOVE Dream love Shining down upon us like the warmth of the sun Extreme love The time is now upon us for the healing to come Let the souls renew, heal the wounds of division Let the pain come undone Supreme love Open up your hearts toward the one Deny the darker voice Reject the shadows for the light Find the light Let your heart rejoice The healing angels are in sight Dream love The arms of God embracing every soul on this earth Extreme love The spirit child is gracing us, a means of rebirth Find your own true dance, dance to the rhythm now of God’s beating heart Supreme love Join us now that we may never part Deny the darker voice…

Greg, You really have channeled the Beatles here. That's a really strong melody. Love the vocal as always -wonderful instrumentation and arrangement. Incredibly impressive. (I'd probably get rid of the intro clicks..  ) Peter

Great melody, arrangement, performance and production. Your vocals are always so easy to listen to. This was a perfect melody match for your vocals. Enjoyed this a lot.

Beautiful moody song, excellent arrangement and vocals, the Beatles and John Lennon have to be mentioned here Could you put the BIAB information, I could use some of the instruments on my Lennonish song Janne

Hi Greg,
It's always a treat for the rest of us when you show up with your great music. As mentioned previously, this very much has a Lennon sound to it - more so John Lennon than the Beatles as a whole.
Fabulous vocal. the arrangement is superb as is the mix. Love the song and the message. Your vocal just makes it that much more enjoyable. Fabulous song and performance.
Wishing you the very best,
Alan

Nice work, Greg As others said, this is definitely reminiscent of The Beatles! I really loved the effects on the vocals here. They helped breathe life into the performance, and really gave the tune a certain vibe I don't often hear on the forums here. Overall, it's just an example of a well written and well thought out song. You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Greg,
Yes, the best melody John never wrote and a fine vocal to make it soar!
Very nice simple arrangement - especially that phased? guitar.
Your muse really came through on this one.

It is amazing the quality that is hitting this forum lately!
Like Kenny's latest, EVERYTHING about this is STELLAR!
The opening is SO nicely put together. The beginning guitars are like nothing we've heard before, the addition of the strings and then THOSE DURMS!! Awesome. Excellent arrangement throughout. The return to simple guitars between verses was superb! All a perfect bed for the vocal...
And what a vocal! Gorgeous.
A stunningly beautiful write. I love the way you use words. A melody to die for.
Have to say again... This is about as good as it gets.
WOW.

This is by far one of my favorite things from you.
It is also one of my favorite things on the forum.
This is a masterpiece. I see other have mentioned the Beatles. I would narrow it down even further to John Lennon. Not just sounding like John Lennon. I mean channeling John Lennon. Spooky.
Drums are fantastic. Is that you playing the guitar?
Are you going to keep us guessing on the real tracks and production. I wanna know how you did this.
Awesome Greg.

Mr. Johnson:
The spiritual sincerity of your lyrics for "Dream Love" combined with the dreamy, quietly mesmerizing mood of your music sent the song into my heart like a hospital ship searching for lost souls.
Your singing voice fully embraces and projects the guiding, hopeful light shining from your lyrics. "Dream Love" could be a "go-to" song for anyone attempting to "deny the darker voice".
"Dream Love" is memorable, inspiring, and touched with beauty of sound and substance, Mr. Johnson.
LOREN
P.S. Now, I understand why you always close your "User's Forum" posts with the words, "take care"!

Well, since folks are mentioning who it reminds them of..... For us it’s like John singing a Paul write with a Pet Sounds mystique...or something like that Your tendency toward positivity is always welcome and this certainly does not disappoint with the perfect vocal and arrangement to carry the message. Well done! J&B

Nice one.
I agree... this is the missing Beatles track from their Sgt Pepper album.
Nice write too.
Everything about this is very good.

WOW Greg!! What a great tune!! As others have mentioned, it's very Beatlesque! Puts me very much in mind of Lennon's "Dear Prudence" , but truly stands on it's own! You have been producing some very good stuff lately and I am much impressed with your skills! Keep on rockin' Take care, Torrey

Well, this is simply fantastic. Simple as that!
So many mentioned the Beatles and Lennon, and rightly so.
I'd say that this song actually reminded me of "Free as a bird", which is Lennon / Beatles produced by Jeff Lynne. And indeed, the sound of your voice reminds me of Jeff Lynne a bit, but the melody is totally Lennon.
Anyway, this was a great listen. A real pearl.

Well... it hit you in a very cool way indeed! The chord progression is awesome, so is the melody you sing (which is perfectly sung as always  ) Now we're going to sit and wait until we get a certain hit too  Rob and Anne-Marie

Great arrangement and performance.
Excellent guitar solo in the final.

Beautiful moody song, excellent arrangement and vocals, the Beatles and John Lennon have to be mentioned here Could you put the BIAB information, I could use some of the instruments on my Lennonish song Janne Better late than never: The RTs are: Bass--1827 Gtr strum--676 Drums--Rock Brit vibe 8ths Synth pad--1543 Gtr elec rhythm--680 Gtr high strung Ac--1765 Gtr solo--1168 (I LOVE BRENT) Gtr dreamy--2448 (STILL LOVE BRENT!) I used CLA guitars (Waves on the solo gtr), and Izotope on drums and most other tracks plus mastering. Hope this helps. Take care. Greg Thanks Greg, very nice selection of RTs, that solo Brent really fits this kind of slow ballads. Janne

Hello, Greg
Really good melody with the characteristic chord progression!
Also very nice and pleasant vocal.
As Peter said, you really have channeled the Beatles here.
And as Rob said, what a great vocal range you show us here.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks so much Shigeki! Very much appreciate your kind words (and your great music!) Take care. Greg

Very few of us here can post a performance as well crafted as this is. It does have a Beatlesque feel that pulls in the listener and doesn't let go. Just beautiful! Among your very best, Tom

Well, since folks are mentioning who it reminds them of..... For us it’s like John singing a Paul write with a Pet Sounds mystique...or something like that Your tendency toward positivity is always welcome and this certainly does not disappoint with the perfect vocal and arrangement to carry the message. Well done! J&B J&B, your support and kind words are always deeply appreciated!! Who wouldn't be flattered by those comparisons? Take care. Greg

Nice one.
I agree... this is the missing Beatles track from their Sgt Pepper album.
Nice write too.
Everything about this is very good. Thanks Herb! In my book, that's about the greatest compliment a person can get. Really loved your Xmas guitar instrumental! Take care. Greg

WOW Greg!! What a great tune!! As others have mentioned, it's very Beatlesque! Puts me very much in mind of Lennon's "Dear Prudence" , but truly stands on it's own! You have been producing some very good stuff lately and I am much impressed with your skills! Keep on rockin' Take care, Torrey Thanks Torrey! You're right, it does have kind of the Dear Prudence vibe. Love what you've been posting! Take care. Greg

hello Greg Johnson
this is so beatle worthy... nice vocals... so beautiful! That was my immediate vibe too, 70's Harrison or Lennon are just swimming all over this one - Not a shabby company to be in 
There's only one thing to do in crisis like this - Sleep on it!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
