Hello everyone,

I took a break from the forum for a few weeks, but not to do nothing. They were very busy days actually.
For some days now I am listening to songs I missed on this forum when I was away.
And that were a lot of songs. From what I heard so far, all are very good/ entertaining too!

And here I am with my first song of this year: I am a dreamer, https://on.soundcloud.com/qULqd

I also made a videoclip on the song (my 3rd video ever). Watch on YouTube:

The story is about a guy who was really bummed after a breakup. Now, he's working on himself and things are getting a bit better, but he's still flying solo. However, there's a feeling that something new and exciting might be on the way for him. The guy I had in mind was my son (but don't tell him I told you...).

I made the original song a year ago, well... I actually made 6 versions of it. 3 of them were never released. This is one of them. But I changed and rearranged so much, that it became a totally new song. Marty gave me advice on everything and also told me to ask Dave for the solo part. I did and Dave was happy to help me with it. And, of course, I was happy with them!
The lyrics can be found in the video or on the SC-page.

I hope you like it, but don't hesitate to tell me what could be improved, or otherwise.
Hans
