about

Inspired by the graphical novels by Dave and Liz Lillie, this song was fun to make, and one of the only tracks on the the album that eventually ended up using the Strymon flanger after it was nixed from 'Milkman'.

There have been a number of pieces of music based on Dreamkeepers so I figured it would be fun to throw mine into the ring as well.

I'm particularly pleased with some of the PPG-wave type noises, and the Minimoog sweep at the end, and I think the Pink Floyd-esque shouted section near the end turned out better than I'd expected.

lyrics

DREAMKEEPERS

Another world has a reflection of you
To keep you safe from danger
You won't believe me but I tell you it's true
The truth gets even stranger
For there are beings in a sinister place
Who plan a new invasion
And just a handful of the Dreamkeeper race
Can balance that equation

And when the Nightmare comes they'll be the only ones
With a way to shut the door
And now the evil's come and they are on the run
And they are hiding from the law
Dreamkeepers are real

Dreamkeepers have a magical power
To aid them in their mission
But it's forbidden by the law of the tower
To use without permission
The legends tell about a terrible day
When nightmares came to plunder
Now things are moving in an ominous way
To tear the world asunder

What do you get when your enemy is there for all to see
But no-one will believe you?
What do you get when the highest highs have all been compromised
Don't let the world deceive you

A lonely orphan in a difficult place
The daughters of the ruler
Unlikely heroes for the Dreamkeeper race
The truth gets even cooler
Lord Void is rising and Nabonidus too
Is weak but growing stronger
And if our heroes can't decide what to do
Their world won't last much longer

And when the Nightmare comes they'll be the only ones
With a way to shut the door
And now the Evil's come and they are on the run
And they are hiding from the law
Dreamkeepers are real
