Living The Dream (vocal version)

[Emjay]

Hi guys... You know I love to use my effects; well this one’s no exception.

This song is about how we go on, living our lives, regardless of weather someone is plotting some sinister event somewhere in the world. How we strive to be seen to be living the dream and how that dream could easily become a nightmare.

Lyrics...


How ya goin mate
Livin the dream

Yeah
Livin the dream

I like how one persons dream
Is now everyone’s nightmare

I turn on my TV
For a dose of reality
As movies made in Hollywood
Get acted out on the street
Where the ghosts of the real world
Still quietly sleep

Our Politicians

They play on fences
Not taking sides
They would rather
Run and hide
Than stay and fight

But

There is a voice
Softly spoken
Commanding
Sleeping
Cells be woken

How ya goin….

I like how just this one persons dream
Is now everyone’s nightmare

In order for peace
The Commander and Chief
Must declare a holy war
So we can live the dream
The way it was meant to be
And hear the screams no more.

Now we’re getting some action
As we’re splitting into factions
Right wing left wing
What ever gives you satisfaction?
It’s time for taking sides
The further out you are
The more extreme the ride

And just like how did one persons dream
Become everyone’s nightmare

How ya goin…

[Emjay]

Thanks Das... I really appreciate the listen. Futuristic is good.

[Emjay]

[camo]

This one, whew, is really deep. I think it captures the angst that a lot of folks are feeling these days. Lots of truth in those lyrics. Not only well done, but well thought out. Awesome job!

[Emjay]

Hi Camo... Thanks for the listen man.... Yeah this is like nothing I've done before... I did sit and stew on this for a while and took my time with the mixing of each track. Thanks for the listen man.... I'm glad you felt the depth, of where I was coming from. Cheers mate. 

[Rod]

wow, this is so cool,  this is amazing how you produced this,  put this on youtube!!!

[Emjay]

Hi Rod... Appreciate the feed back mate... I've been thinking about you suggestion mate... I've never done a vid before but I do have a good idea for this but Like other ideas I've had for videos, I'd have to have the whole production crew involved,  it'd be this big production, everyone would want to be involved... lol. Maybe one day bro. 

[Dave H]

[Kenton]

This is awesome!!! Super creative.. I don't think I've ever heard a song like this before

[Emjay]

Hey Dave, Kenton.... Thanks for the listen guys... Glad you like it. 

[HdBanger]

This was really cool.   

I liked it very much. I always think about creating something special, but I haven't succeeded in it yet. You definitely have! 

I'm gonna search for that buddhist chant again, that I have been trying to incorporate into a song for so long ...

Great job Emjay!
