about

I was asked to write a song for a holiday fundraiser this year. My first thought was "That's all we need, another Christmas song" ... honestly I was feeling bit "Scroogey" or "Grinchy" ... just negative about the state of human behavior. With enough silence, eventually words came as a reflection of what I honestly hope for this time of year.

"Winter Dream" was recorded at home to be used of this year's Family Holiday Movie ... if you're interested, it can be viewed here: vimeo.com/897636172

Big thanks to my loving family for making the song a million times better ... and my cousin Ray Shelly for challenging me to write the song.

Peace and Love,
Brian

lyrics

"Winter Dream"

(Verse 1)
There’s a whisper, in the winter wind
Calling me back home

Where the heart can hope
And love is known

Where the world stands still
Where the world stands still

(Verse 2)
There’s silence, in snow falling
Floating flakes, calm the thoughts between

We reflect and heal
Sing songs, a warm meal

And the world stands still
Where the world stands still

(Chorus)
I still dream
There’s a glow in us, unseen
It will break away
Into reality

(Verse 3)
There’s a flame, with a quite sway
Imagining a world, more welcoming

Where we’re seen as one
And war is done

Where the world stands still
Where the world stands still

(Chorus)
