Here's a song about a cultural revolution. It's happening - and despite previous doubts, it is being televised!

I filmed myself singing this song live with electric guitar and vocal and then added percussion and bass. Then I added piano and more vocals until it felt right. Hope you enjoy it :-)

Hybrid live/recorded at Wishing Well Studio by A. Cadie

--Dare to Dream --- lyrics (c) Andrew Cadie 2022
They will walk with you
Through places where they grew
Shifting shades and shapes
For memories to remake

Oh I dared to dream
Gripping on the seam

You can fly high and I can lay low now
You can fly high and I…

They televised it all
The unsurprising fall
Put it in a frame
The revolution’s name

Oh I dared to dream
Gripping on the seam

You can fly high and I can lay low now
You can fly high and I… x2

And as the dust floats down
On the embers of this town
Do we build it up the same
Or turn and change the game?

Oh I stand and stare
The mirrors glint and glare
No need for defeat
In the place where we all meet

You can fly high and I can lay low now
You can fly high and I… x2
