The World Is Better Dreaming
feat. Chris Taylor
Dedicated to my Mum, Barbara L. Silverman
Dec. 28, 1926 – July 31, 2011
Her place of peace was, and will always be, in her dreams.
Verse 1
Haunted by a whisper
Heavy with the news
Iron gates are closing down
Everything to lose
Verse 2
The cell confides solutions
Secret answers interwound
You’re a soldier in a war zone
A million miles from home
Try not to talk about it
This running out of time
Chorus
The world is better dreaming
Smiling when you’re sleeping
When you’re cold and bleeding
The world, the world is
Better dreaming (Amen)
Better dreaming (Amen)
Verse 3
You will find no shelter
In a valley forged of tears
And when all that you have to turn to
Has been lost, you disappear
It’s hard to talk about it,
You’re running out of time
Chorus
Verse 4
It’s too much to talk about it
When you’re running out of time
Chorus
Song Reflection
My Mum, Barbara, was living a nightmare… except when she was asleep. Her only escape was in her dreams.
When she was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer and given one year to live, everything changed overnight. I felt an urgency to capture what I was feeling in real time, watching her face, something no one should ever have to face, while still trying to find peace within it.
This song came from that place. A place I couldn’t share with her then, but one I needed to find my way to some sense of peace.
