Don't follow your dreams. Or at least don't follow my dreams. Not literally. And I'll tell you why:

https://soundcloud.com/sam-buttrey/dontfollowyourdreams

It's 2:57, smooth jazz-style but with some idiosyncratic spoken-word bits. I hope you enjoy it.

The style is _SJAZZC2.STY (Smooth Jazz Cool Medium)

RealTracks:
~903:Bass, Electric, SmoothCool Sw16 100
~906:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothCool Sw16 100
1152:Silence [this is the rhythm guitar[
RealDrums: SmoothJazzCoolSw16^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

Solo: Guitar El Sol BosaSloEv85Blz (1989)

Reverb and EQ from my DAW, which is REAPER.

What meds are you on grin

I must say that you have one hell of a sense of humor. This is great. I really enjoyed this one and LOLed a couple of times.

PS - Do not follow your dreams.


Exercise helps you with decision making. It's true. I went for a run this morning and decided I'm never going again!

Oh -- I meant to put the lyrics in.

Let me thank the people that have listened to this. I love this group!

------ lyrics --------------
I dreamed I fell into a pool of snakes
With spiders the size of manhole covers,
And all around was the screaming of pain
And the screech and cackle of Satan's lovers,
There was lava and knives and screaming and
Someone pointing an electric gun
And the demons were chasing me into the dark
And all I could do was run

When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I don't think that's what they intended,
When they say "Make 'em come true,"
I don't think that's what they meant to say,
When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I think they were talking 'bout something different,
Like me and you in a cottage with a view
of the ocean at Monterey.

I dreamed I was in a spaceship
Dressed in a clown suit made of lead,
And I couldn't quite reach the oxygen valve
and everybody else was dead.
I grabbed and pulled on a lever
That turned into a pelican in my hand
And as the capsule twirled I looked down on the world
Thinking "This is not what I planned"

When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I don't think that's what they intended,
When they say "Make 'em come true,"
I don't think that's what they meant to say,
When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I think they were talking 'bout something different,
Like strolling the street and getting something to eat
on a Barcelona day.

I dreamed I was at a party in a
Mansion with a thousand rooms
And I had to find my old roommate
When we heard this, like, sonic boom
And the place was destroyed, there was chaos and noise,
And a tunnel made of human bones,
But I had to get to the airport,
And my cousin had taken my phone.

(chorus)
When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I don't think that's what they intended,
When they say "Make 'em come true,"
I don't think that's what they meant to say,
When they say "Follow your dreams,"
I think they were talking 'bout something different,
Like spending some time with a glass of red wine
in a bar on the Champs-Elysees.
