Dream of You


Information:
  • As far as we're aware, the first time this song was played live was at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2009.
     
  • Dream of You was written about motherhood for her first child while he was still in the womb. It describes the longing for her first child.

    In a video interview Sharon says:
    "Yeah, I found pregnancy and having children to be massively influential, writing-wise. And in particular, the title track, Dream Of You, was the first song I wrote for the album, and it was written about the bond between myself and my unborn child. And it's just literally exploring the idea that you've never met this person but you have this incredibly strong feeling for them, this incredibly strong need to protect them, and you change everything you do, you change your eating, you change the way you live, you change your whole life to make sure that they're safe inside you. And that really I found incredible, very curious, and very, very interesting. So Dream Of You is about my dream of him."

    In a print interview with Time Out Dubai she summarizes this:
    Question: "Has becoming a mother influenced your songwriting?"
    Sharon: "It certainly has. A track on my album, Dream of You, is inspired by my love for my unborn child - I wrote it when I was pregnant with my son, and it's about the incredible bond with someone you've never met. It made me much more vulnerable so my lyrics are more vulnerable."

  • Sharon wrote this song for her Dream of You solo album.
     


Lyrics:
Sitting on a cloud, but I'm waiting to fall
Buried in the sand, yet I'm ready to crawl

Oh what can it be, between you and me?

Cos I dream of you, and I long for you
All I want is you, oh tell me what to do

Staring at blue sky, but I'm waiting for rain
Floating on a wave, yet I'm ready to drown

Oh what can it be, between you and me?

Cos I dream of you, and I long for you
All I want is you, oh tell me what to do
