Taken By Trees is releasing a new album titled Other Worlds on October 2 via Secretly Canadian. “Dreams” is the first piece of music to be heard from it.
If you don’t know Taken By Trees, you should. It’s the project of Victoria Bergsman, the same Victoria featured on this song. She continues lending her spark to feel good melodies, staying true to the sound that a trip to the Hawaiian islands influenced.
Download “Dreams” via NPR. Also check out what Victoria had to say about “Dreams” right below the mp3.
[mp3]: Taken By Trees – Dreams
I hardly remember my dreams these days. Sometimes, if I am lucky and I wake up very late, I find a thin film of another time or another life. I try so desperately capture this residue of a dream that it quickly fades.
But the kind of dream I am referring to in this song is more like a sense of longing, a vision of a place where things are quiet, like floating in the ocean off of Hawaii. I find that very hard, feeling at peace, feeling that things are OK just as they are. In the past I always feared that calm would lead to laziness, but now I see it more as a strength, something I want to achieve. The album is very much about that … and about finding love. It’s a feel good album.
“Dreams” is available to pre-order as a 7″ right here.
