Ocean Colour Scene ~ Half A Dream Away


We're just half a dream away Sitting on our fences Building up defences Making up rules by which we play We're just half way down the road Staking our positions But stupid superstitions Only give fools too heavy a load The magpie screeched and my window is shattered Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered The fireman tried but the hose was frozen The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing We spend half our time away From being where we want to And seeing who it's fun to Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes We spend half a dream away Just looking out of windows Waiting for a signal Waiting for night to return to day The tree was bare but the birds were singing The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching The meat was dead and I need me feeding The room was cold but the night was freezing The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming A church on fire is struck by lightning The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers The princess frowned at her lovers mistress She went insane and poisoned the children A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing We're just half a dream away... more free lyrics

We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences
Building up defences
Making up rules by which we play

We're just half way down the road
Staking our positions
But stupid superstitions
Only give fools too heavy a load

The magpie screeched and my window is shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing

We spend half our time away
From being where we want to
And seeing who it's fun to
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes

We spend half a dream away
Just looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for night to return to day

The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The room was cold but the night was freezing

The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightning
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing

We're just half a dream away...

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
