Feb 2022 acoustic song dreamer collaboration
Thank you so much, Kristi and Michelle for your amazing collaboration. I love Kristi's lyrics and Michelle's melodies and vocals.
LITTLE DREAMER
Do you see it
The streak of light
It’s coming toward you
In the middle of the night
Try to catch it
In your little arms
It’ll bring good fortune
It’ll be your lucky charm
[ch]
Oh little dreamer
You must start young
Make your wishes
Create some fun
Oh little dreamer
In the quiet of night
Play with the stars
Before they lose their light
Look for Venus
And maybe Saturn
Sing with new friends
Listen to all their chatter
Remember the moon
The real conductor
Bringing hope and change
To a night of wonder
[ch]
Oh little dreamer
You must start young
Make your wishes
Create some fun
Oh little dreamer
In the quiet of night
Play with the stars
Before they lose their light
[br]
Like the sun every morning
I’m always here
But you can go anywhere
In the wild frontier
Repeat ch

Ahhh this is beautiful and made me think of my granddaughter who certainly is a little dreamer :)

This is truly inspired. Each part of the collaboration comes together like a lake from three streams. Perfectly. I especially love the chorus. It just melts me.

If there is ever a musical about the life of a famous astronomer this would be the song that covered their childhood and explained their passion for astronomy.
Felicitats from Catalunya - a great job you three creators.

I like the harmonies you've used, Nadia,. A gentle, slightly serious lyric with a soaring vocal. Well done all three of you. "

To a night of wonder" just magic. Some years ago, alone at night halfway up the Strzelecki Track, i realised I could no longer see the stars clearly because of deteriorating eyesight (now restored, no sympathy needed) and realised how important the childhood stars were. This captures that importance,

Wow, there are some truly gorgeous melodic moments in this piece. It's so hopeful yet it's the moments when a little darkness penetrates that knock me off my feet. The second line of each verse stanza was really moving, as was the second line of each chorus. The sweeping finale on "quiet of the night" also swept me off my feet. Just an incredible melody/piano combo.
And that's before getting into Michelle's brilliant singing and Kristi's stellar lyric. You guys hit this one out of the park. Way out.

Beautiful music coupled with tender, empathetic words and absolutely soaring vocals; just lovely all around.

Great team. Nadias piano playing is so full of emotion and these vocals are a delight. Especially these high notes. Lyrics wonderfully crafted.

Wonderful collaboration! It's so dreamy and bright and beautifully performed. I love the line "play with the start before they lose their light"
