Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Artist- Empire of the Sun
Song of the day- Walking on a Dream

Every time I have to wake up at 2am to work I am so plagued with the fear of not being able to sleep and future exhaustion that it haunts my musical subconscious and even when I don't mean to I pick a sleep themed song...and here's where you realize this author worries about sleep about 35% of the time and therefore you will probably hear at least 43% of all the songs ever written concerning sleep and dreaming, lucky you.

Though not meaning to revisit today's most excellent song, it also stirs up a secret passion of mine, just between us and anyone who's celebrated Halloween with me. I love painting my face and or ridiculous costumes for no reason and if I was a musician I would totally pull an Empire of the Sun and wear crazy getups for the hell of it cuz nobody asks questions. Alas I realized that a) the music I can play only sub par is folk and, though groundbreaking, folk artists in full cosplay or painted crazy attire may not be well received, at least at the open mics I've attended, and b) costumes and paint may both scare hospital patients and be unsanitary. Thus I will have to live vicariously through Luke Steele and his electronica and leave my costume desires only for my dreams. To all those walking on their weird dreams, this one's for you.




Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Catch me I'm falling down
Catch me I'm falling down

Don't stop just keep going on
I'm your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right 'till first light

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
