Written by Committee

from Dreams by Ham Sandwich Quantum Party

about

This rhyme was in my head for about a week before it found a home!

As a fairly new entrant into the third decade of my life, I feel a bit like I'm finally getting a few things nailed down. Still, sometimes you just need a coming of age song with synthesizers.

That bass sound is a combination of a heavily distorted saw wave and some octaved piano, and like usual it was the first element that got laid down.

lyrics

There are dreams we share, and ones we don't
But the ones I have are the ones I won't
Too many people want too many things
Now I'm finding my voice, and ready to sing

--

Dreams aren't always pretty, when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew
Dreamin' for tomorrow for the strength that I must borrow
So let's write a little dream just for two

Let's write a little dream for two
Let's write a little dream just me and you
Dreams aren't always pretty, when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew

--

The grass is high, and the prairie is wild
You've felt it in your bones, since you were but a child
Find your own way, through the rising din
Maybe with some luck and some time, you'll fit in

--

Dreams aren't always pretty when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew
Dreamin' for tomorrow for the strength that I must borrow
So let's write a little dream just for two

Let's write a little dream for two
Let's write a little dream just me and you
Dreams aren't always pretty when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew

--

Dreams aren't always pretty, when they're written by committee
Strike them from the page, and start anew

--

Dreams aren't always pretty when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew
Dreamin' for tomorrow for the strength that I must borrow
So let's write a little dream just for two

Let's write a little dream for two
Let's write a little dream just me and you
Dreams aren't always pretty when they're written by committee
So I strike them from the page and start anew
