about
“She’s Like A Dream” began life as a phone recording of some piano chords, while Lucy told a story. This voice note then transformed into its current form, a noisy, trippy, sexy groove that relentlessly throbs until it abruptly cuts itself short.
Through the myriad of edits and sampling Wroe’s voice is peppered throughout, even before she begins to sing of infatuation, obsession, and adoration.
Lucy says “when I wrote it I was kind of imagining watching somebody, being in a room with that person you’re obsessing over, and watching them glow. Like when you’re in the middle of your first teenage romance, and you feel like an idiot because you can’t get your words out. Kind of how I imagine being a guy in school, walking up to these super confident girls, and being beaten down repeatedly because they have no idea how much you idolised them”
Tom says “I’m incredibly, uncomfortably familiar with everything Lucy is describing, so this idea directly fed the continued production of the track, the way it moves and pulses, there's much more of a physicality to anything I’ve produced previously. I was listening to quite a bit of Beach House and Toro Y Moi while I was making it, I wanted to capture a dreamy quality that those artists seem to effortlessly create”
Featuring drums, piano (played by Philipp Koerver of German indie band Rooftalk), and double bass recorded on a phone, and guitars, keyboards and a variety of percussion instruments and mouth noises recorded at Tom’s home studio, “She’s Like A Dream” creates a layered, rolling sonic landscape to get lost in.
lyrics
[LYRICS]
All the right words come to me when I
think about her
How my body cries
when I see her light
Tongue tied cause my words are worth
Nothing around her
I don't know why
All I really know is
She's like a dream
She's like a dream I had
She's like a dream
Kinda hoping no one ever turns the light on
Now I see the world through your perfect lense
How'd you bury me knee deep inside the
back of your mind so far
I don't know when
All I really know is
She's like a dream
She's like a dream I had
She's like a dream
She's like a dream I had
She's like a dream
She's like a dream I had
She's like a dream
