about
This song’s a doozy. If I could encapsulate every raw emotion about me striving and yearning for my passion as an artist, and any dreams and ambitions I’ve had, this song is has it all. I am singing directly to ‘my ambition’. I speak to it as if it’s a real person. It has come true at times, and others it has not. It’s nebulous. I get a taste of success, but then it disappears. It’s my intangible dream. And quite frankly, I bet many of you out there who are artists or who have creative ambitions, will relate to this song. You see, I’ve always known who I was going to be. I always wanted to be an artist. Sometimes it’s changed its disguise from visual art, writing, acting, singing or songwriting, but ultimately it’s being a performer and I have a high bar on excellence for myself: probably too much. And this journey has also been hard: what a tumultuous ride. So, this song speaks to my love/hate relationship to my dream: my ambition. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have it. But then, really, I would be nothing without it.
lyrics
Intangible
V1:
Wasn’t it yesterday I knew you, and I have struggled with you my whole life
Wasn’t it yesterday I lost you, and I was searching for you every night
Pre Chorus:
In my dreams, through my fears, I’ve been searching through my tears
Why’s it so, you come and go? Such an intangible dream…
Chorus:
IN AND OUT, HERE AND THERE
I WANT YOU SO BUT YOU’RE NEVER CLEAR
SCREAM AND SHOUT ‘IT’S NOT FAIR’
I GET A TASTE OF YOU, YOU DISAPPEAR, MY INTANGIBLE…
DREAM
V2
This is the price I pay for laziness, or just not getting on with it.
Maybe I’m scared of what you think; Maybe I fear that I won’t succeed
In this world, so cruel, and I don’t follow the rules
Why’s it so, you come and go my impossible dream
Chorus
Bridge:
Dream,… and I thought I knew you well, and I thought I had you…
Felt you… deserved you, God I created you…. I hate you…
Chorus
