about
Golden Dream’ investigates the societal dreams we collectively hold - celebrity, success, purpose. To me, the dream of California holds so much of that - the glamour, the promise, the ‘ideal life’. This song pulls back the veil and speaks of the unspeakables behind those sunny images. ⠀

lyrics
Orange blossoms grow
On every street corner
In California
Motels off of the freeway
For divorcees and runaways
Checking in with fake names
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everything as perfect as it seems
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everyone as happy as they seem
In California
Yellow hills of sunshine
Houses famous for their crimes
Evenings of lust, and spilled wine
Cruel winds from the desert
Cut through the streets like a knife’s edge
Filling the air with smoke and dread
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everything as perfect as it seems
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everyone as happy as they seem
In California
On every street corner
In California
Motels off of the freeway
For divorcees and runaways
Checking in with fake names
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everything as perfect as it seems
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everyone as happy as they seem
In California
Yellow hills of sunshine
Houses famous for their crimes
Evenings of lust, and spilled wine
Cruel winds from the desert
Cut through the streets like a knife’s edge
Filling the air with smoke and dread
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everything as perfect as it seems
I’m a dreamer of the golden dream
Is everyone as happy as they seem
In California
