I had a few lines left over from the last assignment so I thought
Id put some of them together for this one. This is not really a serious song. (BTW ‘ennui' is pronounced ‘on wee' )

Dreams Die Hard (The Celt)

Verse 1
Indifferent heart
You let me down
You dream but not for me
I feel that we have things to share
It seems you feel ennui

Verse 2
In different times
I shared your dream
You set my spirit free
I feel its time to end the dream
It seems you feel ennui

Chorus
But dreams die hard
You know they do
These times I think of you
And while you're gone
Remember this
I only dream of you

Verse 3
So wake up now
Get out of bed
It's off to work for you
And while you're gone
Remember this
I only dream of you

Pbee,

Nice Job, I like what you did with this title.

The Chorus is exceptional.

You took it to an entirely different place than I was thinking of.
Of course that seems to be the norm for these assignments
so I should have expected it.

My idea was for it to be about a person who's "dreams" of
fame and fortune eluded him But you made it more personal.

Hey thanks you guys,

I wasnt really going to do anything with this :oops:, the last verse is a little bit "toungue in cheek" really, where it turns out that the dream he wants to end is the fact that shes asleep and has to get up go to work while he sleeps in. And hes teasing her that he'll be lying there thinking of her while shes at work (yeah right). I think I would redo that verse if I was going to do anything with this song.

Thanks Celt for the encouragement on the chorus, it was a good title to work with, in as much as there were plenty of places you could have taken it.
