Stephen Day - 'Dreams Tonight'


Nashville-based singer-songwriter Stephen Day candidly explores heartbreak and longing with an upbeat twist on beautiful pop track, ‘Dreams Tonight’.

Stephen Day’s ‘Dreams Tonight’ is an uninhabited confessional that comes from a really pure place of nostalgia and loving simply. It’s a track free from bitterness and bruised egos often associated with separations and disconnection and takes its listener on a beautiful, dreamy journey of hearfelt lyricism and sentimental, melodically pleasing textures.

Day’s soulful tenor is matter of fact and warm, growing into an impassioned cry as he implores, “Do you remember when we fell in love?” desperately trying to hold on to hope. Sonically the track is a piano-led number, that glows with gentle ambient textures before chiming guitars gently flicker in and out of the track like snapshots of fleeting thoughts.

‘Dreams Tonight’ juxtaposes lighter, twinkly tones with weightier percussive textures which adds a turbulent feeling to the track, providing an additional layer of emotion, eventually driving the track into its climax which sees a shift of tempo alongside cathartic, atmospheric vocal fillers.
‘Dreams Tonight’ is an emotionally rich and intimate song that flows with an upbeat fluidity that leaves its listener feeling the bittersweet ache of creating a fantasy out of seemingly hopeless desires.
