Mitchel Emms | "Dreaming Awake" (official audio / visualizer)

Описание: My song "Dreaming Awake", the final single from my new album "Euphoric Melancholy" out 26th September 2025.

This song started life out as a jam session after a long period of writers block during the pandemic of 2020, and quickly became the genesis for my new album "Euphoric Melancholy". This song was the starting point for all the new music I've released and made in the spirit of breaking my own rules when it comes to writing songs.

I wrote this as I was fast approaching the end of my 20's, and in many ways this song and the album as a whole is an exploration of the personal journey I went on in that decade of my life and what it means to be a person in this day and age.

I'm thrilled that after many years, this epic piece is finally seeing the light of day and the album is being released into the world.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.

All my love to those giving my music a listen x

LYRICS:

Didn't wanna show you how I'm feeling
But I have to start today
Didn't wanna risk believing
But I have to start today
With all of the things that we've been through
and all of the fear in our eyes
past lives and mistakes
how we gave ourselves away
I have to start, I have to start today...

Didn't wanna clear out the skeletons
Afraid to show you my world
I didn't wanna tell you how I almost gave it up
but I have to start, I have to start today

So what if I air out my thoughts
So what if I reach for the stars
So what if I share my soul out for all to see?
I have to start, I have to start today

Because life is suffering
and time waits for no one
You and I are so impermanent
And the light is so out of reach
You and I with hopes and dreams
In this everlasting night

Business is business as usual
You can't afford to step out today
Dreaming awake in a melancholy way
Your past and your future's the same
But this is now
Lost and found
This dying light
I have to start today

Because life is suffering
and time waits for no one
You and I are so impermanent
And the light is so out of reach
You and I with hopes and dreams
I must find my way
Out from this everlasting night

I'm dreaming awake
I'm fading away...

It all seems to strange
Dreaming awake
To turn my night into day
With blood on the page
I'm lost in a daze
Turn my night into day
What's lost can't be found
In memory I am bound
But I have to find my way
