Dreamsville
Brad Mehldau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding you
A dreamy ville
Just we two alone with love
In Dreamsville
Time is new
We're here to love
We can see the rest of the world
Below us
From our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring
Hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away
And here we love
Here we'll stay
The lyrics of Brad Mehldau's Dreamsville capture the essence of being in a dream-like state, where time seems to stand still and one is lost in a blissful moment with a loved one. The song speaks of being in this magical place, where there are no boundaries or limitations, and love is the only thing that truly matters. The opening line, "I'm in Dreamsville," sets the tone for the dream-like quality of the song, and the lyrics that follow paint a picture of two people lost in a world of their own.
The line "A dreamy ville, just we two alone with love" emphasizes the idea that in this place called Dreamsville, there is no one else but the two lovers. The lyrics "Time is new, we're here to love and we do" further reinforces the idea that time stands still in this magical place. The imagery of the "pink cloud" that the lovers are on creates a sense of other-worldliness and surreal beauty.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of being lost in this dream-like world with the one you love. The final line "Far away and here we love, here we'll stay" highlights the idea that this place is far away from reality but is also where the lovers want to stay forever. The song's lyrics are simple, yet they manage to convey the beauty and wonder of being in a blissful moment of love.
