In the autumn of 2001 Christopher Sander gathered a bunch of friends to join Chasing Dorotea, started playing live in Sweden and, most importantly, recorded this wonderful self titled album.
Some people have compared him to Nick Drake, Red House Painters and Belle & Sebastian. And Christopher Sander certainly has the same obvious talent for letting emotions go straight from guitar and vocals to heart of the listener. Expect this songwriter to stick around for a good time."

Chasing Dorotea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could have a growing hole inside of me.
I spent the afternoons after school in a bubble
Dreaming about becoming a footballer.
Yeah you know (Yeah you know)
How it goes.
Yeah you know, you know, you know, you know
When you're a dreaming boy
When I was a boy I never thought I find
Hollow thinking in people.
I see them in the street passing by as they swim through
whatever stream is the current way.
Yeah you know (Yeah you know)
How it goes.
Yeah you know, you know, you know, you know
How it goes.
When you're a dreaming boy
When I was a boy I always thought I'd hold
the hand of a beautiful princess.
I spent late winter nights with my friends around the schoolyard
drinking my first bottles of cheap wine.
Yeah you know (Yeah you know)
How it goes.
Yeah you know, you know, you know, you know
How it goes.
When you're a dreaming boy
When you're a dreaming boy
When you're a dreaming boy
When you're a dreaming boy
The lyrics in the song Dreamer by Chasing Dorotea evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. The singer reflects on their childhood and the dreams they had as a young boy. The first stanza talks about how the singer had a carefree attitude as a child, spending their afternoons dreaming of becoming a footballer. However, as they grew up they began to realize that they were not invincible and that they too could have vulnerabilities. The second stanza talks about how the singer's perception of people began to change as they became more aware of the world around them. They realized that everyone has their own issues and struggles, which in turn, caused the singer to become more introspective. Finally, the third stanza talks about the singer's romanticized view of love as a child, where they imagined they would someday find and hold the hand of a beautiful princess. However, as they grew older, they realized that love isn't always so simple and idealistic.
Overall, the song is about growing up and realizing that the world is not as simple and perfect as it appears to be in childhood. It's about accepting one's own imperfections and understanding that everyone has struggles. The lyrics are easily relatable to anyone who has gone through the process of growing up and undergoing the transformation from a carefree child to a more realistic adult.

Lyrics🎧
You think I'm pretty without any makeup on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, yeah, come down
Before you met me
Yeah, I was alright, but things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life, now every February
Yeah, you'll be my valentine, valentine
So let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
Yeah, we can dance until we die
You and I will be young forever
'Cause you make me
Feel like I'm living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back, ever look back, oh
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back, ever look back, oh
We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
And I'ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me, in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Oh, 'cause you make me
Feel like I'm living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back, ever look back, oh
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back, ever look back, oh
