Auerbach grew up in a family with musical roots. His second cousin once removed was the late guitarist Robert Quine, an American guitarist known for his innovative guitar solos. Auerbach became infatuated with blues music during his childhood after being exposed to old records by his father. Auerbach often uses an index finger fingerpick along with his thumb to play chords, a technique similar to many earlier blues players.
Formerly of the three piece Akron band The Barnburners from 2000 until 2002, Auerbach formed The Black Keys with drummer Patrick Carney.
Auerbach released a solo album - Keep It Hid - in 2009. Auerbach played most of the instruments on the album, with his cousin James Quine contributing rhythm guitar on two songs and harmony vocals on two more.
Never in My Wildest Dreams
Dan Auerbach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would I be loving you
Never in my wildest dreams
Would my dreams come true
You're just too good to touch
I can't discuss it much
I get too choked up
Never in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams
Would I roam this land
Sail across the seven seas
I'm a hard loved man
But I know where my purpose is
It ain't no some pilgrimage
Its wherever my baby is
My love supreme
Never in my wildest dreams
Walk in the cold cold wind
Carry my laundry bin
Take my recs for a spin
Watch daytime tv
You're just too good to touch
And I can't discuss it much
I get too choked up
Don't wanna make a scene
Never in my wildest dreams
The opening lines of the song āNever in my wildest dreams, would I be loving youā express a sense of disbelief that the singer could be in love with someone so deeply. He is surprised by the fact that his dreams have come true and he is finally able to love someone in a way that he never imagined he could. However, he seems to be overwhelmed by the intensity of his feelings and he struggles to express his emotions. The line āYou're just too good to touch, I can't discuss it muchā suggests that he is intimidated by the object of his affection, and he is careful not to say or do anything that might scare her away.
Later in the song, the singer talks about his sense of purpose and how he is willing to travel across the world to find it. However, as he says āit ain't no some pilgrimage, it's wherever my baby is,ā he reveals that his true purpose is love. He is willing to give up everything else to be with the woman he loves. The final verse is quite poignant as the singer describes normal, everyday tasks and activities. He has found happiness in small things, like watching TV and doing his laundry, because he is so happy to be with the person he loves.
Overall, āNever in my wildest dreamsā is a song about the transformative power of love. The singer is surprised by the intensity of his emotions, but he knows that he has found his purpose in life through the love he shares with his partner. The song expresses a sense of wonder and gratitude for the way that love can change our lives in unexpected ways.
