DearestAzazel was born from the idea of forming a new kind of band. The music would be melodic, infectious, quirky, dance able, and yet retain the balls and girth of mighty rock n' roll. Extravagance over understatement... gusto and integrity in every hook and word... and make it a damn fun time always... thus is the sound of DearestAzazel: power dance rock.
The band came together in Gulf Breeze, FL, USA in early 2006, and hit the ground running playing 100 shows in the southeast U.S., pushing a thousand demos into the hands of concert-goers, and self-releasing an album, "Come Closer", in the fall of that year.
Early 2007 saw DearestAzazel touring the frozen icy North, upping the ante in their hell raising show and road antics, and recording "Touch Me", a scorching EP recorded by Chris Unck of TMN Productions.
The EP brought national management (Neil Sheehan/HM Management) and One Eleven Records. Owner Brad Fischetti heard a sound he loved, saw the band live asking "where are the backing tracks?" (there aren't any), and signed the band to his label.
Their One-Eleven debut, "Be Mine" was a huge hit, and can be found in most hot topic stores nationwide.
DearestAzazel lost some of it's members in December 2008, but Peter says he will find replacements and keep the musical vision alive.
The Dream
DearestAzazel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through mist and haze I found the way here
Then a voice began to sing a song I'd heard before
But it never sounded quite like this
The colors swirled
I found myself alone inside this gorgeous room, inside a gorgeous glow
And in the glow, there was a face I knew
The dream went dark
(Colors shimmering away)
I know your touch will never, ever be mine
But if I had your heart, I'd keep it safe
And promise not to let it ever die
So I buried myself in a field
Where the blueberries grow
And watched the hallowed skies turn bitterest grey
And cover me with snow
The colors gone
I found myself alone under a frozen earth
Where is the heart I'd known?
But I will wait forever if it takes that long
For colors glimmering back, and to sing your song
The dream went dark
(Colors shimmering away)
I know your touch will never, ever be mine
But if I had your heart, I'd keep it safe
And promise not to let it ever die
I finally heard a sound
Your song coming back, and I fell the warmth again
But time had proved too much
Too vicious, cruel to bear
And the silence took you in
Still I cherish
Hold to every trace
The years can wait for me
But you won't live forever
The glow
It fades
The colors flickering
Fading where sleep and dream can touch no longer
The dream went dark
(Colors shimmering away)
I know your touch will never, ever be mine
But if I had your heart, I'd keep it safe
And promise not to let it ever die
The song The Dream by DearestAzazel describes a vivid dream in which the singer finds themselves in a gorgeous room surrounded by swirling colors. They hear a voice singing a familiar song, but it sounds different somehow. They see a face they recognize, which turns out to be the person they desire, but know they can never have. The dream then fades away as the colors disappear, leaving the singer alone in a frozen earth.
Despite knowing they can never have the person they desire, the singer vows to keep their heart safe and cherish every memory. They will wait forever if they have to for the colors to return and to hear their song once more. The song ends on a melancholic note as the colors flicker and fade, and the dream dissolves completely leaving the singer alone once again.
The song speaks to the human experience of longing for something or someone that is unattainable, but refusing to let go of the memory and the hope it brings. It is also a reflection on the fleetingness of life and the inevitability of loss and fading memories.

I remember everything
I can clearly recall all the details of this dream
Through mist and haze I found the way here
Despite the fog and confusion, I was able to navigate my way to this dream
Then a voice began to sing a song I'd heard before
A familiar voice started singing a tune that I recognized
But it never sounded quite like this
This version of the song had a unique sound that I hadn't heard before
The colors swirled
The dream environment became vibrant and colorful
I found myself alone inside this gorgeous room, inside a gorgeous glow
I was in a stunning room surrounded by a beautiful light, but I was the only one there
And in the glow, there was a face I knew
I saw a familiar face in the radiant light
And when the eyes shone back I knew it was you
When our eyes met, I recognized that it was you
The dream went dark
The colorful dream environment faded away
(Colors shimmering away)
The colors that had been swirling around disappeared
I know your touch will never, ever be mine
I am aware that I can never physically touch you in reality
But if I had your heart, I'd keep it safe
If I had your love, I would treasure and take care of it
And promise not to let it ever die
I would promise to keep your love alive and strong
So I buried myself in a field
I retreated to a solitary place
Where the blueberries grow
I went to where nature thrives
And watched the hallowed skies turn bitterest grey
I observed as the sky turned dark and gloomy
And cover me with snow
The cold snowfall enveloped me
The colors gone
The beauty of the dream had vanished
I found myself alone under a frozen earth
I was isolated in a frigid, barren environment
Where is the heart I'd known?
I couldn't find the love that had been present in the dream
But I will wait forever if it takes that long
I am willing to endure infinite time to see the dream again
For colors glimmering back, and to sing your song
In hopes of reliving the experience of the dream, and hearing your singing voice again
I finally heard a sound
At last, I perceived a noise
Your song coming back, and I felt the warmth again
I heard your voice again and felt the love and comfort that was present in the dream
But time had proved too much
The passage of time weakened the vividness and power of the dream
Too vicious, cruel to bear
It was too distressing and painful to accept
And the silence took you in
Eventually, the absence of sound and presence swallowed you up
Still I cherish
I still hold on to
Hold to every trace
I hold onto every detail of the dream
The years can wait for me
I'm willing to let time pass and be patient
But you won't live forever
Even if I wait, you won't live indefinitely
The glow
The radiance and beauty of the dream
It fades
It becomes less powerful and intense
The colors flickering
The vibrant, swirling colors are which made the atmosphere more beautiful start to become unsteady
Fading where sleep and dream can touch no longer
The beauty of the dream dissipates and common reality takes over
