The band's foundations are really quite self-evident: keep it honest, keep it simple, keep it rockin', and people will respond.
And people have. In just a year together, the band has gone from playing primarily small shows with friends in attendance, to playing packed clubs in major Iowa markets like The Reverb in Waterloo and the Blue Moose Tap House in Iowa City.
In March 2010, Fitzgerald showcased at the Red Gorilla Music Festival in Austin, TX, during the busiest and biggest event in the business, South by Southwest.
Fitzgerald's debut album, Nothing Left But The Leaving, was cut entirely live on the floor at Catamount Recording in Cedar Falls, IA, in just 12 hours. Frontman Matthew Brewer explained the choice to make the album in such a fashion by simply stating, "That's the way all of my favorite albums were made. It's the way almost all of the greatest records in rock n roll were made. It's just the way we cut our teeth."
Fitzgerald is taking a stab at sonic experimentation with their second album. Recording at home in Maynard, rather than in a rented studio space, has freed the band up to try anything and everything they want. There is no timetable for the album's release.
Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Stars fading but I linger on, dear (oh, how you linger on)
Still craving your kiss (how you crave my kiss)
Now I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this (give me a little kiss)
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
Yeah, I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams, dreamin', 'til sunbeams find you
Keep dreaming
Gotta keep dreaming, leave your worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
You've gotta make me a promise (oh yes), promise to me
You'll dream, dream a little dream of me
The song "Dream a little dream of me" by Ella Fitzgerald is about a person who is talking to their lover and asking them to dream of them when they go to sleep. The first stanza is about the beauty of the night and how it can make a person feel loved. The stars are shining bright, the breezes are whispering words of affection, and birds are singing in the trees. The singer is asking their lover to dream of them amid all this beauty while they are alone and feeling blue.
In the second stanza, the singer asks their lover to hold them tight and tell them that they'll miss them. They describe themselves as feeling blue and alone, implying that their lover's love is what they need to feel better. The singer also expresses a desire to linger with their lover until dawn, emphasizing the idea that they want their lover to be with them as much as possible.
The final stanza is a repetition of the second with the inclusion of a promise that the lover will dream of the singer. The song is a beautiful expression of love and the desire to be close to someone even when they are apart.

" Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo "
La brisa de la noche parece susurrar ¨ te amo ¨
Los pájaros cantando en el árbol
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo.
Di ¨ buenas noches ¨ y bésame
Solo abrázame fuerte y dime que me extrañaras
Mientras estoy solo y triste
Sueña un pequeño sueño conmigo.
Las estrellas desvaneciéndose pero me mantengo, querido
Sigo anhelando tu beso
Estoy esperando aguantar hasta el amanecer, querido
Solo digo esto.
Dulces sueños hasta que los rayos de sol de encuentren
Dulces sueños que dejan todas las preocupaciones detrás de ti
Pero en tu sueños lo que sean
Sueña un poco conmigo.

I feel like I was born in a perfect era, I can listen to Ella & Louis, the Beatles, and Brendan Urie and then switch to Eminem, and come back to louis and honestly I'm so happy that music is so diverse and I'm able to listen to so many different things
