1. Multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter Georgia Barnes. Born and raised in a deeply musical household in north west London, Georgia combined music study at London's SOAS with a stint working on the counter at Rough Trade and quickly made a lot of very natural musical connections, being invited to play drums with DIY innovators such as Kwes and Kate Tempest. Georgia herself is a warm, compelling, malleable voice as believable a sensual soul-bearer as she is raucous provocateur.

2. The band Georgia has steadily created a loyal fanbase over the last few years. Comprised of three brothers and a close friend all from the south, they are currently signed with Atlantic Records. They released an EP called the Cabin Sessions Vol. 1, which was recorded live in 2007 while at a log cabin in Blue Ridge, Ga. They have since been working on their first full studio album, recording in LA. More information can be found at www.myspace.com/georgia or www.georgia.sunrise-promotions.com.

3. A trance artist: Georgia is a female DJ / producer from Dutch harbour city Rotterdam. As of March 2008, she has two releases. Her first production was a track called 'We Rise', co-produced with 'Stimulator'. This was released in December 2007 along with a dub mix by her from the 'Flashover Recordings' label. Her second production 'Ode to '99' was released in March 2008 under the 'Levare Recordings' label.

4. Georgia was the work of Patti Kim (Meowch / Tel Quel) and Five Seventeen (Toys for Elliot / 5MP) who carefully crafted songs with their 4-tracks in separate houses rather than walk the half-block to each others houses.

5. Also a South African artist (or group).

6. Georgia, real name Gordy Deems, was a lead / rhythm guitarist in the 80s AOR band, Rage n’ Rox.

The Dream
Georgia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had a dream last night
I was back in your room
You moved the furniture around
And your clothes were new
Why do I keep coming here
A lonely little warrior trying to pretend
My heart feels so unclear
I don't wanna make decisions based on fear

Was it a wish or a nightmare
That was playing out inside my mind
I don't know how to read it
Maybe I'll see you on the other side

So, I'll find out myself
No, I don't need no help
One thing I know
You have got to let me go
One thing I know
You have got to let me go

Then all of a sudden
We were climbing a tree
This golden abyss a breakup kiss
Was it meant to be?

Was it a wish or a nightmare
That was playing out inside my mind
I don't know how to read it
Maybe I'll see you on the other side

So, I'll find out myself
No, I don't need no help
One thing I know
You have got to let me go
One thing I know
You have got to let me go

One thing I know
You have got to let me go

One thing I know
You have got to let me go

Overall Meaning

In "The Dream," Georgia describes a dream she had where she finds herself back in her former lover's room. However, she notices that the furniture has been rearranged and their clothes are different, suggesting a change in their lives since their breakup. She questions why she keeps revisiting this place, feeling like a lonely warrior attempting to deny her true feelings. Her emotions are muddled, and she is reluctant to make decisions based on fear.

The dream presents a dichotomy between it being either a wish or a nightmare. Georgia is uncertain about its meaning and struggles to interpret its significance. She acknowledges her confusion and contemplates the possibility of encountering her ex-lover again in a different realm, suggesting that there may be a chance for closure or resolution beyond this dream.

Realizing that she needs to navigate her emotions on her own, Georgia asserts her independence and proclaims that she doesn't need assistance or guidance from anyone else. She recognizes that in order to move forward, her ex-lover must release any hold they still have on her. This realization serves as a reminder that she must be allowed to let go and find her own path without interference.

Towards the end of the song, Georgia introduces a new scene in the dream where she and her former lover are climbing a tree together. This image of a "golden abyss" and a "breakup kiss" raises questions about whether their separation was fated or meant to be. This ambiguous encounter adds to the complexity of her emotions and further blurs the line between wish and nightmare.

In conclusion, "The Dream" is a reflection on Georgia's emotional journey after a breakup. Through vivid dream imagery, she explores her own confusion, questions the meaning of the dream, asserts her independence, and understands the importance of letting go. The song delves into the complexities of relationships and the process of moving on, leaving listeners with a sense of introspection and contemplation.

This golden void, a kiss of parting

Was it meant to be?
Was it destined to occur?

One thing I am certain of

You have got to let me go
You must allow me to leave

One thing I know
One thing I am certain of

You have got to let me go
You must allow me to leave

One thing I know
One thing I am certain of

You have got to let me go
You must allow me to leave
