He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
His parents started a radio station; hers were music teachers.
Both had music in their blood, instruments in their hands, and a mind to create.
The mountains led him to the west; a star led her to the north.
In Vancouver they met and schooled—studying music and life.
They found promise.
They found love.
In less than a year they put school on hold, got married, and lived.
With music and purpose guiding them, school called again and to Nashville they went.
He became an audio engineer; she became a songwriter; music stayed central and they continued to create.
Entering the Nashville music scene in 2009, Handsome and Gretyl released their debut EP, Hold On Tight Love, February 2011.
Handsome and Gretyl have created an earthy folk feel crossed with an imaginative jaunt of pop, a sweet and tangy piece of wild berry pie. This duo draws from real life, delivering optimistic though realistic lyrics, seasoned with the chill of snow, the sea breeze, and the hope of tomorrow’s sunrise.
Dream Away
Handsome and Gretyl Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you don't feel it can you pretend, pretend
Keep your chin up
Keep your eyes up
And when you get strong waver, not waver not my friend
If you're already free nobody's gonna cage you in
Are your spirits high
All the brave in you, the brave is gonna have it's day
For now
Dream away, dream away
Oh darling, hey darling
Won't you dream away
Now you're walking into the room like you own the place
When really inside you are hiding in outer space
With all the stars
You've fallen hard
It's been so long since you felt the sun
To make up for lost time
I say
Dream away, dream away
Oh darling, hey darling
Won't you dream away
You can do anything
You can make the world better where your standing
And since you can do anything
I say I say
Dream it away
You gotta be brave when they say, when they say you can't
You must show courage in the face of those who doubt your abilities
And if you don't feel it can you pretend, pretend
Even if you lack confidence, can you pretend to believe in yourself?
Keep your chin up
Maintain a positive attitude
Keep your eyes up
Stay focused on your goals and dreams
And when you get strong waver, not waver not my friend
Even when you face obstacles, do not falter, stay resilient
If you're already free nobody's gonna cage you in
Once you embrace true freedom, no one can restrict or restrain you
Are your spirits high
Are you feeling positive and motivated?
Is your mind right
Is your mindset in the correct state for success?
All the brave in you, the brave is gonna have its day
All the courage within you will eventually be recognized and rewarded
For now
In the present moment
Dream away, dream away
Escape into your dreams, imagine a better future
Oh darling, hey darling
Term of endearment used to address someone
Won't you dream away
Why don't you indulge in dreaming and envisioning possibilities?
Now you're walking into the room like you own the place
You exude confidence and assertiveness as you enter the room
When really inside you are hiding in outer space
Despite appearing confident, you are actually feeling isolated and detached
With all the stars
Surrounded by numerous potential opportunities or dreams
You've fallen hard
You have experienced setbacks or failures
It's been so long since you felt the sun
You have been deprived of happiness and positivity for a considerable time
To make up for lost time
To compensate for the time wasted or opportunities missed
I say
I emphasize
You can do anything
You have the capability to achieve anything
You can make the world better where you're standing
You have the power to positively influence your surroundings
And since you can do anything
Considering your unlimited potential
I say I say
I repeat, I emphasize
Dream it away
Let your dreams dominate your thoughts and aspirations
