Long time friends Glen Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner had first planned to release an album together in 1989, the two got together and wrote some demos, but nothing ended up being released from these sessions. In 2000 Hughes toured Japan with Turner, followed by joint appearances during the Voices of Classic Rock tour in 2001. During this time the two decided to start work on a new collaboration.
The duo released their first album in February 2002, it was simply called HTP. The album featured Hughesā regular guitarist JJ Marsh, who contributed to much of the song-writing. There were also contributions drummer Shane Galaas and keyboardist Vince DiCola as well as guest guitarists John Sykes, Paul Gilbert and Akira Kajiyama. The follow-up album, simply titled HTP 2 was released in September 2003 and was stylistically in a similar vein to the first record.
After the conclusion of the 2004 tour the pair decided to put the Hughes Turner Project on an indefinite hiatus so they could focus more on their solo careers
Lost Dreams
Hughes Turner Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always deep in my mind
It only happens in my imagination
So tell me how could it be
Well, I've been waiting to see my destination
So tell me is it for real
Is everything that I feel, a fascination
Why don't you give me a sign
Somebody throw me a line, to my salvation
They never heard you
They never came
I don't know what it means
They never call you
It's such a shame
But it's not what it seems
They never hear you
They are the lost dreams
If you will seek, you will find
How come the sun never shines
Inside the blue room
Feel like I've been running blind
Sometimes I break down and cry
Out in the gray gloom
Maybe it's just fantasy
You know you gotta believe
Is all that matters
You gotta give to receive
Or else you find that your life is torn
And shattered
CHORUS
The Hughes Turner Project's song Lost Dreams explores themes of longing, confusion, and a search for purpose. The lyrics suggest a yearning for something elusive, but the singer is unsure whether their feelings are based in reality or just a figment of their imagination. He wonders if his desires are simply a fascination, and looks for a sign or some salvation that will help him determine what is real and what is just a dream. The second verse continues the exploration of these feelings, suggesting a sense of isolation and a need for connection with something beyond oneself. The lyrics showcase the singer's inner turmoil as he navigates these emotions, ultimately proclaiming that it is better to give in order to receive and avoid a life that is torn and shattered.

It's always deep in my mind
This thought occupies my mind constantly
It only happens in my imagination
This idea is only possible in my mind, not in reality
So tell me how could it be
Please help me understand how this could happen
Well, I've been waiting to see my destination
I've been eagerly anticipating reaching my goal
So tell me is it for real
Please clarify if this is true or not
Is everything that I feel, a fascination
Is my interest and desire only superficial?
Why don't you give me a sign
Can someone please show me some indication of what to do
Somebody throw me a line, to my salvation
I need guidance or assistance to reach my desired outcome
They never heard you
No one listened to you
They never came
No one arrived or assisted
I don't know what it means
I don't understand what happened
They never call you
No one contacted you
It's such a shame
This situation is regrettable
But it's not what it seems
This situation is not as it appears
They never hear you
No one listens to you
They are the lost dreams
These aspirations have been overlooked and abandoned
If you will seek, you will find
If you actively look, you will discover
How come the sun never shines
Why does life seem difficult and dark
Inside the blue room
Within a confined space or mental state
Feel like I've been running blind
I feel like I've been stumbling without a clear path
Sometimes I break down and cry
Occasionally, my emotional state becomes overwhelming
Out in the gray gloom
In a dim, undefined atmosphere
Maybe it's just fantasy
Perhaps this is just a wild idea
You know you gotta believe
You must hold onto faith and hope
Is all that matters
Belief is the crucial factor
You gotta give to receive
You need to offer something to gain something in return
Or else you find that your life is torn
Otherwise, you will discover that your existence is broken and damaged
And shattered
And fragmented or destroyed
