Born in a garage, but raised on the road, Jane’s Party is a musical band from the Greater Toronto Area. With catchy hooks, bouncy beats, and sweet vocal harmonies, Jane's Party combines the spirit of the old with new-age "pop & roll", drawing comparisons to bands such as The Skydiggers, Joel Plaskett and Wilco.
In 2009, Jane’s Party established themselves as the "Folk-pop darlings of Toronto" with back-to-back performances at the Now Magazine Lounge in co-ordination with the NXNE Festival. With dates such as The Halifax Pop Explosion, Toronto Indie Music Week, The International Pop Overthrow Festival, and feature performances at The Horseshoe and Hugh’s Room, the band has played over 100 shows alone in the past year in support of their full length album The Garage Sessions. The album was inspired by two independent tours of Northwest Ontario and Eastern Canada, winning over the hearts of anyone within earshot. The Garage Sessions captures the groups ability to compose feel good songs,"which are clean, direct and glowing with warmth" (John Sakamoto, The Toronto Star). Recently Jane’s Party has found themselves sharing bills with acts such as Steve Poltz, You Say Party We Say Die, By Divine Right, Zeus and more…
Daydream
Jane's Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a daydream
In a dry heat
And the summer sun
Reminds you you love someone
Oh, I get so tired
In the sunshine
With not a thing to do
But lie here and dream of you
When I′m dreaming
Of a time we shared
With your soft skin
Running through my hair
It's blinding
With no words to say
On a summer′s day
Reflections, and shadows
Perfection
In the sea breeze
In the tree leaves
On my walk back home
Reminds me I'm not alone
It reminds me of a time we shared
With the crosswinds
Blowing through my hair
It's blinding
Oh the things we′d say
On a summer′s day
So I just lie here and feel this way
The opening line of the song, "Smoke, it fills the air, like a daydream," sets the tone for the nostalgic and dreamlike atmosphere that the song creates. The smoke could have a literal meaning, like smoke from a fire or cigarette, but more likely, it is meant to symbolize a hazy, dreamlike state of mind. The lyrics transport the listener to a hot summer day, where the warm sun is beating down and there is nothing to do but lie in the sun and daydream. The repetition of the phrase "on a summer's day" emphasizes the nostalgia and romanticism associated with this kind of memory.
The lyrics also suggest a longing for someone special, with the lines "And the summer sun/Reminds you you love someone" and "But lie here and dream of you." The singer seems to be lost in a reverie, remembering a past love and the way it felt to be with them. The imagery in the lines "With your soft skin/Running through my hair" and "Perfection/In the sea breeze/In the tree leaves" is evocative and sensual, conveying a sense of closeness with the loved one and the natural world.
Overall, "Daydream" is a meditation on memory, nostalgia, and longing, presented through vivid and dreamlike imagery and a wistful tone.
