The Isle Of Dreaming
Kate Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ring the temple bell
And with the setting of the sun
The time for dreaming is begun
I hear angels in the river
I see dancers in the fire
And with the silence of my desire
The dreamer in me takes me higher
The song "The Isle of Dreaming" by Kate Price is a beautifully romanticized depiction of a dream-like world that can only be accessed through our imagination. The lyrics talk of a place where the temple bell is rung to signify the start of dreaming time, and where the setting sun marks a shift into the world of dreams. In this realm, the senses become heightened, with angels heard in the river and dancers seen in the fire. The act of dreaming is described as a path towards the fulfillment of our deepest desires, where the dreamer in us can take us to greater heights.
The song can be interpreted as an inspirational piece that encourages the listener to explore their innermost thoughts and desires, and to follow them towards a more fulfilling life. It also hints at the power of imagination and the importance of being in tune with our senses. The mystical and fantastical elements in the lyrics evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, enticing the listener to journey into the isle of dreaming themselves.

In the isle of dreaming
When I am lost in a dreamlike state
I ring the temple bell
I use the sound of the bell to awaken my consciousness and begin my dream journey
And with the setting of the sun
As darkness falls on this isle of dreaming
The time for dreaming is begun
It is then that I am free to explore my wildest dreams and deepest desires
I hear angels in the river
The sound of flowing water awakens a deeper awareness and connection with the divine
I see dancers in the fire
The flames of the fire illuminate my innermost thoughts and inspire me to greatness
And with the silence of my desire
In the stillness of my heart, I am free to seek out my truest desires and quiet my restless mind

Beautiful, ethereal, haunting, Celtic sounding,Moroccan or middle Eastern influenced. I love Kate's voice and yet she's only singing in a quarter of this dirge?!

I heard this once, in an hourly radio program here in Phoenix.....several months ago! I liked it so much then that I made note of it (although I thought the announcer said Kay not Kate, so it took some doing to find this). MANY THANKS for posting this!

In fact Kate does play many of the instruments you hear in this work. Including the hammer dulcimer.

Я представляю, как бы эта музыка была хорошим саундтреком к какому нибудь историческому фильму. И я бы хотела быть одной из главных героинь. У меня уже есть в голове сюжет, и если мне посчастливится в жизни стать режиссером, я сниму такой фильм.
