Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist that performs with the name "Lawrence":
1) Lawrence (Musician): Peter Kersten (AKA Lawrence, AKA Sten) used to be a gardener. His love of nature imbues a wistful spirit into his minimal techno structures, and a sense of organic progression is evident in all of his music. Having started the Dial label in Hamburg with his friends Carsten Jost and Turner, he became a producer of minimal club music that is equally apt for the dancefloor and the armchair. Some of Kersten’s favorite artists include Theo Parrish, Gas, and Isolée, a fact that tells of the many shades to be found in his work as Lawrence.
Following numerous EPs and two full-lengths spanning the labels Kompakt, Ladomat 2000, and his own Dial, Kersten released his incredible Spark EP on Ghostly International in the fall of 2004. Spark asserts a mastery of atmospheres, serving as a convincing argument that dance beats have a versatility that makes them immensely relevant and undeniably enjoyable in any setting. In Spring 2005, Lawrence released The Night Will Last Forever, his third album and first for Novamute.
2) Lawrence (Band): As NPR writes, “siblings Clyde and Gracie Lawrence are not your typical pair.” Clyde Lawrence, 24, and Gracie Lawrence, 21, have been writing songs and listening to countless Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman, and Aretha Franklin records together in the living room of their family’s New York City apartment since they were little kids. After years of playing together, they officially created Lawrence, an eight-piece soul-pop band comprised of powerhouse musicians who happen to be their best friends from childhood and college. The keyboard-driven rhythm section and tight energetic horns create dynamic arrangements to support Clyde and Gracie’s explosive lead vocals and catchy melodies. http://lawrencetheband.com/bio/
The Dream
Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fell in love with a star in the sky
Dream of a life time
A place we call home
I fell in love with a star in the sky
Lost in her own time
She's the queen of her soul
In our times - in this state of mind
Christmas dreams - dream of a lifetime
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Everyday is just the same
Living in our dreams, for the first time
Living in our dreams, for the first time
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Christmas dreams - dream of a lifetime
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Dream of a life time
A place we call home
I fell in love with a star in the sky
Lost in her own time
She's the queen of her soul
In our times - in this state of mind
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Christmas dreams - dream of a lifetime
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
Christmas dreams - dream of a lifetime
Christmas dreams - drinking sparkling wine
"Christmas Dreams" by Lawrence is a heartfelt and dreamy song that captures the essence of being in love with someone who feels like a distant star in the sky. The lyrics paint a picture of a profound connection with this person, as if they are the dream of a lifetime and a place that feels like home. The star represents a sense of awe and wonder, and the singer is lost in admiration for this person, who is described as the queen of their soul.
The repetition of the phrase "in our times - in this state of mind" suggests that the relationship exists in a separate reality, where everyday life is suspended and the focus is solely on these Christmas dreams. The imagery of drinking sparkling wine further reinforces the notion of celebration and indulgence in this dreamlike state.
The chorus emphasizes the repetition of these dreams, as if they are a constant source of joy and escape from the monotony of everyday life. It underlines the idea that living in these dreams, for the first time, feels magical and transformative. The song encapsulates the beauty and longing associated with love, as well as the desire to hold onto and cherish these precious moments of connection.
