While performing with various groups, Technical Black (1985-1987), Rotary Ten (1985-1988), Thumper Incorporated (1990-1993), Slo Bob (1994-1999) and Morticia's Chair (1998-2002), Bostwick continued to regularly write, record, and perform Pipe Choir music. The song “Savior” was originally recorded in the spring of 1990 and was the first song written and recorded by Bostwick exclusively for Pipe Choir. The moderate radio success of “Savior” provided enough fuel to keep the project active for the next 20 years.
By the year 2002, Pipe Choir started to become less of a side project, and more of a full time operation. In 2004, Bostwick began to shed his peripheral musical commitments, and focus all of his creative energy on Pipe Choir. In 2007 Bostwick began to release soundtrack music under the name Dreams In Over Drive Eternal (D.I.O.D.E.). In 2010 Bostwick introduced his second side project The Marian Circle Drum Brigade (M Circle). In 2013, Michael Bostwick created the P C III and Pc-One projects for his onistwave music. In 2016, Bostwick was awarded the Guiness World Record for Longest Song ever released officially, for his song "The Rise and Fall Of Bossanova".
Dream On
Pipe Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready for launch?
Is everybody in?
Ready for take-off?
A million points of light
(Out)
Out your window
The sky is ours tonight
It mirror song
Dream on
The summer hues
Give in
And begin
The longest winter
And I
Can see it now
Staring out my window
It sings a song to me
Dream on
1, 3, Lift off
Dream on
Dream on
In Pipe Choir's Dream On, the lyrics depict a sense of freedom and anticipation of taking off into the night sky. The opening lines "Is everybody in? Ready for launch?" set the tone for the song, creating an atmosphere of excitement and eagerness. The chorus, "The sky is ours tonight, it whispers, it mirror song, Dream on," encourages the listener to let go of inhibitions and chase after their dreams. The repetition of the phrase "Dream on" is a reminder to not give up on one's aspirations and keep reaching for the stars, no matter how difficult or impossible it may seem.
The second half of the song takes a more reflective turn, juxtaposing the vibrant colors of summer with the darkness and isolation of winter. The line "The longest winter" may represent a period of struggle, but the singer can still envision their dreams and draw strength from them. The lyrics "It sings a song to me, Dream on" suggest that despite the difficulties, the dream remains alive and the singer continues to be motivated to pursue it.

5:26 this is one of the best transitions ever. Feels like you’re levitating, floating across the sky, in space. I get chills when I hear lift off!
@PipeChoir
Did you hear the new version of "Dream On" I made for the LIFEDIT album?....https://youtu.be/FO0pT2HDWzI
@cleytonoliveira791
Tem algo nessa música, não consigo explicar, é algo contemplativo, a melodia, a letra, tudo é único. Sinto como se o espírito humano, a essência, é como se eu estivesse numa missão espacial, indo para as estrelas, como se a humanidade em toda sua beleza, amor e paz tivesse evoluído e estivesse em busca de outros mundos, é muito lindo, não sei explicar.... só sentir esse som ... parabéns Pipe Choir
@PipeChoir
De vez em quando eu recebo um comentário como este ... e sempre significa muito para mim ... Muito obrigado
@linekergoncalves7435
Também tenho essa sensação, cara. É uma viagem boa
@OrlandoFelisberto
Você disse tudo que sinto. Não consigo explicar o sentimento
@naotenhonome456

@elizaferreira7986
Muito contemplativa mesmo, achei lindíssima, uma obra de arte...

15 years ago, I listened this song the first time in 2022, it's now 2024 and I still like it.
@PipeChoir
Consider....I wrote this song in (maybe) 2000..It was a great day in the studio apparently....one never knows what the future holds...and...I almost erased the first version of this song....thinking it wasn't good enough to keep....thank you for listening for so long...maybe...if you want...check this out...https://youtu.be/Xi17zngtaUE
