Dreaming
Schumann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high
Every night I wish that I
Could tell you how I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part
How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
Let me take time out
To try and find out
If this could be real
Cause reality scares me
I've been living a fantasy
How should I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part
How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there

For the life of me
Despite all my efforts and struggles
I never thought that it could be
I never imagined this would happen to me
The way it stands right now
The current situation is as it is
Emotions running high
Feeling intense emotions
Every night I wish that I
Every night I hope and desire
Could tell you how I feel
Could express my emotions to you
Those words are here in my heart
I feel deeply but have not found the right words
Oh but there is just one missing part
I lack one essential piece to complete my expression
How to put it together
How to make sense of my feelings and express them clearly
How to say it right
How to articulate my feelings in the most appropriate way
And let you know that
And to ensure that you understand
I'll be dreamin'

Dreamin'
Fantasizing and imagining
Hoping baby you will be there
Hoping that you will reciprocate my love
Let me take time out
Let me pause and reflect
To try and find out
To figure out and clarify
If this could be real
If this is, in fact, a genuine possibility
Cause reality scares me
Because I fear that reality may not match my fantasies
I've been living a fantasy
I've been deluding myself with my unrealistic hopes
How should I feel
What emotions are appropriate and accurate?

The tragedy of Schumann is that he lived a tragic life, ending tragically in a mental asylum after attempting to drown himself. In his music, beyond the beautiful melodies, one could hear the pain of his emotions, the struggles with himself and with life. That is what makes Schumann such an endearing and a composer who will be forever remembered.

i think Schumann is also suffering from multiple personality disorder as he labelled the two emotional extremes in his changeable personality "Florestan" and "Eusebius". Florestan is for his fiery and stormy side while eusebius is for his lyrical and sensitive side.

How you gonna get less likes than some random kid saying they're from a Korean drama
@khyrusjosersantos9456
@Ray Is My Name I really don't know, and I really don't care where they heard the song. I have nothing against the K-drama community, seeing as I can't really see what is it that is great about them. What's important, I think, is that more people are finding these beautiful melodies composed centuries ago, and that, to me, is great. If you found it in an anime, that's great; if you found it in a Korean drama, that's great; if you found it in a sitcom, that's great; if you just happened to stumble upon it, that's great; it doesn't matter where you heard it, it's music wherever you heard it.
@khyrusjosersantos9456
@Johnviel Andrei Leones Yeah, I also heard of his multiple personality. I think it's sad, but, like van Gogh, he conjured all his problems into his music, and now he is immortalized through the melodies and pieces he write in his lifetime. It's sad that most of the people who write beautiful things are mentally ill, but through their expressions, not only do they spread awareness of what they are going through, they make the most poignant, beautiful, and mystifying of melodies, that not even the most inspired can think of.
@jojovoldo4058
@12- HUMSS Khyrus Joser Santos Yes sad indeed but it's also beautiful for us people hearing and studying his music then realizing that he suffers from a mental illness. I think it is common for good musicians to have a mental illness like a study that finds 73% of independent musicians are suffering from symptoms of mental Illness and they are more prone to anxiety or depression although music for us listeners benefit us by relaxing our mind and keeping our mental health. That's why there is a music therapy for different mental health conditions including depression, trauma, and schizophrenia because music acts as a medium for processing emotions, trauma, and grief but for me most of the time it acts as a regulating or calming agent for our mind including Schumann's music. I always listen to his music when im studying or reading something and also when im drawing something because it calms me and helps me focus more.

I haven’t listened to hardly any Schumann ever but I’m starting to like him a lot! Beautiful playing!

My dad used to play this on piano when my mom was pregnant with my older sister. My sister passed away at 8 days old (heart issues) but he still sometimes plays it I think to remember her
