about
'Short Dream' is the second single from the upcoming Verandan EP.
As the title suggests, the song takes us into a short dream. The harmonic jangle of the guitars is mixed with the softness of the synths, we step into the vividness of a dream. It’s short lived as the song takes off with a direct guitar lead right after the vocals: “I’m awake now, I’ll walk on but I know it’s different, from now on”.
Ville expands: “The song is built around an old musical idea that was lying around gathering dust but knew deep down it would eventually be of use. It’s mostly about the contrast between a vivid dream (or some other profound experience) and the mundane and how the former sometimes can make the latter feel underwhelming. Like the fate of a tourist.”
