lyrics
Oh so many promises Float away Through this mental haze Now I hear you calling out From your old place Like a dream I had of the summer Constant change It’s the only constant thing We can rely on Today we are all witnesses To a softening of the heart Expansion in motion Today we are responsible And we can’t look away Because we need the complex version Wait you can hitch a ride On a racing mind To take you far away Hey you just can’t say That those were the days Depends which way you face

about

Dream Home is a musical diary written and recorded in two socially distanced home studios in London during the coronavirus lockdown in March and April 2020. A response to the strange and shifting experience of isolation, it contains 11 sections inspired by the home and being in it nearly all the time - Time Runs Clean, Bright Silver Light, Collapsing Old Buildings, Isn't Always This Cold, ISS Routine, Detritus Central, Fox Noise, Fighting The Wild, Watercourse, Dream Home, Spans Decades.

Mike says: “When we were first asked to create this long-form piece it was a bit daunting as it's quite a way away from the usual Firestations “pop song approach”, but we quickly realised that it offered a perfect opportunity to escape the lockdown routine, the worrying news updates and endless phone scrolling. We set out from a few different angles, tried some new approaches, always with the goal of producing a musical escape for/from ourselves. Although lucky enough to have a little more time for self-reflection and experimentation, we were a bit frustrated by the practical and creative limitations of remote collaboration, but in the end we came to view it as a new and exciting kind of collective freedom, summed up by the lyrics in the section Spans Decades: “It doesn't matter where we are, we keep freedom in our hearts, we keep freedom in our minds, we don't leave anyone behind”. This project has given us a helpful focus and a lot of joy and calm in anxious times - we hope you get that feeling from it as well. Listen in the room you spend the most time in at home, preferably lying down”.
