Sam Drysdale Had A Sweet “Dream About A Girl”
Converting his emotions into music, like with the single “Dream About A Girl”, is a way for Canadian artist Sam Drysdale, not only to connect with his audience, but also to overcome his internal battles. Indeed, the song, which showcases a gorgeous Bedroom-Pop production style, filled with catchy melodies and a charismatic vocal performance, depicts one of the artist’s vivid dream experience, resulting in a feeling of happiness and acceptance. To describe the experience, Sam quotes:
At its core, Dream About A Girl is a conversation I have with myself. Despite not normally being much of a dreamer, the concept quite literally came to me in my sleep. I had been encountering some tough times in my relationship when one night I had this incredibly vivid dream where I was being spoken to by an almost-angelic woman, someone I’d never seen before. What was strange was that the vividness came from the feeling of happiness and acceptance she gave me, not the dream’s visuals.
