Verse 1
I sometimes dream of an endless sky
A place both outside and within
I spread my wings in a deep, blue sky
Another journey to begin.
Bridge 1
At first I try to reach out my hand
Until I stretch right across this land
I wonder then how it might be
An ordinary man can feel so free.
Chorus 1
I sometimes dream I am taking flight
Leaping into limitless space
All too soon I must return to my grown up place.
Verse 2
I sometimes dream of an endless sky
Where it is enough to simply be
We are all here in this deep, blue sky
Or so it can seem to me.
Bridge 2
I wonder then how it would be
If ordinary life could be so free.
Chorus 2
I sometimes dream I am taking flight
Leaping into limitless space
All too soon I must return…
In this strange dream where I’m taking flight
Leaping into limitless space
All too soon I must return to my grown up place.

So I pass my days
I’m counting the ways
I am just a dreamer
I know it is strange
I suppose I should change
But I’m just a dreamer… (I just) dream.
Refrain
Dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming
This is a song about dreaming.

Madness

Verse 1
Echoes of my past surround me
Strangers of my youth abound in me
So it seems to me.
Chorus 1
I feel the madness grow
It builds as the winds that blow
Can I believe in your love? In your love…
Verse 2
My aloneness I’d gathered around me
People that I meet astound me
So it is for me.
Chorus 2
I feel the madness grow
Caught in the energy flow
Can I believe in your love? In your love, in your love…
Verse 3
Patterns of desire direct me
The feelings of my youth rejecting me
So it seems for me.
Repeat Chorus 1
Verse 4
Tempest of the heart now take me
The big wind blows for me
So it ends for me.
Repeat Chorus 2
Middle 8
Don’t be upset now with all these rants and ravings
After the madness comes release
Don’t be upset now with all my rants and ravings
After the madness comes relief.
After the madness comes belief?
Repeat Verse 1
Chorus 3
I feel the madness grow
It builds as the winds that blow
Can I believe in your love, in your love, in your love, in your love…

Imagination

Verse 1
You can tell that I’m a guy who has been around
I can think, I can work out what’s coming down
I avoid issues that confuse me
Things that don’t amuse me
‘Cause they make it harder for me.
Verse 2
I can talk, I can blend in easy enough
I can feel, I know when you are doing it tough
But of course it goes without mention
I don’t deal with contention
Why can’t folk just sort themselves out?
Chorus 1
I want to go where I want to go. I want to know what I want to know
I am all-knowing, all is done to my satisfaction.
Verse 3
I am a guy that always tries to keep it real
I don’t appreciate people asking me how I feel
Next thing they’ll talk to me about existence
I’ll just keep my distance
‘Til the conversation winds down.
Chorus 2
I want to go where I want to go. I want to know what I want to know
I am all-knowing, all is done to my satisfaction.
I want to be what I want to be. I want to see what I want to see
I am all-seeing and free in my imagination.
Verse 4
You can tell that I’m a guy who has been around
I can think, I can work out what’s coming down
I avoid issues that confuse me
Things that just bemuse me
‘Cause they make it harder for me.
Repeat Chorus 2

I never believed in fate
I never believed in fate
And I’m still not sure.
I never believed in fate
But if there’s no answers here
What’s this all been for?

A Voice for Dreamers
07:02
|

Verse 1
I’m deep in thought;
It’s all I ever seem to do;
I’m thinking I’m only passing through here.
It doesn’t help
That people don’t understand me,
And all the troubles that I see here.
Chorus 1
So I pass my days
I’m counting the ways
I suppose I should change but I’m just a dreamer
… a dreamer.
(I just dream)
Verse 2
I’m deep in my head;
In awe at where these thoughts have flown;
I’m wondering why I always feel alone here.
I guess that it’s true;
Even when I’m right I tend to end up wrong;
‘Cause all I ever wanted is to feel I belong here.
Chorus 2
And so I pass the days
I’m counting the ways
I suppose I should change but I’m just a dreamer.
There’s so much more I could do
If I could see this through
Instead I write this song, a song about dreaming.
(I just dream)
This is a song for all you dreamers.
(Long may we dream)

JB Fairfield Brisbane, Australia
JB Fairfield is my solo musical project.
As a solo artist I find inspiration in many places - from
medieval music to the present - and across prog, electronic, classical, psychedelic and post rock genres.
Various haphazard (and surprising) combinations of these styles occur as I try to understand myself and my world through the magic of music!

JB Fairfield recommends:
The Industrial Force
by Ola Lindqvist
Ola's music invites you into a magical world, like a Scandinavian saga. It is clever music because of the time signature changes and chord progressions, but there are also really wonderful melodies.
go to album
Rolf Zero are hard to describe, because they can play almost anything. In this release they show their affinity with medieval music, catchy rock and contemporary prog. A heady mix!
go to album
The Generator of All Infinity
by All India Radio
I have enjoyed this artist's assured electronic work over the years, but because of my love of early prog/space rock, this album especially resonates with me. So atmospheric!

Roaring space rock from this London group, with every instrument turned up to 10, and all of the songs reaching stunning crescendos.
