about

In the mid 90s Russell rescued some rough acoustic demos by playing the tapes one last time as the oxide came off and gummed up the tape recorder heads. Living in isolation during this covid era, it was finally time to record LIVING IN A DREAM.

Think of it as a mature wine with hints of Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd and Beach House.

lyrics

LIVING IN A DREAM - lyrics by Benjamin Russell

Time drifts by minute by minute
I'm waiting for life, I'd like to begin it
My blood's like molasses, another day passes
A slow motion scene, am I living in a dream?

I don't know, would it be different
If someone could show me what it all meant?
Would it change my life's course, with a cause to endorse?
You know what I mean? Am I living in a dream

Doesn't anyone need me? Oh, someone please lead me
I'm sure I would grow if someone would show me
Or at least get to know me. Am I living in a dream?

Doesn't anyone need me?
Oh, someone please lead me
I'm sure I would grow if someone would show me
Or at least get to know me.
Am I living in a dream?
A slow motion scene.
You know what I mean.
Am I living in a dream?

Living on a foreign planet
A bleak landscape of sandstone and granite
Could be heaven I'm in, but some original sin
Blocks me like a screen. Am I living in a dream?

Doesn't anyone need me? ...
