3 min read
Well sometimes we all have dreams and sometimes those dreams are full of fantasies and pleasures, sometimes they actualize and sometimes too you just wake up and realize it was all a dream. Now imagine having a dream of wooing that fantastic woman everyone’s after only to wake up to find out you were dreaming, hahaha, now that situation is what Gianfranco GFN’s latest single, “In My Dreams,” talks about. It’s a beautiful song that infuses heartfelt lyrics with dynamic instrumentation. If you haven’t heard Gianfranco GFN, then I got you covered. The band lines up with Gianfranco GFN on guitar, David Caraccio on bass, Nicolas Pittet on drums, Claude-Alain Biedermann on keyboard, Vladimir Crabone on vocals, Lucien Matthey on percussions, and Giorgia Rissone on backing vocals, to create this masterpiece that is funky and enjoyable. The moment you hit on the play button, you realize the excitement you get knowing you’re in for a treat just after the first beatdrop.
Now this song In My Dreams is a beautiful genre mix masterpiece that tells the story of a man longing for a woman who seems out of reach. But then the imaginations and the way he really desire this woman made him dream, and in his dream, he imagines that fame, wealth, and admiration would make her notice him. Then as the song goes on you hear lines like “in my dreams I walk just like James Dean / the people all want to stare at me” and “rich and happy for everyone to see” hinting at his fantasies and dreams all just for that woman to see he’s not some lowlife dude, but a wealthy man. The song is fun and magical, it makes you wonder about those times when you were crushing on some beautiful melanin and how you imagine your life with her would be. The flashy living, money spending and taking her on those expensive dates filled with extravagant spending just to prove how much you adored her. What’s lovely about this song is those chorus riding on Gianfranco GFN’s guitar work, Crabone’s expressive vocals, the tight rhythms, backing vocals, the percussion and those keyboard magic creating an immersive emotional listening experience. The chorus, with lines like “giving me the sexual high / tonight I want to fly,” hints at how you yearn for a better life just so you can get the satisfaction you desire, only to wake up to see it was all a dream and therefore your actual dreams remains unfulfilled, wow, that’s how you create music to let your listeners be part of the song. The song allows them to immerse themselves into its atmosphere and feel the story you’re telling as if they are the one who experienced it and that is just lovely.
Well, In My Dreams ain’t just your regular song, it’s a masterpiece of creativity and innovation infused with deep heartfelt lyrics that resonates with the listener deeply and let them ponder on their own experiences.
