about

This track is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Dream-Land".
I originally begin composing this track in response to some personal things I've been working through from my own past and lately I've been feeling very haunted by it, dreaming about it and getting little obsessed over it. And all these images as I was beginning to compose arose in my mind. And around the same time, I can across this poem by Edgar Allan Poe and it was so much like the images swirling around in my mind and it just resonated with how I have been feeling, that I started shaping this new song to the soundtrack of what I thought it would be like to wander thru this dark, enchanted world of Poe's Dream-Land mixed with my own emotions, thoughts and dreams.
Is this a nightmare or is this paradise?

I wanted the music to convey a somewhat eerie and somber yet mysteriously magical feel to it with, of course, that 80's/ 90's cinematic flair to it that I love! I hope this song takes you on a journey and you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Also below, I included Edgar Allan Poe's poem Dream-Land so, if you wanted to read it while listening, you can! Enjoy!



"By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE—Out of TIME.

Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
With forms that no man can discover
For the tears that drip all over;
Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire,
Surging, unto skies of fire;
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Their lone waters—lone and dead,—
Their still waters—still and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily.

By the lakes that thus outspread
Their lone waters, lone and dead,—
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily,—
By the mountains—near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,—
By the grey woods,—by the swamp
Where the toad and the newt encamp,—
By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Ghouls,—
By each spot the most unholy—
In each nook most melancholy,—
There the traveller meets, aghast,
Sheeted Memories of the Past—
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by—
White-robed forms of friends long given,
In agony, to the Earth—and Heaven.

For the heart whose woes are legion
’T is a peaceful, soothing region—
For the spirit that walks in shadow
’T is—oh, ’t is an Eldorado!
But the traveller, travelling through it,
May not—dare not openly view it;
Never its mysteries are exposed
To the weak human eye unclosed;
So wills its King, who hath forbid
The uplifting of the fring'd lid;
And thus the sad Soul that here passes
Beholds it but through darkened glasses.

By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule."
