I just played by accident "In all my dreams" and I had forgotten how much I like it.

In my mind I get this Black and White love story during the Twenties, I time travel. It fits the Parade period, it probably is from around that period.

I like the ultra positive vibe in it, so uplifting. I dig the choir like chanting of Wendy and Lisa, the lyrics.
I do feel that the slowly played part is too long but the lyrics make up for it "He held her tightly until it almost hurt. But his hips, they moved so slowly". I like the way the end builds up again.

To think that he made so many different songs/styles. Every album back then had a completely different feeling and music style. And even the songs he didn't release were different from the album songs.
He must have felt very special. Being able to make so many beautiful things and being able to take so many people on that journey through his mind and heart
It must be virginal love he put in these songs because they still bring up the feeling that he originally meant for them. Perpetual love.



All my dreams
All my dreams, all my dreams
I'll see U 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams
My spirit's in flight in all my dreams
All my dreams
A submarine valiantly conquers a virgin sea
A child is born, a child is born, will U marry me?
I'll teach U 2night (2night, 2night) in all my dreams
All my dreams
U'll be so surprised (surprised, surprised) at things U'll see
All my dreams
Africa, Cap'n Crunch, Norma Jean, Sex and Cheerio's
Play my record double speed, feel the climax fit 4 a king
Just fun, nothing ethereal
Here ye, here ye, one and all
That the double speed playhouse is making a call
Welcome, this is where I live
This is where I dream my dreams
2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
U're small but very strong
U move like a cat: quickly but gentle
So insane
He caressed her in her eyes and licked her abdomen
She shivered with delight
Over and over she nibbled his ear
U'd think it was wrong 2 have so much fun
He held her tightly until it almost hurt
But his hips, they moved so slowly
She wanted 2 stop breathing
U can feel every curve of her womanhood
U can see every thought in his brain
A submarine slowly moves through the virgin sea
Oh so slowly
She wants 2 stop breathing
U... U can feel every curve
Lisa, I'm gonna give U the brush and U're gonna paint the side of the train
She squeezes tighter as the submarine goes deeper in depth
Into the unnavigated territory
A smile, ever so slight, appears on his face as she starts 2 cry
Until they come, 2gether, slowly
They wish 4 somethin', as if they could see a parallel future in the sea
They do not speak
They only stare out the moment in time
Marry me 2day and 2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
(I'm dreaming of a world)
(Wherein there shines the sun)
(Wherein there lay the stars)
(Wherein there lie the stones)
Gentle, but quickly
We'll travel 2night in all my dreams
All my dreams
All my dreams, all my dreams
Goodness will guide us if love is inside us
The colors are brighter, the bond is much tighter
U know no child's a failure
Until the blue sailboat sails him away from his dreams
Don't ever lose, don't ever lose
Don't ever lose your dreams
Yeah

one of his finest outtakes

Sweet lyrics, I am not familiar with the song.

My favourite outtake! Had it on cassette and lost it in a move; still miss it

i actually have that song, it has been a while since i last heard it..i might have 2 listen 2 it again...its not my top favorites but i like it

Personally,
I view that song as a prime example of why the term "genius" has become associated with this artist.

As a song it's merely very good. But listening to the changes over the end of it, I'd be hard pressed to think of another musician who could pull such a thing off.

It is. It's an out-take from an early configuration of Parade.

It was later placed on Dream Factory too, where I think it fits much better.

I LOVE this song. Such a waste that it never came out in the day.
