Peace In My Dreams

With the state of affairs in today’s world I come back to this song, and my dreams, where there is peace in the world. Posted on 3/12/2022.

So-called electric version

I am playing all the instruments on this track, yes including the drums. It’s a little rough but the idea is there and my wife Donna sounds great singing back-up. I have written a song for the two of us but still need to record it. Hopefully it will show up on this site soon.

Accoustic/unplugged version (posted on 3/12/2022)

My wife, Donna, wanted a CD of many of my songs with just me and my guitar, so this is one of those.

This song (written in 2012) was based on a dream I had. J.Lo (AKA, Jennifer Lopez) and her son, as a grown man, were in my dream – and he was the president of China! We were up on some hill looking down at some city. J.Lo’s son and I were talking about nuclear weapons, their cost and how poor some people were. I took artistic licence saying we talked about Bob Dylan’s song, “Masters of War’, but it seemed appropriate.

I did tell J.Lo’s son (in my dream) about another dream I had when Aliens visited and shared their history and how terrible it was and how we didn’t have to go through the same thing they did. The Alien dream I had years ago seemed so real I woke up and went outside looking for spaceships. Might share that dream here some day.

Thanks. Hope you enjoy.

I met the president 
 In my dream
 He was J.Lo's son
 In my dream
 We talked about Bob Dylan
 And the "Masters of War"
 We talked nuclear weapons
 And the worlds poor

Chorus:
 In my dreams there is peace in the world
 In my dreams there is peace in the world
 There is peace in the world
 There is peace in the world
 There is peace in the world
 In my dreams there is peace in the world
 In my dreams there is peace in the world
 
  I told J.Lo's son 
 In my dream
 About a dream that I had
 Where aliens came
 And shared the mistakes that they made
 The same mistakes we make today
 They said, "it doesn't have to happen 
 We can make a change"

 Chorus:

 I met the president 
 In my dream
 He was J.Lo's son
 In my dream
 We talked about a future
 Where all warfare disappears
 We talked about a future
 Where all life is revered

 Chorus:
