Dreamlike State

I've been a fan of the band Erasure for about 25 years or so. Comprised of singer Andy Bell and keyboard god Vince Clarke, they've created an incredible catalog of intelligent, danceable pop that never fails to delight me to no end. I've seen them 4 times; 1989 in Stuttgart, Germany, 1997 in Boston, and 2005 & 2007 in Orlando. They're one of those rare bands that sounds just as good live as they do in the studio on album, and the shows are always a fun, high energy party.

My first attempt at an Erasure video was for one of their B-sides, the gorgeous track "Dreamlike State" from their summer 1990 single release for "Star", from the album "Wild!". It's a fan favorite and has gotten a fair amount of views on YouTube. Enjoy!

I can see clearly now
As the crazy haste of night turns to morning
I lie in a dreamlike state
And wonder if the fear will go away

I know that you're here
In the space that surrounds me
And you make me feel like a kid in a movie
I know that you love me

Like the sound of the sea
Rush in to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love

I've wasted a thousand nights
For comfort in the arms of a stranger
I thought it would lead me on to
Bigger, brighter things

But you know that I'm wrong
It doesn't exist
And you make me feel like a kid in a movie
I know that you love me

Like the sound of the sea
Rush in to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love

Like the clouds in the sky
The rain falling down
Washes my feet
Pulls me to the ground

I'm begging you please
Never to leave me
I know you believe
In all I've said and done

And like the sound of the sea
Rushes to shore
The air that I breathe
Fills me with your love

Like the clouds in the sky
The rain falling down
Washes my feet
Pulls me to the ground

I'm begging you please
Never to leave me
I know you believe
In all I've said and done....
