This single is the result of a chance meeting at a concert in Paris in 2004. Corder was there with his friends Marc Bianchi and Eyad Kaileh of Her Space Holiday, the headliners (also playing were a young Cocorosie and their tall skinny bearded friend Devendra Banhart). Towards the finale of the HSH show, while Marc's girlfriend at the time was busy dumping a beer on a schmuck who had been bad-mouthing the band, Corder ran into Phillipe Dalecky, producer-extraordinaire and half of the NY-duo Philosophy. Dalecky is known as the guy that recorded Jim Morrison reading his poetry for an entire day, three days before Jim was found dead. Corder and Dalecky hit it off and planned to do some recording in the future. In January 2007, Corder was sitting on a song that was his favorite to sing that he had ever written. Even though he had formally stopped pursuing a music career to focus on his painting, "Dream On" was too good and too fun NOT to record. He called Phillipe in Paris, Phillipe said "Let's do it, brother," and Corder headed up on the train. They recorded the song in the same room where Morrison had recorded his poetry. Dalecky laid down the beats, bass, keyboards and guitar and Corder laid down about 6 vocal tracks. The second voice that is sort of a drugged sounding Flav giving support to the lead, was completely improv, including the middle break, "...whole way of world/world falling apart/minds going crazy/never know how to start/never know what to say or what to do/where to go/till I found you." Corder grew up on a steady diet of Stevie Wonder - Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs In The Key Of Life. There are elements of Stevie in the single, mixed with Peter Gabriel, Thriller, and Air. All comes together to create something that Corder doesn't usually create: a top-40 sounding radio-friendly danceable groove. "Every day on the run yeah had to swallow all my pride Waking up all alone yeah had no-one at my side Always dreaming about you always hold you in the sky With your love and devotion I can hold my head up high chorus: I've got you (Dream on) coming into my life Been burned on the inside been holding all my breath Tears run down my cheek yeah had almost nothing left chorus break Saved the greatest day of my life for you my love Holding onto redemption you know I wear it like a glove As I sit and I ponder and I watch the world go by Gonna hold up my head gonna hold my head up high chorus
