demo 116: all this dreaming
🕑 Added 2025-11-29 15:32:59 +0000 UTChey SDC! here is your november demo : )
it's been a super up-and-down couple of weeks in my head so that's for sure distilled that in this demo. I've been pensive, all at once stuck in the past and hopeful for the future! this song is a classic tale of the aftermath of love lost and the stickiness that follows
you can download the mp3 here or stream within the patreon site or app (where u can also save offline)! as always thoughts are welcome below - some prompt ideas : do you like the sounds? can you relate to any lyrics or no? did listening evoke any feelings or memories?
as always - the hugest love to you all for your support! it has meant the world these last few months. you're truly keeping the lights on at OG HQ whilst I write and dream up the next era.
2 quick orders of business:
gold tier patrons: your next live stream + zoom hang will be tuesday dec 2nd at 7:30pm UK time - please mark the date/time down if u can make it and I'll put the relevant links in a new post a few mins before the live stream!
I'm going to try 'WRITE-SOMETHING-EVERY-DAY-IN-DECEMBER' (up + including dec 24th). for accountability I'll be posting everything I write (be that audio for a musical idea or text posts for ideas made up of words) here on patreon for you :)
I'd like to try this instead of 1 big December demo - spreading the creativity evenly across the month into many bitesize pieces, ending up with an ideas advent calendar of sorts. I've done this write-every-day challenge once or twice before and found the process of being less precious / 'running the tap' really useful. so that is my plan! WISH ME LUCK and we'll start on monday, dec 1st : )
love you always,
OG xxxx
lyrics:
your face will change
i’ll cut my long hair
not happy for you yet
but I think that I can get there
time is a trip
it carries all the healing
but it also gives me space
for all this dreaming
and I’ve honestly been
picturing the day
you cut the final cord
and I feel you falling away
the smoking area was packed
but I gotta say
could tell you didn’t really want me
in your space
it hurts bad
..grieving the very thing
that used to drive me mad
see your attention was something
that I always had
can’t get it back
it’s all hers now
your face will change
i’ll cut my long hair
not happy for you yet
but I think that I can get there
time is a trip
it carries all the healing
but it also gives me space
for all this dreaming
is this what needs to happen?
to get me to the other side?
put your name on a napkin
some girl said throw it in a fire
is that what needs to happen?
is this the final stage of grief?
thinking of you with her really works in killing me
your face will change
i’ll cut my long hair
not happy for you yet
but I am certain I can get there
time is a trip
it carries all the healing
but it also gives me space
for all this dreaming

The drums really make this song special
Thomas Peeters
I really love how you create this comforting, homely feel with your voice and the piano, and then always the drums come in unexpectedly and keep giving this slightly rushing, slightly anxiety inducing feel of time passing super quickly! Great stuff! (Or maybe this is just me projecting whilst moving at 320 km/h in a TGV…)
