Not Made Of Dreams (clip)
This is my flat-out Love Song. A person finds they have a chance to rekindle a love that they dreadfully botched in the past. Many times I compose a first verse within 15 minutes and then spend literally months trying to write lyrics that measure up to that first verse. I worked out a chorus for the song but discarded it because I needed more than one voice to make it work. In rehearsal, my brilliant friend Lonnie Smith saw the old chorus and sang it over the new chorus and, VOILA! - they worked together like a charm. Now it could be a Broadway musical tune. Melissa and I had not planned to record the old chorus because we didn’t have Lonnie with us; he was busy making a movie. We added some very fast overdubs in the studio (thanks, Lindy) that add great tension to the end of the tune. It’s almost like a lead guitar break.
