29 in the band. All the way from Sweden. What's not to like? I love that idea. I love this song.
Can't remember when I first heard this song but I've played it a lot since. Just feels good.
Each year I put together a film for the kids who graduate from my school. A kind of mixture of photos and events and then the kids act out what they'll think or what they hope to become when they are older. Needless to say this song with it's "Don't Give Up On Your Dreams" refrain as soundtracked it a few times. They dress up as film stars, car salesmen, novelists. It's quite amazing the different things they hope to be when they become adults. Odd things like stunt men and tightrope walkers. Movie stars and travel writers. What did I want to be when I was in Grade 6? I wanted to play football for Manchester United and England.How do people lose their dreams? why do drummers sell off their kit. Our drummer keeps buying more kits! Why do people give up on music? I can't for one second imagine not playing music. I live and breathe it. I love playing guitar despite my limited skills. I love writing songs. I've got friends who write songs and play fantastic guitar but they no longer want to share. I'm always trying to get them to play. How do you play in a band for years and then just stop? I don't get it. Maybe it's what I read in a book the other day. To some people music really isn't the be all and end all. Well...to some people anyway.
