Songs On Repeat
There’s something oddly magical about hearing a song and continually playing it over a matter of days, weeks, or even months. It falls under the songs on repeat spectrum, an area that gets triggered from a track for whatever reason.
Whether it’s a motif or message behind the track, production, melody, or events around you, there’s a lot to pick apart when a song remains in your constant rotation. For me, my current song on repeat is Harmonia’s Dream by The War On Drugs.
The track does everything for me—lyrics, production, melody, and its performance. Personally, Harmonia’s Dream is if you take bits from Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty but through a contemporary lens. It’s beautiful.
Above I have one of my favorite renditions of the track, with the group performing their GRAMMY-nominated Harmonia’s Dream from their album I Don’t Live Here Anymore. It was filmed at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles—immerse yourself in it as best as you can.
Lyrics
I can’t escape this memory
It’s like a dream, it’s got me up all night again
And you’re all that I can see
But I been here before, I’ve crossed so many roads
Never needed more than I could hold
Running and returning
In a vision, you’re a ghost in black and white
A silhouette in blue and green
I lay awake at night and wait for you to come
Been hangin’ on so hard and now I can’t let go
I’m in a rollin’ wave
That moves across the line
Am I losin’ my faith?
We’re gonna lose it in time
Leaves are falling down like rain
In the mornin’, I just stand alone outside
And I watch ’em blow away
It’s so hard to find a friеnd these days
Oh, babe, I’m sinkin’
Summеr comes and rain gets in
It’s like I’m lookin’ through the glass on the other side
I’m not tryna make you wait
But I don’t need it anymore, and I can’t turn back
And give it all away when it’s all I have
I’m in a rollin’ wave
That moves across the line
Am I losin’ my faith?
We’re gonna lose it in time
Sometimes forwards is the only way back
To reach the hill in time
I was lost in the light that can’t be seen
Don’t move around in front of me
I’m on a scene, I’m overdrive
You lay awake, you know the way
You know the path I’m walkin’ on
Are we the cast you’re leanin’ on?
You know the coast, you’re on your own
Well, I’m gone like a light that can’t be seen
Don’t look away, it’s just a dream
I’m out of touch, so out of reach
It’s comin’ back and I’m movin’ fast
Just one more day and I’m home at last
I need that love I’m dreamin’ on
I know the cost
You’re on your own
Oh-oh
You’re on your own
Oh-oh
