And for today we present to you a very charming and likeable song.
'Wake Up Dreaming' is a dreamy, ruggedly optimistic piano ballad about an office suit who doesn't let the dreary boredom of his job in telemarketing destroy his dreams.
Now, if I was a cynical robot who had been swallowed up by the corporate machine (by which this song refuses to be intimidated), then I might be tempted to dismiss this song as just a needle in a haystack of generic pop ballads sung by Phoebe-lookalikes, and give it a hum-drum three stars out of five.
But fortunately, I am not a robot thus enslaved, but a (mere) human determined "to keep believing" -- just like the song would have us do. And so, as a way of saying a loud AMEN to the conviction of this anthem of hope, and because I really do like the superhero cartoons that decorate both the Bandcamp page and the blog of this artist, I'm going to give her FOUR STARS OUT OF FIVE.
And I'm also going to give a public encouragement for you, dear reader, to offer a helping hand by donating some money towards her upcoming album:
