The Japanese House - i saw you in a dream (Lyrics)

“Few people are capable of transmitting emotion in song so accurately like Amber Bain, who goes by stage name The Japanese House. She talks about love, friendship, loss, and life through mesmerizing and descriptive lyrics which, when coupled with her hypnotizing melodies, result in honest and heartwarming songs. Bain’s latest single, “Saw You in a Dream,” is the lead single off of her next EP with the same title. In a song that very much mirrors its artwork – a sun-drenched, peaceful beach – Bain sings about a dream she had about a friend who had passed away.” — Atwood Magazine, Nicole Almeida, May 8 2017 ““It’s about someone I was really close with when I was younger. But a couple of years ago they died. A bit after that I saw them in this dream and it was quite a weird situation, because I’d never experienced something like that before. So with this event I just sat down and was like, ‘right, I’m gonna write a song about this’. I think that’s why it’s one of my favourite songs that I’ve done just because it’s quite blatant. Even if you didn’t know the context for it, it would still make sense because it’s still a love song – a heart-break song.”” — Amber Bain in an interview with NME, Thomas Smith, April 26 2017 "Bain is not a powerhouse singer, and she often beefs up her vocals with Auto-Tune or thick harmonic layers. But on “Saw You in a Dream,” a stripped-back version of the previously released single, she peels off the flotation devices and jumps in. A strummy, surfy tribute to her late first love, the track was recorded in two teary takes. Her voice quivers and cracks along as she wrestles with conflicting feelings of agony and acceptance. “It isn’t the same but it is enough,” she sings, the perfect epilogue to a project about life after grief." — Pitchfork, Megan Buerger, March 4 2019 Follow The Japanese House Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejapanese...
