about
What if you could make anything you dreamed about happen in real life? Have you ever tried? It might be more possible than you think!
If anybody asks what you’re doing while you’re gazing off into the distance or doodling wildly on the margins of your homework, just Tell ’em you’re dreaming!
A swingin’ jazzy number all about keeping a positive attitude and making dreams happen.

lyrics
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
We need more dreamers like you
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Cos dreams lead to things that you do
When you see in your mind
What can be, then in time
You just might make your dreams come true
When I was younger, they told me I was no good
But I was a dreamer and so I knew that I would
Change up the scene with stuff I’d dream
And one that came true was making music and
You can make up whatever you want to do
And go dream it too
So tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
We need more dreamers like you
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Cos dreams lead to things that you do
When you see in your mind what can be, then in time
You just might make your dreams come true
Don’t be a nay sayer, be a ‘Yay’ sayer!
Don’t be a doomsdayer, say a dream prayer
Whether it’s World peace
Or climbing the Himalayas
All kinds of dreams come true!
So tell ‘em you’re dreamin’ and then tell somebody else
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Don’t keep your dreams to yourself
There’s so much in our lives that we need to make right
With our dreams we can try turning dark into light
So dream big and aim high and in time, we just might
Make a whole load of dreams come true!
We need more dreamers like you
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Cos dreams lead to things that you do
When you see in your mind
What can be, then in time
You just might make your dreams come true
When I was younger, they told me I was no good
But I was a dreamer and so I knew that I would
Change up the scene with stuff I’d dream
And one that came true was making music and
You can make up whatever you want to do
And go dream it too
So tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
We need more dreamers like you
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Cos dreams lead to things that you do
When you see in your mind what can be, then in time
You just might make your dreams come true
Don’t be a nay sayer, be a ‘Yay’ sayer!
Don’t be a doomsdayer, say a dream prayer
Whether it’s World peace
Or climbing the Himalayas
All kinds of dreams come true!
So tell ‘em you’re dreamin’ and then tell somebody else
Tell ‘em you’re dreamin’
Don’t keep your dreams to yourself
There’s so much in our lives that we need to make right
With our dreams we can try turning dark into light
So dream big and aim high and in time, we just might
Make a whole load of dreams come true!

omg, this is awesome! i have been a huge tipper fan a long time, albums like broken soul jamboree & forward escape are rare electronic masterpieces. i have listen to this more than 100 times and i can detect always more layers...so ful of details in the background...a class of it's own, music and production are not from this world!

Wedding modern electronic beats to 1930's musical styles like jazz and big band, this Belgian band put a unique spin on nostalgic escapism.
