Color of your Dreams
Words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2009
Have you ever had a dream
Comin’ apart at the seams?
Have you ever lost your way
‘couldn’t tell the night from the day
Chorus:
When you’re sleepin’
You can tell the yellow from the green
But when you awake
You can’t find the color of your dreams
Have you ever lost the words
The words to your favorite song
Sad that you don’t belong
Longin’ to find them
So you can sing along
(chorus)
Your dreams are all flavored
With blackberry wine
Lost in a leisurely moment of time
Wake up in the mornin’
But you can’t seem to find
The colors that flow through the back of your mind
It was only a dream
I have always loved Alyssa's voice. I sure would like to own an entire album of hers. And just to think she is from Bakersfield!!

Dr. BLT Saves The Musical Beauty from the Oblivion Beast.
It's been a few years since I witnessed the magic of Alyssa Kaess and the brilliant guitar work of Dr. BLT at the recording session for this song. I knew that I was witnessing a very special moment at Reggie's Bakersfield studio. Years passed and Alyssa finished college, but only a fortunate few got to hear this, and the other songs she recorded that day. Now, the music is being heard. Dr. BLT is a great writer and Wendy picked up the songs and ran with them, scoring a TD on each one. They are all destined to become classics somewhere in time. Thanks to Dr. BLT, this may happen sooner than later.

I like this song, when you have a dream not matter how many obstacles are in your way you have to try to jump these obstacles to accomplish your dream. If you look, you would find always a way, people, and resources which they can help you.

I really liked the meaning behind this song. It makes me think about how when you have a dream sometimes all the stuff around you clouds it and makes you feel like its lost or impossible.
