3月20日,Thomas Alexander Kolbe 將發行全新單曲《Songs In My Dreams》。這是一首僅收錄單曲形式的作品,也是他首次將自己的聲音置於創作的核心。
這首歌始於一個問題,簡單卻揮之不去:為何我們在醒來的瞬間,夢境便悄然流失?為何旋律、語句的片段,甚至完整的情感世界,在晨光初現時就化為虛無?為何在黑暗中如此鮮明的感受,會在睜眼後幾秒內如霧般消散?
《Songs In My Dreams》正是由這樣的思索而來。歌詞捕捉了一種安靜的渴望——想要記住那些在睡夢中聽見的歌,那些在夜裡顯得完整而富有意義、卻在清醒後退入記憶深處的旋律。這是一種近乎孩子般單純的願望:我想記住夢中的歌。你不也是如此嗎?
在音樂上,這首作品將 Kolbe 過往偏向氛圍與質地的創作背景,與清晰而專注的歌曲結構結合。製作保留寬廣的空間感,同時克制而內斂,讓核心元素——聲音——得以不受干擾地呈現。他自然的低男中音為作品奠定深度,而在較高音域時,則流露出情感所需的張力與脆弱。這次的演繹不著重炫技,而在於情感表達的精準。
沒有其他版本——只有這一次清楚而明確的表述。
一首歌。
一個聲音。
一個問題。
《Songs In My Dreams》將於3月20日起在各大串流平台上架。更多資訊與串流連結將於發行當日於此公布。
歌詞
[Verse 1]
At night, when all is quiet, there’s a note beneath my breath,
a faded little echo drifting softly through my chest.
I turn as if to hold it, but it slips into the haze,
a shadow made of music wandering through half-lit ways.
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach but it still floats a little further every time,
like something made of silver that dissolves before the line.
[Chorus]
There are songs in my dreams that return in gentle waves,
pulling me through moments that the waking light won’t save.
When I rise in the dark, I try to trace where they’ve been,
sometimes I catch a whisper, sometimes nothing stays within.
[Verse 2]
Sometimes there’s someone singing with a tone I’ve never heard,
sometimes it sounds like I’m the one, though quiet as a bird.
A chord that feels familiar though I can’t recall the tune,
a rhythm turning slowly like a lantern near the moon.
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach but it keeps drifting like a tide that gently breaks,
leaving on my pillow all the traces that it makes.
[Chorus]
There are songs in my dreams that return in gentle waves,
opening hidden doorways that the morning never saves.
When I wake, I keep wondering what part of it was real,
and what the quiet night decided that I needed to feel.
[Bridge]
Maybe they are echoes from a time I lost to sleep,
or paths that only surface when the night runs warm and deep.
I lie still for a moment just to hear them fade and glide,
until the first pale light pulls the last of them aside.
[Final Chorus]
There are songs in my dreams that return in gentle waves,
shadows made of music that the daylight never tames.
Even when they vanish, something lingers in my chest:
a tune that tried to reach me before sinking into rest.
