From Lullaby to Anthem: How Riiver Brukes' 'Your Dreams' Became a Song of Hope and Perseverance

‘Your Dreams’ is an inspirational and encouraging song, written originally for someone very special to me. Musically, the essence of the song is that it starts off gently – almost like a lullaby and progresses on into almost an anthem type vibe. Lyrically, it’s a song about hope, belief in oneself, perseverance and the desire to become the greatest version of ourselves. It’s about navigating the good, bad, the ups and downs and using all of those experiences to positively affect our lives.

This song has actually been around for a few years but each time we tried to build the song further, it lost something. It was my drummer and mentor, the late Ben Vezina, who would persist in telling me that I needed to write the music myself, as I hear it in relation to the words. This song clearly struck a literal chord with him and so, I wrote the new progressions – and with the help of our very talented musicians, we ended up with a beautiful ballad that I hope inspires everyone who hears it.
