Formentera Dream

by Simon Taylor

/

about

"Formentera Dream" was inspired by a day-trip to this beautiful island near Ibiza in 2017. It was recorded at home in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK mainly over October 2019. This project also benefitted from the support of Chilli Studios in Newcastle, where I recorded percussion with Ziad Jabero and would practice before recording at home. It is the second single from my upcoming E.p "Under The Volcano", which is set for release in February 2021.

lyrics

There’s people smiling everywhere
But I’m too blind to see
For tears are forming in my eyes
At this sight’s beauty
I’ve travelled for a thousand miles
To find a grain of peace
And I found it on this isle
Across Ibizan seas

Where the land is mystical
Is where I want to be
It might be metaphysical
It’s something I can feel
I’m sick of being miserable
Back out ‘cross the sea
I need

Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams

There’s people standing everywhere
Kissing in the sea
But I just watch the show
And swim off silently
I wish that I could get the girl
But I’m so shy I need
To write a little song or two
To keep me company

Where’s my fellow traveller?
Maybe they need me
I know that I’m a wanderer
Someone please walk with me
It’s lonely knowing everything
Except the way to be
At peace

Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams
Formentera Dreams

Where the land is mystical
Is where I want to be
It might be metaphysical
It’s something I can feel
I’m sick of being miserable
Back out ‘cross the sea
I need
Formentera Dreams
