The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Cruellest Dream

The Cruellest Dream by The Bastard Sons of Dennis, from their album Cherry Smoke Empire. The Cruellest Dream is a beautiful, haunting, whimsical song which is performed solo on guitar and voice by Q. Wim Lijkkes. It is an old song that was recorded on 1st November 2012 in Studio One, and it was mixed and mastered on 2nd November 2012. It first became a part of the repertoire of The Bastard Sons of Dennis during their early days in the sand dunes on Exmouth beach in the summer of 1994. Yuri was never quite able to fully understand or master the various temporal conundrums contained within and eventually abandoned the idea of being able to perform it with any degree of certainty. As The Cruellest Dream is such a wonderful song, we all wanted to include it on this collection of recordings so that the fans of The Bastard Sons of Dennis could finally enjoy it as well. The Cruellest Dream was never performed live by our gruesome twosome. The song is available for download from our shop at Bandcamp. THE CRUELLEST DREAM Did you remember me that morning The things that I said As the sun crept up your body As you lay in your bed Well my feet barely touched the ground In the daylight the night time sound That enveloped my tired and weary head Awakened by a sunrise a glow of delight And I knew that I had kissed you, I knew it felt right While I deciphered the way it seemed I had cried at the cruellest dreams And you enlightened my soul with mouth to mouth While I followed you excited, I wasn't prepared For the energies created, the things that we shared I began to believe in you From the forests of love anew Comes the screaming of heart's desire released But my symbols were distorted, your eyes held the truth Had I looked I would have noticed the sign of his hoof My invocation was part undone as I cried for the setting sun And the mother I held the love frowned down Words and music by A.
