A trip down memory lane with images of hot summer nights in central coastal California. A 70's toss back.

Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Lyrics
Summer time and the mood is high Whippoorwill and the kite does fly Forest wind kissing through my hair Moonlight walk through a meadow fair These days of heart beats and sighs Pictures in my minds eye Moving steady go hand in hand through the mist, down to the sand I am ready for a change of scene Ocean waves and some moonlight sheen These days of heartbeats and sighs Pictures in my minds eye. Feel the call of the going out Wander where is the where about No where special just a way to go I am my own one man show These days I wander by and by Pictures in my minds I

Nice tune Carlo! It's got that classic 60's L.A. vibe to it.

Hey Carlo, this is really 'Groovy' man ! yep, this is a multi-coloured Californian 'trip' along the Pacific Highway. I can imagine the sun shining in and out of the pines as we meander around the bends on the road and the sudden dazzling reflections off the sea. All that was good from The Moody Blues / Jethro Tull and that creative musical era. Totally you. Instantly brings a smile to my face. Glorious track Carlo.

I love this song, it really does paint a picture and transports us to another time and place. Fantastic atmosphere and vibe. The flute is superb. One of those delightful songs that makes you want to keep coming back just to capture that special moment again.

A folksy, feel-good new summer classic. An audio AND visual delight. The flute performance soars and the strings are so ultra-expressive, incredible work!
