Rick Christian’s “In Dreams” captures our loved ones in eternity
Alternative/Electro/Dark Dance artist from Edmonton, Alberta, Rick Christian, has unveiled his new single, “In Dreams.”
In Rick Christian’s last single, you descended into darkness as you entered the dystopian future that is “Pathways.” His latest release strips everything away and offers you something honest and open. “In Dreams” is a vulnerable and emotional window into Rick Christian’s mind. Lyrically “In Dreams” is very personally reflective, driving to the root of desire and the disillusion of lost time. Strong personal bonds with those closest to us and those perfect moments in time are something we all wish we could eternally live out in our dreams.
Rick Christian offers a view into his personal life with his new song “In Dreams.” Putting aside political opinion, conspiracy, the dystopian future, and dark thoughts, Christian composes reflections of affectionate emotions and lost time. Time seems fleeting for Rick Christian as his daughter grows older, crafting a dream world where there is no time and creating a place where they can always be together. Aware that youth can never last, this is a place that freezes moments and offers a blissful eternity.
Review
Having covered four of Rick Christian’s previous singles, I feel am quite familiar with his style, although as “In Dreams” began, I was surprised by the electro-pop vibe I was introduced to. It’s always great to hear another side of an artist, and Rick has done just that.
As the song progresses, Rick’s familiar style is introduced into the electro-pop sound, and I must say, it melds together in a unique and pleasant way.
The track as a whole takes the listener on a mellow, thoughtful journey, leaving them in a somewhat hypnotizing place of contemplation.
I personally enjoyed this side of Rick’s music and would love to hear more of this style.
