I know nothing about Built to Spill except that they’ve been around for awhile and that they’re a indie-jam band hybrid. Regardless, this song “Life’s a Dream” is spectacular. I accidently discovered this one and have been spinning it all throughout this rainy day.
The song is a mediation on the concept of solipsism. (The idea that reality is creation of your mind and that reality doesn’t exist outside your own imagination…kind of like the movie Vanilla Sky) It’s slow, extremely rhythmic and deep music. I feel like I’m floating around in a big vat of goo when I listen to this song and as the beat builds I’m slowly being put to sleep. And that’s really what this song is, a lullabye. They even reference the song “row row row your boat” …”So I Row On/Life Ain’t Nothing/But a Dream/Realistic As It seems” …
The REAL reason you listen to this song is the nasty spidery guitar solo which builds beautifully and I guarantee will have you head-bobbing.
