Another nostalgic song that was first aired and recorded live in 2005 at the Sage, Gateshead. "Dream on - think about what used to be - never mind what might have been". It's a tribute to Bill our roadie and sound engineer and part-time band member and minder who made all our early live recordings, performing some amazing technical wizardry with the rather crude equipment available at the time. He was a real one-off character and not for the faint of heart. Sadly, he's no longer with us but his memory lives on in these recordings.
Remember how we felt back then
Just one desire
Searching for a dream
To set the world on fire
Never realising who we'd
Hurt along the way
We'd just close our eyes
And let the music play
We've all done foolish things
And been misunderstood
But living with regrets
Does no one any good
Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again
We’d fill the night with beating drums
And loud guitars
We weren’t gonna stop
Until we reached the stars
Never cared to listen
To what others had to say
We'd just close our eyes
And let the music play
But like all things before
We couldn’t make it last
And now there’s no going back
Cos we can’t change the past
We’d fill the night with beating drums
And loud guitars
We weren’t gonna stop
Until we reached the stars
Never cared to listen
To what others had to say
We'd just close our eyes
And let the music play
But like all things before
We couldn’t make it last
And now there’s no going back
Cos we can’t change the past
Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again
Billy called and he asked me
To say what’s going on
I said “I don’t know
I think the magic is all gone”
Then he cried, he said
“No, I just can’t believe that’s true
Take away the dream from me
And what else can I do?”
Dream on, think about what used to be
Never mind what might have been
Dream on, remember absent company
Imagine that they're here again
The Sage at Gateshead is the home of musical life here in the North East of England. It has hosted concerts from a huge range of local and internationally famous artists. The building is an incredible feat of structural engineering with its awe inspiring design of curved glass and stainless steel. Sage contains three performance halls and the building was designed around these three spaces to allow for maximum attention to detail in their acoustic properties.
Structurally it is actually three separate buildings, insulated from each other to prevent noise and vibration travelling between them. These three buildings are enclosed by the now-famous glass and steel shell. Hall One was intended as an acoustically perfect space, modelled on the renowned Musikverein in Vienna. Its ceiling panels may be raised and lowered and curtains drawn across the ribbed wooden side walls, changing the sound profile of the room to suit any type of music. Hall Two is a smaller venue, possibly the world's only ten-sided performance space.The building's third concourse was designed to be used for informal music-making. Below the concourse level is the Music Education Centre, where workshops, community music courses and day-to-day instrumental teaching takes place in over 20 individual, largely sound-proofed rooms, one of which is also a recording studio.
