about

DEBUT SINGLE: CELIA
Half Dream’s debut single Celia explores a relationship as it meets its end through revisiting vivid snapshot-like memories. Vignettes begin as warm recollections and transform to illustrate a less comfortable reality—one that reluctantly accepts the universal truth that everything changes and ends. Through acceptance of the ephemeral, we’re able to embrace the richness of life in every season. This song was inspired by the life and death of front-woman Paige Renee Berry’s grandmother Celia.

lyrics

I watch you pick tomatoes from the garden
I watch you pour your coffee in the cup
I see the way your hands they look like flowers
A vine unfurled beneath the morning sun

You dust the shelves, put on a gospel record
You made me think that He could save me too
I wonder if you've ever really seen it
The magic that is made up of you

And don't you go
Celia, don't you go
Away

You look so different underneath fluorescents
I comb your hair, I paint your fingernails
I whisper I'm so sorry that I left you
You said it could have been me instead

And don't you go
Celia, don't you go
Away

And this part, the worst part
You're gone
