Birds 04:15
lyrics
buy track
It’s another impossible dream You know what I know if you know what I mean. It’s another impossible dream Go out and get it and never give in. It’s another impossible dream You know what you know if you know what I mean. Now you got the bird and the wing Flying you up to impossible things. It’s another invisible scheme Holding you up and denying you things. It’s another invasion, you see, So lock all the doors up and throw away the keys. Wise blood in weak limbs you say If that’s all you got then get out of my way. Nothing’s ever as dark as it seems There’s always a light at the edge of the seams. It’s another impossible dream That’s what you tell me cause that’s what you think. Nothing’s ever as open and free As riding the waves of invisible seas. It’s another impossible dream Go out and get it before it recedes. Wise blood in weak limbs you say If that’s all you got then there’s nothing to say. Wise up and begin today Nothing will start if you stand in the way.

Dear Stranger 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Low on a Sunday afternoon High on Sunday evening. Strangers around me pressing, Passing through. There’s reason to think that what you said About happily ever after, Wasn’t a lie  But wasn’t quite the truth. There’s a hole in my heart Where it all keeps going Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out? This isn’t over just because Nothing is ever over This isn’t over Until the night goes quiet. Give me some truth,  Give me some proof Give me a reason for this. Give me an answer That no words require. There’s a hole in my heart Where it all keeps going Oh, dear stranger can’t you hear me calling? There’s a hole in my heart Where it all keeps going Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out? It’s getting better if you want it Isn’t that what they tell you to do? The mind’s a killer if you let it And the heart is a tomb. When I’m with you on a summer morning Feeling good, you by my side, A little light and a little warning That’s how I’ll survive…

Dream State 02:52
lyrics
buy track
It’s dark now And we’re all overcome. You’re safe now No shadows to outrun. We’re home now There’s a door down the hall You never opened up before Let the sorrow bring you through, Cause there, in the night, It’s the sleep gonna give you peace. Dream of all that have left you All the young, all the old, All the love they left behind them, All the love that you still hold.

High Tide 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Every time they knock me down I stand again. There’s an art to finding out How far you bend And survive The high tide. In the night you call for ghosts And gasp for air There’s a corner of your mind I’ll meet you there. And we’ll climb Through the tides And deny Our high crimes.

Lost Year 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Oh, here I stand Over the gods of lost plans The altar broke down It’s down at your feet And all that we’re left with Is all that we need. It’s enough that the sun warms the air of a cool dawn. It’s enough that the new year erases the last one. It’s enough that your smile is a sign that we’ve moved on. It’s enough that we’re wild and free. Open your positive eyes Gaze up and into the infinite skies The angels are broke They’re ready to go Wether they’re good, bad, nobody knows. It’s enough that the sun warms the air of a cool dawn. It’s enough that the new year erases the last one. It’s enough that your smile is a sign that we’ve moved on. It’s enough that we’re wild and free. All the idols have gone The altars have fallen It’s the last ones My heart’s open wide My heart’s on wire I’m ready to go The infinite fire

Cold Heart 02:45
lyrics
buy track
There’s a cold in my heart It’s a darkness that crawls and cuts It’s a feeling that I can’t stop. There’s fear in my soul. And in the night it comes fast and low. It’s a feeling that never goes. Don’t ask for more, Don’t ask for more, Love doesn’t keep a score. I don’t ask for much, A little more than enough, I don’t trust what I can’t touch, Now what? There’s a cold in my heart It’s a feeling that I don’t want I guess what you’re given You got.

Better Than Most 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Open up your broken heart Everybody wants a part A piece of broken art. Hold it up behind the glass Let the light come in and react The only thing that ever lasts. Oh I’m halfway gone and lost But better than most. Forget about having it all Didn’t they tell you, you got to start small? Now you know you got a ways to go. Feeling all around in the dark Isn’t that the place that we all end up after all Well here we are. Oh I’m halfway gone and lost But better than most. Oh we’re past the point of knowing Better we don’t.

Memories of You 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I drove though our town When I heard the news Saw a face in the crowd Thought it was you. Thought I heard your voice again But it was just the wind Or the rain in the grass Were you just coming to ask Am I coming home Or passing through Or am I getting close to you? No, I said, I’m older now I don’t need nothing anyhow I’m dead inside I cannot hide I can’t remember why I cried Or where I’m supposed to go You’re not here to let me know Cause you were the one That would hold me and say “Never let me go.” So - I’ll never let you go I’ll never let you go. Just memories now. It’s all just memories now. It’s all just a memory now. It’s all we get, it’s all we found. It’s all that is left us now. It’s all just a memory now. It’s all just a memory now. Is that all we had anyhow? It’s all just memories now.

about

New full length release from ambient rock collective Dead Heart Bloom, anchored by primary writers Boris Skaksy's and Paul Wood's penchant for space, texture and, fittingly, aural dream states.

Preceded by early 2024 singles 'Better Than Most' and 'Dear Stranger', the full-length splits equal time between the rhythmically up beat post-pandemic guitar rock of the initial singles and the reverberant atmosphere of title track 'Dream State', spacious desolation of 'Cold Heart' and transcendent longing within 'Memories of You'.

Available on all streaming and limited edition vinyl (coming soon).
