Barenaked Ladies - Flying Dreams

Copied!

If you could walk, if you could talk
Where would you go, what would you say to me?
I love the sound of you movin' around
Laughin' and dreamin' next to me

But I'll never know what you see
I hope it's a flying dream

Over fields, houses and hills
Over hospitals, shopping malls and ravines
Over walls, transcending it all
Love finds itself right where it longs to be
And I'll never know what you see
I hope it's a flying dream

You center me, you help me to see
What is important and what I should just let be
To blow away on garbage day
With candy rappers and cigarette packages

Through the dark days, the hard careens
Longing for flying dreams

There's no more leaves, the raindrops freeze
And glisten like teardrops in the the trees
Sink or swim, still sinking in
I've been swimming deep in the blues these days

Ever since fate intervened
And took away my flying dreams

Flying dreams
Flying dreams

Biography

edit bio

Barenaked Ladies is a Canadian rock band that was formed in Scarborough, Ontario in 1988. The band has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and has won eight Juno Awards throughout their career.

The group originally started as a duo consisting of Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who were both counselors at a music camp. Robertson's previous band had dissolved, leading him to learn all of Page's songs and eventually start performing together. The name "Barenaked Ladies" was initially created as a one-time name for a charity gig, but the duo decided to keep it.

Their unique style of creating songs on the spot based on audience requests helped them gain popularity, and they were soon offered opening slots on regional and national tours. The addition of Andy & Jim Creeggan on percussion and bass, as well as drummer Tyler Stewart, solidified the band's lineup.

Barenaked Ladies gained national exposure when Toronto city officials deemed their name offensive, leading to coverage in major newspapers and on television. Their self-released Yellow Tape became the first independent release to achieve platinum status in Canada.

The band's breakthrough came with their album "Gordon" in 1992, which produced several hit singles including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." Subsequent albums like "Stunt" and "Maroon" solidified their success with chart-topping hits like "One Week" and "Pinch Me."

After the departure of Steven Page in 2008, the band continued to release albums and tour, achieving moderate success in North America. They reunited with Page for a performance at the 2018 Juno Awards when they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

Barenaked Ladies' unique blend of humor and catchy melodies has endeared them to fans around the world, cementing their status as one of Canada's most successful and enduring musical acts.
