Dream On – Falling (2021)

Dream On introduce listeners to their sound with the melodic indie-rock tones of ‘Falling’. Their debut single brings a mix of influences to your ears before combining it with something that is purely Dream On. With years of experience between them, the band members pull their individual styles and tones together for a captivating sound.

Before coming together as Dream On, Andy, George and Howard toured in various projects while honing their skills. Andy also worked in folk clubs where he developed his songs and writing skills. Now, they are ready to take on the music world together with engaging melodic flows and rhythms that sink their claws into you.



‘Falling’ pulls you in with a wash of sound that is a delightful balance of the best bits of indie rock. There is a movement to the melody that sweeps through your chest and you can’t really resist it. Every note and instrument adds something special to the music while coming together for a river of melodic rock perfection. The guitar riffs have a slightly melancholic feeling to them while touching a tender hope. Throughout the single, there is this tentative feeling of hope that is woven into a rich emotional soundscape.

The vocals bring a reflective edge to the tentative hope while the lyrics capture a relatable journey. There are a lot of emotions packed into the single from the search for something bigger than ourselves to a reaching for affection and comfort. This is enhanced by the emotive movements of the melody. The lyrics are really wonderful as they offer clear imagery that brings emotional journeys to visual life. The chorus is also really catchy and you will likely find yourself singing along before the single is over. This is a really touching single that sticks with you for a long time after the track ends.

Through their debut single ‘Falling’, Dream On bring the best elements of indie rock to a touching and emotive flow that sticks with you. The single is sheer indie rock perfection that tugs at your heart, fills you with emotions and has you lost in the melodic movements. The musicality of each band member comes together for a song that is second to none.
