Brian Eno – On Some Faraway Beach Lyrics 8 years ago
From a 1974 interview (conducted by Chrissie Hynde!):

Chrissie: What about the song which incorporated 27 pianos? – the one that was inspired by a dream...

Brian: "You mean 'On Some Faraway Beach'. It wasn't only inspired – all the words to that occurred in the dream. I quite often wake up and write down my dreams because I find them so completely mysterious. I can't see what it was in me that made me put together that particular combination of items.

"I find the dreams are always much more brilliant in their construction than anything I consciously think of. On that particular one, I just woke up with all these words in my head and I wrote them straight down in the dark. When writing from dreams, you don't feel any responsibility for what you do, which is important to me.
