Cover art for Dream Scream lyrics by Daniel Johnston

In my opinion, this is a beautiful, heart wrenching song. I first heard it by Death Cab, then went back and downloaded more from Daniel Johnston...

This song is about someone who was in love. The relationship has ended. They continue to have dreams about their past love.

When I listen to this song, my eyes are usually wide open throughout the whole thing. The lyrics are so beautiufl, and I can imagine listening to it when I'm really sad, or when I end my relationship. It's like ecstasy. It puts me in a state where I forget where I am, and I dont' live in the normal world anymore.
