Cover art for Distant Dreamer lyrics by Duffy

I actually dont like this song much... It sounds like a song meant for a really fruity movie. Maybe its just my great dislike for the word dreamer? I feel like dreamers spend too much dreaming about what the want to accoplish and not enough time actaully out there making it happen.

I think this is a great song that has an almost spiritual quality about it. It's a song about hope, dreams and self-belief. It is uplifting and reminds me of the kind of optimism only a young person could feel, looking at their whole life ahead of them. However, it suggests that the person is not happy at the moment and is seeking to escape their present circumstances "Although you think I cope, my head is filled with hope...of some place other than here". Having said that, the subject strongly believes that life will get better "Even when you see me...

"I feel like dreamers spend too much dreaming about what the want to accomplish and not enough time actually out there making it happen."

Very narrow minded if it wasn't for people dreaming then nothing would exist, everything down to the cup you drink out of was somebody's dream

This song is good it tells a story about using your positive dreams to get you through the tough time dreaming of a better time....
