A melancholy tale of unrequited love, “A 1000 Times” opens Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam’s collaborative album I Had A Dream That You Were Mine, named after the lyric that kicks off this song (and, in turn, the whole record).
Leithauser teamed up with Rostam for a few tracks on his post-Walkmen debu...
[Intro: Hamilton Leithauser]
I had a dream that you were mine
I've had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
[Verse 1: Hamilton Leithauser]
I left my room on the West Side
I walked from noon until the night
I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie
I watched the sparks fly off the fire
I found your old house, I didn't even try
They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds
My eyes were red, the streets were bright
Those ancient years were black and white
[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser, Together]
The 10th of November, the year's almost over
If I had your number, I'd call you tomorrow
If my eyes were open, I'd be kicking the doors in
But all that I have is this old dream I’ve always had
[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
[Verse 2: Hamilton Leithauser]
I left my room on the West Side
I walked from noon through the night
I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie
I watched the sparks fly off the fire
I found your old house, I didn't even try
They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds
I had a dream that you were mine
I've had that dream a thousand times
[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
But I don't answer questions, I just keep on guessing
My eyes are still open, the curtains are closing
But all that I have is this old dream I always had
[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I've had that dream a thousand times
A 1000 Times was written by Rostam & Hamilton Leithauser.
A 1000 Times was produced by Rostam.
Hamilton Leithauser & Rostam released A 1000 Times on Fri Jul 22 2016.
Vocalist Hamilton Leithauser told [CBC Music]
I took the entire structure from [the traditional folk song] “500 Miles;” I’m not ashamed by that at all.
The CBC article goes on to say he fell in love with the folk song when he heard the Joan Baez version and had tried to reinterpret it to no avail....
