“It’s my favorite song I’ve ever written. My voice doesn’t sound perfect, but it’s a really emotional song. It’s two live takes, and I think I was crying on one of them. It’s about my friend who passed away. I find it difficult to think of writing music as therapy because it’s not therapeutic for me...
Saw You in a Dream Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw you in a dream
You had stayed the same
You were beckoning me
Said that I had changed
Tried to keep my eyes closed
I want you so bad
Then I awoke and it was so sad
[Pre-Chorus]
Haven't talked to you in months
And I thought that I might cry
But I'm not that kind of guy
[Verse 2]
I saw you in a dream
You came to me
You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision
There was no reason, no explanation
The perfect hallucination
[Pre-Chorus]
All good things come to an end
But I thought that this might last
But you came and left so fast
[Chorus]
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
(It isn't the same but it is enough)
[Verse 3]
I saw you in a dream
Then it came to an end
I wonder if you'll come and visit me again
You're taking your time to reappear
I'm starting to believe that when I call your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You just don't hear me anymore
And I know that I shouldn't even try
It's a waste of time
[Chorus]
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
(It isn't the same but it is enough)
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
It isn't the same but it is enough

What did The Japanese House say about "Saw You in a Dream"?
It’s about someone I was really close with when I was younger. But a couple of years ago they died. A bit after that I saw them in this dream and it was quite a weird situation, because I’d never experienced something like that before. So with this event I just sat down and was like, ‘right, I’m gon...
How did she describe the songwriting process?
I wrote a verse and a chorus for it about a year ago [2016]. Usually I write a verse or a chorus and then I just kind of force myself to finish it and sometimes it feels quite forced. But with this song I just waited until I felt I was in the right frame of mind to finish writing. And it worked, I’m...
