“Not Just a Dream“ by Blake Jeanis

“Not Just A Dream” is an enchanting acoustic pop song by Blake Jeanis, a fresh artist who should definitely be on your radar. With understated, yet impactful production, this song paints an intimate and captivating soundscape to highlight the narrative. Jeanis describes a magical and fleeting connection that has left him changed forever. We can all relate to locking eyes with a stranger, maybe even talking to them briefly, and imagining a whole life with them. That exhilarating, yet somewhat unrealistic dream weaves its way through the fabric of this song, constantly catching you between fantasy and reality. 

Lines like “looking in your eyes, they’re stellar, I feel like I’m floating on cloud nine” immediately capture Jeanis’ infatuation with this woman he has found. Understated organ synth sound and a snapping rhythm lay the foundation for this intimate song. Later, the energy is raised slightly when the drums and acoustic guitars begin moving through the arrangement, but overall the production is steady and enthralling. This allows the song to craft a dreamy atmosphere to really sink into and picture your own cloud nine relationship.

Jeanis is convinced there is no one else like this girl on the planet, calling her his “dream girl” and saying “you’re the answer to my deepest prayer.” These kinds of feelings are exciting, but also bittersweet, because a connection that strong might not be built to last forever. High strings lilt through the production as ambient synth textures fill out the space in the song, encouraging introspection and imagination in the listener.
