In My Dreams
Eels · Hombre Lobo [2009]
My love is always just as she seems
A force of nature all her own
To be reckoned with
Whatever's wrong with me
Her kiss redeems
And it's all there
In my dreams
My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning
She takes my hand
Says "Open your eyes"
We look down on the earth
And all its schemes
We laugh
And it's all there
In my dreams
We swoop down below the clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says
"Let's go home"
My love is resting under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear
As she lay next to me
"That was the funnest day"
Her sad eyes beam
And it's all there
In my dreams
A force of nature all her own
To be reckoned with
Whatever's wrong with me
Her kiss redeems
And it's all there
In my dreams
My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning
She takes my hand
Says "Open your eyes"
We look down on the earth
And all its schemes
We laugh
And it's all there
In my dreams
We swoop down below the clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says
"Let's go home"
My love is resting under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear
As she lay next to me
"That was the funnest day"
Her sad eyes beam
And it's all there
In my dreams
In My Dreams
Eels' "In My Dreams" appears on the 2009 album *Hombre Lobo*, continuing the band's exploration of introspective themes within the alternative rock and indie genres. The track exemplifies the group's signature blend of atmospheric production and emotionally resonant songwriting, often featuring the distinctive vocal style of lead singer John Ferland. Released during a period where Eels solidified their reputation for crafting moody, narrative-driven recordings, the song reflects the band's enduring focus on personal reflection and melancholic storytelling. It stands as a representative piece of their discography, capturing the sonic textures and lyrical depth characteristic of their work in the late 2000s.
