And Then I Wake Up - Alternative Lounge

It’s *always* about the music, but lots of times it’s about the poetry, too. The opening track has long been one of my favorites and mostly on account of the lyrics (which, btw, are given incorrectly on many lyrics websites) -- here’s a bit of what I’m talking about:

Nothing to do today, nothing I want to do anyway
I think I'll lie here for a while and try to escape
I'll think of you for an hour or two
And chase away my blues
You chase my blues away
everyday

In my dream we say what we mean, we do what we feel
Love fills the day, you take my breath away

In my dream, there's no bill to pay
No decision to make, no consequence to take
And nothing breaks,
Nothing is fake, no mistakes,
And then I wake up.

And the music is pure head-nodding goodness, with more to love from Maxwell, Afterlife, Skalpel, Yonderboi, Me’Shell NdegeOcello, Praful, DePhazz, brand-new from Poldoore, and more.
