Walking Away from the Dream

by Hannah Telle

supported by

jellysheep A pleasant change in style that is very airy and dreamlike. As with the first album, Hannah's voice relaxes and soothes. Really nice production, and it's clear from her Instagram Stories that this involved a lot of work from herself and Riley Geare (the latter was seen in her Stories to play a range of instruments as well as being on mixing duties). Great teamwork from these two which really does show up in the end result. Nice work, both of you. :) Favorite track: Walking Away from the Dream.

max ( ˘ᴗ˘ ) Hannah's voice is so heavenly and sweet. This album puts me in such a trance—it's the musical definition of cloud nine. They never fail to make a terrible day better. Hannah's lyrics are so relatable and hit me so hard, especially Later In Life. Favorite track: Later in Life.

Helmar I love your amazing voice, I love your honesty, your vulnerability in writing and talking about disappointment, feelings of loss and failure and mourning a life path that didn’t materialize (yet), your openness about lifelong struggles with depression and mental health, & your kindness and sweetness. You have a real gift with crafting lyrics! I wish you ALL the best as you go forward with music, neuroscience, and hopefully also more acting. Thanks for being exactly the human being that you are Favorite track: Later in Life.

1.	Waiting 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Waiting for you to call my name Every day goes by the same So much left to tell you but I'll have to go it alone You know that it kills me Oh I wish I would have known There was always another side You're the only one around I can see You're still miles away from me Listen to the sound Here with me When its over will I breathe? Oh can't you see I'm on my knees? Waiting for you to call my name Play me like a game Could it ever matter to a king upon a throne? Setting me aflame before you chill me to the bone Changing like the tides You're the only one around I can see You're still miles away from me Listen to the sound Here with me When its over will I breathe? Oh can't you see I'm on my knees?
2.	Where Music is Found 05:33	lyrics	buy track
Where music if found I'm addicted to sound And now you've got it locked away from me Followed you down Melodies drifting underground La la la la la.... Linger on a memory in my head Still remember every word you said Friends forgotten and left behind Chase your fame a little higher Write your name across the sky Do you think of me from time to time? Echoes abound Logic existing within sound la la la la la.... Swimming through a story I misread Silence leaves me hanging by a thread Friends forgotten and left behind Chase your fame a little higher Write your name across the sky Do you think of me from time to time?
3.	I Saw the Sun 04:02	lyrics	buy track
If one of us comes around in the end Looking back, could we still be friends Without it? Every bloom will fade in the end What do you want? I'd give it all again To have you It's already been done You're in love with everyone Wonder why? I saw the sun Overcome Heaven Inside of a lie How could I run? Is it question of my love? Current keeps pulling me aside Wearing me down My dreams were in your eyes You doubt it One of us had to stop and decide You're cutting me out While I sit and cry about it It's already been done You're in love with everyone Wonder why? I saw the sun Overcome Heaven Inside of a lie How could I run? Is it question of my love?
4.	Close the Curtain 03:15	lyrics	buy track
So close the curtain Radio, low Don't leave me searching for a sign You've thought about it once or twice Was it nice? Why leave it rotting on the vine? That's when you know It's real All of the pain You feel Waves, bittersweet Sinking in the sand beneath your feet Look out the window Lock the door What's it for? Another evening alone You know that feeling creeping in under your skin you keep it hidden in a drawer That's when you know It's real All of the pain You feel Waves, bittersweet Sinking in the sand beneath your feet
5.	Rain Down 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Run They said it would be easy Run past All the faces that mislead you And now I feel the rain pouring down Now I feel the rain pouring down Run The path is set before you Run past All the faces that ignored you Run Don't wanna feel it anymore And now I feel the rain pouring down Now I feel the rain pouring down
6.	Weightless 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Now I'm weightless... Catching flies inside my head all night Seems I've tasted the sweetest secrets but encountered many hours with no light Got me asking myself why Faster that I run I forget the stupid things I've done Floating on a cloud Nobody can catch me now Through the ages the creases lead me down a stairway to the cellar of my mind Comes in phases I catch a glimpse Hear you calling me out the other side Got me asking myself why Faster that I run I forget the stupid things I've done Floating on a cloud Nobody can catch me now Am I something to be joked about when I'm stuck on the ground Can't you hear me slowly suffering and holding myself down Leave me all alone cause you don't want to be around when I come down Faster that I run I forget the stupid things I've done Floating on a cloud Nobody can catch me now Nobody can catch me now Nobody can catch me now
7.	Suddenly 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Said my name so quietly Call it out once more Would you take it lightly If I close the door? Suddenly It's all in the past In spite of me Fell out of my grasp Honestly I still came in last After all Speaking so politely Thought this was a war Holding on so tightly How was it before? Suddenly It's all in the past In spite of me Fell out of my grasp Honestly I still came in last After all Was it even worth it? Seems I never got that far Wishful thinking always leaves a scar Checking the obituaries Counting passing cars If I go down dark enough Will I find out who you are? Suddenly It's all in the past In spite of me Fell out of my grasp Honestly I still came in last After all
8.	Around 04:34	lyrics	buy track
This time I mean it when I say I'm through running after you Now I'm found Without the crowd's shadow on the sound The sound If you give up your crown Leave this town I'll be around Feeling the sound Coming down Feet on the ground, yeah Leave the stage Never thought I'd reach this age Turn the page Nothing more than passing phase Now I'm found Without the crowd's shadow on the sound The sound If you give up your crown Leave this town I'll be around Feeling the sound Coming down Feet on the ground, yeah
9.	With You 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Alone Inside the storm Alone The page was torn All scattered around Pieces fallen To the ground I wanted to find A secret garden Filled with sound What have I become? Everyone is on the run How long till its done? With you With you With you Love lingers all the time To hold you like a child Stay with me a little while Drive another mile With you With you With you Stones weighing on my soul You got me playing a role Castles crumbling in my mind You're leaving me behind...
10.	Later in Life 04:04	lyrics	buy track
I never meant to be a punchline hoping it all fades away In my mind I'm still a child and I fear That I'll always be this way Rather not be reminded Better off staying silent I'm wandering through the rain Bewildered by the beauty and the pain Later in life To realize is sharpening a knife If I make it till the morning Guess I could give it another try Feelings flood beneath the surface of my smile But my pills won't let me cry Light of day leaves my blinded, They're calling me double-minded I'm wandering through the rain Bewildered by the beauty and the pain Later in life To realize is sharpening a knife
11.	Walking Away from the Dream 05:07	lyrics	buy track
Thought I'd never survive it I don't mind it anymore Grey skies in the morning when I rise Same face in the mirror Counter-clockwise I was trying to find Some incentive for my time Now, faded from view Everything comes back to you... Walking Away from the Dream Life isn't Always what it seems Walking Away from the Dream Spinning round in circles in my mind Past, present and future All aligned Deep in my memory All the dissolving reverie Now, swimming in blue Everything comes back to you... Walking Away from the Dream Life isn't Always what it seems Walking Away from the Dream Thought I'd never survive it I don't mind it anymore
12.	Magic 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Daisies swaying in the sun Have I won? Seems I've always been outrun It's all been done It's like the first time I'm falling You gave me a sign Hear me calling It is closer to me all the time When I face the wind it frees my mind Until I see you again Afraid to show it but then I'll come running back Oh, every time you step inside It's magic Then could you love me again? Wait around till the end I'll come running back Oh, every time you step inside It's magic Speaking to you through sound I am found Crush me when I realize I'm left behind Saw the sadness in your eyes We were friends Don't say goodbye It is closer to me all the time Deep within I see the grand design Until I see you again Afraid to show it but then I'll come running back Oh, every time you step inside It's Magic Then could you love me again? Wait around till the end I'll come running back Oh, every time you step inside It's Magic...
