An intriguing, psychedelic, and groovy trip of a song, “Michellar – Dreaming” has a hauntingly retro quality that feels like it was plucked straight from the 60s, yet warped through a modern lens. Whimsical yet deeply introspective, Michellar crafts an astral, transcendental journey that taps into themes of disillusionment, lost dreams, and bitter realization.
From the moment the track begins, it slides in—woozy, shimmering, catching you off guard. The ethereal vocals, floating with a detached, dreamlike quality, repeat the title with slight variations, reinforcing an almost hypnotic loop of introspection. Michellar’s poetic prowess shines as she takes us through moments of running, dreaming, crying, and screaming, weaving a narrative thick with emotion and vulnerability.
But “Michellar – Dreaming” isn’t some blissful escape into cloud-like reverie. No, this is the kind of dream you fall into after betrayal has ripped the ground from beneath you. The kind where reality and nightmare logic blur together, where you relive the same painful loops with no clear way out. The swirling, reverb-drenched guitars feel beautiful, but are a reminder of something left behind, decaying.
Michellar’s vocals carry a quiet weariness, the sound of someone trapped within the wreckage of their unfulfilled dreams. The song’s eerie, vintage aesthetic isn’t just for show; it reflects the deep emotional distress at its core. Inspired by Grace Slick and the 60s psychedelic movement, Michellar twists those influences into something deeply personal.
“Michellar – Dreaming” lingers with you long after it ends—an evocative, slightly unsettling experience that pulls you into its vortex of confusion, regret, and resilience. It’s not just a song; it’s a feeling, a space, a spell that refuses to let go.
