Listening to “Dreams” by Books of Moods is like stepping into a sun-drenched morning wrapped in the arms of someone you never want to let go of. From the very first hypnotic guitar rhythm, there’s an instant pull of something warm, something familiar, like flipping through faded polaroids of a love that still lingers in your bones. And then the drums drop, setting an uplifting groove that’s impossible not to sway to. It’s dreamy, it’s nostalgic, and it’s the sound of falling headfirst into something beautiful.

But let’s talk about that voice. I don’t throw around superlatives lightly, but I mean it when I say this is one of the most special, hooky vocals I’ve ever heard. It’s rich, tender, and thick with emotion, like velvet laced with a delicate vibrato that makes every word sparkle like moonlight. It is the song itself, wrapping itself around the melodies like a soft embrace.

Lyrically, “Dreams” captures those little intimate moments that make love feel like magic. “My chest against your chin / Light and shadow melt together so well,” it’s imagery that seeps into your senses, painting a picture so vivid you can almost feel the sunlight slipping through the shutters. The song embodies love that we all yearn for.

There’s a timelessness to “Dreams” that makes it feel both classic and fresh, pulling from the golden eras of the ’60s and ’70s while fitting seamlessly into today’s indie dream pop scene. It’s got the warmth of a Beatles ballad, the ethereal glow of a Crumb track, and the intimacy between lovers. If this is what Books of Moods is bringing to the table, I’ll gladly keep dreaming with them.
