Lyrics:
Dream Of The Sky Gavin Dunne 2013
Oh come on away to the city
A kingdom to behold
Where the bluest skies they float on by
The streets all paved in gold
Where under the smiles fair and pretty
Are teeth so very white
Into the bones of our burdened necks they bite
Baptised in the water
You're draining the well
You built up your heaven
On the back of hell
Divine is the daughter
The dream that you sell
You built up your heaven
On the back of hell
Breakin' our backs
On breakin' down stones
Raisin' up buildings
Breakin' down bones
Work all the night
And we work all the day
Don't get a choice man
Don't get a say
Well there's a stormcloud stirrin' now
Revolt!
There's a stormcloud stirrin' now
Revolt!
The filthy streets and the calloused feet
And bloodshot Irish eyes
A floating haven for the craven
Nestled in the skies
Well up and out and away with ya
There's a fight outside your doors
The shining pride of America
Is a nation up for war
Revolt!
Baptised in the water
You're draining the well
You built up your heaven
On the back of hell
Divine is the daughter
The dream that you sell
You built up your heaven
On the back of hell
The hybrid face of time and space
And all that's in between
Dimensions twist and turn amidst
The the whims of one foreseen...
Songbird take me home
I am lonely wherever I go
Sanctuary is all that know
And I dream of the sky
Broken clouds drifting by
And I dream of the sky
My utopian lie
And I take to the skies
With my only friend
Every angel
Begins at the end

[@UnfunnyJ0CK]

Just realised. When the female vocalist sings "Songbird take me home." It's C-A-G-E which is incredibly clever. You sir, are a genius.

[@miracleofsound]

UnfunnyJ0CK Nicely spotted ;)

[@rubyrowley9003]

He really is a genius. All 5 notes are C-A-G-E-D, which describes Elizabeth perfectly

[@ssnappa9000]

Ruby Rowley I thought it was like that because c-a-g-e-d was songbirds sound based protocol to find her and take her

[@rubyrowley9003]

yeah it is, quite a coincidence it spells caged, which is essentially what Elizabeth was in that statue

[@MrBoko1234]

UnfunnyJ0CK i cant understand ?

[@braniacc]

Wait, I totally get this song's format. It's the five stages of grief! 0:01 -1:28: Denial. The song is slow and sounds good natured even as it talks about the bigamy and horrid underside of Columbia, as if the song wants to deny that such a reality exists. 1:22 - 2:42: Anger. Rapidly, the song's nature grows harsher, more ominous, and more warlike, ultimately climaxing to the word "Revolt!" 2:43 - 3:54: Bargaining. The song begins to shift back to denial before following up with generic rhythms and inflections, as if it is trying to pander to its listeners. 3:55 - 5:04: Depression. After a moment of just sad tempo, the song repeats the same chorus over and over again, growing slower and less emphasized as it goes on, as if that reality has finally sunk in. 5:05 - 6:11: Acceptance. Despite repeating the same thing it has been since 3:55, it does so in a much more normalized, emphasized, and casually cheerful attitude, now that the shock of reality has faded and the song realizes that life goes on.

[@TheInfiniteSheldon]

If this was intentional on their part, I am even more impressed than I was before. And if not, good on you all the same for making this connection! I never would have thought of it.

[@TheZaphod88]

Dude, I think you are overthinking stuff a bit. Although as more of an engineering type I'm usually ignorant to these kind of subtleties in music so who knows:)

[@lytherael2309]

Alouitious Teapot Nice idea, I like it.

[@Simpson17866]

[@sirismael6747]

Just played the game for the first time a short while ago. This song actually conviced me to try it out. I was not ready for how hard the game hit me. And after playing it, listening to this song brings out so many feelings. Truly a great piece of music.

[@omnipotentpumpkin9755]

This game left me speechless at the ending credits. So many feelings.

Every time I play this game I flick every sink on because it amuses me to waste their water as a way of fighting them even if there's no mechanical purposes. "Yeah bitches, let's see you fire at me when you're dehydrating!"

Do they catch rainwater? Do they have a big vertical pipeline? Do they recycle it with innovative treatment processes? I think it involves another inter-dimensional portal.

[@ianaobsidian2443]

I like the I am lonely where ever I go line so much. I remember so clearly playing and Elizabeth saying how she'd go through the rifts when she was younger but she'd always come back and she never knew why. It just makes so much sense

[@vicetexin]

Only bad thing about MoS is that you end up coming back so often to song that you memorize the comments...first is CAGE epiphany guy then song explanation guy then the guy who asks who are the singer and violin guy...

[@HH-cm5rp]

[@Ibelieveincharmeleonsupremacy]

A prehistoric comment at the top. \[T]/

[@tasedpants]

If I had something where I could play music all day for others to listen, like a radio station, I would play Miracle of Sound all day long. And some Malukah too. People who deserve more attention and are amazing with their skills.

[@Tyro633]

I wish they would release another bioshock just so i could listen to a new awesome Bioshock song by MoS

[@Gswift33]

[@harshamohite1289]

Honestly, this is a masterpiece. Not only does it adhere to the 5 stages of grief throughout it's unfolding, but the "Songbird take my home" part spells C-A-G-E-D. Very clever, and very well written! Catches the subtleties of this awesome game perfectly!

Simply a superb song, still listening after all these years.

[@gideonevans9717]

One of the hardest hitting MOS classics. I love this song.

[@vindurza]

The Vox populi part has to be my favorite the angry Irish war rally is pure brilliance

[@mrmilktrayman8002]

I absolutely love that there's a brief motif back to "Little Sister" at 3:56 and that's it's showing Elizabeth during this, which is beautiful if you've played the Bioshock Infinite DLC"s because she was the one that essentially helped make the Little Sisters, and so they're calling back to her involvement.

[@ViktorPradley]

Years later I still blast this song and belt the 2nd corus out in my car, then start the song over and do it again

[@MimiuMonster]

I believe the word "masterpiece" was invented for sole purpose of defining this song.

[@wolfclaw719]

The only thing I can't stand about you is this song, it's so perfect the way you put the words to the sounds and the sounds to the words it seems like each genre in this song deserves its own full length version, because that's how awesome it is!

[@Ozeec2]

totally agree my favorite part starts when booker goes to throw the baseball

[@wolfclaw719]

I think "Revolt" is m favorite part.

[@Aldowyn]

he has a video producer/editor at the Escapist who does that on most of his videos, including this one (Justin Clouse, I believe... yep, that's right)

This song soothes and lifts you up, then agitates and kicks you down before lifting you back up, leaving you at a mellow reflective state. Your art has amazed me, thank you for this -'J

[@sleepymind5213]

That's why I love them so

[@SiNCry0]

Well said!

[@EthicalCrusader]

I like the song, but I prefer his Borderlands song. It's more lighthearted and kickass.

[@Doomgel]

I would say it's more a melancholy ending, but yeah.

[@Serbianguy0]

For some reason makes me feel very nostalgic, even though i never played the game.

[@Alforbia]

The "My Utopian Lie" line gives me the chills.... ...I love this.

[@andimason3370]

This is definitely one of the better miracle of sound songs. The tone works far better than many others, it cleverly adapts to tell a story and is very well paced. In-fact it reminds me a little of Bohemian rhapsody.

[@praxis5788]

5:11 Goosebumps. Every time.

[@SpanishDio]

Exofox damn true

[@temptationspiper]

Love the way this musically ties into 'Little Sister'

[@AngelsMusicPlaylist]

I still get goosebumps at the Little Sister reprise at the end like nobody I know will ever understand how amazing this is

[@ath3lwulf533]

3:55 always makes me feel so warm and fuzzy :3

[@AnthanKrufix]

Found this song on Spotify, I didn't know it was Bioshock related until now (never played). Something about it really captured me to unsettling amounts. Felt like this was controlling my emotions and heartbeat better than I could.

[@burritosenior]

Looove how the second half is an homage to Little Sister. Just heard that one a week ago and it's one of my favorites now.

[@StudioWiklund]

Payden Pringle By Miracle of Sound! :) You should listen to it as well and compare it to this one.

[@Nila9579]

Though I haven't played the games, I know the story so well, I love the story of Bioshock so much, and this Song (Like your others really shows it)

[@jasondarcey328]

omgsame.

[@ianpartrick8347]

You really should play them. Even if you know the story, the gameplay coupled with it is worth it alone, and piecing together the story through the dialogue and the tapes is not an experience to be underestimated

[@Nila9579]

Ian Partrick Yeah, I played them all start to finish since this comment

[@spiky7700OG]

+Ian Partrick (TwisTed R3V3NG3) well bioshock infinite has an awesome gameplay but i don't like the one of bioshock 1

[@Nila9579]

Spiky7700 Gameplay isnt the best, but the story to it all is truly art

[@KATinBLACK]

That is amazing. This song describes the game from beginning to end. And it's even a bit catchy

[@davidkoester258]

KATintheBLACK a bit?

[@Bob-B-.]

The transitions between movements is great. Lots of drama, this video is effective music art with modern (and fun) ideas

[@tectiva6126]

My personal favorite part is the part dedicated to Robert and Rosalind Lutece in the middle..... "Heads", "or tails"?

[@ShiftySetax]

I didn't understand this song the first time I heard it as I had yet to play this game. Now that I have played it ( and loved it) the song has a new meaning to it. Awesome job Gav.

[@James-gs6wy]

Hey RVB did think id find any of it here.

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

This game hit me right in the heart. Paris would have been so much better.

[@tylerb5764]

Must be 5 or so years since I've heard this, and it's still goddamn amazing

[@Lady_Sleepless]

Every-time I've listened to this song since I played Burial at Sea (which I'm going to admit is a lot) I'm really, really, really hoping that if you were to make a song for the DLC you'd have 'I dream of the sea' sung by you and 'I dream of the sky' sung by Lorna at the same time as a merger from both worlds and both songs. But I'm sure whatever you come up with will be beautiful. Keep up the good work!

[@Shdinexus]

THIS SO MUCH THIS!!!

[@LostTimeLady]

I keep listening to this on loop. I love the violins during the "storm's coming now" section (that bit in general actually) and the "I'm lonely wherever I go" is so poineant it brings tears to my eyes. Gav, you rock!

[@TailorBlaze]

5:00, that next 30 seconds stuck in my head for 4 years now. Still awesome.

[@Graywyck]

I've been saying it for years, The best Miracle of Sound song ever made

[@stevekiss2017]

This song is great and a peace of art. How you bridged all three styles of music and manged to show the three major plot points is beyond words. I also enjoyed how the last part sounds a lot like "Little Sister" another Bioshock song by you. Amazing!

Dear Mr.Dunne. I have to admit that I am adicted to your songs. And the songs you have made to the Bioshock Series are my absolute favourites. The pure epicness and the emotions of the songs, made me buy all three games of the series, hence the developers owe you! :D Especially since I am sure I am not the only one. Its a pitty i couldn't find all of them on one of your albums. Or did I missed something out? Im talking about Dream of the Sky, Dream of Goodbye and Little Sister, though the last is not so important to me than the other two. :) Best greetings!

this game has some serious family issues i mean first she doesnt know her father or mother then she think its zachary comstock then its booker dewitt then its both and she ends by killing all versions of her father like What can't they go to councelor or something

[@matthanna5214]

Християн лазаров she only kills all versions of comstock not her real father. Booker still lives and he is her real father.

[@BattleUnit3]

***** Comstocks is Booker. So by killing booker she kills Comstock also the entire city of columbia was destroyed so not only she kills her father she commits genocide on a community

[@BillieCake]

Християн лазаров it can't be genocide, cause without Comstock Columbia never existed in the first place, so it couldn't be destroyed.

William ToRt Clean pure genocide from history and time itself the fact that something had never existed doesnt mean it doesnt mean it never existed (timey whimey stuff )

[@Kap1k]

I haven't played it 'till I saw this too. Then I installed the game and completed playing in two days...and the game was absolutely amazing. One of the few games which compel you to play it again just after you have done playing. Game of the year, at least for me. Surely go for it.
