I rarely leave more than one comment but after listening to this for the twentieth time today I have to say (Frank!) if you keep writing absolute gems like this you will eventually be forced to leave the comfort of your home and venture out to perform for the world! I know I would not hesitate to pay to see you play in the US. If that is not your ambition then I hope you get a million views on this video. Peace and love.

Because I Loved, I Can Dream": A Song of Hope and Uncertainty Exploring Frank Watkinson’s Poignant Reflection on Dreams, Love, and the Future In an age where the future often seems uncertain, the power of dreaming provides solace and motivation to many. Frank Watkinson’s song, "Because I Loved, I Can Dream," embodies this sentiment beautifully. Written and performed by Watkinson with Lolli Wren, this ballad captures the universal tension between the longing for a better future and the stark reality of the present. With themes of love, hope, and the uncharted territory of tomorrow, the song speaks to anyone who has ever wondered what might be possible, if only dreams could come true. A Dream of Love and Possibilities At its core, "Because I Loved, I Can Dream" is about the power of love to inspire dreams of a better life. The lyrics speak of the narrator’s desire to give their loved one everything they could ever hope for, from a house by a lake to a life free from want. This idealized vision of a future together is beautiful in its simplicity, but it’s also underscored by an understanding that such dreams, while enticing, may never fully materialize. Lines like “Maybe one day, if everything goes my way, I will give you everything that you ever dreamed for,” reveal the narrator’s deep yearning to provide the kind of life they wish for the person they love. The imagery of a “big house beside the lake” paints a picture of tranquility and abundance, the sort of life many fantasize about when in love. Yet, despite this hope, there’s an underlying uncertainty. The narrator is aware that love alone may not make this dream a reality. The Reality of Uncertainty While the narrator is clearly invested in the dream of a perfect future, they acknowledge the possibility that it may never come to fruition. The refrain, “I can tell by how you look at me, you think none of this will ever be,” highlights the doubt that shadows even the most hopeful of visions. This line is not just about the doubt the loved one feels-it’s also a reflection of the narrator’s own insecurities and realization that love doesn’t guarantee success or fulfillment. The dream of a better life remains elusive, and they must face the reality that dreams alone are not enough to make them come true. However, the narrator’s perseverance shines through in their words: “But I can dream, I can dream.” It’s a simple statement, yet powerful in its determination. Despite the uncertainty, there is an unyielding belief that dreaming is worth pursuing, even if it never materializes exactly as imagined. This line speaks to the human condition-the need to hold on to hope, even when the future is unclear. Escaping to a Better Tomorrow The song continues with a desire to escape the monotony of the present, yearning for a life “far away to places you’ve never been before.” There’s a palpable sense of wanting to leave behind the ordinary and seek out something extraordinary, a life outside the “faceless crowds” of the current town. The imagery of escaping an old town, “away from all the faceless crowds,” suggests a desire for change, a fresh start, and a break from the routine that can stifle dreams. This sense of adventure, of wanting to venture into the unknown, is a common thread in dreams about a better life. Yet, as the song acknowledges, change isn’t always simple or guaranteed. There’s no promise of success in escaping the ordinary-just a longing for something more meaningful. The line “we won’t come back here no more” encapsulates the hope that this journey will lead to something better, but it’s also tinged with a sense of risk and uncertainty. The future, no matter how desirable the dream, remains unknown. The Power of Shared Dreams One of the most powerful aspects of "Because I Loved, I Can Dream" is the call for shared dreams. The narrator expresses a longing for the other person to “share my dream with me,” suggesting that dreams are more potent when experienced together. It’s a plea for unity, for the hope that both individuals can work together toward a better future. Yet, as the song acknowledges, there’s no guarantee that both people will share the same vision, or that they will be able to achieve it together. The idea of shared dreams taps into the heart of human connection-the belief that we can support each other and find meaning in our mutual aspirations. However, as the song points out, even when dreams are shared, life may still be unpredictable, and the future is never certain. This bittersweet realization-that dreams are fragile, but still worth pursuing-is a key theme throughout the song. The Unanswered Questions of the Future As the song progresses, it poses a significant question: “Will we still feel like this when we’re old?” This line reflects the uncertainty that accompanies long-term dreams. Will the love and hope that inspire these dreams last? Or will they fade as time moves on? The question is left unanswered, leaving room for interpretation. It’s a reminder that we never truly know what the future holds, no matter how certain we are about the present. Yet, the narrator clings to the idea that dreaming is an essential part of the human experience. Even if the dreams don’t come to life in the way they hope, the act of dreaming itself has value. It’s a sentiment captured in the closing refrain, “I can dream, I can dream,” which encapsulates the essence of the song: that hope, love, and the desire for a better tomorrow are worth holding onto, even when reality falls short of expectation. Conclusion “Because I Loved, I Can Dream” is a song that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever dared to dream of a better future, even when faced with uncertainty. Frank Watkinson and Lolli Wren have crafted a poignant reflection on love, dreams, and the complexities of the human spirit. The song doesn’t offer easy answers or promises of happily ever after, but it does remind us that, even in the face of doubt, dreaming remains a powerful act of love and hope.
