"Story of My Dream"
Music and Lyrics by Mariusz Duda
Arrangement - Riverside

Engineered and mixed by Paweł Marciniak
Mastered by Paweł Marciniak at Manximum Records, Łódź, Poland
Mariusz Duda / Riverside comments:
“Story of My Dream” is a composition prepared especially for our 20th anniversary. We wanted it to contain all the characteristic elements of our style, and to combine Riverside from the first decade, when we sounded a bit “heavier”, and Riverside from the second decade, the more melancholic-song-oriented one. The lyrics contain direct quotes and references to many of our previous song titles. To reflect that, the cover of the single, prepared by Travis Smith, also contains fragments of our past covers and graphic designs.
“Story of My Dream” is the first song we recorded in the new line-up, with Maciej Meller. It's also, in a way, a taste of the way we're going to sound on our new, eighth album (scheduled for 2022). Although the single itself is not going to be on it, it will be the opening track of this year's release, “Riverside 20”, containing remastered versions of some of our past compositions.
In times of “retromania”, playlists, and all sorts of compilations, we thought it wouldn't be the worst idea to mark our 20th anniversary with this kind of release. The compilation will be split into two parts called “The Shorts” and “The Longs”, and will showcase our career to date, summarising what we've done so far and preparing us all for the upcoming new album, which will open another music chapter for Riverside.
What will the new album be like? You can find out in the lyrics to the new single, “Story of My Dream” :)
“Story of My Dream” lyrics:
So I wrote a lyric
Ten years ago
`Bout living in the past
The decade has gone
The world is upside down
Half of it is burnt
And the rest is flooded
By Reptilians’ words
The river is the same
Even if we go against
The stream of all denials
And reality of dreams
Waging culture wars
We are getting used to us
So maybe I will try
To look good in red now
I was alive, at first
Later, I was sad
Trying to fade out
Voices in my head
Amusing the crowds
In a shelter mode
I was lost and found
After and before
The river is the same
Even if we go against
The stream of all denials
And reality of dreams
Waging culture wars
We are getting used to us
So maybe I will try
To look good in red now
The river is the same
Even if we go against
The stream of all denials
And reality of dreams
Feeling overwhelmed
By a grip of decadence
But I cannot hide
In the world that’ll never return
In the world that’ll never return
Waging culture wars
We are getting used to us
So maybe I will try
To be out of myself now

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

My favourite band of all time and the best to ever burst onto the scene since Porcupine Tree

[@grahamkey8496]

They have a lot more heart than PT imo

[@alejandrogrigaites899]

Agree 100%!!

[@DayneLikesKatatonia]

Riverside, PT, Blackfield and Katatonia are my top bands to name a few

[@TheIncredibleEmu]

I love this band! Found them a year or so back, I’m a huge Porcupine Tree and Opeth fan, so this is just great!

Duda looks like he's transitioned into a Bond villain right hand man who's discovered the joys of a tasty guitar lick.

He has Joseph Seed looks, from Far Cry 5 videogame.

The hair kinda reminded me of the look the lead singer of Wheel was rockin' not too long ago.

Marius Duda is one of the most original bass players around today, he's a brilliant musician.

That keyboard lead is iconic Riverside 👌

Wish Michal would solo more. Such a melodic player

New Riverside and Porcupine Tree...My God 2021 has been possibly the best music year of all time.

[@MultiJakethesnake]

Just discovered this band. Better late than never ! Can't wait to see them in Holland !

[@grahamkey8496]

Fantastic track and their tastiest guitar work since the time of Piotr.

[@glee6826]

If you get a chance, see them live. Not only are they great musicians, but they genuinely have fun playing and connecting with their audience. Thanks for another great song. For me, it could have been included as a track from SONGS.

[@sonofsocrates9899]

One of my favorite bands...just heard the song was not disappointed by the soulful melody and thought provoking lyrics.

This is amazing!! Love Fear and the time machine is one of my all-time favorite albums! I believe I have listened to more music than most in my almost 60 years of existence. Riverside is like knowing about Genesis in the early 70's before everyone else! I can't wait for the new Riverside music to be released! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@NearLife4life]
