John Fogerty - Don't You Wish It Was True.wmv

Revival is a 2007 studio album by American roots rock singer-songwriter/guitarist John Fogerty, and is his first new album in three years. The album is also the third album (the first two werecompilation and live albums) since rejoining Fantasy Records. It was released on October 2, 2007 (see 2007 in music).
The cover design echoes the silhouette design of Fogerty's first solo album The Blue Ridge Rangers. The first single from the album was "Don't You Wish It Was True." The album contains two war protest songs, "Long Dark Night" and "I Can't Take It No More," both of which speak out against the Bush administration and the Iraq War. The latter song contains a lyric that refers to one of his hits with CCR, by referring to Bush as a "Fortunate Son." Also this song sounds like Ramones-style punk rock, because Fogerty has continued experimentation with that sound (in mode of "She's Got Baggage" from Deja Vu (All Over Again)). Another song, "Summer Of Love" is a tribute to The Cream and Jimi Hendrix, it has a musical citation from "Sunshine of Your Love". "Creedence Song" reminds of CCR's swamp rock.
The album debuted at number 14 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 65,000 copies in its first week.
The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album of 2008, but it lost to Foo Fighters's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. This album was #11 on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007. This song "Gunslinger" was #12 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

I dreamed I walked in heaven Just the other night There was so much beauty So much light Don't you wish it was true Don't you wish it was true An angel took my hand Said you don't have to hurry Got all the time in the world Don't worry Don't you wish it was true Lord, don't you wish it was true But if tomorrow Everybody was your friend Anyone could take you in No matter what or where you've been But if tomorrow Everybody had enough The world wasn't quite so rough Lord, don't you wish it was true He said the world's gonna change And it's starting today There'll be no more armies No more hate Don't you wish it was true Ah, don't you wish it was true And all the little children Who live happily There'll be singing and laughter Sweet harmony Don't you wish it was true Lord, Don't you wish it was true But if tomorrow everybody under the sun Was happy just living as one No borders or battles to be won But if tomorrow Everybody was your friend Happiness would never end Lord, don't you wish it was true Alright But if tomorrow everybody under the sun Was happy just to live as one No borders or battles to be won But if tomorrow everybody was your friend Happiness would never end Lord, don't you wish it was true Lord, don't you wish it was true Alright Oh yeah What a beautiful day
