Dear readers, now let’s pull out all the stops and welcome Elias Dream back to the big stage. When we discuss real artists, Elias is not one who just writes songs. He creates whole worlds for us with his music, creating an incredible synergy between sound and story-telling that puts you under its total spell. He is a master of combining the rawness and rebelliousness of hip-hop and rock with the beauty of incredible harmonies and orchestra-like arrangements straight out of movie score. Every song he comes up with is a separate movie for your ears, a personal story of exploring the essence of humanity through the highs of love, pains of heartbreak, fears, hopes and life-changing decisions. And the truth is, songs like “Forever By Your Side” and “The Love I Hide” have not only stayed fresh in my mind but have been forever embedded into my very soul, forever to remain the soundtracks of memories I will always cherish. That is why it comes to no surprise at all how I felt that immense rush of sheer bliss when he released his newest song, “You Survived,” on June 18th. And while it was all that we have ever loved about his work and more, it was an absolute triumph, proving once again why Elias Dream remains to be a man in a class all his own. Let’s get closer and hear what he has in store for us.
This song starts with a breathtakingly beautiful piano tune that seems to create ice on glass with ease, coupled with mouth percussion that is rhythmic in nature and takes you straight to its beat. The arrangement slowly builds up and gets warmer such that soon enough you get magnetized to it, and before you know it, you are totally entrapped in it. Right from the start of the introduction, the vocal delivery takes a hold of your heart and doesn’t let go of any word.
“You Survived” goes right to the heart, exposing the underlying pain of those kids who grow up under the shadow of neglect, deprived of all the love, affection, and care that any young mind needs. This is a place that’s meant for those unseen kids, that is, those brave children who hide their true pain behind a smile, and are required to give away their childhood and become mature just so that they can survive. “You Survived” is created by Elias Dream specifically for this reason.
As for the music itself, Elias finds a way to convey all of that emotion through an incredible marriage of harsh, painfully vulnerable rap lyrics and the soaring, soulful tones of the Hammond Organ. The organ brings an air of solemnity and reverence to the tune that truly reflects the dichotomy between pain and perseverance. In this combination of music and vocals, Elias isn’t just conveying the pain of childhood sorrow; he’s telling us about the incredible inner strength needed to endure through it. It is a truly touching message that no child should have to experience such hardship alone.
Here comes Elias once again with a song that not only entertains but uplifts, heals, and transforms you completely. In each and every release, he taps directly into the reason why I became so obsessed with him in the first place and proves that his creative reservoir is endless and his compassion is unquenchable. “You Survived” is no ordinary song, it is a magnificent masterpiece of emotional architecture, a sanctuary that will change your life forever from the very first play. So, I urge you all to stop everything you are doing and just sit down with your headphones on and enjoy this magnificent creation. To Elias, who tells our stories through his unique art and who is a master of our sonic transformation, we can’t wait any longer for the next musical treat!
