Dreams

.

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I'm old and feeling grey. I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell. I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream

A charmant singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, harmonica, ukelele, even kazoo from time to time), Priscilla Ahn was raised in rural Bernville, PA. She started playing guitar at the age of 14 and performed in choirs and musical productions throughout high school. Following graduation, the burgeoning songwriter began playing open mics in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey while keeping her home in Bernville. Driving upwards of eighty miles for every show proved tiresome, however, and Ahn soon moved to L.A., where she became friends with fellow musician Joshua Radin after sharing a bill with him at the Hotel Café. Radin soon signed with Columbia Records and enlisted Ahn to tour with him, although she took time off to record a self-titled EP with producers Joey Waronker and Gus Seyfrett. In 2007, she played a showcase in New York City for Blue Note Records and was promptly signed to the label, which released Priscilla Ahn's full-length debut, Good Day, in June 2008.
