Deaf Dreamer was the first song Sebastian Ruiz wrote when he started making music in his adolesce. From what started as a bedroom recording project to now an official band, Deaf Dreamer comes out with "Pyramids", the lead single from the new up and coming EP titled " IT'S BETTER HERE THAN IN THE DARK " out September 22, 2023. 

What started as a conversation on the internet lead to the start of an actual live band. “ITS BETTER HERE THAN IN THE DARK” is an attempt to capture the start of the Deaf Dreamer live band and is an homage to a deep love/nostalgia that surrounds similar music taste amongst friends. The EP is a DIY home recording project done by Deaf Dreamer. Tracked in the basement of a 100 year old home in Portland, Oregon this EP marks the start of a new chapter in the group’s career. What once was a singular artist is now a tribe embarking on the start of their musical journey.

ITS BETTER HERE THAN IN THE DARK

Lyrics:


Maybe we’re meant to be on an island out at sea
Our eyes touch and then we meet
I dream of you
Maybe we’re meant to see everybody when we meet
Right then and only then
I see you through 

Through … you … 

Maybe we’re meant to leave in the silence of our sleep
Our eyes shut and then we leave
333
A B C to Z, every letter has to mean
Something more than… something more than…
Something more than… (you)

You… you...

You got me to play but I won’t stay
You got me to say what I won’t say
I can’t complain, no (I’m just great)
You got me to throw my life away 

You got me to play but I won’t stay
You got me to say what I won’t say
It's hard to explain and concentrate 
You got me to slowly evaporate




Out now on all platforms.

Something Serious

Lyrics:

Maybe I’ll just sleep
Sleep away in peace
Til' the morning creeps
Creeps up in my dreams
Maybe I should eat
Something more than me
A momentary scene
But somehow it repeats

You'll know, you'll know, you'll know the signs
They'll show, show, show you a light
That goes, and goes, and goes in the night
When all the stars become aligned
You'll know, you'll know, you'll know the signs
They'll show, show, show you a light
That goes, and goes, and goes in the night
When all the stars become aligned

Time is taking it's toll on your soul
You'll notice that you're not in control
And you thought you wanted
Everything that you've known
But It's all forgotten
Now it's all that you owe so here I am
Oh my friend, oh my friend
It's the end
Oh my friend, oh my friend
It's the end

You'll know, you'll know, you'll know the signs
They'll show, show, show you a light
That goes, and goes, and goes in the night
When all the stars become aligned

...

You'll know, you'll know, you'll know the signs
They'll show, show, show you a light
That goes, and goes, and goes in the night
When all the stars become aligned
You'll know, you'll know, you'll know the signs
They'll show, show, show you a light
That goes, and goes, and goes in the night
When all the stars become aligned
