One Dream

Recorded Live - June 21, 2024 @ MOTR Cincinnati, OH

Real Good Fiction

A song about the push and pull of unspoken attraction, the uncertainty of waiting for someone to see you the way you see them. It's a snapshot of that moment when everything could change.

You ever feel like you don’t know where home is? You keep searching but no matter where you go it never feels right. Or maybe you know exactly where home is, your searching made you realize that home is a specific person or place, home is where you make it.  

Danny Arcane hits ‘Home’ and your heart in his new VHS jammed video packed with footage of his hometown, past travels, and old friends. His lyrics describe a traveler trying his luck living all across the country with no success, “couldn’t live in the South, like to run my mouth,” with a hook that contemplates the idea of finally settling down but being unsure where he should plant his roots.  

“I’ve moved around quite a bit and it’s always been hard for me to form solid roots, I always felt like I was never truly home. I think I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’ve realized I can turn wherever I am into the place I call home. Whether that’s in the midwest or the west coast, I’ve realized home is wherever you want it to be” - Danny Arcane  

Footage of a sunset in Los Angeles, the Statue of Liberty, and a BBQ in Milwaukee are displayed while jangly,  reverb drenched guitars surround your ears alongside punchy drums and a warm bass that feel like a hug from your old best friend in high school.

LYRICS

Want to be a Cali boy
But I really love the Midwest
Didn't really want to leave
But Winter had be depressed
Couple bucks pushed my luck
Tried living on the East Coast
Life fast, rent high
Couldn't get what I need most
Where do I go
from here
I don't know

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

Couldn't live in the South
Like to run my mouth
Said the best headed West
To see the fuss is about 
Had the urge and a crave
For a trip and some change
Got distracted by the beauty of the mountain range
Where do I go
from here
I don't know

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

Home

Water runs down broken streets,
Boots heavy, can't find my feet.
Sky opens, a bitter laugh,
I’m here, caught in its aftermath.

Clouds hang like things unsaid,
The weight of words that filled my head.
I spin, hoping to blur it all—
But shadows cling when I start to fall.

Let it pour, let it sting, let it drown me (I'm still here)
Dance with the hurt, let it spin me around (take the pain)
Let it flood, let it break, let it pull me (hold my ground)
Living in the rain, it won’t wash me out (I won't fade)

Cold hands and the truth it burns,
Every drop a page that turns.
I keep moving, chasing breath,
Through the storm and every regret.

Eyes shut, can't face the glare,
Wind whispers things I can’t repair.
But I touch the rain to feel alive,
Hold its weight to survive the night.

Let it pour, let it sting, let it drown me (I'm still here)
Dance with the hurt, let it spin me around (take the pain)
Let it flood, let it break, let it pull me (hold my ground)
Living in the rain, it won’t wash me out (I won't fade)

When the sky cracks wide, I see it all (no more lies)
Breathe in the dark, let it settle deep (in my bones)
Rise through the ache, through every drop,
Find the strength I thought I’d lost.

Let it pour, let it sting, let it drown me (I'm still here)
Dance with the hurt, let it spin me around (take the pain)
Let it flood, let it break, let it pull me (hold my ground)
Living in the rain, it won’t wash me out (I won't fade)

Let it fall, let it mend, let it change me (won't turn back)
Moving through the storm, still whole (still my own)
Let it fall, let it heal, let it free me (in the end)
Living with the rain, I won’t be swept away (I'm not gone)

The Rain Won't Hide

I will sing to you.
I will sing to you.
Under the moon’s red glow, I want you to know,
I will still be here, and I’ll sing to you.

He can take away the sky,
He can cover us with eyes,
He can drag us through the mud,
He can cover us with blood,
He can let the locust fly,
Send fire from the sky.
If there is you and I, I will sing for you.

I will sing for you.
I will sing for you.
After the moon’s red glow, I want you to know,
I will still be here, and I’ll sing for you.

When we’re sure we’ve been bested, I will still contest it.
Though he will leave a mark, there’s only you who owns my heart.
By the fire in the dark, I will sing for you.

Like the snow a veil of lace, I will kiss your face.
You can hang your head and cry, I will dry your eyes.
For this moment in time, let me sing for you.

Let me sing for you.
I will sing for you.
After the moon’s red glow, I want you to know,
I will still be here, and I’ll sing for you.

He can take everything away, as long as you will stay.
In the ruins of it all, only for you I will fall
‘neath the crumbled temple stairs, I will comb your hair,
and I’ll sing for you.

Let me sing for you.
Let me sing to you.
After the moon’s red glow, I want you to know
I am still here and I will sing for you

sing for you
