Epic Dream: Winter | Johnny J. Johnston 
The track, originally "His" Theme, carries a profound sense of yearning and longing, deeply rooted in vulnerability and hope. The lyrics, taken from an untitled poem in A Small Collection of Imperfect Dreams, convey the dreamer's heartache—desiring a connection that cannot be fully realized, yet still dreaming of a love that transcends the boundaries of fear and judgment. It speaks of a relationship that longs for freedom from the expectations of the world, the dream of holding hands, sharing a life, and building something together—business, family, and unity.

The melody in this track is sparse and melancholic, drifting like falling snow—delicate, slow, and deeply intimate. It carries an aching, yet hopeful, emotional current that pulls the listener into the dreamer's solitude. Each note feels suspended in time, mirroring the quiet, intimate moment where the dreamer’s yearning reaches its peak. This loneliness and longing are perfectly mirrored in the music, as it carries a sense of vulnerability and unfulfilled desire.

The lyrics—"shed a tear drop from my eyes now, I want to hear the sound of hope from your mouth. Just surrender to silent move, there's no one else around us. It’s just... me and you... all the world seems to vanish around us, born a cell made of colors that fade. Hold me... feel me... dream me... tonight..."—add layers of emotional depth. They are a tender plea for connection and love, a request for a quiet surrender where the world fades, and only two souls remain. The lyrics speak to the fragility of the bond, the desire for honesty, and the acceptance of the deep, yet vulnerable love they long for.

The atmosphere is one of stillness and reflection. Gentle chords and ethereal harmonies create a landscape of softness and subtlety, embracing the listener in an emotionally charged space. The listener is invited to reflect on their own desires for intimacy, trust, and love, and to remember the beauty of fleeting moments—of shared quiet, of longing, of hope. The track feels like a tender plea for unity, not just with the lover, but also with oneself, finding beauty in the surrender and the fragility of human connection.

"Winter" becomes not only a track of yearning, but a poignant exploration of love, vulnerability, and the dream of unconditional acceptance. It evokes the sadness of not being seen or loved in return, yet also suggests that even in those moments, there is beauty and value in the dream itself.

Bonus Track: Winter

(Mmm… ohhh… sigh… I can’t feel… I can’t breathe… ohhh… slow…)

I see your ghost in empty halls,
Hear your voice through hollow walls.
The bed is cold, the lights are low,
You left too fast, I'm falling slow.

Your promises still taste like wine,
Sweet at first, then burned my mind.
Did she tell you she'd make you whole?
Did she buy your heart with gold?

(Ohh… did you ever love me? Tell me… tell me… please…)
Did you close your eyes when you walked away?
Or was I just a price to pay?

You sold your soul for silver dreams,
Left me drowning in my screams.
I was home, I was safe,
Now I'm just a shadow you erased.

The stars don’t shine the way they did,
The moon looks tired, just like me.
Every street still calls your name,
But you’re lost inside your fame.

Did you close your eyes when you walked away?
Or was I just a price to pay?

You sold your soul for silver dreams,
Left me drowning in my screams.
I was home, I was safe,
Now I'm just a shadow you erased.


Maybe one day, you’ll feel the ache,
When you realize love can break.
But by then, I won’t be there,
I’ll be just a whisper in the air.

(Mmm… sigh… falling slow… ohhh… gone… gone…)

Falling Slow

(Mmm… ohhh… hush… please… stop… sigh… ohhh…)

I was small, I was light,
Hiding in the hallway night after night.
Shadows screaming through the walls,
I held my breath, I curled up small.

The plates would crash, the voices rose,
Thunder in a house that never felt like home.
I traced the cracks along the floor,
A child caught in a silent war.

(Ohhh… tell me… was it love? Was it love… at all?)
Did you see me standing there?
Or was I just another chair?

You called it love, but love should not feel this cold,
I was a child, not a war to be fought or sold.
Your words were knives, your silence burned,
And I was too young to understand your world.

I tried to fix you with my hands,
But love was never mine to mend.
I learned too soon how pain can grow,
How voices break but never show.

Did you see me standing there?
Or was I just another chair?

You called it love, but love should not feel this cold,
I was a child, not a war to be fought or sold.
Your words were knives, your silence burned,
And I was too young to understand your world.

Maybe one day, you'll say my name,
And hear the echo of my pain.

(Mmm… hush… sigh… I was just a child… ohhh… gone…)
