Welcome to a brand new monthly feature on the Word Is Love show playing tribute to a number of special nights throughout our time across the world. You may have heard the Studio 54 & Paradise Garage tribute shows, now it's time for a modern take on this celebrating the legendary Disco sound of Glitterbox Ibiza. 

Just like Studio 54, Glitterbox holds a high standard when it comes to music policy and that is the subject of this mix, Glitterbox Classics.

As you can expect there are a number of well known artists on this mix with music by Chaka Khan, Jocelyn Brown, The Shapeshifters, Dave Lee, Folamour, Dimitri From Paris and Sister Sledge plus a whole lot more Classic action.

The mix is pure unadulterated Disco pleasure and is a tribute to Glitterbox Ibiza, enjoy!

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with Love.

It's time to Dance!

I Dreamed (Feat. Sylvano Moore) (INTERNATIONAL DANCE MUSIC) 


I Dreamed

Verse 1

I dreamed of a better world
Where peace lives in every heart unfurled
Where people don't kill each other anymore
Not for religion, not to settle the score
Why can't we understand, why do we tear apart?
Why all this hatred we want to impart?
I dreamed of so many beautiful things
Dreams in color, like blooming springs
But when I wake, reality strikes me down
Why doesn't it happen, why do we drown?
I wonder again and again
If humanity will ever see the end
Of a day without war, without division
Where compassion would be our mission

Chorus

I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
For a world finally at peace and bright
I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
In love, all united in light

Verse 2

I dreamed there would be no war
That weapons would sleep beneath the floor
That there would only be sincere love
That there would only be respect from above
That we would all be fraternal, hand in hand
All equal walking on the same land
In love, in our precious differences
In our respect, our souls' magnificence
I love you all so much, everyone without exception
From the bottom of my heart, no rejection
But this dream slips through my fingers
I doubt it will become real, the question lingers
Yet I continue to hope and pray
That this world can finally change one day

Chorus

I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
For a world finally at peace and bright
I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
In love, all united in light

Bridge

Are we going to make children of war
Born in tears and misery to the core?
Or children of love upon this earth
Who will grow up knowing their worth?
It's up to us to choose right now
The world we leave them, we must vow
I dreamed of everything, of every passing day
Of a dream that lies, alas, fades away
I dreamed that we would be happy together
Without fear, without hate, all as one forever
That there would only be peace under the skies
A fraternal world, a paradise
Where everyone respects others in their difference
Where kindness finally makes sense

Final Chorus

I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
For a world finally at peace and bright
I dreamed of the sun and the sea
I dreamed of liberty
I dreamed that men and women wouldn't fight
In love, all united in light

OUTRO

I dreamed... I dreamed of a world without borders
Where love would triumph over anger's disorders
I dreamed of a sun that never sets
On humanity finally without regrets
I dreamed that this dream would become real
That together we'd build a world ideal
Together, fraternal, in respect we stand
Of our hearts and our plans hand in hand
I dreamed... and I'm still dreaming strong
That love will open all doors before long
That we'll be the generation
Who changes the world, without separation
I dreamed... let's keep on dreaming...
And turn these dreams... into reality's meaning...
I dreamed... let's keep on dreaming...
And turn these dreams... into reality's meaning...
