I Do

2010: Cloud Cult's first album to make it on the Billboard Charts. "Light Chasers" is a concept album consisting of 16 interconnected songs about the lifelong search for a higher power and the hereafter. 

You Were Born

The Win

"The Dreamer & The Dream" is the title track and the grand finale of the album. It is the moment of integration.

After traveling through the perspectives of the Sky, the Ocean, the Forest, War, Rot, and Fire, the narrator finally asks the ultimate question. Who was I talking to? The answer arrives in a thunderous realization that every external force was just an internal reflection. The lyrics recapitulate the journey, listing the lessons learned from each archetype, before pivoting to the central thesis of the project. "It was all me."

This song reframes God not as a ruler on a throne, but as the collective experience of consciousness itself. Musically, it is the most massive track on the record, combining the delicate glass textures of the intro with the heavy iron percussion of the war anthems, culminating in a bridge that claims ownership of every storm and every silence. 

The song ends exactly where the album began, closing the loop of the eternal return.

[Verse 1]

I asked the Sky if I was safe,
It laughed and rained on me.
I asked the Tide why love must leave,
It pulled me out to sea.
I asked the Forest for my name,
It showed me how to rot.
I searched the world for who I was,
And found who I was not.

[Pre-Chorus]

I thought the War was failure,
I thought the Dark was wrong.
But every broken melody
Was part of the same song.

[Chorus]

Oh, it was all me.
It was all me.
The fire and the breath,
The hunger and the rest.
The dreamer and the dream,
The tearing at the seam.
I am the one I waited for,
And I am not afraid anymore.

[Verse 2]

The line I held became the door,
The pain became the clay.
I had to break to find the shape
That would not wash away.
There is no god upon a throne,
No judgment in the light.
Just a thousand ways to learn to love
The morning and the night.

[Bridge]

So let the Sky be vast!
Let the Ocean leave!
Let the Fire burn!
Let the Spirit breathe!
I claim it all, I claim it all,
The rising and the fall.
I am the space that holds the storm,
And I am not that small.

[Outro]

I was the hush before the dawn,
The silence in the sound.
I looked for God in everything…

Look at what I found.
