about
Nadia Tagoe’s debut single, Daydreams, is a catharsis for unrequited love and unfulfilled fantasies. Reminiscent of Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse, Nadia's fierce and yearning voice expresses longing of what could have been. The single was produced by prolific songwriter and composer Simon Linsteadt and recorded in his home studio in Los Angeles. Linsteadt's guitar playing and production take you through a soundscape reminiscent of a Wes Montgomery jazz ballad, with ribbons of modern ambient and R&B gently drifting, turning, and falling throughout.
lyrics
Maybe it's long gone
Despite it all I wish you were the one
How could a heart be so wrong
Empty pages, no tune to sing along
And now I'm left here to face
The things you couldn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
Maybe I don't know what's love
If it wasn't you who was I dreaming of
Too much but never enough
Not a story, only visions of one
And now I'm left to replace
The things you didn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
The things you couldn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
Despite it all I wish you were the one
How could a heart be so wrong
Empty pages, no tune to sing along
And now I'm left here to face
The things you couldn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
Maybe I don't know what's love
If it wasn't you who was I dreaming of
Too much but never enough
Not a story, only visions of one
And now I'm left to replace
The things you didn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ooh
The things you couldn't say (ah, ah)
The moves you didn't make (ah)
My memories ever changing
All my pretty daydreams fade away
