'When Dreams End' is a soothing melody carefully wrapped in a deeply touching emotional message. In a mystical way, Chris St. John's voice will pave the way for you to reconnect with the absent sentiment. The vocals are performed in a way that does justice to not just the composition but the thoughtful lyricism. Every song is a memory, recalled and offered to the audience in a poetic and musical form. Every song feels like it's being calmly whispering its tale.
Every instrument has warmth and fervency. Types of electric, as well as acoustic guitars blended with violins and piano, make a dreamy and impressive atmosphere and are the backbone of the dynamics of this album.
Drums and bass have their own weight and have broad coverage in the low end. The balancing of each element and their clarity in the mix is outstanding making every sound stand out and shine. The vocal harmonies and chorus are just heavenly and perfectly committed.
Here you have a song you can listen to by closing your eyes and getting lost in the eternally flowing stream of euphonious and canorous music along with unrestrained words. It’s a musical journey you wish would never end.
