No matter who you are, life brings its struggles, worries, and conflict. Yet sun and leaves make dappled light, rivers flow, people heal, and forgive, and beauty has a way of nudging through the noise in a persistent whisper. "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming," inspired by The Bombadils’ time spent living by the St. Lawrence River in Montreal's borough of Verdun, is about holding onto beauty in the small things, finding rest in it, wondering where it comes from, and hoping it's not all a dream.
In “Tell My I’m Not Dreaming,” The Bombadils’ Luke Fraser and Sarah Frank collaborate with Halifax harp-player Ellen Gibling, and Ethan Jodziewicz out of Nashville, on bass. This arrangement finds a sweet spot between Gibling’s harp and Fraser’s guitar, allowing the hopeful lyrics to rest on river-like waves of sound, sensitively captured and mixed by co-producer Graeme Campbell.
