PREMIERE: SABRINA CARMEN “DREAMING WIDE AWAKE”
In Sabrina Carmen’s exquisite, poised voice, poetic lyrical ideas invited us to an ethereal wonderland with magic and dreams. Reminded of the stunning view at sunset by the shore, “Dreaming Wide Awake” has a calm, healing quality of the ocean on top of its mellow, epic sonic environment. Lana Del Ray-inspired nostalgic flavor is the perfect embellishment.
“Sitting under the stars, in a sea of lights; compass of my hearts, navigate the skies.” A sense of innocence raises as the wandering eyes linger as if seeing the world for the first time. Under the nightlight, by the ocean, where the fairytales and dreams savored in memories.

“Dreaming Wide Awake” has a youthful, adventurous spirit that always searches for more. “The great unknown, where oceans flow, I ride the higher tide Painted dreams, and fantasies, open up my eyes.” There’s always more than what meets the eyes. One’s experience with the spiritual realm is often connected with one’s relationship to nature. Ocean’s mystery and secret whispers reach out to us in feelings and dreams.
“If I wake tonight, it may be the last time Two worlds intertwined, meet me at the divide If I wake tonight (it may be the last time) Fighting with my mind…” As intrigued by the secret of the universe, the struggle to trust our instinct or simply relying on what meets the eyes is the journey of spiritual awakening, but once the eyes are open, can one really return to the darkness?
