I’ve never really believed that life is all neat and predictable. One minute you’re fine, just going about your day, and the next thing you know, uninvited feelings show up out of the blue. For a moment it can honestly feel like love has come into play. Attraction has a way of sneaking up on you like that.

I was having one of those days—the kind where if you’re lucky the tumblers click into place and save you from making a bad decision. I was lucky and managed to stay out of the mess, but that didn’t mean the feelings disappeared. I didn’t have much choice but to turn those feelings into lyrics and let them live there instead.

I’ve come to believe we don’t have much control over fate. Sometimes the magnets just snap together when you least expect it. You meet someone and it feels like you’ve known them forever. All you can do is try to control how you react while you fight the pull of gravity.

That kind of moment is exactly what I was trying to capture when I wrote In My Dreams. It was my way of making sense of that sudden connection and everything that came with it.

Honestly, I know I’m not the only one who has felt this way. There are a lot of people out there who could be thinking the same thing—I’ll see you IN MY DREAMS!
