From the EP of the same name, When Dreams End showcases the moving and thoughtful songwriting and performance style of country folk artist Chris St John on a bright yet refreshingly honest high.
Beginning with delicacy of set-up and intention, the song evolves through multiple layers of organic instrumental warmth, and slowly increases the presence of these poetic and personal ideas in equal parts.
Ultimately a story of longing, adoration and connection, When Dreams End floats through as largely optimistic, standing tall on positivity and hope, but arrives with just a hint of melancholy and uncertainty to help reinforce the need for those qualities.
Mentions of the crazy world and of sin pierce through an otherwise colourful soundscape in a relatable way, and afterwards the song goes on to resolve beautifully – leaving the listener feeling contemplative yet capable of handling whatever tomorrow brings.
