"The Way You Dream" - from 1 Giant Leap featuring Michael Stipe, Asha Bhosle, Tim Booth, & more

"... no christ, no budha, no priest, no rabbi, no guru can do it for you. You have to develop your own 'one-on-one relationship' with the mystery; with the divine ..."


The Way You Dream is my all time favorite song that I've played over and over for about 10 years now.  It still moves me deeply every single time.  If I ever meet someone who is as moved by this song as I am, it's all over... I know I will have found my new partner in life.  Music is everything.

The 1 Giant Leap and What About Me? films are exceptional and were done by Duncan Bridgeman and James Catto as a true labor of love over several years traveling the world seeking out the brightest and most innovative talent. You can find it easily by searching.

And if I may be even more personal, this song has been instructed to be played after my passing when I shed my skin suit and continue on my journey. It continues to move me in life and in death.

I will NEVER tire of the song, The Way You Dream from the 1 Giant Leap documentary.

It features the singing of REM front man Michael Stipe and Asha Bhosle and slipped under my radar when it was originally made in 2000, but found it's way to me a few years ago. When I first saw the documentary I was actually haunted by this song for weeks. Do you ever hear a song or see a good film and it stays on your mind for days? Love when that happens. This particular song weaves its way throughout the doc. And there are many other good songs, too.

Imagine taking musical and spoken voices from around the world and blending them into a poetic, sonic mix. 1 Giant Leap is a Giant Loop of planetary sounds and soulful reflections on everything from Sex to the Sacred.

1 Giant Leap DVD features: Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Hopper, Ram Dass, Tom Robbins, Anita Roddick, Brian Eno, Michael Stipe (REM), Robbie Williams, Neneh Cherry, Speech (Arrested Development), Stewart Copeland, Baaba Maal, Michael Franti, and many more.

Download this song and prepare to be enchanted. You'll thank me later. - 1 Giant Leap - The Way You Dream
