The Bizarre Dream That Inspired “Déjà Vu”

April 1, 2025

It was a chilly night in November when the dream first came to me, vivid and strange, like a movie playing in my mind. I remember falling asleep with the sounds of my guitar strumming softly in the background, the notes floating around me like whispers. As I drifted into slumber, I found myself standing in a crowd of thousands, bright stage lights illuminating my face. I was about to perform one of my songs, and the energy in the air was electric. But as I began to sing, the scene suddenly shifted, and I was in a dark tunnel, feeling lost and confused. This was not just a dream; it felt like a message, something significant trying to break through.

Each night, the dream returned, becoming more vivid with every passing day. The tunnel represented my struggles in the music industry—endless rejections, failed auditions, and moments when I felt like I was losing my passion. But the moment I emerged from that tunnel into the light, where the music resonated with the crowd, was the hope I desperately clung to. I woke up each morning feeling like I had a glimpse of my future, something I was determined to chase, no matter how difficult the path might be.

Inspired by this dream, I began to write a new song, pouring all my feelings into it. I titled it “Déjà Vu,” not just because of the repeated dream, but also because it spoke to those moments in life when you feel like you’ve been there before, experiencing a sense of familiarity intertwined with the fear of uncertainty. The lyrics flowed from my heart, capturing the confusion and longing for connection. It was as if the dream had unlocked a door within me, allowing the melodies and words to spill out like a river.

When I finally recorded “Déjà Vu,” it felt like a culmination of everything I had been through. The song was not just about my journey; it resonated with anyone who had ever faced a challenge or felt lost. The response was overwhelming. People reached out, sharing how the song gave them hope during their difficult times. It was in those moments that I realized the true power of music—it wasn’t just about me; it was about connecting with others and uplifting their spirits.

That dream changed everything for me. It fueled my fire to keep going, even when the road was rocky. As “Déjà Vu” climbed the charts, I reflected on my journey and the bizarre dream that sparked it all. I learned that sometimes, the struggles lead you to the brightest lights, and each setback can inspire a powerful comeback. Not only did that dream shape my career—it shaped me as an artist and as a person. Now, every time I perform the song, I remember that dark tunnel and the light I found on the other side, knowing that anyone can overcome their own struggles and find their way back to joy through resilience and passion.
