about

"This was the second song written with the 'Pan' landscape in mind. Broadly speaking, it's about recapturing that sense of wonderment you had as a kid.

It's awfully hard as an adult to retain your imagination. For one, it isn't seen as an essential tool to have in your adult life. But increasingly that part of your brain is also competing with an inexhaustible amount of data on a daily basis. There is this massive excess of media, advertising, emails and social networking to contend with. Information tends to trump imagination.

I'm beginning to realise it takes active effort to place yourself in an environment where imagination can thrive. I hope to find it more often."

-- Brett Winterford

lyrics

LYRICS

Hey make believer
What you dreaming up tonight?
A picture perfect carpet ride
Through crescent moon lit skies

Hey make believer
I'll be sure to meet you there
On the muddy banks of the Murray Darling
Nymphs all dancing bare

Today it's getting hard to quit the urge to think
To exist beyond the walls of reason
We're so conditioned to the search for meaning
The sweetest feelin
Best you make believe it

Hey make believer
If the world is made of wool
We'll be diving off over mountaintops cascading into pools

Hey make believer
They wait for us to come
The enchanted ones
With love for everyone

When you've forgotten how to breathe in
It'll take you to the place you're needing
