SONG PICK: Aly Jett - Bad Dreams

While “Reverie”, one of Aly Jett‘s previous singles featured a melodic piano backdrop, she changes gears drastically in “Bad Dreams”, replacing the mellow piano with fierce guitars and steady percussions. Alone her soft, appealing vocals provide a reprieve from the feeling of unease. We reached out to the California-based singer/songwriter and asked her for some context. Aly replied to us and explains:

Bad Dreams was created after having a dream that really haunted me. I wanted to create a sound that would match the feeling of fear I had when I woke up that morning. I enjoy listening to this song, especially because it’s one of my first songs to have a defined guitar solo part. It really helped me get over the visuals of that terrible dream.

Ugh, sounds like quite a nightmare! Mission accomplished though because “Bad Dreams” keeps the listener on the edge while simultaneously luring us in and keeping us under the song’s spell. Well done!
