“Dream Song” is a Widespread Panic original.
‘Dream Song’ was a lullabye that Mike wrote... to his child, Waker, when he was a baby. I'm not even sure if he wrote the words or if JB took an idea, lyrically, that Mike had, and actually wrote the words. It's a beautiful song. It's one I get to play fretless on.
