I had experienced a dream - of two songs (listed below) combined into a rather unique, yet seemingly familiar blend of audio:
* The 1966 'Walker Brothers' song, 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore.'
* The 1978 'Electric Light Orchestra' (ELO) song, 'Sweet Talkin' Woman.'
In the dream, was a singer (who looked familiar to me personally) who was singing on a stage these two songs blended together - with what might have been two differnt bands performing in the background. These two songs are stilll periodically played on radio-stations to this day.
On a whim, I had entered the two songs mentioned in the ^above^ dream into a site that applies recommender algorithms - that is recommendations are made based-on user preferences.
Sure enough, one of many songs recommended was singer Gerry Rafferty's 1978 song,
'Right Down the Line' (extended version).
My dream featured the song
'Right Down the Line' playing. The scene in the dream included a little-known album cover to
'Right Down the Line' - the cover featuring train-tracks through the woods of trees just changing into their Autumn colors. This album cover picture is avaliable online.
The first several seconds of 'Right Down the Line' featured an animated scene of a person who resembeled 'Gerry Rafferty' walking, and dancing up the train tracks to the beat of
Right Down the Line's opening instrumental portion - a clear reference to this little-known album cover. I was also visiting New England one-weekend (with the changing Autumn colors) around the time when 'Right Down the Line' was played on the radio often.
This dream took a comical, third person perspective; as the person resembling Rafferty dancing, and walking and up the train-tracks was me. Just as Rafferty began singing, and also walking, and dancing right behind me on the other side of the tracks, I had preceeded to motion my hands to introduce Mr. Rafferty, while quickly running into-the-woods, to quickly turn over the scene to Mr. Rafferty - an awesome singer who left us too soon!
