Daydreams are not just something children have. For some of us, we use it to escape the mundane of everyday life and to cope with its stresses when times get tough. This piano ballad is dedicated to a friend of mine who wrote the words.PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONSThough not written in the score, I encourage the pianist to use the damper pedal to bolster the harmony and create the pensive quality that piano ballads have, as well as to feel free to add your own interpretation to the solos. As for the vocal part, both males and females can sing it. The singing should feel easy, but not lacking sentiment when words or harmonies call for it, especially the funereal ending.A typical performance should last 7-8 minutes.
