Dreamer
Written by Cotten Wilburn 2007
Moon over Hill Music
Lie awake in the world of Dreams,
Just to sojourn in another sphere,
Reality, void, or something in between.
Just watching on as the lights appear.
Taking from nothing, what doesn’t exist.
As the colors rage, a thought is born.
I snatch the dream from the great abyss,
embrace the essence, and give it form.
I am a Dreamer, I walk in the night.
Out in the black, I find the light.
Awake in the world, to give her the dream.
It is what it is, it's not as it seams.
Leave it to chance in the hands of the mortals.
To joke in their folly, and laugh as they marvel.
I am the Dreamer, I move in the night.
Out of the darkness, I bring delight.
My name is Randy Wilburn commonly referred to as Cotten by my friends and family, actually the government knows me as Randy and every time I talk to them it cost me money and the only thing I get in return is pissed off. But I’m writing this because I play guitar and write songs. I spend untold hours recording and mixing on protools and making MP3s. I’d like to hook up with other talent and share music and ideas. I’m in southern middle Tennessee. Have a rig, a van, and freedom and I’m not afraid to use them. I’m pretty much independently impoverished, honest, and a dreamer. The result being a slightly dark edge to my song writing from trusting people I shouldn’t have and believing in things that didn’t happen. But just about anybody can do sex, drugs, and rock & roll. So a little depth is good too. I’m not a leader or a follower I’m a “get the hell out of the way”er. There are way too many idiots around to take sides and I’m really not smart enough to figure out who is who. Besides I got my own gig to take care of. But if your cause wins and they don’t kill me in the cross fire I might write a song about their exploits. I dig quality and durability no matter what ever the style. Be yourself, be strong, good health, and live long. - Cotten
What Kind of Soul Are You?
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I really tend to gravitate to creative people with big dreams and no money.My first choice would be a 29 year old female rock star nymphomaniac that thinks my music is the best thing since fire. And Jesus... I'd probably need him after the rock star.
