Dream Interrupted

I set out with the goal of making a goth rock track this week because I've been listening to a lot of Lycia. Their style is actually more slow and broody than this, but when I was researching the aesthetics of goth rock in preparation for this track I found out that root of goth music comes from the punk/post-punk era. I had also noticed with some bands that the drum track is either a drum machine or it's a pretty bread and butter rock beat. So to make things easier on myself this week I just used some of the canned beats that addictive drummer offers so I could focus on those goth rock guitar and bass tones. This ended up being way, way, way more upbeat and "cheery" than I planned but I'm pretty happy with the general result. My chorus and my prog section (of course there's a prog section) pulled away from the goth aesthetic but it is what it is.
Fun fact: The name is a little bit of a play on words, as in the Dream being referenced is the Dream from Sandman. Dream is a pretty gothy looking dude so I thought it was appropriate.
