SAINT MOTEL - 'Daydream/Wetdream/Nightmare' Official Music Video

Directed by Sidsel Wittendorff Sørensen

I like to think that the man is really married to a mermaid, and the lines at the end are actually saying 'Wake up, wake up' because the fisherman is having a nightmare about his wife leaving him when in reality she's right there and loves him despite their differences. I'm also a big fan of happy endings lmao.

It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions. Depending the amount will result in a negative or positive charge, attracting or repelling...brilliant analogy in this song, as well as sounding beautiful.

the wet dream part gives me chills everytime.

[juanjosemier]

This could be three separate songs and all of them would be amazing

[LeDésespéré]

To me the song tells a story of a sailor who loves the sea and his wife. The sea returns his love but his wife doesn't and in fact cheats on him with another man. When the sailor returns to his house, he sees the two together and in his anger attacks the man, but his wife knocks him out and then together, the sailor's wife and her lover dump him in the sea. The sailor has always loved the sea, and the sea has loved him, so she gives him another chance at life, another chance at love. He is reborn now with someone he loves, and someone who loves him back, ie the mermaid.

It's a really beautiful song...

I wonder how much music there is and was out there that we haven't heard But you know, not just music, but movies, books, and just anything in life that we haven't been exposed to and or experienced It makes me wonder how much I'm missing out on How many points of view, how many perspectives, how many opinions,  how we are influenced by all our surroundings It's a trip when you think about it That's all I've got, goodbye and have a good one

Lyrics:

It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

I could die a happy man if I could be with you
Behind this eyes, I believe fantasies can come true
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

Find the time to be the man that you like to talk to
In dreams it seems, I can be anyone you want me to
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions
It's in the ions, ions, ions, ions

Love me, hold me
Find me, on the off-beat
Hold my hand, say I'm your man
Take me down to the promised land

Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh

Sunlight, moonbeams
Your hands inside my dreams
Hold me close, don't let go
The promised land, away we go

Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh
Oohh Ohhhh

Home is where the heart is
Down by the neighbor kids
Back where we use our given names

Sweet, sweet curiosity
Led me to this here street
Please don't make this go away

Don't wake up, wake up, wake up

Here, we can do as we please
Ohhh living free
Oh take it day by day

Sweet, sweet curiosity
Led me to this here street
Please don't make this go away

Don't wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wake up, wake up, wake up

[neocrash]

God I love that middle section from 1:40 - 3:11. I need an extended version of just that.

[krosey]

Will always be my favorite Saint Motel song. Sad they don't play it live as often anymore.

[theladyscuttle]

I am so happy I stumbled upon this band yesterday.... Better late than never!

[ElizabethBones]

Am I wrong to think that in the ending she remains a mermaid because he is still "asleep"? The "don't wake up" part makes me think he hasn't woken up because he's dead.

[leslied.]

I had a dream of our brake up, twice.. i didnt believe it until it happen. she left me for someone else. then i started having nightmares of it and would wake up late at night with my heart pounding in my chest. she was my first and we lasted for 8yrs. but its more than a year now and i have moved on but somewhere inside me still wants her. guess i just have to live with it.

[Jo-chilin]

This gave me a little bit of a Beatles vibe, man I love saint motel so much

[lanier]

Man, what a beautiful song. The song arrangement reminds of The Beatles with the interesting breaks and the added, unexpected piece at the end that did not even need to be added but when added makes it a classic. This song will be listened to by folks 100 years from now, it's that good. Saint Motel makes some crap songs too, but they hit a grand slam with this one which many artists will never achieve in a lifetime of trying,

[tasterama]

this song and video are both so amazing and beautiful the end always gives me chills!

[dingo]

By far my favorite saint motel song omg 😁😁😁 so underrated

[m.]

Their best and most underrated song period.

[honeycalamansi]

the more i listen to saint motel, the more i feel like they have been with me throughout my life up until today. their sound has this nostalgic quality that i really like and i'm disappointed that i found them on 2020 but just started listening to their other stuff just recently.

better late than never i guess?

[missmoney]

i love the transition from daydream to wet dream so much

[nathanielszczerbinski]

I love how much they put that stank on it at 2:00. I rewind that part atleast 3 x's. I love it so much
