About Wildest Dreams

"Wildest Dreams" is a song recorded by American recording artist Brandy for her sixth studio album, Two Eleven (2012). It was written by Sean Garrett, Justin Henderson and Christopher Whitacre, with production helmed by Henderson and Whitacre under their production moniker Tha Bizness. "Wildest Dreams" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad which was inspired by R&B music from the 1990s and has lyrics which speak about the disbelief for finding love again. It was inspired by Norwood finding love with music executive Ryan Press. Garrett, who wrote nine songs for Two Eleven, noticed the Norwood and Press's connection and adapted the lyrics for "Wildest Dreams". The song was released for digital download on August 28, 2012, serving as the second single from the album. It managed to peak at number 68 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart but failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top twenty of the South Korean Gaon Chart. An accompanying music video for "Wildest Dreams", directed by American photographer Matthew Rolston, was filmed in Los Angeles, California in October 2012 and released to a positive reception by reviewers the following month.

Oh, never, hey
Never, oh, never hey
Never, oh, never hey
Never, oh, never

Out in an unknown place
Kinda like that feels
You came in my life and held me here
Just in the nick of time
When I lacked the will
To keep on moving on
You've been in my dreams, but from now
Couldn't figure out the reasons
I kept asking God why
And now I'm receiving abundance of love
And I get it,
But never could imagine it

Never in my wildest dreams, no, no, no
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional (sometimes)
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams (never in my life)
Did I think someone could care about me
(It's so beautiful)
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional (sometimes)
Not in, not in, not in, my wildest dreams
Never, never, oh, never hey
Never, never, oh, never hey
Never, never, oh, never hey

It's hard to hold back tears,
Whenever you hold me close
I think about the years
I spent saying this is all I want
Just wanted someone real to love me for me, me
Just Brandy
It seemed I had it all, that's what they thought
But I feeling like pain all over
Had to cover up the hurt (hurt, hurt)
Uh, I was sold many, nothing loved me
But I want love like this

Never in my wildest dreams,
(Never in my wildest dreams)
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
(So beautiful)
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
(So emotional)
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams
(Couldn't have came in a better time)
Did I think someone could care about me
(Not the way that you do)
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams

I'll give all I have, for exchange
To have someone who love me for me
(Anything can be replaced)
Not love
There ain't no replacement, it either is or it ain't

Never in my wildest dreams
(Never in my life, no)
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
(No beautiful)
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
(You know how I get)
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams, never in my life
Did I think someone could care about me
Not just the way you love me
(It's not just the way you love me)
You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in, my wildest dreams

Brandy

Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks, while some are simply coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging (and some brandies are produced using a combination of both aging and colouring). more »
