We have only come to dream is a sonic rendering of human migration to the Americas. The time span covered is from approximately 50,000 years ago through the late 19th century. My hope is to challenge todays political discourse from exclusionary nationalism and xenophobia with a musical narrative that illustrates the diversity of the numerous ethnic groups that came to inhabit the Americas. In short, living in a country with a combative leader who continually demonstrates historical illiteracy requires us to step up our game by understanding and celebrating our diversity.

Early reviews lavish praise on We Have Only Come To Dream

“We have only come to dream. . .” a collaboration between Terry Lee Nichols and Rebekah Eden, is ultra-rich, deep, wide, vast, and an utterly gorgeous album through and through. It is easily imagined as an epic film score. The arrangements, including the vocal arrangements by Eden, are spectacular. Her ethereal and shimmering soprano vocals are interwoven into many of the songs, giving them a magical, other-worldly feel… Even if you didn’t know or care about what “We only came to dream. . .” is about in terms of its deeply thematic premises, if you enjoy cinematic music, this one is at the very top of its game. Here we are nudged on every level to remember who we are and to care about it. Memorable, impressive, and highly recommended.

We Have Only Come To Dream is a stunnig release from Terry Lee Nichols and Rebekah Eden. The collaboration is literally a match made in heaven. Once you hear this recording you will think you just arrived at the pearly gates. The premise of the album is not about the heavens above but how we have come to treasure on the land below… If there is one album to make sure you get this year it is We Have Only Come To Dream. Anyone that enjoys instrumental music that immerses you in a soundscape and the atmospheres of days long past, this is the recording to listen to! 5/5 Stars
