Foxborough (Dream Turned Lie)

from From A Different Angle by John Ian

/

about

I wrote this song after seeing Bruce Springsteen live in Foxborough in 2016. It ended a long period of writer's block and "musical depression". Springsteen was the reason I started writing songs as a teenager and will forever be linked to my own music because of that.

lyrics

4000 miles, 4000 miles to go
Not sure what it is, not sure how I know
That this time it's gonna last
Cause in the past
It all turned into dust
As soon as I tried to touch it, I must
Find a way to hold on, hold on, hold on

Has this dream turned into a lie
Has this dream turned into a lie
Has this dream turned into a lie
Has this dream turned into a lie
Has this dream turned into a lie
Has this dream turned into a lie
