Black Dreams 04:16
Something’s been happening lately Just can’t figure it out Can’t sleep All I do is dream In darkness It’s dark So Can you help? You know I just can’t take it Can’t take the darkness And dreams Colliding Like stars Up above I don’t understand Why I’m blind In the night I wanna see the colours All I want is to see the light The lights Turn up the lights baby I’m ready to discover But I’m always hiding Every night I’m always hiding I guess that’s why That’s why I’m having these Black dreams They’re no ordinary Dark schemes That’s why I’m having these Black dreams They’re no ordinary Dark schemes And I want you to show me Somebody else That’s why I’m having these lonely Black dreams They’re no ordinary Dark schemes They’re why I’m having these Black dreams I wanna see the colours Shine on me Shine on me I’m ready to discover To discover Hiding from the light Hiding from the light From the light

How You Will 04:02
How you will become what you are And how you’ll see your shining star Will take all your life All your Life

What if I told you I was crazy What if I told you I was blind What if I said that I was sorry, again Would you have kept me on the line? When you rang I should have told you everything Oh when you rang I knew you wouldn’t understand What if told you I was cheating What if I said I’m not your guy What if I told you just to hang up your phone Would you have even wondered why? When you rang I knew you wouldn’t understand Oh when you rang When you rang Don’t be mad at me I’ll tell you the truth honestly Don’t be mad at me I’ll tell you the truth now When you rang (I should have told you everything) I should have told you everything (Honestly) (I knew you wouldn’t understand) Oh When you rang (I should have told you everything) I knew you wouldn’t understand (I knew you wouldn’t understand)

I love the things you do And all the things you tell me too I love the way you move yourself It’s how I know it’s you and no one else If you wanna stay the night Hold me like you mean it And If you wanna light up my life Love me like I need it I’m looking forward to Doing all the things that lovers do, to you Just love the way you move yourself It’s only you there’s no one else If you wanna stay the night Hold me like you mean it And If you wanna light up my life Love me like I need it

Private Time 04:07
Got some shit I’ve got to do It’s time that you got up to go But I don’t want you be alone So you can call me up on the phone I need my private time Oh why, why why? I’ll always love you I need my private time Oh why, why why why? I’ll always love you I need my private time Maybe some day I’ll come looking for you I know that you want me to Pretty young thing I’m just searching for a Higher love Got some shit I’ve got to do It’s time that you got up to go But I don’t want you be alone So you can call me up on the phone I need my private time Oh why, why why? I’ll always love you I need my private time Oh why, why why why? I’ll always love you You know that I need my private time I need my private time
9.
Tell me straight to my face you don’t want me in your space And I’ll leave you alone But if you want me later on you can’t have me cause I’ll be gone I ain’t coming home I’m not coming home, no Cause there’s no way in hell babe I’m not sleepin’ alone I’m not sleepin’ alone I’ve been up all night can’t sleep when we fight pillows on the floor I can’t take this any more When you tell me no I just can’t let go if night was day I might decide to stay but not today

about

Nestled within the fields and forests surrounding Oslo you’ll find Raaja Bones. There, in Raaja’s secluded studio surrounded by vintage synthesisers, modular equipment, samplers and drum machines, is where he makes music that owes as much to his personal tastes as it does his identity and upbringing. ‘Black Dreams’, is where this venn diagram of influences overlap, from the shimmer of e-funk and the effortless grooves of soul to the unashamed, heartfelt honesty of 80s pop.

‘Black Dreams’, marks the final chapter of Raaja’s three record storyline. It’s honest, at times reflective, an album recorded through times of despair and of great love that forced Raaja to reflect on his past and, ultimately, find his groove in the present over ten tracks.
