Exclusive Interview with Eileen Carey
What is the new single, "Dreaming With Me" about?
The song is about how the magic of inspiration starts with one person. "Dreaming with Me," brings out a sense of inspiration, inciting the feeling that a positive impact can happen with just one person. It demonstrates the magic that an individual can make on the world. The lyrics state, “You look at me, I’m suddenly a rock star, just like you are,” and that is exactly what we hope the listener will realize- that they have the influence to make those around them feel special by being authentically who they are. After all, the song says it best, “You bring out the magic in me."
