Cloud has released “In My Dream,” and it sees the songwriter work with Luis Gerardo Moreno on guitar and Alex DP on drums. The three piece create something that keeps building and building. The song moves through three sections, each one getting louder and more intense than the last. It’s that quiet to loud formula that Nirvana made famous, and Cloud understands exactly why it works so well.
The guitar work here is the real star. Both Cloud and Moreno know when to hold back and when to let loose, creating these moments of stillness that make the explosive parts hit even harder. I can hear the Nirvana influence clearly especially in how Cloud uses contrast between calm and chaos to create tension.
Lyrically, “In My Dream” digs into something pretty relatable. It’s about that gap between how someone exists in your head versus who they actually are in real life. We’ve all been there, right? Building someone up in our dreams and thoughts only to face the reality that they’re different from what we imagined previously. Cloud captures both sides of that experience: how dreams can lift us up but also tear us down depending on where we are in life.
The production lets everything breathe while still packing a punch when it needs to.
