“In a Dream” by Troye Sivan + Dreaming Playlist, Wednesday, May 15, 2024

 

In a Dream is Troye Sivan’s 2020 break-up EP. We’ve looked at Sivan’s breakup with model Jacob Bixenman in our discussion of the song “Easy.” Rather than giving his audience a full heartbreaking album, Sivan condenses what could be an album of material into 4 of the 7 tracks on the deluxe edition of the extended play. Sivan was certainly due in 2020 for a full album, but with the pandemic and the anxiety listeners already had, four songs might have been a mercy on his listenership. Singles between In a Dream and his 2023 third album Something to Give Each Other, explored the heartbreak a little more but moved on to party mode on last year’s album. Today, we’re going to explore the world of the subconscious as I update my Dreaming playlist. The song “In a Dream” is about a dream Troye had of his ex. He told NME that the intense dream woke the singer up crying. Today, we’ll listen to other dreamy songs--hopefully nothing of nightmares.
