about

Delilah Clark was a singer in the 80's band, MPC & the Instigators. They had 2 hits: Boston Nights, and Dreamin. They got a call from a prominent producer from NYC in the 80's, asking recording rights for Dreamin by the band INXS, but it never happened because two of the band members in the Instigators would not agree to the terms ... ahhh ... the wisdom in hindsight: if only Delilah was mature enough at 22 to say "yes" to a golden opportunity. It took 47 years to say yes in 2019, so here's the song, remastered. I'll try pitching it to TV/Film this time ...

lyrics

Woke up in the morning with a fever
I was thinking about you
God I gotta get up get my senses
Catch my breath before I'm blue
I was woken by the thought of you touching me
Felt so good I knew you had to be next to me
And I knew that I was dreamin
Knew that I was only dreamin

Went out to a party I was wishin' that I'd catch a glimpse of you
Standing in a corner felt my heart jump
When my eyes caught up with you
Felt the blood rush to my head and up & down my spine
Knowing that tonight your body would be next to mine
And I knew that I was dreamin
Knew that I was only dreamin

Went out the movies catch a picture
See you sitting in the show
Wanted you so badly I could taste it
I just wanted you to know
In a moment felt your presence overcoming me
With your hand in mine so much in love
I could not see
And I knew that I was dreamin
Knew that I was only dreamin
AndI knew that I was dreamin
Knew that I was only dreamin

The mind of a 22-year old wrote this song after watching too many Elvis Presley movies, along with Gidget, Connie Francis, Doris Day, and Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire as a lonely child.

about

DeVora Delilah Clark Macon, Georgia

Delilah Clark was a New Wave Boston guitar chick in the 80's with two noteworthy songs, "Dreamin" and "Boston Nights". In the 90's, she formed a Blues band in Nashville, TN. But then G-d showed her the Light and she's been returning to El Shaddai ever since. For awhile, she identified with her Hebrew first name, but that all changed when she married in 2017. Still rockin on! ... more
