KAT KOAN – Berlin Songstress Drops New Romantic Single ‘DREAM GIRL’ For Charity

13 December 2023

Berlin-based songstress KAT KOAN released her arresting debut album
LUSTPRINZIP last year. This year, she recorded/shared two rad singles,
Slow and You’re So Cool

And here’s number three, named DREAM GIRL.
A special one, as all profits from the track go to
UNICEF.

The song is co-written with Freddie Dickson and a producer friend
from Florida, Howard Merlin. Dream Girl is a romantic reverie with
near-whispering vocals by Koan, sensual as ever.

Lyrics

I wish, I wish you could have seen
that wide-eyed girl I was in my dream
you’d see her sparkle for a mile,
you’d want to dive into that smile
So light, so light her feet off the ground
she’s floating, and she is roaming around
her hair dancing free and wild in the wind
brushing against her soft bare skin
I didn’t catch her by her name but we played her little game
She was a dream girl
Made me feel as though it matters what I do, what I do
She was a dream girl
threw me a vision of a carefree life then cut me loose, cut me loose

The taste of honey on her lips
and the whole wide world at her fingertips,
her tummy full of butterflies
you’d want to dive into those eyes
you should have seen how she can play. Oh we had a grand old day
She was a dream girl
Made me feel as though it matters what I do, what I do
She was a dream girl
threw me a vision of a carefree life then cut me loose, cut me loose.

That wide-eyed girl in my dream, that wide-eyed girl in my dream

Made me feel as though it matters what i do, what I do
threw me a vision of a carefree life then cut me loose, cut me loose
She was a dream girl
