The song Born In America is the title track of The Dreamer's Brigade's first album. This song was inspired by the movie ‘Revolution’
starring the infamous Al Pacino. I like to call this particular song my ‘freebie’, because I wrote the words and
music in a very short period of time. It was an amazing experience.
The recording of the song, however, was much more a challenge for me than the lyrics themselves. After all was said and done, there were over 20 different versions of the song
including one that incorporated a duet with a young lady I was recording at the time.
I chose the version that’s on the Born in America CD
because it had what I considered the best overall elements of the recordings, and well, because I enjoyed this version - it just felt right.
I consider the song Born in America my very own personal ‘National
Anthem'. This song supports, reiterates, and speaks to my personal belief in the creation and evolution of the ‘American Dream’.
God bless America and God bless the American Dream.
