Don't Dream It's Over (Single)

by Ben Davis & The Jetts

/

about

All proceeds of this song will be donated to the ACLU.

After months of watching the terrible news of the state of the world, Ben Davis heard a song that sparked a tinge of hope. The classic song Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House had always been a poignant yet positive ray of light across the 80’s landscape of impending nuclear war. The songs final chorus of “don’t let 'em win” kept repeating through his head as he saw one negative headline after another. It had been a long six months of not having enough time or energy to pursue much music. Long time friends and collaborators David Nesmith (Bats & Mice) and Sean Husick (Committees) provided the effort and collaboration to reimagine a version of the song. The looming US presidential election, growing racism, and a global pandemic kept Davis repeating with equal parts hope and catharsis, “don’t let 'em win”.
