nasmore ft Dana Miuccia & Neil Taylor – Safe in My Dreams (2022)

nasmore packed a fiery build of love and relationship challenges in ‘Say Goodbye’ before slithering into our brains with ‘Adrenaline Storm’. Now, with the help of Dana Miuccia and Neil Taylor, he is capturing the feeling of losing someone we hold dear and the icy chill that follows in ‘Safe in My Dreams’. With a touch of James Bond theme songs, the single takes us on a disembodied journey, viewing life from afar.

Hauntingly beautiful and a bit surreal, the single draws us into an icy world of loneliness broken only by the dreams of what could have been but never will be. The soulful vocals of Miuccia breathes life into the wisps of memories, while the guitar prowess of Taylor adds an undeniable depth to the sound. Added to nasmore’s shifting artistic style and you are left with a single that captures your senses and has you hooked from start to finish.



‘Safe in My Dreams’ yawns open, leading you to the beautifully dark tones of the piano line. There is something about this piano line that reaches into your chest and lightly squeezes your heart. As the strings enter, you are drawn into an elegant and rich soundscape. While there is an undeniable richness to the sound, there is also a floating feeling. This floating is interesting because it carries a sense of detachment like you are seeing something through a foggy window and can’t reach the other side. Halfway through the single, the melody takes a darker turn as rock vibrations join the richness. It is a rather epic melody that holds you in place and makes you want to continue listening. The blend of dark and rich is utterly perfect as is the fusion of cinematic flows and dark-pop sensibilities.

As the piano leads you into the single, Miuccia’s vocals swirl like a chilly fog across your skin. Her voice is haunting and powerful like a ghostly touch running up your spine. She effortlessly draws you into the icy loneliness of loss before turning your attention to what could have been. There is a really bittersweet feeling to her performance at times, as she considers how safe it is in your dreams compared to the harshness of reality. Her performance really does have a James Bond vibe to it and only grows in power as the single progresses.

With the help of Dana Miuccia and Neil Taylor, nasmore draws us into chilly loneliness and the bittersweet warmth of dreams in ‘Safe in My Dreams’. The melody is elegant and rich as it swirls like a fog that keeps you from the happy images on the other side. Miuccia’s vocals are incredibly rich, smooth and powerful as she balances icy loneliness with the dreams that can never be.
