Singer Geirmund Hansen says:
“Dream Chaser” delves deep into the field of artistic development and focuses on the relentless pursuit of perfection. “Artists often strive a whole lifetime searching for something abstract, a feeling of perfection in what you do or create.„Since it’s an abstract and subjective thing, the artists‘ search for perfection often results in a lifetime of always wanting more, better, bigger and deeper. This leads to chasing something unclear and un-touchable, like a dream. It seems real and reachable, but never is.“
With themes ranging from societal disillusionment to personal growth, “Dream Chaser” offers a compelling insight into human perception. Rendezvous Point invite the listener to explore together the complexities of modern existence and the depths of emotional turmoil.
