Gypsy Roller, a published Rock ‘n Roll artist on multiple platforms has taken us by storm with this beautifully written ballad, “Dream.” Be prepared with some tissues before you dare listen to this gut-wrenching song that will tug at your heartstrings. Speaking of strings, this lovely song includes what sounds like a full orchestra, piano, and a kicking guitar solo by Erik Schramm. What makes this song so special, however, is the vocals by Gypsy Roller (AKA Gil Soliz), who puts all of his emotions into this heartfelt creation in combination with Adam Rossi’s brilliant ‘70s nostalgic production style and talented piano playing.
