The Unthanks - A Dream For You (Radio 2’s 21st Century Folk)

The Unthanks perform ‘A Dream For You’ to Katie Toner, the woman who inspired the song.
Angeline Morrison wrote the song for Katie as part of 21st Century Folk, Radio 2’s series that sees five people have songs written about their lives.
Angeline met Katie to hear what life is like for a neurodivergent person. Katie’s own experiences inspired her to organise inclusive parties and sleepovers, where all children are celebrated.
To hear Katie’s full story, find 21st Century Folk on BBC Sounds: www.bbc.co.uk/...
The song is performed by Rachel Unthank, Becky Unthank and Adrian McNally of The Unthanks.
Recorded at Simpson Street Studios in Thropton, Northumberland. Produced by 7digital for the BBC.

Oh everyone loves a sunshine day
And to dance in the warmth of the light
Oh but sometimes those skies
Are too much for your eyes
And you long for the peace of the night
And at celebrations how everyone loves
To laugh and to shout and to cheer
Oh but sometimes these cheers
Are too much for your ears
And you long to be anywhere but here
When it's all crowding in
And the world starts to spin
That's when i will make
A dream for you
I will make a dream for you
There's 8 billion people all moving around
On the Earth
(Moving around as the Earth spins around and around)
You're one in a million amongst all these billions
And it's so true that there's none like you
When everyone's talking and talking away
and they chatter and twitter like birds
Oh but sometimes the meaning
Flies out of your hands
And you drown in a torrent of words
When it's all crowding in
And the world starts to spin
That's when i will make
A dream for you
I will make a dream for you
I will make a dream for you
I will make a dream for you
A dream for you
