"Just Dream" is a song by English vocalist Carol Decker of the band T'Pau, released as a non-album download-only single in 2007. It was written by Decker and T'Pau's ex-rhythm guitarist Ron Rogers. The song was produced by Decker, Rogers and Jez Ashurst. ==Background== The single was released as a one-off single from Decker and Rogers, who both wrote the majority of T'Pau's material. After successfully pursuing separate careers in performing, writing and production, Decker and Rogers had begun writing together again, culminating in the release of "Just Dream". This was following a 15-year break, partly connected to the breakdown of their own 13-year relationship. The song was Decker's first release of new material since the 1998 T'Pau album ''Red'', which was Decker's own re-formation of the original group who split in 1991. Ashurst, who was involved with producing "Just Dream", had worked with Decker previously on the ''Red'' album. It was Decker's first single release as a solo artist since 1995's "One Heart", which had peaked at #130 in the UK. "Just Dream" was released to coincide with T'Pau's 20th anniversary, however was not a commercial success. For This is not Retro, Decker was interviewed in September 2007. The first question asked "You haven't released a solo single since ''"One Heart" in 1995, so what were the circumstances behind you wanted to do "Just Dream" under your own name this time around?"'' Decker replied ''"I have always wanted to use Carol Decker as I feel that T'Pau was the 6 of us back then but that's over. Since then I was persuaded - against my better judgement - to continue to use the name as it was a known brand..."'' When asked if it is a relief to drop the T'Pau name, Decker stated ''"Yes it is. It means a lot to me to not appear to be trying to hang on to something that was from a long time ago."'' Decker was asked ''"How important is it that the single is a commercial success? Do you have any particular expectations or ambitions for the project?"'' Decker responded ''"I would love it to be a commercial success but I doubt it will be... that's not to say I don't think the track is good, I think it's great, but I don't have the financial muscle of a big company behind me any more so it is really difficult to actually let people know that the music is out there. I certainly want to try though!"'' When asked about more solo material, Decker stated ''"Absolutely. In fact I have a new idea for something as we speak!"'' She was also asked about a tour, and she stated ''"Yes, but it would be after I have a reasonable amount of new tracks to add to the set, to make it more interesting for all of us!"''〔 When asked was it intentional for the song to sound different compared to previous T'Pau material, but still maintain Decker's unique sound, Decker stated ''"No... I just sound like me, whatever I do but we did have this great contemporary feel to the backing..."'' Additionally, she was asked if there were any plans for full dance treatment remixes of the song. She stated ''"It would be nice if someone from that genre approached me with an idea... to be completely honest I wouldn't have a clue!"''〔 In a 2007 interview with Johnny Ikon, Decker revealed that for the future she wished to continue working on music with Rogers, and touring for as long as she can. She stated "By October each year, touring slows down and I just don't ever want to sing again, then two weeks in the studio and cabin fever sets in and I'm dying to perform the new stuff!" Decker also revealed that following the "Just Dream" single, along with the 2008 download-only single "Don't Stop Believin'" by Decker and Lazy Grace, an extended play was being created that she and Rogers were working on. When Ikon asked what will follow that, Decker revealed the idea for a full album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Just Dream」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
