With his single, “Everybody” off of his newest album “Hello,” acclaimed indie alternative rock artist Big Bus Dream delivers a heartfelt performance that pertains to those who prey on the dreams of artists.
Mike Shannon is known professionally by the moniker Big Bus Dream. His sounds are as sparkling as those of a self-produced maverick with a tenacious drive that dominates the scene. His catalog thus far, impressive both in quality and quantity, is a product of relentless hard work, self-drive, insatiable passion, and unwavering commitment to his art and craft. Influenced by today’s wave of self-sufficient artists, Big Bus Dream has independently evolved, with a somewhat permanent theme and motto of “Trust the process” acting as a hallmark from the underdog to the veteran. The brand Big Bus Dream calls out the intimidation of artists in the making and preaches overriding the odds, no matter the walk of life.
“Hello,” the sequel to his “C’mon Dream” album, has been well received, earning critical praise from the music press and impressive streaming views from fans. With a transcendental body of work that continues Big Bus Dream’s legacy of creating music with artistic integrity, vision, and emotional depth, it is little wonder why that has been the case.
“Everybody” is a single from this album, and it sees Big Bus Dream passionately condemn all those out to benefit from artists’ work other than the artists themselves. He lyrically calls out those dream stealers who come with all manner of promises to help artists grow, get those streams up, and expand their brand to global recognition, only to end up being predators who prey on artists’ hard work and talent.
Big Bus Dream takes a direct and honest approach to the subject matter in a masterpiece. The truth of the matter is, none of these individuals are really sincere, nor do they have the artists’ backs. Most of the time, this is simply an attempt to profit from the hard work and dedication of artists.
Bass-driven, “Everybody” has an undeniable stylistic caliber of roots music with a stunning folk-rock structure. Big Bus Dream’s honeyed vocals excel in poetic storytelling as he hits the nail on the head over this expressive concoction that is amplified by the impeccably struck guitars, exquisite riffs here and there, and driving percussion to give this jam a memorable feel.
This is music composition at its finest and a classic example of what Big Bus Dream is capable of producing; music that is not only authentic but also has undeniable emotional depth.
