But as life evolved with a wife, kids and the everyday punch of reality, the dream didn\u2019t die, it transformed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDreams don\u2019t die but they grow and change. And then if you\u2019re lucky, maybe you don\u2019t have to go at them alone,\u201d says frontman Chaz Stead, elaborating on the song\u2019s theme.\u00a0<\/p>\n The music video includes childhood home video footage to reflect how \u201cold dreams evolve alongside new lives yet remain alive at the core.\u201d<\/p>\n Subscribe to Cleveland Scene newsletters.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Follow us:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Google News<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>NewsBreak<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Reddit<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Instagram<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Facebook\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/a>|\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Twitter<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/p>\nRelated<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
