"Curse Of The Dreamer" is a 2025 single by John Michael Howell that explores themes of unrequited or impossible love and the refuge found in dreams.
Key aspects of the song include:
Lyrical Theme: The song centers on a person who is in love with someone they cannot be with in real life. To cope with this "harsh truth" and protect themselves from heartbreak, they choose to live out the relationship in their dreams.
Creative Inspiration: Howell created the track as a challenge to write a song in the style of the artist BoyWithUke centered on the specific topic of a "curse". It features prominent ukulele melodies, piano, and layered background vocals.
Narrative Concepts: In promotional content, the song has been associated with "anime themes" and dark romance motifs. Fans have interpreted the lyrics—such as "I still see her every time I close my eyes"—as potentially referring to a lost or deceased lover who only "appears" at night.
Production: Released in July 2025, the track features cinematic, "otherworldly" visual effects in its promotional videos created by VFX artist @benskriloff.
