In Dreams

Sierra Ferrell wrote "In Dreams", track ten of Long Time Coming, 2:42. It is her own song and not Roy Orbison's. It was released as a single on June 25, 2021, with an alternative version on April 22, 2022. The version that spread first was a performance recorded and posted by the YouTube channel GemsOnVHS, in 2018 by Wikipedia's account, the follow-up to the "Rosemary" video. Holler Country ranks it first among her songs, a wistful meditation on impermanence and death, and Americana UK called it the record's single and noted modal chords, rare in simple country songs. We found no statement from Ferrell about its meaning.

Setlist.fm lists 181 performances, the third most played song, first played on October 18, 2018 at Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis and most recently on October 24, 2026 at The Signal in Chattanooga; by year 11 in 2021, 19 in 2022, 36 in 2023, 41 in 2024 and 36 in 2025. We do not know whether our upload is the GemsOnVHS original or the official video, so we do not say.
