Reuben Walton is an artist and songwriter originally from Cape Cod, MA and currently based in Woods Hole, MA. His work spans multiple genres with a pop-centric focus. A graduate of UMass Lowell and Sturgis Charter Public School, Walton's involvement in music has been a longterm passion with a steady shift towards original material beginning in high school. From his beginnings with choral ensembles, avant garde lo-fi dadaist compositions and earnest cover songs, to his free-flowing explorations of hip hop, atmospheric R&B and plaintive pop melodies, Walton brings a unique perspective that is both vulnerable and playful, his vocals and ear for melody and rhythm forming much of the common element unifying his body of work. His modest career highlights have included performances at UMass Lowell's annual Mothers of Rock concert and various venues in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Currently he is in the process of assembling a short EP with producer AVLI Music of Avli Music Productions in Woodland Hills, CA, in addition to working on a variety of side projects and collaborations.

Story behind the song
I had originally heard the song in the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous", starring Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, and Kirstie, among others. In the film, it was the version by Mandy Barnett. I thought she had written the song, I didn't know. After a bit of poking around, I asked my Dad if he knew the song and he said it was an old old folk song written by Stephen Foster in the 1800's.
Lyrics
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee. Sounds of the rude ruse world heard in the day, Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody. Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me. Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei, Over the streamlet vapors are borne Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart E'en as the moon morn on the streamlet and sea, Then will all clouds of sorrow depart. Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me
