This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

The cabinet of stories that spill over.

Galactic Curiosities opens the drawers of Riva Glow’s imaginary shop. Hologram Hearts, The Dream Merchant’s Shop, and The Shadow Puppeteer give faces to objects, trades, and desires that escape everyday life. The word galactic signals boundless curiosity here rather than a scientific journey.

The thirteen tracks offer a gallery of characters, from the collector to secret societies. In the label’s story, Riva offers them a light so that their strangeness can be considered with care. Every listener remains free to make a different story of them.

The Dream Merchant’s Shop offers a doorway; Hologram Hearts opens the complete journey.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Open sign says "Dreams for Sale"
But the price? Well, that's the tale

Dusty jars line every wall
Nightmares short and daydreams tall
Purple ones for flying high
Golden ones that make you cry
Silver coins for sweet romance
Copper pennies buy second chance

Choose your poison, pick your bliss
But remember dreams like this
Come with terms you might dismiss
At the dream merchant's shop tonight
Where your darkest thoughts take flight
Every vision has its cost
Some dreams leave you feeling lost
In his cabinet of delight

Recurring dreams cost extra fare
Lucid ones are very rare
Childhood memories marked half-price
But adult fears? You'll pay twice

What happens when the jar runs dry?
When borrowed dreams begin to die?
Do I wake up or do I stay
In the dreams I couldn't pay?

At the dream merchant's shop beware
Not all dreams are meant to share
Every nightmare that you've bought
Leaves a piece of soul you've brought
To his midnight market square

Sweet dreams, customer
Until you need some more
