The Walkmen
Hamilton Performs 'Thinking of a Dream I Had' with The Privates at The Basement
The Walkmen were riding high on the vibrant energy of their career when they performed live at The Basement in Nashville on October 13, 2008. Just a few months earlier, in July of that same year, they released their highly acclaimed album "You & Me." This record showcased a more introspective sound compared to their earlier work, marking a shift that fans truly embraced. The live recording features Hamilton Leithauser crooning "Thinking of a Dream I Had," a track that perfectly encapsulates the band's knack for blending melancholy with a touch of hope—an emotional cocktail that resonates so well with listeners. Interestingly, the event also featured members of Nashville's The Privates performing a cover, a nod to the local music scene's camaraderie. What a beautiful moment it captures—the fusion of artists pouring their hearts out in a small venue, reminding us of the power of live music to create unforgettable memories.
