1997 reissue of his 1979 instrumental solo album. Contains 15 tracks, half studio cuts and half live recordings from Osaka, Japan. Includes 'The Chosen Hour', 'Arise Awake' and 'Light Versus Darkness'. The full title is 'Oneness/ Silver Dreams - Golden Reality'. Columbia release.

Carlos Santana's February, 1979 release is technically his fourth solo effort. An instrumental album comprised of roughly half studio-recorded tracks & half live cuts (recorded in Osaka, Japan), this item is home to many great tracks & speaks largely of the artist's spiritual awakening. Includes 'Silver Dreams, Golden Smiles', 'Life is Just a Passing Parade', 'Free as the Morning Sun', 'I Am Free' & eleven more.



This is the first Carlos Santana solo album. It features members of the Santana band as backup, however, so the difference between a group effort and a solo work seems to be primarily in the musical approach, which is more esoteric and more varied than on a regular band album. The record is mostly instrumental and given over largely to contemplative ballads, although there is also, for example, in the song "Silver Dreams Golden Smiles," a traditional pop ballad sung by Saunders King.

SILVER DREAMS, GOLDEN SMILES

You came to me
In a silver dream
With a glowing flow
Of a mountain stream

You lift my soul
Way beyond the sky
Just to wake me up
With your golden smiles

Chorus:
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles

I knew one day
You would come my way
You would help me see
The reality

Heaven and earth
They are one, the same
In my heart I know
When you call my name

Chorus

Dreaming when I’m wide awake
See, when my eyes are closed
Flying, I don't need no wings
Being everywhere at once
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Fill me with your glowing grace

Chorus


CRY OF THE WILDERNESS

ONENESS

(Instrumental)


LIFE IS JUST A PASSING PARADE 

When I was a little boy
I was raised down south in Mexico
Nothing ever happened that was new to me
Then one day we saw circus posters on the wall
Suddenly, All my friends and I
We heard a sound
It was loud
Music all around us seemed to make us free

Life is just a passing paradise
Life is just a passing paradise

Everybody started dancing
I never saw so many people having so much fun

Now I’m living in this country
And I’ve got myself a steady job
I keep seeing people happy everywhere
All I get to do is play my guitar

Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun
Come on! Everybody get together, have some fun

Life is just a passing paradise
Life is just a passing paradise

Everybody started dancing
I never saw so many people having so much fun


GOLDEN DAWN

(Instrumental)


FREE AS THE MORNING SUN 

Don’t expect and you won’t be disappointed
And don’t judge
Offer your love

Don’t make promises to the world
Keep them to yourself
You’ll be better off

Hey! I know what I’m talking about
I know what I’m talking about

Don’t complain
Go out and do it yourself
Later on, you’ll be better off

Don’t look back, especially if it’s painful
Turn within, you’re going to find delight

Free as the morning sun
Free as the morning sun
Free as the morning sun


I AM FREE

I am free because I am not of the body
I am free because I am not the body
I am free because I am the soul bird
That flies in infinity’s sky
I am the soul child that dreams
On the lap of the immortal king supreme
