About This Song
About "It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream" by Cheryl Bentyne
Bentyne tackles a standard with velvet melancholy, the title itself a sigh of disbelief. 'It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream' floats on a minor-key piano, her phrasing a delicate balance of hope and resignation. The song is a beautiful bruise, a dream that dissolves upon waking, leaving only a haunting echo.
