• Along with "These Days To Come," "With Your Dreams" is a new song Translator added to their 2025 album Beyond Today: Live At The Farm San Francisco 1986, which as the title suggests, was recorded at the San Francisco performance space The Farm in 1986. That was the goodbye concert for the band, which had released four acclaimed albums but couldn't attract a big enough audience to stay viable. Decades after their breakup, there was still interest in the band, and they staged a few reunions.
• Steve Barton and Robert Darlington of translator explained how this song came together in a Songfacts interview.
  
  "I was playing around with the chords and lyrics for this song in my studio up in Portland one afternoon," Barton said. "When the line 'I close my eyes with your dreams' came along, I knew that I was on to something good. The bit about 'all the blood in my veins has memorized your name' had been rummaging around in my head for years. It tried to make its way into other songs, but nothing ever stuck. This time it worked. I put together what I thought would be a demo for a solo record, but soon realized that it had a real Translator vibe. So, I got in touch with the others and we finished it together. Along with 'These Days To Come,' we sent it off to Ed Stasium to mix it. I really like this one — it has such a cool sonic atmosphere.
  
  "I remember when Steve first sent me a file of this song," Darlington added. "I immediately thought it was perfect for Translator. I had not heard it much before I actually recorded my tracks for it, and it was inspiring to add my harmonies and guitar parts. Ed Stasium and I had done backwards guitars on various tracks before, so l added a guitar part at the end of the song, hoping he would do that with it, and he did. Great images in this song add to its melodic power."
