"Julia Dream" is the B-side of the Pink Floyd single "It Would Be So Nice".[1][2] The song was the first to be recorded by the band with lead vocals by David Gilmour.[citation needed]
Writing
Written by bassist Roger Waters, "Julia Dream" is characterised by the slow tempo, the airy, ambient Mellotron sounds from keyboardist Richard Wright and lush chorus vocals.
The song's lyrics include reference to an eiderdown, an item also mentioned in two other known Pink Floyd songs – Syd Barrett's "Flaming" and Gilmour/Waters's "A Pillow of Winds". The phrase "Am I really dying" will reappear in the version of the song "Mother" re-recorded for the film "Pink Floyd - The Wall".
Later release
The song was later included on several compilation albums: The Early Years 1965–1972 box, The Best of Pink Floyd, Relics, and The Early Singles disc, which was included in the Shine On box set.
