David Nathanael Kelly has been writing stories, poems, and lyrics for most of his life.
 

His earliest memories of poetry come from sitting with his grandfather as he read his work aloud while listening to classical music. Long before he understood the mechanics of writing, he understood that words could endure. They could preserve a moment, a feeling, or a piece of someone's life long after the moment itself had passed.

 

David Nathanael Kelly is a lyricist and storyteller whose work explores themes of identity, love, loss, resilience, faith, family, and the search for meaning.

 

Drawing from a lifelong love of poetry, literature, and music, David has spent decades building a catalog of original lyrical works that place story and emotion at the center of songwriting.

 

Many of the works in the Dreamstate Audio Works catalog were written over years rather than weeks, evolving through different seasons of life while remaining rooted in a consistent belief: that powerful songs begin with powerful words.

 

The Dreamstate Audio Works catalog is an expanding collection of original lyrical works available for recording, licensing, publishing, and creative collaboration.

The demonstration recordings throughout this site represent one possible musical interpretation while preserving opportunities for future artists to create their own.

 

Whether intimate and personal or cinematic in scope, David's writing seeks to create emotional connection through memorable imagery, honest reflection, and enduring storytelling.
