Plain Mister Smith unveils a journey of sound, spirit, and reflection with new release “Dream to Be Free”

Plain Mister Smith

Plain Mister Smith’s new single sounds more like a portal than a regular song. “Dream to Be Free” is a powerful meditation that came from a life-changing trip to Kyoto during Diamonji, the festival where huge bonfires are lit on hillsides to guide spirits home. Smith’s work is inspired by this deeply meaningful moment and is full of self-reflection, awe, and emotional release.

Plain Mister Smith is a well-known figure in the Canadian indie music scene. He has worked on projects like Moev and Cinderpop and is now a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra. This adds a lot of musical depth to his solo work. His unique mix of indie pop, baroque folk, and subtle textures comes out with ease and style. The result is a piece that has both fragility and vastness, is rooted in tradition, and easily slips into ethereal soundscapes.

“Dream to Be Free” features a variety of instruments and subtle melodic shifts that make it shine. It makes you want to stop and take in its thoughtful mood. The track gives the impression of movement, as if it is following you and guiding you through self-reflection, memory, and small changes. Every passage seems carefully placed, but it flows naturally, letting the emotion grow and echo.

The single goes beyond mere inspiration, it captures a universal desire for freedom, clarity, and renewal. It talks about the deep moment when we reflect on what it means to let go. In “Dream to Be Free,” Plain Mister Smith reminds us that the first step toward freedom often begins with calmness and careful listening.
