"Dreams" is the third official (fourth overall) single by rapper The Game, taken from his debut album, The Documentary. It is produced by Kanye West and features a sample of "No Money Down" by Jerry Butler.
The song is dedicated to Yetunde Price (the elder half-sister of tennis stars Serena Williams and Venus Williams), who was shot dead on September 14, 2003. The Williams' also came from The Game's hometown of Compton, California.
A remix of the song was released on The Game's mixtape, You Know What It Is Vol. 3. It is a mix between "Dreams" and "A Dream", which is a track featuring The Notorious B.I.G. from Jay-Z's 2002 album The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse. It combines a chopped and screwed version of B.I.G.'s a cappella verse on "A Dream" with the instrumental of "Dreams". There is also another remix of the song with Trey Songz where The Game raps his normal 1st & 3rd verse and Trey Songz singing the 2nd verse.
The music video shoot for the song was where Dr. Dre first met Bishop Lamont who he eventually signed to Aftermath.
The song opens up with the line; "I woke up out dat coma, 2001; 'Bout the same time Dre dropped 2001." Which may be confusing to some, considering Dr. Dre's 2001 album was released in 1999.
"Dreams" is a song written by singer Stevie Nicks, for her group Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours. The song was the only U.S. number one hit for the group, and remains one of their best known songs. In the lyrics, a woman warns a man that he can be driven mad by loneliness in the wake of a broken love affair.
"Dreams" is a song by Van Halen released in 1986 from the album 5150. It was the second single from that album, and it reached #22 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year. "Dreams" also appeared on the soundtrack to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie almost 10 years later, which introduced Van Halen to a new generation of potential fans. "Dreams" was written during the Hagar era of the band and has become a staple at concerts. It was performed in all tours featuring Sammy Hagar, including the most recent Hagar reunion tour. Even the Gary Cherone-headed tour supporting Van Halen III featured the song in their set-list. The song was also used to close the 2004 Democratic National Convention, played after the acceptance speech of John Kerry. It was also used as the campaigns theme song at rallies across the country in 2004. The song's melodic and inspirational theme has proved to be popular with fans judging by the amount of applause that the band receives on the initial notes.
Eddie Van Halen played both guitar and keyboards on the studio version of this song. During live performances on the 5150 tour, Eddie Van Halen played the keyboards and would switch to the guitar during the first solo. On later tours, he would play guitar only, while the keyboard piece was either played "off-stage" by a hired performer (such as Alan Fitzgerald of Night Ranger during the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour), or pre-recorded material was used. Another interesting note; during live performances on the verse "We'll get higher and higher, who knows what we'll find", bassist Michael Anthony sings the second "higher", but on the studio version, Sammy Hagar sings them both. This became a standard part of the song's live performances and Eddie Van Halen would also join in the singing.
There were technically three music videos made for the song. The most well known version was shot in 1986 and featured the Blue Angels performing a variety of aerial stunts. The other two videos were shot in 1993 from a live performance at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, California, to celebrate the band's return to the venue after 15 years. (They last played at the venue in 1978.) One version of the video features newscasters and interviews with fans lining up outside the venue before the performance. The second version features far less commentary and more focus on the performance itself. The first version is available on Van Halen: Video Hits, Vol. 1. The second version can be seen at VH1Classic.com
"Dreams" is the debut single from Gabrielle. Written by Gabrielle and Tim Laws and produced by Richie Fermie, "Dreams" reached number one on the UK singles chart for three weeks in June 1993. The single entered the British charts at #2, which was the highest chart entry a debut act ever scored in the UK at that time. The song also peaked at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA. In Australia the song made #4 and was the twentieth biggest selling single of 1993.
Originally the song included a sample of the song Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, but because of copyright reasons the sample had to be removed and the song became a hit by its own merit.
The song was later sampled by the More Fire Crew on their 2002 single Dreams.
The song is featured heavily in the 1999 Paul Thomas Anderson film Magnolia, the character 'Quiz Kid' Donnie Smith plays the song repeatedly as a motivational aid.
This single is seen as her signature song and the title of her greatest hits compilation Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is based around its lyric.
