It’s just too complicated right now to explain why I need to know this, but I’m looking for songs that either
a.) have the word “Dream” in the title
or
b.) are about sleep and dreams.
The only ones I could think of right off the bat were “Mr. Sandman” and “Dream a Little Dream Of Me.”
All advice appreciated!
Dreamweaver
Bob Dylan’s Dream
Dream Lover
I’m Only Sleeping
The Dream (from “On a Threshold of a Dream”)
“Sweet Dreams Are Made of This” by the Eurythmics
“Sweet Dreams” by Air Supply
DREAM THAT CAN LAST - Neil Young
Sleeping Analeah (don’t know who wrote it, my copy is a cover by Nick Cave)
I Go To Sleep - Chrissie Hynde/The Pretenders
In Dreams - Roy Orbison
Dreaming - Olivia Newton John
Sleeplessly Dying - can’t remember. Some gothy chic from the 80s.
(All I have to do is) Dream - Roy Orbison
I Have A Dream - Abba
That’s about all I can think off, offhand.
My taste in music is obviously quite, quite disturbing.
Dream On-Aerosmith
The entire score of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” comes to mind.
Also “Pilate’s Dream” from Jesus Christ Superstar, “Stranger than You Dreamt It” from Phantom of the Opera, and “New Ways to Dream” from Sunset Boulevard.
“Dreams” - Fleetwood Mac
“Sweet Dreams” - Tori Amos
how about “only when I sleep”, sung by the corrs.
Goto AMG and type ‘dream’ for song search and you’ll get a page of them.
“Dreaming My Dreams” - Waylon Jennings
Dreams I’ll Never See - Molly Hatchet
Cheap Trick - The Dream Police
*The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no.
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain’t nice.
And when I fall asleep I don’t think I’ll survive the night, the night.
’cause they’re waiting for me.
They’re looking for me.
Ev’ry single night they’re driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.
The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no…*
“Sweet Dreams (of You)” - Patsy Cline
Bob Dylan’s Talkin’ World War III Blues is the story of his dream where he’s the only survivor. This might be the one Reality Chuck referred to, I don’t know.
“Dreamer” by Supertramp
Since this is about music, I’ll move this thread to our arts forum, Cafe Society.
