What song am I thinking of?

Dreamy sounding song that has the word “daydream” in it. Man’s voice. I want to say 2000s or 2010s. This is a long shot but this group is amazing at this kind of thing.

This is not the answer, but just to stimulate thought, I give you Dreamtime, from 1986.

Gotta have more info. “Daydream” is a title and subject that is too easily and often rendered as “dreamy” sounding.

Hip hop? Indie rock? EDM? Europop?

Male voice; okay? Any other voices? Samples, maybe?

Where do you remember hearing it?

Best guess: Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team”?
Second-best that IMHO could plausibly be confused for 2000s-2010s: David Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream”?

Too bad it’s not ‘Daydream’ … but this one’s too old…

.

Probably not it, but the first thing that popped into my head was Fireflies by Owl City.

More along the lines of indie. I heard a song today that reminds me of it and I can only think of a snippet of it. Im racking my brain trying to think of more of the song or other details. Maybe it’s actually late 90s even, ugh.

Dream Academy - Life In A Northern Town

Excellent!

How about instrumentation?

Guitar? Electric or acoustic? Piano? Strings? Rock drums or techno?

Was it a long song or just a regular pop song length?

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! It was “squares” by The Beta Band.

Woot!
