The ‘almost’ final post about dreams and dreaming has arrived. I am sure that there are untapped riches still to be discovered, so let’s dig in and see what we can find.
“Army Dreamers” is a 1980 song, the third and final single to be released from the album Never For Ever, by Kate Bush. “Army Dreamers” was released in September 1980 and peaked at number 16 in the UK. The song is about the effects of war and about a mother who grieves for her young adult son, who was killed on military manoeuvres. Saddened by his unnecessary death, she wrestles with her guilt over what she could have done to prevent it.
Movement is the debut studio album by English band New Order, released in November 1981 by Factory Records. At the time of its release, the album was not particularly well received by critics or audiences, only peaking at number thirty on the UK Album Chart. However, retrospective critical reception has been very positive.
“Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” is a song by British duo Eurythmics. It is the title track of the album of the same name (1983) and was released as the fourth and final single from the album in early 1983. The song became their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide. Its music video helped to propel the song to number two in the UK and number one on the US Billboard.
“Street of Dreams” is a song by the hard rock band Rainbow. The song was the first single from the band’s album Bent Out of Shape, on which the band tried to repeat their previous success with their album Straight Between The Eyes and the single “Stone Cold”. Ritchie Blackmore has stated that “Street of Dreams” is one of his favourite Rainbow songs.
Street of Dreams” is a song by the American band Guns N’ Roses, featured on their 2008 album Chinese Democracy. The song is the third promotional song sent to radio stations, but was not released as a commercial single eligible for international Singles charts. From 2001 to 2008, the song was called “The Blues”, but was changed to “Street of Dreams” for the album’s release.
“Wildest Dreams” is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). Swift wrote the song with its producers Max Martin and Shellback. “Wildest Dreams” is a dream pop power ballad with an atmospheric production equipped with strings and Swift’s heartbeat as its beat. The lyrics describe Swift’s plea for her lover to remember her despite the inevitable end of their relationship. In the United States, it was 1989‘s fifth consecutive top-ten hit on the Billboard reaching number five.
