Van Halen - Dreams - Meaning of the song
This is a song about following your dreams and never giving up: "Reach for the sky, baby just spread your wings." It's one of the more optimistic songs out there, and the video is very uplifting in a Top Gun kind of way, using footage of the Blue Angels fighter jets from the United States Navy.
Like Van Halen's earlier hit "Jump," this song features a keyboard intro. Unlike "Jump," however, this song didn't become a massive hit. Instead, it settled into classic rock playlists and became a concert favorite.
Dreams - Lyrics
World turns black and white Pictures in an empty room Your love starts fallin' down Better change your tune You reach for the golden ring Reach for the sky Baby just spread your wings We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind Run, run, run, away Like a train runnin' off the track The truth gets left behind And falls between the cracks Standing on broken dreams But never losing sight But you spread your wings We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried Ohh that's what dreams are made of Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong Ohh that's what dreams are made of We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb Higher and higher leave it all behind Oh, we'll get higher and higher who knows what we'll find So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried Ohh, that's what dreams are made of Ohh, baby we belong in a world that must be strong Ohh, that's what dreams are made of And in the end on dreams we will depend Cause thats what love is made of
