Dreams
Van Halen · Best Of Both Worlds [2004]
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
got the truth bein' left behind
falls between the cracks
standin' on broken dreams
never losin' sight, ah
well 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
So baby dry your eyes
save all the tears you've cried
oh, that's what dreams are made of
'cause we belong in a world that must be strong
oh, that's what dreams are made of
Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
straight up we'll climb
higher and higher
leave it all behind
we'll get higher and higher
who knows what we'll find?
So baby dry your eyes
save all the tears you've cried
oh, that's what dreams are made of
oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
oh, that's what dreams are made of
And in the end on dreams we will depend
cause that's what love is made of

Van Halen's "Dreams" stands as a defining track from their 2004 compilation "Best Of Both Worlds," showcasing the band's signature blend of rock energy and melodic sensibility. Recorded during the late 1980s, the song reflects the group's evolution as they balanced their hard-hitting style with more accessible pop-rock elements. Featuring Eddie Van Halen's virtuosic guitar work and David Lee Roth's charismatic vocals, the recording captures the essence of the era's mainstream rock sound. While often associated with the band's earlier hits, this track demonstrates their ability to craft memorable melodies that resonated with a broad audience, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential rock acts of the decade.
