Dream Songs: Dreams (take JJ, I mean three)

Tweet

More adventures to be had! First, while there are lots of songs left in this month-long look at songs with “dream” in the title, this is the lasts one of three in a row named “Dreams.” And this one has the official JJ seal of approval™ even though he didn’t know it was coming. Dreams - Van Halen That’s right, folks, it’s SAM HALEN™ time! JJ loves the Red Rocker (in a manly way, of course); and, while I’m not a big fan of Eddie and Alex’s namesake band, I prefer Sammy Hagar over David Lee Ego, I mean Roth. And this song got a big boost for me because the first time I heard it was on the video they made with the Blue Angels planes. There was a Blue Angels plane parked outside one of the bases in Jacksonville (don’t know why, they train in Pensacola). But even without the visual images this is still a great song. Dreams Written by Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony Recorded by Van Halen From 5150, 1986 Pictures in an empty room:
