Dreams

Lets go back a good few years. I don't think many bands can really match the likes of Fleetwood Mac for simply delivering time and again.

I guess this one takes me back to what someone said to me a long time ago, "If someone is dumb enough to walk away, be smart enough to let them leave." This whole song points out that people often think things are one way and then pretty much realise that it was only like that because they were looking at it from a particular point of view.

"Dreams" points out that often you might be dreaming of something that simply isn't true. At the end of it all you'll be left with just yourself wondering what all those dreams really were.

Now there you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should play it the way that you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, and what you lost
what you had, and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell,
Dreams of Loneliness, like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, And what you lost
What you had, oh what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

Oh thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You'll know
You will know
Oh oh oh you'll know

Rain... it comes and goes, be sure to clean up when it's there.

Dreams

Ah... the world cup continues and the smaller nations keep pulling off the upsets. The bigger guys keep struggling... and who knows, a first time winner? Brazil were off to a good start although, I think fortune has favoured them so far and should that desert them they could be in a spot of bother.

This old one from a classic band, The Cranberries. This one simply titled "Dreams" covers the hopes for the little guy.

Oh, my life is changing everyday,

In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.

I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.

Ah, la da ah...
La...

I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore.
And they'll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.

And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You're everything to me.

Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.

And oh, my dreams,
It's never quite as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.

Ah, da, da da da, da, la...

For me... I guess, not all dreams are what you expected. But then again... nothing ever is as it seems.
