Songbook Xtended: Dreams



The Cranberries - Dreams (1992) [Original Post]

Is it really possible this song came out in 1992? I always seem to think The Cranberries were earlier than that, but I guess there's a certain transcendent quality to that voice. I'm not as inclined to romanticize the concept of Dolores O'Riordan as others, but it's tough to deny the rare qualities of it all. There are several videos for Dreams on YouTube, but this is the one I think of. Breezy, seductive, and effortlessly moody. I haven't thought about this song in a while. Overplayed soapy romcom soundtrack spun at every nineties high school dance? Maybe, but I heard it again a couple of nights ago, and it was nice.
