About the song
Fleetwood Mac – Dreams is one of the most iconic songs by the legendary British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, originally released in 1977 as part of their critically acclaimed album Rumours. Written by Stevie Nicks, the song is characterized by its mellow, yet deeply emotional melody, with introspective lyrics that discuss heartbreak and the challenge of moving on. With its dreamy instrumental background blending smooth guitar riffs and a steady rhythm, the song perfectly encapsulates the complexities of relationships and emotions.
“Dreams” became Fleetwood Mac’s only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the chart in June 1977. The song cemented its place in music history and remains a defining masterpiece from the Rumours album, which itself is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with more than 40 million copies sold worldwide. Rumours earned the band widespread critical acclaim and even won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978.
The enduring popularity of “Dreams” has only grown over the decades. Its timeless appeal was highlighted in 2020 when the track experienced a massive resurgence on social media platforms like TikTok, thanks to a viral video of a man skateboarding while drinking cranberry juice and lip-syncing to the song. This rediscovery introduced Fleetwood Mac‘s music to a new generation, catapulting the song back onto the charts more than 40 years after its original release.
The song’s 4K remaster of its official music video only enhances its beauty, offering fans a visually stunning experience while listening to Fleetwood Mac‘s magnum opus. Combining poignant lyrics and impeccable production, “Dreams” remains an eternal classic, demonstrating why Fleetwood Mac is regarded as one of the greatest bands in music history.
