This song means the world to me. Not for any musical reason, just a certain time and place that I heard it with a special someone. Thanks Paula@FLW

Do you know what's cool about this song (besides everything that's been written so far)? Most rock songs, including most Van Halen, are written in minor keys, that give them angst and darkness. Then there's Dreams, which (if my music theory is up to speed-which there's a good chance it's not) is also minor until the end, when all of a sudden, Eddie pulls out this beautiful major key two-handed tapping solo which, being major, sounds happy and hopeful, just like the lyrics. I love that.

This is a damn good song. Unlike many Van Halen songs, this one actually has some good meaning behind it. Even if its simple. Just follow your dreams... don't let anything stop you. But I must admit the video is pretty cheesy. The Blue Angels? I guess it fits with the "Higher, Higher" part. But I dunno. LoL. Whatever. Good song.

All I can say is that this song is just so beatiful.

The blue angel film clip is actually a tribute to a relation that died flying for the blue angels.
