Day Dreams and Other Dreams #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday and it's time for music! 


Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers?

We are bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday and if you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please!)   Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and Yours Truly.

Why not join our music loving folks?  It's so easy. All you have to do is join the linky above with a music post that contains at least one music video.  No music video? Your post may be removed, or may be labeled *NO MUSIC*.    

Today's theme is "You Pick" and I'm going to do just that.

What better in very warm and humid weather but to do some dreaming.

Dream Police - Cheap Trick, from 1979.  I remember seeing Cheap Trick in concert long ago, at Binghamton, New York's Spiedie Fest.

These Dreams - Heart, from 1985.

I must include the 1968 hit for the Monkees, Daydream Believer, because it is such a good song, and because someone whose blog is part of this blog hop would probably never read my blog again if I didn't.  No, seriously, it's a great song, written by John Stewart of The Kingston Trio and turned down by several artists before the Monkees took it on.  The Monkees ended up changing one word to better fit their brand.

From 1986, Van Halen - Dreams.  I woke up several times this week thinking of this song.  Dare I call it a dreamworm?

Also from 1986, Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over.

Last but not least, Boulevard of Broken Dreams from Green Day, a 2004 hit for them.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.

  5. Alana,

    Yeah, this weather causes me to do a little day dreaming about the cooler days of fall. I'm ready for it, too! I got outside on Saturday to do some yard work and WOW is all I can say! I came in the house drenched with glisten and my face super red. DH said it looked like I was sunburned but it wasn't that, it was the heat. Fantastic theme and some great songs that fit perfectly. I love the 80s sound of Heart! Have a boogietastic week, my dear! xo

  6. I was always a fan of Heart. Their music was soooo good. Daydream Believer might have been the best Monkees recording, but I was partial to Anne Murray. Have a blessed day.

  14. I don't know why no one has come to see me. This is starting to get pretty depressing. Did I do something wrong again? Anyway, I'm planning on moving and trying blogspot again myself. This Wordpress hates me and I don't know what I'm doing. Talk at ya later. Great tunes my friend... LOVE HEART!
