Nancy sang the lead on this one. She can sing too. She's usually singing harmony. Nice to hear her on lead. This was one of their biggest power ballads.
It also was not written by them but by Martin Page. During that period a lot of bands were contracted by their studios to use material the studio decided would be successful for a band. Both Ann and Nancy have stated that they weren't happy with the arrangement, but they really like this song and others that they did not write.
@@Rabbithole8 I suspect the studio wanting Nancy to take more of the vocals was because this was the same point in history where Ann was really struggling to stay at an "aesthetically pleasing" weight. The studio wanted svelte rocker chicks they could slap onto posters and Ann's body wasn't cooperating, so they wanted to get Nancy in the front more often.
Lyrics written by Bernie Taupin same guy that wrote all of Elton Johns lyrics. Nancy had a cold when she sang and didn't like the result but fortunetly Ann talked her into not re-recording.
@@jp3813 Yes I know that so does Joan Jett and the Blackhearts but they speak of her she's an iconic female rocker just like Heart when they speak of Heart they speak Ann and Nancy Wilson they are the ones who lead these groups. I grew up listening to Heart as a kid I know they have male band players.
My favorite heart song. Sung by Nancy and lyrics written by the great Bernie Taupin, who wrote so many fantastic Elton John songs. Nancy has that rasp due to having a cold at the time of the recording.
This is the first time you’ve heard Nancy singing lead. Turned out to be one of their biggest hits. For an older ballad of theirs, try “Dog and Butterfly.”
@@jp3813 I wrote the comment at the beginning of the reaction. I left it up because they thought this was the first time hearing Nancy, and I was confirming their suspicion. No need to be a 🤡 trying to score internet points, for whatever that’s worth IRL.
This is from their self titled comeback album "Heart" in 1985. They had so many hits from this album. "These Dreams" "What About Love" "Never" "Nothin' At All" ""If Looks Could Kill" They followed this album up with their just as big "Bad Animals" album in 1987.
@@daverhoden445 Less I guess a comeback in the sense of leaving and coming back, but in fading away and coming back as at least the previous album hadn't done so well.
I love Nancy's voice. Obviously, their harmonies are dreamy, but I always enjoy when Nancy gets to show off her chops as well. Definitely listen to "Dog and Butterfly" for a beautifully soft, yet powerful, ballad with lots of harmony.
Song was originally offered to Stevie Nicks, but she passed. When it was offered to Heart, Nancy begged to sing it & did. Nancy has such a beautiful voice.
Sharon Hess, a fan of Heart and friend to Nancy, brought her custom made guitar in the studio when they were recording this song Sadly, Sharon died of leukemia 2 days after the final recording. Nancy said in an interview that she thinks of Sharon every time she sings this song.
People like this set the stage for positive change. I had such high hopes for the next generation and I've been so disappointed. We are more divided than ever before. Wish People would look back and then look forward.
You're not alone J, I don't dream either. VERY occasionally there are a few fragments of something when I wake, like maybe ten times in the last 30 years or so. It is very much I go away and then I come back again. I have one dream from around 16 years of age, that is the only dream I can remember. That was 33 years ago.
I could take a 5 minute nap and have a really bizarre dream. Sometimes I start dreaming moments before I actually fall asleep, which is actually called "hypnagogia."
Nancy said in an interview that when she recorded this song she had a cold and was afraid that it wouldn't sound good. When they listened to it afterward they decided to keep it as is. It turned out awesome.
I was in a comic shop in the 80s. This song was playing. I was browsing the racks, and just when the song reached the line "is it cloak and dagger...", I came across a new Marvel title called "Cloak & Dagger".
Nancy said in an interview once that she had a cold when she recorded These Dreams and it was their first No. 1 hit. She said she had been trying to get back that sound for years.
It’s my favorite by heart, when I was little (like 3-6) my mom owned a camero and every time dog and butterfly came on it was too low to hear well even all the way up (this was mid 80’s) so I’d get down in the floor if my seat and stick my head up next to the speaker until the song was over.
@@beedeegee9374 yeah, see, I’ve always found dreamboat Annie kind of boring. Yeah she sounds good but there’s always been something about that song that never connected with me 🤷🏼♀️
Ann Wilson has a duet coming out in November with David Draiman of Disturbed, called Don't Tell Me, just an FYI, supposed to be a killer song from what Disturbed is promoting..
Have such a random memory associated with this song: at my junior high in 86/87 we had a magician do a Magic show for the students in the gymnasium. While he was making his female assistant disappear this song was playing. Never fails to make me think of that when I hear this!😂
I saw Heart play live in the 1980's, they where phenomenal. It is so interesting and fun to see a whole new generation to experience this music for the 1st time. Keep up the good work!
Another peaceful gem of theirs is "Dog And Butterfly." I HIGHLY recommend checking out them playing it LIVE. You can hear their beautiful harmonies without the slick studio production.
Jay, what they say is that we’re always dreaming, but some people just don’t remember them. I’ve gone through periods where I remember them less, but when I decide in my mind that I want to, my dream world comes back. Try an experiment: before you go to bed write down on a piece of paper that you *will* remember your dreams. Write it several times so you believe it. Or if you’re not confident yet that you will, write *why* you want to remember your dreams, or what you’re curious about dreaming. Who knows, maybe you’ll dream again! If it doesn’t work in one night, maybe try for a week and see what happens. I bet you’ll experience dreaming again! ✨
I'm like Amber my dreams are in full color and I know I'm dreaming alot of times, and if I wake up I can immediately pick up where I left off. Heart will always be my favorite duo 🌹❤️
Man! These girls rock harder than most men!!!! My Mom played Heart for us growing up, and my brothers and I are huge fans!! My Mom just saw them about a year ago live, and they still got it!!! Thanks!!!!
Two songs by Heart I would recommend are Dreamboat Annie and Dog and Butterfly. If you want great live song by another group I would recommend Silver Springs live from the Album The Dance by Fleetwood Mac.
All ways had a huge crush on both, I couldn't make up my mind. I think they write children books? No one ever came close to their sound. Thanks again for this memory,smile.
I didn't dream for 25 years. Turned out I had sleep apnia so I never really slept deeply enough to dream. You should get checked to see if you have sleep apnea. I use a cpap now and have many dreams every night since I started using the machine. My 2 favorite heart songs are Dreamboat Annie and Dog and Butterfly. Both ballads like These dreams.
Hi! Great song and reaction. We all dream, even you Jay! But, not everyone remembers their dreams. So it could be you just don't recall the dreams you have or you do but forget them easily. But who knows, one day you might wake up and be like dang, that's what I did in my sleep last night! If you do, write it down. I used to keep dream diaries, I think I might start again! Keeping a dream diary also helps you to recall dreams, like the more you write them down the more you remember your dreams. Like Amber, I can have some crazy dreams. But Amber has the ability to pick up where a previous dream ended which is awesome! I read that if you wake up from a dream and want to get back into it you have to really think about it as you're trying to fall asleep again, but it sounds like Amber is able to do it with ease, which is cool!
The wonderful Wilson Sisters!! Isn't is great to hear Nancy singing lead. This has a definite 80's sensibility and is very polished. Wow, I don't know how many times I saw the video on MTV in 1986. I love it.
Way back in the day my uncle used to hangout in the parking lot of a local club. Nancy was doing a solo act inside and he'd sit in his old triumph waiting for her to go on break. No, there was no love affair between them, she'd just smoke pot with him during her breaks. Nancy was very talented and really do it all.
I don’t usually dream. Every once in awhile I do wake up with a partial memory of one, but that’s very rare. Thanks for reacting to this Heart song, Nancy has a great voice too!
Are you a heavy sleeper? Pretty much everyone has dreams, but a lot of people can’t remember them. I am a very light sleeper and remember a lot of my dreams in great detail. Supposedly you need to dream or you’ll go insane.
Possibly the best song they had, & that's saying alot!! The funny thing, the day they were shooting the video, Nancy showed up late, she was sick the day before & had a terrible cold & could barley talk, the producers were gonna postpone the shoot, but Nancy said she can do it, what a result!!
If you need another reason to love Heart, they did so much for the Seattle scene in the early 90’s (grunge era), letting Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam & Soundgarden all rehearse at their studio in Seattle and mentored them on contract issues so they didn’t get screwed over & are still friends with a lot of them…
These Dreams - those people who remember their dreams can relate - in dreams I've had friends I never knew, I've loved, died, flown, laughed, been enlightened -- the subconscious mind is the artistic side of everyone, the dream generator, the mystic at the heart of the undiscovered self - and who are you, that has such dreams -
Just imagine, Nancy Wilson sings lead, and the song becomes their first ever number one hit. They were around for Time before that came out. And they had a lot of hits before that song came out, but that was the number one.
Omg the lyrics on this song keeps me in tears! “I search for the time on a watch with no hands” “ Funny how your feet in dreams and never touch the earth” 😭😭😭priceless!!❤ Lyrics: Spare a little candle Save some light for me Figures up ahead Moving in the trees White skin in linen Perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over These dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge Shadows where I stand I search for the time On a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly Come closer than this But all I remember Are the dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away Is it cloak 'n' dagger Could it be spring or fall I walk without a cut Through a stained glass wall Weaker in my eyesight The candle in my grip And words that have no form Are falling from my lips These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away There's something out there I can't resist I need to hide away from the pain There's something out there I can't resist The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Great song, I've always liked it. Crazy thing is that Ann is the voice you think of when you think of Heart, but this song with Nancy singing lead is Heart's biggest hit and their first song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
My wife and I had the opportunity to see heart when we were younger, it was incredible. I remember getting ready for school, and putting on MTV while I got ready for school, and listening to this song as i got ready. Love Heart!
Yes, I'm like Jay and don't remember my dreams. Every once in awhile I may remember a tiny bit but it's almost always nothing. I do love this song. Apparently Nancy ended up singing lead because she had a cold and produced that amazing rasp! Both sisters are so talented and I'm so happy to see you enjoying their music.
I remember consciously turning my dreams off as a teenager because I had some worrisome dreams, not quite nightmares in my opinion, but they bothered me.
Earlier this year I lost my mom and she absolutely loved this song I can't ever get through this song without tears I miss ya mom... every moment I'm awake the further I'm away hits so hard
As said before, this song is lyrics by Bernie Taupin, Elton's song writing partner. I believe Nancy wrote music. And of course Nancy in lead singing. This was a HUGE hit.
I have been subscribed since nearly the beginning of your channel and I LOVE how much you guys have evolved. You are becoming music experts. Its AWESOME!
This is my favorite song by *Heart* . It's so beautiful, romantic and the lyrics are deep. It makes me emotional and I'm good with that. 🙂 *Amber* , I dream no matter how long or short I sleep. Doze off for two minutes, I dream. I have extremely vivid and detailed dreams and have been told to write a book about them. 😀 I've even had a few lucid dreams, which are quite the experience. Whenever I'd tell my family I wanted to tell them about a dream, especially when I was younger, they'd say to each other "Let's get a snack, everyone go to the bathroom before she starts, get your comfy pillow and blanket..." 😄 They knew it'd be a long story coming, but listened to every word without any complaints. ❤️ My younger brother very rarely dreamed until he became an adult living on his own, and it was still rare. He's now married with two daughters and dreams a tiny bit more. Maybe it has something to do with work and responsibilities as he gets older.
My absolute favorite Heart song. I love Nancy Wilson on lead vocals. She’s so incredibly talented and somewhat overlooked in the shadow of her sister Annie. If you love Heart, as do I, how about doing something from the woman who carries the name. Beth Hart. It’s been a long time since we have visited Beth. ♥️✌🏼😎
Like others, this is my all time favorite of Heart! I love to sing this when I go karaoke. It's always a big hit and people love it! How can they not love anything from Heart, right?
If you guy's love Nancy's vocals here are two great hit songs in which she sings lead: 1) There's The Girl 2) Stranded (Has a nice lead guitar solo). Ann also sings lead on the outstanding love ballad titled 'I Want You So Bad.' Enjoy!
Although this song came out several years later, it always makes me think of my best friend who died shortly after high school. I still think of him a lot. It’s been more than 40 years.
Two great Heart songs which feature Nancy singing along with Ann are "Dog and Butterfly" and their cover of the Led Zeppelin song "Battle of Evermore"! Pu them on your list for some future Female Fridays!!
🤘🏼💚Love Heart so much… whether they’re rocking our hearts out, or showing us their softer side, I love it all. This song takes me to a very specific place in my memory but I’m having a hard time putting words to it, I guess an easier time of life or something like that…thanks for the feeling memory guys 💕😎 I know it’s not quite fitting for a reaction channel but their “B-sides” have some really beautiful music if you’re ever looking for background music in the house or some thing like that… Like ‘dream of the archer’ or ‘sylvan song’ on the B-side of Little Queen…such a great album✌ By the way, you actually are dreaming Jay you’re just not remembering and that’s OK. Many people don’t remember and don’t need to, for me personally if I don’t remember my dreams I feel like I’m gonna go insane! My mom hasn’t remembered a dream since she was a child and she’s totally fine with it. If you want to train yourself to remember your dreams you can, you don’t need to though, your brain is storing them in the exact place that they need to go for you. Sweetest of dreams to you both and reach out if you want to talk about it sometime 🌌✨💙🌙
Nancy sang the lead on this one. She can sing too. She's usually singing harmony. Nice to hear her on lead. This was one of their biggest power ballads.
I wouldn't call this a power ballad. It's a ballad.
It takes more skill to sing harmony than lead. They've both got it all.
Echo🤣
No need to inform them of things that they already know.
@@jp3813 no need to be a big ol dick 😒
Wow I never heard this one said no one ever
IRONICALLY, this song with Nancy in vocals was their most successful on the charts. It hit #1.
Alone also made number one. Alone and All I wanna do were bigger worldwide.
It was their first #1, but it wouldn't be their last.
It also was not written by them but by Martin Page. During that period a lot of bands were contracted by their studios to use material the studio decided would be successful for a band.

Heart doesn't get enough love...the Wilson sisters are such legends

Umm, if they are legends then they DO get enough love. 😉 and deservedly so.
They're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@@bobsandler4563 yes they are
Beyond.....
The 80s was the most iconic era of music.

My favorite heart song. Sung by Nancy and lyrics written by the great Bernie Taupin, who wrote so many fantastic Elton John songs. Nancy has that rasp due to having a cold at the time of the recording.
I learned that on pop up video I think
Cool I didn’t know that 🙂
I miss Pop Up Video. *nostalgic*
Better than Magic Man and Crazy on you? I don't think so.
They can have whatever favorite song they want, Michael. Jesus.
Nancy singing with a bad cold still sounds better than most singers today 😂 Favorite Heart song! So nostalgic for me! That rasp was caused by phlegm 😂
🎵 The hills are alive with the sound of mucus. 🎶
This is the first time you’ve heard Nancy singing lead. Turned out to be one of their biggest hits.
For an older ballad of theirs, try “Dog and Butterfly.”
This was there only #1 hit.
Dog and Butterfly!! 💕
@@kens32052 I think Alone was a number 1 too.

Their best album!!
"Comeback"? When did they leave?
@@daverhoden445 Less I guess a comeback in the sense of leaving and coming back, but in fading away and coming back as at least the previous album hadn't done so well.
BIG ALBUM!
Strangely, This was Heart's first number one hit. After all that great music they produced. They did add another number one later with "Alone"
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Journey also never had a #1 hit. Crazy!
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Competition was fierce back then.
@@BillGraper Reaching 2nd place was no small feat in the 80s.
Seems the number ones started about the time MTv was taking over… just more exposure maybe?
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT really? That's stunning? How did Born in the usa not reach 1? As a kid I remeber that being everywhere?
I love Nancy's voice. Obviously, their harmonies are dreamy, but I always enjoy when Nancy gets to show off her chops as well. Definitely listen to "Dog and Butterfly" for a beautifully soft, yet powerful, ballad with lots of harmony.
I love that song so much!
My favorite Heart song. I remember watching this video every day on MTV in 1986 and voting for it on the top 10 countdown every night.
Nancy was sick, but had to record the vocals because of the studio/relsease schedule so she did it. She doesn't usually have a very raspy voice.
Ann does backup and harmonies on this song. This is a rare jewel that is Nancy on lead vocals
Song was originally offered to Stevie Nicks, but she passed. When it was offered to Heart, Nancy begged to sing it & did. Nancy has such a beautiful voice.
Sharon Hess, a fan of Heart and friend to Nancy, brought her custom made guitar in the studio when they were recording this song Sadly, Sharon died of leukemia 2 days after the final recording. Nancy said in an interview that she thinks of Sharon every time she sings this song.

Nancy also sings lead on “There’s the Girl”
Jay & Amber, you will LOVE their "Kick It Out", "Never" and "Dog And Butterfly"!!!
Kick It Out on vinyl you can hear them in the studio booth right before the first note.
I could take a 5 minute nap and have a really bizarre dream. Sometimes I start dreaming moments before I actually fall asleep, which is actually called "hypnagogia."

Huge hit for this band. And rightly so. Beautiful ❤ 🎙 🎵
Nancy said in an interview once that she had a cold when she recorded These Dreams and it was their first No. 1 hit. She said she had been trying to get back that sound for years.
This single became their very 1st #1 single in America on March 22, 1986!!!
Is there any doubt as to why these ladies have been top flight professional recording artists for 5 decades? I think not. They always bring it. 🤘😎
Amber you'll love "Dog and Butterfly" it's a slower song as well but the vocals! Nearly every Heart fan has it as one of their favorites.
Also, Dreamboat Annie.
It’s my favorite by heart, when I was little (like 3-6) my mom owned a camero and every time dog and butterfly came on it was too low to hear well even all the way up (this was mid 80’s) so I’d get down in the floor if my seat and stick my head up next to the speaker until the song was over.

The song takes me right back to a magic show too. I saw David Copperfield's show in Singapore in the early 90s, and he played this song.
“Never” is a banger. “What about Love” also a banger.
A shout out to all us 80s kids who were there enjoying the old MTV videos.
Oh, to go back there and never leave. Happiest days of my life.
“Never” is fantastic! I loved my 80s Heart!

That album on general is amazing. Mistral Wind is an all time favorite. And High Time.
I believe the live version is better than the studio version.
@@alberthaust4542
I think I agree. It seems, beyond the music itself, more emotion comes across in the live version.
That rasp was due to the fact she had a cold at the time and the producer loved the sound, so it was not re recorded. They are amazing.
Heart in the 80s was heavy on power ballads. Always a good time listening to heart no matter the decade
Agreed, and the long career says a lot about their solid talent

Melatonin is a dream inducer as well. 5 milligrams before bed and the dreams are vivid.
Dog and butterfly, live in Seattle is a MUST listen too!!
You should check out "Never", which, in my opinion, is the best song on this album.
Its more of a rocker.
They are such a talented duo I have loved them since my teens
Heart had a whole truck load of big hits in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but this one has to be up towards the top of the heap!
I love Heart sooo much!! One of my absolute favorite songs of theirs is There’s the girl!!

This their first number one hit, and Nancy was singing lead. Can you imagine Ann Wilson as your backup singer?
Nancys vocals on ‘Nada One’ and ‘Will You Be There’ are killing too. 👍

Great reaction as always you two! :)
Oh and in case Jeopardy calls, their father is Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys ⛱️😅😅❤❤
Nope. Ann and Nancy's father was Major John Wilson of the U.S. Marine Corps.
Brian Wilson's daughters are Wendie and Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips.
Those sister harmonies are perfection. Heart is such a great band. 💜
this is one of those magic surrealistic rock songs. when it came out, every time it came on the radio, i sat bolt upright.
I don’t usually dream. Every once in awhile I do wake up with a partial memory of one, but that’s very rare. Thanks for reacting to this Heart song, Nancy has a great voice too!

everyone dreams, not everyone remembers them. It's not about if you dream - because you DO, it's about your ability to recall.
Heart "ALONE" is my favorite ❤️
Ann doesn't provide lead vocals on These Dreams, it is Nancy who sings this.
If you need another reason to love Heart, they did so much for the Seattle scene in the early 90’s (grunge era), letting Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam & Soundgarden all rehearse at their studio in Seattle and mentored them on contract issues so they didn’t get screwed over & are still friends with a lot of them…
These Dreams - those people who remember their dreams can relate - in dreams I've had friends I never knew, I've loved, died, flown, laughed, been enlightened -- the subconscious mind is the artistic side of everyone, the dream generator, the mystic at the heart of the undiscovered self - and who are you, that has such dreams -
I love this 😊
Nancy Wilson is the most talented sister, she can do anything
Yes! These sisters are just amazing!!!
Just imagine, Nancy Wilson sings lead, and the song becomes their first ever number one hit. They were around for Time before that came out. And they had a lot of hits before that song came out, but that was the number one.
Omg the lyrics on this song keeps me in tears! “I search for the time on a watch with no hands”
“ Funny how your feet in dreams and never touch the earth”
😭😭😭priceless!!❤
Lyrics: Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Yup - that's Nancy on lead and Anne on lower harmonies - a total switch from what they usually do. This was a HUGE hit when it came out.
Great song, I've always liked it. Crazy thing is that Ann is the voice you think of when you think of Heart, but this song with Nancy singing lead is Heart's biggest hit and their first song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
My wife and I had the opportunity to see heart when we were younger, it was incredible. I remember getting ready for school, and putting on MTV while I got ready for school, and listening to this song as i got ready. Love Heart!
Yes, I'm like Jay and don't remember my dreams. Every once in awhile I may remember a tiny bit but it's almost always nothing. I do love this song. Apparently Nancy ended up singing lead because she had a cold and produced that amazing rasp! Both sisters are so talented and I'm so happy to see you enjoying their music.
I'm the same way with dreams. I may remember a tiny portion once in a while, but never the entire dream.
I remember consciously turning my dreams off as a teenager because I had some worrisome dreams, not quite nightmares in my opinion, but they bothered me.
Earlier this year I lost my mom and she absolutely loved this song I can't ever get through this song without tears I miss ya mom... every moment I'm awake the further I'm away hits so hard
As said before, this song is lyrics by Bernie Taupin, Elton's song writing partner. I believe Nancy wrote music. And of course Nancy in lead singing. This was a HUGE hit.
Martin Page wrote the music.
Imagine having Ann as your backup harmony singer!!😮 Good lawd....
I have been subscribed since nearly the beginning of your channel and I LOVE how much you guys have evolved. You are becoming music experts. Its AWESOME!
Ditto!

"These Dreams" is the song that first made me fall in love with Heart. It still is my favorite song by these ladies!
This is my favorite song by *Heart* .
It's so beautiful, romantic and the lyrics are deep. It makes me emotional and I'm good with that. 🙂
*Amber* , I dream no matter how long or short I sleep. Doze off for two minutes, I dream. I have extremely vivid and detailed dreams and have been told to write a book about them. 😀 I've even had a few lucid dreams, which are quite the experience.
Whenever I'd tell my family I wanted to tell them about a dream, especially when I was younger, they'd say to each other "Let's get a snack, everyone go to the bathroom before she starts, get your comfy pillow and blanket..." 😄 They knew it'd be a long story coming, but listened to every word without any complaints. ❤️
My younger brother very rarely dreamed until he became an adult living on his own, and it was still rare. He's now married with two daughters and dreams a tiny bit more. Maybe it has something to do with work and responsibilities as he gets older.
I think I’ve said it before … my fav band of all time! A huge thx again for heart !! Love and peace ☮️
My absolute favorite Heart song. I love Nancy Wilson on lead vocals. She’s so incredibly talented and somewhat overlooked in the shadow of her sister Annie.
If you love Heart, as do I, how about doing something from the woman who carries the name. Beth Hart. It’s been a long time since we have visited Beth.
♥️✌🏼😎
The beauty of reacting to an official video over a live video is you get a story and telling visuals.
The Wilson sisters are amazing, and always will be, but their great band doesn't get enough love. Kudos to them.
Nancy is an amazing singer too!! Heart is AMAZING!
You can actually find a video here on UA-cam of Nancy in studio recording this song (back in the 80's) and she absolutely kills it. She's incredible ❤
I have loved these beautiful, and talented women since the 70's. You guys are doing a great job, much love to both of you!!
This song actually feels like a dream, it keeps you in peace!
Not only did Nancy sang the lead on this song. she was battling a cold when she recorded this song. That's way she sounded raspy when she was singing.
Like others, this is my all time favorite of Heart! I love to sing this when I go karaoke. It's always a big hit and people love it! How can they not love anything from Heart, right?
Yeah that's right. Shes a hell of a singer in her own right!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
If you guy's love Nancy's vocals here are two great hit songs in which she sings lead: 1) There's The Girl 2) Stranded (Has a nice lead guitar solo).
Ann also sings lead on the outstanding love ballad titled 'I Want You So Bad.' Enjoy!
Although this song came out several years later, it always makes me think of my best friend who died shortly after high school. I still think of him a lot. It’s been more than 40 years.
So talented. Loved their 70s sound and their 80s sound. So many great tunes!
Two great Heart songs which feature Nancy singing along with Ann are "Dog and Butterfly" and their cover of the Led Zeppelin song "Battle of Evermore"! Pu them on your list for some future Female Fridays!!
🤘🏼💚Love Heart so much… whether they’re rocking our hearts out, or showing us their softer side, I love it all. This song takes me to a very specific place in my memory but I’m having a hard time putting words to it, I guess an easier time of life or something like that…thanks for the feeling memory guys 💕😎 I know it’s not quite fitting for a reaction channel but their “B-sides” have some really beautiful music if you’re ever looking for background music in the house or some thing like that… Like ‘dream of the archer’ or ‘sylvan song’ on the B-side of Little Queen…such a great album✌
By the way, you actually are dreaming Jay you’re just not remembering and that’s OK. Many people don’t remember and don’t need to, for me personally if I don’t remember my dreams I feel like I’m gonna go insane! My mom hasn’t remembered a dream since she was a child and she’s totally fine with it. If you want to train yourself to remember your dreams you can, you don’t need to though, your brain is storing them in the exact place that they need to go for you. Sweetest of dreams to you both and reach out if you want to talk about it sometime 🌌✨💙🌙
This song takes me back to the days I'd do anything to be able to relive again.
Yesss!!! Best days of my life. I would go back and never leave. 😭
