      That's not why it sounds different to them, they've reacted to Van Hagar before. It sounds different because, as Brad said, it's a softer side of the group, a power ballad. Very different from the pure rocker Van Hagar song, "Poundcake", they recently reacted to.

      @@Cosmo-Kramer The softer side of Van Halen indeed-- and not intended as shade, but a more mature Van Halen by then, too. Eddie wanted to stretch his musical wings, and Sammy came along and said "Do it, man!", and 5150 happened, and the rest is history.
      Van Halen was always pretty diverse, but starting with 5150, they really started covering a LOT of new musical territory.
      This song in particular is probably my favorite inspirational Van Halen song. It's not about love between two people so much-- it's more about having hope and not giving up on your dreams, even when things are tough-- look to your dreams for inspiration and motivation. Song makes me smile every time I hear it.

      Van Halen was one of those bands that you cranked at a house party after everyone had a few beers in them. But after Sally Hagar joined, it sure didn't sound like Van Halen anymore. She was cute and all, screeching out all those high-pitched love ballads... but most people I know longed for Dave's return.
      I guess 5150 got decent radio play, but it just failed in every way possible as party music. Sadly, Van Halen just kinda faded from rock-god status, and melded themselves into the 1980's hair-band pop culture.

    Ready to have your mind blown? The song, "Right Now" which was featured on the Sammy Hagar era of VH album, "OU812", was written in 1983 shortly after the VH album, "Diver Down" was released. Ed was already exploring a new direction for their music, even back then when Dave was still a member of this incredible band. Imagine pre, "1984" and "Right Now" was already on tape sitting inside 5150. We were all lucky to live in a time period on earth that Edward Van Halen existed. He is truly missed. Dreams is a great song. Both eras were absolutely incredible.

    Dreams is about picking yourself up, and going for achieving the visions in your mind and heart, when people tell you that you can't or won't. Sammy said he was inspired by Eddie's opening keyboard riff to write the song, because he needed to up his songwriting, as he was now in a band with someone who upped his musicianship. One of the 80s most inspiring songs, and one of my absolute favorites from the mighty Van Halen.

    • @woodch

      Couldn't have put it better. This song-- it's not a love song, it's not a ballad, it's not political. It's just a message about not giving up on your dreams and letting them inspire you, even when things are tough. It's one of those "Feel Good" songs (coincidently, the next song like this from VH was "Feels So Good" from OU812) from this era that seem all too rare these days.

    That's what fans refer to as Van Hagar. (when lead singer David Lee Roth was replaced by Sammy Hagar) Eddie and David Lee Roth weren't getting along after their hit album 1984, so they auditioned new singers and the band picked Sammy Hagar, and then released the album 5150 in 1986. This was the 2nd single released. Why Can't this Be Love, Love Comes Walkin' In, and Summer Nights were some other great songs form the album. They changed their style a bit with Hagar as he worked a lot with Eddie on writing the songs.

    This is their first album after David Lee Roth. It's the first album that was really done just by Eddie and Don Landee. Eddie always liked playing keyboards, but Roth always complained about how un rock n roll it was. He had to pull teeth to record the song Jump. So this was the album where Eddie got to really do the keyboard songs he always wanted to do instead of just playing guitar.
    Also probably one of the hardest VH songs to sing because the range is so damn high up there.

      While I prefer the Roth era, this album is strangely underrated by the critics at large. The only real dud is the last thing, "Inside". The rest of the songs are great, even the poppy songs that I've never liked (like this one). "1984" sucks all the oxygen, but this record is basically just as good. I think 1984, 5150, and OU812 constitute a distinct era, despite the first one having a different singer. Very ornate 80s pop with occasional blistering rockers. The VH records before and after don't have quite the same mix.

    Older Van Halen fans were not enthusiastic when the band announced that original singer David Lee Roth had left the band in 1985... but Eddie Van Halen (guitar) had been experimenting w/ keyboards & synthesizers in his studio. The success of keyboard-oriented VH songs like 'Jump' and "I'll wait" inspired Eddie to write more in that direction... but Roth was increasingly frustrated and unhappy w/ that musical direction. David Lee Roth released a solo EP in '85 and had aspirations (movies & music) outside of Van Halen, which led to the split that year.
    A chance phone call w/ solo singer Sammy Hagar got Eddie Van Halen to persuade the veteran rocker to visit Eddie's studio, where he played Hagar his new music... Sammy Hagar was not looking to join Van Halen at the time, but he said he was blown away by the music Eddie was writing and added his lyrics and vocal melodies; after hearing the songs he had finished... he agreed to join Van Halen.
    The 1986 album was titled '5150' and it went to #1 on the US charts... outselling David Lee Roth's solo album "Eat 'em and smile"... Sammy Hagar admitted that Eddie Van Halen was as good as any keyboard player he had worked with, and the music was incredible in his opinion. The '5150' record and the 'OU812' Van Halen albums were very keyboard-oriented, compared to guitar-heavy VH records w/ Roth on vocals... but Hagar encouraged Eddie to work on music he felt passionate about. One track from 1988 was a country-style tune "Finish what ya started" which Hagar played guitar on... Van Halen would return to their guitar-heavy roots on their 1991 album 'For unlawful carnal knowledge'.

    VH definitely had a different sound with Sammy Hagar as the lead. He brought a new dimension to the band. Be sure to check out Best of Both Worlds, it's a great mix of the old and new eras.

      Not just what Sammy brought - WHICH WAS A LOT - but what he enabled Eddie to do.
      It's funny how so many lay the Sammy era sound to Sammy, but this is where Eddie was musically at the time.
      God I love this band!

      The thing is the record company and the radio stations always pushed the pop songs so when people think of the Hagar era that’s all they think

    “... The Van Halen brothers learned to play the piano as children starting at the age of six. They commuted from Pasadena to San Pedro to study with an elderly man, Stasys (Stanley) Kalvaitis who taught them classical piano. Although they hated the commute, they continued as their mother would discipline them if they refused to go. Van Halen revealed in an interview that he never could read the music. Instead, he learned from watching and listening. During recitals of Bach or Mozart, he would simply wing it. From 1964 through 1967, Edward won first place in the annual piano competition held at Long Beach City College. Afterward, the judges would comment that he had an interesting interpretation of the classical piece. Van Halen’s view was, “What? I thought I was playing it correctly!” So Eddis was born in 1955, meaning that he was competing from age 9 to 13 on Piano and winning... keyboards weren't an afterthought to him and , to me, it kind of explains why it was natural to him to bring his right hand to the neck and start tapping notes that he couldn't reach with his (already busy) left hand. That's what you DO on a piano.

      Sammy was also in a contract with Van Halen and wasn't supposed to be strengthening his own agenda, which clashed with executives at the music label. HE was the end of Van Halen, just like Yoko Ono was the end of the Beatles.

    My girlfriend miscarried a little over a year ago. Nothing I did or said would help her feel better that day. Then I got the idea to play this song. So I asked her if she wanted to go for a car ride, we got in, I played this song. And she kept replaying it. It helped her get through it. It’s a very emotional song and inspirational song. It means a lot to her, she plays it more often than not when she feels down.
