      Dream Weaver is so old and still futurist at the same time. Just like it was in the early 1970's when it was new. I feel like I lost a friend who spoke to us over the radio so many years ago.
      My heartfelt condolences to his family.

    In 1977, I went out on my boat off the coast of the Florida keys for nice fishing trip. The engine failed and I was adrift for 6 days......the longest and scariest 6 days I ever experienced, specially the nights. This was the song that for some reason, I kept playing over and over till the batteries died, just 2 days before I was rescued by the Coast Guard. A horrifying experience to say the least.
    A few months later, my son, who was a musician, played at a local school for charity, he asked me to come see the performance and that he had a front row seat for me. I accepted, I always loved his music, he and his talented band had always performed beautifully. After playing a few songs, my son announces he has one last special song. There was silence for a few seconds, and then, familiar sounds emerge from the stage along with familiar images projected on a screen behind the band, images of my son and I during his childhood. As the music became intense, I realized he was playing "Dream Weaver". I listen and watched in tears as he sung, in absolute perfection. It was the most beautiful and emotional experience I have ever had, till date. On the very last image, as the song was coming to the end, it was a picture of him hugging me, in tears, when I arrive at the Coast Guard base during my rescue. On that image, words were superimposed, "Dad, you were never alone, I was your dream weaver"
    I cant begin or know how to explain what this song means to me.

    I lost my girlfriend to a car accident in 1976. We would listen to this song and both sing in the car . We would park high up on the mountain on the side of the road over looking Santa Rosa California and talk all night until the sun came up . I can’t get through this song without crying. I often remember how beautiful and remote California was in those days.

    This song encapsulates for me my last years growing up in Tehran, Iran (yes, that Iran!), in the late 70s. I would "borrow" my dad's shortwave radio and sneak up to the roof of our house on those hot summer nights. There, most all roofs are flat giving a great view of the night sky. I would lay on my sleeping bag with the radio as my dreamweaver train, slowly scanning frequencies from around the world while gazing deep into the starry sky. I recall coming across this song frequently and would always pause to listen to whole song. While tracking a satellite slowly drifting across the night sky, or catching a fleeting shooting star, my mind would weave dreams of magnificent things and I knew then that my heart was on fire, my soul was like a wheel turning and my love was alive.

    When I was a kid, way, way back when tv stations actually went off the air overnight (anyone else remember that?), we had a local station in the midwest, that signed off with this song on Friday nights, which was actually during the wee hours of Saturday mornings. I felt like I was the only one still awake on Earth, except for the guy who played this song. The world, I think, was a better place when tv stations signed off overnight.

People always talk about this amazing song and Love is Alive, but I just loved the whole Light of Smiles album even though it never spawned a hit single. His pre-DW music was fantastic as well, including Spooky Tooth. I eventually bought his whole catalog, including his instrumental music from more recent years. RIP Dream Weaver. RIP.

Enjoy it now, because once we're crossed to the other side, you'll never hear it again. It's a product of time, not eternity.

    I was a teenager of 15 when this song came out. So many great songs singers, writers and bands during that era. It truly breaks my heart for the kids of today that they won't experience for the first time what the 1970's music did for us all back then. I was just watching the story of how 10cc created the song; I'm Not In Love. They had to mix 16 different vocal tracks, and it took them 3 days to get what they were looking for. It was something that had never been done before, and because the four of them were such great writers individually, after they released the song they split up. It was like a mountain peak that you'll never be fit enough to climb again.
    In my opinion Dream Weaver was just as good, and just as superbly unique. It was an act of genius on Gary Wright's part. We owe ALL the greats of that decade a debt of gratitude.

    Driver, take away my worries of today
    And leave tomorrow behind
    Ooh, dream weaver
    I believe you can get me through the night
    Ooh, dream weaver
    I believe we can reach the morning light
    Fly me high through the starry skies
    Maybe to an astral plane
    Cross the highways of fantasy
    Help me to forget today's pain
    Ooh, dream weaver
    I believe you can get me through the night
    Ooh, dream weaver
    I believe we can reach the morning light
    Though the dawn may be coming soon
    There still may be some time
    Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
    And meet me on the other side
    Ooh, dream weaver

    Ooh, dream weaver
    I believe we can reach the morning light
