About the song
Fleetwood Mac – Dreams is one of the most iconic songs by the legendary British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released as the second single from their highly acclaimed 1977 album, Rumours. Written and performed by Stevie Nicks, the song became the band’s only track to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Its timeless allure and emotional depth have cemented its status as a classic in pop and rock history.
Dreams was written during a turbulent time within the band, as the members of Fleetwood Mac were dealing with intense personal and professional conflicts. Stevie Nicks penned the song in a short amount of time, capturing a sense of longing and reflection inspired by her breakup with bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. The lyrics discuss themes of heartbreak, independence, and finding clarity, resonating deeply with listeners over the decades.
The 1977 album Rumours, which includes Dreams, won the coveted Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978. The record, lauded for its raw emotional honesty and brilliant production, remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide. Dreams has repeatedly been celebrated as one of the standout tracks, showcasing Nicks’ ethereal vocals, Mick Fleetwood’s steady drumming, and the band’s ability to create captivating melodies.
In recent years, the song has experienced a resurgence in pop culture, largely thanks to a viral TikTok video in 2020 featuring “Dreams” playing while a man enjoyed cranberry juice on a skateboard. It introduced the song to a new generation, proving the timelessness of Fleetwood Mac’s artistry.
