Dreams (Fleetwood Mac song)

The members of Fleetwood Mac were experiencing emotional upheavals while recording the Rumours album. Mick Fleetwood was going through a divorce, Christine McVie and John McVie were separating, while Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were ending their eight-year relationship. "We had to go through this elaborate exercise of denial," explained Buckingham to Blender magazine, "keeping our personal feelings in one corner of the room while trying to be professional in the other."[http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=1989 "The Greatest Songs Ever!

Stevie Nicks wrote the song in early 1976 at Record Plant studio in Sausalito, California. "One day when I wasn't required in the main studio," remembers Nicks to Blender magazine, "I took a Fender Rhodes piano and went into another studio that was said to belong to Sly Stone, of Sly and the Family Stone. It was a black-and-red room, with a sunken pit in the middle where there was a piano, and a big black-velvet bed with Victorian drapes."

"I sat down on the bed with my keyboard in front of me," continues Nicks. "I found a drum pattern, switched my little cassette player on and wrote 'Dreams' in about 10 minutes. Right away I liked the fact that I was doing something with a dance beat, because that made it a little unusual for me."

When Nicks played the song to the rest of the group, "They weren't nuts about it. But I said 'Please! Please record this song, at least try it.' Because the way I play things sometimes... you really have to listen." The band recorded it the following day. Only a basic track was recorded at Sausalito, with Nicks playing the Rhodes piano and singing. Recording assistant Cris Morris remembers how "all (they) kept was the drum track and live vocal from Stevie – the guitars and bass were added later in Los Angeles." Christine McVie described the song as having "just three chords and one note in the left hand" and "boring" when Nicks played a rough version on the piano. McVie changed her mind after Buckingham "fashioned three sections out of identical chords, making each section sound completely different. He created the impression that there's a thread running through the whole thing."

Producer Ken Caillat made an eight bar drum loop of Fleetwood's drumming to create "deep hypnotic effect". Caillat said of the loop that "It’s funny, but when people talk about the classic rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie and they point to this one song, I’m always amused that they’re talking about a drum loop."{{Cite web|url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/fleetwood-macs-classic-album-rumours-track-by-track-528375|title=Fleetwood Mac's classic album Rumours track-by-track: Songbird|last=Bosso|first=Joe|date=13 December 2022|website=MusicRadar|access-date=10 December 2023}} The electric guitars were sent through four different signals: "a direct signal, a miked signal, a signal running from the output of the amp head, and another direct signal from a volume pedal". These signals were then panned in stereo, which in producer Richard Dashut's estimation, allowed for the guitars to move across the left and right channels "in a very majestic way".{{Cite journal |last=Johnson |first=Heather |date=November 2007 |title=First Hand News: Fleetwood Mac Co-Conspirator Richard Dashut Reflects on Recording and Mixing Rumours |url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GRGM&u=nysl_ca_dmvacces&id=GALE%7CA202437363&v=2.1&it=r&sid=GRGM&asid=47047a19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206002029/http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GRGM&u=nysl_ca_dmvacces&id=GALE%7CA202437363&v=2.1&it=r&sid=GRGM&asid=47047a19 |archive-date=6 December 2018 |access-date=10 December 2023 |website=Gale General Onefile |publisher=Future US, Inc.|volume=18|issue=11}}

When deciding on the proper equipment for the lead vocals, Caillat assembled a series of eight microphones and asked Nicks to sing into them to determine which one she preferred. Nicks ultimately selected a Sennheiser 441 microphone, which was a relatively inexpensive microphone according to Caillat. "When she got to [that] one particular mic and sang into it, she said, 'Oh my god, I love this mic! It sounds great!', and my job was done."{{Cite book |last1=Caillat |first1=Ken |title=Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album |last2=Rojas |first2=Hernan |publisher=Backbeat Books |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-4930-5983-6 |location=Guilford, Connecticut |pages=57}} Caillat placed a windscreen a half-inch away from the microphone and asked Nicks to sing against it so that the lower frequencies of her voice would be captured.{{Cite web|last=Buskin|first=Richard|date=August 2007|title=Classic Tracks: Fleetwood Mac 'Go Your Own Way' |url=https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-fleetwood-mac-go-your-own-way |access-date=December 26, 2023 |website=Sound on Sound}} A guide vocal sung by Nicks was used as the final take, albeit with punch-ins on a few lines, as they could not achieve a superior vocal or recapture the interplay with the drums. In total, Nicks recorded ten different lead vocal tracks.{{cite magazine|title=Engineers/Co-Producers Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat recording the Grammy winning Fleetwood Mac Rumours album|first=Howard|last=Cummings|magazine=Recording Engineer/Producer|date=April 1978|page=34|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Recording-Engineer/70s/Recording-1978-04.pdf}}

Buckingham determined which harmonies to sing during the song's chorus by playing triads on a piano with Nicks and McVie situated around the instrument. Once they settled on their parts, Buckingham, Nicks, and McVie doubled their three-part harmonies to achieve a fuller sound. The band decided that the pre-chorus needed more instrumentation, so Fleetwood added some tom-tom accents starting at the song's 48 second mark. Christine McVie originally played sparse whole notes on a piano during this section, but this was deemed unsuitable, so Dashut suggested the addition of a vibraphone instead, which was also played by McVie. Delay was applied to each vibraphone hit so that each note would repeat. During the same session, Fleetwood wanted to overdub some congas, but the instrument was not readily available, so he waited until the next day to record them.{{cite book|title=Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album|author=Caillat, Ken & Stiefel, Steve|pages=[https://archive.org/details/makingrumoursins00cail/page/320 320-321]|year=2012|publisher=Wiley & Sons|isbn=9781118218082|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/makingrumoursins00cail/page/320}}

In the United States, "Dreams" reached the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 18 June 1977, and held it for one week. On the Adult Contemporary chart, "Dreams" peaked at number 11, making it the band's highest-charting single on that chart during the 1970s.{{Cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/list/469224/the-top-50-adult-contemporary-artists-ever|title=The Top 50 Adult Contemporary Artists Ever|website=Billboard.com|access-date=1 June 2021}} On the UK Singles Chart, "Dreams" went to number 24, staying in the top 40 for eight weeks.

Since its initial release, "Dreams" has re-entered the charts on various occasions. It picked up two additional weeks on the UK charts in 2011 following the airing of the Glee "Rumours" episode. In 2018, "Dreams" returned to the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart at number 14, re-popularized by a viral tweet.{{Cite web|url=https://www.insider.com/fleetwood-mac-meme-video-2018-4|title=A 40-year-old rock song is back on the charts after becoming a viral meme|last=Renfro|first=Kim|website=Insider|date=5 April 2018 |access-date=27 November 2019}} The song also returned to the New Zealand charts for one week in 2019 at number 40.

The same year, it also entered the Irish charts for the first time.

Irish band the Corrs originally recorded "Dreams" for Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, the 20th anniversary album of cover versions which also featured "Don't Stop" by Elton John, "You Make Loving Fun" by Jewel and others from the Goo Goo Dolls and the Cranberries. The cover version was originally recorded similar to the original song until Oliver Leiber transformed the recording into a dance track mixed with a violin and tin whistle hook. It was then remixed by Todd Terry for single release and became the first big hit for the Corrs in the UK, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and staying on the chart for 10 weeks. The video also won the "Best Adult Contemporary Video" award from Billboard magazine in 1998. The Corrs' second studio album, Talk on Corners, was then re-released with "Dreams" added.

The Corrs performed "Dreams" with Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac in their concert at the Royal Albert Hall on St. Patrick's Day, 1998 (which was also Caroline Corr's 25th birthday).

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The Corrs bring an interesting Celtic flavor to the first pop single from Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Although it's difficult to let go of the intense drama of the original recording, the act's earnest delivery is to be commended and appreciated. In an effort to better connect with the kids of crossover radio, club icon Todd Terry has been enlisted to remix the song with a more forceful disco sound. It was a wise move that gives this single a fighting chance in drawing the positive attention of the pop masses."{{cite magazine|first=Larry|last=Flick|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/9reception0s/1998/BB-1998-04-04.pdf|title=Billboard: Single Reviews|magazine=Billboard|date=4 April 1998|page=65|access-date=26 January 2018|author-link=Larry Flick}} Scottish Daily Record praised the cover version as "superb"."Chart Slot".
