Description

"Dream On" is a power ballad by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this song was their first major hit and became a classic rock radio staple. .In a 2011 interview, Tyler reminisced about his father, a Juilliard-trained musician. He recalled lying beneath his dad's piano as a three-year-old listening to him play classical music. "That's where I got that Dream On chordage," he said was their first major hit and became a classic rock radio staple. Tyler says that this was the only song on the band's first album where he used his real voice. He was insecure about how his voice sounded on tape, so for the other songs, he tried to sing a bit lower and sound more like soul artists, such as James Brown. The song is also famous for its building climax to showcase Tyler's trademark screams. The main riff and chorus of the song were sampled in the 2002 song "Sing for the Moment" by rapper Eminem on The Eminem Show that also features a solo from Joe Perry.

The song has been covered by many artists including: Reece Mastin (X Factor Australia), Caleb Johnson (winner of American Idol 2014), Matthew Morrison duet with Neil Patrick Harris (Glee), Martha Walsh (The Weather Girls), Morgan James with Postmodern Jukebox, Ronnie James Dio (with Yngwie Malmsteen), Blessthefall, Anastacia and many more.
