“Dreams” by Brooke Taylor is a high energy pop track that is perfect for anyone who can’t quite move on from a breakup. With catchy melodies, enveloping guitars and uptempo drums, “Dreams” provides an invigorating sonic journey from start to finish. With Taylor’s crisp vocals and vulnerable storytelling, the listener is hooked on every beat.
In this track, Taylor sings about how she is still having dreams about an ex, even though the relationship has ended and she desperately wants to move on. She says “ain’t that a funny thing, you can’t control your dreams, no matter how hard you try to,” lamenting the fact that no matter how badly she wants to stop thinking about her ex, her dreams don’t seem to abide by her wishes. The line “it’s tiring, hoping for the best” tells us that she’s still falling victim to believing these dreams, even though she knows the end is irreversible. It’s a relatable sentiment that offers comfort and catharsis to every freshly single person who is hoping to forget the past.
As the muted drum rhythm and steady acoustic strums in the verse open into the earworm melodies, heavy kick, and big guitar textures in the chorus, “Dreams” cements itself as a song worthy of being a hit. The bridge is a particularly fun part of the song, with overlapping hooks dancing through the production and vocal melodies. Rhythmic guitars and unrelenting drums provide the backbone as Taylor slowly builds the vocal performance until her frustrated, impassioned belting takes the stage.
