“Dreams” is one of Fleetwood Mac’s most iconic songs, a soft-rock classic defined by its airy groove, emotional lyricism, and haunting vocal melody. Penned by Stevie Nicks, the song explores heartbreak and reflection, delivered with a smooth, melancholic elegance underpinned by subtle instrumentation — drums, bass, keyboards — that lets the voice breathe and convey longing. When released as a single in 1977, “Dreams” became Fleetwood Mac’s first and only #1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, confirming the band’s international breakthrough. Over the decades it has remained timeless, frequently covered and praised for its emotional honesty and atmospheric depth.
