Wallace Collection - Daydream 1969

"Daydream" is a song recorded in 1969 by the Belgian band Wallace Collection as the final track on their debut album Laughing Cavalier. It was composed by band members Sylvain Vanholme and Raymond Vincent, with David MacKay who also produced the single. The song is in the symphonic pop/rock genre, and uses strings and flutes. Its melody is borrowed from the Act II finale of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. It was released as a single in over 20 countries and was a hit in mainland Europe, though its popularity did not extend to English-speaking countries, despite its use of English lyrics.

The song was covered several times, most notably by the Günter Kallmann Choir in 1970; this version was used on a popular easy listening record of the time. As such Kallmann is occasionally mis-credited as the original author of the song. In 2001, English electronic group I Monster had a UK chart hit with "Daydream in Blue", a remix of the Günter Kallmann Choir's version of the song; the track peaked at number 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Günter Kallmann Choir's version was sampled in 2006 by American rapper Lupe Fiasco in "Daydreamin'", featuring soul singer Jill Scott. Fiasco's cover won the Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. The "Daydream" bassline and a similar arrangement were used by Isaac Hayes on "Ike's Rap II", which has in turn been sampled by Portishead, Tricky and Alessia Cara.

The 2009 science fiction drama film Mr. Nobody (starring Jared Leto, Diane Kruger, Rhys Ifans, Toby Regbo, Juno Temple) used "Daydream" several times throughout the movie. In 2016, "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster was featured in the second season of the US television show Mr. Robot starring Rami Malek and Christian Slater. The song was also used in the Marvel series (set in a universe parallel to the X-Men film series) Legion starring Dan Stevens and Aubrey Plaza, in the fourth episode of season three, in 2019. The first season of the psychological thriller series Severance (2022) has also made use of the I Monster version in trailers and during the closing credits of its first season's second episode. The 2005 BBC television series How to be a Gardener written and presented by Alan Titchmarsh used "Daydream in Blue" as part of its extensive soundtrack.
