Incredible live performance of power ballad supreme Dream On, by Aerosmith on The Midnight Special, 8.16.74. Immortal moments of Existentialism.
Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, yeah
I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know and everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know it's true All the feelings come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear Sing it with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Well, sing with me, sing for the year Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear Sing it with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream until your dream come true Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream until your dream come true...
"The music for 'Dream On' was originally written on a Steinway upright piano in the living room of Trow-Rico Lodge in Sunapee, maybe four years before Aerosmith even started. I was seventeen or eighteen. ... It was just this little thing I was playing, and I never dreamed it would end up as a real song or anything." --Steven Tyler.
Tyler completed the lyrics at age 14.
