Hi Everyone
This week I have been listening to some classic Irish pop songs from the 1990s by bands like
the Cranberries and The Corrs.
When I saw that our open mic friend @rosana6 had played a very nice version of The Cranberries Song "Linger" I thought I
would take a shot at a different song by the same band.
These old Irish pop songs all take me back to my childhood in the early to mid ninities .Songs like this have many fond memories of familiy vacations
attached to them which makes them alot of fun to try and sing.
Anyways I hope you guys enjoy listening to what I came up with for this song.
"Dreams"
The Cranberries
Oh, my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart, so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
Dream to me
Dream to me
Dream to me...

Wow! I'm honored that you were inspired by my entry to make this beautiful cover of Dreams. Irish bands have something really special, plus I relate to what you say about The Cranberries and The Corrs taking you back to childhood and adolescence.
Congratulations on your singing and your guitar playing, especially in this song that has a very soft rhythm.
Keep these cover songs coming!
Thanks so much for the kind words and the inspiration. I wasn't really sure what to play this week , when I saw that you posted "Linger" I knew it was a good week to try another Cranberries song :).
Thanks for the encouragement!
One of my favorite bands from that decade! Such a great era for music. Nice job!
Yeah I get really nostalgic about songs from that era , especially songs by The Corrs.
That's a band I'm not familiar with. I'll have to pull them up on my streaming service. Thanks.
This is a good place to start....I find myself ending every St Patricks day listening to this...They were incredibly attractive back then.... 3 sisters and a brother....even Jim the brother was hot back then :).
What a nice rendition of this song. I like the original very much, but your version too. It is a special one, as it is made with love for Hive 😎
Thank you for your entry @celticheartbeat
Thanks a lot @mipiano this one was fun to sing :)
I congratulate you for such a great participation, you kept me captivated during the whole song, I must say I loved the strumming you did during the whole song, something soft but with a lot of style.
I wish you a lot of success and I hope you keep doing covers of bands like that.
Thanks alot for the kind and thoughtful comments :).Yes I will certainly keep looking for songs by bands from this era to cover.
