Throwback Thursday: I Dreamed A Dream

Now, while some of these songs might not help you sleep peacefully, they all each have their dreamy vibe. While each track has the word dream featured in it, what makes each so different is the tempo and message. Some of the songs are soft and gentle, while others are upbeat and hard-hitting. So, let’s look back and talk about these dream-filled tracks.

aespa - “Lucid Dream” 

“Falling, calling, chasing.” aespa’s “Lucid Dream” was released on October 5, 2021, from their mini-album Savage - The 1st Mini Album - EP. Is anyone else obsessed with this song like many of us are? This song is graceful and hard-hitting at the same time, which is a classic when it comes to aespa songs. This song is honestly so “dreamy” and is a joy to hear in person. 

MONSTA X - “The Dreaming” 

Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I am a sucker for a ballad, and that's precisely what “The Dreaming” is. This B-side is on MONSTA X’s second English album, The Dreaming. Have you ever had a song that made you lie on your back, and just stare at the ceiling? That’s actually what I do when I listen to this beautiful ballad. MONSTA X is a well-known group with phenomenal vocalists, and they proved that in this song. 

NCT 127 - “Dreams Come True” 

“Dreams Come True” is the retro, upbeat track we all know and love. This B-side is on NCT 127’s no-skip, jammed-packed album, NCT #127 Neo Zone - The Album. This 90’s-inspired track is so light-hearted and fun to dance to. The song brings a smile to your face, and the video does as well. Seeing all the members together and happy will have all of us smiling from ear to ear. 

EXO - “Bad Dream” 

When it comes to these vocal legends right here, you know it's going to hit every time. EXO will always release the most jaw-dropping R&B track that we all will love. “Bad Dream,” a B-side from their fifth album, DON’T MESS UP MY TEMPO - The 5th Album, is laid back and chill. It has a catchy beat that would make you want to dance along and join in the choreography. 

BTS - “No More Dream” 

“I wanna a big house, big cars, and big rings” Who doesn't know this song? Back in 2013, a well-known group in K-Pop, BTS, released their debut track, “No More Dream.” Do you want to talk about hype? This track will excite any listener just from the intro alone. While the title of the song sounds like it might be for a ballad, this song is very different with its intense beat and eye-catching video. It’s such a fun song to listen to and will always remain iconic.
