The track really suits the vibe of the song and the theme of dreams. Radio by Lana Del Rey (2012)įrom the very start of the song, we are treated to an enchanting, dreamlike tune – almost as if we are part of the dream ourselves. It’s basically telling you to keep going, to keep living in spite of the hardships we might face in life. While most of the song is pretty gloomy, the bridge of “Hold your head up / Keep your head up” takes a more positive turn. Many of these motivations are quite dark: “Some of them want to use you / Some of them want to get used by you. The lyrics talk about people’s dreams, which in this case refers to our motivations or what keeps us going. This is a song I think everyone has heard in one way or another – on TV, on the radio, in the movies…It’s just super catchy with a tune that everyone would recognize if when they hear it! It’s definitely something relatable we finally get the thing we want, but it’s not what we dreamed it would be and that makes us bitter. This is a great record about dreams-but speaks of a dream that perhaps wasn’t what he imagined it to be. From the title and the lyrics, we know that Brendon Urie is talking about how he has achieved his dreams of being successful with his music – “Hey look ma, I made it!”- but with this happiness seems exaggerated or even insincere, especially with the super upbeat tone. Hey Look Ma, I Made It by Panic! At The Disco (2018)Ī sarcastic song about ‘making it’ in the music industry. Anne Hathaway’s performance is heartbreaking and emotional in a way that, at the time, hadn’t really been done before – it isn’t beautiful, but it isn’t supposed to be. The tune itself is melancholy and emotional, and ends with the desolate lyrics, “Now life has killed / The dream I dreamed”. From the very first lyrics, we can tell this isn’t going to be a happy song: “I dreamed a dream in time gone by / When hope was high / And life worth living”.Įven without knowing the musical (or book!), you can really feel the hopelessness of the song. This heartbreaking song tells Fantine’s story – all the things she dreamed of when she was young, but was not able to achieve. I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables (originally 1980)Īfter the 2012 film starring Anne Hathaway as Fantine, “I Dreamed a Dream” is famous not just with musical theater fans, but with a broader audience. Her voice is powerful and the confidence that she projects into the lyrics – “Watch me making my dreams / Promise you’ll remember me / I’m gonna be an icon”- will really having you singing along! She transitions seamlessly from rap to a more lyrical tune. The track is simple, but Shuba’s voice is what really makes this song stand out.
