Like Dreamers Do

About Like Dreamers Do

"Like Dreamers Do" is a song written by Paul McCartney in 1959 and is one of the earliest written songs credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was most notably performed by the Beatles at their unsuccessful 1 January 1962 audition for Decca Records. This performance, which took place before Ringo Starr joined the band and featured Pete Best on drums, was recorded by Decca and was finally released on the Beatles' Anthology 1 in 1995. In 1964, the track was recorded by Decca Records band the Applejacks and released as the group's second single, reaching No. 20 on the UK Singles Chart. The Applejacks worked with Mike Leander from Decca as the musical director. Bas Muys covered "Like Dreamers Do" on his 1989 album Secret Songs: Lennon & McCartney, in a similar style to The Beatles' original performance. Australian Beatles tribute band The Beatnix also covered it for their 1998 release It's Four You. McCartney has commented that he was not fond of the song and considered it a throwaway. Seattle band Apple Jam covered this song on their 2009 album, Off the Beatle Track, in the style of "This Boy". more »

I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems
That I will love her
Oh you, you are that girl
In my dreams
And so it seems
That I will love you

And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss

And I, I, I, I
Oh I'll be there, yeah
Waiting for you, you, you, you, you
You, you came just one dream ago
And now I know that I will love you
I knew when you first said hello
That's how I know
That I will love you

Waited for the bliss

The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. more »
