The song was Osbourne's first international single from his album "Down to Earth," which was also his first solo studio album after seven years. 4. The song's lyrics, which talk about environmental issues and a dream of a peaceful world, is, to some extent, reminiscent of the Beatles' song "Imagine." 5.

1. "Dreamer" is a song by Prince, from his 35th studio album "Lotusflow3r," released in 2009. 2. Unlike Osbourne's song, Prince's "Dreamer" is more politically charged, blending bluesy rock with social commentary and personal reflections. 3. It was born out of the artist's concern and sadness for the world's social state, including racial issues, which were themes often explored in Prince's music. 4. Musically, the song has a hard-hitting guitar sound and powerful vocals, which sets it apart from some of Prince's other hits. 5. "Dreamer" was released 3 years after Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. 6. The song is thought to have been inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. 7. In 2015, Prince performed "Dreamer" in Baltimore at a concert intended to promote peace after the death of Freddie Gray. 8. Although not a commercial hit, "Dreamer" has been praised by critics for its strong message and impressive guitar work.
