Daydream Believer

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to take you on a journey back to the groovy 60s with a timeless classic that will have you tapping your feet and singing along. I’m talking about “Daydream Believer” by The Monkees.

Released in 1968 as part of their album “The Birds, the Bees & the Monkees,” this song quickly became a chart-topping hit and a fan favorite. Written by John Stewart, a member of the folk group The Kingston Trio, “Daydream Believer” showcases the Monkees’ signature harmonies and catchy melodies.

The composition history of this song is quite interesting. John Stewart originally wrote it for his friend, the legendary folk singer, Mama Cass Elliot. However, when The Monkees heard the demo, they fell in love with it and decided to record their own version. And boy, are we glad they did!

So, what’s the meaning behind “Daydream Believer”? Well, the lyrics tell the story of a person who chooses to live in a world of dreams and optimism, despite the challenges and disappointments of reality. It’s a song that encourages us to hold onto our dreams and find joy in the simple pleasures of life.

The influence of “Daydream Believer” extends far beyond its initial release. It has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Anne Murray and Susan Boyle, and has been featured in various movies and TV shows. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences of all ages.

If you want to dive deeper into the world of The Monkees and their music, I highly recommend checking out their album “The Birds, the Bees & the Monkees.” It’s a treasure trove of catchy tunes and feel-good vibes that will transport you back to the golden era of pop music.

So, what are you waiting for? Put on your headphones, turn up the volume, and let “Daydream Believer” whisk you away on a musical journey. Trust me, you won’t be able to resist singing along to this infectious tune. Enjoy!

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Seven-AWhat number is this, Chip?Seven-A!Okay, know what I mean, like, don’t get excited, menIt’s ’cause I’m short, I know
Oh, I could hide ‘neath the wingsOf the bluebird as she singsThe six o’clock alarm would never ringBut six rings and I riseWipe the sleep out of my eyesMy shavin’ razor’s cold and it stings
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
You once thought of meAs a white knight on his steedNow you know how happy I can beOh, and our good time starts and endWithout dollar one to spendBut how much, baby, do we really need?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it meanTo a day…
