ABOUT THE SONG

Dreams by the Irish band The Cranberries was released in 1992 as their debut single and later appeared on their 1993 debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?. Written by Dolores O’Riordan and Noel Hogan, the original recording is centred around E major and is known for its shimmering guitar sound, energetic rhythm and Dolores O’Riordan’s distinctive vocals. Wikipedia The song became an important early international hit for the band and remains one of their best-known tracks. On ukulele, it is a great piece for practising steady rhythm, repeated chord patterns and expressive playing while keeping the light, flowing character of the original.
