"A Dream" is a song by DeBarge. Written by Bunny DeBarge and produced by El DeBarge, the song is from their hit album In a Special Way. Although the track was not released as a single, the song has been popular over the years on R&B radio and has been sampled by several artists in the hip-hop and urban contemporary genres.
Background
"A Dream" was one of the few songs in which DeBarge member, sister Bunny DeBarge played a role as both its songwriter and its lead vocalist while her four brothers (Mark, Randy, El and James DeBarge) sung in the background. The song talked of a woman's dose of reality when she realizes the happiness she thought she felt with a suitor wasn't real, recalling how at one point she and her lover "danced to a melody" of a song, then when "the music stops", she realizes the dream is "haunting (her) again".
Samples, covers and other use
In the following years, the song would be used as a sample for some R&B and hip-hop songs, mainly used in the basis of hit singles for Blackstreet (their 1997 hit, "Don't Leave Me"), Tupac Shakur (his 1996 single, "I Ain't Mad At Cha"), and Fifth Harmony (song off their 2014 album, "We Know"). In 1997, R&B singer Mary J. Blige covered the song for the soundtrack to the Chris Tucker film, "Money Talks". That same year, during a scene in the "Soul Food" film, Michael Beach played a variation of the song's instrumental intro as rehearsal for his wife's cousin Faith (played by Gina Ravera) for a dance audition. In 2003 Keshia Chanté used a sample of it in a song titled "Unpredictable". It was also used in 2008 by Lady Gaga on the song "Paper Gangsta." Victoria Beckham also sampled "A Dream" in an unreleased song she recorded titled "Back To You"
"A Dream" is a poem by English poet William Blake. The poem was first published in 1789 as part of Blake's collection of poems entitled Songs of Innocence.
Background
Songs of Innocence is a collection of 19 illustrated poems published in 1789. According to scholar Donald A. Dike, the collection does not “describe an absolute state of being or fashion an autonomous truth.” Rather, he says the poems are resistant, being “consciously against something and trying to see their way through something.”
Songs of Innocence was followed by Blake's Songs of Experience' in 1794. The two collections were published together under the title Songs of Innocence and of Experience, showing the "two contrary states of the human soul.”
The Poem
Once a dream did weave a shade
O'er my angel-guarded bed,
That an emmet lost its way
Where on grass methought I lay.
Troubled, wildered, and forlorn,
Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
Over many a tangle spray,
All heart-broke, I heard her say:
'Oh my children! do they cry,
Do they hear their father sigh?
Now they look abroad to see,
Now return and weep for me.'
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is an Americanrock band from Vermont. Formed in 2002 in Waitsfield by drummer Matt Burr, guitarist Scott Tournet, and singer Grace Potter. They began their career as an indie band, self-producing their albums and touring extensively in the jam bands and music festivals circuit, playing as many as 200 gigs in a year. In 2005 they signed for Hollywood Records; they have published four studio albums, encompassing rock subgenres such as blues rock, folk rock, hard rock, and alternative rock. Their third, self-titled album (2010) has been a major commercial success, topping iTunes charts and receiving international attention.
The band is fronted by lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalistGrace Evelyn Potter (born June 20, 1983), who is known for her vocal qualities—evocative of blues rock singers like Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, or Koko Taylor—as well as for her vibrant energy on stage. Besides playing with the Nocturnals, Potter has also released solo material and collaborated with other artists including Kenny Chesney and The Rolling Stones.
Windows DreamScene is a utility that allows videos and .gif and other optimized animations to be used as desktop wallpapers. It is one of the Windows Ultimate Extras. Prior to its official announcement, DreamScene was rumored to be in creation under the names Motion Desktop and Borealis. After several months of testing, the final version was released on September 25, 2007.
Rendered content included with DreamScene (such as an animated realization of the Windows Aurora background) was produced by Stardock, while photographic content was provided by the Discovery Channel. Third-party video content in MPEG or WMV format may also be used. In addition, AVI files can be played by altering the file extension.
One of the purported advantages of DreamScene over previous methods of desktop animation is that it makes use of the GPU for display instead of the CPU, leaving the latter free to perform user tasks. To what extent this is achieved is not specified. When a full-screen program is run, such as a game or any window that is maximized, the video will automatically stop since the video will not be seen; this means it uses less GPU and CPU. The video can also be stopped manually. Content encoders need to strive for a balance between compression and file size; decompression requires the CPU, but larger files take up more memory and may cause the disk to be accessed more frequently.
Dream is a brand of white chocolate by Cadbury. It is no longer manufactured in the UK and Ireland, but is still produced in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It is similar to a Milkybar, which is made by Nestlé. Some of the difference between it and Milkybar is that "Dream" uses real cocoa butter, is slimmer then the Milkybar, and the Milkybar uses puffed rice. It was first launched in Australia and New Zealand in 2001. According to Cadbury, the product became one of the top five block chocolate brands in New Zealand and had driven growth in the overall chocolate market. In 2002, the product was launched in the United Kingdom and Canada and was featured in the credits for Coronation Street.

"A Dream" is a song by DeBarge. Written by Bunny DeBarge and produced by El DeBarge, the song is from their hit album In a Special Way. Although the track was not released as a single, the song has been popular over the years on R&B radio and has been sampled by several artists in the hip-hop and urban contemporary genres.
Background
"A Dream" was one of the few songs in which DeBarge member, sister Bunny DeBarge played a role as both its songwriter and its lead vocalist while her four brothers (Mark, Randy, El and James DeBarge) sung in the background. The song talked of a woman's dose of reality when she realizes the happiness she thought she felt with a suitor wasn't real, recalling how at one point she and her lover "danced to a melody" of a song, then when "the music stops", she realizes the dream is "haunting (her) again".
Samples, covers and other use
In the following years, the song would be used as a sample for some R&B and hip-hop songs, mainly used in the basis of hit singles for Blackstreet (their 1997 hit, "Don't Leave Me"), Tupac Shakur (his 1996 single, "I Ain't Mad At Cha"), and Fifth Harmony (song off their 2014 album, "We Know"). In 1997, R&B singer Mary J. Blige covered the song for the soundtrack to the Chris Tucker film, "Money Talks". That same year, during a scene in the "Soul Food" film, Michael Beach played a variation of the song's instrumental intro as rehearsal for his wife's cousin Faith (played by Gina Ravera) for a dance audition. In 2003 Keshia Chanté used a sample of it in a song titled "Unpredictable". It was also used in 2008 by Lady Gaga on the song "Paper Gangsta." Victoria Beckham also sampled "A Dream" in an unreleased song she recorded titled "Back To You"
Look at us lately Take a look at us now for goodness sake The love we were feeling Hit the ground what a mistake We were wild We were crazy Then we cried like the pouring rain Look inside hold the pain in But it keeps coming back I had a dream A dream that we would be together Why won’t the dream ever come true What am I gonna do Two of us praying That one of us someday soon would change This crime of believing breaks a heart so delicately Bitter sweet the days I can remember together Now all I can do is think of you I had a dream A dream that we would be together Why won’t the dream ever come true What am I gonna do I had a dream A dream that we would last forever I had a dream and now I know I Shouldn’t have let you go In the night I hear a voice It whispers in my ear It speaks of dark denied desires I had a dream A dream that we would be together Why won’t the dream ever come true What am I gonna do I had a dream A dream that we would last forever I had a dream and now I know
