About This Track

“Dream On” is the first single by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this blues-influenced power ballad became their first major hit. Although it peaked at #59 when it was originally released as a single in 1973, it became a Top 10 single in 1976, peaking at #6, when it was re-released as a single. This song was first played live in Willimantic, CT at the Shaboo Inn.

Song was re-done by Aerosmith in 2007 for the game “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith”.
According to the Dream On Songfacts, Tyler said :”It’s about the hunger to be somebody: Dream until your dreams come true.”

Eminem sampled the song for his 2003 hit single Sing For The Moment. In it, Joe Perry of Aerosmith plays the guitar solo at the end of the song, and Steven Tyler sings the song’s chorus.

    Such a classic song. I remember hearing that Tyler was 17 when he wrote these lyrics.

    why caps? because when someone says "Dream on", we're still afraid to dream. but when someone yells "DREAM ON!"... you see the difference?

    Throughout most of this song it doesn't sound like Steven Tyler to me until he starts screaming... Does anyone else agree? (2)

    For the people asking why this track is in CAPS. Whoever first scrobbled the song using last.fm had the song tagged this way using caps. This means the song was originally added to the last.fm database as Aerosmith – DREAM ON instead of Aerosmith – Dream On. Every time you play this song, it will pick it up from the last.fm database and display it as Aerosmith – DREAM ON. Blame the douchebag who had the song tagged that way in the first place.
