Best Songs About Dreams

Attention!!!

Dreams are wishes that we hope will come true in our future. Be it an ambition that one has, for which he will work toward in his future, or the hope that all his worries will be over, wherein all the obstacles in his life he managed to overcome. A dream can be for your one true love to be with you at the end, the happily ever after that we all wish would come true. A dream can be your sleepy conscience going wild at night or the nightmares that make your sleep as restless as possible. Yes, dreams at the end of the day keep our imagination alive and breathe life to hope, which kindles the flame of our soul. This list is for all you dreamers out there to keep dreaming.

The compilation consists of a mishmash of genres ranging from Pop, Rock and Rap to Electropop, Eurodance and Opera. There are several soundtracks also featured here.

Best Songs with the Same Name/Title

Attention!!!

You know that annoying moment when you tell a friend that you like a particular song and they ask you about several different hits before the right one. For instance if I say I really like that song Hero and your friend asks you whether its Mariah's, Enrique's or Skillet's and you say no to all three and say it's Chad Kroeger's one. Like this there are many songs out there with the same name which confuse us since most of them are equally good (or equally bad). The title of most of these songs are one words like Angel, Shine, Hero etc. or particular phrases such as "The power of love", "I'll be there for you", "It's my life" etc. Despite the same name most of them have become hits and have won accolades.

The Ultimate Wedding Playlist

Attention!!!

Well this is for all those love birds who are going to get hitched or will tie the knot in the future. Wedding songs are those sappy and cheesy love songs which overflow with so much emotion that you tend to drown in the peachy lyrics that accompany the slow rhythms. These are more or less the songs that the betrothed couple use for their first dance and they are mostly about spending their lives together forever and about new beginnings and how much beautiful the bride is on that day. It's sad that no one speaks about how wonderful the bridegroom looks that night, but I guess the wedding is all about the bride.
