Dream On (Depeche Mode Song)
"Dream On" is Depeche Mode's thirty-sixth single, released on April 23, 2001 in the UK and April 24 in the U.S. It was the first single from the album Exciter.
"Dream On" is an electronic based song mixed in with acoustic guitar and rough vocals. The single version starts with the guitar, while the album version has David Gahan saying "Can you feel a little love?" before a minimal electro beat opens the song.
The B-side is the instrumental song "Easy Tiger". While the Exciter version is a short interlude, the "Full Version" has an extended intro and continues the song with a similar melody underlined by a beat.
The music video for "Dream On" was directed by Stéphane Sednaoui. One of the special parts of the video is that it was filmed on Route 66, which is also a Bobby Troup song that the band covered in 1987 for the "Behind the Wheel" single.
On June 26, 2001, the band played "Dream On" on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Famous quotes containing the words dream and/or mode:
“He was high and mighty. But the kindest creature to his slaves—and the unfortunate results of his bad ways were not sold, had not to jump over ice blocks. They were kept in full view and provided for handsomely in his will. His wife and daughters in the might of their purity and innocence are supposed never to dream of what is as plain before their eyes as the sunlight, and they play their parts of unsuspecting angels to the letter.”
—Anonymous Antebellum Confederate Women. Previously quoted by Mary Boykin Chesnut in Mary Chesnut’s Civil War, edited by C. Vann Woodward (1981)
“A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
