“Dream On” is a song by British musical group Depeche Mode. It was released in April 2001 as the first single from the album Exciter. It 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. Wikipedia®
Depeche Mode – Dream On
Depeche Mode Dream On Lyrics:

As your bony fingers close around me.
Long and spindly death becomes me.
Heaven can you see what I see.
Hey you pale and sickly child.
You’re death and living reconciled.
Been walking home a crooked mile.
Paying debt to karma.
You party for a living.
What you take won’t kill you.
But careful what you’re giving.
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on.
There’s no time for hesitating.
Pain is ready, pain is waiting.
Primed to do it’s educating.
Unwanted, uninvited kin.
It creeps beneath your crawling skin.
It lives without it lives within you.
Feel the fever coming.
You’re shaking and twitching.
You can scratch all over.
But that won’t stop you itching.
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on..
Blame it on your karmic curse.
Or shame upon the universe.
It knows its lines, it’s well rehearsed.
It sucked you in, it dragged you down.
To where there is no hallow ground.
Where holiness is never found.
Paying debt to karma.
You party for a living.
What you take won’t kill you.
But careful what you’re giving.
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on.
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on.
Dream on, dream on.
Dream on, dream on.
