“Only trouble is/Gee whiz/I’m dreaming my life away” — Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, made famous by the Everly Brothers

It’s no surprise that songwriters are big on dreaming. It’s often where their songs come from. Paul McCartney, for instance, has said that both “Yesterday” and “Let It Be” originated in dreams.

My Pop Stand playlist only skims some of the obvious dreamy songs.
