6951. Harry Chapin - Dreams Go By
From: Portrait Gallery ; Year: 1975; Genre: Folk/Folk Rock Kind of surprised once more that I have not chosen a song from a certain artist. Harry Chapin has always been one that had some influence on me and my musical tastes; most will remember him for his giant hit Cat's in the Cradle , but in the short time he was on this Earth writing and recording he made a profound mark. He is another one of those troubadours poets that told amazingly detailed tales within all of his songs. This song is kind of a "scrapbooking" track in that it follows a couple throughout their lives at various points. The main theme is how you put off your dreams and aspirations when family life comes into being. Whilst the couple in the story did not live out their ambitions, they still had a successful live seeing all of their progeny succeed. Hear Dreams Go By on YouTube.
