  • Lukas from Poland I just heared Dreamer and its one of this song that will stuck in my head, and the music video is just WOW, i love it
  • Lane Schroeder from Eau Claire, WiDoes anyone know if ELO was consulted on the background strings & vocals? So reminiscent of them.
  • Ariznd from Demak, Indonesiai like ozzy's song,
    dreamer and mama i'm comin home,
    hmm..
    it makes me miss my mom,
    anyway, ozzy is big influence to me...
  • Luke from Dayton, OhIve liked Ozzy with and without black sabbath for a long time, but i never knew ozzy wrote a song like this. Its touching, isnt it?
  • Robert from Atlanta, GaThe one Ozzy Osbourne song with barely any metal at all!
  • Bess from San Diego, CaMy mom won't give Ozzy a chance! I tell her this is like his "Imagine," that he was really influence by The Beatles and John Lennon, and she says, "For him to even utter his [Lennon's] name . . ." She is 52 . . .
    Oh, well. I love this song! And I've seen some "Osbourne's" episodes. Pretty good stuff.
  • Kyean from Slp, MnYou gotta give it up to Zakk for the amzing solo in the song and ozzy awesome singing
  • Andrew from Pittsburgh, Paand I am not from RI, lol
  • Andrew from Pittsburgh, RiOzzy is "dreaming" of a world free of the things that divide people. Beautiful.
  • Lisa from State College, PaI love this song! It makes me cry! It's just that beautiful!
  • Derek from Brampton, CanadaIt sounds to me like Ozzy is trying to give the exact same message that John Lennon did with Imagine. He discounts religion and points to all the wrongs in the world today and also mentions that nothing has changed in the history of mankind in regards to how we treat one another. Great song!!!
  • Ravyn from Hell, Ny"I didn't have any intention of writing a ballad, but then this beautiful melody came to me followed by all of the lyrics. Everyone knows that I love the Beatles, especially John Lennon. I feel that this is my 'Imagine'."

    -Ozzy
  • Ashley from Moncton, CanadaThis is one of my favourite Ozzy songs.
  • Bridget from Whittier, CaI Love this song it all so made me think about the world and how i wish it could be better for my kids. And also it was my husbands and mine wedding song.
  • Queen from Carmel, NyThis is my favorite Ozzy song I think that it means that people dream about making things better but they just never do it and how imagining something is not actually doing anything
  • Myrene from Papakura, New ZealandThis song is definately in my Top 10 of Ozzy's hits!
  • Lacy from Yukon, OkThis song, along with "Imagine" make me cry. Really. This song really proves that Ozzy has both personal and musical integrity.
  • Caitlin from Sailsbury, Ncthis is a very moving song its been one of my favorites since i first heard it i about drove my sister crazy listening to it every five minutes
  • Ørjan from Narvik, NorwayFunny thing happened today. AI listened to Dreamer. When I heard "After all there's only just the two of us" I got to thinking about the cold war. The song makes more sense now.
  • Greg from Calgary, United StatesThis song seemed a bit out of place on "Down to Earth" (which btw I loved) but is still very beautiful. You could clearly see John Lennon's influence in this.
  • Pawel from Wroclaw, PolandI never liked Ozzy but since I heard the song I changed my mind. It's all about beeing told to be mad and evil when you're just not. I'm glad that this song shows people the other side of Ozzy.
  • Josh from Sunbury, PaAbsolutly right... this is a very meaningful song... and proves that Ozzy is all about peace and love... despite what people think!
  • Josh from Huntington, InThis was a great song, it moved me the first time i listen to it
  • Rebekah from Prince George, VaTo me its about dreamin about how things shoud be and then not ever making them real
