I just cannot stop listening to this track, I absolutely love everything about it.

It seriously is superb, over and over, just gets better and better!

I say his best recorded track in 20 years!

I also enjoy this track, immensely!

i love this track too but it's not his best studio track in 20 years. i think Colonized Mind is better than this one.

I agree...The "Taget Commercial," would be a great video...and I wish it would be released to the radio as a single...and then..."4Ever..."

It's okay, but it sounds like Kravitz doing one of his Hendrix impressions.

And it also reminds me of Live 4 Love.

Yes, this song kills it. Especially LOUD.

I can say, that in the last 20 years no Prince song, on first listen, hit me as hard as this one.

I bet Dreamer would really rock the house when performed live!!

I think Lotusflow3r as a whole is one of this best albums in at least, if not 20, at least last 10-15 years. Dreamer, Boom, FGFBFW, Wall of Berlin, Colonized Mind... all really top notch

So sad.

i like 'dreamer' because it perfectly invokes the 1995 live sound.

I like it, but it was better the first time I heard it when it was called "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)"

It's defintely a great song and a classic track!

The ending. Oh man. The way he spouts the lyrics about helicopters and chemicals while we sleep. He was feelin it when he recorded this muthafucka.

true!
i preferred colonized, but changed my mind after hearing him perform it live..
dreamer is best all round. it's chockablock with hotness

gets skipped almost every time by me

I get tempted to skip other songs and listen to it...

i agree so much! watching it on leno again tonight was awesome too

Dreamer is amazing. Love this song. Great lyrics, music hits me in the chest like an arrow.

Funny thing is I haven't listened to it in over a week as MPLSound has been in heavy rotation

I like the song, don't get me wrong, but every time I hear it I can't help but think it sounds like Prince imitating Ben Harper covering Hendrix.

the studio version is alright, but i prefer the song live, like on leno and especially on that new conga room boot . faster and he sings it, rather than rap/talk it which i like better . too hendrix-esque to be a classic "prince" song, but awesomeness nonetheless . colonized mind is the complete opposite, amazing studio version and somewhat lackluster on both live versions i've heard

This track is awesome. I'd love to see a performance of this, I bet he's rocking out like a maniac. Conjures up strange memories Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain era Prince.

He was definitely on one the day(s) he was laying this down.

I think 20 years is a bit of a stretch, but I'd agree with 13.

Well...

At least it's the best studio track since "$" to me

Dreamer? Imo. that is not the greatest track since 1989.....

oh, there are so many much greater tracks:

Joy In Repetition
Thieves In The Temple,
The Question Of U,
Gett Off,
Diamonds And Pearls,
Insatiable,
Money Don't matter 2 Night,
Sexy MF,
The Morning Papers,
7,
Gold,
Shhh,
TMBGITW,
Eye Hate U,

- this is just to name a few songs - better than Dreamer,

IMO... don't hate me now lol,

Dreamer is okay but not the greatest since 1989

I like it, but I just cant get hendrix out a my head.
Sounds almost like a cover version.

It's good. Real good. I would put it in my Top20 of the last 20 years. I like to listen to Calhoun Square after I listen to Dreamer. I've got to find some other tracks that I can put with Dreamer to make a Prince rock album.

Yup yup. $ is just pure, classic Prince. Dreamer, while top-notch, does come off a little derivative.

I agree totally. This track rocks and is one of the best from the entire album. Just wish he would release an entire album with such tracks as this one.
