Aerosmith's Dream On: 1973 Debut Single and Its History
Dream On, Aerosmith's 1973 debut single, was originally written by Steven Tyler on a Steinway upright piano and has a history spanning its original chart run, a re-release, and a later Eminem sample.
Dream On was Aerosmith's 1973 debut single and was played in the band's six-song mini-sets at their two Hollywood Bowl comeback shows. Steven Tyler's Dream On was originally written on a Steinway upright piano in the living room of Trow-Rico Lodge in Sunapee, roughly four years before Aerosmith started.
Aerosmith got together in Boston in 1970. The band's self-titled debut album was recorded at Boston's Intermedia Studios in late 1972, and it was released in January 1973, with Dream On released as a single in June. Dream On reached No.59 on its first release.
Dream On was re-released about three years later after the success of the album Toys In The Attic. Eminem sampled Dream On on his 2002 song Sing For The Moment. Tyler said Dream On's lyrics were written while he was stoned, as he told Rolling Stone in 1994.
