Dream Weaver

General information

Feature films

Toy Story 3

Composer

Gary Wright

Video

Source "Dream Weaver" is a song by Gary Wright that was a hit single in the US, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 while it reached #1 on the Cash Box Top 100 in 1976. Taken from the album The Dream Weaver released the previous year, it features Wright on vocals and keyboards and Jim Keltner on drums. In 1992, Gary Wright re-recorded a longer version of "Dream Weaver" for the Wayne's World movie soundtrack.

According to Gary Wright, the song was inspired by Autobiography of a Yogi, which was given to him by George Harrison. Paramhansa Yogananda's poem "God! God! God!" made reference to "the idea of the mind weaving dreams." The expression "Dream Weaver" was popularized by John Lennon in 1970 in his song "God", taken from his solo album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. This song depicts Lennon's declaration that he was the dream weaver of the sixties, breaking away from the influences and dogmas that influenced his life.

The song is widely considered the first synth-pop hit song, with all instrumentation created by synthesizer except for the Keltner percussion.

Since then, a similar form of the song has been used to note the meeting between, or the longing of one character for another, as indicated in the 2010 Disney•Pixar animated film Toy Story 3 when Ken first meets Barbie and they get acquainted. The song ends when Lotso tells Ken to come along.

Lyrics[]

I've just closed my eyes again Climbed aboard the dream weaver train Driver take away my worries of today And leave tomorrow behind Ooh, dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Fly me high through the starry skies Maybe to an astral plane Cross the highways of fantasy Help me to forget today's pain Ooh, dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Though the dawn may be coming soon There still may be some time Fly me away to the bright side of the moon And meet me on the other side Ooh, dream weaver I believe you can get me through the night Ooh, dream weaver I believe we can reach the morning light Dream weaver, dream weaver
