    "comment": "Ric Ocasek of The Cars produced this great song, written by Martin Reverby and Alan Vega (Boruch Bermowitz).\n--\nDream Baby Dream is unquantifiable. There’s a weightlessness to it, a timelessness too, which perhaps explains why it’s circled back around. Anchored by an urgent electric drum beat that lurks like a ticking bomb beneath Vega’s murky vocals, its lyrics are stark, yet impenetrable. “Dream baby dream, forever and ever,” sings Vega in a voice that has been likened to Elvis – though it’s more of a hazy drawl, with Vega swallowing his consonants as if he lacks the enthusiasm to let his lips touch. “Yeah those dreams keep you free.”\nHere's an in-depth article about this song and its reimagining by artists like Bruce Springsteen and Neneh Cherry: https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/oct/30/suicide-dream-baby-dream-bruce-springsteen-adam-curtis-american-honey",
