Hi all. Just completed this old classic. Had to try a heap of keys to suit my vocal range-bit of a struggle. All comments welcome. Rob
[Link no longer valid]
Beautiful dreamer wake unto me
Starlight and dewdrops are awaiting thee Sounds of the rude world heard in the day
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away Beautiful dreamer queen of my song
List while I woo thee with soft melody
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer awake unto me Beautiful Dreamer out on the sea Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei
Over the streamlet vapors are borne
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn Beautiful Dreamer beam on my heart
Even as the morn on the streamlet and sea
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart
Beautiful Dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful Dreamer awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! A medium-tempo country waltz with background nylon guitar playing melodically. Acoustic steel-string guitar fingerpicking alternates between low and high strings with a swung eighth-note feel and acoustic piano plays in a similar fashion. The acoustic bass plays a very minimal pattern with an emphasis on the downbeat. NashClassicWaltzSw^ RealDrums use their sixth variation with sidestick hits in the A section and heavy brush hits in the B section. This song is in the key of F#m/A and has a solemn feel, created with simple maj/min triads.

Hello, "Rob4580"... Over the years, everytime the song, "Beautiful Dreamer" has reached my ears, it almost always was presented in the context of a parody that mocked romantic sentiments, usually in television shows and commercials. I 'm sure its archaic language had something to do with the disrespectful treatment it has received. This is the first time I've heard it sung in its entirety with all of the lyrics intact. That being said, the way you sing it, "Rob4580", does indeed impart the quality of a dream. I could imagine you crooning the song to win someone's heart on a clear, cloudless night dominated by a big, brilliant moon. I could use some insight into the what is the subject of the song, though !!! Nonetheless, the melody is unforgettable and you wrap your voice around it with all the tenderness of a lover's caress. For all beautiful dreamers, LOREN

Hi Rob,
This was the first non-country song I learned to play on the guitar. I've always loved the simple beauty of the song. This is a lovely version that suits your full, smooth voice. What a treat!
At least you have a vocal range that eventually finds a good key. My vocal range nearly includes a full octave - when it's in good shape! Very, very nice! best to you.
Alan

Rob,
As I wrote on Soundcloud, "Beautiful Dreamer" was the very first song that I learnt to play on the button accordion a few decades ago. As I sat here listening to you excellent presentation, you stirred up many enjoyable memories that I hadn't realised were still in my head. Thank you for that!
All the best, Noel
