Right from the start, On And On Records stands out for its authenticity and its innovative take on the music business. Hocus Pocus’ second LP 73 Touches is released by On And On in 2005 which brings a considerable amount of attention to the refreshing label. Soon catching up with the hype and without compromising its sharp and exclusive edge, the label releases Place 54, Hocus Pocus’ fourth album, in 2006. Rewarded by a Gold Record, the opus fast tracks the label out of the independent scene. From that point, On And On keeps asserting itself as a key player on the contemporary music scene, until reaching colossal success with C2C’s first full-length record Tetra, crediting the crew with four French Grammys and a double Platinium Record.
On And On has remained grounded and true to itself despite the huge amount of exposure gotten since 2006. Now fully operational without having to compromise, the label works on both major releases and artists’ development. Recent releases like Ledeunff and 20syl’s EPs, embody On And On’s ability to build an audience for singular and eclectic artists.
Dreams Be Dreams
On and On Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She could hitch a ride out of town
And so far away from that low town good for nothing mistake making fool
With excuses like baby that was a long time ago
But that's just a euphemism if you want the truth he was out of control
But a short times just a long time then your mind just won't let it go
Well summer came along and it then was gone and so was she
A dreams a dream
And all this livings so much harder than it seems
But girl don't let your dreams be dreams
You know this livings not so hard as it seems
Don't let your dreams dreams
Your dreams your dreams be dreams
The song "Dreams Be Dreams" by On and On is about a young woman who is waiting for summertime to come when the weather is fine. She wants to leave her hometown and get away from a low town good-for-nothing mistake-making fool. The man had made excuses in the past, saying that what happened was a long time ago, but that was just a euphemism. He was out of control. The young lady, however, cannot get him out of her mind. She is holding onto the past and cannot seem to let go despite the man's faults.
The lyrics touch on the notion that sometimes our memories hold us back from moving forward, and we create illusions of the past that are not reality. The deception is in believing that the past cannot be changed, and therefore we attempt to recreate it over and over. But in reality, life is much harder than it seems, and we have to be willing to let go and move on to achieve our dreams.
The song has a hopeful message, telling listeners not to let their dreams be dreams. It encourages us to believe that achieving our goals is possible, and not to be weighed down by the hardships life presents. In the end, the young woman leaves her hometown, and the man follows her to tell her to live her dreams regardless of their past.

The 80's was all about being as mysterious and weird as possible
@shabbir9480
it was a greater time but mysterious to the people born after it

Damn can u explain that me I'm a 2000s baby
@JenFromWebsite
@@yeezytheslump1709 if you watch other music videos from the 80s (“Visage-Fade to gray” or “The Cure-The forest) you’ll see that most of them are weird and mysterious. They don’t make sense. The lead singers also act really weird. That’s just the 80s. The reason for this is probably because music videos started becoming extremely popular at that era and artists wanted to stand out from the usual pop music that everyone heard.
