The backing vocals on the song are sung by Mike Mahoney, ex-boyfriend of Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan. This hit was also a main feature of the Cranberries in the 1994 Woodstock Revival Festival.
There are two versions of the video. The first version shows the Cranberries performing the song in a dimly-lit aquatic-themed room interspersed with shots of geometric flowers hitting water.
The second version, which was most-known, shows the Cranberries performing the song in a nightclub. After which, Dolores O'Riordan heads out to a house where graverobbers dressed in black have placed in a very large tree pile. Dolores bathes the tree pile in water and a man is buried under the pile. The water frees him and in the final seconds of the video, the man wakes up.

Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh
All the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me
Into my faith you and your baby
It's out there, if you want me I'll be here
It's out there, it's out there
It's out there, if you want me I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
It's out there, it's out there
It's out there, if you want me I'll be here
It's out there, it's out there
It's out there, if you want me I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
Dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh, uh
The lyrics of The Cranberries' 'Dreaming My Dreams' present the notion of the intense connection and faith between people in a romantic relationship. It highlights how the little things that are shared in a relationship can mean so much to the other person, how perspective can change, and how a connection can change the way you see everything. Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's voice is melodic and emotive, making the song feel intimately personal. The lyrics talk about how if the lover wants the singer, she will be waiting for him, dreaming their dreams together. The lyrics give the sense of two people who are deeply in love and have a profound understanding of each other.
The line "It's out there, it's out there, if you want me I'll be here" indicates that the singer is ready to stay devoted to her lover forever. She is constantly dreaming of being with him, and it is the only place she feels at home. The repetition of "Uh uh uh uh" throughout the song emphasizes the hypnotic and beautiful nature of the lyrics. It also creates a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere that suits the song's message of dreaming with someone special. The song is infused with a beautiful simplicity - the words are incredibly straightforward making it easy to connect with and understand.

Lyrics:
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
Aah, la-ah-la-ah
La-la-la
La-ah-la-ah
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Possible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

What is the chief end of man ?
Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
There is a reason why there is something rather than nothing and it is predicated on the uncaused, non contingent, first cause of all contingency...

Wait for me
@Dclayallday24
+Neutralny, Wahhhhh. You're a crybaby, the 90's were awesome. You're obviously too young to understand it.
@Dclayallday24
+Steven MacDonald, You simply can't compare times. Cheaper gas, Better music, healthier foods. Of course no one is living in the past, it's simply impossible. But let's face it times suck now, but I don't expect you to agree with me.
@Sylkenwolf
+Damien C I agree! Nothing is made worth a crap!
