1)The Firm were an English rock supergroup comprising former Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers, ex-Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, ex-Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earth Band drummer Chris Slade and bass player Tony Franklin. Formed in 1984, the band had only mediocre album sales, although they did have sellout tours. Page and Rodgers originally wanted former Yes drummer Bill Bruford and fretless bassist Pino Palladino in the group; however, Bruford was contracted to another label and Palladino had tour commitments with singer Paul Young.
Band members
* Paul Rodgers - lead vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar
* Jimmy Page - lead & rhythm guitars, acoustic guitar
* Tony Franklin - bass, keyboards, synthesizer
* Chris Slade - drums, percussion, backing vocals
Both Page and Rodgers refused to play any material from their former bands and instead opted for a selection of Firm songs plus tracks from both their solo albums. The new songs were heavily infused with a soulful and more commercially-accessible sound, courtesy of Franklin's fretless bass guitar underpinning and understated song structure. Despite refusing to play old material, the last track from The Firm, "Midnight Moonlight", was originally an unreleased Led Zeppelin song entitled "The Swan Song". This caused some critics to believe that Page had begun to run out of ideas. In subsequent press interviews, Page had indicated that the band was never meant to last more than two albums. After the band split, Page and Rodgers returned to solo work while Chris Slade joined AC/DC and Franklin teamed up with guitarist John Sykes in Blue Murder.

2) The Firm was an American hip hop supergroup that formed in New York City in 1996. It was created by rapper Nas, his manager Steve Stoute, producer Dr. Dre and production team the Trackmasters. The group, composed of East Coast rappers Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ and Cormega, was introduced via the song "Affirmative Action" on Nas' second LP "It Was Written". Due to a falling out between Nas and Cormega, the latter was replaced with Nature.
Although the group received initial hype and high expectations from fans upon their formation after collectively signing to Dr. Dre's Aftermath label, The Firm's debut album, The Album (1997), generated disappointing sales and mixed reviews. The album, which featured predominant mafioso rap-themes and production from Dr. Dre and the Trackmasters, was criticized for its mainstream, pop-orientation. Their debut album was the group's only release and it subsequently disbanded in 1998 with each member continuing their solo careers.
The group reunited for the song "Full Circle" on Nas' thirteenth album "King's Disease" in 2020.

Dreaming
The Firm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling either side
Running out of space
Living on an edge
Dont stop me
I am only dreaming out you baby
A perfect love in a careless land
You drive me crazy, but you drive me oh...
Losing all the time
In between borderlines
A lot to taken you
You an me, until to my children
show to me
Dont stop me now
I am only dreaming out you baby
A perfect love in a careless land
You're living cold, cold world
You drive me crazy, but you drive me oh...
You remember lately
How you love to hate me
But how I need your love
Dont take it away
No more crying
No more lying
There is no denying my love
Don't take it away!
Moving out the line
Falling either side
Running out of space
I am living, living on beach
Crying through the night
Waiting for a cool day ride
Hope a dream that I need
Lessen and read fidelity
You remember lately
How you love to hate me
But how I need your love
Dont take it away
No more crying
No more lying
There is no denying my love
Don't take it away
My love, my love, my love...
The Firm's song Dreaming creates an atmosphere of desperation and longing, driven by the desperate need to cling to love in the midst of chaos. The first verse speaks to the sense of vulnerability and instability that comes with being in a relationship. The singer is walking a tightrope with nowhere to go and no way to control their own destiny. The chorus begs the listener not to stop them from dreaming of their love in the midst of this chaos. They long for the “perfect love in a careless land” and the hope that love offers.
The second verse continues with the sense of limbo and borderlines. The singer is unsure of what is real and what is fantasy. There is a sense of desperation as they beg the listener not to take their love away. The final verse reveals a sense of nostalgia for the relationship as the singer debates the ups and downs of their love affair. The song employs repeating motifs, both musically and lyrically, to emphasize its central themes of love, vulnerability, longing, and desperation.
