I personally feel that 'Dreaming of Me' has always come under heavy criticism for all the wrong reasons. Even on its first release, it failed to become a hit as people took it too seriously and saw it as silly pop-flop. However, over 20 years on, the song to me still retains it's original fun value. This was the roots of Mode, and I can't help but love it! The lyrics, though simple, have a true and child-like value to that of being in a class-room and doodling in your exercise book whilst day-dreaming. This innocence is what draws you to the song, and I just wish Mode had kept this spirit alive longer.
Excellent track, though I recommend just getting the first 'The Singles' album instead, which is obviously better value.
