Video
Director: Dani Jacobs
The "Dreams" video was - similar to "What Can I Do" - fairly urgently needed as the song had gone to the UK Radio One (BBC One) playlist which is pretty important as this is the list from which the daily programm is made.
Director Dani Jackobs was originally unavailable because he had a previously scheduled shot in Canada, but he dumped it on the spot and flew to Singapore to shoot "Dreams". When he arrived there, he found that his ideas of a "dreamy, oriental" feel for the video were trashed by Singapore's western looks. Thankfully, the crew found the Thian Hock Keng Buddhist temple in the Telok Ayer Street in Chinatown.
The location was found, yet the crew had picked one of the hottest, most humid days of the year (April 10, 1998), so the Corrs were downing copious amounts of "Evian", spending time in the air-conditioned trailers and Andrea even filmed the entire video with her dress unzipped at the back to keep perspiration at bay.
Trivia
"Dreams" was originally recorded for "Legacy: A tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours" which features cover versions like "Don't stop" by Elton John, "You make loving fun" by Jewel and others from the Goo Goo Dolls and the Cranberries. It turned out to be the first big hit for the Corrs in the UK and the video won the "Best Adult Contemporary Video" award from Billboard magazine in 1998.
The Corrs had the honor to preform "Dreams" together with Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac in their legendary concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1998.
Tee's remix made "Dreams" one of the most successful Corrs singles ever: it reached #6 in the UK single charts and on the whole stayed in the charts for 10 weeks.
