I am an American. I spent two weeks in Honduras in Central America and one night I was hanging out with some locals. A young man pulled out an old beat up guitar and strted playing Dream On perfectly. He did not know how to pronounce the English lyrics - so I started singing. A HUGE crowd gathered in a mountain village of Honduras as we - two strangers - connected through this beautiful song. It was sublime.

I agree, she's quite intuitive and she often quickly recognizes what a producer was trying to do by approaching something this way or that. And as for this example, things like that are generally intentional, and I seem to remember Tyler saying at the time it was released that it was an alarm. Regardless, most other artists I know learned over time that that the difference between so-called good and bad artists isn't how much talent they might have inside them, but how many ways they find to let it out. That creative choice to end the song that way is the kind of next-level layer of meaning that a less experienced band or producer misses as an opportunity. It's what makes the great people so great--they are doing so much more--and it's also why every one of us always has room to grow.

Insightful reaction, guys! A quick little story...Aerosmith played a fund raising concert for my fledgling private elementary school, and my pops was involved in the booking. It was 1974 for the tour of their second album "Get Your Wings." Some of my mates and myself got to go backstage and greet them before the show. They couldn't have been nicer; especially Steven Tyler who gave us high fives and a minute or two of small talk. Then watched them from up front. I was 10 at the time and will never, ever forget it & thought I'd share. Cheers!

Right with you there. I "like" Aerosmith but never really got into them, but this song has great power and meaning - that may be it too - many of their songs are superficial and shallow about sex, drugs and rock n roll and that's all well and good, but there's not much to sink you teeth into. This one just hits different. Also his singing is more subdued and you hear more of his range instead of the constant high, head screams he is famous for. Here, he only uses his scream to accentuate at the end and I think (and Lex certainly agrees!) that makes the switch to the high, power scream much more impactful.

It took a whilefor the song to become a hit. Steven Tyler wrote it when he was a teenager, before Aerosmith existed. It was released as a single off their first album in 1973, but stalled at 59 on the pop charts. Two years later, their third album ("Toys in the Attic", which had "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion" on it) had taken off commercially. Late that year, the label re-released it and it became their first Top 10 hit almost three years after its first release (and almost a decade after it was written).

This song came out in 1973 both on the album at 4:26 long which is what you did (the good one) and a single that was shortened to 3:25 for radio stations that often resisted anything over 3:30 long. I listened to and liked it for years before finding out it was Aerosmith. Today I could just search the Net and find out all about the song and the group and every member of the group. But then, if the DJ didn't tell us very clearly before and after, we wouldn't know. The neat thing about your reaction is that even now, after my listening to it these many years, I'm getting more out of it because of you. Lexi's observation that (almost) the whole thing sounds like an intro put words to my feelings about it building tension all through. And her thinking about the ending - "Time's up!" - was perfect. And as you both said, how unusual it is, is exactly why I love this song and why it never feels dated.

This song was from their first album, and Steven Tyler wasn't completely confident in himself yet,, so he made his voice a little more "masculine" for the these recordings. Joe Perry (lead guitar) said he didn't like that Steven did that, because he had a great voice. Personally, I like the sound.

Not sure if you're aware but Steven Tyler (lead singer) is Liv Tyler's father which is the actress in the movie Armageddon. His song (I Don't Want to Miss a Thing) is featured in that movie as well.

“The whole song sounds like an intro”. Proof positive that modern music is overly formulaic and excessively commercialized, which is why most of it is crap.

Such a classic, love their early albums. Steven's voice sounds so much like Freddie Mercury in this song.

Best song in history!!!! My all time favorite song. You should see the live performance he does with Slash on guitar. He’s 70ish years old and can still hit that high note perfectly.

Steven Tyler wrote this song in high school during one of his classes

WHAT??!! I've been listening to this song since I was in high school (late '80's) and..... I NEVER knew Steven wrote this as a teenager himself!!! That's a hell of a lot of wisdom for a teen!! I've loved him(and Aerosmith) for years..... that just upped the "IT" factor a notch for me!!! Thanks for the info!! Peace... :)

@@NoKingsNoGodsOnlyMan 😂🤣😂 From what I remember, Steven had hard lines on his face even back in the 80's.... pretty sure that's what happens when you're coked-up 24/7 and you're straining to see things clearly every minute of everyday!! 😉😅😁

He wrote the music in high school, the lyrics came in his 20's I think about 28.

This was my favorite song in high school when it came out back in the 1970's. So many memories!
