Van Halen - Dreams (Synthwave Cover by ARENA ft. Justin “JD” de Blieck) Official Music Video

[@danielmccollam7011]

This has been played almost daily in my car for 3 months. Absolutely fantastic cover and a very fitting tribute to EVH. You've absolutely smashed it!

[@oliviaanauo6290]

I know him in real life and he is an awful person.

[@IRIDEHARLEYS]

@@oliviaanauo6290 You mad bro? Ya, you mad. Get a cape. You can be Super Mad.

[@b-rock5424]

I love music like this! Tonight by sunset neon is really awesome too!

[@arena8549]

Hell yeah. So glad you dig it!

[@1080kk]

Best cover of this song. Too many others try play it too close and straight to the original, but you made it your own. (Just like Van Halen did with their covers!) I think Eddie would have loved this

[@arena8549]

Appreciate that so much! Thank you for recognizing the art behind it. Glad you dig it!

[@rockydavis94]

I can picture the heroes and redeemed villains of Marvel Cinematic Universe charging to this tune

[@rockydavis94]

Could you make an instrumental version or a version without the background talking in the future? Please?

[@Adirtybird]

Someone cutting up onions near me now...... Cant cope with my hero being gone. he was my everything and feel foolish to say so, i fucking loved him and i still gutted hes gone. You gave a country aussie boy purpose and taught my ear to listen. rest in peace my king my heart loves you endlessly.

[@lukebuchwald9252]

I'm American but it sounds like we both had similar upbringing in the wild 80's --- EVH provided the soundtrack to our youth and we are forever indebted to him for that!

[@sevenstar7fly]

One of my favorite Van Halen songs of all time. I love this version. RIP Eddie Van Halen you are missed!!!!

[@jameschamplin1742]

… This is the greatest cover of this song ever… Sorry. This song got me into music. Back in 19-exty-whatever… And this… Jesus… Thank you. Your version is like the echo of hearing it on my AM radio in the middle of the night way back in the day.

[@64CaddyCoupeDeVille]

The cover I didn't know I needed... Brilliant!

[@arena8549]

Appreciate you! 🙏

[@theotherhouse5910]

Same here in Austin 🍻🤜🤛

[@rich5086]

The original is my absolute favourite rock track of all time, I thought I was going to hate this but I love it. It does it proud, I think Eddie would give it his seal of approval and the words of Sammy Hagar fits in perfectly. Arena, thank you.

[@MrRugbyloosehead]

When I heard that Sammy gave his full approval,that was good enough for me,Bravo ARENA! 😎👏

[@solrockit]

The best tribute yet to the greatest creative force the universe will ever produce. LONG LIVE EVH! I am your new fan ARENA!

[@arena8549]

Long live EVH 🤘 Thank you for giving me a chance, Steve!

[@solrockit]

@@arena8549 I cannot tell you how much this tribute means to me. I hope this both turns Arena fans onto the enlightened master EVH, but also turns VH fans onto the GREAT ARENA. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR GIFTS, AND FOR PAYING TRIBUTE TO MY HERO!

[@jackrandomer6105]

I only found this track a few months ago and it’s an absolute belter. Dreams has my favourite song since I was a kid and this is the best cover by far.

[@DylanRitzen5150]

Favorite Van Halen song I’m seeing Sammy this week in Chicago

[@IRIDEHARLEYS]

As if the song and video didn't pull at my heart strings enough, the little dude rocking out at the end of the video reminded me so much of a young Wolfgang Van Halen. I hope ARENA will do more Van Halen covers. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, WE NEED IT!!

[@cuyler41]

long time vh fan, I actually got goosebumps near the end Legit. Welll dome.

[@DreDawg3000]

This is probably the best Van Halen cover ever. Just absolutely fantastic.

[@cameronrashaudunlimited]

I love the vibe of this song and the video. It brings the 80s in the art of imagination and inspiration for the 2020s.

[@cryeyres1610]

So '80s, I love it! The best years ever!

[@michiel6282]

Lovin'it! Nice 80's/90's feel, EVH forever!!

[@edwardwatkins2698]

Genius! This cover is pure Magic - it is instantly one of the defining Summer 2021 tracks for those who appreciate this genre - just what was needed

[@tammyekilcrease5323]

I sooooo love this , what a wonderful tribute to one of the best guitarist ever who's gone way too soon but never forgotten..I love how is music lives on *** Its so on my work playlist.. 😎😁💜💖💜💖

[@AmadeuSRockRadio]

Brilliant! Eddie would have been proud! Keep it ON!

[@scottmcclary594]

CHRIST... just when I thought I couldn't love this song more you go and pull this shit! This is what dreams are made of!

[@CatgirlAnna]

Why did this make me cry happy tears

[@benatkinson5671]

Excellent!

[@arena8549]

Thank you!

[@DOREMI-rb8ww]

I came to check out the guitar solo but this version is just great. Bravo, Well Done Arena. Thumbs Up. Miss U EVH.

[@FloridaManRacer]

For 90's kids, today is another sad day that draws us to this song. Eddie Van Halen passing hit us all like a ton of bricks and today we lost someone who helped introduce Van Halen to us 90's kids. Jason David Frank (Tommy The green/white Power Ranger) has passed away. For those of us who remember the end to the movie, this song was playing as the Rangers celebrate their victory over Ivan Ooze. Rest in Peace, Tommy. 😔😢

[@definfected]

You did this song in the best way I could have ever imagined!! Well done my friend, well done!!

[@SuburbanErrorist]

I keep coming back to this song almost weekly and it's been over a year now, amazing cover!

[@BeeKay5150]

I'm all about this and WILL be sharing it. It's already my favorite Van Halen song and this is a nice touch.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

All instrumental parts are important in this song, you dont have to play like EVH, but you do have to nail the guitar parts. In this cover, they did.

[@ridbaird7913]

This is gold, more synthwave 80's covers are in order

[@DodgermanGames]

If you watch this and don’t tear up at the end, you’re not human

[@virginsim8024]

I did!

[@arena8549]

I’m glad the message was delivered. Nostalgia and heartbreak.

[@Sephcala]

Guilty 🤚

[@lukebuchwald9252]

Very touching tribute to the King !!

[@gintarasmataitis417]

BRAVO !!! Best regards from Lithuania !

[@gokhanersan8561]

What an awesome tribute to Mozart’s best buddy in heaven, the inimitable Eddie Van Halen !!

[@jsherk5]

I haven’t cried over Eddie in several months. But damnit you got me. Thank you so much for this. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Sephcala]

Bravo 👏👏👏👏 This is AMAZING!!!! And yes I did tear 😢 up during the part where Sammy was talking about Eddie. Eddie might not physically be here with us but he'll always be alive in our hearts and in our radios. Thank you ARENA for giving us something we didn't know we needed.

[@Code-E]

This song is literally all things I love rolled into one. I never use this term with any other song, but this is my definition of “perfect”. The weight the original holds on me only pushes this rendition that much higher.

[@jayburrell4840]

This was SOOO amazing.... made me cry. I love it.

[@canaldofeio4959]

Van Halen FOREVER, best song, best cover

[@All_About_Jerseys]

Very bad ass guys! you did a smoking cover. This may be the best song Van Hager recorded.

[@TheRheannon]

Unbelievably beautiful..thank you..just thank you..I have no words 😢

Beautiful and tasteful cover. I really love it, the higher notes very well singed, it’s enjoyable

[@chuckhalen9543]

Beautiful work! Great tribute to EVH! I wish you guys could release this to iTunes! God speed always to Edward Van Halen! Still missed him

[@Mike857571]

This sounds like the best song on EVERY 80’s movie soundtrack. Just truly amazing.!!! Sounds like going to the arcade on the pier back in the day…

[@tatoriverboy]

ok I've been readying to do a cover of Dreams for about 6 months and only just started laying down the keys and then I find this Gem. @Arena what a version man! you just gained a new subscriber and fan. EVH, Van Halen, Alex, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar would be proud man.

[@georgemckendrickbryce9863]

Awesome tribute to the big man! \m/ Captures the essence of the track perfectly!

[@superlocgaming5150]

Omg I love this. Amazing cover to one of the best songs ever. And may EVH live on in our hearts forever.

[@franciscosanchezcamarzana7971]

Everything has been already said. This is a.w.e.s.o.m.e, thank you ARENA for this tribute to my missing hero EVH. Glad to read that great Sammy Hagar approved it in these terms. Congratulations man!!! BTW, I'm a hard rock musician who has recently turned to synthwave. Love these two worlds which are in fact the same, big music:

[@frankygalmor1664]

Yo como fan de Van Halen, no puedo decir más, que esto es una pasada, excelente versión, nuevo sub!!! 🤘

This was fantastic! I love how you put your personal stamp on it along with a fantastic tribute to the legend and a treasure of a song. I heard Sammy say it was one of the most difficult ones vocally so it sounds like you are in good company. Bravo to you for tackling it and providing such a great tribute. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Any plans to release the instrumental? Definitely a vibe

[@kevynhansyn2902]

How convenient that I find this song after subbing to your channel. within the next couple weeks it would be my last day at Boot camp back in 1997. Our RDC played this song over the PDA system and there were so many tears as we graduated from boot camp 27 years ago. I loved this song beforehand, but I never thought it would make more of a impact than graduating bootcamp. This was a 11/10. Thanks for the Onions.

[@johnschicitano9920]

This is just... so fuckin awesome

[@hammysholdingpattern8692]

Not my taste, but I love the fact you did your own thing and not tried to sound like Van Halen. Respect

Por dios que manera de joder un temazo de Van Hallen ... Esto no se hace con la música uffff Si el gran Eddie Van Hallen levantarse la cabeza ... D.E.P Eddie

[@FranciscoSanchez-tq6oz]

Qué tendrá que ver. ¿jodieron VH Pretty woman de Roy Orbison? No verdad? Es otra forma de ver el tema. Los Idolos son Idolos, no dioses intocables my friend.

[@Raz0rsab3r]

The singer reminds me of a mix between Zack Morris and Johnny Cage.

[@RondoOfBloodX]

This NEEDS to play in the final episode of Stranger Things.

[@VicHalen07]

Is this on Apple Music?

[@9unslin9er]

For anyone who loves this type of music, check out Marvel '83 RIP. Jason David Frank, Once a Ranger Always a Ranger.

1993 was too early, but it would have been ironic if he was playing Revolution X. 🙃

May I use this song in a 1 year anniversary video I wanna make? I'll give u credit of course
