Just A Dream - Nelly

Thank you for taking me through two late nights, on replay.

Jake Bruene and Kurt Schneider. My first exposure to this song. Intrigued by the black guitar.


Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie, produced by Kurt Schneider. Not much to say about this one. Everyone already knows it and loves it.


Nelly. The original. Also good. Don't hate.
