Don't Dream It's Over

Stanryck · 2010
Recording

Stanryck recorded a reggae cover of Crowded House’s "Don’t Dream It’s Over" for the 2010 Afrojam Music compilation '80s Go Reggae, which also listed the track at 3:59. The release appears in digital storefront metadata rather than a studio-credited session record. The track reworked a widely known 1986 pop-rock single into a reggae setting, placing Stanryck inside Afrojam Music’s early-2010s project of reimagining 1980s hits. It served as one of the album’s key cover selections alongside "Easy" and "Nothing Compares 2 U." It remained part of Stanryck’s streaming-era catalog and continued to circulate on music services and cover-song listings long after release. The recording also helped define the reggae-cover niche associated with '80s Go Reggae.
