"Daydream" is a song recorded in 1969 by the Belgian band Wallace Collection. It was composed by band members Sylvain Vanholme and Raymond Vincent, with David MacKay[1] who also produced the single.[2] The song is in the symphonic pop/rock genre, and uses strings and flutes. Its melody is borrowed from the finale of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. [3] [4] The song was a hit in mainland Europe, though its popularity did not extend to English-speaking countries, despite its use of English lyrics. The song was covered several times, most notably by the Günter Kallmann Choir in 1970.
