Prehistory (2003-2005)

Hedin left the band in 2004 and was replaced by Eirikur Gilston Corfitz Andersen. That year they released an album called Total Love Songs in Faroese and English. The band remained active until Edmund í Gardi left in late 2004. The remaining band members decided to continue under the new name The Dreams . Heini Mortensen and Hans Edward Andreasen moved to Denmark in 2005 , in 2006 Hans Eduard and Eirikur followed to Copenhagen in order to find better conditions for their musical development.

Tazy (2006-2007)

By submitting one of their songs, the band was selected from thousands of applicants to travel to MTV Europe in London . The Dreams took third place in the competition there . Between June and July 2006, the band recorded the punk rock - cover album Tazy on a compilation of the most popular songs of the Faroe Islands. In November, The Dreams took part in the Global Battle of the Bands in Copenhagen and also achieved third place here. They got to know their future producer Lars Pedersen under the judges.

In 2007, Eirikur's younger brother, Corfitz, became a new member of the band. He previously had a Faroese pop-rock band called Paradox , with whom he had also released an album in English called Falling In Love .

In the same month The Dreams started in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix competition to represent their country in the Eurovision and reached fourth place with La 'mig være .
