The better of the two mid-tempo songs on Van Halen's much-celebrated debut (the other is the vastly overrated "Running with the Devil" - perhaps the most boring song on their repertoire), this little gem has that funk/soul thing, which feels surprisingly honest here. It also has an eeire melancholy to it. Eddie Van Halen comes up with a basic but very effective riff and one of his most emotional solos - the man is known for incredible shredding ability, so his solos tend to be one-dimensional after a while.
I'm not a huge Van Halen fan, but if I had to make a Top 5 VH songs, "Little Dreamer" might just sneak into the list.
