Zooey has such a nice jazz-cafe style singing voice. She has that kind of voice you would hear singing songs in a vintage style coffee shop or thrift shop and I love it. I also loved her covers of Christmas songs when she was in "Elf"
No fanfare, no audio distortion, just pure voice and guitar accompaniment. When she's done, she smiles quickly and just walks off. What a beautiful performance!
So that's how she learned to be a musician, actress and successful at all of them. Obviously calling her dumb as a rock, although she is much smarter and more successful and refined than you, would be your way of of showing how "smart" YOU are?? Like a rock.
+Ashley Gonzalez i agree with every point you made about her singing and this song. Bravo Ashley. Its a pleausure to read the opinion of someone who really Understands the music as well as enjoys it!
I've always loved Zooey, and her voice is so angelic, a treasure to hear. When my beloved cat Darwin passed away last year, I sang this song to him. Always in my heart, he lives on in my most precious dreams, and in my most sacred memories.
Are you kidding she's marvelous I love her voice she has everything this song is perfect for a theater that's what cass wanted to be a Broadway performer zoey is amazing
Zoey is the only actress not actress/ singer like Slena gomez, but she is pure actress who can really sings, THIS TYPE OF SONGS REALLY FITS IN HER VOICE! ♥
What are you guys talking about? Her "consonants" are not "too harsh" as one guy said, this really isn't flat at all, and she has a really lovely tone to her voice. She's a good singer. Pipe down.
I love this and those saying it's sharp or flat clearly don't listen to a lot of old timers ... I grew up on the originals of these songs listening to the jazz of the early 1900 to the 50's this is great
Zooey comes from a family of entertainers. She knows how the business works. The fact that every time I see a She & Him video I see comments like "she is perfect" takes away from the music. Yes, she's a good entertainer in the fact that her manager has manufactured her to be a mainstream-indie 'it' girl. But there are women like this that you pass everyday who are kind, classy & talented that you ignore because you're stuck in an imaginary world where a manufactured image is your "dream girl".
Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you" Birds singin' in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars shining up above you Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you" Birds singin' in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Yes, dream a little dream of me
Lyrics Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me
I love her voice and many things to love about this in general. I just found it a little flat and sharp in certain parts. Kind of like the lower register but again sounded off sometimes, too, pitchy. I love the fact she covered it at all because youngsters out there need to be exposed to the classics. And don't get me wrong she's phenomenal singer I think. This is essentially a cappella which is even more amazing. I will definitely check out more videos of her singing, though. And her band.
Krazy Hatter, I'd take one Zooey over a hundred Katy's. she's smart sexy funny and can sing. if she would have been my first wife I'd never gotten divorced.
I'm old enough to have seen Mama Cass Elliot do this song on stage back in the '60s. As for Zooey that is another matter altogether. I was going through YT Music looking for someone who had done, "Baby It's Cold Outside," and I clicked on her. I still don't know anything about her acting career. But Zooey sang the heck out of that song with Leon in a duet. As musicians say she owned that song and even sang in a slightly tipsy voice as the character in the song would have. Brilliant. I'm in love. Do you think Zooey goes for 70 year olds?
holy shit this is a thread of nothing but haters. to all you who think she sucks at singing/acting and her style blows then take a long look in the mirror and remind yourself you will never be half as talented as she is .music is about pure passion and you all don't have any at all. same thing with conor oberst, he does not have a tremendous voice, but his lyrics and passion for them can not be surpassed by anyone walking this earth
You know what. I applaud you. All these people are so happy to criticize the hell out of someone who is doing what they love for a living. She is also more talented than anyone who commented on this video is, even if she does strive for a certain image. Isn't that what celebrity is about though? Being different and interesting?
Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams, till sunbeams find you Gotta keep dreaming leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be You gotta make me a promise, promise to me You'll dream, dream a little of me
Heiko Depunkt Danke Heiko. I did not know of "She and Him". By the way, my Great Grandfather was from Oldenburg. Came to the USA as a child with his widowed mother.
Only through the airport in Frankfurt. Where I grew up near Cincinnati there were a lot of German Catholic families that had their roots in the Oldenburg area. My mother's mother, Grandma Linneman was fluent in German. Would like to visit Oldenburg and find out why so many left there between 1850 and 1870.
Heck, I don't know. I've been crazy about Zooey since her role in Hitchhiker's Guide. I was actually browsing for different renditions of "Dream a little Dream" when I ran across this. How delightful!
What the bell guys are u saying?she have a passionate and warm voice,she hit the right notes and give a little vibrato when she wants. She is not the typical blondie-pop singer and so what? Everyone is free to sing however he/she wants. If you don't like it just don't see the video,no-one cares about what you like-or-not. Comments and critics must have sense...
Zooey has such a nice jazz-cafe style singing voice. She has that kind of voice you would hear singing songs in a vintage style coffee shop or thrift shop and I love it. I also loved her covers of Christmas songs when she was in "Elf"
Certainly better then the government funded propaganda we hear in POP music today...i almost think your trying to insult her with your comment..
YESYESYES omg
Zooey's rendition of this classic is at least just as enjoyable as Cass Elliot's hit recording.
No fanfare, no audio distortion, just pure voice and guitar accompaniment. When she's done, she smiles quickly and just walks off. What a beautiful performance!
I wish she would do a whole CD of these kind of old classic songs. She has the perfect voice for it.
She has, under 'She & Him'. It's literally named 'Classics'
@@jonathantan2469 Thanks so much for letting me know. I just looked it up on Spotify and love it!
Her voice is so beautiful
And so is she
Wow? I hope that is a joke.
how so
So that's how she learned to be a musician, actress and successful at all of them. Obviously calling her dumb as a rock, although she is much smarter and more successful and refined than you, would be your way of of showing how "smart" YOU are?? Like a rock.
Rick Charles
She seems to be quite accomplished from what I’ve seen and heard. No doubt far more successful than myself. And you?
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
Wow she's really good!! Her tone is perfect, and her half steps and whole steps and difference in key change is on point!!
Ashley Gonzalez u sure know wt ur talking about!
If you dont like it. ..fine by me. Im not judging you. I just happened to think she did a great job. Her sound is different and i liked it.
+Ashley Gonzalez i agree with every point you made about her singing and this song. Bravo Ashley. Its a pleausure to read the opinion of someone who really Understands the music as well as enjoys it!
Ashley that and that cool family voice, its like home for me. America's number one sweet heart.
I've always loved Zooey, and her voice is so angelic, a treasure to hear. When my beloved cat Darwin passed away last year, I sang this song to him. Always in my heart, he lives on in my most precious dreams, and in my most sacred memories.
Are you kidding she's marvelous I love her voice she has everything this song is perfect for a theater that's what cass wanted to be a Broadway performer zoey is amazing
She sounds great I love the depth she brings
Zoey is the only actress not actress/ singer like Slena gomez, but she is pure actress who can really sings, THIS TYPE OF SONGS REALLY FITS IN HER VOICE! ♥
Don't ever compare the two again you fucking mutt
***** and today I win thank you for being angry you've made my life just that much better
Bryson Flett your life is boring then lol.... FOD
***** no just easy apparently
Bryson Flett no I'm mad as hell! waaargh! urgh! aaaaaargh! roaaar!!!!!!! /..
i believe shes the most beautiful woman in earth by far, and im not saying only bout the beauty of her!!! Wish i could meet her!
Felicity Jones though
I love this! Her and her sister have these smoky, old-school voices that are just beautiful.
Zoey is so talented! I wish I could sing Jazz style like her!
Fabulous voice and styling. Such a unique sound...haunting, like Billie Holiday or Judy Garland. What a gift!
Every time I feel down I come to listen to Zooey singing this. She is absolutely beautiful and I think sings it with candid grace and passion.
What are you guys talking about? Her "consonants" are not "too harsh" as one guy said, this really isn't flat at all, and she has a really lovely tone to her voice.
She's a good singer. Pipe down.
I love this and those saying it's sharp or flat clearly don't listen to a lot of old timers ... I grew up on the originals of these songs listening to the jazz of the early 1900 to the 50's this is great
It's always a pleasure to come back here to this clip and see one who is absolutely real. I smile all the way through this, each time I see it.
Who else is still watching New Girl?
Yep, & love Nick Miller
Me! On season 3!
I always rewatch every new girl episode because it never gets old! It's so funny and it's my favourite show!❤️❤️❤️😍❤️😘
Yup
i just binge watched it on netflix its great and then I heard season 7 is gonna be the last season, gonna miss this show when it's over
Better than the most pop singers today
*all
you're beautiful
not as good as Christina Aguilera or Lady Gaga, but better than Katy Perry or Rihanna
dan spencer She is.. but perhaps she should try waterproof mascara.
elsa55 LOL

I love her cover. But Mama Cass will always be the best for me.
Cass is a high bar.
The Doris Day one's great too.
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Yes, dream a little dream of me
I can't get over how much I love this girl she's absolutely gorgeous and that voice! Wow! so unique
Zooey Deschanel, has the most beautiful voice ever!
Not to downplay her career, but this is probably the best thing she's ever done.
have you seen her cover of "i put a spell on you" on conan? unbelievable.
She is soooo talented!!! I love her. And her voice makes me happy.

that actually surprised me! very cool voice
Who knew that the funniest woman on television had great pipes! Bones and Boothe will be so proud. Amazing grace
Zooey is the best female singer I've ever heard
really? you think she's a better singer than Beyonce? Billy Holliday? Aretha Franklin? Adelle?
Peter Hoffman yes
Borobert Daniel I guess there's no accounting for taste.
Yeah I don't really care for any of those singers tbh
Peter Hoffman of course
Love her voice I love that old fashioned sound 😭👏👏👏
I have always loved her voice...so clear and beautiful!
Perfect voice for this song
Her Voice is so raw
did you mean, boring,mundaine,almost off-key?
Love a bit of Zooey, awesome voice.
i love her so much it hurts
Her voice is great. The song had a rough start but she picked it up and did it justice.
I wish I could just spend a day getting to know her. She seems so amazing. Her voice is amazing and her eyes are so hypnotizing.
Zoe is the perfect woman!
AGREE!!! ❤❤❤
You think she's perfect but can't spell her name correctly? :P
Whoa, calm down Abbie.
Abby, he said -she- was perfect, not him :)
touché
She has a great voice, not the auto tuned crap.
She's such a role model! She has so much spirit and positiveness in her!
is there anything she can't do! ?
Is that right? Sooo why are you even looking her up on you tube buddy? lmao
Ooh, that's cold...
kittyminovitch I beg to differ
Yes, being ugly
I love her voice and many things to love about this in general. I just found it a little flat and sharp in certain parts. Kind of like the lower register but again sounded off sometimes, too, pitchy. I love the fact she covered it at all because youngsters out there need to be exposed to the classics. And don't get me wrong she's phenomenal singer I think. This is essentially a cappella which is even more amazing. I will definitely check out more videos of her singing, though. And her band.
She has a guitarist providing a harmonic and rhythmic accompaniment. How is that essentially a capella? She has a full accompaniment!
Very talented lass Zooey, love her music, always a bit different. Need to buy some of her music.
...Plus *would*
Plot twist Zooey Deschanel IS Katy Perry
LOl
+Anonymous Truth Seeker username checks out
Except Zooey can sing
She’s better than katy lol
Krazy Hatter, I'd take one Zooey over a hundred Katy's. she's smart sexy funny and can sing. if she would have been my first wife I'd never gotten divorced.
irl hannah montana
Her voice reminds me of the lead singer in the carpenters
Grace Humbles Her name was Karen Carpenter!
She has a really nice voice as well as her acting! Love you Zooey! Sweetest girl ever!
I still prefer the classic version but it's nice that she's trying it too :)
I thought it was Katy perry from the thumbnail but still Zoey Deschannel is really good :))
I'm old enough to have seen Mama Cass Elliot do this song on stage back in the '60s. As for Zooey that is another matter altogether.

She's had that haircut for a long time

Well I guess your not as talented as us haters
you're
I just love this kind of songs where such a voice and the music get so deep into your skin.
is it weird that I actually love this so much?
Stars shining bright above you

You'll dream, dream a little of me
This is my all time favorite song, and I love Zooey! This is great!
I'm amused at how everyone is suddenly a vocal teacher on here.
Do you think you can do better?
Regina George thinks zoey deshanel sounds shit but has a whole fucking Jessica Simpson playlist 😂
@@gavinmulvihill2175
Fake Voice Teachers:
What's wrong with Jessica Simpson?
i love her omg
Both the Deschanel sisters, Emily and Zooey, have beautiful voices! Zooey sung this very beautifully, what a gorgeous girl with amazing talent!
2019 guys??
2021 😓
I wish that both Zooey and Emmy Rossum would do more singing and less acting.
Zooey actually has a band, it's called "She and Him". You should check them out, they're pretty good ;)
Heiko Depunkt Danke Heiko. I did not know of "She and Him". By the way, my Great Grandfather was from Oldenburg. Came to the USA as a child with his widowed mother.
I wondered why you said "Danke", so can you speak German or have you been here?
Only through the airport in Frankfurt. Where I grew up near Cincinnati there were a lot of German Catholic families that had their roots in the Oldenburg area. My mother's mother, Grandma Linneman was fluent in German. Would like to visit Oldenburg and find out why so many left there between 1850 and 1870.

I've been crazy about Zooey since her role in Hitchhiker's Guide.
I was actually browsing for different renditions of "Dream a little Dream" when I ran across this. How delightful!
Oh Zooey, it doesn't get any better than you and these songs. Wow.
I like her version best
She actually got the voice, but if only she soften her voice a little more...
Amazing cover. Sing it Zooey
she looks exactly like Katy Perry or Katy looks exactly like her
No she's way prettier
+Brandon Martinez Yes
+Brandon Martinez Yes she is!!! My sweet sweet pumpkin pie.. 😜
yep true! katty perry is below average looking :-/
+bomapdich
I beleive that Zooey has a "je ne sais quoi..." that perry can only dream to achieve one day...
not so sure about the eyeliner...
i think its lovely
Happy mother's day zooey... you are most appreciated...
the make up.... why....??
she's so pretty I don't know why they slapped the makeup on her .
Brutal.... I feel like this ruined my life
Yup she ruined my life
love Zooey! first heard her sing in Elf😁
come on zooey, too much eye-liner...
It's the look for the act.
She can do anything she wants bro
katy perry lost twin and she sings...conspiracy is afoot
SUCH A GREAT VOICE,NICELY DONE. THANKS FOR POSTING
Not the best version I've ever heard but far from the being the worst.
Not wishing to damn with faint praise but it's quite sweet
Great voice but she's pushing too hard that it's coming off quite harsh instead of sentimental and really takes away the meaning of the song.
plus her face looks REALLY tense. but her voice sounds good.
What a great voice just love her!!!
Because of her i don't like this song anymore
Shut the hell up, people like you really piss me off why do you have to be so mean?
OMG! Thats horrible! please call again Mama Cass, Doris Day or Ella FitzGerald...lol
sry to burst ur bubble but 2/3 are dead and the other is like 90 and Zooey already does an amazing job so there's no need
This is great. I could listen to her amazing voice all day :)
Noooo, I'm sorry but not...Don't ever cover this song again.
Good voice...just stay away from this classic cuz just no...plz
I love her voice. I wish she had more recorded music like this out.
Qué bonita voz tiene esta chica y magnífica interpretación de esta canción que es un clásico
I think her voice is adorable. I think everything about her is adorable!!
Zooey is a singer too... with a classic voice!
WOW...haven't heard this kind of singing in a very long time
me encanta Zoey, su personalidad, es genial!!
Zooey=cute, "adorkable", sweet, fashion guru, AND she can sing! Who the hell wouldn't want to be her??
Zooey you're everytime amazing!
Beautiful. Glad she's on the TV show New Girl. Haven't laughed and felt happy in a while.
Oh Zooey, so beautiful.
What the bell guys are u saying?she have a passionate and warm voice,she hit the right notes and give a little vibrato when she wants.
She is not the typical blondie-pop singer and so what?
Everyone is free to sing however he/she wants.
If you don't like it just don't see the video,no-one cares about what you like-or-not.
Comments and critics must have sense...
she sound & looks amazing (as ever) this song is very suited to her voice or visa versa ;-)
She has an oldie voice...sweet and deep. Love her!
Love her and her voice!!
I love acoustic singing. For me its the proof of real talent. Cool Zooey :)
Her voice is amazing!!
More like a voice born to educate people on what true talent sounds like!
How can this version attract 6 mill. views and Doris Day's version only 2 mill.?? I am missing the sweetness and elegance here.
