The Coral are an English band formed in 1996 in England. The band's music is a mixture of 1960s-style psychedelia and folk-rock with old-fashioned country and modern alternative rock influences. The Coral have released 7 albums (The Coral, Magic and Medicine, Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker, The Invisible Invasion, Roots & Echoes, The Singles Collection/Magic & Mysteries, and Butterfly House). Their self-titled debut album was nominated for the 2002 Mercury Music Prize and later voted the fourth best album of the year by NME Magazine. It was announced on 9 January 2008 that Bill Ryder-Jones would be leaving, but the band would continue as a 5-piece.
"Dreaming of You" is a song featured on their debut album, The Coral. Released on 29 October 2002, it was the second single taken from the album and charted at #13.
Pete Doherty once claimed he wrote and then sold the song to James Skelly (lead singer/guitarist or The Coral) in a pub for £30, however this was denied by Skelly and it is widely believed he wrote it.
