"John C. Reilly's Timeless Romance on Display in Latest 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' Music Video"
Actor and musician John C. Reilly is showcasing his romantic side once again with his latest cover of the 1930 standard "Dream a Little Dream of Me". The special seven-inch record, pressed at Third Man Pressing on silver opaque vinyl for Record Store Day Black Friday, features Reilly's rendition of the song alongside its B-side "Paper Moon".
The accompanying music video, shot by Gilbert Trejo, is a charming ode to silent films from the early 20th century. In the clip, Reilly's alter ego, Mister Romantic, attempts to woo a woman living in a grand Victorian house. He leaves a bouquet of flowers at her doorstep and lingers on the sidewalk, dancing and gazing up at the window until he finally waves goodbye and wanders away.
Reilly's passion for spreading love and empathy has driven his creative endeavors as Mister Romantic. In a statement announcing his debut album "What's Not to Love?", he stated that performing and singing were ways to share his affection with others. This sentiment is evident in his latest music video, which embodies the nostalgic charm of bygone eras.
Following the release of this new single, Reilly will embark on a series of live performances, including a three-night residency at New York's Cafe Carlyle and a four-night stand at Chicago's The Downstairs Theatre.

it's so dreamy 
like he's straight outta an old film or something! I mean, who wouldn't wanna be Mr Romantic, leaving flowers at some girl's doorstep and being all romantic on the sidewalk? 
It feels so nostalgic, like stepping into a bygone era. I'm def gonna check out his live performances in NYC & Chicago, hope they're just as magical! 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned romance song? And that music video is just the icing on the cake - it's like stepping into a vintage film noir from another era 
. I'm actually kinda jealous he gets to play this "Mister Romantic" character... sounds like a dream come true 
. Can't wait to see him live and hear more of his songs!
I'm not really into vinyls, but the fact that they're pressing special records for Record Store Day Black Friday sounds like such a cool thing 
I mean, who wouldn't want to be serenaded by this dreamy dude in a fancy Victorian house? 
and can we talk about how adorbs the flowers are?! 
Reilly's passion for spreading love is so infectious! I need his debut album "What's Not to Love?" ASAP 
I'm low-key considering buying tickets to his live shows in NYC and Chicago... anyone else going? 
. the fact that he's putting on live shows soon too is great news! 
it's like he's straight out of old hollywood, you know? the way he dances and gazes up at that window is giving me all the feels 
anyway, i'm hyped for his live performances and can't wait to see him bring this nostalgic charm to life on stage 
but what really gets me is that its just so... romantic 
he seems like a total gentleman in it, always leaving flowers and being all charming 
. I'm defo gonna check out these live shows now!
. I love how he's spreading love and positivity through his music – it's really infectious. His passion project as Mister Romantic is just so sweet. And can we talk about the aesthetic of that grand Victorian house? 
.
he thinks he's so charming with his fancy record collection & vintage costumes but honestly it's just a guy singing a 90 year old song for the sake of being 'mister romantic'... and now he's gonna make a bunch of money off his fans while they're waiting for their chance to meet him at some overpriced cafe in nyc 
. His energy is infectious! Let's hope his live performances are just as magical 
his latest music video is kinda cool but did u know that record store day black friday sales are gonna take a hit from climate change-related shortages? silver opaque vinyl and all that jazz still can't save the planet 
like he's been pretending to be this 'mister romantic' persona since forever? doesn't feel very authentic. what's up with him leaving flowers at some random girl's doorstep and expecting her to fall for his charms? that just feels like a cliché from a bad rom-com 
and i gotta say, his passion for spreading love & empathy is really admirable 
can't wait to see him live in concert
