Good Old Random 80's Song... Enjoy!

I don't know why this song popped up in my head today. But I woke up hearing it, and had to search for it on youtube. I don't even have a copy of this song, but always heard it throughout my life on the radio. I can't stop listening to this song... What a classic... I can't embed it so you'll have to click the actual link to watch it.

Just some random 80's for you guys...

:wave

 

Wow I just searched for the lyrics and they're quite relevant today:

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now i'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the t.v. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now i'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And i'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

 

One of my all time fav's --- thanks for posting!

 

Did you watch the TV mini series "The Stand"? with Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald from a Stephen King Novel. That song was part of the show, creepy but excellent show and book, beautiful song but I had difficulty listening and appreciating that song for a long time afterwards without flashback remembering what I had watched on TV.

Ooh, an 80's thread with actual good music in it, contrary to some folks beliefs, there was good stuff then too! I was afraid the leisure suit folk were posting this at first.:eek :-D

WTG all! I'm too tired to find something to post that equals all that quality so I'll just veg out for a while going through the thread. I'm glad I came in here.

more good choices Pappa - Men at Work - crack me up very funny guys. Couldn't place the squeeze song, but once I listened to it, I realised that is was a song I had heard many times yonks ago

@auggie - "the leisure suit folk" expression - sounds foreign :-Droflmao:-D perhaps not something you'd find amongst the sophisticated types you meet here. :-D
