Reply Mike Worden 57 from Denise f i e l d s hi Mike how are you I just received your comment and you came in under Daryl Hall the title of the song dreamtime very nice song from the 80s. I'm very glad that you enjoyed the song especially the drunks but for some reason we felt that this song was underrated back in the day. And why do you feel that way please let me know. To be perfectly honest what I heard was a lot of fantastic music a lot of energy vibes and I don't know to be very honest with you what happened in the eighties with the song because I never heard it in the eighties where I lived. You know the public gets your biggest opportunity to hear what's out there as far as music that is being played and that's why the DJs and I can't I do have to apologize but I never heard it at that particular time but didn't seem to it now I don't see what was wrong with it and especially because I enjoy the damn thing oh my God I could put a lot of moves into that song, because I am very aware of the group Hall & Oates that this is ridiculous song I don't remember, so the thing that you enjoyed most of the sun was the drums huh yeah they were outside to me I enjoyed all of the music and if I enjoy the music then I will enjoy the Song . Well other than Daryl Hall who would you consider is being your favorite artist and the title of the ßong. And the reason that I was asking because you never know it might be a song that we would like to play for you. Do you happen to play drums yourself, and the reason that I asked is because you were very in tune to the drums which was a good thing it's all music LOL smile 😁🎶😎😀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀👍. Well I would like to thank you so very much for being a listener to the station and I would like you to know that we are now offering my check if you another where and we have a group of songs that fall under the category of soft rock and please don't let that be mistaken is hard Rock because it's completely different. It just so happens to be a group of songs by so many different artists that is Michael Bolton Lionel Richie your supply and so so many more that's unbelievable and you would have to hear for yourself but I just wanted to email in the event that you want to wear and you might want to check it out for yourself okay so again I do thank you and please take care until I can goodbye for now. 👍🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀😀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😁
@@denisefields7233 God bless you! Not a drummer, but I was a DJ for years. I just thought the entire song and video was fantastic, and for me, it still holds up to this day!
What a great song! I can’t believe it’s not played on 80s stations. Daryl Hall was an early influence on my own music and performance. He was the reason I could visualize being a keyboardist and lead singer simultaneously, which I’ve done in a few bands over the years. This song is simply a wonderful composition!
Couldn’t agree 👍 more about this incredible song 🎶! He’s one of the best recording artist 👩🎨 of all time! And this song 🎶 was officially a wonderful composition and a great 👍 masterpiece for his album 💿, as well! Without a doubt 👍! Yeah 👍! Well Done 👍, Mr. Daryl Hall! Great 👍 job 👏!
He just slipped this Solo song while still with Oates like many Bands and their members do machines.Have this and extended mix of this Class of 85-89 that's in me
I absolutely love Daryl Hall! He is truly one of the greatest recording artists of all time! He has such an unbelievably profound singing voice and he has always been extremely talented! Daryl Hall Forever!!! ~Dutch
Agreed. anyone who sings,and is trained can recognize his meticulous singing,his control,his range,ability to fire off grace notes like an AK47,without ever going off key. All this ,and making it sound and feel effortless.He also has the gift to sing in the soparano range and still project a masculine tone, which is astonishing. I have no idea how he does that. I feel he's the best pop/soul/rock singer in American music history. He's the Andrea Bocelli of Pop.
Ditto! OMG I remember when I first heard this way back when it came out. Not only was the song itself awesome, but it was one of the first genuine "3-D Stereo" songs I had ever heard.
I listen to it from time to time to for the same reseon! Personally I think it's one of their better tunes but you never hear it! You hear of Hall and Oates. This tune? Never. Why? I got no idea.
This anthem was written by the great John beeby who passed away last night. Thanks for being a friend John. I'm proud to have known you. Love you mate. Rip
This is my favourite song of all time. Sing the darn thing everyday. God bless you John and god bless the great Steve Harley. Hopefully they're both up there making more great music.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs! I always liked the echo of him saying "you wanna run a way-way-way-way-way!", the powerful key change, the synth pad solo at the end, and at 3:34 when he says "hard to carry on, GIRL!"
@@yvy6269 I have incorporated key changes in a number of my original songs because they fascinate me, because of how powerful it makes the ending to the song.
I couldn’t agree 👍 more than what you just said about this. Daryl Hall did an amazing 🤩 job on this wonderful project. So, keep on dreaming 💭, Daryl. And have a lot of fun 🤩 with it. Yeah 👍!
I'm not sure why Daryl Hall never became a massive star in his own right. Incredibly talented. A bizarre career path to an outsider. But glad he is still making music. This song is a GEM. Gold Jerry, GOLD!!! Daryl, thank you.
I think the OP is taking about him as a solo act. His albums never came anywhere near the stratosphere of H&O (other than this song; pure pop perfection, IMO).I think it’s an indication of how integral Oates was to the equation, even if they didn’t write together in the same room most of the time. They played well off of each other and it shows in the material they put out compared to Daryl’s solo career. I mean, he made some good records, just didn’t have that H&O polish and hooks that would grab you at first listen. Maybe that was the whole point all along. For him to get off on this other artistic muse that was also inside of him. One that didn’t really for the H&O “formula.” His “Laughing Down Crying” from 2011 is amazing. Top to bottom just not a weak song to my ears. I think it’s my favorite of his solo work followed close by “Can’t Stop Dreaming.”
There will never be another era like that. The music just drives into your soul. Nothing at all ever again like those type of lyrics. Oh, when you're looking up it's no surprise Standing there is a man with movie star eyes You think he's gonna take care of you The man with the plan that'll see you through And I say there ain't no way 'Cause I know he's a lie .... Such IMMENSE talent!
He sings with such conviction in every song he sings, and his performance in the video is right in sync with that conviction. This song's theme is similar to "Everything Your Heart Desires," which came out around the same time. It makes me wonder what Daryl was going through at that time in his life, if anything, or if the similar themes are just a coincidence. Either way, great tune!
Damn I can’t believe this song.Was listening to Out of Touch and this was on my playlist.Never heard it before.Its the bomb.Thanks Brother I got it now .Playing it over and over.
The first song I played on the Walkman I got for my 13th birthday in '86. I never knew Daryl Hall sang this song till a few years ago when I found it on YT.
I kept searching for this song for a long time I remember hearing it I was 6 years old but took me this long to find it and who sang it now I found it on You Tube.
+Marc... I could see someone remembering their first Walkman. I can remember the very first arcade game I ever played. It was Space Invaders at a corner store. This was not something that happened every day.
"When you're looking up it's no surprise Standing there is a man with Movie Star Eyes Think he's gonna take care of you The man with the plan that'll see you through I say there ain't no way 'Cause I know he's a lie" These are some of the most genius lyrics of the late 80's! Darryl Hall could not be more under appreciated! Not to take away from John Oates but after such success as a duo of songwriters of generation songs, I still am amazed that Darryl Hall didn't get the recognition he should have for genius works such as this!
This was actually one of Daryl's very best and most adventurous songs, but we're talking a genius here. He and John Oates made some of the greatest music ever. They knew how to blend all kinds of music soul, rock, pop, all into a unique thing. This song starts off rollicking harder edged and has a psychedelic climax. Nice work.
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
You only see it for a split second, but the stone lion with Daryl Hall's eyes is an indelible memory of this video. Amazing what MTV videos could impress upon you back then.
👍"Dreamtime" and Foreigner's Lou Gramm singing "Midnight Blue" are two of my all-time fave solo efforts by artists better known for being in a duo / group. Both are stellar pop songs.
Still remember where I was when I first heard this song....I was waking up on a Saturday morning in late August when this came on over my Casio radio alarm clock.....I'd be heading to 4th grade soon...I had an epiphany that morning. That I knew this magical time would never come again and I should revel in the time.
This has Dave Stewart's fingerprints all over this record. For years I thought Jeff Lynne was the mad genius; but this is Dave for certain. To be back in '86 again and surrounded by such great music
You can draw a line connecting dots in this song to those in another major US chart-climbing production by Stewart from the previous year: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Don't Come Around Here No More".
The 80s music was so much more elaborate , with the way they incorporated various instrumental sounds.... actual music with a tune instead of whatever it is we hav now
Gosh, I haven't heard this since the 80's (I had this as a vinyl single). It's a great pop/rock hit - what a great find! Thank you Daryl - you always made fabulous music. Love the version of Iris you did with John Rzeznik on "Daryl's House".
Oh many many thanks for posting this video. I have searched a long time for this rock classic from the wonderful Daryl Hall. Such a wonderfully enchanting and groovy video combined with Daryl's wonderful charm and music.
same, and also I believe the part is actually "Canon in D", but only in up-tempo form, which I didn't quite notice until years later, which makes it even all the more brilliant.
Yes I've always thought the same thing. The labyrinthine garden, statues, and the fancy-dressed girl walking mysteriously in slow-mo throught mist in a mansion
This is one of those songs that I can vividly remember hearing for the very first time. It was amazing then, it's still amazing now. Dave Stewart's production is flawless, he manages to incorporate the Hall & Oates trademark of making background vocals into hooks, and his avoidance of '80s synths on the track (but using strings and harpsichord!) makes it timeless. And seriously, is there anybody in the world better than Daryl Hall at singing the word "girl"?
Daryl is a musical genius he never got the recognition he so deserved back in those days with all of his amazing music But who’s having the last laugh now …….. He has created an empire of all of his musical talent and with Daryl’s house he is an musical legend and deserves the recognition from the younger fans and all of the new musical talent as well as from all of us who have been following him for years back to the very beginning we respect admire appreciate you Daryl your music has been the window into our Heart and Soul ♥️♥️♥️ YES WE LOVE YOU DARYL🫠🥰
aujourd8 I agree, it is a great name and a great album too. 'Dreamtime' is an outstanding pop song that should have been number one all over the place but for some reason failed to take off.
Roger Nilsson I meant to say it did not take off in the UK, where it only reached number 28. The charts in Britain were competitive in the eighties-artists had to sell a lot of records to have a top ten hit. The song did not receive the recognition it deserved in Britain.
+eightiessongs Why just top 10?????, They had to sell a'lot to have top 20 hits as well -which is just as impressive......... It had to sell a'lot to get in top 30-top 30 is nothing to sneer at is it, I could understand your comment if it went in the top 50 /60 etc then I would of said it didn't take off
The British seem to think anything below a Top 10 is a flop. It's always been that way. Not sure why. Only can imagine that because it's a smaller country, it doesn't take a lot of sales to make it into the top 40 as opposed to the US, where even a top 100 (or at least top 40) is considered an achievement.
The Vinyl Revival was he underrated? I mean he had at least 4 number 1 hits with Oates and wrote another #1 (Every Time You Go Away). He also sang on the Eric Clapton hit No Alibis
I am so glad this is on here I have loved this song and video since it first came out. Awesome sound that had some real get up and go and really got you listening to the lyrics
Pearmain2009 @Pearmain2009 definitelya cut above today's songs. All of Hall's and Hall & Oates songs have amazing lyrics that tell stories. Most of the songs today are gibberish lyrically. And certainly most "artist" today don't play instruments.
Daryl Hall is a brother with a very distinct voice, with his partner John Oates these guys are in a class by themselves. You know their music go listen to it. They're two of the best!
Wow. This has David Stewart's (from Eurythmics) fingerprints all over it. The string sequence toward the end is beautiful, if not a bit haunting, especially with the psychedelic animation. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is one of the greatest pop songs of the 80s.
@@TONY_FEZ LOL. Yes! You read my mind. Listening to this again today, and it was difficult to not hear ELO performing this as well. Funny that I never had that thought before today - and then I saw your comment. 👍
This song would stand up to any thing being played today. The lyrics, the graphics, and the video, plus Daryl's high energy. I am going to purchase his new CD beforeafter or after before. For sale on Amazon.
Wow, I used to be so obsessed with this song and video! I had it on VHS and the quality was so poor and it was so grainy, but I'd watch it over and over. It's amazing to see it here, now in such great quality! Blown away!!
Hall is 38 here i was living in Dreamtime as a kid and the 80s,now it's turning into a nightmare more and more to our ends of our lives.To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
I first heard this on DTV Monster hits, it was Disney Halloween special that ran in 87. Years later and i still don't understand why it wasn't a big hit.
Never could understand why he could never achieve the top quality of music on his own like he did when he played John Oates. Everybody knew that Daryl wrote the lyrics and most of the music. But I still love my Hall & Oates albums. Especially their greatest hits CD. Your voice is one of the best that I've heard in my lifetime. Up there with Elvis, Sinatra and Tom Jones just to name a few.
Happy 77th Birthday Daryl Hall!(Born October 11, 1946)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍👏🙌
Daryl Hall was celebrating his 78 Birthday
ホール&オーツの凄いところは、もちろん唯一無二のスーパーデュオだけど、それぞれがソロで歌っても凄いところ。
Love Daryl's voice. A genuine Legend
You never hear this song nowadays, loved it in my youth!
One of the most under rated songs of the 80's. The drums kick ass!
Under rated how, because this song peaked at #5 on the Billboard hot 100 in the summer of 1986.

Just listened to an interview with Daryl Hall on CBC Radio (March 31, 2022) and they played this song. Haven't heard it in decades but it's so great.

For those of us who remembered the 1980's, this song was a different sound for Daryl Hall. It was produced by Dave Stewart (Eurytmics).
It was definitely different but as a Daryl fan I enjoyed it and it STUCK in my head a LOT ☺️
I still love this. I recommend "Something In 4/4 Time" from his "Sacred Songs" LP from 1977. :)

I miss '86 too - although I never thought I would say it back then ... I missed '86 as far back as '88 thinking about it.
We all do. 1986 was a great year for me too.
My freshman year in HS. Good times. Miss them terribly.
Me too what a great time
I was 19 at the time, didn't have any worries back then.
Loved this song for the key change, the strings, and just when you think the song is going to fade, it comes back strong!
Everything you just said is on point!!!!
The strings are gorgeous! But then so is Darryl Hall's voice, the guitars... everything, really.
It's also much more of a hard rocker than everything hes done so far with John Oates.

Daryl Hall WAS a massive star
Still is
I believe he is quite happy being part of the best selling (Rolling Stone, 2018) pop duo of all time, and being a musical legend in his house.
Daryls house is monstrously good.
I think the OP is taking about him as a solo act. His albums never came anywhere near the stratosphere of H&O (other than this song; pure pop perfection, IMO).I think it’s an indication of how integral Oates was to the equation, even if they didn’t write together in the same room most of the time. They played well off of each other and it shows in the material they put out compared to Daryl’s solo career. I mean, he made some good records, just didn’t have that H&O polish and hooks that would grab you at first listen. Maybe that was the whole point all along.

What a Masterpiece! 1986. I was sixteen and ending my high school. Hall and Oates, My greatest idols of all times 🙏🏻❤️
Great record! Though this was a big hit in 1986, I've hardly heard it since then. It deserves more airplay.
gotta love the happy vending machine
I only remember it existed because I just found a a mix tape cover with it listed on it.
There will never be another era like that. The music just drives into your soul. Nothing at all ever again like those type of lyrics.
Oh, when you're looking up
it's no surprise
Standing there is a man with movie star eyes
You think he's gonna take care of you
The man with the plan that'll see you through
And I say there ain't no way
'Cause I know he's a lie ....
Such IMMENSE talent!
After 35 years I'm still loving this song.
He sings with such conviction in every song he sings, and his performance in the video is right in sync with that conviction.

It makes me wonder what Daryl was going through at that time in his life, if anything, or if the similar themes are just a coincidence. Either way, great tune!
I don't think he wrote this one but performed it very well.
My personal favorite of Daryl's best work....
The videoclip fascinated me so much when I was a kid in 1986. Still a good memory to watch it again 35 years later. 😍
I love the beginning, the middle, and the end of this song, so basically i love the whole damn thing!!!

@@annmariecalkins2096 Understand that this is not Hall and Oates, just Darryl Hall. So you would only see this song performed at the solo tour.
Pure magic. Makes me feel like a little kid again hearing this takes me back to better days.
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
ダリルホール最高😊
同意します
You only see it for a split second, but the stone lion with Daryl Hall's eyes is an indelible memory of this video. Amazing what MTV videos could impress upon you back then.
Why am I just now hearing this at 51???
I frickin love it!!!!❤
👍"Dreamtime" and Foreigner's Lou Gramm singing "Midnight Blue" are two of my all-time fave solo efforts by artists better known for being in a duo / group. Both are stellar pop songs.
Me too. I Remember all his songs .this one only in 2023 I'm ur age too....
The House reminds me of one of The Houses that Daryl Hall refurbished. That was very smart of him to do, have a life outside of Music.
Its Hever Castle. Anne Boleyns old place. @laminage
Love this song. My favorite of all his solo songs. I listen to this song if I am ever struggling with depression. Thank you Mr. Hall 3:40
One of the best songs ever made!
This is such a great great song.
I still love this song. It actually takes me back to the summer of 1986.
I simply adore this song. What a very wonderful video and great song from Daryl. Cannot get this song ever out of my mind. Brilliant!!
Still remember where I was when I first heard this song....I was waking up on a Saturday morning in late August when this came on over my Casio radio alarm clock.....I'd be heading to 4th grade soon...I had an epiphany that morning. That I knew this magical time would never come again and I should revel in the time.
This song is fabulous! Sounds like it has a touch of ELO!!!!
Once I listened to song in its entirety it quickly became one of my favorites...Daryl Hall is a legend!
This has Dave Stewart's fingerprints all over this record. For years I thought Jeff Lynne was the mad genius; but this is Dave for certain.
To be back in '86 again and surrounded by such great music
You can draw a line connecting dots in this song to those in another major US chart-climbing production by Stewart from the previous year: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Don't Come Around Here No More".
たしか中二の時
生涯最高の曲だったのかもね
ありがとう！ダリルホール！
The 80s music was so much more elaborate , with the way they incorporated various instrumental sounds.... actual music with a tune instead of whatever it is we hav now
@Daryl Hall doing well and hoping you are also !🙂
Gosh, I haven't heard this since the 80's (I had this as a vinyl single). It's a great pop/rock hit - what a great find! Thank you Daryl - you always made fabulous music. Love the version of Iris you did with John Rzeznik on "Daryl's House".
The single greatest strongest nicest sounding song of D Halls’ career! HOFAME him now! Please!
Hall & Oats are already in the RRHOF got in 2015
I love the voice of Hall!!!
I love this song. Man, I miss the 80's. Wish I could go back.
His #5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1986
❤❤
Oh many many thanks for posting this video. I have searched a long time for this rock classic from the wonderful Daryl Hall. Such a wonderfully enchanting and groovy video combined with Daryl's wonderful charm and music.
I absolutely LOVE the end of this with the strings. Just a masterpiece.
same, and also I believe the part is actually "Canon in D", but only in up-tempo form, which I didn't quite notice until years later, which makes it even all the more brilliant.
Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (1986)
ZARD - 負けないで (1993)
イントロとサビのクリシェくらいじゃない？確かにギターの音色はそうだなと思うけど、メロディなんか全然違うし。。。
@@ht6lirpa様
むしろサビは「果てしない夢を」www
AH the cello acid trip sequence 😎😛😜😛😎 Wicked!
One of my all-time favorite music vids.This video has always reminded me of the movie,"Labyrinth" with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.
Yes I've always thought the same thing. The labyrinthine garden, statues, and the fancy-dressed girl walking mysteriously in slow-mo throught mist in a mansion
This is one of those songs that I can vividly remember hearing for the very first time. It was amazing then, it's still amazing now. Dave Stewart's production is flawless, he manages to incorporate the Hall & Oates trademark of making background vocals into hooks, and his avoidance of '80s synths on the track (but using strings and harpsichord!) makes it timeless.
And seriously, is there anybody in the world better than Daryl Hall at singing the word "girl"?
Here we are in 2022 and he's still got all his hair, as well as that voice, bastard!!! 😂😂💓👍
Only one guy better dude, MJ 🤗💓
It brings me back to some precious times., Great memories dreamtine. Don't wanna wake up
Hall isn’t my favourite rock musician, but by far has the best STYLE!! I think it’s the hair!🎼🎶🎵
Like with H&O, the execution of the material is SPOTLESS! This is rock solid music. And it's an earwig. Daryl Hall is unsung genius today, IMO.
I STILL have my cassette of this album, and even 31 years after its release it’s still in great condition.
負けないで〰️行ってみよう(笑）🏃♂️🏃♀️
@Teajun87 さんへ、コメヘン💬サンキュー、うける〰️🤭
DARRYL HALL AT HIS ROCKING BEST !
負けないでから、東京ディズニーランドのエレクトリカルパレードが始まる名曲です！！😆
大江千里の｢glory days｣、ZARDの｢負けないで｣と日本を代表するソングライター2人を無意識に嫉妬させ、結果パクらせてしまいたくらいにダリル･ホールのソングライティング(特にメロディーメイカーとしての才能)能力の高さに驚愕します。
偉大なり、ダリル。
Ud tiene toda la razón.
大ネタ！だけどジョン（シャリ）で意外に不在は大きかったということで当時は不評じゃなかったっけw？
ZARDの方の作曲は織田哲郎なのでは？
Dreamtime がヒットした翌年に、TUBEに Summer Dream って曲を提供しているし、(作詞は竜真知子だったと思うけど)
よっぽど、この曲が好きなんだと思うよ。
無意識の嫉妬 じゃなくて確信犯でしょ。
擁護しているつもりですか？
日本でも人気者になったJ.Y.Parkは
Dreamtime とちょうど同じ頃にアメリカでヒットしていた
ステイシーQの Two of hearts のフレーズを流用して、
Wonder Girls のTell meを作曲して大ヒットさせたけど、
こちらの方はオリジナルだと言えると思う。
織田哲郎みたいな人が、日本のレコードCD 売上歴代3位だなんて、
JPOPは、所詮オリジナリティの乏しい猿真似カルチャーだと思う。
14,5年前のカバーソングブームの時もみんな同じ曲をカバーしていた。
@@theflowersofromance3887
ヒットチャートで3位以内には入らなかったけど、そこそこヒットしてたよ。
@@maruchan38 おっしゃる通りヒットはしてたけどね..何か自己パロディって感じがしたなぁ
横道にそれるけどフリップ＆イーノみたいな曲が入っているやや難解な1stソロが好きだなジャケも
RCA離れたのこの後だっけ？「BIG BAM BOOM」みたいなアルバム作ると後が大変だよね...
young or older Daryl you still capture my soul....but no can do give it up to you.....but you got my heart I think that is enough.....ace
Better late than never, thank you for all your kind comments Madge. How are you doing amidst the pandemic?
Daryl is a musical genius he never got the recognition he so deserved back in those days with all of his amazing music
But who’s having the last laugh now ……..
He has created an empire of all of his musical talent and with Daryl’s house he is an musical legend and deserves the recognition from the younger fans and all of the new musical talent as well as from all of us who have been following him for years back to the very beginning we respect admire appreciate you Daryl your music has been the window into our Heart and Soul ♥️♥️♥️
YES WE LOVE YOU DARYL🫠🥰
"3 hearts in the happy ending machine" ...what a great name for an album, I just love it!
aujourd8 I agree, it is a great name and a great album too. 'Dreamtime' is an outstanding pop song that should have been number one all over the place but for some reason failed to take off.
eightiessongs It went to #5 on the charts. Can't say that it didn't take off.
Roger Nilsson I meant to say it did not take off in the UK, where it only reached number 28. The charts in Britain were competitive in the eighties-artists had to sell a lot of records to have a top ten hit. The song did not receive the recognition it deserved in Britain.
+eightiessongs Why just top 10?????, They had to sell a'lot to have top 20 hits as well -which is just as impressive.........
It had to sell a'lot to get in top 30-top 30 is nothing to sneer at is it, I could understand your comment if it went in the top 50 /60 etc then I would of said it didn't take off
The British seem to think anything below a Top 10 is a flop. It's always been that way. Not sure why. Only can imagine that because it's a smaller country, it doesn't take a lot of sales to make it into the top 40 as opposed to the US, where even a top 100 (or at least top 40) is considered an achievement.
I wish the 80’s lasted forever this song is truly amazing 😉
they do :))
A dearly important song from my teen years.
I'm glad to see how much it means to everyone.
A masterpiece of a song! Daryl Hall has the greatest voice of all time! Played this song a million time and lovin it even more!😊
Such an underrated artist and song never gets the credit he deserves always overlooked by others 80s artists Daryl can sing, write, play genius
The Vinyl Revival was he underrated? I mean he had at least 4 number 1 hits with Oates and wrote another #1 (Every Time You Go Away). He also sang on the Eric Clapton hit No Alibis
RRHoF
Songwriters HoF
Star Hollywood WoF
BMI - Most Airplay (several songs)
Several AMA awards
And so on ...
Incredible song, one of my faves of the whole 80s
I am so glad this is on here I have loved this song and video since it first came out. Awesome sound that had some real get up and go and really got you listening to the lyrics
Pearmain2009 @Pearmain2009 definitelya cut above today's songs. All of Hall's and Hall & Oates songs have amazing lyrics that tell stories. Most of the songs today are gibberish lyrically. And certainly most "artist" today don't play instruments.
Very few live up to classic status. Daryl Hall is a master groove mover. Great soulful sounds 😮
Best song from 80s
I want to hang out at Daryl’s house ! 💙💙💙
i am about to be 18 and i love the oldes i grew up on this kind of music if only Darryl hall was my age
Daryl Hall is a brother with a very distinct voice, with his partner John Oates these guys are in a class by themselves. You know their music go listen to it. They're two of the best!
Wow. This has David Stewart's (from Eurythmics) fingerprints all over it. The string sequence toward the end is beautiful, if not a bit haunting, especially with the psychedelic animation.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is one of the greatest pop songs of the 80s.
Check out disneyy Halloween treat
The question is, have Jeff Lynne and Dave Stewart ever been seen in the same room together. My theory is that its the same person.
@@TONY_FEZ LOL. Yes! You read my mind. Listening to this again today, and it was difficult to not hear ELO performing this as well. Funny that I never had that thought before today - and then I saw your comment. 👍
This song would stand up to any thing being played today. The lyrics, the graphics, and the video, plus Daryl's high energy. I am going to purchase his new CD beforeafter or after before. For sale on Amazon.
Wow, I used to be so obsessed with this song and video! I had it on VHS and the quality was so poor and it was so grainy, but I'd watch it over and over. It's amazing to see it here, now in such great quality! Blown away!!
やっぱり最高😃⤴️⤴️
Hall is 38 here i was living in Dreamtime as a kid and the 80s,now it's turning into a nightmare more and more to our ends of our lives.To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
Played this to death on my cassette
+Jeremy Barfour-Awuah Same here =)
+Jeremy Barfour-Awuah I had this on a 45.
Me too. Thanks Dad for throwing all my albums out, but thankfully there's RUclips.
This song is the best! I can't believe I never hear it on 80's stations.
Me too man
ダリルは、中学生の頃からかれこれ４０年間いまだに大好き。TOKIO公園行きます！！
I first heard this on DTV Monster hits, it was Disney Halloween special that ran in 87. Years later and i still don't understand why it wasn't a big hit.
Never could understand why he could never achieve the top quality of music on his own like he did when he played John Oates. Everybody knew that Daryl wrote the lyrics and most of the music. But I still love my Hall & Oates albums. Especially their greatest hits CD. Your voice is one of the best that I've heard in my lifetime. Up there with Elvis, Sinatra and Tom Jones just to name a few.
Not sure if he is singing backup or not but definitely has an ELO feel to it.
Yeesss!!
❤️.
3:04 EPIC key change!
His voice is
PERFECTION!❤
❤️.
i have loved this song since 1986 and i still do xx
Me too take me back there now
❤️❤️
