The song's probably aged better than the video (which was shot about two miles from me)
Worth a watch if you can see it on Youtube though.

There was a sample of this used in a more recent song - that was rather good too.

Good to hear this one again. Sounds fresh and sweet. I loved the Dream Academy back in the day.

I played this song over and over. Doesn't have the same magic now, but it's still nice.

David Gilmore, I think.

Dated feel, but still nice.

i love this. bought the cassette tape right when it came out. there is something so peaceful and lovely about this sound. some other pretty good songs on the tape, too but...this one is special. sure, it doesn't exactly stand the test of time...but still.

Bought the CD when this song was hot. Never play it these days. IMHO, it hasn't aged well...but that's just my opinion....

To my ears, this song has a timeless quality - I don't necessarily associate it with the 80s, even though that's when I first heard it. Thanks for playing this.

I was hoping for Baba O'Reilly and I get this. Oh well, this is kind of good.

This song has always BUGGED me. It has a pathetic, meandering, soulless quality. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe it's missing something.

This was played a lot in Minnesota during snowstorms...Makes me think of a real winter; not the global warmings ones we're getting these days.
