I was Sweet 16 when this song came out in 1985. What I wouldn't give to go back to that time in my life....to be young again, to see my mom again who has been gone so long, to see all my old friends, and have all my old "problems" again with none of the burdens of being older. Enjoy your youth, folks, because it goes so fast.

I was 16 as well. I’m 55 now, have a wonderful wife and two beautiful kids, 14yr girl,and 11yr boy. I’m an older dad, grew up in a small, Northern town 45 minutes East of Sacramento CA. I can listen to these songs all day. I remember my black, zip up parachute pants and pegged, Levi 501’s, and the first kid at Amador High School to have blue & white, high top checkered vans. My parents took me all the way to Santa Cruz to get them. I was so excited. I’m sitting here right now as I’m typing this, watching my wife and kids get ready for church. My life has turned out great. I actually have tears now thinking how I grew up in the 80’s, all the cool games you could play on your Commodore 64, swimming in the rivers and jumping off rope swings, and dreaming about all the things I was gonna do. When I look around today, I think back at how lucky and fun the 80’s were. Take care everyone. Tim Cassesi, Ione, Ca

Playing games in the snow, catching snowflakes. I'm West Country not Nothern but the gentle nostalgia for those times makes me smile. ( I remember watching JFK's funeral with my parents-didn't understand why, just remember Jon Jon holding his mother's hand. I also remember the storm of '63.

But then I toured a radio station and watched an evenings broadcast and you basically sit in a room and drag and drop sound bites into slots all day then play on your phone or play solitaire. I just cried. They didn't even have a microphone in the room, they had a small closet sized room with a mic and if he needed to make an unprogramed announcement he flipped a switch went in there and recorded it or said it live and went back to his phone. I cried. I couldn't believe it. No disks no records, no talking or interacting with the airwaves.

Every generation thinks they had it the best when they were young, and that the world has gotten worse since then. It is human nature, but it isn't true and never has been. Your nostalgia is blinding you to the problems that existed then - the Cold War, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, apartheid in South Africa. AIDS, starvation in Africa, lead in the atmosphere poisoning brains, the hole in the ozone layer. No time is perfect, they all come with problems. I was a teenager in the 90s, but I know it was messed up time too. Today is better, though some things are worse.

Yeargh, life can be SO brutally honest and fair... 😏 Especially in these DARK TIMES. 🌚 When the end is near, you will often find yourself tuning into the 'DEAD FREQUENCY' more and more. So why not just EMBRACE death, my dear brothers and sisters? 💀 More and more and more young people are dyin' even sooner than their parents nowadays! Life is SHORT, so WHY are they all in such a big hurry to DIE??? 🤔 Better to be OLD, than to NEVER even grow old at all. Being older, simply means that you'll at least be able to reflect back on all of the things and experiences you had in life... At least you can say: "Hey man, I was there at the party! Where was YOU?" 😉 Can't really say the same about these youngsters tho; all dying in like their 20s, and 30s. Doin' the most STUPIDEST things ever, just to get themselves and all their friends KILLED. Gettin' laid to rest, like WAY BEFORE their time. Cuz headstones DON'T lie! 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦 Um-hum, aha, okay? And the best thing of all these days? YOUNGER you are, just means the LONGER you'll SUFFER!!! 😝

This video would come on the original MTV at least 6 times a day every 4 hours for months and I would drop whatever I was doing to listen to it. It brought me calm and peace for 4 minutes.

@@tamiparris3132 “Take on Me” by A-ha is another blockbuster hit. A little more techie, but hugely popular and still played today. “Africa” by Toto is another song that many remake and is attributed to its gentle sound. U2’s “With it Without You” has touched many souls deeply with Bono’s top notch vocals and great guitar rifts from “The Edge”. Journeys “Don’t Stop Believing” has got to round out this short list of many many great songs from the 80’s. There are literally hundreds of songs across many genres that are very enjoyable. I think that may be the best point of 80’s music, it all sounded good all while being distinct.

This song makes me feel bad for people who aren't moved emotionally by music. I have no personal nostalgic connection to this song, but hot damn is it powerful

You should stop saying you feel bad for people because they are not as emotionally gifted as you. It is condescending and really a back handed insult. This song is about a time when people were much more understanding of life and there was far less judgement than there is now by the PC left. This is why the people like me who lived through it miss those times so much!

Before the cancer of Social Media set in, music meant something because we had real musicians to listen to. I’m now 61 and while I look back as these some of the best days of my life, it carries me forward with clear air.

Funny how a single song can take you back to an era more than any others. When I can I'll play it loud, listen to this and the wave of nostalgia hits so strong it will often reduce me to tears. There are specific times and places this song brings back and wants me to physically go back to as well. Hurts so much that I can't. The only way I can do that at all is to listen to this song and it's as close to it as I'll ever get.

It was 1986 when I listened to this magical song in Halifax, Canada, where I went to conquer another dream of my youth. It caused me so much nostalgia by then that by listening to it nowadays it makes me feel the same nostalgic and dreamer person as I have always been. Thank you Dream Academy for such a magic song!

The, very first time I heard this song, I was a junior in high school. My girlfriend, an I where kissing, in my convertible over looking the Golden Gate Bridge, looking at San Francisco at night. The next time, was when I was in SouthWest Asia with my Airborne Unit, during the first Gulf War. The same girlfriend, sent me a tape that she made for me, that only had this song. She, sent it as she looked at this song was OUR song. It, sure brought back fond memories sitting in a fox hole late at night. This, song holds a very special place in my heart!!!!

"All of the world shut down." Beautiful song, prophetic lyrics in March 2020. You only get one life and if I'd known in '85 what i know now, I would have changed a lot; especially how I treated my family and loyal friends with suppressed angst and displaced anger of 20 something finding a path in life.

The actual lyric is "All of the work shut down". The town he is describing suffering economically and many people had to leave to seek other opportunities. Still, the meaning of the song is up to you and it is yours to experience in whatever way you choose. Whether you hear "world" or "work", I feel what you are saying and the sentiment in the song is clear.

Think the lyric is “All of the work (or works) shut down” which considering this is a song about the North of England hits home, mines closing, industrial areas like the mills, factories, collieries, power stations closing, was a very real a serious thing that did much to decline many communities in those parts.
