The Music Of The 80s - Favorites, Classics And Rarities

[blow_gobi]

New Wave ruled in the 80's...

 

But the among songs I loved to hear were Mondo Cane's "Everlasting Love (in an ever changing world)" and "New York Afternoon"

 

The Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian" not on most requested list?

 

I also remembered Arcadia's "Election Day" during EDSA 1, and Power Station's "Some Like it Hot" a bit later. Both groups originated from Duran Duran

John Taylor and Andy Taylor also had 1 solo hit each but nothing more.

 

John Taylor had "I Do What I Do" which reached the Top 40

 

Andy Taylor had "Take It Easy" which went to the Top 20

unguarded moments --------- the church

These Dreams- Heart

 

Spare a little candle

Save some light for me

figures up ahead

Moving in the trees

 

White skin, in linen

Perfume on my wrist

And the full moon that hangs over

these dreams in the mist

 

Darkness on the edge

Shadows where I stand

I search for the time

On a watch with no hands

 

I want to see you clearly

Come closer than this

But all I remember

Are the dreams in the mist

 

{chorus}

These dreams go on when I close my eyes

Every second of the night, I live another life

These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside

Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away

 

Is it cloak 'n dagger

Could it be Spring or Fall

I walk without a cut,

Through a stained glass wall

 

Weaker in my eyesight

The candle in my grip

And words that have no volume

Falling from my lips

 

These dreams go on when I close my eyes

Every second of the night, I live another life

These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside

Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away

 

There's something out there, I can't resist

I need to hide away from the pain

There's something out there, I can't resist

 

The sweetest song is silence

That I've ever heard

Funny how your feet in dreams

Never touch the earth

In a wood full of princes

Freedom is a kiss

But the prince hides his face

From dreams in the mist

I remember our high school band performing this song on our graduation ball.

 

These Dreams was a number 1 song by Heart from the self-titled album in 1985.

 

Other hits in that album were: Never, What About Love, Nothin' At All and If Looks Could k*ll

[dencio]

Galing naman ng most requested songs list mo, Hitman! Wala bang local version n'yan?

Hindi pala kasama dito yung "Alone"?! I thought 'Alone' and 'Never' were on the same album.

[hitman531ph]

Alone is included on their next album Bad Animals.

 

Regarding the list of most requested songs based on listeners requests, unfortunately, I don't have a local version of it.

New Wave ruled in the 80's...

 

But the among songs I loved to hear were Mondo Cane's "Everlasting Love (in an ever changing world)" and "New York Afternoon"

 

These are not quite new wave but a re-emerging disco-like bands in the mid-eighties produced by Stock-Aitken-Waterman (producers of Rick Astley).

 

These are great tunes, I remember dancing away in Euphoria (or Ew-phoria as the con(y)os would pronounce it) with songs like these. Damn, naala-ala ko tuloy yung model na di-na-date ko noon. Ayyyy sarap lapain.
