Living in a northern town and I played this for them in the square.😊 Thanks Dream Academy.

At 1:50. Route 51 South is. South Heights along the river right below the hill from Hopewell Township, which is 25 miles west northwest of downtown Pittsburgh

This version, the smiths version, and deftones version are seriously the best versions ever.

This song came out at the time my grandmother died. The “hey oh ma ma ma” lyric was difficult because it made think of her and my mother.

I was 18 and a Helicopter Engineer in the Royal Navy travelling to the US for the first time it was the time of our lives I will never forget the 80’s got to see the whole world.

I was 19. 3000 miles from home. Working in a record store. Broke as hell but loving life. What I wouldn’t do to go back there.

The 80's and British alternative and electronic music gave us so much fantastic music. The soundtrack of my teen years

this version is comforting

🤲

⛑️🌋

Why this touch my heart?

1985

Aku akan kembali di tahun selanjutnya:)

I don’t blame you

I was Only 35 I was watching this with my kids who are in there 40s Now It brings me back so much great memories and I was like the 7th Person Who watched this in 1985🎉🎉❤❤ And it did feel like it would frees in 1963 LOL❤❤

Buckley's Angel episode from Kimg of the Hill brought us here in 2024

I love this version the most. Its just so BEAUTIFUL 😢

I had only ever heard the smiths version until now, and honestly, they’ve both left me sobbing :,)

These are the grossest unimaginable HOBI HOLIDAY AND THIEVES UNIMAGINABLE

finally found this song, i first heard it in ferris buellers day off, it was me and my late fathers favorite movie, i am so happy to have found this. ❤️

Poor Julien...

One of those songs I can listen to on repeat for hours. And that's not a long list of songs.

Beautiful ❤❤❤

I was born in 1967 4yrs after the lose of jfk, I grew up in New Jersey in a big white house on Pennsylvania Ave in Stratford NJ and always wondered what happened to jfk growing up in a northern town.😊

I was 17 when this came out, it's not like it use to be. Awesome song and artists 😊

This song reminded me that it's okay to want, and that I'm not making a gutter dog fool of myself in the face of powers beyond my comprehension. I'm only human, God damn it.

Rest in Peace, Julien Reverchon 🙏🌺

the lead singer has that "I drive slowly through school zones" look.

I remember seeing this video on Friday night videos. Because we didn't have MTV. Great memories. Wouldn't trade them for anything anything

i ROLLED up upon this music and to say i was impressed by this music would be a GIANT understatement

There is something magycal about this song! I was 20 when it came out. Now im old fat and tired

Remember hearing this track in a very silent, unbusy pub and RACKING my brains as to the group who did it. Took me a fair few years to crack that it was the Dream Academy.

Mi #AmericanDream lives on Or is it a #Nightmare 😉 (4(🐎♂) some) Sup #Fam 👋🏿😇

And now those same northern towns are being obliterated by mass migration. Yay modernity.

This song makes me so emotional, the instrument is so beautiful 😢😢😢

My 101 year old Mom loves this song! It’s a timeless classic for a reason!

Class of '86!

Who was playing cello in the video?

Memory is so painful

Hey Ya Ma Ma Ma :-)

The song is as dreamy as life was for me back then....an absolute dream in Atlanta.

....just float into my Head. "....you put your World back on..."

Probably was super boring until the invaders were caste upon them.

The song, the movie, the movie, the song, it is so amazing. The song by itself already at its own level, but WITH Ferris, oh boy , …… this is amazing

I have a cat named mama. You can believe I sing this song to her. She doesn’t care because she’s a cat. I miss being a teenager in the 1980s

Simply brilliant music

So special.....this song was in my head for years!!!

Me
