The 80s rule the roost what a wonderful time to be alive

[@perpetual61]

This is a Perfect Example of Why I Miss The 80's. The Originality, Uniqueness & the Creativity of the Music. I'm so glad I was a Part of the Greatest Music Decade Ever.

[@Pezpipa]

Totalmente de acuerdo con usted.

[@davidwright4495]

I'm right with you on that. I'm 57 and miss the 80's

[@jensmeurer8620]

Das waren Zeiten! Ich vermisse sie so sehr! Take me Back top this Times!

[@marioramus9681]

Ich auch. Bin Jahrgang 77 und mit dieser Musik aufgewachsen.

[@jt.8144]

The last time I heard this song was in 1989. 2023. FULL CLOSURE. Thank you LIFE! Truly Grateful.

[@jamierooke5151]

How time flys the 1980s only seem like yesterday not 4 decades ago great memories of great bands and great songs and some great friends that have passed at least there are great memories of both that will live with us all until our time is up cheers everyone.

[@bornflippy1]

2023 I am 55 and walking through memories of great bands and music in my life. Real Life "Heartland " album was special even by 80's uber creative and eclectic standards. This band was different among many different bands. I get why so many of the generations after us gravitate to "Our" music..it was fearless and free of so many of the tethers that confine so much of the music that has come after. It is always great to come back and listen to the "good stuff " besides the flood of memories it is simply fantastic music.

[@alexpankewitz3010]

Das ist Musik die ich brauche - Montag morgens 6:30 auf dem Weg zur Arbeit 😝 Super Energy-Kick.

[@marioramus9681]

Geht mir genauso. Ohne Musik geht bei mir gar nichts!

This is the music. We used to go to the pubs and see band's like this what a great night back in the day. What a shame it's all gone. Not many dickheads around on them days. Dance all night no interference just a good night. F.Wits not tolerated, they got sorted out real quick. Bye bye good old days.😕😕🍺👍🇳🇿

The mid 80s were such an exciting time in music, and Real life were right on the forefront. Sadly that era is all gone now.

[@sneakypress]

“You have no idea how much this song means to me. I almost cry every time I hear it. It is my life from beginning to end.”

[@julianofpaignton6202]

This song has been going through my head ever since I heard it at Aahs on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles back in 1985 and finally I found who played that song I heard all those years ago.

[@99marcoa]

[@MrRockabilly70]

Soon to be 42 and I can absolutely relate to a lot of the comments being posted. I remember jumping around like a frog in a fuckin sock to this one with my mates at the blue light disco trying to impress the girls lol. Had some of the best times of my life during my teenage years in the 80's, wish I could go back and do it all again and while I wasn't a big fan of the new wave/synthesizer stuff back then, this song was an exception. Thank you reallifeexperience for the upload.

[@7simplyred]

If you had a jukebox today full of 80s music the lottery win wouldn’t play it all YEAR 😎

[@spacecricket]

I am soooooo blessed to have gone through my adolescence in the 80s!

[@SHS854EVER]

this is when music kicked ass and this is why this music will never die.This has to me one of my favorite tunes of all time .I wish i had a time machine i would drop everything and go back in a heart beat.

[@DaviAlvesdonacimento]

Sou fã seu adoro suas músicas Real Life

[@FairladyS130]

Thanks heaps for this, sound is better than most.

[@sharpsterpete]

i remember rollerskating to this song back in the 80s

[@sammler68]

[@yvonnem6886]

David you are so awesome ❤. Your music got me through my early teens. Love you always ❤

[@08030309961]

Man..I remember this song from back in 1984! Me and my New Wave buds cruising on Friday nights pumping out our favorite New Wave Tunes heading to the Underground clubs in Downtown Toronto for an all nighter of dancing! Those were the days!!

[@fjfrancois]

Yes, they were the days.

[@doctorairflow]

The 60's brought us something new in pop music....kooky and zany fun. Just watch "A Hard Day's Night." But FUN, returned again in the 80's and we have not seen it since. IMO this why 15 kids now want a time machine to go back to a fun time. Who the hell wouldn't? 80's music like this oozes fun.

[@Snoopies622]

Alas, the 80's can never come again. At least we have our recordings and memories.

[@klax001]

I was born in 87 and I got into 80's music big time by the time I was in 9th grade in 2002 so highschool and college memories include mostly 80's synthpop and new wave stuff. Some of my friends at work thought I was weird because I stuck to the 80's while they all hopped on the dubstep bandwagon. Still no regrets here! :D

[@martinteddy8683]

Myyyy god is that good. Far ahead of their time. Masterpiece...we miss Sound Luke this today...

[@adidzis]

Great song!!! Thanks to youtube I 've got a chance to listen it again after so many years ... How does it comes, that so many wonderfull songs, like this one, have been written in Golden Eighties?! Even hard to compare with today's rap-hiphop-sh!t...

[@pepper1dancer]

Cant believe this didn't go higher on the charts here in the USA. I bought this on 12" back in the day. I love this song!!

I am listening❤❤❤❤❤❤Andrea from germany

[@BennoWitter]

This is not only "Real Life", it's real music as well, when people knew that electronic music doesn't have to sound like screws in a blender and could have real harmonies that are pleasant for your ears.

[@hilarioph]

The best 80's ever. I seen this on the New video hour in the Philippines back in 1992 right after our field trip for our class when i went home

[@BlackHeartsJG505]

god christ, where is music like this today?

[@christianjosuechicahoyos9406]

80's masterpiece

[@maryanneoneill451]

The beginning of Fluorescent clothing. I remember this. Anyone remember the fluorescent zinc cream you could buy just like the video clip. Persons at the beaches were smothered with fluorescent pink across noses and cheeks. I wonder if they got the idea from persons drinking in the clubs at dark after spending hours in the Australian sun where you couldn't wash the stuff off your face. Ahhh, the memories. This is awesome !! Thank you for this. love it.

[@kevinfairburn]

Lead singer, David Sterry, is Ben Stiller's doppelgänger! I woke up this morning with this song in my head for some reason. Hadn't heard it for eons. Great nostalgia trip this clip.

[@koolroo8337]

I always thought he looked like a young Ben Mendelsohn.

[@jeffmatich6649]

Always love this song brings back great 80s memories at 56 this keeps me going

[@Jo2002-b7y]

I lay down to rest my head My soul to keep the night I dread It's no dream Slumber comes as darkness falls And shadows dance across my walls It's no dream Wake up Don't sleep My dreams become so real to me Wake up Don't sleep While the night is young I lay down to rest my head My soul to keep the night I dread It's no dream Slumber comes as darkness falls And shadows dance across my walls It's no dream I Wake up Don't sleep My dreams become so real to me I Wake up Don't sleep While the night is young Catch me I'm falling Down again I know it's a dream but just the same There's a face before my eyes are closed but I can recognize the danger Slumber comes as darkness falls And shadows dance across my walls It's no dream I Wake up Don't sleep My dreams become so real to me I wake up Don't sleep While the night is young Catch me I'm falling Down again I know it's a dream but just the same Catch me I'm falling, falling Ahhhhh Ahhhh Catch me I'm falling Down again I know it's a dream but just the same Catch me I'm falling Catch me I'm falling Catch me I'm falling I'm falling Catch me I'm falling I'm falling Catch me I'm falling I'm falling Catch me I'm falling I'm falling

[@Kazilikaya]

I had an amazing experience with this song one night in february '11. I woke up in the middle of the night around 2AM and started listening to this song on my iPod. I was half asleept-hat weird state of consciousness where you're aware of your surroundings but not quite in touch with reality....and as I heard the lyrics "there's a face before my eyes their closed but I can recognize the danger!" I became terrified because I actually thought there was someone there in the hallway.

[@rawckas]

They were so ahead of their time, great beat and sound for an Aussie band back then. Not many Australian dance songs made prior to them.

[@leverage1976]

Wow. great use of the synth vocoder. And that keyboard being played, I think is a Roland Juno-106. Ive owned one of those since the 80s. Woudnt trade it for the world. Classic board. Great times.

[@TheWhocrazy]

that ethereal echoey mangling of the first verse at the start of the song has got to be one of the most eeriest things I have ever heard.

[@multifangirl8202]

I love this band and this song! Plus I heard that they are really nice!

[@rpc73]

My Gosh haven't heard this song in ages!!! Good memories.. definitely miss the 80's!

[@hjbcustomrodsrutenbau9509]

Rarely heard such a successful 80 Playlist my respect. Absolutely awesome

[@lifer11]

Without a doubt one of the 80's most underrated bands!

[@angelacamlin8641]

Not many artists have a full CD of awesome songs. I love this group... nothing beats the 80s.

[@ausman05]

Heard this on way to work tonight, havent heard it for at least 20 years or more, 80's flashbacks are always good :)

Esta canción es formidable, muy buena, un excelente logro que solo en los 80's tuvimos la dicha de recibir !!!

[@josephpetranovic3450]

Great songs !! Real shame they didnt have a highly successful career like some of the other electronic New wave Pop Synth Oz groups of the 80s (Icehouse Pseudo Echo etc . Their 90s album Lifetime was very good .check it out 👍

[@ajs41]

Heard this today for the first time, after discovering Send Me An Angel a few weeks ago. I'm British and Real Life were totally unknown in the UK for some reason. I know what this song reminds me of: it's Johnny & Mary by Robert Palmer.

[@Meowminx]

Andy JS Wow! Glad you discovered this awesome band! 👍

[@Stumpen74]

I like Synth Pop like this. Great Video.
