The Zombies - Hung Up On A Dream (Lyric Video)

[@eleazarbeltran9813]

I honestly think this is the greatest song of all time

[@nessjustness2691]

Me too

[@nessjustness2691]

Any time my anxiety spikes anytime something bad happens I listen to this and it pulls me straight out of whatever funk I'm in

[@dominictosh9171]

One of my favourite songs of that era and it is massively underrated. Shame they have dropped it from recent setlists.

[@mementomori8930]

Odessey and Oracles is my 1# favourite album of all time

[@23igna]

It is an incredible song. Indeed.

[@miraculeine7935]

in my opinion this is the best Zombies song and deserves to be more recognized

[@BilisNegra]

The whole Odessey and Oracle holds true recognition among music lovers.

[@dominictosh9171]

Shame they don’t perform it live anymore

[@prestoncoleman1739]

That passage at 1:45 is sublime. The Zombies have a knack for finding those perfect chords and harmonies.

[@kidnjohnson]

Every song is a masterwork on this album.

[@rigobanuelos782]

Every time I hear this song it feels like angels singing. The vocal arrangements are perfect.

[@chamagurka]

I love how weird the structure of this song is. First you have a double verse with some really cool harmonic structures with both the major and minor E-chord. And then you have a a pre-chorus and then just one chorus, before the song goes back to its final verse, but this time in a key change a whole step lower. Honestly one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@sidleyparkhermit6391]

This is basically a perfect song. This song is like if Caliban's "Be not afear'd, the isle is full of noises" speech met "The Sound of Silence" on a smoky autumn night and they had a beautiful baby together.

[@jeffelrod4013]

This is my favorite song on "Odessey and Oracle." It was amazing getting to see you guys play through the whole album in Atlanta a couple weekends ago with these visuals up behind you :)

[@pnwmeditations]

I learned about this song two days ago and holy hell it's great.

[@Ms.gnomer]

This is a beautiful album about reflection & nostalgia, and this song is such a lovely look back at their time at the end of 60s

[@lebicho3315]

0:48 What a great transition!

[@Pickering144]

An underrated song by an underrated band. I fucking love it!

This is a masterpeace. Glad I saw you guys live in Montréal. Will be in Quebec City front row this summer !

This was the soundtrack as my miracle baby exited my womb and entered the world. I love you, Ruby

[@Lolo-rj8zt]

Why 60's was the «graal» of pop music Incredibile song, colin Blunstone = paradise's voice!

[@breatheintheair570]

If can't see brilliance here then you are just a fool. Seriously! 💎

[@voiceguy3635]

This track I play over and over...can't help it.

[@Ash_Mew]

Gotta say, love this song and it's lyrics, with its meaning linked to LSD.

[@nessjustness2691]

It's not

[@nessjustness2691]

Its about rod argents feelings and the way he saw the hippie movement and peace and love movement hoping It would come to be but ultimately accepting it's how it will probably never be and ultimately ho fleeting the feeling was

[@sunkintree]

@@nessjustness2691 huh? The song is about how the hippy dream will forever be in the singer's heart, despite how fleeting and ephemeral it was. The point of the song is the acceptance of the dream, not its dismissal. LSD is a crucial part of this message just like alcohol is a core aspect of drinking songs.

[@oldschoolm8]

Oh wow, this is lovely. Such great artwork for a greatly true piece of artwork!

[@voiceguy3635]

Very close--if not the greatest--right up there."Light my Fire" is still my choice as the best.

[@markboller4313]

Break my phantom on the keys of life. ❤❤❤

[@lupodelupis3672]

Argent has written some great pop music!

[@jesaja53fem]

Great song! Sounds like a blueprint of what Genesis would do a few years later! Just imagine Peter Gabriel on voice here...

Hung Up on a Dream The Zombies Well I remember yesterday Just drifting slowly through a crowded street With neon darkness shimmering through the haze A sea of faces rippling in the heat And from that nameless changing crowd A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air I stood astounded staring hard At men with flowers resting in their hair A sweet confusion filled my mind Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream A dream unusual of its kind That gave me peace and blew my mind And now I'm hung up on a dream They spoke with soft persuading words About a living creed of gentle love And turned the arm to sounds unheard And showed me strangest clouded sights above Which gentle touched my aching mind And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain Sometimes I think I'll never find Such purity and peace of mind again

[@JohnSmith-oe4ci]

this sounds like it should be a film theme song

Psichprog con Mellotron e ben un anno prima che arrivassero sulle scene musicali tre gruppi fantastici e fondamentali per la storia del progressive rock sinfonico ovvero i GENESIS a cui io accostò di più gli ZOMBIES e poi YES e KING CRIMSON !!!!!!

[@thenorthwolfgames7857]

Is anyone else amazed that this was made in the 60’s? I SAID THE 60’S!!!

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

Very like a British beach boys though, and they were 60's too. People now don't have the originality to do music this good sadly.

[@breatheintheair570]

Agreed :/

[@btsdancestudio5691]

#100 On Rolling stones best list. Sounds so much like early Coldplay in 1968

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

@@btsdancestudio5691 not at all dont compare the zombies to coldplay. Coldplay are nothing but whining little bitches.

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

@not me but it's true new pop music has almoast no instruments with an exception to a few artists 70% of them cant actually sing so they use auto tune they have hardly any talent most haven't worked for it they just know people.

[@longandwindingroad]

tbh i think this song is better than a day in the life

[@sunkintree]

I can sort of understand this in that it's reminiscent (as in the singer reminisces) and describes things that impacted the singer greatly

Yes i hear it 👓

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

The cool thing is that it was actually recorded at the same studio as A Day In The Life during the same summer

[@ChimSchet22]

if anyone watching this video doesn’t know about the beatles, look them up… your welcome and enjoy many many hours of beautiful music

[@ashwin1322]

I would boldly say that every person listening to this song is very familiar with The Beatles

[@ricknorth77]

What? It could only be 60's

[@frereanaktom99]

must be a different zombies. i expected blunstone and argent. the music is very sixties. anyone clarify?

[@breatheintheair570]

Yes Blunstone singing! ;)

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

@Ruby the panda girl blunsgtone,argent and chris wihite... (the bassist) half songs from argent, and half songs by chris white... sometimes it's diffficult to know which song is from each one... the most psychedelic and my favourite (the butcher's tale) is from Chris White... Beechwood Park is White,too... Time of the season and Emily is Argent... It's Blunstone singing all of them
