WTF? Why isn't this appreciated more?? IT IS A CLASSIC
It is in the top of all Australian songs ever en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APRA_Top_30_Australian_songs
It’s always been loved by me. Lately I’ve been sharing it
The Reels should have been much more successful. Dave is one of the all time greats.
I get the feeling it could’ve easily been recognised internationally, easily it’s that good. Whether that’s warranted is another thing. All it takes is for it to be included in a soundtrack or video game and people would love this. Til then it’s our hidden gem and I’m okay with that.
I was 13 y/o when this came out. I was both intrigued and fascinated by this song and video. And now 40 years later I still am.
BRILLIANT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the rare occasions where a great song meets a great video.
I had a hunch I'd like this.
Love won't annihilate hatred
It builds you up
Till you've had enough
Then won't let you be
Fame, won't alleviate heartache
Knocks at your door
Gives you the score
Then won't set you free
Just when you say no more
A hand asks for a key
Oh -I never wanted to be
In Quasimodo's Dream
Shall I beg the ringmaster please
Find another me
Just when you say no more
A hand asks for a key
Oh, I never wanted to be
In Quasimodo's Dream
Shall I beg the ringmaster please
Find another me
For love....won't annihilate hatred
It builds you up
Till you've had enough
Then won't let you be
Fame, won't alleviate heartache
Knocks at your door
Gives you the score
Then won't set you free
Just when you say no more
A hand asks for a key
Oh -I never wanted to be
In Quasimodo's Dream
Shall I beg the ringmaster please
Find another me
Oh - I never wanted to be
In Quasimodo's Dream
Shall I beg the ringmaster please
Find another me
Find another me
Quasimodo's Dream
Dave Mason is/was an Australian treasure . Saw them many times , from their early proggy days when they first came out of Dubbo as The BruceLanders , to their great jerky art pop ska tunes when they first became the Reels ( Prefab Heart is a cracker ) to their later synth based things like this timeless classic . I saw them quite a bit in their closing stages when it was Polly , David , sometimes a drummer named Andre and a TEAC 8 track tape machine which rather than being hidden away ,shared the stage with them .I think their last album was the arch Beautiful , which as well as being ' tuned ' using the then new Fairlight sampling synthesiser was market by K-Tel and advertised late at night . Brilliant .
Dear Wee Huddy
Thank You Kindly for the history of " The Reels "
A favorite of mine in my teenage years, doing all Nighter's watching Rage
This actual track had such a mesmerizing feel to it
Great music video with a medieval theme to it
Thanks for filling in some the blanks about the band
Please take very good care of Yourself
Stay safe
Warm Regards from Ollie Olsen
In the 80s, Polly was a good friend of my artist housemate Lyn Boyall, who died much too early from breast cancer. Polly occasionally visited our place in Charing Cross, near Bronte. He was a fascinating character, reminding me of Harpo Marx. Most memorably: from the deep pocket of a huge dark overcoat he would draw out his pet bat, and let it hang from the lintel above our living room door.
@@NCBSScienceWriting A band I was in early 80s did Countdown , Polly and john Bliss were playing with the Numbers . John was wearing a butcher/chef jacket with faded bloodstains and used those plastic toy squeaker hammers kiddies have as drumsticks , Polly stood behind the keyboard reading a book with the aforementioned fruitbat hanging off his baggy woollen jumper . Those guys were just so ahead of the curve ... Craig Hooper and Polly had a little shed studio in Newtown just before Craig joined the Mullanes ( He left before they became Crowded House ... )
This song is heavily under-rated
Quasi's dream threads through us all. We love our poets. Thx Dave. Xx
Absolutely a Masterpiece Hugs From Brazil!
In a class of its own!
A great idea wonderfully realised. Artistry.
Once upon a time. ...

OMG!!! It's Splinters Theatre of the Spectacle..lol
GET ME OUTTA HERE PLEASE, NOW...
found out about this because the video director also shoot "nick the stripper" by the birthday party.
Hi nzoz....keep uploading. Take care mate .
...I am NOT a gypsy, people...
did not think much about it back then when it was released and nearly forty years have passed and i still dont like it ,, remember ian Meldrum spriking its treasures , never really saw much in it ,, Meldrum must have poured some of his hard earned into the video production..just saying
you had tastebuds in ya arse back then, and apparently still do 40 years later..thanks for sharing Gaz lol..I think its genius so there
Why are you watching it and posting about it then?
You need new ears
The song and the clip are both works of genius.
It’s a big call…but most underrated Aussie band of the 80’s….and there were plenty in the same ball park.
