  • The official lyric video for "Hung Up On A Dream" by The Zombies off the album "Odessey and Oracle."
    LYRICS:
    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 me on to sounds unheard
    And showed me strangest clouded sights above
    Which gently touched my aching mind
    And soothed the wonderings of my troubled brain
    Sometimes I think I’ll never find
    Such purity and peace of mind again

    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.

    • @Gorilla7738
      @Gorilla7738 День тому +1

      Yeah I always loved how the entire song was pretty much a build up and that instrumental middle section is so cool, the E major so strange as well since the 3rd of E is G#, one semitone above the tonic which is G, it seems like it shouldn't work, and would sound super jarring, and yet it sounds so good.

      @@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.
