I was sick with Covid and comforted myself with watching 80s movies I hadn't seen yet - and found North Shore. Fun little surf movie, with a killer soundtrack! I thought I knew this band, but I'd never heard this song until seeing the movie. What a great track. Thank you North Shore!
Well you obviously did by the name, but also they been mentioned on many Australian soaps like Neighbours/Home + Away over the decades! Also if your in the UK-they had the hit single: Funky Town in 1986 but never released an album here....
Remember watching these guys perform this song at the soundshell in Rockhampton. Was a stormy night and just as they hit the big accents there would be sheet lightning behind the shell almost like it was planned. Made it spectacular
Got to 57 on the US Charts where u want to be some songs just stall competition at the time all over Our World.Technically their second biggest hit after their wonderful take on Funky Town
"Fear lies over me, I feel it all around , Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown It's not a king or a queen but something in between , Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream" -Ah, the '80s. When glam rockers wore makeup, long hair, and tight jeans. :)
Walking in a strange light, looking at the walls The walls are getting higher and I think they're gonna fall They're gonna fall down over me, crush me till I scream Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream It's just a dream;it's just a dream; Fear lies over me, I feel it all around Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown It's not a king or a queen but something in between Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream It's just a dream;it's just a dream; It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream Wars and violence here happen every day But I'm in another world a million miles away It's just like real life, true life, living in a dream But everything is better then, or that's the way it seems It's just a dream;it's just a dream; It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's just a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream It's strange how things seem to be different When you're living in a dream Living in a dream living in a dream living in a dream
I feel so very, very old watcing this--because I have first hand memories of when this came out. Us generation xers are like the babyboomers reminiscing over doo-wap and buddy holly kitsch 20 years ago
Pseudo Echo are a FANTASTIC band!!!! It's great to see James in this video. He has an older cousin i met a couple of times years back, is a singer and friend of my brother. He was going to take me to meet James, but did not end up happening. Maybe one day! James is a honey!!!!
Agree 100% its one of my favourites of their songs from the Loving An Adventure Album. I bought it back in 1987 in America! I remember seeing them on tv on Friday Night Videos. Loved them hearing them sing Funky Town!
This was their last song that that was made up by their own for quite a long time. Funky Town came next, while they performed it excellently, it just really wasn't theirs.
I was born in 1973. Bought "Love An Adventure" in 1987, because of Pseudo Echo's version of Funky Town, which is wonderful, and I was surprised by the freshness, great melodies and unique Pseudo Echo's style of all of the tracks. Great buy ! But my turntable broke, I never got a new one nor I bought the CD and I eventually forgot PE inmersed in other styles. 2+ decades after, thanks to a sudden remembrance and the magic of UA-cam I am am listening to all these tracks again, and they make feel sooooo happy. For me, this is great stuff thankfully rescued back today from oblivion !!!
PSEUDO ECHO did not only deliver Funky Town, they elevated it..... Living In A Dream....along with Funky Town are some of the best hits of the 1980's, for sure!
There is a concerted effort to masculize women and demasculate men. Thats why its hard to find real men these days, its organised.. men are the engine and soul of humanity
@whutzat They weren't overweight, had some hair on their head, didnt dress like a gym teacher, and didn't let homophobia dictate their every move. Im other words they had some style?
Oh to have my 1983 Oldsmobile Fierenza that was leakingwater from the sunroof and "trunk." Some of my friends were 2-3 yrs younger than me and I'd pick them up from school as a favor, but they'd wondered: "Who is this AWESOME band?" And I'd ennunciate (incorrectly: Psuedo Echo, from Australia!"), and they'd go, yea, yea.... Of course I'd find out, they went to the local RECORD shop, bought the RECORD, and thank me later... I just want to thank PE, for this AWESOME video....
yeh me too that at that time was the fucking shit - 17 had a lot of other stuff going on h& c gurus 52's dk's barnes not really into the hard core - was no hard core this was fkn fine.
OMG.....I used to love that hair back then!!!... tight jeans and t-shirts or white jumpers tucked in jeans and done up hair.....it's funny how times change!!!
Pierre looks quite cute in this video. In the day I only had eyes for Brian, but having met them the other day I have developed a new appreciation for Pierre.
I actually played this cassette until the tape was so thin it snapped. On a side note , anyone else think that Pseudo Echo had mild Oingo Boingo vibe going on ?
Wow! This is the first time I've seen this video for the song. When this first came out, the U.S. music channels showed a completely different performance video.
Wierd how the "wall of sound" isnt there after 1:57, I know this is a remix and it does sound good! But the original sound eludes me here... :)) *smilies*
LOVE this song, never heard it before I got it on 12 inch single about 7 weeks ago from a local charity shop for 10p also got at the same time, 12 inch singles of I'll Save All My Kisses by Dead Or Alive, The Great Commandment by Camouflage, Somebody Someday by 2AM and Girl In The Ghetto by Cry Before Dawn all 10p each too, was well happy LOL
This version of Livin in a Dream says it is from the album Love an Adventure but the running time on the album is 3:28 where this video is 4:16. How can I download this one?
We were Living In A Dream of the 80s as kids of the World 🌎🌍 we had it all.Now it's turning into a nightmare lols 🤣😆 to be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
I love how 80's Aussie bands always sound like a perfect mix of British and American music and they do it amazingly
So true eh
I also agree.
Or trying to sound like stunning European bands like Alphaville, Kent, A-ha, Scotch, Scorpions and Kraftwerk
I agree, this band and INXS are great examples.
Aussie bands are awesome!
I was sick with Covid and comforted myself with watching 80s movies I hadn't seen yet - and found North Shore. Fun little surf movie, with a killer soundtrack! I thought I knew this band, but I'd never heard this song until seeing the movie. What a great track. Thank you North Shore!
I remember that movie!
The Karate Kid of surfing movies!!
It took you THAT long to watch North Shore? If you’re over 40 you have no excuse! Still, we offer mercy.
Well you obviously did by the name, but also they been mentioned on many Australian soaps like Neighbours/Home + Away over the decades!
Also if your in the UK-they had the hit single: Funky Town in 1986 but never released an album here....
@mikekaraoke Yeah Funky Town was the song I knew. I thought they were one-hit wonders. I was very very wrong!
Remember watching these guys perform this song at the soundshell in Rockhampton. Was a stormy night and just as they hit the big accents there would be sheet lightning behind the shell almost like it was planned. Made it spectacular
Such a great band even Mother Nature was rocking out 😂
I don’t know how in the world these guys weren’t absolutely HUGE from this album. Nearly every song on the album sounds like a top 10 hit!
+ top 20 hit single!
I agree my friend
Got to 57 on the US Charts where u want to be some songs just stall competition at the time all over Our World.Technically their second biggest hit after their wonderful take on Funky Town
Loved this song as a kid ...never forget getting this cassette for my birthday ...played it nonstop
We had these guys play at my High School.
Wow! How the heck did that happen?
When? Where was your school? I need details!
Yeah prove to us that this is true, pleeease?
@@carolinesmith7390 Hard to prove on UA-cam. It was in 1987-88 and it was at my school in Fountain Valley CA.
So cool! I saw them at a club in Pittsburgh!
80's rabbit hole and here I am. Had no idea.
"Fear lies over me, I feel it all around
, Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown
It's not a king or a queen but something in between
, Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream"
-Ah, the '80s. When glam rockers wore makeup, long hair, and tight jeans. :)
Walking in a strange light, looking at the walls
The walls are getting higher and I think they're gonna fall
They're gonna fall down over me, crush me till I scream
Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream
It's just a dream;it's just a dream;
Fear lies over me, I feel it all around
Something's looking at me and I think it's got a crown
It's not a king or a queen but something in between
Now I'm only hoping that I'm living in a dream
It's just a dream;it's just a dream;
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
Wars and violence here happen every day
But I'm in another world a million miles away
It's just like real life, true life, living in a dream
But everything is better then, or that's the way it seems
It's just a dream;it's just a dream;
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's just a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
It's strange how things seem to be different
When you're living in a dream
Living in a dream living in a dream living in a dream

Wow, this band is really good, I can't believe I never heard of them before (I guess being couple of decades late is better than never).
Songs that we can actually dance to💃
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

I guess Love and Adventure and Funky Town just shadowed it out

"Out Here In The North Shore We Treat Friends Mo' Betta"🐢
"Turtle?? You made a big gun? Its beautiful man!"
Comment win man ! Great freaking movie !
Yeah... no

I remember seeing them on MTV when this song first came out. So pop-sounding but catchy with great playing. Long live P.S.!

How come the young men were so much cuter in the 80's than the young men are today????
Because young men of today are straight up pussys who don't like getting their feelings hurt.
@@Keep_Crying_Son Pussafacation of America!!
Because in the 80's we knew how to keep our pants pulled up.
The 80`s hair on guys was better than those shaved-off styles of today and also there were less beards.
There is a concerted effort to masculize women and demasculate men. Thats why its hard to find real men these days, its organised.. men are the engine and soul of humanity
I'm always thankful for Friday the 13th Part V for introducing me to these guys. Everything from them is so great.
Man! he can play the guitar!
80s forever! Great funny video.
I love the 80's!!
Ahh yes lots of GREAT music not like now!

Ha Ha, never EVEN seen this video, but I knew it from KROQ -Rock of THe 80s and of course the movie where RICK KANE first lands on the NORTH SHORE!!
Video de macarras ochenteros, pero que al final no son tan malos y se enrollan. Al final son Pseudo macarras.
Still love this band! WTF happened to the 80's! These past two decades suck!
Those guys are too badass for that ballroom dancing class.
In all seriousness Rick how do you plan on spending the money? Im going to surf the big waves of North Shore!!!!!!!
I was listening to this band long before “north shore” these aussies were fabulous!!! Loved their sound, had this album ❤️
yeh me too that at that time was the fucking shit - 17 had a lot of other stuff going on h& c gurus 52's dk's barnes not really into the hard core - was no hard core this was fkn fine.
Me too👍
that dude has an awesome deep voice, awesome song behind it!
His name is Brian Canham
Brian' he is so nice too. Love his voice so much!
They really should have used that in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie! :D
God bless the Australian invasion of the 80's!
It took them a few decades to recoup after losing the Great Emu War
i so loved the 80's got to be the best time and era in my life,god bless those visonarys god bless the 80's!
Un destello....en cabeza......me trajo... aquí....
Its a song not too hip on the rhymes i like. 😉
good im. fan forever
I have the best of CD. These guys had the best extended mixes of anyone.
It would have been interesting to hear this in a Nightmare on Elm Street movie.
123deerfest first Friday the 13th and then Nightmare on Elm Street would've been tight
EricaFlipped one of their songs is in a Friday the 13th movie. It’s called In His Eyes.

Reminds me of Back To The Future movie 😊
Them are some cough tight jeans Brian cough
He sings like Barry White when he's not wearing them
OMG.....I used to love that hair back then!!!... tight jeans and t-shirts or white jumpers tucked in jeans and done up hair.....it's funny how times change!!!
Pierre looks quite cute in this video. In the day I only had eyes for Brian, but having met them the other day I have developed a new appreciation for Pierre.
We lived near the Leigh brothers in Altona, and my ma worked at same place as Vince in Spotswood. Back in the day.
80’s OZ and keyboard guitars rule…
No sabia que existia una mezcla diferente a la del LP, esta muy extraña yo tengo los tres formatos de este album, LP,Cassette, CD.

Seeing them live in Melbourne in October.. hopefully the lockdown will be over by then!
Wait a minute- this is the back to the future stage from the Enchantment Under the Sea dance! "Marty, that was very interesting music"
Such a great song!!!!
I got to meet them at a pool party in San Antonio. It was awesome. They used to play at Billy Marbles too. They are still cool.🥰🤩
I actually played this cassette until the tape was so thin it snapped. On a side note , anyone else think that Pseudo Echo had mild Oingo Boingo vibe going on ?

NORTH SHORE FOREVER!!!!!!
1980 music living a Dream as it seems goes back a while living the Dream music song
Wow! This is the first time I've seen this video for the song. When this first came out, the U.S. music channels showed a completely different performance video.
Was it an animated version? I seem to remember a cartoon version.
this band reminds me of summer camp? i remember sharing what i liked about this band? i was so in love? lol
Psuedo eco living in a dream how wonderful is music song 💖💖💖💖
As much as i hated Bros, they were a lot better than the "best" pop music of today. Lol. Pseudo still sound fantastic, even after all those years.

saw these guys twice on the weekend......went off... one of the best concerts ive been to in a while!
guitars got louder, synth got cheaper... strange exchange ;)
I remember dancing to this at the Panthers Penrith Club in the Land of Oz back in the 80's. Great venue
I'm thinking of scoring with Nia Peeples

Love this song

i think it's all of it. i.e. bass drums and keyboard etc. looks like a "marshall"?
