Camel - Vopos

- They woke you in the night
A glare from bright headlights
Sentries in a row
You watched from a front window
Through sleepy eyes you saw the scene
And felt as if a dream
Had come to life
Caught by surprise
Protection in disguise
A high barricade
The price too high to pay
The late night dancers filled the street
And stopped as if a dream
Had come to life
A wail and a cry
Blue lights flashing by
In shadows of the trees
A zone runs in between
The young boy-soldiers filled the streets
And moved as if a dream
Had come to life
Can it be a nightmare?
Will you wake and still be there?
So you try to run
Frightened you're the one
Left inside
Can it be a nightmare?
Will you wake and still be there?
So you try to run
Frightened you're the one
Left inside

Overwhelmingly underrated.
This is one of my top 3 or 4 favorite Camel songs. Weekly, usually more often, the main hook gets in my head and I find myself humming it or tapping along to it. So hauntingly beautiful and poignant while also being infectiously catchy!
Nothing to say. Or maybe one word. Outstanding.
in a damned good way ..
What a great song to capture the fear and mood of the Eastern Bloc!
you hear the dark atmosphere from the eigthies perfect in this song. gives me shivers
I was born in Iraq 1996.. but this song made me feel as I were in 1984 and try to cross to West Berlin, and I had just been discovered by vopos police !
Musicisti eccellenti brano altissimo
Fantastic song from a criminally underrated album!
i was living in the 70ies in west berlin they captured exactly the atmosphere öf the cold war bravissimi
Para mi el mejor tema del Lp "Stationary traveller",Camel como siempre, dejando perlas que poca gente pudo recoger...
Guitar work is fantastic here!
It´s AMAZING SONG !!!!!!!!!!!
Questo brano è stupefacente ti coinvolge completamente nella Berlina di quegli anni.
Amazing song. Camel rules.
Un brano stupefacente, uno dei più belli, della loro produzione.
Una bomba atomica di eleganza raffinatezza e gusto
Esas rolas tan hermosas me hacen viajar a otro mundo sideral, un buen toke y estás rolas es garantizado
Une curiosité que je viens de découvrir . Génialissime.....................:-)..................
Proggy version of the police's invisible sun. Great composition. Late Camel is extremely underrated.
This is just as good as Moonmadness or Mirage
I first heard this song when I was 15 years old. I was in shock. Then came Marillion, Yes, Jethro tull, Asia, and many more.
Exactamente lo mismo, todos los discos que escuchaban mis hermanos por entonces (yo los escuchaba a escondidas). Con los años volví a ellos, incluso a comprarlos de nuevo.
Lo mejor de la vida. Soy relativamente joven y me dió por coleccionar progresivo. Este álbum de Camel es uns maravilla.
How old are you?
@@hakhamaneshgoodarzi5925...The song came out in 1984 and he first heard it at 15.

Man I wish someone had a live version of this
I guess that could probably be arranged, sir.

VOlksPOlizei=People's Police is what Vopos stands for. The "s" in the end is just a plural. The real abbreviation was VOPO.
👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely great song! When do we get it on Spotify?

Vay be bu şarkıyı ilk defa dinlediğimden beri 33 yıl geçmiş üniversiteye yeni başladığımız günler... Yaşlanmışım
ŞARKIYI DİNLERKEN BANA VAHİY İNİYOR HOCAM NORMAL Mİ BU
@@metinklc1906 ben Stationary Traveller dinlerken alıyorum hocam :) hayırlı forumlar
@@metinklc1906 gayet normal hiç endişelenme
33 yıl mı vay be. Bu şarkıya o zamanlarda rastlamak nasıl bir duyguydu acaba, çok iyi hissettirmiş olsa gerek.
Always musically excellent, CAMEL's weakness is that they have never had an outstanding lead vocalist and often have (like YES) lyrics that are full of imagery, but somehow not personal. I will always be a fan of CAMEL, but The Snow Goose is my favorite because they had the balls to release a Rock Concerto, without any vocals or lyrics. Their musical skills were on full display, with no vocals to distract from a great piece of modern Classical composition and arrangement.
with respecting your opinion, I want to object by reminding that Camel's one and only continuous member was their lead vocalist, guitarist and flute player Andrew Latimer. Who makes Camel, Camel in my opinion.
@@berkeyildiz8667 I am a big fan of Peter Bardens, (Andy Ward too) and that is why I have a special fondness for the first four albums. I especially love The Snow Goose because they chose NO vocals, which was both courageous and wise imho. It was not a commercial success, but really shows off how good these guys were as pure musicians.
@@57curtnevan definitely agree with you, their songs with no lyrics hit kind of different.
@@57curtnevan Songs without lyrics is my favorite kind of music. Takes a special kind of musical genius to convey such emotions without uttering a single word
Don't forget Richard Sinclair. For a brief time, they had a really good vocalist. Shame they never keep him more time
The first time I heard this song, I thought David Gilmour was singing..

Vopos=VOlksPOlizei=People's Police. The "s" in the end is a plural, I guess. The official short was VoPo.
Thank you for sharing this information about "Vopos". I had a dear friend who was born and raised in the the former East Germany (GDR). Incidentally, her father was a police officer stationed in East Berlin for a time. Being from the West, I could not imagine growing up under such tyrannical, authoritarian rule.
It was very far from being tyrannical, it was indeed authoritarian but without authority you can see how a country is destroyed. Look at Armenia, look at Georgia, look at Ukraine, look at most of central Asia.

Algum brasileiro ouvindo esse belo som ?
