OMG this is what songwriting is all about! So few songs these days have this beautiful structure and the harmonies!...And yes it DOES sound like ELO meets the great Paul McCartney.
as someone had said: "the best song Paul McCartney never wrote". And indeed: Stefan Zauner, the main composer in MF, is great in harmonies. Just check out also the solo stuff he did the last 8 years or so since he left MF.
How about Christmas No 1 for 2024? Some songs - only a very few - are timeless legends, and this one truly is! For me it’s a step up from McCartney, and the words are so appropriate today. Freiheit for Glastonbury 2025? Best ever 💪😻☀️💖
It is a wonderful song, one that I must have heard over a thousand time - literally! Which tells me that this was not a true live performance since it was identical to the album. What I want to know it what happened to the original film clip of musicians without instruments and instruments without musicians. It used to be on You Tube but I cannot find it anymore. It was a brilliant clip totally in keeping with the brilliance of the song.

Same. After my mum and I initially thought it was Paul McCartney (I was 11 playing this guessing game in 1988 when we'd hear it on radio, but never caught the DJ saying who it was). So my mum gave me a huge love for ELO,because she was so convinced it was Jeff Lynne singing. Then we had the Travelling Wilburys, which were amazing. So much talent and beautiful music in the late 80s and it's so seldom really acknowledged.
not bad for a group of men who can't speak English at least when they made this song it had to be transliterated from German to sounding like English sort of like the early music of ABBA.

this is one hell of a BEAUTIFUL SONG........
Sounds like a cross between solo Paul McCartney and the Electric Light Orchestra. Cool song!
David Williams one of fave danish band back in the day. 30 years already. They have two or three songs that made it in the European charts back then.
Except that they're German
DITTO!
David Williams agree. Beautiful melody.
They nailed it, what a song
Lovely song lovely harmonies great orchestral accompaniment.. A modern classic
Love this song cannot believe it has never been a christmas Number 1 !
For some reason it gives me really good, nostalgic Christmas memories of my childhood. Great happy times 👍🏼
🎅❤👌
whenever i hear this gem by freiheit, i think of my mum & dad who i adore and of my time in the 80's in the uk, sadly a time long gone :(
Magical.
I'm visiting Munich right now and saw an S-Bahn train going to "Müchner Freiheit", so I just HAD to visit !!
Can't stop playing it.
First time i ever heard this i thought it was McCartney! ;) love this song! x
one of my favourite all time songs
I love the fact that people here in the comment section really like this song. Cos it's a wonderfu tune. Can't seem to get it out of my head
Don't even try. Keep it in your head forever.
"can't get it out of my head !"was ELO ! but i like the connection !
This is very special...brilliant actually
Fantastic track always makes me cry. But I love it.
I first heard this many years ago, and have always liked it-but was rather surprised to learn that Paul McCartney didn't write it!
A simply beautiful masterpiece, right ? I can say a lot of things about this but lets just keep it simple.....
Always thought this was wings and paul McCartney. Superb song what a great band.
Heard a rock choir singing this in town today and I remembered how much I love this song and how much it reminds me of Christmas 🎄❤️
If Jeff Lynne had written this it be a Christmas number 1 !
He has a fantastic voice.
Really love this! Takes me back to Edinburgh in the swinging sixties / first parties/ With the Beatles...........
Brilliant Song! Love it )))
A timeless classic
Love this song got there record 30 years ago.
I discovered this song on a community radio station in Australia a few years ago. I missed it when it was a minor hit.
Love this song😀
My favourite boy band 💕
Duuudes, I just love that amazing song from the very first time I have seen it on MTV in 1990 approximately.
absolutely brilliant song
frank barry Yes yes yes!!
PURE MAGIC ✨👏🤓
They can harmonise brilliantly

Search again, on VEVO now.

KyranI an Geraghty 😂😂
Great harmonies!
My favourite song at Christmas

All through the night- Cyndi Lauper 1984

Tonight the rain is falling
Full of memories of people and places
And while the past is calling
In my fantasy I remember their faces
The hopes we had were much to high
Way out of reach, but we have to try
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
I hear myself recalling
Things you said to me the night it all started
And still the rain is falling
Makes me feel the way I felt when we parted
The hopes we had were much to high
Way out of reach, but we have to try
No need to hide, no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
I need you
I love you
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The hopes we had were much to high
Way out of reach, but we have to try
No need to hide, no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The hopes we had were much to high
Way out of reach, but we have to try
No need to hide, no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The game will never be over
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
The lyrics change to ‘the day will never be over’ from the second chorus.
Excellent song, me da la impresión que están doblando la canción, no parece en directo (Temuco, CHILE)
Jewel !
If ELO did a Christmas song it would sound like this
Love it
Stunning indeed. But, good God, weren't those Miami Vice 1980s fashions just totally ridiculous...??
Nulanula shoulder pads
But the men inside those clothes were nice
Classic...
sehr good :)
I’m impressed😅 And not much impressed me these days..👍👍
I always thought this was by wings.
Is this is a Christmas song? I love it but do not associate it with the season. Karen
I thought it was ELO :)

Sounds more like mike batt
It is nice. But the German version is better.
not bad for a group of men who can't speak English at least when they made this song it had to be transliterated from German to sounding like English sort of like the early music of ABBA.
They can't speak English?!
The singer and songwriter Stefan Zauner tried to have a carreer in th USA. It was a fail. When he returned to germany, his career started.
When you bite your tongue
No lip-sync there! Well done chaps. Why has that guy got a guitar?
Such better without that irritating video.
I’ll always keep our dream alive @amadeokomnenus1414 😊
