I was listening to this one day and i thought it was REALLY good and i wondered what it was called i finally found out what was. but anywhere the point is she is an amazing singer and i give her "two thumbs up"
On Choice Cuts DVD (which is all of Pat's videos) she & Neil also comment on all of them; they didn't like how this was shot; said it had nothing to do w/the song. From my knowledge actually I thought this song was a tribute song to Bob Marley or am I thinking of another song?
I get an MLK feeling about this - the cars, the people, all feels like it's set in the 60's. And the way everyone comes together at the stoplight, and the way race is highlighted. This was MLK's golden dream. At any rate, it is an absolutely gorgeous song. Love it!
But I say them “There are no impossible dreams but there is people incapable to achieve their dreams”
I make cover videos, and my dream is to become a Singer.
MUSIC is all I need to be for my life and able to achieve my greatest dream, triumph with it.
I’d love if you just give me a chance and stop by my channel Also if you could thumbs up this comment so other people can see it. That’s all it takes.
Always has and always will be,one of the BEST female voices of any decade...she rocks....and the music stands on it's own....i 'm glad i was raised to it...
dream to have listeners of all ages love the thing I do...I sing from the heart and stay true
I know all of us have dreams and i know my dream can come true with ur help by going on my channel thats all it takes
In the future, I wish to create videos of me singing originals songs. I just hope to have followers when I post them.
And If Everyone Could Just "Thumbs Up" This Comment So Everyone Sees.its just a simple press of a button that could make my dream come true thank you all
I ended up buying "Wide Awake in Dreamland" 3 times....LOL, kept wearing the cassette out LITERALLY!!! Truly one of her best works, and she had SO many.
2011 and I’m still hitting replay on this song! I LOVE PAT BENETAR! DAMN she can sing her booty off! Her strength, beauty, and kick ass attitude has been such a huge inspiration to me being a female singer! She has paved the way for female rock singer! I am in a pop/punk band called HEY YOU. If any of you PB fans would like to give it a try, we just put up a new video, and would love it if you would let us know what you think.... = )
@3COCOS Hey,,,You must've been behind me last week..I did a 9hr drive,solo from Calgary AB to Hope BC and yes,i did listen to this CD.On the way there,,,and on the way back !!
@inudude15 The whole CD is great for when you're on the road.I'm surprised my copy isn't worn out.The factory stereo in the 06 STI,s is surprisingly sufficient for my liking.
@wrxmike123 Yeah, they aren't too bad these days. I was actually surprised by how much better my bugeye got after just switching to a Kenwood headunit. Of course, the sound of a boxer once it cracks thirty-five hundred or so isn't all that bad either...
I would like to understad why does people always have to say something about Madonna... Ah.. Come on! Let Madonna live her life, and if she has all sucess she has it's because she works hard like a machine. Pat sings better, but there's no artist with a power to transform yourself and reborn like Madonna... Eveyone is unique in its especial way!!!

@2011iam4god Are you really that stupid? How do you know this? Let me guess the lord take time out of his busy day to talk to some nut job like you? Grow the fuck up.
One of my all-time fave Pat songs. Always falls in the shadow of the trademark songs. Always will remember seeing Neil Geraldo riding his bike along my tour bus in Maui. Amazing!!!
@tweethang1 She and her husband do summer tours. She's touring now. They've had allot of albums out. They just experiment, write music, and have fun. Never were they in rehab, in tabloids, nor ever did Pat Benatar feel the need to hump a stage. You don't have to sell your soul for rock in roll.
Pat & her band were truly great - just one more example that it was the ROCK of the 70's that was REALLY the great music (even though she didn't really hit it until the end of the 70's, early 80's). This song came very late in her career, and musically, is one of the most under-rated. Heart actually paved the way for her.
If this IS about bob marley, then it just goes to show that she didn't really understand that stinky stoner, and that she was also suceptable to Political Correctness.
She rocks just as good and hard as any band , and there are many local bands around here even all guy bands that cover her tunes. I was 10 in '85 and had crimes of passion along with Vanhalen, twisted sister, etc and every time id play it for my friends i remember getting picked on till they heard her and then it was holy s**t dude!, and simply put i always heard then and now that she friggin rocks! Ive loved her since 1985! I
ok I gotta say I have loved this song forever it is truly a spiritual and loving song. Pat is truly an icon in an industry full of fake artist and drama. Pat is awesome
@janieworms God Bless your heart! I also believe the Bob Marley connection here... musicians have their own Gods in their channels and that makes sense to them and i will NOT judge this... God is in all and through all...
this is one of the most powerful songs Pat Benatar recorded. I'm not ashamed to say that it makes me cry when i hear it. if you are spiritual in any way then this song will immediately bring to mind the person that affects you the most. for me, it is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
@63jguerrero Amen I also think of our Lord and Savior, Jesus when I hear this song. Don't listen to people who put you down for that because music brings out many different emotions and we all desiver it on our oun levels. Until you personally ask Pat Benatar you won't know exactly who she was thinking of when she wrote this song. I do also see a Bob Marley connection.
I thank Pat Benatar not for the music, but for the rock'n'roll! She's the queen of rock! I love her voice! Too bad XM radio doesn't have a station dedicated to playing only her songs just as Bruce Springsteen does. Perhaps I should start a petition. ;-)
I love this song...from her 'Greatest Hits' cd. She looks great in longer hair and toned-down makeup. I also admire the fact that she stayed with her husband for so long. She's had a stable and good life. :-)
Madonna is not really a singer. She's a pop star, and an icon in her own right.......but she can't sing. Pat Benetar has formal musical and vocal training, and it is evident in the end-product. No fluff, and no tricks. She has a wonderful voice, and can always deliver the song.
i just checked, ad i made a small mistake, originally, the songwriter thought of Bob Marley, but Pat herself says she imagines Jesus or Ghandi or ANY OF THE "GREAT PEACEMAKERS OF THE WORLD" that's what she said in her Anthology, Synchronistic Wanderings released in 1999.
One of my favorite Benatar songs. I say it's about Nelson Mandela. Listen to the lyrics, and I remember around this time, there was a lot of consciousness-raising about South Africa showing up in pop culture in the late 80s. Lethal Weapon 2 for example, also "Cry Freedom" with Denzel Washington, and so on.
@DandAinTac In her Anthology ithere is a booklet and she talks about each song on the CD, she states that this song is for/about Bob Marley, check it out...The Anthology is called Synchronistic Wanderings, releases n 1999.
@DandAinTac It's called 'The Lion Song' and has the line 'Afrika tonight'. Who cares what it's about but never trust an artist to explain a work of art. You're supposed to see it as *you* want to see it. Artists often bullshit about this stuff. Nothing fault in that.
Nice song. This and Le Bel Age are truly my favorites. The 80's and early 90's were a time of hope. A time to look to the future..... Le Bel Age my friends. Le Bel Age.......
"One day every eye shall see" She is quoting the bible . And The lions song ...Jesus the lion of the tribe of Judah . He's gone up to his fathers house ......need I say more . She is talking about Jesus .
My all time favorite Pat Benatar song! This song will always be about all of the truely good things in life, and about my Mother, truely a woman who has lived to sing the Lions Song.
That man can be Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Theresa or a million more without a known name, the ones that make this world a little worth living. One of the best of Pat Benatar.
texomaqh, i think "one day every eye will see truth before the light" is describing Heaven, where we are all one, with no separation, in "one love". "Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love, and his song became the golden dream" is about the transformation of a mind to listening and thinking only with "the voice for love". This dream world becomes a "golden dream" filled with peace and happiness. I think she is describing the life of a man that was here 2000 years ago.
@nostalgiafortruth It is and both Pat and Neil are believers, they don't openly advertise this which is fine and I'm fine with it because their gift to us all is their music and this song is beautiful and powerful.
First, I agree with Akee, she has one of the best singing voices in the history of women singing, and for her not to get best rock artist was foolish.
Second, I agree with Vegasboy73, her and the song didn't get enough credit at all. She is just wonderful in concert and that song tops the musical voice she as.
Yes, unfortunately neither did the LP it was lifted from "Wide Awake In Dreamlans" - except for "All Fired Up" it basically disappeared without a trace, which is very unfortunate.
This song is so incredible. When I listen to it, I feel the blood racing through my veins, breathe deeply, feel the delicious electricity of life... We are One, interdependent, interconnected, all life is sacred... I want to dance, I want to LIVE!
I love so much of Pat's work, but this is just astonishing. This and "We Belong" are my two favorites of hers. Thanks so much for posting, "emimusic."
@MRGXX64 Yeah - can't believe this incredible singer, with her mulit-platinum, mult-Grammy career, whose influence is still seen in female rockers today, has been snubbed by the RRHOF. Just goes to show you the real lack of legitimacy that lame organization has -- they need to model the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences or somehow bring more balance to their nomination process.
@MRGXX64 not to mention Pats Video Heartbreaker was the very first video ever played by MTV and it's a coplete slap in the face that they have NOT put her in there yet.
I was listening to this one day and i thought it was REALLY good and i wondered what it was called i finally found out what was. but anywhere the point is she is an amazing singer and i give her "two thumbs up"

Nice song. This and Le Bel Age are truly my favorites. The 80's and early 90's were a time of hope. A time to look to the future..... Le Bel Age my friends. Le Bel Age.......

Pat Benatar is one of the greats! Some of today's female "singers" could take lessons from her.

That man can be Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Theresa or a million more without a known name, the ones that make this world a little worth living. One of the best of Pat Benatar.

"one day every eye will see truth before the light", let it be done right now.
great song either way.

texomaqh, i think "one day every eye will see truth before the light" is describing Heaven, where we are all one, with no separation, in "one love". "Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love, and his song became the golden dream" is about the transformation of a mind to listening and thinking only with "the voice for love". This dream world becomes a "golden dream" filled with peace and happiness. I think she is describing the life of a man that was here 2000 years ago.

@nostalgiafortruth It is and both Pat and Neil are believers, they don't openly advertise this which is fine and I'm fine with it because their gift to us all is their music and this song is beautiful and powerful.

First, I agree with Akee, she has one of the best singing voices in the history of women singing, and for her not to get best rock artist was foolish.
Second, I agree with Vegasboy73, her and the song didn't get enough credit at all. She is just wonderful in concert and that song tops the musical voice she as.
Rock on P.B. for life!!

Vegasboy73 2 years ago 5
Yes, unfortunately neither did the LP it was lifted from "Wide Awake In Dreamlans" - except for "All Fired Up" it basically disappeared without a trace, which is very unfortunate.

@MRGXX64 Yeah - can't believe this incredible singer, with her mulit-platinum, mult-Grammy career, whose influence is still seen in female rockers today, has been snubbed by the RRHOF. Just goes to show you the real lack of legitimacy that lame organization has -- they need to model the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences or somehow bring more balance to their nomination process.
