The Dream Academy are Nick Laird-Clowes, Gilbert Gabriel, and Kate St. John. This is their first single from their 3rd album, A Different Kind of Weather, released in 1990. It is one of their more memorable videos as they traveled to India to shoot it.
Listen to Nick's latest song for free ("Mayday"). It was co-written in May 2009 with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and was written for a Greenpeace documentary by Nick Broomfield about the Kingsnorth protesters. http://nicklairdclowes.com/
To listen to what Gilbert is doing today, please see his most recent release including a remake of an old Dream Academy cover at http://www.songcastmusic.com/albums?zoom_query=32383 and www.thechapelofdreams.com

The first half of the song is a bit dull, but it comes alive around 1:58 and is great after that. Duran Duran made a superb song called Breath after Breath three years later which I thing has been influenced by this song and video.

The Dream Academy went to India and all I got was this lousy music video.

This may be the *ONLY* place on the Internet where you can hear this song, and you can't buy it anywhere. Thought I was the only person who remembered this song from the early 90s. Thanks!
