George Harrison - Dream Away (Time Bandits)

from the soundtrack of "Time Bandits"
ex-Beatle George Harrison
[Album: Gone Troppo (1982) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_Troppo ]

Lyrics:

Oh ry in eye ay - oh ry in eye ay
Oh ry in eye key ooh lay
Ka lay ooh lau ee - oh ry in eye
Salu tay lee ay vee show

Midnight sunshine silent thunder
Sky as black as day
Only a dream away

Chorus

Waking while youre still deep sleeping
Finding youre not here
Watching a dream appear

Tumbling through a thousand centuries
You dont know where youll land
Its so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found
Near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

Chorus

Greedy feeling wheeling dealing
Losing what you won
See the dream come undone

Stumble you may with the elementary
Lucky you got so far
All you owe is apologies
Measure the mystery and astound
Without taking up time
To the handiworks remain
Only a dream away

Chorus

In out, hot cold, up down, young old
What a lot to do
Sharing a dream with you

Chorus

I miss the old times with movies and music like this. So much of everything is such garbage now that is not intended to be adventuresome and make you feel good and be upbeat. So much now is so strange and dark and has no real value in the overall scheme of things. It is just to make money and that is it. Overhyped and overdone. This song and so many movie themes back then were so creative and soothed the soul. Thank you to Mr. Harrison for this and so many other songs of his. May you RIP.

"Waking while you're still deep sleeping

Finding you're not here

Watching a dream appear"

@TimeLord9811 The 80's were great. Watching this movie in the theatre and living in that era were pretty dang cool. Arcade video games were the thing, sci fi was all the rage, Dungeon and Dragons was popular, and the music rocked. The stuff produced today is so fake and just a bunch of studio created garbage. It is amazing what passes for music today.

ah well, terry gilliam has several good attempts at not just feel good escapist fantasy, but a kinda off beat commentary of civilization (for lack of a better term)...he kinda reminds me of a douglas adams on speed, any how i like this and most of his work (atleast parts of all his works)...

[XyzzyZork]

I love this song -- it really embodies both the movie's tone and the camaraderie of the characters. I'm with the rest of you, I wish this is the kind of film we could find in theaters...it's a shame that Hollywood seemingly didn't get the memo about society turning to friendly escapist fantasy when things aren't going well.
