The Dream Academy Remembrance Days videos

Taken from the 11 track Cd, Remembrance Days. The Dream Academy burst onto the scene in 1985 with the worldwide hit, "Life in a Northern Town", followed it up with "The Love Parade", and their version of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" and "The Edge of Forever" were subsequently immortalized by John Hughes' iconic film, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This is their follow-up to that album. The Dream Academy are Nick Laird Clowes, Gilbert Gabriel, and Kate St. John. See credits at the end of this for internet links on what they are up to today.

Time for me to listen to those Dream Academy albums again. I still think they were criminally underlooked, all three of them (the albums and the people!). And the unsung jewel in the crown has to be...The Party from the debut album. I loved every song they ever did, though, and thanks to YouTube even found several I had never heard of before. Of course, they're not big enough for the remaster/reissue treatment, but we can hope...! Thanks so much for putting this up.

I just purchased the double CD set of "Remembrance Days" and "A Different Kind Of Weather", both remastered, plus the reissue of their debut album on CD from Amazon really reasonably priced. I always loved them, but had old worn out albums and tapes. I highly recommend those reissue CDs! :)

Severely overlooked band that had quality and innovation effortlessly wrapped within their mesmeric compositions. This is a fantastic song that brings back great memories, one of those songs that gives you a tingle as it begins. Remember the video being an 'exclusive' on the Chart Show when it was on Ch 4. Think this was actually released twice as a single - autumn 87 and Jan 88. Unforgiveable that the British record-buying public didn't propel this to a deserved place inside the Top 10!

Love this song and the memories I associate with it. I hear it, and I'm back at McGill--I'm in my early twenties again, the future was an unwritten book and full of possibilities. Good, good memories; good, good times...............

I love this song. That's all.

The production of the vocals of this group are a genius work. His phrasing dramatizes an already excellent lyric..."...'tense-if-ied by a lack of competition..." and the constant layering of the background vocals allows them to becomes an instrument all their own. Never trite or overplayed, and adapted to each song in a unique manner. Too bad this groups effort was overlooked by the masses.

I know they did a video for their cover of "Everybody's gotta learn sometime". I remember seeing it on MTV and VH1 back when they actually played music. Does anyone have the ability to post this or know where I can find it? I'd love to see that one again.

@richardhal They have released a double CD set...Try hmv,com ........ With "Rememberance Days" and "A Different Kind Of Weather" both remastered... Meanwhile tthey reissued their debut album at least once before Music Stores fell victim to Itunes, and online downloads... Best of luck!

This song was CRIMINALLY underrated!!! It has always been my favorite by them.

The music fits the lyrics so perfectly....and you gotta love the surf and seagull sound effects.

My favorite record too! Every single song is excellent! Where can I get these videos to have for my very own?! And a bio? pics?
