gotta love the happy vending machine

11 months late i know , but yes , he's a seriously underrated songwriter !

Agreed. anyone who sings,and is trained can recognize his meticulous singing,his control,his range,ability to fire off grace notes like an AK47,without ever going off key. All this ,and making it sound and feel effortless.He also has the gift to sing in the soparano range and still project a masculine tone, which is astonishing. I have no idea how he does that. I feel he's the best pop/soul/rock singer in American music history. He's the Andrea Bocelli of Pop.

@@Nancyjean24 bang on,both of Your comments Guys.

Yes!

I agree! Daryl is the very best! His talent is a precious gift to all music lovers and his fans! 😊❤️

👍"Dreamtime" and Foreigner's Lou Gramm singing "Midnight Blue" are two of my all-time fave solo efforts by artists better known for being in a duo / group. Both are stellar pop songs.

Me too. I Remember all his songs .this one only in 2023 I'm ur age too....

The House reminds me of one of The Houses that Daryl Hall refurbished. That was very smart of him to do, have a life outside of Music.

Its Hever Castle. Anne Boleyns old place. ​@laminage

I miss '86 too - although I never thought I would say it back then ... I missed '86 as far back as '88 thinking about it.

We all do. 1986 was a great year for me too.

My freshman year in HS. Good times. Miss them terribly.

Me too what a great time

I was 19 at the time, didn't have any worries back then.

パクんなよ〜 ダリル〜 あ！逆？？笑

It was definitely different but as a Daryl fan I enjoyed it and it STUCK in my head a LOT ☺️

I still love this. I recommend "Something In 4/4 Time" from his "Sacred Songs" LP from 1977. :)

@@donaldfewell8908 I will check it out. I’ve checked out nearly all of his other stuff. This☝🏽is just about my all time favourite. Cheers

Loved both the song and video!

Some of the latter H&O had a similar sound, minus the violins.

Under rated how, because this song peaked at #5 on the Billboard hot 100 in the summer of 1986.

Reply Mike Worden 57 from Denise f i e l d s hi Mike how are you I just received your comment and you came in under Daryl Hall the title of the song dreamtime very nice song from the 80s. I'm very glad that you enjoyed the song especially the drunks but for some reason we felt that this song was underrated back in the day. And why do you feel that way please let me know. To be perfectly honest what I heard was a lot of fantastic music a lot of energy vibes and I don't know to be very honest with you what happened in the eighties with the song because I never heard it in the eighties where I lived. You know the public gets your biggest opportunity to hear what's out there as far as music that is being played and that's why the DJs and I can't I do have to apologize but I never heard it at that particular time but didn't seem to it now I don't see what was wrong with it and especially because I enjoy the damn thing oh my God I could put a lot of moves into that song, because I am very aware of the group Hall & Oates that this is ridiculous song I don't remember, so the thing that you enjoyed most of the sun was the drums huh yeah they were outside to me I enjoyed all of the music and if I enjoy the music then I will enjoy the Song . Well other than Daryl Hall who would you consider is being your favorite artist and the title of the ßong. And the reason that I was asking because you never know it might be a song that we would like to play for you. Do you happen to play drums yourself, and the reason that I asked is because you were very in tune to the drums which was a good thing it's all music LOL smile 😁🎶😎😀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀👍. Well I would like to thank you so very much for being a listener to the station and I would like you to know that we are now offering my check if you another where and we have a group of songs that fall under the category of soft rock and please don't let that be mistaken is hard Rock because it's completely different. It just so happens to be a group of songs by so many different artists that is Michael Bolton Lionel Richie your supply and so so many more that's unbelievable and you would have to hear for yourself but I just wanted to email in the event that you want to wear and you might want to check it out for yourself okay so again I do thank you and please take care until I can goodbye for now. 👍🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀😀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😁

@@darylhallofficial9132 You're welcome brother!

@@denisefields7233 God bless you! Not a drummer, but I was a DJ for years. I just thought the entire song and video was fantastic, and for me, it still holds up to this day!

The drums always sounded like that in 80s songs

Same here. I totally had forgotten this classic 80s tunes.

I listen to it from time to time to for the same reseon! Personally I think it's one of their better tunes but you never hear it! You hear of Hall and Oates. This tune? Never. Why? I got no idea.

Please just send me a link to this Song. What I can't hear or see, I can't comment.

@@bine9531 🤔🤨 click the top part and leave the comment section. You should be able to see the vid for this tune. 🥴

@@i.m.Q.2 This song is emphasized in Darryl Hall solo tour. This song is not both Hall and Oates.

Couldn’t agree 👍 more about this incredible song 🎶! He’s one of the best recording artist 👩‍🎨 of all time! And this song 🎶 was officially a wonderful composition and a great 👍 masterpiece for his album 💿, as well! Without a doubt 👍! Yeah 👍! Well Done 👍, Mr. Daryl Hall! Great 👍 job 👏!

Thank you for your kind comments, I hope you and yours are doing great?!

❤️.

@@bennithvoigt1376 I WILL, TOO!!!

Everything you just said is on point!!!!

The strings are gorgeous! But then so is Darryl Hall's voice, the guitars... everything, really.

It's also much more of a hard rocker than everything hes done so far with John Oates.

@@ericbgordon1575 And a hint of classical with the introduction of the cellos.

Completely agree. It goes from being a rocker, to soothing orchestral, and back to rockin. Love this song.

I don't think he wrote this one but performed it very well.

It's amazing the feeling it gave you back then what a time glad I was there to celebrate it

Daryl Hall and John Oates Voices GREAT ALBUM for me.

This is the first song I taped to listen to on my new walkman I got at the start of my teens.

He was

Oh same here completely!! 🥴

Thank you John for this epic song. RIP

This is my favourite song of all time. Sing the darn thing everyday. God bless you John and god bless the great Steve Harley. Hopefully they're both up there making more great music.

@@user-dc8sr2fx6v thanks Sandra

MartyMonster 13 in 1986 for me too. This is when he went solo for a while like many in the 80s.

I kept searching for this song for a long time I remember hearing it I was 6 years old but took me this long to find it and who sang it now I found it on You Tube.

How do you know it was definitely the first song you played when it was 32 years ago? I can’t remember stuff I did a year ago lol

I turned 17 in 86 and that was the year I got my first Walkman. This was a big change for Daryl Hall, much more pop-rock than Hall and Oats stuff.

+Marc... I could see someone remembering their first Walkman. I can remember the very first arcade game I ever played. It was Space Invaders at a corner store. This was not something that happened every day.

Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

Interesting. Tell me more.

Daryl Hall WAS a massive star

Still is

I believe he is quite happy being part of the best selling (Rolling Stone, 2018) pop duo of all time, and being a musical legend in his house.

Daryls house is monstrously good.

I think the OP is taking about him as a solo act. His albums never came anywhere near the stratosphere of H&O (other than this song; pure pop perfection, IMO).I think it’s an indication of how integral Oates was to the equation, even if they didn’t write together in the same room most of the time. They played well off of each other and it shows in the material they put out compared to Daryl’s solo career. I mean, he made some good records, just didn’t have that H&O polish and hooks that would grab you at first listen. Maybe that was the whole point all along. For him to get off on this other artistic muse that was also inside of him. One that didn’t really for the H&O “formula.” His “Laughing Down Crying” from 2011 is amazing. Top to bottom just not a weak song to my ears. I think it’s my favorite of his solo work followed close by “Can’t Stop Dreaming.”

❤❤

Yeesss!!

❤️.

I miss key changes, no one does them anymore! 😁

@@yvy6269 I have incorporated key changes in a number of my original songs because they fascinate me, because of how powerful it makes the ending to the song.

the perfect anthem for all us who have been "BLUE-PILLED" :)

Need a little help, Ger Gemini.

@@Shred_The_Weapon ?

The Vinyl Revival was he underrated? I mean he had at least 4 number 1 hits with Oates and wrote another #1 (Every Time You Go Away). He also sang on the Eric Clapton hit No Alibis

RRHoF Songwriters HoF Star Hollywood WoF BMI - Most Airplay (several songs) Several AMA awards And so on ...

i feel ya

@@annmariecalkins2096 Understand that this is not Hall and Oates, just Darryl Hall. So you would only see this song performed at the solo tour.

Yes I've always thought the same thing. The labyrinthine garden, statues, and the fancy-dressed girl walking mysteriously in slow-mo throught mist in a mansion

Oh man, I remenber that nice song. Foolesh Pride is great too

+Jeremy Barfour-Awuah I had this on a 45.

Me too. Thanks Dad for throwing all my albums out, but thankfully there's KZfaq.

This song is the best! I can't believe I never hear it on 80's stations.

Me too man

Pearmain2009 @Pearmain2009 definitelya cut above today's songs. All of Hall's and Hall & Oates songs have amazing lyrics that tell stories. Most of the songs today are gibberish lyrically. And certainly most "artist" today don't play instruments.

Me too take me back there now

Better late than never, thank you for all your kind comments Madge. How are you doing amidst the pandemic?

aujourd8 I agree, it is a great name and a great album too. 'Dreamtime' is an outstanding pop song that should have been number one all over the place but for some reason failed to take off.

eightiessongs It went to #5 on the charts. Can't say that it didn't take off.

Roger Nilsson I meant to say it did not take off in the UK, where it only reached number 28. The charts in Britain were competitive in the eighties-artists had to sell a lot of records to have a top ten hit. The song did not receive the recognition it deserved in Britain.

+eightiessongs Why just top 10?????, They had to sell a'lot to have top 20 hits as well -which is just as impressive......... It had to sell a'lot to get in top 30-top 30 is nothing to sneer at is it, I could understand your comment if it went in the top 50 /60 etc then I would of said it didn't take off

The British seem to think anything below a Top 10 is a flop. It's always been that way. Not sure why. Only can imagine that because it's a smaller country, it doesn't take a lot of sales to make it into the top 40 as opposed to the US, where even a top 100 (or at least top 40) is considered an achievement.

To me, the "man with the movie star eyes" is Jesus. I hope I am wrong.

Hello 👋 Tracey. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

Ditto! OMG I remember when I first heard this way back when it came out. Not only was the song itself awesome, but it was one of the first genuine "3-D Stereo" songs I had ever heard.

Nicholas Smith I was obsessed with it.

Hidden gem, to be sure.

Great comment.

Yep i cant stop playing it I hope they re release it

And I keep coming back. Always will.

they do :))

Hall & Oats are already in the RRHOF got in 2015

Me too take me back there now

❤️❤️

❤️❤️

They can’t do that. You see... He _is_ the Hall of Fame.

you're missing out on some great music the rest of his canon is even more impressive!! Always an inspiration for my own music!!

Ok I will check his other songs later, Thank you!

Not enough exposure back then. I dont remember this song. But i remember all his others. Even ones where i was pre teen

Hello Marie where are you from?

Hey you posted at 31 and 33... how's your tape now at age 36?
