Anyone ever heard of the song "Dreamland"?

[SallyMander]

I know there are several songs with this same title... The one i am thinking of is a vague MTV recollection from my childhood.

Here's what i think i remember:

*Male singer
*Came out around 1986
*Had a video on MTV with a forest, where string instruments were playing themselves and the whole scene was kind of wavy/trippy
*Chorus was something like "I'm living in dreamland, baby gonna run away, run away baby" (yes that's all i remember...)


I've tried googling, with no luck. It's not the Bob Marley or Elton John "Dreamland" i'm after.


Any help? :shrug:

This has been bothering me for a couple decades now. :rofl:

1. i remember seeing a teevee show

probably in 1973.

it was b&w, video, and the screen was black with the exception of a few characters in the center of the screen.

it scared the shit out of me.

2. Maybe Dreamtime by Daryl Hall?

Dreamtime lyrics

I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage

You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy

I know you girl
I know what to believe.
Maybe things ain't been so good at home

And the people that you love never cared at all

You wanna run away
don't care where you go

You wanna run away
that's all you know.

Believe it's alright to fantasize

And say the words you think will satisfy me

But you know better than I
'cause you know what's a lie.
You're living in dreamtime
baby
it's time to wake up.
You're living on dreamtime
baby
it's time to shape up.

In your dream it's overcast

Rain comes down moving your way fast

You wanna run away
don't care where you go

You wanna run away
that's all you know.
You turn in a corner and you see a door

Walk on through
throw yourself on the floor

When you're looking up it's no surprise

Standing there is a man with movie star eyes.

You think he's gonna take care of you

The man with the plan that'll see you through

And I say there ain't no way
'cause I know he's a lie.
You're living in dreamtime
baby
it's time to wake up.
You're living on dreamtime
baby
it's time to shape up.
You're living on dreamtime
you wanna run away

You're living on dreamtime
you wanna run away.

You're living in dreamtime
you wanna run away

You're living on dreamtime
you wanna run away.
I never saw anybody fall apart so fast

You're living in the dreamtime
you know it ain't gonna last.
Never saw anybody think she's so right and be so wrong

Living in dreamtime
it's hard to carry on.
