Keeping the Dream Alive by Freiheit

a long long time a go ... i watched this video on classic mtv,  for the very first time, and i like it.

but i never catch the name of the band or the title of the song, and since then i never see it again on television, but luckily i always had a strong memory especially to songs that i like a lot ^^

i kept singing this line  "the game will never be over because we're keeping the dream alive"

i kept repeating it in my head so i can always remember it.

somehow that song, that tune, that line gives me the spirit to reach my goal, gives me the energy to do everything, brighten up my day when it all turns you down, makes me believe that there's nothing impossible in this world ... if you believe. this is what i always had in my simple, childish mind at that time =D

now, when i grow up, a lot of things had happened, some just corrupt your mind, your soul, and it seems that you are turning into someone else not you, you're beginning to loose your faith, loosing your way, you are forgetting of what you wanted to achieved, that really turns you down.

so thanks to youtube, i finally find this song, and in order to regaining all my strenght to get in touch with my ultimate dream haha ... let me introduce you ... (watch it here http://youtu.be/w9aYrHzEW-w)

freiheit - keeping the dream alive

Tonight the rain is falling

Full of memories of people and places

And while the past is calling

In my fantasy I remember their faces

The hopes we had were much too high

Way out of reach but we have to try

The game will never be over

Because we're keeping the dream alive

I hear myself recalling

Things you said to me

The night it all started

And still the rain is falling

Makes me feel the way

I felt when we parted

The hopes we had were much too high

Way out of reach but we have to try

No need to hide no need to run

'Cause all the answers come one by one

The game will never be over

Because we're keeping the dream alive

I need you

I love you

The game will never be over

Because we're keeping the dream alive

The hopes we had were much too high

Way out of reach but we have to try

No need to hide no need to run

'Cause all the answers come one by one

The hopes we had were much too high

Way out of reach but we have to try

No need to hide no need to run

'Cause all the answers come one by one

The game will never be over

Because we're keeping the dream alive

The game will never be over

Because we're keeping the dream alive

The game will never be over

if you already see the video clip, well yes it's really 80's ^^, their faces, their hairdo, their clothes, it is the 80's hehe ... but lets talk about the band who sing this song, the name is Münchener Freiheit or you can simply called them freiheit. i don't think i can pronounce it right =D

this German pop and rock band are best known for this single in the English speaking world around 1988.

they are pretty popular in Europe, and most of their songs are of course in German. keeping the dream alive is the only hit in the UK chart.

the lyrics are very clear but i still couldn't find the true meaning of this song, and so i'm afraid that i don't have much to say ... but that the writer is so persistent with what he had in mind.

it seems to me that the writer is trying to convince someone he loved, that whatever they dreamed of, they can achieved it, as long as they keep the dream alive, in terms of believing it can come true by making it happen, and he can't do this alone. so no matter what happens in the past, or what other people says about you and your dreams, the game isn't over yet, this life you have isn't over yet, cause you are the one who can keep the dreams alive ...

=D
