Asia - Wildest Dreams Lyrics

its back!

My what a incredibly strong instrumental leading into the song absolutely fantastic here again I can't decide which ones I like better listening to Asia like eating potato chip you just can't eat one chip end up eating the whole bag you agree with me give me a hoot y'all have a great day and by all means God bless the 80s

Still listening now!!

Asian another Masterpiece wildest dreams great instrumental build up blending into this magnificent song singing off the chart great singing great instrumental I give it a 10 if you agree with me give me a hoot y'all have a great morning by all means God bless the 80s

Goodnight John

The start of the song reminds me of the music that plays at the start of a SNES sci-fi 2-D scroll-shooter, like Gradius III or Darius Twins.

Drummer!! Shining!!!

Overrated for the name "Supergroup ". No where near the quality of Yes, ELP, Rush ect. Melodic and I dig the tunes but COOOOOME OOOON!

Nice album cover. Look like a pokemon

i crack myself up over the same thing. I also thought the lyrics we're, "they recommended Youth in Asia !! . Lol....then i heard the song blasted on a good clear. Set of bose Speakers with the sales guy att circuit city.and the whole album came ALIVE And IVE never looked back.

what did they fight for ?

Asia still rocking

Insanity has found it's way to tv screens...

This is my favourite Asia song!

Cut out the vocals and it will make a good OST for old school anime, especially the intro.
Simply amazing.

Asia was supposed to be the great prog supergroup, but for me, this is the only worthwhile song on their album. I guess I can't begrudge them wanting to have a little radio success for a change, but prog fans were stuck with an album not really worth a second listen (except for this song).

Anyone else have trouble hearing the lead guitar in the intro and otherwise? It's like they phased it too much but probably just my hearing loss

This album sold 11 million copies worldwide!

I agree with Steve How that this was one of the best efforts by early Asia (interview from 1984 here on Youtube)

A classic from beginning to end.

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new

Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
In your wildest dreams (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

they recommended euthanasia for non conformists everywhere, that line has scared the shit out of me since the 80`s, even more so now

most probably the best Asia album!

Hat Reingehauen wie ne Granate, eines der besten Debütalben ever. Dieses hohe Maß an Spielfreude und ein Füllhorn an Melodien konnte leider nie wieder erreicht werden.

Saw them live in Austin. The two story stage was so elaborate the couldn't have a band open for them.

Awesome show!

Some great stars died that year. But when I heard John had died on the radio? I had to do a double take..because I as always a big fan of Uria Heep and Roxy Music? Bit in those early days of my music discovery, I never even knew who he was and that he had played a big part in those bands. It wasn't until 1981 I discovered Asia. And to be honest I knew Carl Palmer from all my ELP period.
I borrowed the First two Albums from the library..and played them on my brand new Pioneer stack system ha ha.
I was instantly shocked by the clarity..the inventive music..and that voice! Who's voice as that? I wondered.
Such a voice !!
I played this two albums until they were flat.🤔
But I'd recorded them onto two cassette tapes ..
I could most likely sing every note at random if asked. But now at 63 and a bit..I'd definitely struggle 😐

So when I'd confirmed that John had indeed passed away..I was devastated and gloomy for about two weeks solid.
Even now ..after I've finished writing this dedication contribution? I'm going for an Asia album😄
God rest his musical soul.
Steve.

They decorated all the generals

Who fought the wars behind the lines

They had forgotten all the soldiers

The brandy put them way behind the times



Insanity has found its way to TV screens

Vision seems impossible to me

They fight (they fight) for king (for king) and country

I never would have thought this in my



[Chorus:]

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams



The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs

Clips and rushes come from who knows where

From Washington across to California

With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square



We see the soldiers moving on to victory

And children trampled under marching feet

They fight (they fight) for king (for king) and country

How many millions will they put to sleep?



[Chorus]

Fly away...



No, not in this world

No, not in the next

No, not in my wildest dreams



They recommended euthanasia

For non-conformists anywhere

Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares

This never would have happened in my



[Chorus]

Fly away...



No, not in this world

No, not in the next

No, not in my wildest dreams...

This is a great song for Memorial Day.
As a veteran , It does my ❤ good
to hear this.
To all my fellow veterans, congratulations.
We made it through.
We made this day.

One of the very seldom albums with no bad tracks - all hits. AMAZING

I love the bells of the end

Um dos meus álbuns preferidos...fez minha historia.

Thank you for The music, Classic!

Now more than ever America is under attack by the forces of evil under Tyrant & GOP !

It's all a matter of perspective. If you're a capitalist Republican it's under attack from the socialist Democrats. It just all depends on whether your capitalist or socialist. For Citizens caught in the middle , both parties suck. Now go put on an Asia album and forget about it.

one of the best rock album ever...

a timeless masterpiece and still holds up today in 2018 endless

Chrome-plated Premiers.

At 3:27 - 3:31 Daaammmnnn!!!!

There goes Palmer making one drum kit sound like two again!

Recommended euthanasia. When I listened to this in the 80s -- thought it was 'recommended youth in Asia'. Another misheard lyric!

Wildest Dreams

awesome

John Wetton 's sudden death sadness still will not disappear, but somewhat sad heart will be comforted when hearing his singing voice.

I still feel sick about it. He had the most beautiful voice. Both him and Greg Lake now. They were both my favorites. So sad.....

I don't know it must be my hearing loss.. i'm only 28 but I notied starting around age 21 or so when I lost some high end (listening to too much Peter Green FM stuff loud I think for too long) that this particular song's once blistering guitar became and still is inaudible to me... anyone else? I can mak eit out but it's nowhere near as cutting as it once sounded.. and I first noticed it on a FLAC rip of a CD I think so it's probably not the abysmal audio quality (overcopmresison/lossiness) of this video. Cheers anyway, great song.

Peter green took your hearing away???----was it on head phones????----don't ever listen to music on headphones------unless it' King Crimson....then you won't regret it....maybe....

"From Washington across to California. With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square". Sounds like last week.

Yet the culture war carries on... another day, another outrage, another riot.

farewell to the bassist, vocalist and songwriter, the most handsome bassist in music world ever.

RIP John Wetton Thank You for the Music

RIP John

left us a great volume of music  yeah  rip

THIS SONG FUCKIN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Insanity has found it's way to tv screens.... vision seems impossible to me'

Pretty prophetic, huh?

Yep.
Someone once said that insanity was an appropriate response to reality so maybe they should sing reality has found it's way to tv screens.

RIP Greg Lake

RIP John Wetton now as well.

Demais!!!

I remember when I was about seven years old it was a year after this Awesome album came out my mom had this album I remember playing this album and hearing wildest dreams and my jaw dropping. then I heard time again and I was floored by the musicianship of these incredible musician's. Steve howe John wetton Geoff Downs. about two years later in 1985 I seen Asia in Asia I think the legendary Greg Lake filled in for the equally Legendary John Wetton. well anyways lol I was mesmerized by Carl Palmer 's Excellent Drumming on wildest dreams and Time again. I'm also a huge fan of ELP. my two Favorite band's. RIP Keith Emerson.

and last but not Least the Absolute Greatest Drummer in rock Carl Palmer.

Wow your mom was pretty cool!

known fact yes she is thank you for your kind comment.

Now John Wetton's gone as well.

Cuzimada Papushkian i'm very shocked didn't know that he passed away. he was an incredible Musician Rip Mr John Wetton 1949- 2017. Asia fan for life.

Carl Palmer at his very best!

Great band even better musicians.

I was 12.  I thought he said "they recommended youth in Asia" haha  I LOVED this album, played it to death.  Great thing was,  it was all mine.   I never heard any other tracks on the radio except for "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell",  I didn't go to their concerts or hear them at friends' houses.  So I felt like this was all mine :)

+tamonettX500 I thought the same thing too.

I was also 12 in 1982 what a phenomenal year for music
