Dreams were a huge theme in the 80s and I still love this song.
Camille Paglia laments the loss of dreaming.
I lament the loss of dreaming. It's a loss of imaginative capacity.
Imaginations were thrown out the window for the hope of short-term gain on money and power via everyone installing a mini-Trump into their minds to control and slobbify their own behaviour... but the decline and trouble started long before him.
The film this was from was Streets of Fire. I'm sure Camille Paglia considered her music taste too good for this song, but I certainly am not as choosy.

「大好きな音楽映画は?」と聞かれると必ず名前を出してしまう【Streets Of Fire】。
音楽映画のくくりだけでなくお気に入り映画としても必ず5本指には入る映画。
「���故そこまで好きか?」と言うと「サウンドトラックがメチャクチャ良い」からです。
映像も勿論最高なのですが、収録されている一曲一曲がシーンを盛り上げるために作られた狙いが定まったハリウッドらしいサウンドで、視聴者の鼓動を爆上がりさせる効果が凄いんです。
随分前に取り上げたFire Inc. の【Nowhere Fast】が良い例です。これ聞いただけで夜の街に繰り出したくなる感じ。
