- Returning with the first album of new material since 1995, A Flock of Seagulls present their brand new track 'Some Dreams'. The band led by Mike Score continue to innovate and inspire. 'Some Dreams' features their signature synth sounds blended perfectly with driving guitars and high energy rhythms. The single comes with 5 versions, the two extended versions strech and elongate the sounds in all the right places. A treat for those who love their classic 80s extended versions. Two instrumental versions are also included. The new Flock of Seagulls album is due in 2025. Thirty years in the making.
The main version of the track features on CD1 of the Orchestral 80's CD Album. You can also find an exclusive and limited 'Orchestral Exploration Version' of Some Dreams on CD3 of the Limited Edition box set. This is limited to 300 copies. Both available at www.augustday.net

History:
A Flock Of Seagulls may well be known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as much as their hit single "I Ran". A Flock Of Seagulls were one of prime movers in the 80's new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement. Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock Of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. Their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. "I Ran (So Far Away)" was released as the first single from the album, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily attractive video, which featured long shots of Mike Score and his distinctive, cascading hair. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it. In the UK, "I Ran" didn't make the Top 40, but "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" reached number ten later that year. Truly part of the fabric of the 80s their music and refernce have featured in TV shows such as Friends, The Wedding Singer, La La Land and many more.
Nearly 30 years away, I was not expecting such a great sound. This band and OMD, made the 80's great to have them back.
You forgot Ultravox though! :-)
@@janhavelka5081 Why , have Ultravox also come back to make new music ?
@@christopherdavies3079 yes, have you heard their album Brilliant? It´s great!!!
@@janhavelka5081 Yes I have it and it is brilliant but it’s not a new album it’s well over 12/13 years old
Agreed!
Awesome! The 80's music was always meant for the 21st Century!
I love when a great 80s band drops a killer 1980s banger in 2024. Love it!
I agree with you wholeheartedly
Agreed.
Love your comment too 😃
Or a 90's band comes back today and keeps plugging away, like ; Ride, and Slowdive
Yesssssssss 😍
It's good to know that bands can transform the sound and the feelings of the 80s to nowadays with high quality.
Holy shit. When I clicked on I didn't realise this was brand freakin' new . Bloody marvellous . Like travelling back in time . Still has there signature sound . What a sound . Welcome back flock of seagulls. What a triumphant return . Has to be a hit surely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊Sydney Australia 🦘 14/8)2024😊
I read "Bloody Marvelous" in Uncle Benny's voice, from Lethal Weapon 3 😂
Right?! I was expecting an unreleased track or something. This is frickin' awesome!
YASSSS!! I completely agree
A guy I worked with ages ago used to say bloody marvellous . Probably where he got it from 😊cheers . Bloody marvellous
Unreal isn’t it😊. Go Cats!
Wow! Where is the second like button? It’s 2024 and there wings are still flying! Respect for a truly great track!
For this one we need a third and fourth! This is over the top good!
Absolutely! I can’t get enough of this! They still got it…
I thinking.. if this came out in the 80’s it would of easily been used in Back to the Future or even The Sure Thing
They still sound fantastic in 2024. A very pleasant surprise.
Their live sound has crazy energy. One of the best shows at a small venue I've been to.
I really enjoyed the song. Thank you so much. I needed some new 80s material!!!
I'm 58 years young and I'm so thrilled that the band is back with a killer song after 30 years!!!! 🤩🤩👌👌
Such a positive one also. Absolutely amazing.
same....
58 is a class age 😉
I am close to your age and pleasantly surprised 👏👏👏
Try 72….still think I’m 21….😂
"The new Flock of Seagulls album is due in 2025." That sentence creates a multitude of emotions for me, but first amongst them are excitement and gratitude!
Sounds promising.
We're slipped into one of the good timelines, that's for sure.
Definitely!😊
transfer affection
@thevipcoach1823 Nice reference!
Thank you Mr. Mike Score for keeping Flock of seagulls 80s vibes alive!!
Where are Paul Reynolds and Frank Maudsley ? And his brother Ali?
Last 2 albums were with all 4 original band members
@@VoyagerInTime We won't see another reunion of the original lineup. Frank & Paul both have health issues (Frank has a rare heart condition & Reno suffered a stroke in early 2020 & can no longer play), plus Ali & Mike do not get on well.
OMG - this is like meeting a dear friend you haven't seen in 30 years, and you just pick right back up where you left off decades ago. Listening is giving me the warm fuzzies - looking forward to the new album!
What she said!
Yes!!!❤
THIS!
Love this comment ❤
100% this. A best friend, at that!
Sounds like 1984 not 2024 and I absolutely friggn' love it ... long live A Flock
Yep! 100%
Ironically, in 1984, We absolutely expected Pop music to sound like this, in The 21st Century. I guess, in a way, We were right.
As soon as this started. I turned back into my 20s. Miss this music.
Sound isn't timebound, lots of musical artists still create this sound that began back in the 1980s. "The 80s" isn't a time, it's a vibe, and that vibe is still being created by artists now, even if it is not the top of charts songs. Fresh and beautiful 80s vibe songs are put out into the world by many artists every day, still!
@@darrenyoung4509 Truth. I found the band, Dirty Honey a few years back.
Fantastic!!!...ive been a fan from the get-go!!!!
One of the greatest new wave bands on the planet...
THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! Folks- our beloved groups are on the way to finally save us GEN-X Generation!!!! Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, and Duran Duran have all released songs in the last month. Thank you gen x bands for not forgetting us!!!!
OMD still releasing great stuff too
What an awesome and pleasant surprise
Agreed!!!
Always loved them Always will remember them
For sure!
Oh yeah, hearing this was like a warm hug from an old friend.
Absolute truth!
Couldn't agree more! 🙌🏼
WoW! the 80's music was the best ever! Everyone, including me looks a bit older, but this took me back and I feel I'm in the 80's. They nailed it. I hope this song charts!
That guitar tone took instantly me back
Sadly it's not the original guitarist. The current guy is just mimicking him.
They kept their signature sound and it still rocks.❤️
Us Gen X rockers just won't quit. Some dreams go on forever. 😂 Gotta' love em'.
I am 59 and have tears in my eyes! What a surprise !
Damn, it is a hit. Great chorus and song.
This band will always be one of the most important bands in my lifetime. Thank you for keeping the sound and feeling alive . It brings me right back ! ❤
Killer track from the ORIGINAL 80s New Wave pioneers. Sounds simultaneously classic and new. That’s a hard trick to pull off! Gonna download the new album too.
No way a new Flock Of Seagulls song ! I'm so here for this it's like the 80s never ended ❤
I love that Mike keeps the dream alive.
Finally, a familiar sound!
"A Flock Of Seagulls" are coming to save us from utter boredom.
Always happy to listen to your work, guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of great bands out there, you just have to look.
Love that their sound still retains a strong element of what made them so special. Still works in 2024.
Flock of Seagulls are back baby!!!!!!!! Cheers from Australia.
Sounds phenomenal, cheers from America!!!
Yeah!! Cheers from Germany!

Wow after 30 yrs y’all still sound phenomenal
Welcome back Seagulls!!! what a great sound!
Absolutely AWESOME!
FOS still rocking!
Not only do I love this song but I'm also crazy about the entire album it came from.
Wow, I was 21 when they released "I ran so far away" back in 1982! I'm 63 now but I still like it and this new song, wow!
Same here. I was 18 and now I'm 60. I still have the original album on vinyl and play it often.
@@SRX2004 yo 50 jajaja lo mejor de lo mejor del mundo
@@SRX2004 Groovy! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m telling you this album is a banger! My favorite song is strangers and lovers
Excellent song, with much of their old school feel! Great drumming and beat too!
Totally Flock of Seagulls, yup. Right from the beginning it's like " oh wow ".
Some Dreams just came true for this Guy..!!!! Thank you Flock of Seagulls for this gift of music.. Love This..!! Some Dreams do stay alive..
wow! it's like they never left. Classic Seagulls guitar, synth, and voice. Can't wait for the new album!
Like they have never been away. Proper music
I was a teenager in the eighties and adored A Flock of Seagulls, this is brilliant!!!! can't wait for the new album they have many loyal fans. The band is very tight and these musicians have been playing with Mike for many years the song is fresh and the guitar riffs echo that of the brilliant Paul Reynolds.
Love this band, they are the first rave
I met Mike in the late 90’s at a show in Berkeley Ca. He was so gracious and kind, even though I was a crying mess!😅 I’ll never forget that day.
That's So awesome WOW!
@@NicholeCarterMusic It really was!
He and the rest of the guys are fantastic people. I’ve been fortunate enough to see them a lot and they put on a fantastic show.
I was at a small venue, standing in the back watching the warm up band. Didn’t realize it until the guy next to me asked how I liked the show. It was Mike and we had a pleasant conversation. Asked me what my favorite FOS song was, he played Telecommunication as the encore and gave me a big smile. He is gracious and kind.
@@ericpitt3876 That is such a great story, thanks for sharing!
Dayyum. Suddenly I feel 17 again!! Fantastic new release!!!
That guitar hook and keys are peak 80s nostalgia!
Surely this will rock the charts .... Flock of seagulls Back !!! Catchy number driving in the car with sound cranked right up !!!
❤out of nowhere comes this absolute dream of the past, gliding into 2024 with genius perfection❤
Classic Flock of Seagulls guitar hook !
The guitarist captured Pauls signature sound pretty good.
Que gozada volver a escucharlos siguen siendo geniales
I was at this gig in the video , Leeds , England 👍
So was my wife and I. Second row from the front. Ears were ringing for 5 days after, but what a night that was!!!!!

Wow. This sounds AMAZING!!!! Some dreams NEVER die ❤️❤❤
AFOS will ALWAYS be the best bands from the '80s to now! Mike Score never lost his touch! Song was amazing!
Wow… I love the flock of seagulls. They were MTV when MTV first started. They rocked it. This song really spoke to me. I’m glad they’re still out there even just one original member.
Then he added the Firebird in the visuals.
Yes! Bring my 80s back! ❤️🍻
😂😂😂 keep dreaming ! I want my too and pay good money ! Abraço de 🇵🇹🇵🇹
This band sticks to their original sound love it.
Brings me back to the 80's when I was in High School..
Just pop music but it warms the heart. The world needed this!
Now I know everything is going to be alright. I am typing this with tears in my eyes! Thank you!
It's dancing with tears in my eyes. Urtravox.

Yet another perfect song by flock of seagulls

Kick ass. I saw you on original tour, in a small bar in Illinois in 88 and again ... i forget. You were always great. Second record was so overlooked.

How is this song not on the charts. It’s so well done
Phenomenal song, phenomenal band....Fly Flock Fly!
them guitar riffs 🎸 .....

Too bad it's not the original guitarist, Paul Reynolds, though. Current guy is just imitating Reno's sound. Not the same to me.
Great Liverpool band back in the day , great sound in 2024 .
Old good A.F.O.S ,can't wait for new album
I’m 15 again, just stunning!
Song of the year for me 🎉
Still sounding as fresh as they did in the 80s... Brilliant track.
51 year old guy here. Hearing this just takes makes me feel like a kid again. This is how great modern music should be. I can't wait for this album to drop.
Oh Man!!! I’m back in my glory! 80s were the best! The Renaissance of the Woman!
A song and a band to take me back to the greatest time of all time,THE EIGHTIES 🎶
Still sounding great. Really enjoyed the first reunion video and surprises.
killer tune
Mega - Thank you - love eighties style !!! Ever
Mega , geilo , stark
It’s their sound timeless …. Thank you 🙏
I was lucky to be at the concert in Leeds when live scenes for this video were recorded. Some Dreams was played twice during the set presumably so enough live footage was recorded to use in the video. It was an excellent concert and Frank Maudsley also made a guest appearance later on in the show.
Music is eternal and we thank you for it friends ❤️
