      similar story (born 1970) in the early 80s i remember with the family being in some department store and i heard this title only faint out of the background easy listening "PA system" of the shopping center, and it caught me, i tried to filter out any other sound - for years did not know who it was but always greatly enjoyed the song and still do. Yet up to date i do not know what the lyrics actually mean (English is not my native language but there are so many other songs i fully understand, only here the lyrics give riddles) but never mind it's a beautiful title.

There's so much great musicianship here, Maggie's voice is perfect for this romantic ballad, and the visuals are a perfecr match (wow, that silky white dress!). The whole feels completely unforced, as soon as you hear it the song feels completely natural like a folk-song, even though it's actually not an easy one to play. I agree this kind of quality pop/rock music is sadly absent from the charts and radio waves these days.

    [Verse 1]
    The last that ever she saw him
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    He passed on, worried and warning
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
    Far away on the other side
    He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
    And she couldn't find how to push through
    [Verse 2]
    The trees that whisper in the evening
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
    Far away on the other side
    He was shot six times by a man on the run
    And she couldn't find how to push through
    [Chorus]
    I stay, I pray
    See you in Heaven, far away
    I stay, I pray
    See you in Heaven one day
    [Verse 3]
    Four A.M. in the morning
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    I watched your vision forming
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    Stars move slowly in the silvery night
    Far away on the other side
    Will you come to talk to me this night?
    But she couldn't find how to push through
    [Chorus]
    I stay, I pray
    See you in Heaven, far away
    I stay, I pray
    See you in Heaven one day
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Outro]
    Far away on the other side
    Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
    The night was heavy and the air was alive
    But she couldn't find how to push through
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    Carried away by a moonlight shadow
    Far away on the other side
    But she couldn't find how to push through

      you realise that 30 years ago people thought this particular track of Mike Oldfield was way to commercial and to heavily marketed. now I'm not comparing Oldfield to one direction or anything but truth be said, there's some really good music out there besides what you hear on the radio.
      your being 13, so not yet alive when this music was made is a strange statement, I wasn't alive when Carl Orff wrote carmina burana for instance but I'm glad I live in this day and age when music is just a mouseclick away, think about that :)

      its probable that music companies purposefully flood the market with shit to increase the value of their back catalogues so they can increase the value of company property and therefore the company
      coverage of the mundane lives of celebrities are sold for more than music, music id mostly a gateway for the famouse for fame to promote them to sell shit
      controversy = free advertising
      piss off a bunch of prudes and the song will be on the news
      its an ass, its a tit GET OVER IT
      go to a porn site or get a hooker and just get it over with you're making them stronger
      try the newgrounds audio portal or bandcamp or soundcloud or some shit
      non-commercial songs have to compete on their content instead of their hype
      the low quality oldies are forgotten because nobody bothers to look for them unless there was something noteworthy about them.
      over 9000 comments all reading "i hate my generation"
      "OLD-SHIT records inc" stock up 17%
      "be sure to ship the "Justin's Greatest sHITS" before we sell our back catalogue of musicians that lay cold in the dust and we dont have to pay we will get more money because of the sales increase from disenfranchised teens who think there UNIQUE for listening to oldies

    I was a kid, when I first heard this song in the radio... I got goosebumps and immediatelly fell in love with her voice... I'm 46 now, an still get goosebumps all over my body, when I listen to this song... This sweet voice, this guitar...

      Me too! Same model year. ;) I also got the same reaction listening till "Annies Song" by John Denver. Even though I couldn´t understand the lyrics as a kid. Both songs have something longing dreamy melancholic yet...light.

    I can't stop listening to her angelic voice. God bless her and her family. Proud to be a fellow Welsh lady. Classy lady so elegant and stunningly talented. .
