don't know if you were there for the 80s or not but yes you hit the nail on the head. I know shit wasn't perfect back then either. I remember the bomb drills and all that back in the early 80s at school. Now its active shooter drills. Which to me is a lot scarier than bomb drills. The things happening today are things they made horror movies about in the 80s
@@Daisy-sc6tm I remember for sure! I was born in '75, so the 80s were my "coming of age" years. You're right--it's almost like a dystopian world we're in now, that's no lie.
I lived that life and lost a great love and rekindled an old love and raised a family and married off daughters and now am old but will never forget my first love. See you soon... ❤
June/14/1986, I was in the operating room having a c-section, this song was playing in the background. i had a daughter who passed a day and a half later. This song will always have a special place in my heart.. 37 years later still listening to it with so much love in my heart.
I met him in 1977, knew I loved him in the 80's, reconnected in 1997 as friends.....lost our spouses 2021. Became US in 2022, moving in together, making my wildest dreams come TRUE 2023 ❤❤❤❤❤
Hat's off to the "MOODY BLUES" for standing out as a band that has it's own signature sound that will never be duplicated in this or any other era...👏👏👏
Someone once asked me... When is the last time I cried? I said when Barry Sanders retired... That's my asnswer & I'm sticking with it... Now I notice, today's music doesn't have this much soul
@@catonthemoon2084 You took the words right out of my mouth...I absolutely LOVE "BOSTON" and just like the Moody Blues this AWESOME band also has it's own unique sound... It's just a DAMN SHAME they aren't in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME YET...The RRHOF is a complete SHAM...
RIP indeed!! I believe he was one of the first to use high tech moog synthesizer! I believe it is known as the Mellotron. And boy did he know how to play it!
Ever since 1964 I’ve been a follower of the Moody Blues and now I’m 76, I still think of them as one of the best and inspirational group of musicians in the World
@@katiebea9258 Not too happy here since I know what the song is really about. Say Wilde 3 and Joyce Wilde. It's about Justin Hayward having an affair with Joyce Wilde(married woman). She was married to Marty Wilde(of Wilde 3). Justin said Nights In White Satin was about someone before he married Anne Marie Guiron. That person is Joyce Wilde.
@johnpolitis7929 before you performed the edit, you had posted enough I did a dive, and came to the conclusion you posted CLEARLY in the edit. Good elaboration, and I agree with you on his lack of morals and tasteless music to rub it in the cucked guy's face.

My mother got me hooked on The Moody Blues when I was a kid. I was born in 1983 and she passed in 2016. My mother was and will always be remembered as an awesome person.
Dude, I feel ya. I was born in 1981 and my mom got me into this band as well. Specifically this song on repeat. I think of her every time I hear it. She passed away around the same time as well. We have "wild" similarities :)
@Autocon609 My son was born in 1983 as well. He died in 2015. He was my only child. He loved music so much. Someone asked him, "where did you get your great love for music?" His response was, "before I was born, my mom was singing, and dancing the whole time she was pregnant with me. How could I not love music?" I miss him so much. Even more so when I'm listening to music. I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom. 😥
@@helaynavictoriazelpaulska2690 So sorry to hear about the loss of a child. I lost a nephew to suicide 2 years ago and he was my sisters only child. All we can do is remember them and share stories or when they were with us. Music holds a very special place in our lives.
My mom, born 1956,would love so these comments. Only because you listened to her music. Not the difference of opinion or anything else. Thank you everyone, who loves the Moody Blues and keeping this alive. For everyone who does, that's my mom to me. I miss her desperately. She was my best friend. She'd appreciate all of this.
No, you are not. My parents named me after Justin Hayward. No complaints from me there when I listen his vocal performances or the songs he primarily composed.
I met my first wife when we were both teenagers, fell in love married and had two kids, we were very happy and life was good, until after 25 years she was diagnosed with liver cancer and passed away in 2001, I stayed alone until I met my second wife and we were together for 12 years and married for 6 until she too was taken ill with lung cancer and died in January 2017. I am 63 now and too old to try again. These two ladies helped me to have wonderful memories of my past full of love fun and happiness Gods gift to me if only for a little while, all of the Moody's songs have meaning for me and maybe a hope for the future, Thanks Moody's.
I was going to type 'I'm so sorry for your loss' but you've heard that too many times I suspect. I'm 64 and have had breast cancer. Husband is stage 5 kidney with dialysis.We've been together 40 years. We might have long on the earth but he gave me the best years of my life. He said it gave him the best also. What else could anyone want?
I heard this on the radio and the tube is wonderfully upbeat. Then I watched the video, actually listened to the lyrics and it moved me to tears. My gosh that story is a sad one, albeit one that we all think about. That's what makes it more poignant, that everyone can relate to a 'what if' scenario
I'm 45 now but my first love when I was 19 years old sent this to me this morning. I've been smiling with tears in my eyes all day. It's unbelievable what certain songs can do the human psyche.
Hugs to you, music can take a person anywhere, but yes the memories of certain songs lay heavy in your heart, as this song does as you read above I was in Viet Nam my wife to be killed herself she thought I was killed in Nam.
This song is the epitome of a nostalgia melancholy punch to the gut….also known as “butterflies” such great memories, great times, great moment and the video as well
I remember first hearing this song when I was 7. It made me feel nostalgic for something I had yet to experience. Now twenty aught years on, after “the one that got away”, this song still has a very special place in my heart
I enjoy the lesson at the end of the video proving that nostalgia is a trap. She risked her marriage and happy home for the sake of nostalgia as her first love moved on without stopping.
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 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 In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams
This song came out April 1986 that summer was one i wont ever forget. Went to Italy with my folks on a Perillo Tour. The group of people who also vacationed on the tour was very small. There was a Girl slightly older than me with her Mom. I fell for her and by mid vacation we were holding hands. This song brings me back to that time. We initially kept in contact but we lost touch.
I ran a concert trucking company in the early 90's. We trucked a summer tour with both the Moodies and Chicago, while many bands have ego issues, when the discussion began about who was the headliner and who was the opening act, the bands solver the problem by trading the headline and opening act position every other night. Both bands are class acts.
When I first saw this video, I was 19 years old and my life was practically in shambles. My mother was on her death bed. She passed way a few moths later in September 1987. My father had suffered mild stroke. He pretty much recovered but he passed on in 1995. I had flunked out of college and felt that I was headed toward a life of disaster. However, it was something about his video that awakened something in me and I was able to take charge of my life. I eventually went back to school graduated. Went on to graduate school , earned a Ph.D. and became a college professor. I am 52 years old and a tenured full professor with numerous publications and a very distinguished career. God definitely intervened. Just goes to show , you never know how life can or will turn out!
I lost my high-school sweetheart to an aneurysm before we were to be married. I eventually got married and have 2 kids, but I never got over losing her. Now I'm dying, and I'm not scared whatsoever because I know I'm finally going to be with her again. This song was before my time, but it always makes me think of her. I love you Amy Leigh Elrod, and I'm on my way baby,see you soon.
I was the bass player and lead singer in a band that covered this song. It was one of my favorite songs to perform. It was a staple for us and our followers. I think we would have been boo'd off the stage if we didn't play it. It never gets old.
The first Moody Blues song with that effect and style on the bass, I was spellbound the first time I heard it. One of the great bass players. I'm sure you did it justice in your cover.
When I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes and memories. Then video is really a replay of my life of being a lead singer in a band and falling in love with the bass player Bennie....We had lost touch for 6 years and saw each other again. I had married and had kids. Bennie had not married but he was still chasing his music dreams. We kept in touch and my marriage didn't work out. We saw each other again years later and got married. We enjoyed 13 wonderful years together only to be parted by his death. Rest In Heaven Bennie...You are still in my wildest dreams ❤️
Im 40 and my parents have been divorced as long as I can remember. I caught my mother listening to this song once in the early 2000s. Now I know why. 😢
I instinctively hate later Moody Blues work, because so much of it is terrible. Not this. This is really good. You have to be careful with Sur la Mer and Keys of the Kingdom, because there's not a lot of good content in this period. But what you do find is really good. The sound of this song definitely makes you think of Sur la Mer, but it has its own value.
The Moody Blues could not be in a group with other bands. They are truly unique. Justin takes me to another world. It's hard to believe that he was only 19. Genius
I danced with my beloved dog in my arms, to this wonderful song before she passed in 2015....I wonder where she is after all these years....I love you boo
I miss the girl I lost contact with 30+ years ago, I feel so stupid and so bad about it, I'd love to somehow find her again but where do I start without a name :(
I did as well… didn’t end so good… but still, added a lot more depth to a song, and band that I carried with me since ‘86… I’m 52 now, a little wiser, and little sadder, and a little better than before
RIP Denny Laine. Ever since I grew up in the 80's in the GDR this has always been one of my favourite songs. Five years ago it turned into an everlasting memory when my husband and me went on a holiday trip from NYC to Niagara Falls. We switched on the radio and I felt pure magic.
Came here on Father's Day to listen to this song again. This song makes me think of dad instantly. He passed away in 1994 and hearing this song makes me feel like he's a little less far away 💖
@@indieworldcrystallized7155 was it your first without your dad? Whether the first or one of many, it's a tough day when you've lost a parent. This comment I posted this time last year I was really in my feels about my dad. I was missing him a lot and asking him to help me with my mom because I was starting to worry about her. I listened to this song for comfort and to feel closer to him. I had no idea how much worse things were going to get that day. Had to bring my mom to the emergency room on Father's Day because she was short of breath. Long story short she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer and passed 3 months later. Life is short and things change so quickly. This father's day I was mourning my dad as usual, but now entering the anniversary territory of everything that happened with my mom. Still in my 30s and have neither parent around or even a sibling. Guess I'll be surfing CZcams looking for music that helps remind me of happier days with the people who brought me into this world as I continue on without them.
I’m 73 and every time I hear this song my thoughts turn to my teen yrs and my 1st love. Re-connected in ‘74 for a short time. She was married and I was divorced but the Sparks were still there.
With you Garbonzo... though with the way the Hall of Fame is always trying to keep up with the rest of us, i am not sure how much distinction the award still holds. To us, the Moody Blues have always been there. Maybe the real congratulations should go to the Hall of Fame officials for recognizing the obvious? ;)
There's just something about this song that squeezes my heart until it hurts, taking my breath away. Reminders of a love lost to the sands of time... 🥺😭
I’m so with you, Etienne. Mine married a mutual friend, a good man and a great guy, so I could rest easy on that score. Still, no one else has ever come close to her, and after 38 years, I guess no one ever will. Thank you for a beautiful tip of the heart.
This song has a lot of meaning for me. I wonder if a girl I once knew ever thinks of me as I think of her. She'd be old and wrinkled now like me, but I always think of her as she was, beautiful and beguiling.
Believe it....45 years have passed...he's a Grandpa....first marriage proposal,.... Sigh, we're both photographers...and...I follow and comment on his daughter's paintings....remember, and hold those moments close...💗.......
I still think of my first love and high school girlfriend whenever I hear this song. It's strange, we're friends on Facebook now, 58 years later. I am happily married and in love with my wife, but still....I wonder...
@@pokeypoet I am in the same boat Barry and understand exactly what you mean. Her and I have chatted now and then and a piece of my heart belongs to BK. I am now 63 and her 62 but when we were 16 and 17 what a ride!! Love ya BK
Watching this video yet again in the middle of the night, feeling sad for love lost in youth so many years ago. Thank you Moody Blues for evoking both joy and sorrow with this amazing song.
I know how you guys feel and I feel it too reminiscing as a child of the 70s and 80s but life is what you make it and the best time can be NOW if you let it. All the best to you.❤
Please take the Seinfeld bass at 3:30 away from me, lol. Otherwise, not too many complaints. It’s cheesy but beautiful, and if it inspired Velouria by the Pixies, which I have no proof of but seems plausible, then I owe it my eternal gratitude.
I jammed to this as a little girl, and listened to it over and over to and from the NICU to see my premature son-a whopping hour and a half trip! Because that little girl just had a beautiful bouncing baby boy! 😊❤ When he came out, everybody gasped at the sight of him, someone called out, "BEAUTIFUL BABY!" 😁 He turned 21 on July 30th. So this song NOW makes me cry in joy.
My x loved this. Ya we are Divorced now 45 years ago today he got hurt on a motorcycle and was crippled for life. I am so sorry for what happened. Please remember the good old days ❤
I'm 69 years old.... 36 years ago I sang along in tenor, struggling to, but achieving the high notes...... now I sing an octave below, and getting every note damn right. And the song means as much to me now as it did 36 years ago. TY, Moody Blues.
This song is about how life passes us all so quickly. At the moment we don’t realize how those past times would be so appreciated later in life. Life seems to be only memories of what has past. Why is it that the past always seems better than the present? Just another mystery in life that no answer can be found. Dream on, keep those memories close.
Who knew 33 years ago how I'd feel today about listening to this song. Like reliving the past in my mind. Makes me laugh and smile and teary all same time. Wow!
I'm playing this song once again,but this time to honor the memory of Denny Laine. Guitarist of Moody Blues and former part of Wings. Rest in peace Denny 🕊️
This song & Jefferson Starship's "Sara" always puts me in tears. They are like looking at a photo of a lost loved one or that special relationship you failed to grow. 😢
I know if Jefferson Airplane and Starship but never knew Jefferson Starship... today I learnt something new but wasn't Sarah performed by Starship and not Jefferson Starship? Also wasn't it Sara and not Sarah?
Today, March 2, 2023, this song with these visuals hit me in my heart all over again. Thank you, Moody Blues. Fond memories wrought with unintended heart ache. Never stopped thinking .........
Don't ever count the "old guys" out. I was a teen when this song hit. Those guys proved they had staying power. 😁👍 You know you're a great band when you transcend generations.
Oooohhhhh, I'm adding an additional comment, 8 months after my first one. The late great Art Bell, may he Rest In Peace....used this song as a bumper. If Art used your song as a bumper, you were suddenly gonna get a lot more royalties. This song was that good, and deserving of that honor.
The first time I heard this song I was immediately transported back to my days in high school and my first love, 15 years earlier. I still think about him every time I hear the song.
This song is special to me. I think of my late first wife when I hear this song. She was my first love. We were married for 10 years. She died after a long illness when she was only 30 years old. I've remarried since then but you never forget someone you love...
1975. I was a shy 15 year old who had just scored his first date. After I nervously rang the doorbell, she opened the door. She was wearing this beautiful red dress and looked beyond stunning! Almost half a century later, I still think about her, even though I’m happily married to my life partner. The heart never forgets… Rest in Peace, Angie…
they most certainly were, Steve...and their music takes us back to the good ol' days when R and R was brought to us by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and many, many more..Thank goodness!
Been playing this song for decades and thought of my first love in HS over and over and truly wondered about her. Got the chance just recently to meet and talk with her after more than 45 years. It was amazing and so like the song and video. Thank you Moody Blues for the emotion behind the lyrics and the great music over the years in capturing what we humans feel in our hearts.
There is something timeless about this song. I turned 32 the year it was released, and had already been married for eleven years, but something about it makes me feel that I was much younger when it came out. This year will be the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation, and this is taking me back that far. I guess I'm feeling old. I am still with that great guy I married so long ago - we'll get through this stage of our lives together, and with the soundtrack of our life.
Hi Texas 2Step , I had my 40 year reunion last year, Canned due to Covid , Maybe we will have 41st , I have no contact with anyone I went to school with however I wish them well. Good luck to u & Husband
This is the background music for wondering what became of that one person whom you thought would align the world perfectly whenever you were together. It's that person who would accept you as you are, without question or prerequisite, no need to explain yourself, because all would be complete.
Once upon a time...the 80s actually happened, but I swear it seems like a dream, it's so far removed from the world we know today.
Yes….❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺
America is no longer

😂 #facts
And to think this was many years after their initial success. Still 🔥
Yes David so true I first heard of the Moody's way back in 1968, just before I went to Viet Nam, yes I am an old vet age 72 now. Love this song.
And beautiful girls to reminisce about .
'Knights in White Satin' in my list of 10 best songs of all time...to date, lol.
I lived that life and lost a great love and rekindled an old love and raised a family and married off daughters and now am old but will never forget my first love.
See you soon... ❤
You will always remember your first love ,it lives in your heart forever and no matter how hard you try to forget it never goes away ! ❤

That is just devastating. I’m sorry to hear this. I hope you found solace.

That breaks my heart to hear that ,but at least it's a timeless classic to always remember her.💔
Just read this now, very sorry for your loss!!
Your daughter is in my prayers before I go to sleep, God Bless her Soul
The fact that the Moody Blues, a 60's band made this quintessential 80s pop masterpiece is a true testament to how great and versatile this band was.
Always and Forever
Justin Hayward had the songwriting touch and they knew how to layer these songs beautifully with instrumentation and those vocal harmonies.
Truly
Yeah but I still enjoy there 60s sounds
Well said 😊
Harry here, 71. Wildest dreams,....greatest song. We all have a wildest dream.
James here at 69.
Indeed. I wish I could see her again. ❤

i’m doing both, right now 🖤
I heard this on the radio and the tube is wonderfully upbeat. Then I watched the video, actually listened to the lyrics and it moved me to tears. My gosh that story is a sad one, albeit one that we all think about. That's what makes it more poignant, that everyone can relate to a 'what if' scenario
That is SO,,,, well said and true
This song tears at my heart because I have been there and still think about it 42 years later
Once upon a time, and never again, I’m afraid, will there ever be musicians and music as great as this.
rest in peace Abbacchio, you'll always be a *G A N G S T A R*

I'm 45 now but my first love when I was 19 years old sent this to me this morning. I've been smiling with tears in my eyes all day. It's unbelievable what certain songs can do the human psyche.
👍🏼. They tap into our spiritual origin, which is as old as creation.
How beautiful
I totally understand.
Hugs to you, music can take a person anywhere, but yes the memories of certain songs lay heavy in your heart, as this song does as you read above I was in Viet Nam my wife to be killed herself she thought I was killed in Nam.
@@ratter531 Awful. Just awful. I'm sorry.
This song hits so differently at 53 vs when it came out and I heard it as a 15 year old.
💯 Although I got you by one year, same.
It sure does. Sigh...
No doubt!
So true
This song is the epitome of a nostalgia melancholy punch to the gut….also known as “butterflies” such great memories, great times, great moment and the video as well
Nostalgia can be a curse.
I remember first hearing this song when I was 7. It made me feel nostalgic for something I had yet to experience. Now twenty aught years on, after “the one that got away”, this song still has a very special place in my heart
I almost cant bear to hear this song for that reason, sometimes the nostalgia is too overwhelming 😢
@@opa-age yeah, it can be a curse. I have a head full of regrets that I have failed to escape from.
I enjoy the lesson at the end of the video proving that nostalgia is a trap. She risked her marriage and happy home for the sake of nostalgia as her first love moved on without stopping.
I think my computer is broken. It rewinds whenever I play a song by this band.
Well did you hear a piano

I’m not a big “cryer”, but this song just makes me weep uncontrollably every one of the hundreds of times I’ve heard it.
Tears me open every single time too amigo
Same.
It makes me think of someone......
You sir are only human.
Right there with 'ya...
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
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
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
This song came out April 1986 that summer was one i wont ever forget. Went to Italy with my folks on a Perillo Tour. The group of people who also vacationed on the tour was very small. There was a Girl slightly older than me with her Mom. I fell for her and by mid vacation we were holding hands. This song brings me back to that time. We initially kept in contact but we lost touch.
We can help you find her! Give us some details. Names? Exact dates? Do you remember what city she lived in?
lol i dont think so
@@johnnyboyssiteYou could try posting this on the social media.
@@musicman201047nahhh im happily married and dont want trouble !
if ur still single go look for her
I ran a concert trucking company in the early 90's. We trucked a summer tour with both the Moodies and Chicago, while many bands have ego issues, when the discussion began about who was the headliner and who was the opening act, the bands solver the problem by trading the headline and opening act position every other night. Both bands are class acts.
Wow! What an experience you had.....thanks for sharing🥰
When I first saw this video, I was 19 years old and my life was practically in shambles. My mother was on her death bed. She passed way a few moths later in September 1987. My father had suffered mild stroke. He pretty much recovered but he passed on in 1995. I had flunked out of college and felt that I was headed toward a life of disaster. However, it was something about his video that awakened something in me and I was able to take charge of my life. I eventually went back to school graduated. Went on to graduate school , earned a Ph.D. and became a college professor. I am 52 years old and a tenured full professor with numerous publications and a very distinguished career. God definitely intervened. Just goes to show , you never know how life can or will turn out!
Thank you!
Wow, what a cool story! Rock on! From a professor and Moodies fan since the 1960s, who earned his Ph.D. at age 58 and is still teaching.
that's really cool, old man. your ma and pa would be proud!
Thank you. I am sure they both are looking down from above smiling.
Thank you Charles!

I lost my high-school sweetheart to an aneurysm before we were to be married. I eventually got married and have 2 kids, but I never got over losing her. Now I'm dying, and I'm not scared whatsoever because I know I'm finally going to be with her again. This song was before my time, but it always makes me think of her. I love you Amy Leigh Elrod, and I'm on my way baby,see you soon.

I was the bass player and lead singer in a band that covered this song. It was one of my favorite songs to perform. It was a staple for us and our followers. I think we would have been boo'd off the stage if we didn't play it. It never gets old.
Wow that's cool u got it right 👍
Thank you for help keeping it alive.
The first Moody Blues song with that effect and style on the bass, I was spellbound the first time I heard it. One of the great bass players. I'm sure you did it justice in your cover.
Keep it going Bro 🎉 what a beautiful upper as I always say

I love the video because it shows the band’s past when they were part of the British Invasion in the 60’s
I just LOVE this song - heard it randomly playing last week in Walgreens and can’t stop playing it again here on CZcams.
Yup. I get it.
Araki have a godly taste in music.
Damn...
Oh yes
When I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes and memories. Then video is really a replay of my life of being a lead singer in a band and falling in love with the bass player Bennie....We had lost touch for 6 years and saw each other again. I had married and had kids. Bennie had not married but he was still chasing his music dreams. We kept in touch and my marriage didn't work out. We saw each other again years later and got married. We enjoyed 13 wonderful years together only to be parted by his death.
Rest In Heaven Bennie...You are still in my wildest dreams ❤️
Such a lovely story. This song reminds me of my late wife, too.
Just brings back so many memories
80 we’re the best
Back in the day when musicians were actually artists. My younger days.
Why can't life be as great as a 1980s music video?
Best comment and thought ever!
stillerzgal I agree! Life can be just as great though, in your "wildest dreams" ;)
awesome idea, i want to live there. this song is so great!
Minus MJ's Thriller.
If only....
Im 40 and my parents have been divorced as long as I can remember. I caught my mother listening to this song once in the early 2000s.
Now I know why. 😢
This song just has a certain way about it.
It hits every emotion.
Justin Hayward and The Moody Blues have a way of doing that Bryan, beautiful lyrics sung with soul and meaning.
Amasing. What pointless rubbish people can produce, while they watch their civilisation be ruined
I instinctively hate later Moody Blues work, because so much of it is terrible. Not this. This is really good. You have to be careful with Sur la Mer and Keys of the Kingdom, because there's not a lot of good content in this period. But what you do find is really good. The sound of this song definitely makes you think of Sur la Mer, but it has its own value.
We "old" people had the BEST music back then
Its simply awesome.
Once upon a time, there was great music like this.
Thank God for the Moody Blues.

Moody Blues are timeless! Their music is still being played 50 years later!
We got back together after 27 years apart. This song used to break my heart + now it is my joy. So grateful.
This song has such a 70s vibe Man i miss the 70s
@@theodoreritola7641 well, it IS Moody Blues ... they were big in the 70s.

I miss the girl I lost contact with 30+ years ago, I feel so stupid and so bad about it, I'd love to somehow find her again but where do I start without a name :(
I did as well… didn’t end so good… but still, added a lot more depth to a song, and band that I carried with me since ‘86… I’m 52 now, a little wiser, and little sadder, and a little better than before
The HARMONY in this song is so beautiful. This, along with The Voice are my very FAVORITE tunes by the Moody Blues!
RIP Denny Laine. Ever since I grew up in the 80's in the GDR this has always been one of my favourite songs. Five years ago it turned into an everlasting memory when my husband and me went on a holiday trip from NYC to Niagara Falls. We switched on the radio and I felt pure magic.
love Moody Blues. also reminds me of my teen years ❤. Rip Denny. 🙏
Came here on Father's Day to listen to this song again. This song makes me think of dad instantly. He passed away in 1994 and hearing this song makes me feel like he's a little less far away 💖
Hi Kristen,hope you’re okay ?
This is me right now Father's day 2023
@@indieworldcrystallized7155 was it your first without your dad? Whether the first or one of many, it's a tough day when you've lost a parent.
This comment I posted this time last year I was really in my feels about my dad. I was missing him a lot and asking him to help me with my mom because I was starting to worry about her. I listened to this song for comfort and to feel closer to him. I had no idea how much worse things were going to get that day. Had to bring my mom to the emergency room on Father's Day because she was short of breath. Long story short she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer and passed 3 months later. Life is short and things change so quickly. This father's day I was mourning my dad as usual, but now entering the anniversary territory of everything that happened with my mom. Still in my 30s and have neither parent around or even a sibling. Guess I'll be surfing CZcams looking for music that helps remind me of happier days with the people who brought me into this world as I continue on without them.
I’m 73 and every time I hear this song my thoughts turn to my teen yrs and my 1st love. Re-connected in ‘74 for a short time. She was married and I was divorced but the Sparks were still there.
That’s beautiful

Doctor Garbonzo and on their first year of eligibility!
OH HELL YEAH. SHOULDVE BEEN SOONER
Steve Applegate yes, like about 1990 when they should’ve been in, oh well better late than never!
moody blues in my opinion is really under rated. i think they are as great as pink floyd really
With you Garbonzo... though with the way the Hall of Fame is always trying to keep up with the rest of us, i am not sure how much distinction the award still holds. To us, the Moody Blues have always been there. Maybe the real congratulations should go to the Hall of Fame officials for recognizing the obvious? ;)
There's just something about this song that squeezes my heart until it hurts, taking my breath away. Reminders of a love lost to the sands of time... 🥺😭
I’m so with you, Etienne. Mine married a mutual friend, a good man and a great guy, so I could rest easy on that score. Still, no one else has ever come close to her, and after 38 years, I guess no one ever will.
Thank you for a beautiful tip of the heart.

This song has a lot of meaning for me. I wonder if a girl I once knew ever thinks of me as I think of her. She'd be old and wrinkled now like me, but I always think of her as she was, beautiful and beguiling.
I think most of us have somebody from our past of whom we ask that question, my friend. I know I certainly do.

This song and Don't You Forget About Me give me this sinking feeling of just wanting to go back to a better time and knowing I can't.
I can't type "preach" large enough to agree with you!
Definitely..the best of days...
I know how you guys feel and I feel it too reminiscing as a child of the 70s and 80s but life is what you make it and the best time can be NOW if you let it. All the best to you.❤
Yeah you might recall your childhood home but someone else lives there now and they have made renovations besides the town has even changed.

Please take the Seinfeld bass at 3:30 away from me, lol. Otherwise, not too many complaints. It’s cheesy but beautiful, and if it inspired Velouria by the Pixies, which I have no proof of but seems plausible, then I owe it my eternal gratitude.
@@joesephsmith7991 Seen them 3x in concert. 1st time 1973. Wasn't paying $5 a gallon then
I jammed to this as a little girl, and listened to it over and over to and from the NICU to see my premature son-a whopping hour and a half trip! Because that little girl just had a beautiful bouncing baby boy! 😊❤ When he came out, everybody gasped at the sight of him, someone called out, "BEAUTIFUL BABY!" 😁 He turned 21 on July 30th. So this song NOW makes me cry in joy.

It reminds me of the only man I ever truly loved...
I'm 69 years old.... 36 years ago I sang along in tenor, struggling to, but achieving the high notes...... now I sing an octave below, and getting every note damn right. And the song means as much to me now as it did 36 years ago. TY, Moody Blues.
When life gets too heavy i come here and listen to this happy song of a better time from the 80s. Peace ✌

Rest in PEACE Moody Blues drummer Graeme Edge dies aged 80 after legendary 50 year rock career!
This song is about how life passes us all so quickly. At the moment we don’t realize how those past times would be so appreciated later in life. Life seems to be only memories of what has past. Why is it that the past always seems better than the present? Just another mystery in life that no answer can be found. Dream on, keep those memories close.
I was 10 years old when this song hit MTV. I remember thinking how good this brand new band was 🤣
Who knew 33 years ago how I'd feel today about listening to this song. Like reliving the past in my mind. Makes me laugh and smile and teary all same time. Wow!
I am 57 this year. And the song helps me remember the years before when everything was new and pure.
OUR MUSIC, from yesteryear was so much better than today's STUFF
This is the national anthem of "lost" loves ...
I'm playing this song once again,but this time to honor the memory of Denny Laine. Guitarist of Moody Blues and former part of Wings. Rest in peace Denny 🕊️
This song & Jefferson Starship's "Sara" always puts me in tears. They are like looking at a photo of a lost loved one or that special relationship you failed to grow. 😢

Oooohhhhh, I'm adding an additional comment, 8 months after my first one.
The late great Art Bell, may he Rest In Peace....used this song as a bumper. If Art used your song as a bumper, you were suddenly gonna get a lot more royalties. This song was that good, and deserving of that honor.

Been playing this song for decades and thought of my first love in HS over and over and truly wondered about her. Got the chance just recently to meet and talk with her after more than 45 years. It was amazing and so like the song and video. Thank you Moody Blues for the emotion behind the lyrics and the great music over the years in capturing what we humans feel in our hearts.
In 1992 I won tickets 🎟 to The Moody Blues and they are great to see live 😊
Yes they are
Music I keep returning to that was all about Love, Fun and a Happier Time.
There is something timeless about this song. I turned 32 the year it was released, and had already been married for eleven years, but something about it makes me feel that I was much younger when it came out. This year will be the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation, and this is taking me back that far. I guess I'm feeling old. I am still with that great guy I married so long ago - we'll get through this stage of our lives together, and with the soundtrack of our life.

This is the background music for wondering what became of that one person whom you thought would align the world perfectly whenever you were together. It's that person who would accept you as you are, without question or prerequisite, no need to explain yourself, because all would be complete.
