It's got nothing to do with Elton John. It's a song about memory and lost love. It's Justin Hayward, the blond lead singer of the Moody Blues, thinking about a young woman he loved in the 60s. The video goes back and forth through time. And the woman is now married with a family and she thinks of him when the contemporary Moody Blues do a concert in her town. But these memories can't be turned into a new love. It's lost in the past.
She's not asking if the song is ABOUT Elton John, she was asking the chat if that was a cameo from Elton John. Just like most people won't recognize Steven Spielberg had an uncredited cameo as an office worker in The Blues Brothers. Is Spielberg memorable in it, no. Is the movie about Spielberg, no. He's just a guy at the end of the quest. Heck, most people reading this will end up Googling it to see if what I'm saying is real or not. Also, she asks about the eye makeup. The song isn't about eye makeup either. She DOES comment on how the woman gets caught up in a storm of people. Which IS relatable to the plot of the song. Does she go into a music history expose on how the black and white film characters represent the band, etc.? No. She did appreciate and enjoy the song. She did engage with her live audience, which is part of her content. At least we can all imagine you shouting over her with the "right" answer, and the sigh a percentage gave in disgust. Good day Sir!
As another clarified, she wasn't saying is was about Elton. But anyway, thanks for the simple explanation of the video. I love these videos and songs and I can't understand why some people need these explanations, it baffles me that people can't understand these things. Great summation, I hope it helps those that are lost in thoughts of eyeliner and elton.
@@mishmashmedleyYes, In too many of these reactions people get lost in the irrelevant video and lose the lyrics. In this one they can't seem to figure out what's happening in the video, where it directly tracks the lyrical meaning.
You have to see the follow-up video "I Know You're Out There Somewhere". Both of these videos got extensive play on MTV. The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time.
This song always makes me smile! My sister had this video recorded (VHS - back in the day), and I watched it constantly. The nostalgic feel of the song, story & visuals was so well done. The Moody Blues had such a way of tapping into your emotions with their songs! Nights In White Satin (actually the whole Days Of Future Passed album does this), The Story In Your Eyes, Melancholy Man, Candle Of Life, Gypsy...I could go on. They are a group that was aptly named because they do affect your mood, in such wonderful ways!
This was my late husband's 2nd favorite band (the Doors was number one). He knew every song and sang along with them. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams in 1985 recalls On the Threshold of a Dream in 1969. The album jacket that 'Elton' was handling was In Search of the Lost Chord from 1968. Loved seeing you enjoy the Moodies.
I saw them in concert at this time (1985), great show. This song has a squeal, I Know You're Outthere Some Where. The black and white shots are the past (1964 -69). Then for your Outer limits/Twilight feel, try The Otherside Of Life. Not Elton but her future husband as a hippie. I thought you did Nights In White Satin, same guys.
@maggiereneemusic - have you heard/watch the Moody Blues - I Know You're Out There Somewhere. It feels like a sequel to Your Wildest Dreams as the music video continues the story in video format
Amazed that practically all the reactors I've seen - including this one - just absolutely can't figure out what's going on here. The woman and the lead singer had a relationship until their paths diverged. He "followed the music". She eventually married and had a family. Years later, he still thinks about her, wondering if she still thinks about him. She does. The black and white sections are the past. The color sections are the present. She sees a poster for his band and attends. Their eyes meet. She tries to see him backstage, but once again the music - in this case band members and crew - usher him away. The music is upbeat, the meaning is melancholy. Lost love. What if.
@@doommonger7784 even if they don't take in the lyrics, the visuals are easy to figure out what is going on in the video and what the story was. I had no problem realizing it the first time I ever saw the video. Like you, I TOO am surprised at how many reactors seem to be totally unaware of the story.
my first album purchase was The Moody Blues, On The Threshold of a Dream., have seen them a few times. As a drummer, I cried when I was seeing Graham Edges, inability to play. when we saw them on their "Days of Futures Past, Live tour in 2017. He passed, so sad, in November of 2021,
When I wanted to get a young lady in the mood, well, then of course I put on the Moody Blues. Lush sound, intelligent lyrics. I noticed that in the video, he's not really struggling that hard to get to her.
Other suggestions I have for The Moody Blues are: "Ride My See-Saw", "Tuesday Afternoon" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere". Of course, like mentioned below, "Nights in White Satin" is one of their biggest hits.
Not Elton, just the Elton John 60s look. In the next scene where she's a mom with kids running around you see her turn and look at her husband sitting in the chair reading. It's the same man, just older.
Not Elton lol And he didn't start sporting that hairstyle until the 2000s. He was still embracing his natural, balding look until probably the 80s. That's really just a standard hippie look from the time.
Your first crush. You know who they are. Do they remember you? Do they feel the same way you did? This always reminds me of mine. She knows who she is. I wish we could talk like we talked then.
I wonder if people get the meaning of this song/video. What does it mean when the video goes from color to B&W then back to color? (Hint: time shift! ...nostalgic look back into history.) The video is telling the story of 2 young people in love, who drifted apart because the guy in the band became successful, and walked away from his girlfriend. The older blonde guy and the young blonde guy are the same guy, just decades apart. The young girl kissing the blonde guy and the older woman alone in her room or with a boring husband and a bunch of kids are the same person. But she sees him on TV during a performance and starts remembering what she lost. Funnily enough, he starts thinking about her at the same time. She grabs his record and runs out intending to go to him at his performance. It doesn't end well. I've never thought this was a fun upbeat song, even though it's one of my favorite Moody Blues songs. "...when the music plays ...when the words are touched with sorrow ...when the music plays ...I hear the sound I had to follow..." "...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."
MIght want to check out the "sequel" to this, called "I know you're out there somewhere". Do official version. These guys, and Pink Floyd,,,timeless,,,you've heard of them right? Check out "Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb", final appearance. And "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
Wow, I remember this being a decently big hit back in the day, but I didn't know it was the Moody Blues...I didn't know who they were until at least the 90s.
I wouldn't classify this as cheerful. It's more of an ode to a lost love, and the never ending quest to understand why it went wrong. Try out "I Just Don't Care" and "Slings And Arrows", both from the same album.
Those are “granny glasses” popular in mid-late 60s. In mid 60s we wore tons of eye makeup - video is a bit exaggerated. No it isn’t Elton John. The shift from color to black and white to color denoted past to future. B/w is in sixties etc - color was present day.
No the makeup on her in the '60s was NOT exaggerated at all. Look at photos of Twiggy or Jean Shrimpton from the '60s and you will see makeup exactly like that. I was a teenager and in my early 20s in the '60s and a LOT of us girls did our makeup like she has in this video. It was the "mod" "London look" British Look that was popular in the UK, in the U.S., Europe.
You're not catching the meaning of the video. The video depicts a woman who wistfully remembers her relationship with Justin Hayward from years ago. It shows flashbacks of her and Justin, along with the other band members (in B&W), eventually showing her with her family in present times (but still remembering her past with Justin). She eventually goes to a present day performance of the Moody Blues, and sneaks backstage, hoping to catch him. Justin spots her as he is pushed out among a crowd of people, but is unable to turn to her. He gestures "Oh well..." and the video ends.
Actually, she does reference how people just get caught up in a storm and not seeing them again. She just doesn't give all of the music history as a response to it. One could even go further in depth of that single "Oh well" at the end of the video and say that it represents all of the people we once said "Goodbye" or "See you tomorrow" and just never saw again regardless of how important they used to be to us because "Life got busy" or worse.
@wyomarine6341 It's a business aspect for her. Is it a true reaction if she stops her content to look up and give a 20-minute music history presentation? No, it's on to the next because that one is in the books paid for. Soooo many of us are so sorry she didn't give you exactly what you wanted. Obviously, she enjoyed it but should have left anything she didn't have in music history to the dustbin of time. Maybe you missed she's not a musical historian and is actually a performance artist trying to make a buck. Instead of responding like a snit to make yourself feel better, or worse pitying her, as someone who experienced those changes you could have had a positive engagement that helped her grow.
I listened to the moody blues in the late 60s probably before you were born i think their best song was the voice they played a great concert at red rocks in the 80s
The Moody Blues are one of my all - time favorite rock bands. They are very talented musicians who play 26 instruments between them. Their music is unique, and they were one of the first bands, if the first to combine rock and classical music in their songs. Their make themed concept albums with great lyrics that are thought provoking. I loved the creativity in this video, but I am not a fan of this song. I think it would be interesting if you react to a live performance where they play with a full orchestra. Their song Nights in White Satin would be the perfect choice for this.
Have you ever seen any PMJ (Post Modern Jukebox)? I recommend All About That Bass, if you haven't already seen/heard it. There's another Julliard opera-trained artist in that one. btw, this is my favorite Moody Blues song. thx for the reaction. I know the one guy sure looks like Elton John in the video, but Elton is not credited in the credits at IMDB.
Ummm - great song, great group - but did you miss the main point of the video? The singer and the girl were a 'thing' in their youth, and they drifted apart, and she (after getting married and having child) was drawn back to him by an LP record and going to see him perform in concert. A common tale: the one that got away!
I deleted my whole comment. Maggie... I grew up with them. And Elton John. I don't think Elton was involved. IMHO these guys tried to deliver the same message young artists do today. A different language preference, and presentation... but it still has the same motivation. I really miss this time. But I do love what kids are doing now as well. I just have to excuse the language as it were. Keep going Maggie. It would be great to see you somewhere sometime. I would love to hear you sing.

She has a right to her opinion. But I was like wow.
She's not asking if the song is ABOUT Elton John, she was asking the chat if that was a cameo from Elton John.
Just like most people won't recognize Steven Spielberg had an uncredited cameo as an office worker in The Blues Brothers. Is Spielberg memorable in it, no. Is the movie about Spielberg, no. He's just a guy at the end of the quest. Heck, most people reading this will end up Googling it to see if what I'm saying is real or not.
Also, she asks about the eye makeup. The song isn't about eye makeup either.
She DOES comment on how the woman gets caught up in a storm of people. Which IS relatable to the plot of the song. Does she go into a music history expose on how the black and white film characters represent the band, etc.? No. She did appreciate and enjoy the song. She did engage with her live audience, which is part of her content.
At least we can all imagine you shouting over her with the "right" answer, and the sigh a percentage gave in disgust.

Moody Blues band members and Justin's first love, jumping back and forth in time from 1965 to 1986. A great song and video production.
Maybe Im a 72 yr old baby but the way his voice lowers on that last 'in your wildest dream' always puts a lump in my throat and I get teary eyed.
❤ Yes, that was real 60s makeup. This song has a sequel. In part two, he seeks her. "I Know You're Out There Somewhere."
You have to see the follow-up video "I Know You're Out There Somewhere". Both of these videos got extensive play on MTV. The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time.
The Moody Blues are timeless and classic!
Such a sad melancholy song with an upbeat tune.

Wow, this was the theme for my Senior Prom back in 1988! Brought back memories for sure! Great group and great song.
Stinking LOVE this song and Justin's vocals. Great choice, Roy. As always, love your reactions Maggie.

Takes me right back to the summer of ‘86. I was 10 years old and so many fun things happened around that time.
I believe this probably my favorite song from this band Such a wistful song
Wistful...the perfect single word description of this song.
Such a good song. So nostalgic and fun. Love it! Great job Maggie!
Thank you so much!! 🥰

There is a second installment to your wildest dreams song and video. It's called I know your out there somewhere by the moody blues.
Yes, they had eyeliner like that. The Cleopatra look. She was a Rocker.
This has always been my favorite song by the Moody Blues.
2 years later they followed up with "I Know You're Out There Somewhere"
Probably one of ten songs I know as romantic.
BTW - Even those he was not in the band, he started the Moody Blues....Denny Laine RIP.
you should checkout the Moody Blues: A Night at Red Rock concert 1992 its great to see them live and singing all their great hits
This song almost always nearly makes me cry. There was this woman I knew in the 70s. I wonder if she thinks about me…
great easy listening type band-good voices and beat and clear diction...
👍🌹🤗
Saw the Moody Blues in concert just after this song came out. Amazing concert.
This is chapter 1 of the story. Chapter 2 is "I know you're out there somewhere). Listen to them together
@maggiereneemusic - have you heard/watch the Moody Blues - I Know You're Out There Somewhere. It feels like a sequel to Your Wildest Dreams as the music video continues the story in video format

Thanks, love their music and sing along while driving and still have my early pressing of the days of future past
👍💐💗
Correct title of the album is "Days of Future PASSED" (not "PAST") a lot of people get that confused.
my first album purchase was The Moody Blues, On The Threshold of a Dream., have seen them a few times. As a drummer, I cried when I was seeing Graham Edges, inability to play. when we saw them on their "Days of Futures Past, Live tour in 2017. He passed, so sad, in November of 2021,
Justin Hayward is without a doubt one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Ah great music and memories of riding with parents with Dad's music on family vacation.
When I wanted to get a young lady in the mood, well, then of course I put on the Moody Blues. Lush sound, intelligent lyrics.

This beautiful actress is Janet Spencer-Turner.
I don't know if you have or not, but you need to watch the sequel music video to this one, "I know you're out there somewhere.".
This is a look back at their early music and the make up was the style in the 60's in England
DO the sequel to this video. "I Know You're Out There Somewhere. "
Do the sequel "I know you're out there somewhere. "
Those were the 60's Mod look
one of my favorite songs from the 80s
Yep-it's my old friend Elton- Brian Birch
If song doesn’t make you think about “the one that got away”, did you even love them at all?
It was Elton, but it was about love lost and remembering the person of your dreams
One of the best songs from my younger years… your hair looks amazing
"La,y Afternoon" by Justin is a sweet song
Not Elton, just the Elton John 60s look. In the next scene where she's a mom with kids running around you see her turn and look at her husband sitting in the chair reading. It's the same man, just older.
I love the symbolism of this video
Loving the Moody Blues vibe you have got going. You should do On the Other Side of Life next. That is one of my favorite.
Great reaction! To find out the rest of the video's story, you will need to listen/watch the sequel song: "I Know You're Out There Somewhere",
Not Elton lol And he didn't start sporting that hairstyle until the 2000s. He was still embracing his natural, balding look until probably the 80s. That's really just a standard hippie look from the time.
@@Mystress1980 , yes, the face is much narrower than Elton's, too, as well as the ears are very different from his.
@@Mystress1980 Thanks for the correction. I started digging and found no mention of E.J. in the video.
@@CabinFever52 You and @Mystress1980 are correct. Thank you.
What an amazing voice he has. How he can go so high, then massively deep. This album sparked a revival of the Moody Blues.
I keep my first press record of Question of Balance on my wall. It's financially valuable, but to me it means more.
Your first crush. You know who they are. Do they remember you? Do they feel the same way you did? This always reminds me of mine. She knows who she is. I wish we could talk like we talked then.
Thanks Mags and Roy. Y'all's ossum.
Elton John never wore glasses until the late 70s
Somehow the movie title "Clueless" comes to mind.
Each and every heart, it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
And each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely, lonely one
Moody blues are the original band to sing the song sound of silence.
SIMON and GARFUNKEL sang the origina "The SOUND OF SILENCE."
Life would be so much poorer without the Moody Blues.
This song could have been called "Mistakes and Regret"
I would recommend reacting to the follow up to this song and music video, I Know You Are Out There Somewhere, which is a direct sequel to this track.
Girl i always enjoy your reactions ☺️👍 You are sooo friggin 🔥🔥💋 Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 🏄♂️🍹
I wonder if people get the meaning of this song/video. What does it mean when the video goes from color to B&W then back to color? (Hint: time shift! ...nostalgic look back into history.)
The video is telling the story of 2 young people in love, who drifted apart because the guy in the band became successful, and walked away from his girlfriend. The older blonde guy and the young blonde guy are the same guy, just decades apart. The young girl kissing the blonde guy and the older woman alone in her room or with a boring husband and a bunch of kids are the same person.
But she sees him on TV during a performance and starts remembering what she lost. Funnily enough, he starts thinking about her at the same time.
She grabs his record and runs out intending to go to him at his performance.
It doesn't end well.
I've never thought this was a fun upbeat song, even though it's one of my favorite Moody Blues songs.
"...when the music plays
...when the words are touched with sorrow
...when the music plays
...I hear the sound I had to follow..."
"...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."
MIght want to check out the "sequel" to this, called "I know you're out there somewhere". Do official version.
These guys, and Pink Floyd,,,timeless,,,you've heard of them right? Check out "Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb", final appearance. And "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
The two of them hook up in the next song/video, I Know You're Out There Somewhere.

Wow, I remember this being a decently big hit back in the day, but I didn't know it was the Moody Blues...I didn't know who they were until at least the 90s.
Dan Vasc- "Amazing Grace"
Yes, that was Elton John (young)
I wouldn't classify this as cheerful. It's more of an ode to a lost love, and the never ending quest to understand why it went wrong. Try out "I Just Don't Care" and "Slings And Arrows", both from the same album.

Way back in the 80s. The dark ages.
I listened to the moody blues in the late 60s probably before you were born i think their best song was the voice they played a great concert at red rocks in the 80s
An 80s video about the 60s. The band literally last for 30+ years. Not Elton John. The video was made in the 80s and Elton didn't look like that.
Apparently Maggie you did not grasp the story of what the Video was trying to say lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are lost 🤣🤣🤣
The Moody Blues are one of my all - time favorite rock bands. They are very talented musicians who play 26 instruments between them. Their music is unique, and they were one of the first bands, if the first to combine rock and classical music in their songs. Their make themed concept albums with great lyrics that are thought provoking. I loved the creativity in this video, but I am not a fan of this song. I think it would be interesting if you react to a live performance where they play with a full orchestra. Their song Nights in White Satin would be the perfect choice for this.
There are at least 10 notable stars in the video. And that is Elton.
Have you ever seen any PMJ (Post Modern Jukebox)? I recommend All About That Bass, if you haven't already seen/heard it. There's another Julliard opera-trained artist in that one.
btw, this is my favorite Moody Blues song. thx for the reaction. I know the one guy sure looks like Elton John in the video, but Elton is not credited in the credits at IMDB.
Ummm - great song, great group - but did you miss the main point of the video? The singer and the girl were a 'thing' in their youth, and they drifted apart, and she (after getting married and having child) was drawn back to him by an LP record and going to see him perform in concert. A common tale: the one that got away!
If you take recommendations, another song from that time that you might enjoy is Kyrie by Mister Mister
I am new to your channel and happy to subscribe.
I think the ending to the video is heartbreaking.

I deleted my whole comment. Maggie... I grew up with them. And Elton John. I don't think Elton was involved. IMHO these guys tried to deliver the same message young artists do today. A different language preference, and presentation... but it still has the same motivation. I really miss this time. But I do love what kids are doing now as well. I just have to excuse the language as it were. Keep going Maggie. It would be great to see you somewhere sometime. I would love to hear you sing.
The makeup is very '60's. Just look at pictures of Twiggy. I doubt that this is Elton John in the video.
Check out "Night s In White Satin!!!!!!!!
Yes it's Elton John
