I have the full song he's amazing, faces of the heart. Notice how 90s theme songs like all my children or GH has that saxophone or piano, but early 2000s has that retro guitar I swear the last time they made good theme songs were 2000s
👌👍 This is the theme that brings me back to my #GeneralHospital roots hearing the show on during elementary school in the 90s when my Mom watched it! Probably also because of that it is my favorite musically. I just think #GH theme music hasn't been the same since it lost its orchestral horns sound. Shrug. I mean I will say currently it is much more modern but it's still sad to not hear the horns.
Boy after today's so sad on so many levels....this was lovely to see!!!! OMG!!! Those were the days!!! All the heroes were there and such great actors....just remember it was so great!
Out of all of the theme songs for GH this was my favorite! I grew up with this theme! So yes I totally!!! I've been watching this soap for 20 plus years still the top soap in my eyes!!
This one always brings a tear to my eyes. When they introduced it after so many years of the classic, I was resistant, but now, hearing the melody and seeing so many faces i loved it just gets me. Thank you!
this was my favorite theme song. Never left me i watched a lot of soaps as a kid this is the song that stuck with me the most. More than 20 years later it still pops up in my head every now and then.
It's turning into a whodunit. Sonny killed Morgan while trying to go after Julian, Michael is beside himself, and I think Carson is over. I miss some of the old characters, too.
+Jessica Archer thats the good thing about titles with pictures of the characters and their names. I'm from the UK and not a soap watcher apart from Prisoner Cell Block H
My mom and grandma watched this all the time when I was little. The only thing my preschool brain could process was this opening. What a rush of nostalgia!
This opening is hands down the best GH intro and it should have been kept in place. Love this opening more than any GH opening . Since 2013 change it’s pretty Boring for openings. Thanks for posting this Classic GH opener.
I always ❤️ this version and the mid 70’s - early 93 orchestra theme for that era. Not crazy about the newer themes for GH. Like so many other things soaps were better years ago I think anyways.
I think this ties with the original for my favorite, even though I hated it as a teen when it was new. I particularly like how they reworked the original to fit the era's more sensitive mood, creating a new song while subtly keeping the opening notes & some other melodies. (Especially as opposed to the shift to the "dueling screechy randomly-off-key saxophones" version. I never imagined a theme song could be less subtle than an ambulance siren!)
Amen to them bringing back the good music! I would love nothing more than for them to bring back this version of the "Faces of the Heart" as the opening theme. It was the best and I really miss it.
I miss this opening so much and I wish they would bring it back. Oh well ! Hopefully I will get a chance to be a head writer on this soon and I I’ll bring it back. Here’s to hoping
I wish they could bring this back, but I guess due to the ad space needed during commercial breaks they can’t air an intro this long today. The 2021 intro is only 22 seconds
My mother loved #GH in the 90s to the early 2000s, she stopped watching in 2005 when someone got killed or something, I don't really remember; when I was growing up, whenever I heard this theme I would automatically figure out that she was watching #GH but I never knew that the building they used in the intro was real until 3 years ago when my aunt told me
All I gotta say is first and foremost RIP 🙏🏽 to my boy Tyler Christopher AKA the original Nickolas this one hurt BIG TIME. I was praying 🙏🏽 nd hoping that he will make his Gh return for one last once I heard the news!!!! I ain't believe it.. but once I was saw it on Maurice Benard X Twitter page then ik it was true still a big 😮 shock again riptyler Christopher the original Nickolas. 🙏🏽😢💔💙
This was the first Gh opening I saw being at my grandma house everyone watched daytime soaps so I got hooked at a young age this theme and the siren theme are my favs
My Grandmother Used To Watch The Hell Outta This Show Back In The 90's This Was Our Version Of Reality Shows B4 All The Disturbing Stuff Put On TV Started!
I remember being SO little and when I'd hear this music, I'd know that it was a loooooooooong wait until Barney was on (it was, what, maybe a half an hour or an hour later?) But when you're, like, 3 it feels like forever. I genuinely came to resent this song and this show as a kid because in my toddler mind, if this show weren't on, Barney would be on sooner. Then in high school, I had a OLTL and GH phase.
She'd probably get royalties, if they still showed her image...So they had to get rid of it. But yeah, that sucks...I miss that 90's intro part, and the part when the guy falls off the boat. lol
I didn't watch back then but I like this intro better than the one we have now. They need to update ours because right now about half of the characters aren't even in the opening credits.
@@isaiahhill2104 At least Sonny & this Carly had chemistry though. It became the SnC show after Laura left & the Quartermaines were back burned of killed.
@@JmBvhntnt28 The transition into the S&C show started in about 99’. Once we hit 2002, they had taken over so much of the show that it was hard to stomach (even before Genie Francis left).
No, the 1st Carly was (Sarah Joy Brown), who also played Caudia. But the Carly in this intro was (Tamara Braun) who also came back later as Kim Oscar's Mom and Drew's Ex.
Well @Everyone... They changed the opening because ABC wanted to uniform all the beginnings of the soaps with the new ABC Graphics that were implimented. And... You can Look forward to the NEW opening on Feb. 23, 2010. Hope they bring back the good music!
Such a warm and nostalgic opening should never have been replaced.
Bring back the open ING
Love this song 🎵
One of my favorite openings of shows I don’t watch lol (my mommy use to watch it)
This one never gets old hearing over and over
I Have The CD To This Soundtrack Of General Hospital I Bought It Years Ago On Amazon
This is literally my childhood! I grew up hearing this every day because my mom loves her soaps. 😢 SO MANY MEMORIES!
Yeah I remember this with my gramma watching this. I kinda miss Luke.
Same here. My mom used to watch this together with All My Children and One Life to Life.
This is David Koz faces of the heart. This is my favorite jazz song of all time. Who is still listening in 2022?
Me!!!!
They need to bring this opening back!! Perfect set-up and music 💞
Please I hope so
Forget it, theme takes up precious 30 seconds commercial time. Read= $$$
@@johnlewinski6359 abc is being cheap basically
They Need To Bring Back This Logo aka Faces Of The Heart Cause That’s What General Hospital Represents
@@crystaljewel1073even though I'm from the UK this sounds a great theme tune
Whoever played sax on this track absolutely destroyed it. This song has remained in my head for like 20 yrs
Edit: His name is Dave Koz
I have the full song he's amazing, faces of the heart. Notice how 90s theme songs like all my children or GH has that saxophone or piano, but early 2000s has that retro guitar I swear the last time they made good theme songs were 2000s
That would be the great Dave Koz
Facts
The best theme song ever
That is the GOAT himself, Dave Koz.
GH will never have a better theme than Faces Of The Heart.
Lady_K it was the best beautiful theme
This theme is great but the 1975-93 version is pretty much the heart and soul of GH.
Siren theme is the best
Memories
I miss the Early 90's of GH
👌👍 This is the theme that brings me back to my #GeneralHospital roots hearing the show on during elementary school in the 90s when my Mom watched it!

Kee G same except this happened to me during the mid 2000s
90s the best
Modern isn't always better. The 90s was the better theme song. Hearing it again brings back all my memories I loved the show then.
I agree!
Ditto 90s watched all soaps until they cancelled one life to live. Then it went down hill😂
0:15, Rest In Peace Mr Tyler Christopher
This theme has stuck with me since childhood. Every note. I didn't even know what the feck was going on in the soaps, but..... I liked this music. XD
Boy after today's so sad on so many levels....this was lovely to see!!!! OMG!!! Those were the days!!! All the heroes were there and such great actors....just remember it was so great!
Out of all of the theme songs for GH this was my favorite! I grew up with this theme! So yes I totally!!! I've been watching this soap for 20 plus years still the top soap in my eyes!!
Sounds like me too lol!
Me three
This theme and Young and the restless are iconic themes of my childhood. I miss you mom
This one always brings a tear to my eyes. When they introduced it after so many years of the classic, I was resistant, but now, hearing the melody and seeing so many faces i loved it just gets me.
Thank you!
this was my favorite theme song. Never left me i watched a lot of soaps as a kid this is the song that stuck with me the most. More than 20 years later it still pops up in my head every now and then.
GH should have kept Faces of the Heart as their theme!! It was SOOO good!!
This was when GH was real good, now I don't know what's happening to it.
It's turning into a whodunit. Sonny killed Morgan while trying to go after Julian, Michael is beside himself, and I think Carson is over. I miss some of the old characters, too.
First Last I miss the old writers. Seems like the the new ones can't get it together.
Seems predictable that Morgan might possibly still be alive
@@cutieepie8 i like the 90s but the 80s was way better.
@@cutieepie8my gay heart flutters when i see the character Ric
Man I miss this theme song and most of these characters especially lucky bring him backkk😫❤
+Jessica Archer thats the good thing about titles with pictures of the characters and their names. I'm from the UK and not a soap watcher apart from Prisoner Cell Block H
Now that was an awesome opening! I wish they would bring this theme back!
Been watching for 40 years straight. Love this theme.
They need to bring this one back
My fav GH cast.
They were really the faces of the heart
Right...
My mom and grandma watched this all the time when I was little.
The only thing my preschool brain could process was this opening.
What a rush of nostalgia!
Same, my mother always had this on and the intro music really stuck to me
Same with my dad. This song is embedded in my brain.
GH's most catchy intro theme, EVER. Visions of the good days of the 90's episodes come to memory. Bring back this intro tune.
Bring back this opening.
Beautiful!
#WELCOME TO GENERAL HOSPITAL
This opening is hands down the best GH intro and it should have been kept in place. Love this opening more than any GH opening . Since 2013 change it’s pretty Boring for openings. Thanks for posting this Classic GH opener.
This was the theme when I started watching back in 2003 when I was 8. It brings back so many memories.
Jameelia Moonrise yeah I wish watched this back then
This was the 90’s theme until the mid-late 2000’s
I always ❤️ this version and the mid 70’s - early 93 orchestra theme for that era. Not crazy about the newer themes for GH. Like so many other things soaps were better years ago I think anyways.
I don't even watch soaps but they always have good theme music lol.
The Guiding Light that 90's hold on to love was golden
This is my ringtone lol
Miss the early 90's so much
This song always make me emotional for some reason.
Me too
Same end never gets old I can hear it all day long

Facts 💯 I pray 🙏🏽 nd hope they bring this theme song 🎵 back. But I doubt they would bring this back...
That's wh I myself google the theme song faces of the heart by Dave koz ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This music is on itunes :)
Happy 60th Anniversary To GENERAL HOSPITAL
This theme song stuck my head for some reason never really got into show my great gram loved it tho
Amen to them bringing back the good music! I would love nothing more than for them to bring back this version of the "Faces of the Heart" as the opening theme. It was the best and I really miss it.

Welcome to GENERAL HOSPITAL
50 Years Of General Hospital
I wish they could bring this back, but I guess due to the ad space needed during commercial breaks they can’t air an intro this long today. The 2021 intro is only 22 seconds
I wish there was a full version of the song in this tempo. The original is so much slower than this one.
You mean an extended version- this is the full version. It was written for the opening so it was short.
why tf does this song play in my head at like 1100am randomly
My mother loved #GH in the 90s to the early 2000s, she stopped watching in 2005 when someone got killed or something, I don't really remember; when I was growing up, whenever I heard this theme I would automatically figure out that she was watching #GH but I never knew that the building they used in the intro was real until 3 years ago when my aunt told me

SO GLAD JAX IS OUT. 👍👍❤❤
WELCOME TO GENERAL HOSPITAL
I miss this type of opening. They used it for so many years. It was their trademark.
Changed the channel fast when I heard this music 😂😂 miss the 90s
Faces of the Heart by David Koz
I miss the days (80s and 90s) when saxophone in music wasn't corny, but the norm.
This was the first Gh opening I saw being at my grandma house everyone watched daytime soaps so I got hooked at a young age this theme and the siren theme are my favs
_queenlauren lex me too. This was the first GH opening I ever saw too.
I grew up listening to this. My mom loved General Hospital.
All my Children,OLTL and GH my mom watched these religiously until early 2000
Memories
My Grandmother Used To Watch The Hell Outta This Show Back In The 90's This Was Our Version Of Reality Shows B4 All The Disturbing Stuff Put On TV Started!
I'm big fan of You General Hospital All Episodes my fan favorite Lucky My Friend Lucky
When I was a kid my granny watched this show so I also watched but didn’t understand much. I was like Wo years old and in love with Sonny 😆
This one of my favorite soap
I remember being SO little and when I'd hear this music, I'd know that it was a loooooooooong wait until Barney was on (it was, what, maybe a half an hour or an hour later?) But when you're, like, 3 it feels like forever. I genuinely came to resent this song and this show as a kid because in my toddler mind, if this show weren't on, Barney would be on sooner.
Then in high school, I had a OLTL and GH phase.
this is hilarious and adorable
Luke cracks me up with the stare. He always has the stare down in all the intros. LOL
Except, in the debut 90's Faces of the Heart intros...He is smiling and hugging Laura. lol
If only it were still like that😩. That’s when he was happy 💔
This theme was so 90s.
This entire squad was bombbbbbbb
What a great song
I notice after Vanessa Marcil left, they cut out the part where Sonny & Brenda are running in puerto rico..wow.
She'd probably get royalties, if they still showed her image...So they had to get rid of it. But yeah, that sucks...I miss that 90's intro part, and the part when the guy falls off the boat. lol
Luke and Laura ARE and always be the heart ❤️ of General Hospital. It will never be as good as when they were together on the show.
Tomorrow. GH is getting a new opening. And, I'm so praying they go back to this.
I didn't really start watching GH until they killed off Oscar. I watch it every day, now!!
My favorite one!
I still miss this one...
GENERAL HOSPITAL
My mom used to watch this show all the time. 90s toddler days 😂
I started watching with my mom in 2006 so I remember the siren theme
I miss 2000’s and early 2010’s general hospital I can’t stand it now
Makes me miss my mom
what a thrill so beautiful:)
I didn't watch back then but I like this intro better than the one we have now. They need to update ours because right now about half of the characters aren't even in the opening credits.
Wow. About half of these actors were also on Days of Our Lives at one time or another. Soaps are so incestuous. LOL
My Carly how I miss you. Please GH Gods give me back MY Carly. Enough with this Kim nonsense.
I still hate that they changed lucky
i like this gh. the gh now sucks
brad cause it’s the sonny and Carly show. And not even the good Carly Tamara brauns carly
@@cwp4eva It was the Sonny and Carly show here too.

No, the 1st Carly was (Sarah Joy Brown), who also played Caudia. But the Carly in this intro was (Tamara Braun) who also came back later as Kim Oscar's Mom and Drew's Ex.
I always wondered why they replaced everyone's shot but Mac's.
So! Beautiful!
77-81 was the show's peak but this theme is the best.
*'93-'04
I used to watch these with my mom when i was bored as a kid. As someone who loves wrestling, soap operas are kinda cringe ngl
General Hospital , One Life To Live 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Omg I LOVE the fact Monica and Alan (RIP) are first and they saved the best for last LUKE ❤️
Who's the big star now?
@@johnlewinski6359sonny
Anna is my favorite character on the show. She has that Nicole Kidman-esque in her. I have a crush on her too
General Hospital Remains On ABC Daytime
Isn't there a longer version of this theme song? Not the slow sappy one, but this Tempo?
No it was written just for the opening.
This one was out when I was born
What month is this opening's final episode in 2004 before changes into the Siren opening
August 27th was the final episode when they showed FOTH for the last time.
wow sonny is actually smiling and jason looks so different
Well @Everyone... They changed the opening because ABC wanted to uniform all the beginnings of the soaps with the new ABC Graphics that were implimented. And... You can Look forward to the NEW opening on Feb. 23, 2010. Hope they bring back the good music!
