ive been watching this show since i was little with my mom... and this is by FAR my FAVORITE opening and music! im really gonna miss this show when it goes off air... im so addiccted to it..
thanks for including the open, bumper and closing. What a great show. Excellent opening. The "Real" Craig, the "Real" Lily,, the adorable Gwen and Will, peerless Jack and Carly, Luke, et al. Even though missing Barbara, Lisa and they made the beautiful Kim look like a school marm (really, she's SO much more stylish than that. Cheekbones, people!), THIS was a good opening. Chris Goutman, you did us wrong!
I remember coming home from school when this used to come on around 2pm. However I only watched when Luke and Noah were on (didn’t care much for the others, except for Maybe Gwen/Will and Casey/Maddie). Then after watching I’d do my homework lol
This is my favorite soap and version of opening. I see old Lilly, and Luke and Dusty with short hair, and the Gwen drama. Wow, things are changeing so fats in a year.
What's crazier than that is the fact that now there are just three daytime soap operas on TV now that NBC has moved "Days of Our Lives" to Peacock. "General Hospital" on ABC and the two soaps on CBS: "The Bold and the Beautiful" along with "The Young and the Restless."
@@MichaelLovely-mr6oh But now, CBS is adding another new daytime soap opera to its daytime lineup in 2025 to be with The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful... and it's .... Beyond the Gates!
HEY......does anyone know where I can find this episode of As the World Turns....the episode with the scene of Will and Gwen and Gwen says I'm glad you're home!!!!!!!! I've been looking for it everywhere!!!!
I agree, this show is known for its graphics used in theme sequences, I think they should show the characters featured in the days episode so we know what to expect, especially if we are only interested in 1 or 2 storylines
I think when they made this, Roger Howarth was not sure if he would stay on as Paul or go back to OLTO to play Todd again. But at the last minute he decided to stay on as Paul on ATWT. Since new characters have come and others have come back, I'm sure they'll make another version with Paul in it.
What do you mean by that? In the nineties, the YR opening had only a white background! I like the yellow style here, but I personally would not compare it to YR openings.
Does anyone know who composed this theme? I think it sounds very much like Chris Spheeris on his Culture Album. B.T.W.: This is by far my favorite opening of ATWT.
Yes, the beginning is slow, but then the calm is interrupted. If we often hear it, we'll get used to it. I like the visuals but the logo should have been stayed the same.
This wasn't a bad intro, but I hated this time period of the show. I don't know what they were smoking when they let Scott Bryce and Martha Byrne walk. They were THE Craig and Lily.
I never understood why they put Alison with Luke in the opening credits considering the actress who played her had just joined show and Jade was never in the opening credits when she should've been in the opening credits with Luke instead of Alison. I never got that. Jade Taylor was a major part of the reason as to why I was watching atwt from 2006 until she left.
It looks somewhat nice to me. Theme music sounds very nice. I would really liked to have seen ATWT include the performer's names in this new opening... and the globe turning in outer space once again.
Actually, both Howarth and TPTB at ATWT decided to make it look like he was going to leave. Howarth did ink a new deal but they kept him away long enough to bring back on Rosanna
Much better show than the soap operas left on American tv. Though the stories after 2005 weren't the same as before. Hogan Sheffer did a great job..Jean Passanate not so much.
I guess we'll no longer see an opening and theme music for ATWT. I liked this theme but didn't like the 'beauty shots'. Have you noticed the cast photos they are showing now during the middle of the show? I like those.
And none of the ones after the 90s were any good, honestly. That "Only Love Can Save The World" song GL tried to pass off as its theme during the Peapack years sounded more appropriate for a WB teen drama. This I don't even remember because my mother, who watched CBS soaps with her mother as far back as the 1960s, had quit watching the show by that point. That's how I knew those shows were not long for this world.
I really wish Helen Wagner would have lived long enough to deliver the final lines on the show as well. And NO ONE could give a disapproving glare like Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda)!
I like this theme ok. The music is great, but I liked the old logo better. The yellow works a little, but with all the trees, grasslands and farms it gives me the feeling that the soap takes place in Africa or a prairie, which it doesn't. Maybe they should add some city shots and ocean shots in the back. But I like how they showed pics from the past behind the characters.
I lik the music but I would rather see the pictures in black and white sort of like the Love of Life opening in 1979 or 1980 before the show was axed. The new logo looks like it was done in-house and they don't show pictures of the vets in the mid-break bumper
I MISS ATWT even though the stories weren't the best espcially with Barabra locked in that basement talking to that damn clown, I wish we could still see this soap
My favorite soap! I miss these people! Can’t believe it’s been off the air almost 10 years. Such good memories:)
A tear came to my eye to hear this tune again
ive been watching this show since i was little with my mom... and this is by FAR my FAVORITE opening and music! im really gonna miss this show when it goes off air... im so addiccted to it..
This opening was far beyond its time. I wish CBS would've stuck with it! It had great charm!

god... can't believe that is hasn't been on tv anymore for almost 6 years....

Rest In Peace, Allison & Lucinda
And Kim
This and The Young and the Restless have to be the two best themes for all soap openings! :)
1st place: The Young and the Restless
2nd place: The Bold and the Beautiful
3rd place: As The World Turns
Man I always thought this was the coolest soap opening song
I used to watch this everyday with my mom when I got back from school. The memories ❤My favorite daytime soap. I still miss it
Such a great opening
Once in awhile I will play these soap opera tunes...because CBS soaps were my Mom's favorites. Mom has passed bout 17 yrs now. I miss her everyday.
This opening theme, with all it's dramatic effect, was so pretty, especially the beautiful piano at the end.
I agree, the best Soap Opera made
Same with guiding light
Probably my favorite ATWT opening. Too bad it was also the most short-lived. I hated when they did away with opening music and just showed the logo.
I oko
Horrible opening
It's a very emotional theme! Sometimes I think that I'm gonna cry after listening to it.
Im named after Holden
I always thought he was the sexiest guy on TV.
R.I.P. Kathryn Hays, Marnie Schulenberg, and Elizabeth Hubbard. Fly high. 🙏🕊🙏🕊
the music is so cool! i love everything of that soap!
This is my favorite soap and version of opening. I see old Lilly, and Luke and Dusty with short hair, and the Gwen drama.
Wow, things are changeing so fats in a year.
Hard to believe that in September, this classic soap opera will have been gone from CBS for a whole DECADE....
I still find it hard to believe Guiding Light got canceled. You can imagine how I feel about this not being on the air.
What's crazier than that is the fact that now there are just three daytime soap operas on TV now that NBC has moved "Days of Our Lives" to Peacock. "General Hospital" on ABC and the two soaps on CBS: "The Bold and the Beautiful" along with "The Young and the Restless."

Aligf Unleashed was used the logo in 2007-2008 new theme and 2008-2013 the clock with the globe intro.
this is the only theme I ever saw lol so it must be my favorite, the theme music is so dramatic, I love it
I loved As The World Turns.
So many memories associated with this theme. Nostalgia is rough sometimes.
After 2 weeks of the new theme (As the World Turns) on Monday, May 14, 2007 and the last, Wednesday, March 11, 2009.
Beginng of this video that Cleo dress like Gwen and same hair as Gwen too ?
Are they doing multiple version of this opening? Many people are missign from this one, including Lisa, Nancy, Barbara, Tom, Margo, etc.
This is a sensational opening credits.
I love this new theme. I'm soooo glad they're not doing those fake smiles! This is perfect and wow Austin Peck looks hot!!
They had so many vanilla actors with the exception of the veterans. It's not wonder they were cancelled. Sad.
Best soap opera theme at all time.
HEY......does anyone know where I can find this episode of As the World Turns....the episode with the scene of Will and Gwen and Gwen says I'm glad you're home!!!!!!!! I've been looking for it everywhere!!!!

I LOVE YOU ATWT and I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU
why did ATWT CLOSE *cries*
houintellect: there is a full quality mp3 of the theme music on one of the fan sites for download...hope that helps =)
5 STARS! What about version 2 ??
what actor/character was that at 0:27 - 0:30 seconds in the center? he looks familiar from DoOL.
Austin Peck
I wonder if there is a slower version of this theme. I would be great if TPTB experimented a little and played different variations of the theme.
I started watching around this time, it was a GOOD SHOW
That's Austin Peck. ex-Brad, ATWT and ex-Austin, DAYS.
This opening and logo was aired on Monday April 30 , 2007 until the last day was on Friday June 19 , 2009
Did they still have Martha in it in 09?
I think when they made this, Roger Howarth was not sure if he would stay on as Paul or go back to OLTO to play Todd again. But at the last minute he decided to stay on as Paul on ATWT. Since new characters have come and others have come back, I'm sure they'll make another version with Paul in it.
Yes, you are right. They should have smiled. What happened when the shots were taken? Lily looks stressed and sad.
a lot of people love that show so much
Loved this opening credits
most favorite intro!
awesome theme!!!! best one out of all the previous ones
What do you mean by that? In the nineties, the YR opening had only a white background! I like the yellow style here, but I personally would not compare it to YR openings.
I liked this opening. I also liked the one they used from 1981 - 1993.
Does anyone know who composed this theme? I think it sounds very much like Chris Spheeris on his Culture Album.
B.T.W.:
This is by far my favorite opening of ATWT.
who is the artist of this song and what is the song title? i am wanting to find it to download it. anyone know?
Was there another version with other characters?
I thought the same thing, the way the pictures transition in and out is similar to that Y&R open.
Where's paul?😮
Should make 2 versions of this opening and keep it ?
when you wrote this the show was off the air
How can I get the theme song???!!!
I miss LUCINDA & Craig, LILY & Holden, and, more than anything, Katie & Henry. This show was ahead of its bizarre Wonder bread time.
So many memories
I wish they would re-vamp this opening. ATWT is splipping and the opening doesn't help.
I love the part starting at 0:13 !!!! :) soooo cool! Is there a name for this? I want to download it soooo bad!!
Yes, the beginning is slow, but then the calm is interrupted. If we often hear it, we'll get used to it. I like the visuals but the logo should have been stayed the same.
ATWT should re-visit this theme with their new blue colour. I'd love it!
great opening. i miss luke and noah though
This wasn't a bad intro, but I hated this time period of the show. I don't know what they were smoking when they let Scott Bryce and Martha Byrne walk. They were THE Craig and Lily.
Rest in Peace Kathryn Hays (Kim Hughes).
Oh UA-cam why you recommend me this now I am crying!
The is first episode of this opening aired Monday April 30 , 2007 ?
I loved all drama daytime series of AS THE WORLD TURNS!!!!
I never understood why they put Alison with Luke in the opening credits considering the actress who played her had just joined show and Jade was never in the opening credits when she should've been in the opening credits with Luke instead of Alison. I never got that. Jade Taylor was a major part of the reason as to why I was watching atwt from 2006 until she left.
Love it!!! And Luke is the cutest :-))
i know how you feel.... sweet nostalgia.
It looks somewhat nice to me. Theme music sounds very nice. I would really liked to have seen ATWT include the performer's names in this new opening... and the globe turning in outer space once again.
I hope they use this opening again, just update the actors variations.
Why do you think that?
Actually, both Howarth and TPTB at ATWT decided to make it look like he was going to leave. Howarth did ink a new deal but they kept him away long enough to bring back on Rosanna
RH was around when Cady was back. He was being paired again with KM.
Much better show than the soap operas left on American tv. Though the stories after 2005 weren't the same as before. Hogan Sheffer did a great job..Jean Passanate not so much.
Sven R i actually thought that those 2008-2010 Years were still Great written..
@@GLBizzie I guess you like seeing Meg waffling back and forth between Paul and the next available man.
I guess we'll no longer see an opening and theme music for ATWT. I liked this theme but didn't like the 'beauty shots'. Have you noticed the cast photos they are showing now during the middle of the show? I like those.
Damn! How many times have ATWT and GL changed their opening sequence in the last decade???
And none of the ones after the 90s were any good, honestly. That "Only Love Can Save The World" song GL tried to pass off as its theme during the Peapack years sounded more appropriate for a WB teen drama. This I don't even remember because my mother, who watched CBS soaps with her mother as far back as the 1960s, had quit watching the show by that point. That's how I knew those shows were not long for this world.
@Lonarix1 Jade wasn't a central part of the show to warrant being apart of the credits.
Good theme..they didn't work it out :( In a month or so the show will get to an end in the Netherlands as well :(
AS THE W 🌎 RLD TURNS The Daytime Soap Opera Of All Time On CBS
I love the new theme
I really wish Helen Wagner would have lived long enough to deliver the final lines on the show as well. And NO ONE could give a disapproving glare like Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda)!
very very cool!
i like the new music. At least the used to update the cast in the onld theme! I have not seen a cast opening for ages. Just that black one :(
Should have kept this until the end. My fav is 1999-2002
I like this theme ok. The music is great, but I liked the old logo better. The yellow works a little, but with all the trees, grasslands and farms it gives me the feeling that the soap takes place in Africa or a prairie, which it doesn't. Maybe they should add some city shots and ocean shots in the back. But I like how they showed pics from the past behind the characters.
Bring back and combine with guilding light
God I love this... best soap opening ever!
Ever? LOL
0:33-Lilly and Holden
I lik the music but I would rather see the pictures in black and white sort of like the Love of Life opening in 1979 or 1980 before the show was axed. The new logo looks like it was done in-house and they don't show pictures of the vets in the mid-break bumper
sorry - was that in english? rofl! back to the videos now please...quiet thanks =)
I MISS ATWT even though the stories weren't the best espcially with Barabra locked in that basement talking to that damn clown, I wish we could still see this soap
It's great but in holland it is blue cuz we are in the episode of will gwen en carly jack en iris in NY!
They often change the theme music.
It seems like I'm the only one who actually likes this theme the best out of all of them.... humm..
Nice:D
