      There are some, like us, who like it and others that appreciate its mere profitability--like talentless, second-rate Nazi-style freaks procuring our goods and scuzzily and illegally using each as their own.
      Thankfully, we do as God allows, NOT as smelly government-doped trash likes, wants, says, or does.

    The funny thing is I lived in a small village with my parents and older brother. The first time I was allowed to go and play with other kids in the city (2 miles from our village) was when I was 13 years old! The thing I used to convince my mother to let me go was the CD of Mike Oldfield with this song! My friend was about to give it to me on the city's playground where they were playing football. My mom said yes, and after that, everything changed! I started to go there almost every day (during the summer); I soon made new friends (they all lived in the city) and 7-8 of us became best friends! Our gatherings at the city's fountain, playing catch, football, and basketball, and going out for pizza - I still remember those days. The best days of my life! Everything started with one CD! With this amazing song!

    I have to say, this is so far, my favorite female vocalist attempting Moonlight Shadow" after Maggie Reilly's. She didn't feel she had to do anything strange with it. The song is already beautiful and rich enough to try to adorn it unnecessairly. I really like this sober version, more faithful to the original.

      Mike Oldfield is pure talent... But when that talent is mixed with experience, experimenting, influence and adding a pinch of other geniuses' company, gets him BEYOND many. I always cringe with every different play of this solo, and never fails in making me shiver. That guitar is singing by its own!

    Fantastic,forgot how good Mike oldfield was on the guitar,original solo was Scott Robertson from thin lizzy,mike pulled it off brilliantly,well he did write it,amazing.The girl singing had big shoes to fill from Maggie Bell but again amazing.
