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.
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. Stevie Nix and that three and four way trash rank up there with this; now that I get your point.
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
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.
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.
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

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?
This was my best friend’s favorite song. He was my brother from another mother, my best man at my wedding and such a great guy. He just died yesterday at 34. I hope you’re somewhere in the universe jamming to this, love you man.
I've never seen a video of this song. My God, the visual storytelling this video is ridiculously melancholy. Maybe that hints at why I still love The Moody Blues
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
I’m 80, and I’m still listening to it! I only attended 1 concert in my life, and it was The Moody Blues, and they played and sang Your Wildest Dreams, and I still love it!
@@jdwyer4851 Like you, I have been to a lot of the concerts from "the very best" in rock from the 60s through the 80s. The Moodies put on the best musical production. Period. They didn't do any fancy lasers or big screen projections or dance numbers. They didn't do political rants. They just played their music and did not disappoint. Justin and John (guitar/vocals & bass/vocals for those who do not know) are still out there somewhere doing what they do best. Moody Blues forever.
I saw my first Moody Blues concert in 1968. Their music was set apart from the other bands of that era. Not acid rock or mindless lyrics. How many bands have been backed up by a complete orchestra? Still enjoying their music in 2024 as I did in 1968. Their music is timeless and unlike any other band.
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.
I was named after Justin Hayward. My dad loved this band. He died about 5 years ago. Before he passed, I asked him to let me know if he “made it there.” He died at 8:04 am March 12. That night, I woke up from the most vivid dream, bawling my eyes out. My dad, looking much younger, was knelt down, listening to our old stereo system. This song was playing, dad looked at me and sang, I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me? Once upon a time in your wildest dreams. He let me know he made it. I love you dad.
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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.
The year was 1968...I was in study mode for Final Semester Exams.Had to take a break ! Quick trip to the Record Store and I returned with : " In Search of a Lost Chord " ! Wow ! ! Still have it !....48 years later !!! db
I shared a bed with the most beautiful woman I ever knew in Huntsville one night. We sang this together in each other's arms. Every time I hear this song my mind races back to her. And my heart aches. I love you, Rachel.
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
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’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.
I'm so sick of hearing people talking about "sparks" like it's a movie or a tv show or something. I'm constantly told that I'm not allowed to have that and shouldn't even want it and that my emotions are nothing and meaningless but then I see overdramatic people like you always talking about "sparks" like you're a fake character in a movie. Stop it. I'm never even gonna be allowed to LOOK at a woman!
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? ;)
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 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.❤
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 heard this in the grocery store the other day and the lyrics had me almost crying... it reminded me of me and my first love, who I still know to this day, who is a good man and married. I am happy for him, I don't want us back together (we have very different lives) but the bittersweet memories of our innocent youth and all the years since brought me here to listen again, and let the tears flow, remembering the joy and pain of first love. What a great song ♡ thanks Moody Blues ♡
@James-if3kc having someone is precious and I treasure any good relationship I have had. I also have no one but myself to rely on atm, and humans are hard for me to deal with, but I know life changes and there are some good humans out there, so who knows? For now, I take care of my child and animals and try to make me a priority everyday so I can be here for them.
This one and "I know you're out there somewhere" were both 80s classics. How lucky we were to still have the Moody Blues contribute great songs to a great decade.
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 .........
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
As of early this morning, after almost 30 years of eligibility, the Moody Blues are being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. About dang time!!!
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.
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.
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.
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...
Nobody cares. You're just another privileged person who got married at 20 and then got remarried again right after you lost that one. I'm 42 and I've never had ANYONE and never will. So sick of people like you who get everything handed to them when I've deliberately had everything TAKEN from me before I could even have it!!!
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…
In 1987 my wife died in a car crash. I was listening to this song when I heard the news. From then on, I would always drive on that road listening to this song on the radio and think of her. Please come back DEBORAH 💜
This was my dads absolute favorite song. He passed when i was 25, he was only 63. He was very sentimental old school dude. Miss him and we play music for the good memories ❤
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.
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.
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!
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 time machine too, I can be back at the skating rink or cruising with my friends or in Panama City Beach Florida partying with the twist of the dial, magic !
And don't forget one of their deep cuts,The Balance. From the album A Question of Balance. When I'm on my death bed I want to hear that song playing as I cross over to The Other Side. I be waiting for my partner Larry when he finally crosses over so we can be together again.
70's and 80's were the best decades for music. Bands like Styx, Moody Blues, Triumph, Trooper, Boston, Prism, Journey just to name a few. Still playing on radio 📻 today.
Not only a great song, but the video is well-deserving of the awards it won. It's a perfect blend of the song's story of lost love combined with a marvelous consciousness of where the Moodies had been and were when the song was released. Brilliant.
Yes Sir, you are correct. My Father and Mother have passed. They taught me true music. Rhythm, harmony, and melody. Moody blues all of those. Thank you God for the gift of music .
The Moody Blues are able to touch my sentiments and make me weep for my past, but also fill me with the spiritual joy and ecstatic enthusiasm for the great Universe Adventure!
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
This song brings me back to high school and the woman that I imagined that I would be with....forever. I do wonder if she is happy and loved. I pray that she is. That is what she deserves.
It reminds me of a girl that stayed in school an extra year to get better grades, while I went to uni. She did get higher grades and went to UKC in Canterbury to study to be a teacher. This was over 40 years ago. I do wonder if you ever think about me in your wildest dreams, Christine. The girl in the video even looks a little bit like you.
I'm never sure how Justin Hayward gets into my head and puts it to music; he's been doing it for some 35 years now, both on his solo records and with the Moodies, and one he didn't write, "Forever Autumn". These guys belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and finally, they will be in 2018. You'll be there as well, Ray. Be at peace.
yup they deservely got the recognition and were inducted,made my year complete after Peru qualified to the World cup in soccer.Arriba Peru.Arriba Moody Blues.
This music from yesterday will NEVER equal the stuff that comes out today. To be a teenager then, was a lot better than being an adult today. Those days won't ever come back, but to be young then was WOW!!!!
My dad played this for me as a baby to get me to go to sleep, now I play it for my daughter before she goes to sleep. Music connects us through time.
Awesome!
super sweet
That's lovely for you to do Todd!
That's beautiful, man....
I'm sure you dad's there in spirit next your daughter singing along.
Guess what......I'm 64 and my daughter is 20 and she just love this music you have no idea.....
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 😊
This is one of the songs played at my husband's memorial. He loved the Moody Blues. It will always remind me of him. I miss him.

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.
Love know no age!
Wow sad read that. Stay strong
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?
Maybe you'll love again. Maybe not. But don't think you're too old. Somebody, somewhere, needs you!
It sounds like you had two great marriages. That makes me happy to hear. Bless you.
This was my best friend’s favorite song. He was my brother from another mother, my best man at my wedding and such a great guy. He just died yesterday at 34.
I hope you’re somewhere in the universe jamming to this, love you man.
May he rest in peace and you also find peace
i just lost my best friend and BIG brother......in june we had three songs this was one of them lost my friend
I pray they accepted JESUS and are wirh HIM.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

I'm here because this band was one of my dad's favorites. He sadly just passed away. This is for you dad.
taste in good music always are inherited
So sorry for your loss. Lost my dad last year too, but I know he's forever in my wildest dreams.
Same as my dad he died 2010
Once upon a time there was a band called the Moody Blues & they are still Great! In 2024
A long time ago still sounds good 👍
I've never seen a video of this song.
My God, the visual storytelling this video is ridiculously melancholy.
Maybe that hints at why I still love The Moody Blues
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
Sure

How beautiful ❤️
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 to both of you
Such a beautiful story! Thank you!!
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 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.
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.
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!
Moody Blues are timeless! Their music is still being played 50 years later!
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...
The HARMONY in this song is so beautiful. This, along with The Voice are my very FAVORITE tunes by the Moody Blues!
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🥰
This song replays memorys.
N-nani?
Lord yes!
Ohhhh Man, does it ever....

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.
Yes I've been listening to them since the 60s and I still love them
@@joefrisbey5252 you had and still have a great ear !
So close to 60 years of pleasure from the best band ever. Each decade something different. 👍
I’m 80, and I’m still listening to it! I only attended 1 concert in my life, and it was The Moody Blues, and they played and sang Your Wildest Dreams, and I still love it!
i'm 58. Been to a number of concerns and by far the Moodys was the best show out of all of them.
@@jdwyer4851 Like you, I have been to a lot of the concerts from "the very best" in rock from the 60s through the 80s. The Moodies put on the best musical production. Period. They didn't do any fancy lasers or big screen projections or dance numbers. They didn't do political rants. They just played their music and did not disappoint. Justin and John (guitar/vocals & bass/vocals for those who do not know) are still out there somewhere doing what they do best. Moody Blues forever.
I saw my first Moody Blues concert in 1968. Their music was set apart from the other bands of that era. Not acid rock or mindless lyrics. How many bands have been backed up by a complete orchestra? Still enjoying their music in 2024 as I did in 1968. Their music is timeless and unlike any other band.
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.
I was named after Justin Hayward. My dad loved this band. He died about 5 years ago. Before he passed, I asked him to let me know if he “made it there.”
He died at 8:04 am March 12. That night, I woke up from the most vivid dream, bawling my eyes out. My dad, looking much younger, was knelt down, listening to our old stereo system. This song was playing, dad looked at me and sang, I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me? Once upon a time in your wildest dreams.
He let me know he made it. I love you dad.
Our souls don't die...you will see your dad again...TRUST !!
❤
Thanks for sharing that, it really touched my heart! God bless
❤❤❤❤
I had a similar dream when my father passed into the spiritual realm.
Lost an old boyfriend to suicide, think of him every time I hear this song. Rest in peace ☮️ JLH, love you forever!
Yeah music takes you back
You didn’t lose him, you’ll see him on the other side !
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.

The universal language of emotion and memories...

Well put Brian
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
This is the national anthem of "lost" loves ...
So true.
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.
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
“ Oh Dear” how can something b this beautiful ?

Once upon a time, and never again, I’m afraid, will there ever be musicians and music as great as this.
I shared a bed with the most beautiful woman I ever knew in Huntsville one night. We sang this together in each other's arms. Every time I hear this song my mind races back to her. And my heart aches. I love you, Rachel.
Find her.
Yeah go find her never to late
Was she a hooker?
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.

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’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
I'm so sick of hearing people talking about "sparks" like it's a movie or a tv show or something. I'm constantly told that I'm not allowed to have that and shouldn't even want it and that my emotions are nothing and meaningless but then I see overdramatic people like you always talking about "sparks" like you're a fake character in a movie. Stop it. I'm never even gonna be allowed to LOOK at a woman!
Congrats to the Moody's finally making the Rockin Roll Hall of Fame 2018 'Bout dam Time!
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? ;)
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
It still brings back that same feeling for me, straight out of time😊❤❤❤
Once upon a time, there was great music like this.
Thank God for the Moody Blues.

No one can compete against Justin Hayward the moody blues best lead singer and songwriter

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.
Well Spoken !! There is no going back . ONWARD !!
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.
Me too 😢 painful
Me too….memories
I heard this in the grocery store the other day and the lyrics had me almost crying... it reminded me of me and my first love, who I still know to this day, who is a good man and married. I am happy for him, I don't want us back together (we have very different lives) but the bittersweet memories of our innocent youth and all the years since brought me here to listen again, and let the tears flow, remembering the joy and pain of first love. What a great song ♡ thanks Moody Blues ♡
Nobody cares.

@@audhdcreativity5899 I've never had anyone.

For now, I take care of my child and animals and try to make me a priority everyday so I can be here for them.
This one and "I know you're out there somewhere" were both 80s classics. How lucky we were to still have the Moody Blues contribute great songs to a great decade.
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 .........
This song tears at my heart because I have been there and still think about it 42 years later
Just got back with my true love of twenty-something years. Same scene as the video. ❤
Me too.
Stop counting the years, and let the tears finally sink in.
Me too. Mine was 52 years ago.
As a man I think we all have at one time or another...
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
No doubt 🎉this brings back memories
Moody Blues - one of the best, most creative groups around for coming up on 60 years. In my 70's now and still can't get enough of their music
They started something that is standard now, but at that time they were the first band ever, in Rock 'N'ROLL to be backed by the SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
As of early this morning, after almost 30 years of eligibility, the Moody Blues are being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of
Fame. About dang time!!!
Cool shit
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard... So many mixed emotions when I listen to this song
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. 🙏
We don't need to hear about how much s** you and your husband had in Niagara Falls.
In these cold dark days, listening to a few Moody Blues songs brightened up my morning 😊
This song will always make me think of my late husband, how I loved him and miss him...
Bless you Hope !
I hurt For you. God Bless and Keep you, Esperanza🙏
Hope, he was a lucky man to have such a woman as you. I hope your memories are always good ones.
I'm so sorry, don't worry, it's only temporary. We still love you, just keep plugging away and remember the good times, all of them !!!
It reminds me of the only man I ever truly loved...
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.
Nobody cares. I've never had anyone! Apparently everyone else has but I never will! Think I'm gonna end it all...
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....
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?

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...

Please accept my deepest condolences.
Nobody cares. You're just another privileged person who got married at 20 and then got remarried again right after you lost that one. I'm 42 and I've never had ANYONE and never will. So sick of people like you who get everything handed to them when I've deliberately had everything TAKEN from me before I could even have it!!!
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…
I know what you mean. I am married for 39 years and I still remember those days in the 80's. Such a simpler time when love was all we knew.
Love this forever
I don't know what happened, I let everyone but me run my life. I had this song and let him take her away
Nobody cares. I've never had anyone and never will.
In 1987 my wife died in a car crash. I was listening to this song when I heard the news. From then on, I would always drive on that road listening to this song on the radio and think of her. Please come back DEBORAH 💜

He was very sentimental old school dude. Miss him and we play music for the good memories ❤
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.
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.
Beautifully said 💯
@@Brownsugagal911 Exactly.
So true
I'm still friends with her, and still wonder about that sometimes.
A lot of us didn't have that. Stop assuming that everyone is exactly the same as you, you overprivileged cretin.
The Moody Blues were experts at stirring up your emotions.
That’s what makes art/music good!!
You're right.
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!
Agreed, hence their band name.
Agree.
.
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.
That's the magic of music. It can always take you back to a time and place.
My time machine too, I can be back at the skating rink or cruising with my friends or in Panama City Beach Florida partying with the twist of the dial, magic !
Yes! Absolutely well said!
71 years old and still love this kind of music
And don't forget one of their deep cuts,The Balance. From the album A Question of Balance. When I'm on my death bed I want to hear that song playing as I cross over to The Other Side. I be waiting for my partner Larry when he finally crosses over so we can be together again.
This song always brings a tear. Every single time. It’s amazing.
So many emotions from a time back when with unrequited love. Still tear up hearing this.
That romance that only exists in movies 💓😞
Yes!
70's and 80's were the best decades for music. Bands like Styx, Moody Blues, Triumph, Trooper, Boston, Prism, Journey just to name a few. Still playing on radio 📻 today.
It’s awesome a 60’s band could make a comeback like they did in the 80’s.

Not only a great song, but the video is well-deserving of the awards it won. It's a perfect blend of the song's story of lost love combined with a marvelous consciousness of where the Moodies had been and were when the song was released. Brilliant.
God bless Graham Edge this day. Your music will live on forever. I've been blessed with this music since the beginning. Yes I'm an old fart.
Yes Sir, you are correct. My Father and Mother have passed. They taught me true music. Rhythm, harmony, and melody. Moody blues all of those. Thank you God for the gift of music .
The Moody Blues are able to touch my sentiments and make me weep for my past, but also fill me with the spiritual joy and ecstatic enthusiasm for the great Universe Adventure!
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.
true love never dies
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
This song brings me back to high school and the woman that I imagined that I would be with....forever. I do wonder if she is happy and loved. I pray that she is. That is what she deserves.
It reminds me of a girl that stayed in school an extra year to get better grades, while I went to uni. She did get higher grades and went to UKC in Canterbury to study to be a teacher. This was over 40 years ago. I do wonder if you ever think about me in your wildest dreams, Christine. The girl in the video even looks a little bit like you.
@Shawn Wolff I can relate to this (Class of 86)
@@alunpalmer7337 This is heartbreaking!
just change to 1972 Moodys and that's me also! live and love
Lost love sucks. 😢😢💔 I wonder if he thinks about me…..in all his dreams.
When life gets too heavy i come here and listen to this happy song of a better time from the 80s. Peace ✌
I'm never sure how Justin Hayward gets into my head and puts it to music; he's been doing it for some 35 years now, both on his solo records and with the Moodies, and one he didn't write, "Forever Autumn". These guys belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and finally, they will be in 2018. You'll be there as well, Ray. Be at peace.
Yes!
yup they deservely got the recognition and were inducted,made my year complete after Peru qualified to the World cup in soccer.Arriba Peru.Arriba Moody Blues.
I've been a fan of the Moody Blues since 1972. Wonderful musicians. Synthesizer pioneers and story tellers.
1972 at the Spectrum in philly
Me, too, Karl!! Love The Moody Blues!! 💖💖💖
This music from yesterday will NEVER equal the stuff that comes out today. To be a teenager then, was a lot better than being an adult today. Those days won't ever come back, but to be young then was WOW!!!!
This is one of the reasons why back in our day we had The Moody Blues!💙🎶
