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.
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
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.
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
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
@@catonthemoon2084 You took the words right out of my mouth...I absolutely LOVE "BOSTON" and just like the Moody Blues this AWESOME band also has it's own unique sound... It's just a DAMN SHAME they aren't in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME YET...The RRHOF is a complete SHAM...
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?
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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 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 remember when this video came out in the 80s, and I thought the 60’s flashback scenes seemed like generations ago. But now that it’s 2024, I realize that it’s only 20 years between the 60s and the 80s, and that short passage of time goes by so fast.
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.
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.
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.❤
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
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!
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…
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.
@@Samdoesstuff978 It was great. New music was being released almost every day and then some. So much fun. Appreciate being young. Once it's gone, it's gone.
@@stevenrobert8567 Yeah , well sorta gone. The moody blues made music that deserves to be preserved for centuries but in the scale of history they've been overshadowed by the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana , Radiohead Ect. (Despite being better than all of them IMO) but they absolutely deserve to be remembered till the end of music.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 ❤️
When I was in high school, I fell in love with a beautiful girl. Eventually we broke up for several reasons and though we both married other people, I could never forget her and I still loved her. Every time I heard this song, I would think of her and wondered if she ever thought about me too. It turns out that she did; she too never forgot me and she was still in love with me. 40 years later, we found each other again. She is just as beautiful today as she was when she was 16 and we both promised to never lose each other again.
This is beautiful. I'm 38- when I was 13 or 14, I had a job and bought tickets to Moody Blues for my dad's bday at a local theater. Awesome. I also know how it feels to fall in love forever, despite circuitous paths- I was 16 as well- and know how pure and true and unmatched that can ever be. It makes my heart happy to know that, you, an internet stranger, refound the love of your life. Wishing you both happiness ❤
I lost contact with a girl when I was 14 all cuz of what the scumbag school did to me and expelled me for something I never did, It such a damn long time ago over 30+ years ago but now I'm getting these emotional feelings again for her and I dreamed about her again and I've no idea how to find her again as I never got her name, Everything back when I was 14 happened so fast without me having a chance and not being so shy, I feel bad about not going out with her and she asked me to hold her hand and I stupidly never did, I type all this with such a heavy heart Do you think I can find her again just like you did with the girl you knew long ago? The worst think is that I didn't get her name but I wonder why I've dreamed about her after all this time again? I hope somehow it's no coincidence that maybe she's thinking about me too I've never cried so much
When your young YOU LOOK FORWARD when you get OLDER you look back WHEN YOUR OLD- you can’t look forward and it hurts to look back because it’s gone! This music beautiful but sad
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!
I like your comment. Obviously I do not know your thoughts but I to have a deep love for the Moody Blues. I have seen them countless times in the Phila area.Its hard to put into words. I think you know what I mean.
@Sans No need to be rude... Just because You know jojo it doesn't mean everyone should know what is Jojo, And in fact, You would not even be here if Araki didn't use this band name as a reference.. There are many Actual True fans of The Moody Blues and not just a weeaboo checking in like you...
And I reminisce about mine in the late sixties through the seventies -- kind of the tail end of the era depicted in this video. I was just a kid, but I remember.
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
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 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!!!
This song brought my one true love back to me after 23 years apart and we are still and always be together in this life and for all eternity. Thank you, Moody Blues.
Glad to see some have rekindled old loves from years ago. I myself have waited since 1973 but I know in my heart it will probably never happen. If it did words could never express how I would feel. Think of her every day and this song just brings back the memories of the one that still holds my heart after 45 years. I wonder if she still remembers once upon a time.
I can relate. Though not via this song, my fiancee is the same woman was engaged to 38 years ago, + a couple more by now. God Bless, pray for you happiness in a sad world!!!.
Janet Smith This song got me off my miserable butt and made me look up my HS sweetheart. We had been apart for 8 years. We have now been married about 30. I owe these guys a ton. This song gave me my Girl and My life back.
Absolutely true. I always ask myself, "Where did the time go"? It is funny as you grow old. You start remembering your life so vividly. I can not remember what I had for lunch yesterday. For some reason I can remember experiences from 50 years ago. It is like a slide show. I enjoy the show.
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 💜
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.
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.
This song is about how life passes us all so quickly. At the moment we don’t realize how those past times would be so appreciated later in life. Life seems to be only memories of what has past. Why is it that the past always seems better than the present? Just another mystery in life that no answer can be found. Dream on, keep those memories close.
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.
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 !
Once upon a time...the 80s actually happened, but I swear it seems like a dream, it's so far removed from the world we know today.
Yes….❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺

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.

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.

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.
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.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying the moody blues is one of the greatest bands of all time!
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.
No. You're not alone. There are millions of us who think the same thing!
Yes. The best!!
You most definitely are not alone in that.
@@reshpeck Cool. I have 5 sons. #2 is named for Justin Hayward. His mom did not know what was up when I told her I wanted to name him Justin.
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!
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!!
This song replays memorys.

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
How refreshing. Not one mention of a big ass or an obvious lack of musical talent we have in today's music.
Screamingggg 😂😂😂. So true!
It all changed for the worse. And "All good things come to an end, sadly.
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.
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.
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...
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.
This is the national anthem of "lost" loves ...
So true.
Am 68yrs and still listening to this great music in July of 2024
me too .... tears of the past ... tomorrow i become 70 ....in the wildest area in north-sweden
63......
And yes....great music!

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 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

You didn’t lose him, you’ll see him on the other side !
An Argentine Progrock songwriter I adore wrote, "Those who can't take it no more just let themselves go."
I remember when this video came out in the 80s, and I thought the 60’s flashback scenes seemed like generations ago. But now that it’s 2024, I realize that it’s only 20 years between the 60s and the 80s, and that short passage of time goes by so fast.
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.
❤❤❤
praying a peaceful and painless transition to be with your love..🙏
What about your wife? You love her?
@@Dakota-xi6cgI know, was thinking the same lmao
😔😔😔😔bless your journey
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😊❤❤❤
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.
Agreed. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Long gone are the days we thought we would be young, innocent, and optimistic for the future🥰❤💐🎶🎶🎶💐💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

@@Thunderstixx77 what??
This song and Don't You Forget About Me give me this sinking feeling of just wanting to go back to a better time and knowing I can't.
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 !!
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.
YOU HAVE SUMMED THAT UP TO PERFECTION, I ONLY SEE MY EX GIRL FRIENDS, AS THEY WERE BACK IN THE DAY !!!!!!
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
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...
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 love this song so much, it feels like I’m replaying events from my past whenever I hear it:)
Lmao also donutted

Moody Blues are timeless! Their music is still being played 50 years later!
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.
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...
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....
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. 👍

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 ?
Rythmn git myself Chord and melody Sing it 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.
Wow! What an experience you had.....thanks for sharing🥰
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.
Once upon a time, there was great music like this.
Thank God for the Moody Blues.

Indeed. I wish I could see her again. ❤
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?
Go for it, if this isn't about an old flame I don't know what is.
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 don't have words to define this beautiful piece. Nothing to add or take out. It touches every nerve of my living years.
The universal language of emotion and memories...
God bless you ~
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 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.

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.

@@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 them in Saint Louis Mo I wonder if my old boyfriend every thinks anoyt me😢❤

The HARMONY in this song is so beautiful. This, along with The Voice are my very FAVORITE tunes by the Moody Blues!
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.
Once upon a time, and never again, I’m afraid, will there ever be musicians and music as great as this.
Back in the day when musicians were actually artists. My younger days.
I am 71 now. These were great times.
Glory days
63 and hell, yeah.
When I was in high school, I fell in love with a beautiful girl. Eventually we broke up for several reasons and though we both married other people, I could never forget her and I still loved her. Every time I heard this song, I would think of her and wondered if she ever thought about me too. It turns out that she did; she too never forgot me and she was still in love with me. 40 years later, we found each other again. She is just as beautiful today as she was when she was 16 and we both promised to never lose each other again.
What s beautiful love story most of us can only dream about. You are blessed indeed.
This is beautiful. I'm 38- when I was 13 or 14, I had a job and bought tickets to Moody Blues for my dad's bday at a local theater. Awesome. I also know how it feels to fall in love forever, despite circuitous paths- I was 16 as well- and know how pure and true and unmatched that can ever be. It makes my heart happy to know that, you, an internet stranger, refound the love of your life. Wishing you both happiness ❤
That's awesome.. You were thinking of her because she was thinking of you first. Some people have that bond and it can endure your entire life.
I lost contact with a girl when I was 14 all cuz of what the scumbag school did to me and expelled me for something I never did, It such a damn long time ago over 30+ years ago but now I'm getting these emotional feelings again for her and I dreamed about her again and I've no idea how to find her again as I never got her name, Everything back when I was 14 happened so fast without me having a chance and not being so shy, I feel bad about not going out with her and she asked me to hold her hand and I stupidly never did, I type all this with such a heavy heart
Do you think I can find her again just like you did with the girl you knew long ago?
The worst think is that I didn't get her name but I wonder why I've dreamed about her after all this time again? I hope somehow it's no coincidence that maybe she's thinking about me too
I've never cried so much
You are a lucky man.
When your young YOU LOOK FORWARD
when you get OLDER you look back
WHEN YOUR OLD- you can’t look forward and it hurts to look back because it’s gone!
This music beautiful but sad
Ain't it the truth.
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!
I owe my whole life to the Moody Blues. It's so hard to explain. I love you all.
I like your comment. Obviously I do not know your thoughts but I to have a deep love for the Moody Blues. I have seen them countless times in the Phila area.Its hard to put into words. I think you know what I mean.
no need to explain!

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
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.
@James-if3kc you cared enough to comment ♡ no worries, I won't tell anyone 😉
@@audhdcreativity5899 I've never had anyone.
I've never had anyone.
@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.
Araki have a godly taste in music.
Damn...
Oh yes
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...
Barn Cat recordar es bueno

Bless.your heart
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!!!
The greatest Rock Band in History! I am honored and privileged to have lived and witness the Moody Blues
I saw then a dozen times ... from CA to WI to MD to FL. 69-94
@@chipsramek3868 I grew up on their music
When life gets too heavy i come here and listen to this happy song of a better time from the 80s. Peace ✌
This song brought my one true love back to me after 23 years apart and we are still and always be together in this life and for all eternity. Thank you, Moody Blues.
That is great to hear! Impressive
Janet - I am listening to this song because I am meeting my one true love tomorrow - after 27 years apart. Love your comment.
Glad to see some have rekindled old loves from years ago. I myself have waited since 1973 but I know in my heart it will probably never happen. If it did words could never express how I would feel. Think of her every day and this song just brings back the memories of the one that still holds my heart after 45 years. I wonder if she still remembers once upon a time.
I can relate. Though not via this song, my fiancee is the same woman was engaged to 38 years ago, + a couple more by now. God Bless, pray for you happiness in a sad world!!!.
Janet Smith This song got me off my miserable butt and made me look up my HS sweetheart. We had been apart for 8 years. We have now been married about 30. I owe these guys a ton. This song gave me my Girl and My life back.
Don't blink...life will pass you by.
James Peters Absofuckinglutely!!!#
So true!
Truly it will.
Absolutely true. I always ask myself, "Where did the time go"? It is funny as you grow old. You start remembering your life so vividly. I can not remember what I had for lunch yesterday. For some reason I can remember experiences from 50 years ago. It is like a slide show. I enjoy the show.
In a HEARTBEAT
Absolutely BRILLIANT. The Moodies were in a class of their own
@rnstoo 1...and they STILL are!! One of a kind. Stand-alone epic.
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 💜
Sounds like you want to torture yourself.
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.
Magical song from a magical time to be a young twenty year old!
As opposed to an old 20 year old?
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.
R.I.P Mike Pinder, thank you🥰
Ya RIP 😞😞
this is 1986 after Pinders time with the blues
He was in the revamped MBs long after the original blues band & had great input in the new band with writing
Deeply pained by his loss....
The world is less bright now that he is gone.
I think Mike is doing great and went on to a better world.
I can still remember when i used to play this song when i was only 15..now i'm 53 and still listening to it..
Me too, my friend!😍❤
lol same here 42 tho
Real love music from the 80s will always be the best
I THINK IF OUR CHILDREN HAD THIS MUSIC, NO CELL PHONES, TABLETS ETC, THEY WOULD HEAR WHAT A REAL ARTIST SOUNDS LIKE.!
Totally agree, the real question is can some of this be reversed? I hate to be cynical but I don't think so. Sad.
I do agree with you.
Unfortunately yes l agree
This song is about how life passes us all so quickly. At the moment we don’t realize how those past times would be so appreciated later in life. Life seems to be only memories of what has past. Why is it that the past always seems better than the present? Just another mystery in life that no answer can be found. Dream on, keep those memories close.
Luv moody blues . And Justin on his own music legends
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.
It’s awesome a 60’s band could make a comeback like they did in the 80’s.
Like The Kinks
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 And The Rolling Stones.
The Moodies hit out of the stadium with this Masterpiece….it never ends
O Dear
At 50, this song hits so hard
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!
