this version of the music still sends chills through me. glad to know others appreciate the opening to drama. the never ending novel...ATWT Thanks for all the postings!
Kim Hughes was such a great mother figure on this classic show! I miss the late great Kathryn Hays who played the role of the great Kim Hughes. Kathryn Hays, you are forever missed. RIP Kathryn Hays.

absolutely the BEST overall theme they EVER had! Elegant and befitting the grand dame of daytime. Many themes have their relevance. The 70's melodrama with that fake globe are iconic (though dated) and the modern 80's "star-warsy" theme with the three light sabers coming out was a personal favorite period for me--so I obviously have a soft spot for that one (though it prob doesn't really "fit" ATWT). The 2008 didn't really fit the show, though I like it. mid 90's was nice, but got stale.
So gorgeous and appropriate for a soap opera, especially one as traditional as As the World Turns. This is what I call a soap opera theme! Of course, none of the ATWT themes could ever best the orchestrated version of the original theme!
stylish, elegant, gorgeous, lush, vets besides newbies--this hit all the right notes! ATWT a sad imitation of itself. I feel so badly for those that made this job their life's work (Lisa, Nancy, Kim, Bob, even Margo and Tom, all the vets. Sob-Martha's Lily & Holden).
sad news to the as the world turns fans, actress helen wagner, the one who played the matriarch nancy hughes since 1956, has died on saturday. she was 91 years old.
This was also one of my favorite ATWT themes. This theme has more of the classic soap feel to it. As as one member wrote, it is very "befitting of the grand dame of daytime." The pictures of Kim, Bob and Lisa are fabulous. All have aged very well, as has Nancy - Helen Wagner - who is 91!
When I was a loser who dropped out highschool and probably had a GED and no "job" yet, I used to watch this religiously... I think it was everyday like 2pm or 230 pm lol .
OMG! I relate to you so much right now, that's when I started watching ATWT and other daytime soaps too. I dropped out of school and was watching stuff like this during the day before I had to get my GED. I bet you any money there's a lot of kids who dropped out like us that resorted to getting into daytime dramas back then. LOL!
@retrowarehouse2554 lol yea. I wasn't the weed smoking and drinking type of dropout, so I was just home mostly with my TV and eating up the food that my moms brought 😅. I don't think i even had a videogame... I was too broke...
@@soulofachristian8704 Same here bro lol I didn't do none of the weed smoking and drinking type stuff during the day to pass the time. I was at home watching my soaps, I had a job at the time where I worked evenings around 3-4 times a week. Normally, I watched the soaps before I got ready for work, and that's how I started my day. I was definitely freeloading off my moms. LOL! I wasn't getting paid much to buy video games. I didn't have cable at the time either, so I had to watch the local channels. I got fed up with the talk shows, and needed something different to watch, and I got addicted to the hot women on these soaps. LOL!
This and the original are my two favorite ATWT themes and visuals. This has such a classic soap feel to it.. It has such a wonderfully small town/hometown sound to it . . . very Oakdale-ish.
Yeah, and include Luke and Noah!! Goutman and the head writers were a shame, and CBS didn't give a damn, because they only wanted to get rid of their soaps. Now, they can watch General Hospital having DOUBLE the ratings in the key demo than the crappy talk show that replaced ATWT in the same time slot.
Does anyone happen to know the love theme for Jef & Emily? I will never forget it playing when they broke up & Jef packed his bags. Sounds likely to be an R&B/Soul ballad. I converted it to MP3, but am clueless to the artist & song title. Google search has become a dead end & no online outlets to make an inquiry. Jef was one of my favorite characters & handled Dani's crush on him rather well & delicately. I wish he & Emily had a more successful relationship. He was great for her.
This & Jelinda's Theme were ATWT's greatest themes IMO. And Alyson Rice (Connor #1), Elena Goode (Jade #1), Sherry Alexander (Samantha #2), Chris Fuller (Jef), Ashley Williams (Dani) should have stayed on for years. They were some of the greatest in the show. I also loved Martha Byrne (Lily #1), of course, Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily) & Maura West/
Nancy, Holden, Lucinda, and Jack WERE the STARS of this show....so irritating that they get hardly any screen time in this intro compared to the newbies.
news flash, news flash! as the world turns is coming to an end in september 2010 after 54 years. the network axed the long running soap opera. we will miss as the world turns.
dbrooks, it's the truth. i read it online a few days ago, and they said that on september 17, 2010, as the world turns will be airing it's final episode. i'm still in shock over this. the real reason why cbs axed the soap opera is because of falling ratings, and hardly nobody watching as the world turns anymore. so yes, my friend, i am VERY serious about this.
brendacindy, i hope as the world turns don't get cancelled, either. it's nice that their ratings are finally picking up, i just they don't decide to pull the damn plug.
I liked when they first premiered this new theme song and you got a tease of the first seconds of the song in the last scene before they cut away to the full theme. I would like to see that posted.
Yeah me too im 19 now but my dad made me do something else when it was time to watch As The World Turns and I always hated the show because of that cause I was on the TV🤣 but now its nostalgic as hell
Everything about this opening made our afternoon bright; that was when the show came on at 2PM
I miss the dark CBS logo on the right side of the screen that was my childhood days until 2008 when the logo itself changed from dark to light.
I woke up from many an afternoon nap to this during the college days. Love this intro and the ones from the 80's and 90's.
this version of the music still sends chills through me. glad to know others appreciate the opening to drama. the never ending novel...ATWT Thanks for all the postings!
Man I miss as the world turns this was the best theme song and soap miss it ode❤
This version is, by far, my favorite of the ones since the spinning globe versions of the 70s and 80s.
Oh how I miss As The World Turns. Can't stand that gab fest, The Talk, or brainless game shows.
what bout the price is right
I'm so with you on your comment. Daytime television today simply stinks. Bring back ATWT and GL please!!
AS THE W🌎RLD TURNS

This show was very popular 12 years ago (I’m 24 now, gonna be 25)
I miss As The World Turns too!

really miss this show smh best ever
A classy opening.
I don't prefer this tune over the other one, but this opening is special. Look at Margo,omgosh she looks gorgeous! This is nice.

i love this one. i'm glad so many people posted videos of it. kinda wish i had the sheet music for it.
🙏 KIM . WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND REMEMBER .

I miss ATWT. The Talk sucks, as does their game shows. TeleNext was a joke.
luv it n miss this show so much
I think this opening was my favorite amongst them all.
Brad Brooks mines too

I love this version. It is my all time favorite. I do hum it too, actually (:
So many soap opera legends

As the world turns the daytime soap opera of all time on CBS
Helen wagoner should've been featured first.
Am I the only person that liked to quiz myself with the characters names when the music sped up 😂
They had to take the best soap off the air, I'm so upset because Carly was my girl

I love As The World Turns Tv Show Soaps
I really like this opening! Awesome!!🌎
82 - 93 was great opening
This is my favorite ATWT theme out of all of them!

Jef was one of my favorite characters & handled Dani's crush on him rather well & delicately.
I wish he & Emily had a more successful relationship. He was great for her.

My stepmom always watched this when I came home from school! Nostalgia!!!
Loved this show as a kid. Didn’t fully understand all the adult themes. But loved the theme.
I liked when they first premiered this new theme song and you got a tease of the first seconds of the song in the last scene before they cut away to the full theme. I would like to see that posted.
Yeah, I like this tune better... Yeah, I hum this tune sometimes when I am at work..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, good ole nostalgia. Although sooner or later Nostalgia Critic's gonna review this XD
These were the good days of CBS Daytime but too bad it’s not the same after As The World Turns ended it’s run.
I used to see this intro when I was little (I'm 14 now)!
Now I’m 18. Time really flies.
I used to love that opening
Yeah me too im 19 now but my dad made me do something else when it was time to watch As The World Turns and I always hated the show because of that cause I was on the TV🤣 but now its nostalgic as hell
no no it cant end it has so much history in it 54 years wow
I used to watch this show with my mom all the time, those were the days.
15 years wow ❤❤
they should have never been taken off. was the best soap opera of all time
love this opening.
Dusty was so georgeous!
Agreed! I'd make out with him for hours, with that face.
this is the best theme of all

i dont like "as the world turns" because it implies a non-flat earth
The whole news report opening was starting to grow on me(I've been watching the show for over a year now), but I really don't get the new opening.
I think I can now understand why Paul Thomas Anderson made Magnolia -_-
Imagine if this was the opening to an anime
