Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow (Official Video)

[@Juergen.Scheiblhofer]

I sat in the kitchen in the 80's as a kid, my headphones on, waiting for that guitar solo. It sent shivers down my spine and still does. Amazing 👏! What a song, just perfect.

[@areyouavinalaff]

I was just thinking while watching the previous video of this song how much I always liked it and that first solo, the one without distortion. So much to like about this song and I never really knew who it was until stumbling across Maggie's channel just now with a 2023 live version.

[@johnthursday4173]

yeah. it's the guitar solo...

[@rolandschweiger8678]

similar story (born 1970) in the early 80s i remember with the family being in some department store and i heard this title only faint out of the background easy listening "PA system" of the shopping center, and it caught me, i tried to filter out any other sound - for years did not know who it was but always greatly enjoyed the song and still do. Yet up to date i do not know what the lyrics actually mean (English is not my native language but there are so many other songs i fully understand, only here the lyrics give riddles) but never mind it's a beautiful title.

Mike Oldfield is very talented with the number of different instruments he can play, as well as great composing.

I was amazed that he played all the different parts himself, then the recordings were mixed together - very unusual in those days.

This song makes me go to fantasy worlds, I don't know why but for me is magical !

Maggie's voice takes me to strange and beautiful places and has done for the last 35 years, so I know exactly what you mean.

same for me,patricia

[@arturodelfabbro2634]

I totally agree . I ' ve always felt the same feeling .

[@pollymath2010]

Wonderful song, I never get tired of it! Also seeing Mike Oldfield in his early years is amazing, what a genius he was!

[@terrythekittieful]

Not was, still is. Needs more recognition.

[@simonjones8111]

His early years started in 1973 😂

[@claudianisipasu4014]

Masterpiece!!!!!

[@maxmigliorato1392]

I was a boy, playing in my grandparents garden in a hot summer many years ago, and I still remember this song playing on the radio.

[@v_i_r_u_s4579]

[@tiowny]

This song gives me great memories of a hot summer holiday in North Wales. A great pop song which has stood the test of time 😊

[@johndaartist5499]

We are like butterfly collectors, the memories from times long gone are the butterflies and the music from those times are like pins that hold them in position.

Mike never gets the credit for being, as well as a great all round musician but also a BRILLANT guitar player.

[@gerardy7500]

What a voice. One of my favourite song in the 80's and still listening it today except now, thanks to KZbin, we can also appreciate the video.

[@hyekang3850]

This song was used to be one of my favourite karaoke songs 15 years ago. Now I hear something different, "will you come to talk to me this night" this part and "she couldnt find how to push through" the last bit of this line. The voice sounds a little distressed..

[@TheSinnical]

Maggie Reilly looks and sounds like an angel. What a voice!

[@saintdave4980]

The personnel manager at my first job loved Mike Oldfield and told me he studied what makes a hit. Oldfield came up with this. My personnel manager said to me when I left "think of me when you hear Mike Oldfield ". A couple of years later he was found dead walking his dog in some woods. I always think of Keith Allen when I hear this and any other Oldfield track.

[@zoiperi4782]

That is sad :(

[@bluecloud5258]

There's something truly magical about old music like this......sadly,as a thirteen year old I was never alive to enjoy those times,but when I hear my friends talking about one direction and flicking miley Cyrus I think,wow am I lucky to know about this music!

[@Richard-jt2um]

you realise that 30 years ago people thought this particular track of Mike Oldfield was way to commercial and to heavily marketed. now I'm not comparing Oldfield to one direction or anything but truth be said, there's some really good music out there besides what you hear on the radio. your being 13, so not yet alive when this music was made is a strange statement, I wasn't alive when Carl Orff wrote carmina burana for instance but I'm glad I live in this day and age when music is just a mouseclick away, think about that :)

[@StraberrYKiler6789]

its probable that music companies purposefully flood the market with shit to increase the value of their back catalogues so they can increase the value of company property and therefore the company coverage of the mundane lives of celebrities are sold for more than music, music id mostly a gateway for the famouse for fame to promote them to sell shit controversy = free advertising piss off a bunch of prudes and the song will be on the news its an ass, its a tit GET OVER IT go to a porn site or get a hooker and just get it over with you're making them stronger try the newgrounds audio portal or bandcamp or soundcloud or some shit non-commercial songs have to compete on their content instead of their hype the low quality oldies are forgotten because nobody bothers to look for them unless there was something noteworthy about them. over 9000 comments all reading "i hate my generation" "OLD-SHIT records inc" stock up 17% "be sure to ship the "Justin's Greatest sHITS" before we sell our back catalogue of musicians that lay cold in the dust and we dont have to pay we will get more money because of the sales increase from disenfranchised teens who think there UNIQUE for listening to oldies every song EVER has an i hate my generation comment youre not so fucking special youre just surrounded by morons MUSICAL Dunning-Kruger effect

Music CAN be and IS categorised. In musicology. And music can be broken down into its constituent elements and analysed. "Pure music is music" is meaningless. But I can see what you're trying to say.

@@kinorspielmann4649 As another musicologist i can confirm your statement. Its definitly popular music. It has sing songwritters arrangements, but it is more complex in way of harmony and melody. so i would say, it is pop song with huge influnece of prog rock music. Prog pop maybe? :D
