[@areyouavinalaughisheavinal5328]

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.

I was teenager in the 80s. A very great time. Mike Oldfield is one of the best. The voice: Maggi Reilly is only can sing this song. Absolutly: Masterpiece.

This song is so special to me, this song and 'To France'. Maggie's voice is incredible, and so distinctive. I was only a child when this was released, but I am so thankful that I grew up through an era when music like this was released. I love how Mike uses historic references and tones in his music, he's an absolute genius.

[@jonharvey3676]

[@louise_rose]

Agree, beautiful recording and video. There's so much great musicianship here, Maggie's voice is perfect for this romantic ballad, and the visuals are a perfecr match (wow, that silky white dress!). The whole feels completely unforced, as soon as you hear it the song feels completely natural like a folk-song, even though it's actually not an easy one to play. I agree this kind of quality pop/rock music is sadly absent from the charts and radio waves these days.

In brief, heart-melting song ❤

[@Thorsten-Tom-Martin]

[Verse 1] The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on, worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a riddle that Saturday night Far away on the other side He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn't find how to push through [Verse 2] The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn't find how to push through [Chorus] I stay, I pray See you in Heaven, far away I stay, I pray See you in Heaven one day [Verse 3] Four A.M. in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars move slowly in the silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk to me this night? But she couldn't find how to push through [Chorus] I stay, I pray See you in Heaven, far away I stay, I pray See you in Heaven one day [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Far away on the other side Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through Carried away by a moonlight shadow Carried away by a moonlight shadow Far away on the other side But she couldn't find how to push through

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
