The greatest singer/songwriter of my age. Perhaps of all ages. Justin lives and breathes his music. He sings and plays from the soul...I thank God for for Justin Hayward...for making my life so much brighter in a sometimes cold, dark, uncertain world.
I have had the pleasure of having the Moody blues change my Outlook on life. 6 concerts. Two with Atlanta synophny there as well. Ranging from 1990 to the 50th anniversary at St Augustine. So happy they finally made it to the rock n roll Hall of Fame. thanks guys well done!
I've heard this song probably thousands of time since 1996. I never get tired of hearing it. I must say this one is another masterpiece by Justin Hayward.
Only just recently heard this song. I'm 53 amd 10 yrs ago my life became a do over. My life has been richer and full of love and I'm learning so much with my many losses and new beginnings. This song takes you through your life and all its emotions. I hope one day, when I'm gone from this earth that these words will comfort those who knew and loved me. Till then it comforts me and gives me hope of a long enriched life. Peace and love to you all.
I've been listening to Justin and the Moody Blues forever, but Justin is my favourite and all his solo albums too. I bought two copies of moving mountains in case the first copy wore out!
I TRULY FEEL US MOODY BLUES/JUSTIN HAYWARD fans are of a kindred spirit. he is the soundtrack of our lives. his music and our love for it is non partisan, color blind, never gender specific. i conceived all my children with his music playing softly. when i met my husband first thing he said is "we have nothing in common if you are not a moody blues fan"
Whenever you listen to the Moody Blues, you just know there has to be a god! This track is one of the finest songs Justin has ever written and recorded.
Justin is a true artist and a poet... He has such a beautiful voice, like angel's singing.... He sings of my teen years so many feelings of warmth and love.... You are the most gifted ✍️✍️✍️ writer, ever!!!! I am listening to you everyday.... 💙💙💙... 🌹🌹🌹...
Somewhere there's children playing, somewhere far away Running with open arms to greet me I feel so much emotion when he sings that - sadly gorgeous song - one of his best
The Moody Blues are my favourite band, but Justin has always been my favourite Moody, in my opinion the best songwriter, singer/guitarist on the planet. I have all his solo albums and every song is pure magic. Broken Dream is my favourite song of all-time, not just from Justin, from anyone in the universe.
Justin allows himself to be vulnerable....and its beautiful...been a fan since beginning of 70's.. what a beautiful human being...We are so fortunate to be able to share what is in his heart...his soul...
A legend for eternity! I am so glad to have lived through a time with the moodiness and their music throughout my life! I introduced the Moodies to my mom when I was introduced to their music by my 8th grade English literature teacher in 1979. Their music has been my go to during stressful days. All that stress just melts away while listening to them.
My very first boyfriend turned me on to The Moody Blues in 1970...every time I hear them, I am back there with him, laughing, being teenagers and in love. (he passed away in 1979) so this makes them even more special to me.
Hayward is the Leonardo Da Vinci Of music. How the hell does he continually come up with songs that make you well up with emotion? No other artist except for maybe Jon Anderson has managed to do this to me. This song brings me to tears from the first verse. A truly gifted human being.
I continue to be touch and moved over and over for 30 years by this man. His message of loves certainty gives hope and light to a weary world. I am so thankful.
One more illusion shattered, one more broken dream Oh that the morning brings the sun Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again See how the tears flow down like sweet summer rain Where does it leave me now? I find myself so free again Even the smallest traces of your sweet perfume Open the floodgates and I'm helpless Now as the moonlight shadows, cast across my room Only the whispered words are heard in the night Only a silent prayer, I love you still, I always will Out of the dark I stumbled, into the light Only my fear has tumbled, I think I always knew That I would run to you Somewhere there's children playing, somewhere far away Running with open arms to greet me Over the hill the sunset dies and fades away I turn and I close the door with one last goodbye I will return no more, I'll take my heart and let it fly Songwriters David Justin Hayward Published by WB MUSIC CORP.

@@williamrhinehart1095 Oh so true! I feel the same about them - and it seems we all do. How gifted Justin Hayward is - and I also feel that NO ONE can come near to how their beautiful music moves me in such a way that brings tears. God has truly blessed Justin Hayward.....
I have all Justin's solo albums as well as all the Moody's albums. This song is his best one...bar none. It always rips my heart out. So much beauty and sadness. Thank you Justin for all the beautiful music. You are immortal.
Going to see him in London tomorrow evening at the Union Chapel and I really hope he sings this beautiful and haunting song! I love it..xx Update: He did sing it and the entire set was wonderful, including talking to the lovely Julie afterwards. xxx
@@wiliamrolls7834 since I have never met you, nor do I subscribe to your channel, none of your business! Geez, you can't even comment on your favorite artist's video without some guy trying to get in there, grow up Loser!
I have been a Moodies fan since 1968, and have been in love with Justin for all that time. I have only just discovered this song. It is possibly the most gorgeous song he's ever written. Justin sings with such emotion. Not a day goes by when I don't have the Moodies playing. I feel privileged to have seen them live several times, and also Justin, with Mile and Julie. Fab!!!!!!
Another wonderful song from an Icon singer and song writer.Never get tired of his voice.Moody Blues will live on long after we all lived our Dreams along with our favorite bands.🥰💕❤️
A world without Justin Hayward, Leonard Cohen or Roger Waters is not a world in which I want to live. Tell me who will hold our dreams when they are gone. Who will care about fighting injustice and cruelty with the beauty of words? Who will make us cry and feel in a world of computer screens?
Wonderful video Lisa. I am still touched by the Moodies and Justin keeps creating, writing and performing. He and his comrades and their music have made me enjoy their music over 50 years...and still counting. I only wish he, John and Graham would get together again. Miss you Ray.
Very sentimental song-the guitar and Hayward's voice are so soothing,that you are at peace with yourself.I wish the Moody Blues era would return-they were one of the best progressive rock bands of the 20th century!
I am glad!!! I knew you would love it!!! Justin Hayward is my favorite singer/songwriter. His guitar playing is amazing. He is also a member of The Moody Blues whom I've seen dozens of times in concert!
I think its passion and the gift he always has, even touring still for the fans around the world with the Moody`s shows how much he cares , the music will always live on!
This has got to be one of the five best songs of all time. The fact that Justin Hayward is involved should surprise no one. Excellent video. Excellence all around.
I have always loved the 1975 album "the Blue Jays" as Hayward was the composer of all of the best of the Moody Blues....had a musical hiatus in my life and I just learned of this 1996 album....I must have it!!! the voice, the lush instrumentals....it takes me back to a much simpler time in my life when I still thought everything was new, bright and shiny
still going strong at 72, guitar playing still top notch and adding carmen as floutist to go along with mike and julie just adds to the experience. homage to his lost buddy Ray.
Such a stunningly gorgeous song, saw Justin do this in San Juan Capistrano when he did his solo tour for View. I've always wished he would've gone on TV and promoted this cd, all he had to do was go on Leno and sing this and Way of the World and the album would've been a smash and received the recognition it deserved. But we all know how special it was. I love singing this song, such a beautiful vocal.
Justin, you are the vision in my life. I could not be the person I am without you. I wish you could know the journey I have been on and all the things you mean to me. Thank you
I believe this has to be the most beautiful song in the entire world. Nothing has ever touched my heart like this song and it is indescribable the feelings it brings. Thanks RetroLisa for your beautiful video. It's lovely!
Since my last post I haven't been able to stop listening to this song! It has stirred my love for Justin Haywards genius, which I've known since they started, and at this moment in my life this song speaks to me loud and clear. Such a tender love song set to such a haunting melody - :'-( I end up in tears every time I listen to it but then tears are healing aren't they. Many thanks to Retrolisa for this gift.♥.
Omg what a voice and what lovely man Justin is too such romantic music I just love love love along with all his beautiful videos of sunsets etc wow xx ❤
I adore this song! I love Justin Hayward. This song goes really deep for me and it's what inspired me to learn to paly guitar, just to be able to play that riff.
The melody and arrangement of this song is pure genius
The most beautiful song ever. The whoe record is perfect. Thank you Justin.
There will never be another person like you. Your a gift from God. How blessed are we all to have been able to hear you play.

J'ai l'âge de Justin. Je me lasse pas d'écouter ses merveilleuses chansons depuis 50 ans....
salut l'artiste !
I don't know how many times I've said Thats the most beautiful song Justin ever wrote! How much I love his stories he tells of love.
Justin Hayward is undoubtedly one of the world's finest songwriters. His songs are timeless.
а кто еще остался из группы?
People write out the words which is nice but Justin always sings so clean you know what he saying. Love this mans music
Rarely do I not get a word. Rarely
I've heard this song probably thousands of time since 1996. I never get tired of hearing it. I must say this one is another masterpiece by Justin Hayward.
I have too. I never tire of his voice. this is a truly beautiful song.
Likewise...
Gone are the days when i could bounce back again! Very powerful and deeply moving sentiment. Love this song. 01/24
❤ one of the most haunting melodies, with so many heartfelt words . Beautiful ❤️
One of the world’s greatest songwriters.
Indeed he is....

I feel the same way.
Very well said.
Classic Justin Hayward. Such a beautiful song
been listening to him (moody blues) since the 60's i need say no more
I've been listening to Justin and the Moody Blues forever, but Justin is my favourite and all his solo albums too. I bought two copies of moving mountains in case the first copy wore out!
I was fortunate enough to see them in concert at the Baltimore Civic center in 1971! PHENOMENAL!
I TRULY FEEL US MOODY BLUES/JUSTIN HAYWARD fans are of a kindred spirit. he is the soundtrack of our lives. his music and our love for it is non partisan, color blind, never gender specific.
i conceived all my children with his music playing softly.
when i met my husband first thing he said is "we have nothing in common if you are not a moody blues fan"
AMEN!
Whenever you listen to the Moody Blues, you just know there has to be a god! This track is one of the finest songs Justin has ever written and recorded.
You are spot on! Yes - they sang heavenly and beautiful songs - unsurpassed
Just a magical song.A late night cruiser if ever I heard one.Rog.Pacific Sunset Records.
This beautiful heart breaking song is a masterpiece on every possible level.
How can 7 people not like this?
insane, eh?
justaskinbag Probably X factor or Justin Beiber fans- very poor taste indeed
They probably didn't like it, because it made them cry.
I'm only now digesting all of Justin's solo work. I'm helplessly addicted. This song brings me to tears. Damnit!
I consider this a master piece. Turn on the loop and while I sleep away in the night never to wake up. Thanks for this amazingly sung song.
🙏🙏🙏😇🤗💞
Justin is such a special gift to all of us!

Somewhere there's children playing, somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
I feel so much emotion when he sings that - sadly gorgeous song - one of his best
agreed Patti - and there are so many to choose from!

@@rosemaryscott9704 Exactly Rosemary - I love this man. God has gifted him with such a beautiful voice and soul. He is beautiful in every way.
My wife and I were not able to have kids so that line is by far the one that rips my heart out the most. His best song....by far.
Utterly beautiful song. Wonderful voice and video.
I can't think of a sadder or more beautiful song...ever. If you aren't moved by this...then you haven't lived long enough or hard enough.
A legend for eternity! I am so glad to have lived through a time with the moodiness and their music throughout my life!
I introduced the Moodies to my mom when I was introduced to their music by my 8th grade English literature teacher in 1979.

@@originaloldfashionedtarot sorry for your loss. xx
@@cafeesotericaradiohostesss3983 Hello friend, how are you doing today???
Keep Justin Hayward with us. ❤This music that can't ever be again repeated.As sad and true as this song is,I will listen forever.
Seriously beautiful, Justin! You're still the man!
Hayward is the Leonardo Da Vinci Of music. How the hell does he continually come up with songs that make you well up with emotion? No other artist except for maybe Jon Anderson has managed to do this to me. This song brings me to tears from the first verse. A truly gifted human being.
An absolutely fabulous song, as is many, many of their songs over the years. One of my favorite groups.
Makes me almost cry every time I hear this song.
No special reason.
Simply beautiful.
PURE BEAUTY IN VOICE & LYRICS. JUSTIN , TRUELY BEST SINGER & SINGWRITER EVER ❤
I continue to be touch and moved over and over for 30 years by this man.
His message of loves certainty gives hope and light to a weary world. I am so thankful.
Beautiful song Justin has an amazing talent for writing & singing amazing songs, I listen to him every day.
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you for keeping hope alive in many. 💗😇
ANOTHER HEAVENLY SONG...
BRILLIANT....🙏😇💞🇬🇧
Absolutely mesmerising. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
One more illusion shattered, one more broken dream
Oh that the morning brings the sun
Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again
See how the tears flow down like sweet summer rain
Where does it leave me now?
I find myself so free again
Even the smallest traces of your sweet perfume
Open the floodgates and I'm helpless
Now as the moonlight shadows, cast across my room
Only the whispered words are heard in the night
Only a silent prayer, I love you still, I always will
Out of the dark I stumbled, into the light
Only my fear has tumbled, I think I always knew
That I would run to you
Somewhere there's children playing, somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
Over the hill the sunset dies and fades away
I turn and I close the door with one last goodbye
I will return no more, I'll take my heart and let it fly
