todos los temas de mike oldfield son increiblemente buenos y actuales, mejores que lo que se escuchan en cualquier parte, excelente letra, interpretacion vocal, y que decir de su guitarra, son verdaderos clásicos, que resaltan aun mas conforntandolos con el panorama actual de la musica
Muy buena.Soy el primer "comentarista" y me sorprende. Esto está entre lo mejor de Olfield, la guitarra es fantástica.Sonó mucho en los 80, que fué su época dorada. Un tema que no envejece.
yo tambien me sorprendo de no ver más comentarios de esta fantástica canción de Mike, uno más de los buenos temas que ha hecho uno de los mejores músicos de la historia.
I believe that version is far better. Hall and Oats add an extra line about him getting his courage up. For me that changes the whole track we can believe that he kept his will and resisted temptation. Hall and Oats had him lose his will which puts a different slant on the track I don’t like.
My personal opinion is that this is the best Mike Oldfield's single, even better than Moonlight Shadows which is considered his best solo single ever. Para mi éste es el mejor sencilllo de Mike Oldfield, mejor de Moolight Shadows que se considera como su mejor single de siempre.
Alex Colinas I will disagree. Mike is a self taught genius composer, song writer doesn't even begin to describe his self taught mastery of so many instruments. Maggie sings - period. She hardly gets in the groove for what she's singing & holds back on vocals too. She had a place in the evolution, but is in NO WAY " Mike Oldfield" she was just one (1) of his many instruments/tools. Is Gabriel's Oboe Ennio Morriconi? No way. You get my point. If not you're an idiot.
I don't mean to offend anybody, but virtually none of the M. O. Aficionados I know considers 'Moonlight Shadow' his best single. If it has to be the Eighies, then perhaps 'To France' or maybe 'Shadow on the Wall' (with Roger Chapman) or in fact 'Family Man'. But most of them prefer the Seventies Oldfield to the Eighties one. (sorry if I can't do it in Spanish)
I think if i would learn to make a music i thik could be important to genere a good humour. Perhaps the man could to present friends and he has a good friends and familiars happies. I observed this style of men near to me.
I heard in other time if i was writer i could change the lyrics and make it a family man or woman more simpathic or funny to present and have a friends. I observed the 2 styles of person (m,w). Aún no he encontrado esposo y he visto este tipo de comportamiento mi entorno hace años, y en la actualidad veo que en algunos sitios hay desconfianza a las personas del otro género salvo en ambientes muy amistosos.
Refuse to compare this version to Hall and Oates. This really rocks. Hall and Oates sucks compared with this one. Moonlight Shadow is the most incredible song from M.O. M.O songs quality are that great that maybe is almost impossible to determine which is better than the other.
OMG, this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard . the Hall and Oates version is good, but this is incredible. A Perfect pop song.

The tone of his guitar solo, this "treble" "distortion wah wah" is fantastic here. It seems the guitar is really screaming from his soul!.
one of the best songs of the decade totally! He nailed this one! :)

In my H+O playlist with their cover. Thanks for the upload!
Oldfield Art...Hall and Oates Pop.
One of the best songs of Mike.80s UP
I believe that version is far
better. Hall and Oats add an extra line about him getting his courage up. For me
that changes the whole track we can believe that he kept his will and resisted temptation.
Hall and Oats had him lose his will which puts a different slant on the track I
don’t like.
I thought so too
Once i bought a newspaper in Sweden and what did i see Mike Oldfield hade an letter that he was looking for a woman to be with....True Story
My personal opinion is that this is the best Mike Oldfield's single, even better than Moonlight Shadows which is considered his best solo single ever.
Para mi éste es el mejor sencilllo de Mike Oldfield, mejor de Moolight Shadows que se considera como su mejor single de siempre.
One of Our George's favourites
just great!!
love this version.. would definitely be great on Daryl's House
Why Eddie Van Halen?
I really like this version.. the original right?
Yes
Hall and oates
and i like both versions, this and the Hall & Oats, but my favorite is this.
Fukn A! Fukn Awesome!
H&O perfected the vocals.
It would have been cool for Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reily to do this song on Darryl's House. Oh, have you heard her remake?
agreed, starting to like original better now
+RayVision3D yeah I totally agree
Fuckin' great track! I adore it!
Maggie Reilly and Anitha Hegerland had almost the same voices
Mike Olfield means " Maggie Reily "
Alex Colinas he's the composer of everything. maggie reily is only the singer.
Mike Oldfield - guitar and Maggie Reily - voice means good music ;)
Alex Colinas
I will disagree.
Mike is a self taught genius composer, song writer doesn't even begin to describe his self taught mastery of so many instruments.
Maggie sings - period. She hardly gets in the groove for what she's singing & holds back on vocals too.
She had a place in the evolution, but is in NO WAY " Mike Oldfield" she was just one (1) of his many instruments/tools.
Is Gabriel's Oboe Ennio Morriconi? No way. You get my point. If not you're an idiot.
You are f***ing kidding. Maggie Reily is only one of the many additions to Mike Oldfields' works of which the greatest are instrumental, btw.
Not "reilly" ;)

(sorry if I can't do it in Spanish)
I wouldn't say most prefer his 70's stuff to his 80's I would say it is half and half
A catchy tune !

Can anyone find me the hall and oats version with lyrics
@Domseryo I totally agree.
The chorus is sung too many times at the end for my liking; a couple of times would have been enough.
newt gingrich campaign song.

this version has way too many different instruments doing different things in my opinion.
seriously? The drums are an absolutely mess here.
EVH???? Had nowt to do with it.
Sounds like a woman singing. Very nice Lady
True dat!
+Will self maggie reilly.
Ejale
Why is a woman called Mike??
Mike is the composer
She's a vocalist on some albums.
This sucks compared to Hall & Oates. okayim ready. bring on the hate
disagreeing rock > disco !
There´s a great Gene Wilder saying on this matrix, just type "Gene wilder insult"
Wouldn't bring in hate, I wouldn't say this sucks compared to it- But Hall + Oats version has more ommmpphhh
The original will always be the true version. Also I hate you, I guess.
No way ! But, it depends of the taste thou...
Hall and oates is better
The creepy way the woman the sings
The stupid sounding like rain drops the guitar makes
Its terrible
