@areyouavinalaughisheavinal53283 місяці тому
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.

@rolandschweiger86782 місяці тому
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. My first introduction to him was when he recorded the updated theme music for Blue Peter. I was amazed that he played all the different parts himself, then the recordings were mixed together - very unusual in those days.

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

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.

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.

This tune was a regular playlist of his at the time and my late teens working on building sites, with the radio playing on the scaffolding, will never be forgotten. Timeless track. RIP DJ Steve.😢

@Richard-jt2um9 років тому
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 :)
@StraberrYKiler67899 років тому
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

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.
