The Moody Blues reflected on lost love in "Your Wildest Dreams."
Lead singer/guitarist Justin Hayward penned the song, which reached No. 9 on the Billboard charts in 1986.
The narrator recalls youthful times, possibly a first or teenage love, and how circumstances in life pulled them in different directions. And he reminisces:
"I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams"
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams"
We learn that the singer is gravitates to music and away from the person he cares about, a decision in which he expresses some regret because they had something special between them:
"Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it"
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it"
And in the final verse, he again reveals that he thinks about her but wonders if she thinks about him:
"I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me"
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me"
Do you ever wonder if those you cared about in your past still think about you?
"Your Wildest Dreams" lyrics
I still have a couple of the Moody Blues recordings on my playlist. Seems to me there was some kind of controversy with them, though I am not sure. Of course, as with most groups, there was always something going on! Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandie. The Moodies have been around for a long time. Many folks wonder, including me, why they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
ReplyDeleteThis has always been one of my favs. I think, musically, we have the same tastes. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Socorro, it does seem like we have similar tastes although I do enjoy a lot of hard rock from that era.
