• Yolanda from Austin, TxI once read a Mexican novelita (graphic novel I guess?) and it dealt with a man and woman who met then separated and they always wondered about each other. Years later, they cross paths, but each is married to someone else. But they decide to spend a weekend together. When they do, they realize they are no longer the same people and that the fantasy was better than the reality and that they should have left it in the past and in their memories. They say goodby and go back to their separate lives. This is what I remember when I hear this song. It reminds me of my first love, but I've accepted that it has to stay in my dreams.
• Stingray from AnaheimThis song is sad. Especially if you think you will ever find (lol) "true love" (again), once you fu** up. They would've gotten old and terrible anyway.
  I guess God is the love to aspire to. Let's keep the nightmare concept of reincarnation OUT of this, whoever you are below.
• Karen Anne RnI love this song.
• M from A Good PlaceI thought I wanted to go home again - finally searched out and found my first love several years after we split. We got together. Spent a couple of days together. And then, as we were starting into each other's eyes, I realized..... what an awful b*tch she really was, and why I dumped her in the first place! Good riddance! The past should stay in the past.
• Patrick from UsaShe was out there and I found her after my wife or 50 years marriage passed. Unfortunately it is bittersweet because she is in the last stages of a terminal disease. We both agree that it was a special year in our lives, both or ours first long term relationship and love, and we both still make each other laugh. She tells me when we talk the pain goes away and she always sleeps well that night. As my first love she always had a piece of my heart. At the time I was to immature for marriage and she was a couple of years to young. We agreed to meet a few years later but fate intervened and I met the love of my life, as did she. Like Justin said "you can never go home", but it is nice to have the memories.
• Fretman from TexasThe Moody Blues have been my favorite band since 1971, when I first heard 'Story in Your Eyes' on the local AM radio. I was sixteen years old. There are no words that can even come close to describing what this tune does to me. Some will dismiss this song as simplistic and trite, but it perfectly captures the optimism of youth and your first real relationship when you went all in and risked it all for love, and bittersweet success when ambition and diverging life choices pull you apart. It is only in retrospection of what seemed a simpler time, can you begin to appreciate the incredible opportunities you had that you walked away from, and the hope that you just might get another chance to do if different next time.
• Tman from AlabamaI’m a child of the 60’s and 70’s music. The Moody Blues were able to continually pump out quality albums. The talent in this band is unsurpassed. I long for those days but I know they’re not out there somewhere. Sad.
• Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenPretty much the last Moody Blues song I liked. There was a noticeable drop-off in the quality of their work after the 80s ended.
• Al Robertson from Casa Grande, Az3-28-21. This song is also one of my absolute favorites. I'm an adoptee who has searched and finally found my birth mother in 2019. She passed in 1999 but there are living biological relatives still. Justin Hayward's lyrics apply to adoptees equally well. I've taken poetic liberty and made a few lyrical changes where a clearer portrayal of the adoptee's circumstances presents more meaningful, reality. It's strictly for my own benefit or those in a search group setting. But the emotions that come forth from this song are quite like no other from an adoptees perspective.
• Daniel from Brisbane, AustraliaTo those who want to know the true meaning of this lovely song, it's about the pain of God letting our souls go to earth when we were born, and his hope for us to find him again.
• Dana from Seattle28 years I waited, knowing she really was out there far off... Then my phone rang, and the gorgeous South African Brittish accent on the other end squeaked out, "Dana, is that YOU?" "Uh ha, Antiinette?, " was all I could get out before she blurted out, "Would you like to have a coffee? I'm in America!" Oh no, I thought, I'm gonna fall head over heels and she's gonna break my heart, all over again... We had coffee... And we've been having coffee every morning for the past 15 years... and counting. I knew she was out there somewhere.... Somewhere.... Never give up hope, never stop looking.
• B from LouisianaTo M from NC: Acc’d to some grumpy critic who doesn’t like the Moody Blues, “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” plays over the credits only in the US theatrical release, to that critic’s great dismay. It’s also on the VHS tape of the movie. Alas, it is not on the CD of the soundtrack. My guess is a promoter for the Moody Blues got it in there, to promote the song, which had recently been released. The movie was where I first heard it, and I thought it fit perfectly. I don’t know what’s wrong with some critics.
• Aidyl from Durban South AfricaHe spent 35 years looking for family, and he's finally found .. me in the search. Don't ever give up the dream.
• Annie from SheffieldI often listened to this over the years...never thought I would see him again...guess I am one of the lucky ones ...I found him again after 42 years and married him....
• Sher from UsaI like to think this song is about reincarnation and a lost love from a previous life.
• M from North CarolinaThis song played during the closing credits of an obscure English movie called "A Summer Story" from 1988. Obscure to almost everyone, but it's my favorite all time movie. It's about a first love, and it breaks my heart every time I see it. This song embodies everything this movie was about. I know it's a stretch, but if you ever get the opportunity to see this movie, watch it. If you don't cry, you're just not human. Anyway, my son bought me the hard to find DVD of this movie, but I Know You're Out There Somewhere is nowhere to be heard on the DVD. Licensing issue I guess. But it fits perfectly. Please see this movie.
• Sam from Tooele, UtTruly a wonderful song. It is soulful and yet optimistic. The first love we experience leaves a tremendous imprint on our lives. In my case Kristin was indeed a powerful influence on who I am today. Even though she broke my heart in 10,000 pieces she will always be my first love.
• Art from Valencia, CaThe model in the video is Janet Spencer-Turner
• Abe from Waynesville, NcDoes anyone know who plays the girl in the video?
• Gigi from St. Louis, Mo Believe it or not this is my favorite song to play full blast whilst driving. It cheers me up and helps me calm down from the stresses of traffic and I'm bouncing to the rhythm and singing out loud the words i know by heart (by now I play it almost daily) people driving by probably think I've gone mad ha ha but really this is a great song and I agree with the others that said when wondering about what happened to your first love, that maybe holding on to the sweet memories is perhaps better than being dissapointed by finding out otherwise. (he he I know from experience) lol
• Zappy from Geelong, AustraliaA great song no doubt but I still have a great fondness for "Living in a land of make beleive" from Seventh Sojourn, my favoite MB album
• David from Erie , PaOne of my all-time favorite Moody Blues songs. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back to the late 80's early 90's and my first REAL true love. Lisa Howell was one of a kind, and I never was able to fill the void created by her leaving. I still hold small hope that one day, I'll see her again. One mystery about this song still baffles me. Why the omission of the lines "The words that I remember from my childhood still are true. That there's none so blind as those who will not see. And to those who lack the courage, and say it's dangerous to try. Well, they just don't know that love eternal will not be denied."
• Ken from Louisville, KyIn concert, the Moodys will use searchlights to scan the audience during the chorus, as to depict looking for that lost love.
• Jan from Amsterdam, NetherlandsI saw three times now. The first occasion, mid 90's, after the break the started to play in the dark. The audience couldn't see them and they started "I know you're out there somewehere". Chickenskin! The first start of the show was "Lovely to see you again". I've seen them recently, the ladys that took over from Ray Thomas did a nice job, made some nice extra arrangements. Ray's musical contribution wasn't great, but I miss his mighty voice. The voices of John and especially Justin are even better than in the past. If there is anything, they could have some real 'words to say say to me', not only the same lines to put in every occasion again.
  But the music has new elements every time again, fantastic! I do have all there albums, even the ones solo from Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder, the songs sung by Justin Hayward; and I can't get enough of it.
• Kevin from Memphis , Tnthe video is the second half of the story started in the video for "Your Wildest Dreams"
  (please see my note there for details)
• Eddie from Philadelphia, WaThis song is my sissy song. I love it. Depending on where I hear it, I sometimes tear up and I'm a pretty macho dude. I associate it with my first REAL love(we met in college) and I'll always have a hole in my heart for her. I'm very happily married now with children, but I'll never forget JC. The lyrics convey all your feelings for a lost love. The music is haunting. And I remember us on a road trip years ago and we heard this on the radio and she was belting it out. Almost like a scene out of a movie. And oh yeah, it was the only girl that ever broke up with me(and we were engaged), so that kind of helps draw out the emotions.
• John from Flin Flon, CanadaI saw the band in Winnipeg on July 13th. Awesome show. The band was tight, harmonies were right on. Go see them.
• Lenore from Vancouver, CanadaI was at the concert in Vancouver, BC on July 8, 2007. What a thrill to see The Moody Blues in person.
  
  The intricate, smooth & silky music of The Moody Blues was jarred and marred by the over drumming of the second drummer whose 'solo' and intrusive style distracted from the sutble beauty of the music and harmonies of the group.
  
  I admire the ability of Graeme Edge to blend and belong and was sorely disappointed that I couldn't appreciate his drumming. He, in fact, seemed just as rattled as I was by the crashing style of 'the other guy'.
• Walt from Allentown, PaOf course some of the Moodies were missing. It's called retirement. Keep in mind that this band has been around since 1964 and age is starting to take it's toll, even though they continue to tour and put on great shows to a very loyal fan base.

• Jim from Denver, CoI saw the Moody Blue's concert in Denver on 2-26-07 and was somewhat disappointed. When I saw them
  prior to this, they were accompanied by an orchestra,which was sorely missed. The orchestrated music was taped and was not up to expedtations. A few band members that were missing,the flutist and the keyboard player were
  substituted by two talented ladies, but their
  harmony didn't go well with the rest of the band.
  What happened to the rest of the band?
  I did not find the "Lost Chord" that night.
