  • Good theme..they didn't work it out :( In a month or so the show will get to an end in the Netherlands as well :(

  • I LOVE YOU ATWT and I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU

  • I never see Jade in any of the openings

  • @Lonarix1 Jade wasn't a central part of the show to warrant being apart of the credits.

  • This opening theme, with all it's dramatic effect, was so pretty, especially the beautiful piano at the end.

  • I MISS ATWT even though the stories weren't the best espcially with Barabra locked in that basement talking to that damn clown, I wish we could still see this soap

  • @DreTyrell313 Babs and Henry were so awesome! :)

  • Best soap opera theme at all time.

  • Licinda Walsh was play by Elizabeth Hubbard?

  • Comment removed

  • This is my favorite soap?

  • Why Martha Byrne leave the show back in 2008?

  • @Stephaun17 She wanted the same amount of episodes she had the year before, and the show denied so she walked.

  • Why this opening back in the fall of 2008 this opening was gone?

  • @Stephaun17 Too many recasts, and budget cuts.

  • the music is so cool! i love everything of that soap!

  • I like the old Lily WAY better then the new one.

  • Hey is that Roger Howarth in the bumper?? he originally protrayed Todd Manning on ABC's One Life To Live, that blonde broad comes out today on One Life To Live lol I hate her character on One Life To Live!! lmao the one in the end "Just Tell Me What's Wrong & I'll Go"

  • I love the part starting at 0:13 !!!! :) soooo cool! Is there a name for this? I want to download it soooo bad!!

  • Comment removed

  • Oh Youtube why you recommend me this now I am crying!

  • thanks for including the open, bumper and closing. What a great show. Excellent opening. The "Real" Craig, the "Real" Lily,, the adorable Gwen and Will, peerless Jack and Carly, Luke, et al. Even though missing Barbara, Lisa and they made the beautiful Kim look like a school marm (really, she's SO much more stylish than that. Cheekbones, people!), THIS was a good opening. Chris Goutman, you did us wrong!

  • I liked this opening. I also liked the one they used from 1981 - 1993.

  • 0:42 is my favorite part

  • Comment removed

  • OMG i love this tv show

    my favorite...forever

  • This and The Young and the Restless have to be the two best themes for all soap openings! :)

  • When I was growing up Id always hear the show coming on and sometimes sit and watch, but since I was 18 Id been watching the show more. I havent missed hardly and episode since the new Lily came in, so I been into it for a while now. ATWT and Guiding Light were alot more realistic like real life situations they showed, which is why I like it so much. Y&R and B&B are not as realistic, more like a fantasy world of clothes, jewel, and models I dont care for. Ill miss ATWT D:

  • where the fuck is Lisa?

  • I never understood why they put Alison with Luke in the opening credits considering the actress who played her had just joined show and Jade was never in the opening credits when she should've been in the opening credits with Luke instead of Alison. I never got that. Jade Taylor was a major part of the reason as to why I was watching atwt from 2006 until she left.

  • Love me some Carjack!

  • @mybrown13 Sadly just like with daytime game shows and cartoons soaps are becoming a things in the past.

  • THere was always something very right to me with having Martha Byrne on at the end.

  • ive been watching this show since i was little with my mom... and this is by FAR my FAVORITE opening and music! im really gonna miss this show when it goes off air... im so addiccted to it..

  • Great opening. I've never watched ATWT, but this is the best opening for any daytime show I've ever seen.

  • most favorite intro!

  • Does anyone know who composed this theme? I think it sounds very much like Chris Spheeris on his Culture Album.

    B.T.W.:

    This is by far my favorite opening of ATWT.

  • i love it 1st carly and jack and 2nd will and gwen love it

  • i don't like this version....the one before was the best opening i have ever heard, they should have stick to that version i think it was a very classic version...that being said, I can't beleive they cancelled the show after al lthese years

  • its kinda sad to watch. i would like to see a mix of all the openings when the world stops turning on sept. 10 2010 after 54 years. first the guiding light got put out, and now the WORLD is coming to an end. who's gonna be next. Days of our Lives?

  • love my atwt

    Really! You nailed it on the head. First Guiding Light and now soon As The World Turns. CBS will forever be remembered as the Stupid Network that canceled the two best soaps on daytime TV!!

  • I love this!!!

  • tbh this theme rocks, but i know it from somewhere else, but i dont know where

  • Okay, here's the deal:

    this makes me realize how much the show has slipped in only two years. It's unwatchable now. NO honest character direction (Damien? Lily? Meg? Paul w/Emily in 2 seconds after all that time with Meg? I'd buy it IF it had been properly fleshed out--just don't buy this and they didn't play the old Emily-Paul stuff enough. And when the frig did an (excellent) supporting character like Henry become the lead? I OVE Lynn Herring but what a bad story. Jack's dead? Stupid....

  • it hurts to watch the past years of atwt on youtube now. Im just so depressed that its cancelled now. what are we going to do without these charecters that have been in our lives (well in mine anyways) for HALF of our lives? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?!?!?! :(

  • ATWT should re-visit this theme with their new blue colour. I'd love it!

  • I love this opening, the music is amazing.

  • Such a great opening

  • This is the best ATWT theme ever in this universe. IMO the black and white opening from the sixties was fake. Back then the earth looked like a clay model that a kindergarden student sculptered. Plus the organ music sounded like you are at Frankenstein's castle for a Halloween party.That takes alot to drive you nuts and go donate that organ to an organ bank!

  • The '60s opening isn't fake. There is a reason why that opening is the longest running among ALL soap operas that have ever been on.

  • i love this theme song much beta!

  • Leuk muziekje =]

  • I dont think they are that bad but it is a base for improvement. I thinks a good start and the show was pretty good too.

  • are you kidding me?! ATWT is my all time favorite soap!

  • Nice:D

  • I lik the music but I would rather see the pictures in black and white sort of like the Love of Life opening in 1979 or 1980 before the show was axed. The new logo looks like it was done in-house and they don't show pictures of the vets in the mid-break bumper

  • I wish they would re-vamp this opening. ATWT is splipping and the opening doesn't help.

  • i love the music for this, i wish i could get the ring tone, seriously. Van Hansis does not look good with brown short hair i'm glad he changed his hair. John Hensley and Jesse Soffer are cute!!!!!

  • how can i get it????

  • How can I get the theme song???!!!

  • I want this song also..

    This music is just wauw!

  • This is my favorite soap and version of opening. I see old Lilly, and Luke and Dusty with short hair, and the Gwen drama.

    Wow, things are changeing so fats in a year.

  • @redneon06 its too bad reality television has taken over day time dramas, it has sent away guiding light, as the world turns, all my children and one life to live. still in shock.

  • what is the name of the full song??

  • Comment removed

  • I liked the previous intro better... xP But this one is cool too. ^^ Maybe it was because I was used to the other one, lol. xD

  • i like the new music. At least the used to update the cast in the onld theme! I have not seen a cast opening for ages. Just that black one :(

  • I still think that B&B has the best opener of all the soaps (the full version). I also notice the current ATWT episodes don't feature the full opener

  • I didn't like the beauty shots in the intro, but Martha Byrne did look pretty! love the intro song!

  • it would be nice if they made a new opening with the same music.

  • Hehe Luke with such short hair never fails to make me laugh xD (Simply as im not uised to him with such amazing short hair.)

  • I love it, I want this song!

  • I love the intro and music!

  • i remember when this debuted...i was studying for the hardest final exam I have ever taken in my life.

  • addicted t othis tune, it's so.... wannabe emotionfull , funny and cool :P

  • I love the music.

  • i love this song

  • This opening debuted in the Netherlands, in the first new episode of at 22 h :D (We have a new episode at 22h, the day after the same episode at 17h and the day after that the same episode again at 9 am :D)

  • aaaaaach jack is echt schattig aan het einde

  • HEY......does anyone know where I can find this episode of As the World Turns....the episode with the scene of Will and Gwen and Gwen says I'm glad you're home!!!!!!!! I've been looking for it everywhere!!!!

  • why the fuck dont we get to see this one anymore is that part of the budget too? we hear the dramatic music and AS THE WORLD TURNS pops up [stupidddd]itd be awesome if the show was actually good right now

  • I guess we'll no longer see an opening and theme music for ATWT. I liked this theme but didn't like the 'beauty shots'. Have you noticed the cast photos they are showing now during the middle of the show? I like those.

  • I hope they use this opening again, just update the actors variations.

  • Yeah, I like this music second to last year's music... It is cool.

  • amazing piece of music

    want the faces going at a rate of 2 seconds

  • who the song whant jut send me a message and i will send it to you if you whant it.

    Greetz

  • great opening. i miss luke and noah though

  • Wow, I actually found this opening refreshing from the last version used.

  • what is the name of this song & who sings it?

  • The the version they had before this one as not that old then they deside to on a new theme and new look. I think they should of stuck with the old one but the new is ok.

  • I aggree it is a tune that catches the spirit of change of characters role within the show, hats off to the composer..... lets end the dull and conservative musical introductions

  • I'm guessing they'll be shooting a new video for the song since Jennifer (Gwen) and Jesse (Will) and now Martha Byrne (Lily) are leaving the show? I can't believe Martha Byrne is leaving! They may as well just go ahead and cancel the whole soap if she's gone.

  • MARTHA BYRNE is leaving?! What are they thinking...I'm afraid you might be right. Remember what happened to Santa Barbara and Guiding Light when Marcy Walker and Kim Zimmer left?! Well GL got back Zimmer but SB folded shortly after Walker's departure.

  • I hate it that Martha is leaving! But I do not think the need to cancel the soap I mean we have: Carly, Jack, Holden, Henry, Lucinda, Katie, Margo, Tom, Barbara, Luke, Paul, Emily... And these are not all! So...

    I rather see Cady McClain coming back!!!

  • MB was getting thrown in repetitive s/l. I hope they don't let the actor that plays Holden go to waste.

  • i shoudn't like luke and noah as a couple because i was raised to not believe in homosexuality or accept it. but i mostly tune in to watch the show to see them.for some reason i see noad as the man in the relationship and luke as the woman. i don't know why i feel that way.i think maybe because luke looks more feminine to me

  • From what I've seen, Luke is the more passive of the two. He's always waiting on Noah because he doesn't want to push Noah away by scaring him. That's probably why you see Luke as the feminine one. Also, in their first kiss Noah was the one who initiated it, and that's generally regarded as a masculine (dominant) trait.

  • thanks for replying and that makes sense. luke looks feminine and could pass for a woman if he got a long blond wing(i didn't say that to be homophobic or funny. i wonder if they plan to make noah bi-sex by having him have a sexual encounter with the younglady he has married.

  • i am going to miss lily so much.even if she is recasted i prefer martha. if the role is refilled the actress will have big shoes to fill. maybe martha could go on to amc and play liza colby

  • It's been confirmed that the Actress Noelle Beck is going to fill the shoes for Martha as Lily.

  • i love this theme song!

  • I aggree it is a tune that catches the spirit of change of characters role within the show, hats off to the composer..... lets end the dull and conservative musical introductions

  • Damn!  How many times have ATWT and GL changed their opening sequence in the last decade???

  • This theme alone got me to watch ATWT so it must be good. Well I'm also a huge NUKE fan. I miss Eileen Fulton though. I may not have watched the show prior to this opening but I know she's been around since the flood. Where is she?

  • Me too! I was asleep and awoke to it playing... I now watch just to hear the song.....so long OLTL....."Here's what you do when you can't find a rainbow's end, this time...."

  • Is it really, really true Will and Gwen are leaving the show? Why can't soaps keep their younger actors? I'm on LiveJournal. soaps-holic

    :3

  • So many great actors are leaving ATWTs. I think this show is losing alot of its appeal for me. I really enjoyed Craig by Bryce, but he was fired. When soaps have so much drama behind the scenes, it shakes my confidence.

  • Mhmmm. The people who portray them are leaving once their contracts are up. No news on whther they'll be replaced.

    As for the theme, it's the best one they've had, but they should reshoot the characters.

  • i like this theme and the 2006 theme song as well, since they are the only ones i remember.

  • i like this opening except not for gwen's beauty shot (i think she's way too close in the front) and why is allison moving so much?!

  • I like this version. But they're missing a lot of folks it seems! They should make anothe version or two so they can feature everyone. Especially Nancy!

  • I agree, this show is known for its graphics used in theme sequences, I think they should show the characters featured in the days episode so we know what to expect, especially if we are only interested in 1 or 2 storylines

  • It seems like I'm the only one who actually likes this theme the best out of all of them.... humm..

  • This is good. But the one with the sky blue backround is the best.

  • I like it too but I think the original version is the best!

  • this is the only theme I ever saw lol so it must be my favorite, the theme music is so dramatic, I love it

  • I think they are wicked i think our british soaps did title sequences like this. xxx

  • the music is not bad but the beauty shots look cheap.

  • i agree. they should hvae had the characters in slow motion during the theme song & actually made them NOT look as cheap as they do

  • nice =)

  • How can I download this theme so I can put it to my iPod? I've been trying to get it, but can't.

  • here goes. u can get a widget to work with firefox browser to download the video as a flash file, then u can use a converter (i use SUPER) o convert it to MP3. Also, u can use the latest version of RealPlayer (beta, tho) so you can DL it, but i haven't tried that yet.)

  • I like the theme song and would like to know what the name of it is. It sounds like Yanni. Love his music.

  • Seeing the ending of this really makes me miss Jade. I hope she comes back soon...I know they said that the actress left because her character hadn't grown that much since she started(the whole obsession with Will and Gwen thing was getting a little old)

  • who is the artist of this song and what is the song title? i am wanting to find it to download it. anyone know?

  • I love this music! I wonder if there is a longer version. I want it on cd!

  • I do 2!

  • awesome theme!!!! best one out of all the previous ones

  • This is just as bad as the last one. I never liked the idea of making the people more important than the globe. We can see them during the actual show. The logo is stunning, though. Too bad we're stuck with it for at least a couple years.

  • what is this song

  • Ilove this. U know what would have made the whole version better? If the people we're in slow motion & everytime a big beat came, the people looked @ the camera.

  • Where is Paul

  • o and susan.

  • When comes the second version with Paul, Barbara, Maddie, Lisa, Margo, Tom and Aaron??????

  • Where's Paul?

  • I think when they made this, Roger Howarth was not sure if he would stay on as Paul or go back to OLTO to play Todd again. But at the last minute he decided to stay on as Paul on ATWT. Since new characters have come and others have come back, I'm sure they'll make another version with Paul in it.

  • OoOoOo, I never thought of that. It wouldn't have mattered to me if Howarth left ATWT or not, because he's great as both Paul and Todd.

  • Actually, both Howarth and TPTB at ATWT decided to make it look like he was going to leave. Howarth did ink a new deal but they kept him away long enough to bring back on Rosanna

  • That little them up untill Dust is over should o before the characters come on, as in the music before the theme.

  • Newztube can you message me? Hou25se on aol.

  • Thanks NewzTube.

  • np houintellect - as you can see the insults continue to be flung so can't help you out. shame how a few ruin it for the rest of us.

  • NewzTube: Do you happen to know which fan club site the full length mp3 version is on? Thanks again in advance.

  • yes - and I will reply once these filthy european assholes stop slagging me off in this forum.

  • Ooh you are the only asshole here, I don't have any thing against Amerikans but I do have something against you!!! And now you called every European filthy!

  • I don't care if someone is from New Zeeland, Poland Belgium or wherever they come from!

  • Does anyone know how to convert to mp3 form so I can download to my cell phone?

  • houintellect: there is a full quality mp3 of the theme music on one of the fan sites for download...hope that helps =)

  • Well,I think this new ATWT Theme is the best of all current running Soaps.

  • this opening is really great, but we have to wait here in holland were like two years behind or something!

  • Ja ik wil de opening nu, vind het erg jammer dat we zo ver achter zijn! , en Rosanna komt terug!!! En ik wil ook wel van die bumpers!!!

  • komt ze echt terug, ben benieuwd!!

  • who cares how far behind hole-land is? stop wasting space here
