[940DarkMuffin]

I love this song so much. I got to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra live last year. It was so glorious to hear their music live.

[rubbing2001]

My Grand parents and parents grew up with this music and it was passed down to my generation, I learned to play this on the lowrey organ which could duplicate the instruments you hear on the video.My parents were both 15 when world war 2 was won, they basked in the time of music and celebration. not a care to the world. What a time!! Greg

[thellt1]

fudge. i loved this song as a kid. it was on the movie BIG (80s....) with tom hanks. and i remember rewinding that scene over again because of this song. and the epicness. im a pretty macho guy and romantic songs liek this still make me cry. epic songs will never go out of stile

[missdarcy321]

 I swear this song has MAGIC!!!!!

[schnuazerboy]

the kids today are too lost in them-selves to know what good music really is...

[NicksParodies]

This is where he completes his sound, adding a clarinet. Finishes the whole jazz sound.

[MybRainIsBroken32]

WoW..A masterpiece . Its a shame the music of today pollutes all of the roots of everything that music used to be.

[jamest681]

It was definitely a very special generation.

[hudson2441]

I know there's versions of this song that have lyrics but this is one of those few songs that words just ruin. It's best heard without vocals.

[pieronicolosi]

One of the most beautful songs of all time.

[Intosia]

Just stumbledupon Glenn Miller, and damn good stuff.

[nemeckathleen1]

How did you know, that I am a fan of Mr. Glenn Miller what a fine musician. He went way too soon....love his sound. So did my parents this is good music. I would love to go back in time and meet the man of my dreams and dance to this...

[DreamingOfATony]

This song... I can feel it inside of me. From the first time I heard it, I felt like I had been born knowing it. It's like it comes from within...

[neonvincent1]

To samkills23 and all the young people that can appreciate a class act congratulatons on ability to say and feel what is truely in your hearts.

[MOAIC21]

Going to radio operatot school Keesler AFB early 1950s. The Air Force Band came down from DC playing the Miller arrangements. Part of the band was the Singing Sargents thier theme song was Serenade In Blue. Four years later was dancing to the big bands all over NJ and NY. Wonder whly they died out, cause the dances were packed. Sad that no talent posers took over.

[saxguy1]

If it doesn't sound exactly like this, you're doing it wrong.

[felimabh]

Esta melodia nunca saiu de minha cabeça, me lembro com saudosismo desde meus 10 anos de idade, hoje tenho meus 64 anos! Volto ao passado com muitas saudades de minha infancia!

[saxguy1]

The greatest theme song ever. Period.

[TheVetusMores]

Classic rendition. Beautiful, and painstakingly recorded and posted. WW2Music, I just cannot thank you enough. You've really made my day :)

[beiprocel]

is all included,like recession and segregation?,because I ain`t missing anything!

[abrokenreflection]

Louis Armstrong used to listen to Glen Miller. Is there a greater recomendation than that?

[edgaram69]

It's not strange to be young and like this music, people who don't like it are strange.

[DrDropful]

@edgaram69 go on then how young?

[mi4sea]

@edgaram69 - Hey there's an internet location called Radio Dismuke - Loud City where you can listen to the music of the 20's and 30's all day long (24 hrs/day) - It is soooooo cool.

[55102]

@edgaram69 don t appreciate good music

[dobbsm1979]

@edgaram69 I've long felt I was born out of time. I love music from the 30s right on up to and including disco.

[Elathemoody]

@edgaram69

My 1 1/2 year old daughter loves to dance to this one. Never too young for good music :-)

[TheOneTrueKaliban]

@edgaram69 Yes. this is where American culture peaked.

[gechefa]

I grew listening this beautiful music. I'm 58 YO now, but since I was 15 or less, my mother played this music remembering ¡and dancing like she once danced it when she was single yet!. She also teach me how to dance this melodies and when we went to dec. 31 parties....

I also love Tommy Dorsey and Artie Shaw perfomances of this kind of music. You maybe noted this isn't a very good english; because I'm colombian.... from Cúcuta city.... find it in a map!!!!.

[Pixxie80]

I'm an old soul! Love this song!!! <3



[vonnie1747]

@Pixxie80 whenever I hear this song, I almost cry. I don't have any idea why, I love the song. I don't know if it is the simplistic beauty of the arrangment, somehow I can feel like I "was there" when I close my eyes

[DaysOfRain9109]

This was back when we had REAL music. Love it !!

[spacevoyager2009]

Such a beautiful song !!!

[DilanCPeralta]

it sucks

[DilanCPeralta]

/watch?v=Wdqo9aO0fyo better,right?

[swimmerB0B]

reminds me of riding in my uncle joe de otto's desoto. rip, joe.

[Kevin15301]

3 dislikes? WTF

[spacevoyager2009]

@Kevin15301 Probally black people who listen to thier stupid RAP music !!!! Rap music sucks!!!

[BlacknesUnforgivable]

@spacevoyager2009 Atleast black americans have music hahahaha

[13ECHO20]

No amps, no electric guitars... Just good music.

[AlvaroPovedaV]

I love this pretty song

[Elvis86100]

En 2011, Glenn Miller et son orchestre est toujours au devant de l'actualité musicale. Après bien des décennies, il sera toujours aussi GRAND. Les deux plus grands musidiens des deux derniers siècles, sont Glenn Miller et Elvis Presley... Inoubliables, et toujours heureujx e les entendre...

[kwgraue]

I was introduced to this music by my Mom and Dad in the late 50's and thank them to this day for exposing me to some of the greatest music ever recorded!

[RosanneB]

How could three cretins dislike this music? Its a classic.

[garypbryan]

My dad, Patsy Bryan used to play this to me when I was a kid. I adored it, I adore it even more today.

Gary Bryan

[Fabiolean]

One of the best songs of all time. They'll be making kids listen to this long after we are all dust.

[Desperadounico]

I always think about being overseas in the Army during WW2 when I hear this song even though of course, I wasnt even born yet. I wonder, what were the soldiers thinking about when they heard this music? Were they happy,sad, nostalgic, homesick? God bless them, nobody knows what they went through. I can almost guarantee you they were probably at least depressed. And that in a sense is an art in itself.

[PDERH]

Glenn Miller lives on in his "wonderful music". There will never be another one like him.

[yt515151]

I'm sad that the kids of today haven't had the chance to experience true music. Maybe someday this sound will come back to entertain as it once did so many years ago.

[AnthonyTotheRescue]

@yt515151 There honestly no such thing as "true music". I am not a fan of rap and pop, but nobody has the right to say it's not music. It's not good music, but it doesn't make it fake. It's all preference, my friend.

[samkills23]

@yt515151 I love big band and i am 12

[eduardo29080]

@samkills23 YO CON 65 AÑOS RECUERDO CUANDO LLEGO A CHILE ESA MUSICA..INOLVIDABLES RECUERDOS.I REMEMBER THIS MUSIC UNTIL 12 YEARS OLD....

[soulface25]

@yt515151 Hey..you´re soo right! serious!!!!

[rclegg21229]

@yt515151 Some kids do...my teenager loves it! Her iPod goes from Lil Wayne to AC/DC to Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller!

[35gtxracing]

@yt515151 This is truly musical magic. There's nothing out there today to

compare with this and all of the other great bands and singers. I wish I

could have been there.

[Celymar07]

Esto si es musica¡¡¡¡¡.....deleita nuestro corazon y sentidos...que disfrute¡¡¡

[happycowmonkeylord]

why wont let us use this song in a playlist?

when it comes up it says some acronym wont let it be played in a list, only in stand alone can it be played

[BassPlayer9651]

All time classic!

[eddieonole]

Bar none, an all-time classic!!

[ilovekooky]

2 people need a moonlight serenade :P

[johnndebbie2002]

this is one of my all time favorites by Glenn Miller!

[mashui99]

I like the version with Frank Sinatra singing with it

[TheSilverDollarQueen]

|Beautiful<3



[pr0sn1p3r]

I'm just sitting here drinking pop and eating gummy worms while listening to this magnificent piece. It doesn't get mutch better than this.

[tpalmer954]

cordless music what a concept

[MrAEGuitar]

@tpalmer954 There's a contrabass in there

[Chito3509]

This is the Kind of Bands out Troops in Iraq Need. May God Bless them for protecting our liberty.

[mrmontnegro]

@Chito3509

>May god bless them for protecting our liberty

>protecting our liberty

Our liberty was never in danger, as Iraq posed absolutely no threat to america. You should've wrote May god bless them for securing america's world superpower status by attacking nations during their weakest hour (Serbia in the balkan war, the war in Iraq.)

In fact, The only time our liberty was endangered was during world war 2, and the russians, not the americans, were the primary victors of that war.

[Chito3509]

@mrmontnegro This Music is from the 1940s. during World War 2. Glenn Miller Was in the Airforce so therefore im thanking Glenn and the troops who fought in WW2 And the troops who are keeping this country safe and free.

[mshgtv]

@mrmontnegro do us a favor google september 11,2001 watch the videos then tell me if you think we were and still are in danger. watch fox news for a few months every night then you will learn what is going on the real world today not in your own little dream world bubble that you live in .

[rocky24724]

im 18. #getatme

[166abe]

音がいい　ケド絵が動かないかぁ

[t328]

i am 53 and this is the music of my parents,dad was in the navy joined in 1937.he was supposed to get out on DEC 8TH 1941 AT PEARL HARBOR.my mom worked on the draft board. and i like this music too.when america was focused on one thing.

[JaniWarheart]

I have to admit to being amused by all these comments slamming the music of today. I love this stuff (as well as classical music) and still go and listen to melodic death metal (Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, Kalmah, etc), Symphonic Metal (Epica, Nightwish, etc), Doom Metal (My Dying Bride, Aybssphere, Paradise Lost, etc), as well as post-rock, ambient, atmospheric, neo-folk, darkwave... there is nothing wrong with diversity in musical appreciation. But, to each there own. Not bashing anyone. :)

[57highland]

@JaniWarheart Melodic Death Metal? Sounds amusing. Think I'll pass.

[JaniWarheart]

@57highland Making musical suggestions was not the point of that comment.

[ejseabury68]

I'm 43 years old, and when I was in the 8th grade (Back in 1981/1982) I was listening to Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, etc., while my classmates were in to Punk Rock, Heavy Metal and all that other stuff. THIS music is definitely American from the Greatest generation. It never goes out of style.

[mcjabeck]

@ejseabury68 I am 45 and I was the same way in high school.

[mcjabeck]

@ejseabury68 I am 45 and I know what you mean. I have loved this kind of music all my life. Never got into the music of my youth.

[kdmint]

I want a Boyfriend just to dance this song

[Idenio]

That's music!!!!!!!

[sieramike85]

I love this period in time, the music, the people, was born in the wrong era

[gdenuel]

@sieramike85 I know exactly how you feel!I'm 48 and like the music that my parents listened to.

[Strang3rDanger]

Playing this song and solo on clarinet is the most fun I've had playing music.

[rickmfinancial]

Amazing that looking at the time (3 years) he was in the top charts while alive; his "sound" will last forever in generations to com...God keep you in a special place Glenn... because you have given the world a treasure.

[AshgroveJill]

my favourite glenn miller song <3

[Oldwazoo35]

This and In the Mood are my favorite songs.  That WAS music. Compare those to rap.

[futurepilotari]

I actually find myself turning Katy Perry to this. Ahhmazing. :)

[maxelle52010]

will dance under this magical serenade under the moonlight anytime with my baby...

[MariavHellas]

sweet time travel...

[redshark618]

THIS is that song!!!

Been lookin EVERYwhere for you!

get into my favorites, you...

[whitebirch11]

My mother and father use to dance to this live...great experience...

[llama0wn3d]

This and In The Mood are GM's best songs imo.

It makes me rage when I hear them in different arrangements though. KEEP IT AS GLENN HAD IT >:(

[inthebigbag]

Best song ever made. I could listen to is for hours.

[ere1414]

I love that this video has no dislikes. It's impossible not to love this song.

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

I don't want to be there now as this was populist Jazz at that time and the blackouts and food shortages from 1940 .

My Grandfather showed me that Jazz is such a wide and beautiful musical journey than just the 'hits' as great as this track is.

He passed on December 2nd 2010 and is sadly missed...

[73SuperDuty455Red]

To all those young folks who keep wishing they were born during this era because of this great music - and that great time - and the great 'Light Of The World' nation - the U.S.A. during the 1930s and 1940s - well, make TODAY'S nation as great as that time. Do it. YOU CAN! There are so many people out there who are with you!

[skylighter15]

@73SuperDuty455Red thank you so much

[73SuperDuty455Red]

@skylighter15 And thank you, as well. This can be done, yes it can.

[slmorganwalker]

@73SuperDuty455Red Er...while I love the style and music, was it not the thirties that saw millions out of work and the heightening of tensions culminating in WW2? The past is a safe place to romanticise.

[73SuperDuty455Red]

@slmorganwalker Er...seen the current unemployment rates?

The 'heightening of tensions' is NOT what brought us into WW2.

1940s America was making strides against racism & segregation - horribly, both were still entrenched in the South.

Today, one of our biggest industries is porn, greed-fueled Consumerism is rampant, our once-formidable manufacturing base sits in China & young men talk & behave as prison thugs, pants strapped around their thighs.

Could THIS America take down another Hitler?

[slmorganwalker]

@73SuperDuty455Red I'm interested to know what you think did cause WW2 if not economics. It's also worth remembering that Jesse Owens on his triumphant return was obliged to use the service entrance and lift at the White House. America still produces generations of good people as all counties.I fear your reaction to low slung trousers is akin to my granfathers to my father wanting spats! In short CHEER UP and have some faith in your young however ridiculous they may look.

[yukinasasawa]

@slmorganwalker it wasn't economics or heightening of tensions that brought the USA into WWII it was when the japs attacked peal harbor that they woke the sleeping giant that was America. learn your history before you go sprouting off about stuff. and i am 17 and i have absolutely NO faith in my generation if another world war where to breakout

[slmorganwalker]

@yukinasasawa I don't think asking a legitimate question can be termed ' sprouting off '. It might interest you to know that the first deployment in the First World War was the Dorsetshire Rifles who found themselves bound for Iraq, not the war torn arena of Europe, to prevent Germany expanding its markets via rail in to Baghdad. Hilter's first bombing targets in France were not civilian or military but Michelin and other economic targets. I read history...

[nachoking54]

The way of the future.

[Tosswallyproductions]

Enjoy the music, and translate the message to our time. Sure it would be great to go back, but enjoy the present and remember the past. Now is important, so make the best of it, and enjoy the show.

[lavendermtn]

I remember my father, a World War II veteran, and my mother dancing to this on a hotel balcony in South Florida in the 1960s. They passed along their love of Big Band and classical music to their children. The cool thing is that both are still alive, so I think I'll give them a call right now and thank them. :)

[AristTara]

@lavendermtn tell them also that there's a kid in Vietnam that appreciates their children. X")

[djscotty1111]

@lavendermtn i enjoy the music too from the 40's IDEA > You could have them dance to this if they still can all dressed up Film it B&W Classic style as a tribute for your Family to remember for years to come.. Cheers !

[4everRomanovs]

I remember my parents playing this song...I always loved it. It became Glenn's signature song. Beautiful song! I wish music were like this today. Ah, those were the days my friend...simpler and more innocent times! If i could build a time machine, I would go back to those days and live out the remainder of my life there.

[besttony85]

wonderfull

[trollojane]

This song is timeless and speaks to the soul....how can you not feel the emotion behind it...great song and always will be!

[chalatenango234]

true I wasnt born in this era but man it beats today for sure

[YORKIE230557]

@chalatenango234

I,m with you on that one.

[MattS1224]

I first heard the Glenn Miller band when I was taking an American Popular Music class at my high school, and I love it! I feel like I was born in the wrong era. I love all the old music!

[themthrashinkids]

Me too. I am 15 and I wish I was born so much earlier, I can relate to music of previous generations so much.

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

If only the children today really knew what this wonderful generation gave up for us to be free.

[marita649]

I close my eyes and picture my Mom and Dad dancing to this when they were young and I was just a gleem in my Dad's eye's. Now their together again dancing to Glenn Miller live up in heaven. Beautiful music that is timeless.

[philip0072]

thi s is what you call music not the rubbish you get today

[gasman396]

I hear this and think of my mom and dad dancing,my dad in his navy uniform ready to go fight in ww 2.

[polyramos]

Linda melodia!!!

[97WarriorGrad]

I'm only 30 years old and I crave for music today to measure up to the classic grandeur of the Big Band era -- so much emotion, sex appeal, glamour and sophistication wrapped up in a simple swing orchestra. You just can't find this anymore....

[hipsterdoofus1026]

@97WarriorGrad Go to Amazon and buy a Glenn Miller cd. There, you just found it.

[MiltonFerretti]

Eternally wonderful, thanks for posting

[2009European]

So classic song, the song you never get tired of. Died the same year my daddy was born. In a plane crash. A lovely

song with passion and style. I think on my dad and mum,

who died to young !

[1954Highwayman]

Yes great tune.Thanks for posting this one..

[bobbyvvl]

try not to mention the war lol

[dalestevens36]

great great great tune. well done. this man is an absoulute LEGEND.

[Johindes]

perfect

[wasaranger]

I will cry ...listen this lovely Song ....Thanks for posting .......thanks from Germany

[armendoza123456]

PLEASE god bring back Glenn Miller. Theres no music today like that.

[greeniem]

@armendoza123456 He said, "No." :O

[dbzlotrfan]

@armendoza123456 Armstrong, Prima, Nat King Kole, Miller, who else?

[CattitudeInterlude]

@armendoza123456 you took the words right out of my mouth

the music today if disgusting

I loved this even as a teenager....

[sarsanch]

@armendoza123456 Also bring the country back!!!

[mangeldeth]

This song is magic.

[namibianman]

..con una luna inmensa en el balcón..unas copas con algo menos del champagne con que fueron servidas..un cuarto que sólo muestra el amor danzando entre un hombre y una mujer..la suavidad del tiempo que ha olvidado transcurrir..el brillo de unos ojos que iluminan los pasos de lo inevitable..labios que se posan en otros labios...cuantas veces soñaré con eso gracias a Glen y su loca ocurrencia de adivinarle la melodía al amor..

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

My parents had the Glenn Miller story soundtrack with a splendid version of Moonlight Serenade. You did a great job with this one.

Millerish regards,

Bruno

[Davidcrous]

No puedo creer!, esta musica es de la decada del 40 cuando mi abuela era joven , y me gusta como si fuera de mi epoca, es genial glenn miller!

[Perfusorspritze]

Einfach nur schön!
