Introduction
Imagine sipping a warm cup of tea on a rainy afternoon, staring out the window as droplets race down the glass. That’s the feeling “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” by The Moody Blues stirs in me. It’s like an old friend whispering tales of longing and hope, wrapped in the kind of nostalgia that makes you want to dig out your old photo albums.
Released in 1988, this gem finds its roots in the rich tapestry of The Moody Blues’ storied career. It’s a sequel, in spirit, to their earlier hit “Your Wildest Dreams,” and it continues the narrative of searching for a lost connection, an echo of a love that feels both distant and eternal. The song effortlessly blends rock and synth-pop, capturing the essence of the late ’80s while retaining the classic, dreamy quality the band is known for.
What really gets me every time is Justin Hayward’s heartfelt vocals. There’s something about the way he delivers the lines, like he’s confiding in you his deepest yearnings. And that chorus—oh, it’s a sweeping, uplifting promise that somewhere, somehow, that person you’re missing is thinking of you too.
Have you ever listened to a song and felt like it was speaking directly to your soul? This is one of those tracks. It’s perfect for those moments when you’re pondering the mysteries of fate and the bonds that tie us to one another, no matter the distance. The song’s music video even adds a layer of storytelling, playing with themes of time travel and memory—how cool is that?
So, next time you need a musical companion for your thoughts on love and destiny, give “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere” a listen. It’s like having a heart-to-heart with an old friend, full of warmth and a touch of magic. Do you have a song that feels like a personal time capsule? I’d love to hear about it!

Lyrics
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know i’ll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow i’ll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And i’ve left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
‘cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know i’ll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know i’ll find you somehow
And somehow i’ll return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I’ve been searching for in everyone i meet
And the times i’ve been mistaken
It’s impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know i’ll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know i’ll find you somehow
And somehow i’ll return again to you
From 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
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know i’ll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know i’ll find you somehow
And somehow i’ll return again to you
Yes i know it’s going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we’ll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness i’ll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know i’ll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know i’ll find you somehow
And somehow i’ll return again to you
