Discovered them while in college 69-73. No car, no tv, no cell phones, no computer...but I did have this music. Still listening in 2024 at the young age of 73.
That was a more peaceful world. Especially with the Moodie Blues playing on my eight track player in my car or this album playing in my apartment. No cell phone,, no TV. Just my stereo.
We must be the same age and we have both been on the Moodies journey,what great days they were ,not a trouble in the world ,just need our time machine to go back ,
Back in the early 1970s I would put the Moody Blues on my turntable, plug in my headphones, lay down on my bed and close my eyes and just drift off to another world. The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time and have been fortunate to see them in concert several times. There will never be another pioneering group as great as the Moody Blues. Don't tell anyone but I am 54 years old and still a member of the Moody Blues fan club.
Wow, after a day in todays world I kicked back and put this on and it not only put me in a different world, it brought tears to my eyes, there will never be another Moody Blues.
Don't be so sure of that! I too went to Woodstock, wrote poetry (that I shall publish this year), married a great Lady who gave birth to a new generation of children who think, love, and are creative in turn. The wheel has not stopped turning, and beautiful people (Melanie's great ballad) still come forth from God. Be of good cheer. Yes, we know the Phillistines prance around their phony stage and make noise ... but they DON'T extinguish the flame of Life and will be history soon.
I took my 15 year old son to see The Moody Blues last night and he loved it. This was one of the songs they played. I told him to find ANY band out there that sounds this good after 42 years! This band belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and we as fans should make sure this happens!! Thank you for posting this video. DJChas
The Moodies made it into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame on August 13, 2018. It should have happened sooner but I read that Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones has influence with that organization and he didn’t like the Moody Blues. They finally made it though.
The Moody Blues became my favorite band almost 50 years ago. After all the great music released in that time, the Moody Blues are still my favorite band. Great composers of beautiful music, which will live on for centuries.
I got out of the Army in January 1972 and when I moved into my apartment my brother had recorded almost 6 complete albums on a Wollensak reel to reel single tape. That was my introduction to them and I have loved their music ever since. Never listened to anything else for months.
Simply one of the top 5 or ten bands ever to many, but in my top three, Behind Led Zeppelin and the Who...No one now or ever wrights this kind of "take me to a distant land of wonder and miraculous visions" kind of Music...They are truly timeless. Screw the Rock and Roll Hall of frauds. What do they know...(??)
Moody Blues have to be in the top five of all rock groups. Their unique sound and dreamy lyrics always took us on surreal, incredible trips of love, peace, harmony, acceptance, tolerance and togetherness, and Brotherhood. What a great era, in which they played a huge part... WE were lucky to grow in the times where love, peace and free love and protest and hope was espoused, and not violence nor gun ownership... OH how lucky WE were.
@@ai.201 The group "OM" is even MORE spiritual...they will put you in a "trance"if your not careful! How about the "YES"band? ENYA is pretty evolved also!
Somehow, this song is quintessential Moodies. Without getting into details, the nights I spent with my wife in our younger years listening to this and other Moody Blues songs were some of the greatest nights ever. The melodies bring back thoughts of a time when life was less encumbered. The Moody Blues are one of the great bands of all time.
@@billneice3747 yes was probably late 60's for me..my brother had the album EGBDF and I was caught been hooked since....never got to see them live though not when you lived in country part of Australia...
So sad thad young people today don't have the music of the 60's and early 70's to caress their senses.62 and still carried away by it.So wonderful,so grateful!
me, too! I used to put on my (huge) head set, kick back in my wrap-around chair and listen to the Moody Blues for hours. Even back then I knew they were "ahead of their time". even now, their songs apply to what is going on. And their love songs are eternally timeless.
Beautifully said and completely true for so many of us who grooved to the Moody Blues all those years ago. We'll probably never see such mastery of the metaphysical again. I thank God I was born at the right time to have had this experience.
Discovered them in 69-73 while in college. No car, no tv, cell phones or computer....but I did have this music. Still listening in 2024 at young age of 73.
65 here, lol I was late to the party, didn't start listening til like 1973. I play these songs with my grandchildren, they have transposed the flute to keyboards and harmonicas.. as for me, I'm opening the between the days festival 8/6.. was wondering if could ever play live again.. yeah it's a Jerry/Dead tribute festival but I'm opening with a Moody blues acoustic..
Despite all the loss and heartache, sadness and depression I've suffered, this song reminds me that behind this illusion, there is pure magic as well as purpose, simply because we exist in the first place...or as John Lennon said in a song - 'projecting our images in space and in time"
This song has become the hymn for my depression, in a nice way. It's a signal of hope, it's my light at the end of the tunnel. It's what reminds me that tomorrow will be another day, and it will be better than yesterday. If it wasn't for this song and the wonderful memories it brings to my mind, remembering seeing my dad happy for the first time after his divorce with my ma, I would've committed suicide in June '20. This song, literally saved my life.
There is always a song of hope in the Moody blues so stay positive and tomorrow will be better if you allow it to be. Songs like this one take us back to magical times around Arthur etc. best time of our history. Merlin etc. stay positive and plan your future and go for it. Good luck my friend.
this is definitely a ray thomas inspired tune. the moody blues had so many great song writers and vocalists. we only have JUSTIN HAYWARD, JOHN LODGE, AND MIKE PINDER left. RIP ray and graeme.
there's no one like them, I am 68 ,still listen to my orig vinyl ,cds ,tapes in the garage . streaming in the car! they have been a staple ,and always will be!
I went out of state to college in 1970 freshman year. I did not know myself but I knew The Moody Blues recordings. I never lost the love of the power they created.My God has patience and love for me and brings me home each time I reach for him through their creations.
Absolutely beautiful...whoever gave this thumbs down shouldn't even bother listening to it. Just go off in their dark little hole and stay there. Moody Blues will live on long after the men are gone..
I was a17 year old kid when I saw the Moody Blues for the first time in 1971 at the Atlanta auditorium. That was a special time for me and all of us now old farts. The Mooody's were the best band of those days. No other band played anything like them. Thanks for the song and memories.
I've been a huge Moody Blues fan since the late 60s. This song highlights how, in my opinion, Justin Hayward had the most beautiful male voice ever in the history of pop/rock music. It's good to see that even now, there are so many of you out there who still understand and appreciate how incredible this music was, and sad to think that it's like will never again be created.
Those pieces which are not "their most favored work" are among the best, and because they got little air play except on FM back in the late 60s/early 70s, it becomes a well-kept secret that those of us who revere the Moody Blues have had all to ourselves. Countless wonderful compositions that never made it to radio because of what those songs were and how they were composed. As the fathers of prog rock it took the public a few extra years to appreciate the Moody Blues, and once they were caught up they had 7 albums in the can and it was a treasure trove of progressive rock people finally appreciated. Only means the Moodies were literally years ahead of their time.
So happy hearing the music of The Moody Blues being played. This group's music is unbelievably beautiful and mesmerizing and a lot different from any other types of music being played at that period in time. So many beautiful tunes and sounds. In Search For The Lost Cord is one of my favorite albums, but then again, all of this group's albums were absolutely beautiful...very soothing and almost spiritual.
I was in uniform and this was the first song I heard when I got back in October, 1969. I bought the album and practically played the grooves off of it during the month before I went back. This is a timeless group of real musicians who were an enigma in their day. Still are to me.
I guess you missed that they were inducted in 2018 just after Ray Thomas passed away..his son went in his place. He died knowing they had finally got voted in,not that they needed it. Those who know their music ,know they are one of The best groups to ever perform.
MB est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière !!
just imagine them playing On the Threashold of a Dream at Glastonbury...saturday night, the mist rolling down off the Tor...how mystical and magical would that be
My favorite Moody's song from the very first album I ever bought. When listening to it, I close my eyes and drift back to my teen years of the 70s and relive them as if they were yesterday. So calming and such wonderful memories.
john bruce I first heard of them when I was in the Navy. I had to go to a Supply ship after a part for my ship and the Storekeeper had a tape of the Moody Blues going while he worked in his stockroom.
Present-day, I'm a Jackie Joyant, like Coldplay, numerous bands and styles, but I always come back to my teen beginnings with the Moody Blues & Yes. Some things never grow old.
You are so right Renard. My son got me hooked on a lot of alternative bands that are out now. However, I did the same with him, with all the bands i grew up with, including these wonderful musicians.I'm 62 now and it's great to know than my son loves a lot of the music I liked. I wish more of the younger generation would listen....actually listen...to this wonderful music. Maybe we wouldn't have a lot of the crap that's out now.
2022 bump. This song captured the romantic dreamscape of psychedelia perfectly. Really evoked a mystical fantasy you wanted to believe in. The 60's were a creative Renaissance for sure...
The Moodies are not your typical human beings...they are highly evolved artists who perfectly reflected the BEST of the late 60's... a search for meaning/Flower children/LSD experimentation/they all meditated(TM) also...they are a VERY unique group of guys/were all lucky to have them for inspiration! PEACE/LOVE.
AT 67 I STILL LISTEN TO THIS TUNE AT LEAST 5 TIMES PER MONTH......THEY DONT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE...SO AHEAD OF ITS TIME
No One Will Make This Kind of Music Ever Again
Discovered them while in college 69-73. No car, no tv, no cell phones, no computer...but I did have this music.
Still listening in 2024 at the young age of 73.
That was a more peaceful world. Especially with the Moodie Blues playing on my eight track player in my car or this album playing in my apartment. No cell phone,, no TV. Just my stereo.
We must be the same age and we have both been on the Moodies journey,what great days they were ,not a trouble in the world ,just need our time machine to go back ,
I'm 70, loved them then, love them now. Their music is timeless.
I grew up on the moody blues and now I'm close to 60s
Same here. I’ll be 72 in February.
Back in the early 1970s I would put the Moody Blues on my turntable, plug in my headphones, lay down on my bed and close my eyes and just drift off to another world. The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time and have been fortunate to see them in concert several times. There will never be another pioneering group as great as the Moody Blues. Don't tell anyone but I am 54 years old and still a member of the Moody Blues fan club.
I'm 72 and a lyricist. Lennon and McCartney had nothing on Hayward and Lodge. All talented in this timeless group !
I did too with the headphones
@@Epikcameraman And Pinder & Thomas were not exactly amateurs. Great songs came from all of them.
Same, very regularly
I did this in the 90s. Sometimes I wish I still could.
This song helped me through the worst case of homesickness when I was 19(am 51 now) away from home. I will always love the Moody Blues.
The magic of the Moody Blues is eternal.
and so are we....so it appears we will be listening to them for a long time...
YES
There is Nothing like a Moody Blues song..
And The Moody Blues cast thier spell on us. Its lasted all these years.
Wow, after a day in todays world I kicked back and put this on and it not only put me in a different world, it brought tears to my eyes, there will never be another Moody Blues.
Just be Happy you were part of their times!
Don't be so sure of that! I too went to Woodstock, wrote poetry (that I shall publish this year), married a great Lady who gave birth to a new generation of children who think, love, and are creative in turn. The wheel has not stopped turning, and beautiful people (Melanie's great ballad) still come forth from God. Be of good cheer. Yes, we know the Phillistines prance around their phony stage and make noise ... but they DON'T extinguish the flame of Life and will be history soon.

Well they made it❤❤❤about time should of happened long before this...
Chilliwack does, after 50+ years
Huey Lewis and the News does
The Doobie Brothers does
Seriously who cares about the R&R Hall of fame, they'll always be brilliant in my eyes and yours too, no doubt.
I think the Stones and the Doobie Brothers would make that list. Jethro Tull as well.
The Moodies made it into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame on August 13, 2018. It should have happened sooner but I read that Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones has influence with that organization and he didn’t like the Moody Blues. They finally made it though.

Yes, wonderful stuff. But, i think it is basically about five terrific albums in a row. Thats it for me.
Simply one of the top 5 or ten bands ever to many, but in my top three, Behind Led Zeppelin and the Who...No one now or ever wrights this kind of "take me to a distant land of wonder and miraculous visions" kind of Music...They are truly timeless.
Screw the Rock and Roll Hall of frauds. What do they know...(??)
Timeless music by a wonderful band. Will forever luv the Moodies.
I am NOW sitting comfortably!
Classic Moody Blues. ❤
50 yrs ago...may their music live on !!
THIS SONG IS SO HYPNOTIC AND MESMERIZING. IT TRANSFIXES YOU TO ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME. ONLY THE MOODY BLUES CAN MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS.
I so agree!!!...... certainly takes me to another place and time....
@Gary Snow name your favorite moodys song...its a VERY difficult thing to do...theres SO many great ones to chose from its mindboggling.....
Soooooo true!!!
pink floyyyyyyd
The combination of flute guitars and harmony...do just that..💜💙👍😁
One of the wonders of this world is the Moody Blues ❤️
Listened to this when I returned from Vietnam in 1969. Such a healing time for me.
thank you for your service sir.
So glad it was here for you-
That place was dark & angry never knew how u where going home standing up or laying in a box
So glad you made it back! Moody Blues are still here for us..some of the best music ever ..never gets old.
Hey brother, that's cool, good for the heart, mind and soul, bless you and your family

Kinda new agey as well.
Do you know any other bands like this?
@@ai.201 I don't think there are any other bands like the Moodys, they were, and remain, completely unique.
@@debbiethomas3687 ok, so please share some of your favourite?
@@ai.201 The group "OM" is even MORE spiritual...they will put you in a "trance"if your not careful! How about the "YES"band? ENYA is pretty evolved also!
God, we need music like this today. Beautiful, positive, full of love. The Moodies were so good.
A spell that has lasted for 50 years and still brings back a lot of really good memories.
We'll said
The Moody Blues comforted me and opened the doorways of my mind to far off lands and distant shores😊!
Thanks for all the Moodys, L was listening to this when the album came out.
Somehow, this song is quintessential Moodies. Without getting into details, the nights I spent with my wife in our younger years listening to this and other Moody Blues songs were some of the greatest nights ever. The melodies bring back thoughts of a time when life was less encumbered. The Moody Blues are one of the great bands of all time.
My wife and I saw the Moody Blues every time they came to Southern California. I've been listening to them since the 60's.
@@billneice3747 yes was probably late 60's for me..my brother had the album EGBDF and I was caught been hooked since....never got to see them live though not when you lived in country part of Australia...
Psychedelics with your mate is unmatched💯
So sad thad young people today don't have the music of the 60's and early 70's to caress their senses.62 and still carried away by it.So wonderful,so grateful!
And I hope after all these years you are still listening to them.
we lived through a beautiful time period...except for vietnam and the race riots...
Mystical and Magical beauty...💙💙💙💙..
So far far far ahead of their time!
Very far, just like the music of, The Doors.
Wrong Grasshopper! Right on Time and always when we need it.
:)
I agree 100%
Dats of future passed...😁💜💙👍
I think I am-I know I am so blessed to have grown up with their music
You were, and so was I :-)
me, too! I used to put on my (huge) head set, kick back in my wrap-around chair and listen to the Moody Blues for hours. Even back then I knew they were "ahead of their time". even now, their songs apply to what is going on. And their love songs are eternally timeless.
Kim Andrews Descartes
me too!
Who in the fuck is doing this artwork? God damn. Where r the prints. Im old school & all we had was the album covers.
Favorite group of all time. Fell in love with my future wife to their music. Still in love 49 years later
God bless your marriage Stephen!
Beautifully said and completely true for so many of us who grooved to the Moody Blues all those years ago.
We'll probably never see such mastery of the metaphysical again.
I thank God I was born at the right time to have had this experience.
truth!
LSD is still out there if you look hard enough and it's still transforming lives
Many of us have been blessed to be a part of the journey, of this magnificent band.
Brings back so many good memories of my youth. What a great time
to grow up with this fantastic band. ❤️
Moves me as much as it did in '69
This has got to be my favorite movies song of all time I have loved it since 1971 or two
Discovered them in 69-73 while in college. No car, no tv, cell phones or computer....but I did have this music.
Still listening in 2024 at young age of 73.
Ray Thomas' flute solos on this song never get old. I could listen to them again and again..
My Girlfriend and I listen almost daily. Never get tired of this beautiful music.
65 here, lol I was late to the party, didn't start listening til like 1973. I play these songs with my grandchildren, they have transposed the flute to keyboards and harmonicas.. as for me, I'm opening the between the days festival 8/6.. was wondering if could ever play live again.. yeah it's a Jerry/Dead tribute festival but I'm opening with a Moody blues acoustic..
@@jamespriest9658 You wouldn't maybe have the sheet music for the flute parts, please?
Surely one of the most beautiful songs from the ethereal Moody Blues
Magic never grows old.
My four year-old grandson connects to this song he can sing it!
Always find my way drifting back the the moody blues, so happy to have lived in the era of real music
This is life as I give to you.
Ray Thomas wrote the most beautiful music
Still incredible after all these years!
Despite all the loss and heartache, sadness and depression I've suffered, this song reminds me that behind this illusion, there is pure magic as well as purpose, simply because we exist in the first place...or as John Lennon said in a song - 'projecting our images in space and in time"
This song has become the hymn for my depression, in a nice way. It's a signal of hope, it's my light at the end of the tunnel. It's what reminds me that tomorrow will be another day, and it will be better than yesterday.

This song, literally saved my life.
Breathe deep. Gentle soul. Tomorrow is less wrong than today.
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel the moody let you see it...glad your still here even though I don't know you❤❤❤
There is always a song of hope in the Moody blues so stay positive and tomorrow will be better if you allow it to be. Songs like this one take us back to magical times around Arthur etc. best time of our history. Merlin etc. stay positive and plan your future and go for it. Good luck my friend.
One of my favorites but hard to choose there all wonderful....
Merlin certainly cast his spell for you, wonderful song
What a time that was, magical, wonderful music. Moodies are musical royalty.
Vision Quest
Let Merlin cast his spell, !!!!
this is definitely a ray thomas inspired tune. the moody blues had so many great song writers and vocalists. we only have JUSTIN HAYWARD, JOHN LODGE, AND MIKE PINDER left. RIP ray and graeme.
there's no one like them, I am 68 ,still listen to my orig vinyl ,cds ,tapes in the garage . streaming in the car! they have been a staple ,and always will be!
The extraordinary talent of the group, Mike Pinder in particular.
It's the mellotron, the flute, guitar and Justin's voice❣️❣️❣️
mike pinder-former leader of the moodies at his best........
I went out of state to college in 1970 freshman year. I did not know myself but I knew The Moody Blues recordings. I never lost the love of the power they created.My God has patience and love for me and brings me home each time I reach for him through their creations.
Mike Pinder just passed away...the founding member of the group...RIP Mike...enjoy the afterlife
Now you know how nice it feel's, yes,I do Justin... You make my day, listening to your voice...🥀🥀🥀🥀..2022...
At their peak the Moody Blues have to rank in the top 10 rock groups. No doubt, they were light years ahead of time.
Absolutely beautiful...whoever gave this thumbs down shouldn't even bother listening to it. Just go off in their dark little hole and stay there. Moody Blues will live on long after the men are gone..
Always ahead of their time. Always touching my soul.
I was a17 year old kid when I saw the Moody Blues for the first time in 1971 at the Atlanta auditorium. That was a special time for me and all of us now old farts. The Mooody's were the best band of those days. No other band played anything like them. Thanks for the song and memories.
they are way "deeper" than most bands out there thats for sure! Pure TRANSCENDENCE!!Your "HIGHER" self LOVES them.... I'm sure of that....!!!!
I've been a huge Moody Blues fan since the late 60s. This song highlights how, in my opinion, Justin Hayward had the most beautiful male voice ever in the history of pop/rock music. It's good to see that even now, there are so many of you out there who still understand and appreciate how incredible this music was, and sad to think that it's like will never again be created.
RIP RAY THOMAS ! The music will live on....
Although this is not their most favored work, I believe that it fully defines them. A day without the Moody Blues is a day without wonder and sparkle.
Those pieces which are not "their most favored work" are among the best, and because they got little air play except on FM back in the late 60s/early 70s, it becomes a well-kept secret that those of us who revere the Moody Blues have had all to ourselves.

Its my favorite.
Brian E…perfectly said!
Been a fan over 50 years. The only Moody I missed in Live shows was Mike.....yet he's the only one I've met. A wonderful man !!
Timeless Enchanted Music ! I love it !
Truly can not get enough of this Song... It takes me on the furthest journey thru the tallest trees to the smallest part of being..
They wrote songs full of imagery and beauty ! Full of spiritual truth .
I love Moody Blues music no matter wath people of the other age said because everything changed and people changed in decline way..
So happy hearing the music of The Moody Blues being played. This group's music is unbelievably beautiful and mesmerizing and a lot different from any other types of music being played at that period in time. So many beautiful tunes and sounds. In Search For The Lost Cord is one of my favorite albums, but then again, all of this group's albums were absolutely beautiful...very soothing and almost spiritual.
The Moody blues are the magical mystery tour!
Einen guten Tee, einen Joint und Entspannung für die Seele. I love Moody Blues.
I saw my first Moody Blues concert in 1969, and my 75th Justin, Moody Blues show this April, and hope to see many more of Justin and John.
I was in uniform and this was the first song I heard when I got back in October, 1969. I bought the album and practically played the grooves off of it during the month before I went back. This is a timeless group of real musicians who were an enigma in their day. Still are to me.
Moody Blues , there music is a healer and many different ways I love this beautiful music!
You certainly have fantastic taste in music my friend. Keep listening.
The singularly most underrated musicians in the history of music.
A Travesty that they have not been recognized by the R&R HoFame.
I guess you missed that they were inducted in 2018 just after Ray Thomas passed away..his son went in his place. He died knowing they had finally got voted in,not that they needed it. Those who know their music ,know they are one of The best groups to ever perform.
The Moody blues always gives you amazing songs :)
well at least while mike pinder was with them...later...well,not so much! Ha ha..
Mr Mike Pinward You have wonderfull noise.
ONLY FOREVER WILL LISTEN AGAIN
AND AGAIN...SEE IT,THROUGH THE
WINDOW PANE...SEE?
Quite simply the Moodies greatest track ever, Magic !
Love this album. Ran a needle through it when I was young.
Keep the Moody Blues here.
Boy, doesn't this take you back about 1500 years or so? Nice.
Qwikin Inn .........yes it does...........
MB est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière !!
In Far Off Lands, On Distant Shores, So Many Friends to meet. Going to put that on my headstone.
just imagine them playing On the Threashold of a Dream at Glastonbury...saturday night, the mist rolling down off the Tor...how mystical and magical would that be
That Would Be A Magical Night ! On the Isle of avalon.
RIP Mike Pinder
Who would think I'd be kicken back comfortably in the mountains of baja listening to this tune.
Infinitely more than just "A rock n roll band!" :)
My favorite Moody's song from the very first album I ever bought. When listening to it, I close my eyes and drift back to my teen years of the 70s and relive them as if they were yesterday. So calming and such wonderful memories.
One of my all time favourites from the greatest band ever THE MOODY BLUES
I could not agree with you more, well said! Those are my sentiments as well.
"are you sitting comfortably as Merlin casts his spell". A mesmerizing song, from a mesmerizing album, from a mesmerizing band.
This song takes me back to a wonderful time in my youth. Listening to it with my HS girlfriend...
Long before there was 'Game Of Thrones', there was The Moody Blues.
been a fan since I first heard them in 73, seen them many times, love this track. one word sums up the moodys,, CLASS.
john bruce I first heard of them when I was in the Navy. I had to go to a Supply ship after a part for my ship and the Storekeeper had a tape of the Moody Blues going while he worked in his stockroom.
The Moody’s cast their spell on me when i was a mere 12 years old......now 62
Me too.
The R&R Hall of Fame is just the outhouse behind the Moodies Hall of Fame.
Present-day, I'm a Jackie Joyant, like Coldplay, numerous bands and styles, but I always come back to my teen beginnings with the Moody Blues & Yes. Some things never grow old.
You are so right Renard. My son got me hooked on a lot of alternative bands that are out now. However, I did the same with him, with all the bands i grew up with, including these wonderful musicians.I'm 62 now and it's great to know than my son loves a lot of the music I liked. I wish more of the younger generation would listen....actually listen...to this wonderful music. Maybe we wouldn't have a lot of the crap that's out now.
Music is the heart of the soul... The Moody Blues are exqusite and mesmerizing!!! They are the best band in the world!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙......
I remember a wonderful weekend of love listening to this in my youth. Where have the years gone?
this is honest,real,music, great Melody's and it's really good big fan since I was 15 I'm 58 now never gets old
2022 bump. This song captured the romantic dreamscape of psychedelia perfectly. Really evoked a mystical fantasy you wanted to believe in. The 60's were a creative Renaissance for sure...
The Moodies are not your typical human beings...they are highly evolved artists who perfectly reflected the BEST of the late 60's... a search for meaning/Flower children/LSD experimentation/they all meditated(TM) also...they are a VERY unique group of guys/were all lucky to have them for inspiration! PEACE/LOVE.
