    Justin Hayward with the dreamy, passionate vocals and soaring guitar work, Mike Pinder contributing the gorgeous swelling Chamberlin strings, Ray Thomas adding some beautiful flute, John Lodge laying down groovy bass lines, and Graeme Edge punctuating it all with great drum fills. From my favorite album - Seventh Sojourn released in 1972. RIP to Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge and wishing continued health for Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Mike Pinder. Classy and unique band. Happy they were finally inducted into the RRHOF a few years back. Cheers Harri!

    I was fortunate enough to see them do this song live in the early 70’s. I love the continuous flow of the music. I think the 60’s from a music standpoint started in 1963, and didn’t really end until 1974, maybe 1975.

    "Brush away the cobwebs from your daydreams" is such a BRILLIANT line! Another amazing song by Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues. I agree Harri, Paul McCartney and the Moody Blues have so much in common, they both have such an ability to write songs with great melodies. This is one of my favorites, not only is the melody beautiful but the lyrics really soar! Thanks for a great reaction to another Moodies classic, Harri!

    Hello Harry! Thank you for another brilliant musical review! It is true that the Beatles and Moody Blues knew each other for a long time. Note to all, please correct me: A long time story I heard, true or not I do not know, is that the Moody Blues via Ray Thomas discussed with the Beatles the use of a Mellotron in the production of ‘Strawberry Fields’. Also heard that the Moody Blues on occasion used Apple recording studios. I think this particular subject is very interesting for a variety of reasons; the very high number of spectacularly talented musicians from the same time period and same geographical area, the influences shared, etc.

  • @Oldstager

    Superb track from an amazing band. The Mike Pinder years were underrated. As stated the first seven albums were so great and the ability to follow up after the split seemed impossible. The style changed but I enjoyed all the rest. Justin and John have great voices but don’t forget Ray who gave such different style on his tracks. Thanks Harri for a brilliant review.

    • @NYCOPERAFAN

    • @springertube
      @springertube ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​​@@NYCOPERAFAN Yes, just wasn't the same with the otherwise very well credentialed Pat Moraz from Yes replacing. He didn't sing but as new keyboardist just too showy, flamboyant (for the Moodies)--and the rest of the band seemed to go with that for awhile, almost like they were the ones under the audition microscope, having to prove themselves and not Moraz. Same kind of uncomforfable/bad fit change with Chicago's new young shirt-open-to-the-belly Peter Frampton-esque gunslinger after Terry Kath died.

    And yes, Harri, I know what you mean about your comparison with Paul McCartney. I also wished that McCartney would’ve worked with Justin Hayward or The Moody Blues at least once. But, I suppose that may have been complicated regarding the members of the Moody Blues.

    It is, off, by far the best Album they ever did and that is saying something. I first heard them in December 1967 in this format. That was Nights in White Satin which I believe was popularised by a US DJ who wanted a long track so he could leave the desk for a few minutes. Maybe a crafty Reefer. You should remember in those days Radio constantly played short songs so most stations would never think of using a song much over 3 minutes long.

The song is a gorgeous and emotional celebration, and here you are talking about when it was written. Why aren't you just allowing yourself to FEEL the song, EXPERIENCE the emotion? I don't believe this is your first listen to this song. I think you have listened to it and analyzed it to death before you made this post. And now you are so anxious to show off your anylytical skills you can even wait for the end of a line to hit that button and give us the benefit of your skill and knowledge. Dammit.
