U571...I'm 66..bad health but, these guys were brilliant...know how got name...must have choked a lot of idiots now....talented in abundance. ..fantastic music ...be safè people...like fab 4 will play 4 millenniums
The Moodys were so far ahead of their time and so underrated - their songs were simply brilliant and transcended all other bands. I am 70 years old and never get tired of listening to them. Thank you Justin, John, Ray, Graeme and Mike- you are the source of my inner peace.
The Moodies were the most influential musicians of my teenage years. Their songs touched me profoundly, and while some of my friends felt they were boring musicians, I believed the Moodies were almost preaching with their lyrics. To me each song had a profound message that literally touched my soul, and to me that produced what I felt was a real spiritual high. Starting with Days of Future Passed, each succeeding album was eagerly anticipated and every single one released did not disappoint. Still to this day I get a tingle in my chest when I play some of my favorite Moodie ballads. I know that there are many of you out there who feel the same way about our beloved Moody Blues.
I'm 5 years younger than you, but as a 14 year old I always heard their music as I started hanging out with other people in high school. I totally understand what you are saying, I know people who LOVE THEM, and dislike them. LOVE Have you Heard. Peace
Yes same for myself and millions of others ....The Moody Blues had a sound of their own and they knew how to brand their music very well indeed at the time .
So nice to read all these comments and realize there are so many others who get the Moody Blues. What a gift they have been to those of us who love them.
@earthtruthhunters…..actually, in 5 short years (1967-1972) The Moody Blues released a run of 7 albums, often referred to as “The Core 7”. From “Days Of Future Passed” in ‘67 through to “Seventh Sojourn” in ‘72. Many folks (myself included) believe these albums to be the band’s finest works.
@@lindadote you are absolutely correct. Threshold of a dream or 7th Sojourn, I am loathe to say one is better than the other. All 7 albums remain some of the deepest, most mystical music ever written. And I doubt those tiny purple pills had anything to do with my coming to that conclusion. Although, I could be wrong. Bless you today and God bless the Moody Blues.
How can this possibly be 54 years ago.............. The Moody Blues were one of the most unique bands ever, combining ROCK and CLASSICAL music seamlessly.
I had never heard anything quite so marvelous. And yes, it's been 54 years. Poof! My friend at College had built his own sound system with valves and a great record player, so I was one of the few fortunate ones to hear the warmth and precision of the recorded albums.
If you still get goosebumps over a bands music after all these years, you know how great they are. I'm 63 now and The Moody Blues are just that.....INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!
I'm 74 and thankful that I was alive at a time in history that The Moody Blues music could have had such a great and transcendent influence in my life! Long live their music...
this bands music is the best thing for my mental stability, I just love listening and laying back and letting the music take my mind where it needs to go
As being of a certain age (74) I too, extoll the power of the Moodies. The ideas in their first seven albums (the sacred 7) were the messages I needed to hear at the time. I still live my life by them. So far ahead of their time. And like the difference between shoot-em-up games and Myst, the Moodies are a unique and shining example of excellence.
Very well stated. I too am 74 and have followed MB all my life, never tiring of their lush arrangements. I took my wife to see them in Texas ( before Graeme's departure); She asked why the audience (fans) all had white hair? I explained that these fans are loyal, lifetime followers!
The Moody Blues made music that glides between space and time, lifting us into the pastures of the sun and putting our souls to flight. I am deeply grateful to be born in the 1950s at a time when magic and mystery enriched our minds and music rocked us like a mother 💐
Mike Pinder said something like ( but I am not quoting here ) : ' Keep your head above the clouds but your feet on the ground ' ... Amen to that. I just heard about his passing on 4.24.24 at age 82. RIP Mike Pinder, thanks for all of the great music !!
Amazing to read the comments and realize how many people my age, are still following this excellent, gifted group of musicians. What a gift they continue to be. They sooth my heart and mind. Thank you Moodies!!
I can hardly put to words how much their music has influenced me. They are gifts from God, brought about and put together that we should hear the beauty of Gods love in music. I have gone to see them five times and have been blessed every one of them. I feel like the music in "Have you heard" was being played when God was forming the world and man.
YES, their music is timeless and has staying power for many generations of people to enjoy their good spiritual contemporary music and lyrics and my life is enjoying every moment of their musical classics. Thank You Moody Blues. I look forward to Tuesday Afternoon.
RIP to Mike Pinder...The last original & co-founder of this incredible group of musicians. Saying ‘band’ seems hollow regarding the Moody Blues. I got turned on to them at 12, b/c my college sis had their music. And all the greats of that time. I was done!👍 Lost count how many times I saw them over the decades since 15. I liked your comment. Would never thought of it that way. This channel puts it mostly new age, which is no surprise. But I don’t think I will hear this again, w/o thinking of God’s mighty hand forming all Creation.🙌 I look so fwd to what’s waiting for those who love Him, for all eternity. We can’t even imagine! With this now sour world as it is, I’m ready to move on as soon as He calls!👍 I’m so hoping Mike found his way to Jesus, too. And the rest of them, who’ve gone before us.✝ I’m going to focus more on getting the Best News Ever out, to all w/an ear to hear.♥✝🙌 Time’s not on anyone’s side at this point. And ppl need to know that what awaits is beyond their wildest dreams! (no pun intended) _If_ they choose Him. Seems you have, too. :). Don’t be shy in sharing. 😁
Listening to the Moody Blues got me through two Army deployments back in thev70s. Now I am in my 70s and this music still provides inspiration and healing that works me and you
Think of otherworldly, Merlin & Camelot, fantasy truth and a a huge AWAKENING IN SPIRIT flying through the UNIVERSE & beyond....other portals So grateful beyond words to still be REAWAKENED IN 2023.....who else is here???? Thank you so much for this beautiful music and this wonderful group
I just LOVE these guys!!! I listened to them from day one during my teenage and turn on years. I’m now 70 and still enjoy them! Innovative with their synthesizers. So cool!
Mike pinder is amazing! He sometimes gets forgotten when moodies are extolled, I do love other moodies but Mike was as important, in some ways more? Because of their signature mellotron sound!! Thanks Mike for your precious contribution!
@@jonathanbernal2179 Not too much an ELP fan. (but I liked 'Lucky Man') and as for YES I like "I've Seen All Good People". But the Moodies, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Led Zep were the "entire- album-front-and-back" supergroup bands that I loved! Back in the day, my husb. and I had some 4' Klipsch Corner Horns that would blow your hair straight back! And when I first heard Frankenstein through quads....it was sublime!
Was this group that far ahead of its time ?!!..... I was in the US Marine Corps 71-74.... I listened to the Moody Blues EVERYDAY.... their lyrics,sound and harmony carried me through that time....and has NEVER left me....there will never be another band like them
The Moody Blues is/was the most progressive rock band I've ever listened to over the years. In 1967 I was skeptical, but by 1968 I was a true believer.... and I still am. Their music made you think, and think hard... and it still does today. Their music is endlessly poignant. The one thing I wanted most in my life was to hear them live. Unfortunately that will more than likely never happen.
Mike Pinder, RIP. Justin was the heart, John was the beat, Ray was melodeon, Graeme was the poet, and Mike was the soul. I hope to come back in my next life as a mellotron.
"Each day has its always; a look down life's hallways, doorways to lead you there." Mike has opened the door and passed through. I'm not in any hurry, but I'll look forward to seeing you there. Thanks for all the music, Mike.
This was when the Moodies were at their peak. To our children's , children's, children album then Threshold of a Dream. Insanely hypnotic. These guys must be from another planet.
Used to spent a whole nights listening to the Moody Blues tripping on acid, their music just took me away. To this day their music fills my heart and soul.
During the Seventies and Eighties I did acid about a dozen times. I REQUIRED them after the first few. Music sets the trip and with MB I always knew that it would be a good one.
@@stackystackpole8826 Now it’s RIP Mike...😔 I truly do hope they are. ♥✝🌅 Incredible group of musicians, that gave us the _best_ progressive rock sound _ever._ Album after extraordinary album.💜 In an era of overall, the best rock music of a generation...or 2. ;) Great times. Wonderful memories. 👍
One of the finest pieces of music ever written. It gets into your soul and is always there, gently, in the background of your mind, whispering, "have you heard...?"
"The world's smallest symphony orchestra". No session musicians or pre-programmed gubbins here. Just 5 men - musical geniuses - and their own instruments - mellotron, piano, flutes, guitars, bass guitar, drums. They used to perform this whole suite live on stage, too!
Now that I have an M0000d I began listening to the Moody's again. I am so moved by the works, Creativity, and imagination of Mike Pinder. I see the cello, English horn, mkII violins in the songs.
I was blessed enough to experience that!💜 Saw them live many times over decades. RIP Mike Pinder.💔 The soul of the group w/his incredible Mellotron...& voice that went right w/it.
❤the Moody Blues helped me through some hard times, I'm 72 years old and I still listen to them . When I get sad loss of a love one ,stressed etc,if people would just listen to the lyrics, it helps
So magical, it make's me want to put my ballet slipper's on, and fly and dance!!!! Go to my dancefloor, and whisp around... Love this band!!! The best ever!!! Thank You, Moody Blue's..💙💙💙💙... 🥀🥀🥀🥀... 2022...
This a group that told stories in their music unlike others , in my opinion the best of the era and still unsurpassed , seen them twice in the UK and enjoyed them absolutely brilliant.
The Moodies were among the best messengers of the idealism 60's and 70's. The optimism of the youth then seems to have disappeared by the end the 70's. What happened? I pray the the next generation or 2 will see a revival of that collective spirit. Keep spreading the word by spreading the music of that time. This music and its message are timeless. Mike, you will not be forgotten.
I brought my 12 year old musically inclined son to a Moody Blues concert and he was completely blown away!! He is 45 now!! Lol!! Once a fan always a fan!!
I bought this LP when it was released and still have a tear when I hear it, the kids of today need to go back in time and tune in to the music of yesteryear, they would thank us.
An English school chum played the first 7 albums for me when I was 13. I'm 63 now 50 years later I'm still listening and the music has gotten better with every album put out. This band keeps evolving, it's amazing!!! Thanks to all the Moody Blues Past Present & Future.
In their modesty and humility, I seriously doubt if Justin & Co. can fully conceive the astounding effect their beautiful music & lyrics HAVE had - and STILL have - on generations of their fellow human beings. After 50 years of wonderful appreciation, all I can say is 'Thank you Moodies for providing the best part of my life's soundtrack'
I concur, thank you is not enough, the Moodys could fill in the blank spots of my days and nights all through this world and beyond! Will always Love this music!
LochSween..... Good comment but i recently saw the Isle of Wight DVD from 1970 and John Lodge said that "That I feel that we helped make a difference in the World." And I think his words ring true....and new people all the time hearing this timeless stuff too.
one of the best, deepest poetry songs ever produced with incredible visuals! The Moody Blues had the largest influence in my life, their lyrics, music and presence on stage.. The are a huge Light in my life's journey on so many levels.. Blessings and gratitude always for their existence and creativity!!!
Gorgeous, sumptuous, spiritually beautiful song, poem, lyrics, music... what more could you want? Moodies are my forever band. I have loved them for 50 years...here's to another 50 plus eternity!!! xxx
Those of us who first heard their message, and followed, will never forget how to live in the light and know their is something even more wonderful beyond.
Never to be duplicated....amazing....todays music cant come close to this. Its what music is supposed to be. Puts me into a place that nothing else can. Phenomenal.
well said carole...earths goin through sum big changes now...evolve or die/ live in the light or perish in the darkness/ its time to awaken to who we really are..beings of love!
This group best of my life, I was young and now I"am old even means more to me in the NOW a big part of my reality . Thank God for the Moody Blues, A brilliant light in the darker parts of my journey . The beat goes on forever!
My favorite album early on and for all time is The Children's album. It ties my then girlfriend, now wife to happy times in college with friends doing a rather rare thing for its time, spelunking or, caving. Hard to explain, easy to feel. No doubt, apart from the sheer consistent genius and deeply textured indelible sound, it WAS chick make out music.
This group has always been so much more to me than just the music ! They have touched my soul and keep teaching me important lessons . They were overwhelmed by the phominom years ago and published Were just a singer in a rock and roll band but the magic lives on . There music instantly transports me back to 1970 when I was just 18 and ready to take on the world and now at 66 I still am ! and don't ever forget who I am or what I stand for . And when I am troubled and lack direction a couple of moody's tunes and I'm wound back up for another go at changing the world ! :) I hope others share this magic too !
i've been a moody blues fan since "go now" but only recently have rediscovered the group and how deep and true their lyrics are. their music ( yes rappers and millennials, THIS IS MUSIC - instruments and all-:) was, i think, in an era where spirituality barely was mentioned, if at all fro my recalling. i say spiritual because this is how i feel about their lyrics. and this must be true because when i mention how deep/spiritual their songs are, my wife just gives me a "uh-huh" and goes back to sleep-:)
I'm 75 and have followed the Moody Blues since I first bought Knights in White Satin. I had all the albums on vinyl, now I have them on CD. When they brought out Knights, it was a totally different music, that hasn't changed with time. Seen them twice, once in Southampton and once in the Royal Albert Hall. To me their music was utterly fantastic in the 60's and is still so. I can listen to it for hours.
I am sorry you lost your brother, dear one; however, he is not your 'spirit guide'. Do not be deceived by familiar spirits. Believe only in the resurrection of the dead by Jesus Christ, who is the only propitiation for your sins & my sins... we cannot atone, except for Christ's atonement. Peace, sister.
@@ResearchSoundLab THANK YOU, I SEE HIS FACE WHEN I AM ASKING FOR ANSWERS. I WILL PRAY FOR HIS ASSENTION TO THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND TRUST MY GUIDE IN WHAT EVER FORM IT TAKES.
I managed to buy a record of this band only in the late 1980s. What a pity that we could not enjoy this beautiful music in childhood and adolescence! Only drops came from behind the iron curtain! I remember in what yearning I lived then. I missed this music. Now I try to catch up.
Better late than never. You and we are so blessed. We are joined in a timeless experience. The music speaks in ways we can never say on our own, so all together the music speaks for us all and forever.
+Mark OBLAZNEY You know, the drummers of the Prog bands were generally the best in rock because they could keep up with the atmospheric and more complex rhythm ,
This is the very first album I heard by Moody Blues and it is the one I always come back to....incredibly moving and spiritual experience, and....it builds on itself. You can listen to the album one day, and hear something that resonates with you and then listen to it again a week later and it will bring you something different. Thankful.
If I was ever to go on a Space Odyssey this is one of the songs that would be in my music collection..... along with many other Moody Blues songs. You can never have too many or listen too much to the Moody Blues' music. The older I get the more I appreciate their music... as I always have.
74 years old. The Moodies are my all time favorite band. Ray Thomas wrote the songs that were a telling of my life. Lucky to have seen them live 4 times.Their music is positively genius and way ahead of its time. RIP Ray, Mike, and Graeme
The Moody Blues are like "aloe vera" for the soul...when the stress of living in this modern world "burns you out" their music is there like a soothing balm to cool you down , and bring you back to healthy mindset of serenity and inner peace / namaste.
Honest to god, this is a wild story. Apparently, I heard (heh) this song a long time ago and the melody around 3:40 That bit had gotten stuck in my head, so for literally 8+ years I was trying to figure out why I was always humming that tune. I kid you not that I eventually walked into my living room and my mother was listening to this exact song, when i heard the melody I recognized it immediately. Best thing ever.
@@objetty11 The Floyd was cool. But the Moodys were the voice which resonated with me from the day I heard Tuesday Afternoon on a little portable radio in 1968. I was 15 and it blew my mind. In the words of Graeme Edge: "Love of love, love of life, And giving without measure, Gives in return, a wonderous yearn Of a promise almost seen, Live hand in hand, and together We'll stand on the threshold of a dream."
I Love the Moody's.. Reminds me of driving at Night in my 1955 MG Magnette..With 8.Track Stereo.! Listening to On the Threshold of a Dream.. That Album can just take You to a different..place..Fantastic memory's. Such an underated band..Long live the Moody's."..Brian Bungay Way.🎼♥️👍🏽
I do not understand why many commenters say the Moody Blues were under-rated. Simply not true. The Moody Blues have always been highly regarded in the musical industry. If nothing else, the sales of millions of albums is testimony to their success.
@@redhillrecordshelsinki2829 It was listening to this on TH-cam that got me back into the Moodies after much too long a break - and got me replacing all the albums I'd lost along the way, so illegal or not it was win-win in my case and this album was top of my list for this track alone.
The Moody Blues are Spiritual...and...there messiage is about life!!!...U can relate to them...most bands today have nothing...all noise and no message!!!!!. Thay Have Harmony in their songs...Days of Future Passed and On A Threshold of a Dream..are my favorite Moody Blues Albums...With The Other Side of Life and I know U are out there somewhere...Also...The Moody Blues are on my list of Favorite Bands!!!!
If you listen to Moody Blues you can hear they're not one person that is the Heart and soul of this master of work. "It's all of them". Being a musician for better now 50 years covering a lot of music in my time. They're a lot of great band that stands on their own. But other than the writer, It's the talent combined that makes it work not just one. They "Moody Blues" stands on their own.............
Mike McGinnis I can play every part I'm 61 years old with a shitload of talent ,I named my son Justin. I discovered them as a young violinist with a rock band. Working on my own concept album, maybe I could use a job, I've got the gear and I know everything about stagecraft, I toured with manilow in 1980. Now, how serious are you.?
A League head and shoulders above the rest. Want to just transcend into a dimension of true expansion of the mind? Headphones, nightlight only, and relax to let yourself go.... A look down life’s hallways
been a fan since 1965; I'm now 68. I'm mostly a fan of their first 7 albums starting with Nights in White Satin. Also have seen them 3 times in concert. What a trip!
@Joanne Davis - I've been a fan since '65 and I'm going to turn 71 in January, 2020. Your last sentence says it all! They weren't everyone's favorite band, but just about everyone enjoyed their music and originality. The Rolling Stones were unquestionably a band with millions of fans, but the Moody Blues actually sold more records and tapes!
‘Threshold’ is my favorite Moodies album... One of the best albums ever... Not necessarily their best individual songs but like Sgt Pepper’s in that the songs compliment each other so well and the atmosphere and mood is so thick...
Justin has said ...... I miss his songs. Pinder was a wizard with that old analog melotron. Nothing like it. I too, miss his songs ... but I will never stop listening to what he was able to give us with his band mates. The Moody Blues are as good as it ever got.
This is not music......it's a freaking trancendental experience...... a masterpiece.
YES!
U571...I'm 66..bad health but, these guys were brilliant...know how got name...must have choked a lot of idiots now....talented in abundance. ..fantastic music ...be safè people...like fab 4 will play 4 millenniums
Yep !

I understand Brother. Mamasan's O bowl and Moody Blues (In Search Of The Lost Chord) after a day in the fray kept us sane . . .
Just don't understand the dislikes how can anyone not like The Moody blues they're awesome!!💯💯💯💯💯
There are those who don't have the ability to appreciate the fine arts in the music industry. It simply goes over their head.😎

Mike pinder is amazing! He sometimes gets forgotten when moodies are extolled, I do love other moodies but Mike was as important, in some ways more? Because of their signature mellotron sound!! Thanks Mike for your precious contribution!
It broke my heart when Mike left.
Yes! Like Edgar Winter and the Moog synthesizer....he was the first artist I heard incorporate it into his music (Frankenstein 🙂)
@@paulalowery7411 don't tell me you missed ELP, YES, King Crimson, etc.?
@@jonathanbernal2179 Not too much an ELP fan. (but I liked 'Lucky Man') and as for YES I like "I've Seen All Good People". But the Moodies, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Led Zep were the "entire- album-front-and-back" supergroup bands that I loved! Back in the day, my husb. and I had some 4' Klipsch Corner Horns that would blow your hair straight back! And when I first heard Frankenstein through quads....it was sublime!
Pink Floyd and
The Moody Blues are philosophically trippy.
Was this group that far ahead of its time ?!!..... I was in the US Marine Corps 71-74.... I listened to the Moody Blues EVERYDAY.... their lyrics,sound and harmony carried me through that time....and has NEVER left me....there will never be another band like them
I really agree with you. USN 70-74 for me. The Moody Blues are the best.
Semper Fi Mac,new river 73-75 where were you.
Nothing better than the Moody Blues on headphones. They carried me through 4 years in the US Air Force….69 thru 73.
When I was in Nam, we didn't have much music, Moodies all the time.
Bless you X
Perhaps the best 10 minutes ever recorded.
The Moody Blues are the highest form of rock music. A delight to the spirit and the senses.
Uh, no.
@@audreylofstrom8899
Uh, yes
@@audreylofstrom8899
Sorry, maybe
Not Rock Music at all, much higher plain.
Yes, like Queen.
The Moody Blues is/was the most progressive rock band I've ever listened to over the years. In 1967 I was skeptical, but by 1968 I was a true believer.... and I still am. Their music made you think, and think hard... and it still does today. Their music is endlessly poignant. The one thing I wanted most in my life was to hear them live. Unfortunately that will more than likely never happen.
Mike Pinder, RIP. Justin was the heart, John was the beat, Ray was melodeon, Graeme was the poet, and Mike was the soul. I hope to come back in my next life as a mellotron.
No human words can describe the beauty of the Moody Blues.
what about OM ...or AUM...for a couple of hours,days,years .....only that SOUND,..tru it is NOT a word
I am nearly 70 I found them as a teenager, they are as brilliant now as they were then, mesmerising ❤❤
I remember these albums so well. I was just a boy, but my dad had The Moody blues on the turntable constantly
"Each day has its always; a look down life's hallways, doorways to lead you there." Mike has opened the door and passed through. I'm not in any hurry, but I'll look forward to seeing you there. Thanks for all the music, Mike.
This was when the Moodies were at their peak. To our children's , children's, children album then Threshold of a Dream. Insanely hypnotic. These guys must be from another planet.
Used to spent a whole nights listening to the Moody Blues tripping on acid, their music just took me away. To this day their music fills my heart and soul.
During the Seventies and Eighties I did acid about a dozen times. I REQUIRED them after the first few. Music sets the trip and with MB I always knew that it would be a good one.
Bottle of Zambrusco, good weed, and a woman you are totally infatuated with. Great times! The woman is long gone but the memories and music live on!
RIP, Ray Thomas. May your music, and that of the Moodies, be heard, always !
It's a Mike Pinder song
@@stackystackpole8826 Now it’s RIP Mike...😔
I truly do hope they are. ♥✝🌅
Incredible group of musicians, that gave us the _best_ progressive rock sound _ever._
Album after extraordinary album.💜
In an era of overall, the best rock music of a generation...or 2. ;)
Great times. Wonderful memories. 👍
Criminally underrated masterpiece
50 years ago I first heard the Moody Blues. Been listening ever since. Here's to the next 50😊
Moody blues, Yes ,Pink Floyd, took all of us beyond Earth.
One of the finest pieces of music ever written. It gets into your soul and is always there, gently, in the background of your mind, whispering, "have you heard...?"
Kept me from losing it all. I saw hell, these tunes brought me back to peace......thank you so.
I agree
Unique band with unique messages. Nothing like them before or after. They are forever part of me.
Pleased to make this 1500 likes ; unique band. Grew up with the Beatles and Stones but these are far far, better, than both.
"The world's smallest symphony orchestra". No session musicians or pre-programmed gubbins here. Just 5 men - musical geniuses - and their own instruments - mellotron, piano, flutes, guitars, bass guitar, drums. They used to perform this whole suite live on stage, too!
You're right. They also played saxophone and harmonica, Ray; cytars (sp), cellos, John and Justin.
that's a great way to put it, The worlds smallest symphony orchestra I like it
Now that I have an M0000d I began listening to the Moody's again. I am so moved by the works, Creativity, and imagination of Mike Pinder. I see the cello, English horn, mkII violins in the songs.
Sad that Mike Pinder is no longer in the band. He gave as much as the rest of the band members.
I was blessed enough to experience that!💜
Saw them live many times over decades.
RIP Mike Pinder.💔
The soul of the group w/his incredible Mellotron...& voice that went right w/it.
❤the Moody Blues helped me through some hard times, I'm 72 years old and I still listen to them . When I get sad loss of a love one ,stressed etc,if people would just listen to the lyrics, it helps
This song is like a piece of art.
61 years old here, never get tired of this, it transcends ......everything!
I turn 70 in 4 days and agree w/you. Many times I listen to the Blues and cry for the feelings this band has given me
So magical, it make's me want to put my ballet slipper's on, and fly and dance!!!! Go to my dancefloor, and whisp around... Love this band!!! The best ever!!! Thank You, Moody Blue's..💙💙💙💙... 🥀🥀🥀🥀... 2022...
Love to see a video of that dance.
The moody blues got me thru my military days
What incredible music
So underrated
RAY THOMAS LIVES IN OUR HEARTS.
THANK YOU RAY.
Yes, but it’s Mike Pinder here.
Masterpiece.💜
Hope he’s in paradise’s masterpiece.♥✝
This a group that told stories in their music unlike others , in my opinion the best of the era and still unsurpassed , seen them twice in the UK and enjoyed them absolutely brilliant.
The music is so soothing and so heart warming. I can listen to Justin and the Moody Blues ALL DAY
The Moodies were among the best messengers of the idealism 60's and 70's. The optimism of the youth then seems to have disappeared by the end the 70's. What happened? I pray the the next generation or 2 will see a revival of that collective spirit. Keep spreading the word by spreading the music of that time. This music and its message are timeless. Mike, you will not be forgotten.
I brought my 12 year old musically inclined son to a Moody Blues concert and he was completely blown away!! He is 45 now!! Lol!! Once a fan always a fan!!
My first time hearing this - I AM BLOWN AWAY! WOW! They were channeling the lyrics & seeing the future - I do not doubt!!
Their greatest trilogy. Absolutely mind blowing.
One of Mike Pinder's many gems, it was a centerpiece of their live shows during late 60s to 1973.
Great guys making timeless music no drug scandals or sexual exploits
I bought this LP when it was released and still have a tear when I hear it, the kids of today need to go back in time and tune in to the music of yesteryear, they would thank us.
An English school chum played the first 7 albums for me when I was 13. I'm 63 now 50 years later I'm still listening and the music has gotten better with every album put out. This band keeps evolving, it's amazing!!! Thanks to all the Moody Blues Past Present & Future.
In their modesty and humility, I seriously doubt if Justin & Co. can fully conceive the astounding effect their beautiful music & lyrics HAVE had - and STILL have - on generations of their fellow human beings. After 50 years of wonderful appreciation, all I can say is 'Thank you Moodies for providing the best part of my life's soundtrack'
Very well put, Blessings
I concur, thank you is not enough, the Moodys could fill in the blank spots of my days and nights all through this world and beyond! Will always Love this music!
LochSween..... Good comment but i recently saw the Isle of Wight DVD from 1970 and John Lodge said that "That I feel that we helped make a difference in the World." And I think his words ring true....and new people all the time hearing this timeless stuff too.
How can such young men be so damn thoughtful and mature ……?
one of the best, deepest poetry songs ever produced with incredible visuals! The Moody Blues had the largest influence in my life, their lyrics, music and presence on stage.. The are a huge Light in my life's journey on so many levels.. Blessings and gratitude always for their existence and creativity!!!
I agree with all you've said. Such an influential band with meaningful lyrics. I never tire of listening to them!
Very spiritual, romantic, ethereal and helped calm me through much of my teen years.
Today it still speaks to my inner child and my spirit. Love them.
An absolute musical masterpiece
I read "An absolute magical place".
It's a magical place
@@AichnerChristian Yes, that too.
1 of many...

MoodyBlues: This musical group has impacted, with their
Music (50 Years)
This group is:
#1 of many!
Gorgeous, sumptuous, spiritually beautiful song, poem, lyrics, music... what more could you want? Moodies are my forever band. I have loved them for 50 years...here's to another 50 plus eternity!!! xxx
Those of us who first heard their message, and followed, will never forget how to live in the light and know their is something even more wonderful beyond.
Never to be duplicated....amazing....todays music cant come close to this. Its what music is supposed to be. Puts me into a place that nothing else can. Phenomenal.
well said carole...earths goin through sum big changes now...evolve or die/ live in the light or perish in the darkness/ its time to awaken to who we really are..beings of love!
HE awaits
This group best of my life, I was young and now I"am old even means more to me in the NOW a big part of my reality . Thank God for the Moody Blues, A brilliant light in the darker parts of my journey . The beat goes on forever!
50 yrs later and they r still a WOW.
My favorite album early on and for all time is The Children's album. It ties my then girlfriend, now wife to happy times in college with friends doing a rather rare thing for its time, spelunking or, caving. Hard to explain, easy to feel. No doubt, apart from the sheer consistent genius and deeply textured indelible sound, it WAS chick make out music.
This group has always been so much more to me than just the music ! They have touched my soul and keep teaching me important lessons . They were overwhelmed by the phominom years ago and published Were just a singer in a rock and roll band but the magic lives on . There music instantly transports me back to 1970 when I was just 18 and ready to take on the world and now at 66 I still am ! and don't ever forget who I am or what I stand for . And when I am troubled and lack direction a couple of moody's tunes and I'm wound back up for another go at changing the world ! :) I hope others share this magic too !
i've been a moody blues fan since "go now" but only recently have rediscovered the group and how deep and true their lyrics are. their music ( yes rappers and millennials, THIS IS MUSIC - instruments and all-:) was, i think, in an era where spirituality barely was mentioned, if at all fro my recalling. i say spiritual because this is how i feel about their lyrics. and this must be true because when i mention how deep/spiritual their songs are, my wife just gives me a "uh-huh" and goes back to sleep-:)
As a 65 year old I can only support your comment, I keep looking for the birds in the sky
I'm 75 and have followed the Moody Blues since I first bought Knights in White Satin. I had all the albums on vinyl, now I have them on CD. When they brought out Knights, it was a totally different music, that hasn't changed with time. Seen them twice, once in Southampton and once in the Royal Albert Hall. To me their music was utterly fantastic in the 60's and is still so. I can listen to it for hours.
Nights, not Knights. Please get it right. Another common mistake people make is Past instead of Passed in Days of Future...
Thanks. ! The moody Blues ,Changed my Life! And Still Are ,! ✌
Mike Pinder left this for all to enjoy forever.
Classic Moody Blues. ❤
I was lucky enough to grow up in this era

MY LITTLE BROTHER, IS NOW MY SPIRIT GUIDE. YES, IS HIS FAVORITE GROUP. HE WAS 53 WHEN HE LEFT THIS EARTH. AHO BROTHER.

A'HO.....YES HE IS YOUR GUIDE.....💖🌟😇🙏💖🙏
I am sorry you lost your brother, dear one; however, he is not your 'spirit guide'. Do not be deceived by familiar spirits. Believe only in the resurrection of the dead by Jesus Christ, who is the only propitiation for your sins & my sins... we cannot atone, except for Christ's atonement. Peace, sister.
@@ResearchSoundLab THANK YOU, I SEE HIS FACE WHEN I AM ASKING FOR ANSWERS. I WILL PRAY FOR HIS ASSENTION TO THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND TRUST MY GUIDE IN WHAT EVER FORM IT TAKES.
I managed to buy a record of this band only in the late 1980s. What a pity that we could not enjoy this beautiful music in childhood and adolescence! Only drops came from behind the iron curtain! I remember in what yearning I lived then. I missed this music. Now I try to catch up.
I'm soo sorry this was kept from you in your youth....glad you are finally able to hear this incredible band
Better late than never. You and we are so blessed. We are joined in a timeless experience. The music speaks in ways we can never say on our own, so all together the music speaks for us all and forever.
you deserve the gift
Happy you can hear it now.. sorry that it was kept from you.. Music is Universal it should be all over the world, all of it. Where are you now?
dont eat fast food... to late?
One of those rare songs you just have to sit in silence after it's done, preferably in the dark, to finish absorbing it.
+wolfowned what a wonderful way to say it…….. perfect.+
+Mark OBLAZNEY You know, the drummers of the Prog bands were generally the best in rock because they could keep up with the atmospheric and more complex rhythm
,
Graeme Edge is an amazing musician....
Maybe a candle also.
And being stoned also helped! Ha! I grew up in the 60's & 70's & being stoned definitely helped! Peace.
This is the very first album I heard by Moody Blues and it is the one I always come back to....incredibly moving and spiritual experience, and....it builds on itself. You can listen to the album one day, and hear something that resonates with you and then listen to it again a week later and it will bring you something different. Thankful.
I never tire of hearing the Moody Blues and the beautiful music they created been listening to them since the sixties and still enjoy the music.
Mike's command of the Mellotron really stands out on these songs! For me, the Moody Blues without Mike isn't the Moody Blues......
Mike Pinder was like Pink Floyd's Rick Wright. He was the one who tied it all together
If I was ever to go on a Space Odyssey this is one of the songs that would be in my music collection..... along with many other Moody Blues songs. You can never have too many or listen too much to the Moody Blues' music. The older I get the more I appreciate their music... as I always have.
74 years old. The Moodies are my all time favorite band. Ray Thomas wrote the songs that were a telling of my life. Lucky to have seen them live 4 times.Their music is positively genius and way ahead of its time. RIP Ray, Mike, and Graeme
The Moody Blues are like "aloe vera" for the soul...when the stress of living in this modern world "burns you out" their music is there like a soothing balm to cool you down , and bring you back to healthy mindset of serenity and inner peace / namaste.
Honest to god, this is a wild story.
Apparently, I heard (heh) this song a long time ago and the melody around 3:40
That bit had gotten stuck in my head, so for literally 8+ years I was trying to figure out
why I was always humming that tune.
I kid you not that I eventually walked into my living room and my mother was listening to this exact song,
when i heard the melody I recognized it immediately.
Best thing ever.
Give your mother a hug, music from heaven.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 Will do!!!
The moody's will always stay in my mind, and my ears. Thank you for the music
RIP Mike Pinder.
This was one of my favorites.
This was the genius that was Mike Pinder. RIP Mike.
Moody blues obviously set a bar unreachable for other artist. One song is like going to a cinema
Last forever tripping
Take me to the cinema and leave me in a Wimpy bar... no?
try 10cc...second sitting for the last supper.... whole album is great. and no, im not in love.....
Um, Jay there is this band named The Pink Floyd and while i dig the Moody Blues PF created the bar....aloha
@@objetty11 The Floyd was cool. But the Moodys were the voice which resonated with me from the day I heard Tuesday Afternoon on a little portable radio in 1968. I was 15 and it blew my mind. In the words of Graeme Edge:
"Love of love, love of life,
And giving without measure,
Gives in return, a wonderous yearn
Of a promise almost seen,
Live hand in hand, and together
We'll stand on the threshold of a dream."
I Love the Moody's.. Reminds me of driving at Night in my 1955 MG Magnette..With 8.Track Stereo.! Listening to On the Threshold of a Dream.. That Album can just take You to a different..place..Fantastic memory's. Such an underated band..Long live the Moody's."..Brian Bungay Way.🎼♥️👍🏽
I do not understand why many commenters say the Moody Blues were under-rated. Simply not true. The Moody Blues have always been highly regarded in the musical industry. If nothing else, the sales of millions of albums is testimony to their success.
I think they mean critics and the average heavy rock fan.
No other band sounds like the beautiful Moodies and this is an old favourite. Thanks for sharing.
Even though might be illegal to listen cant help but agree its one of the best & most beautiful songs ever. Respect 2 dj honda 4 flippin this
@@redhillrecordshelsinki2829 It was listening to this on TH-cam that got me back into the Moodies after much too long a break - and got me replacing all the albums I'd lost along the way, so illegal or not it was win-win in my case and this album was top of my list for this track alone.
The Moody Blues are Spiritual...and...there messiage is about life!!!...U can relate to them...most bands today have nothing...all noise and no message!!!!!.
Thay Have Harmony in their songs...Days of Future Passed and On A Threshold of a Dream..are my favorite Moody Blues Albums...With The Other Side of Life and I know U are out there somewhere...Also...The Moody Blues are on my list of Favorite Bands!!!!
If you listen to Moody Blues you can hear they're not one person that is the Heart and soul of this master of work. "It's all of them". Being a musician for better now 50 years covering a lot of music in my time. They're a lot of great band that stands on their own. But other than the writer, It's the talent combined that makes it work not just one. They "Moody Blues" stands on their own.............
No I haven't but will...m putting a Moody Blue's tribute stage band together...Thanks
Mike McGinnis Yes they were/are all very different people.
Absolutely brilliant so invigorating no matter how many ties you listen to them...
Mike McGinnis
I can play every part I'm 61 years old with a shitload of talent ,I named my son Justin.
I discovered them as a young violinist with a rock band.
Working on my own concept album, maybe I could use a job, I've got the gear and I know everything about stagecraft, I toured with manilow in 1980. Now, how serious are you.?
A League head and shoulders above the rest.

A look down life’s hallways
been a fan since 1970 , I'm now 58 ... it's been an incredible journey. . R-I-P Ray Thomas. ...
been a fan since 1965; I'm now 68. I'm mostly a fan of their first 7 albums starting with Nights in White Satin. Also have seen them 3 times in concert. What a trip!
Jenn D I’ve been a fan since 1968 and I’m 66. What good times then and a much gentler world.
@Joanne Davis - I've been a fan since '65 and I'm going to turn 71 in January, 2020. Your last sentence says it all! They weren't everyone's favorite band, but just about everyone enjoyed their music and originality. The Rolling Stones were unquestionably a band with millions of fans, but the Moody Blues actually sold more records and tapes!
R.I.P Ray
Ray was a gentleman....and founder of the band.
‘Threshold’ is my favorite Moodies album... One of the best albums ever... Not necessarily their best individual songs but like Sgt Pepper’s in that the songs compliment each other so well and the atmosphere and mood is so thick...
Without a doubt Mike Pinder was the driving force behind The Moody Blues. Such a creative genius. So gifted!
Yes but Justin Hayward was no slouch either.
Yes, Justin was the front man and the one with the voice. He played a major part in their best songs
Definetely My Favorite Moody Blues Epic ,Mike Pinders Unbelivable !!! All members Are tight very Melodic Love it Enjoy you All
This song alone should
Of put them in the hall
Of fame.
Justin has said ...... I miss his songs. Pinder was a wizard with that old analog melotron. Nothing like it. I too, miss his songs ... but I will never stop listening to what he was able to give us with his band mates. The Moody Blues are as good as it ever got.
