It's amazing what happens when there were less distractions and things pulling at kids growing up. You look at all the great musicians and song writers from the 60s and 70s who spent hours and hours just listening and playing music. Even when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s there were a lot more things to draw attention away. I mean, just in TV channels alone from 3 major networks in the US and most families having one tv to dozens of channels and almost 2 or more tvs in every household.
@@NasonJPR In the uk we had just 2 tv channels in black and white and no pc or mobiles/cell phones - even shared a 'party line' with a neighbour (if you picked up the receiver to dial and heard them, you'd put it back down and wait) when I was a kid . And guess what? spent my childhood and youth going out to be with my mates as much as possible. Real mates, real contact, absolutely zero false/fake so-called Facebook 'friends' and lots of real, lasting relationships. I'm aware you're talking about creative influences, but similar applied. If I had a bit of cash saved up when a teenager, loving poetry, I'd take 2 buses into town to go to a book shop's poetry section and buy a paperback. Much more space of all kinds to think individually and be creative in.
@@NasonJPR On the flip side of that coin there are a TON of young musicians out there today writing, recording, and producing their own music and putting it out there on platforms like TH-cam, SoundCloud, and Spotify. So in a way, young, aspiring musicians have more opportunities to not only create but also share their art with the world without having to be “discovered” and signed by a major record company. Sure there are a lot of kids that are distracted by things like video games and whatnot but there are some amazing bands I have discovered that I have never even heard of it weren’t for modern technology. And no it doesn’t sound like the classic music of the 60s and 70s...but that music didn’t sound like the music that came out 40-50 years earlier either. A great example is a band called Lake Street Dive. They were a group of musicians that met while attending the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and started gaining popularity through videos they would post on TH-cam playing covers of classic songs like “I Want You Back” by the Jackson Five on the streets of Boston. That video gave them millions of views and ended up getting the attention of record labels. If you haven’t heard of them I would HIGHLY suggest checking them out. Their Jackson 5 cover is a good place to start but they now have just released their 5th studio album. You would probably like them because they are heavily influenced by bands from the past. Their lead singer, Rachel Price, has a timeless voice and the musicianship and backup vocals are world class. I’d recommend the songs “Mistakes,” “I Can Change,” “Rental Love,” “Good Kisser” and “Bad Self Portraits, as good starting songs. The first two I listed, Mistakes and I Can Change, have such a timeless quality I had to look up the writing credits to make sure they weren’t covers of older songs and sure enough they were all written by the band. Anyways, sorry I kind of went on a rant their but please let me know what you think if you check out any of their music. I’ve seen them live 5 times now and they are just as good in concert as they sound in the studio. :)
This song has got bars. So beautiful.❤️ Thank you for your reaction to this. "Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room...Impassioned lovers wrestle as one..Lonely man cries for love and has none...." That's genius, plus the music.🙆♀️
Jennifer, the whole album is a complete journey through a day, although the edited version was pulled out as a single this song is part of a suite where tracks segue into one another. 'Days of future past' was one of the early concept albums, the era when rock and pop grew up and became an artform rather than just 3 minute catchy pop songs to pick and mix from. The intention was just as he said, you needed to take time out to sit and chill to this music, it's not singalong background stuff, if you want to get the most out of it you find time when you won't get disturbed and layout with headphones on and absorb the atmosphere they beautifully created. They didn't use a full orchestra after this album, but with the use of a Mellotron keyboard, which created a similar but more ethereal sound, they could take their songs on the road. I'd recommend 'On the threshold of a dream' as their best album, but all of those first seven albums are brilliant, very mystical and enveloping.
Most def. Roger! This band is uber nostalgic for me. Especially their track “Wildest Dreams!” I so remember being a kid...whilst hearing that magical song so long ago for the 1st time! Oh to go back, if only for a little while! 💙&✌🏻
@@beckystarrski excellent way to put it. I’ve thought that very thing many times. Perhaps not due to that particular song, but it certainly gives me a new perspective upon it. ☮️
The very first time I ever heard this song in its entirety it made me feel something I could not describe. It was mesmerizing in a way that no song has ever made me feel. I rarely listen to it. Why? Because I never want to lose that feeling. It's just so different. It's a song that hits you in your soul. A song like this is one that you listen to rarely so it doesn't become normal and lose its special something. I haven't listened to it until tonight for years. For a reason. I don't ever want it to become just another tune. That would be disrespectful to the artistry that went into t. And, ruin that special something that it stirs in the soul. I hope you and others can relate to where I'm coming from.
Going down the Moody Blues rabbit hole will take you places you’ve never been before. This is the last song of an album about a day in a every mans life. It starts at dawn & ends with night. Their catalog is immense, varied & spectacular. My favorite is The Story In Eyes from the album Every Good Boy Deserves Favor. You have to listen to the beginning of the album which starts Procession which fades into Story. All early Moodies albums began with an intro that led into the first song & all the songs faded into the next. Other must listens: I’m Just A Singer In A Rock and Roll band written in response to fans thinking The Moodies were prophets & could change the world. Question, The Actor, Lovely To See You another first song with an intro. Ride My See-Saw. Newer songs: I Know You’re Out There Some Where, In Your Wildest Dreams & another fave, The Voice. The first 7 albums affectionately known as The Core 7 were recorded in 5 years in the 60s-early 70s. Many fans including me consider them to be the true Moody Blues. They took a break & came back with a different sound but still incredible music. Tuesday Afternoon is from the same album as Nights and a must listen. If you want a darker, ominous song, which I adore, listen to The Other Side of Life from the album of the same name. Great video too.
I agree with you! IMO, the best way to listen to the first 7 albums of the Moody Blues is grab some headphones, lock your self into a room by yourself, and listen to the entire album(s) from start to finish. (A little weed wouldn't hurt, but not really necessary). I've been a fan since 1965 and have been to 4 of their concerts. Absolutely amazing.
Saw their first appearance in Seattle in 1967, what an AWESOME concert. We went crazy loud cheering them, screaming more, more. Singer said to us, no one has ever cheered for us ever. We don't have any more music. So we will play our show again. They did.
It's so tremendous to see reactors from every musical tradition - rock, metal, opera, hip-hop, rap, country, and no doubt others - recognize the sheer perfection and power of this song.
This song was before my time but My parents did play lot of 50's and 60's and 70's music. I just love this song it's beautiful and groovy at the same time.
Finally! Been waiting for someone to put on a Moody Blues song. But, don't stop. This band was at the top with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who. So many fantastic albums. Must take them in chronological order as we did. Amazing instrumentalists and songwriters, The Moody Blues!
OMG, I love that you have the full version. I love it when music is made to be epic, but when time and experience make it, EPIC, oh the music is so much sweeter.
Next Moody Blues I recommend: Lovely to See You Great reaction, butterflies in the stomach is a good way to describe the experience of listening to these guys. Their music speaks straight to the soul.
New Horizon's is superb!!I love Tuesday Afternoon,Simple Game,Question and many many more!!Mike Pender playing the Mellotron enhanced their sound so brilliantly!!!🤗
@@davidduxbury7530 By the Seventh Album Mike got Himself a Brand New Mellotron,the Commander 7. The used one they got from the Dunlop Mellotron Company where Pinder worked at was permanently retired.
Check out these Moody Blues hits: "Go Now" (their first hit), "Ride My See Saw," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Question," "The Story in Your Eyes," "I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock 'n Roll Band)." The Moody Blues were one of the best groups of the '60s to emerge from the British Invasion.
"Go Now" had a different line-up, but it was my introduction to the Moody Blues, and for their first 7 albums, there wasn't an album I couldn't listen to from start to finish
@@jennd8935 only two members were different, Denny Laine and the bass player, Mike Pincer, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge were in the band for a long time after they reformed with Justin Hayward and John Lodge.
I feel very blessed to have seen these guys live in concert, with that song included. I was young and didnt want to go but looking back it was so amazing.
The best band, along with the Beatles. They had different styles, but yet had a similar theme, especially with the later Beatles songs. They both enjoyed exploring the inner regions of the mind, as well the outer regions of the universe.
Moody Blues are excellent, they can rock out with the best of them too. Try 'singer in a rock n roll band' it's a banger. You need merch that says, "LISTEN MAN, LISTEN!
Listen, man! This is one of my Mum's favourite songs! Thanks for this. Mother's Day is approaching fast in Australia and I will show her this video! You remind me of one my friends, a die-hard fan of the band I was in, who always made music fun! Thank you!
Their early stuff are concept albums and to really get it you need to go front to back . if you do an album go with Threshold of a dream. You wont regret it Enjoy.
@HazeBruv Great classic, & awesome reaction. I love The Moody Blues! I’m a fairly new subbie to your channel. I’ve really been enjoying watching you react to such great timeless music. This particular song is so very nostalgic for me. My folks had/have the record/vinyl! I’d listen to it when I was a kiddo. Thx for this. I personally have not heard it in a long time, so it was kind of like reacting to it with you..if you will all over again. Have a wonderful weekend. ✌🏻&💙
I first heard this song when my oldest brother bought the album and played it. It instantly became and still is today my favorite song as no other song makes me feel the way I do as this song does. It's amazing this song 57 years later makes people that heard it for the first time feel the same way I do even though it may not be their favorite song.
There is no telling when I first heard this song but it had to be a few years after it came out. So around 1970 or so. Been enjoying it for many decades now, damn its good to be getting old.
If you want to hear some down and dirty rock n roll, listen to the audio version of Mississippi Queen, by the band Mountain. It'll blow your mind. One of the best rock songs ever.
Moody Blues are a great group that invokes a need to trip on shrooms and just chill. It’s from the album Days of Future Passed and you can trip on shrooms but I’ve smoked we’d and just sat back and felt the music. It’s an experience
It's a trip for sure. When the body and mind start being separated by the sound, it's OK. The Moodys will bring you back safe and sound. Like the Grateful Dead or Allman Brothers. It's all good.
Now you're getting into music that will change your life my friend. Sit back and enjoy.
The lead singer guitarist Justin Hayward wrote this beautiful song in 1965-66 when he was 19 or 20 years old it boggles the mind.
It's amazing what happens when there were less distractions and things pulling at kids growing up. You look at all the great musicians and song writers from the 60s and 70s who spent hours and hours just listening and playing music. Even when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s there were a lot more things to draw attention away. I mean, just in TV channels alone from 3 major networks in the US and most families having one tv to dozens of channels and almost 2 or more tvs in every household.
@@NasonJPR In the uk we had just 2 tv channels in black and white and no pc or mobiles/cell phones - even shared a 'party line' with a neighbour (if you picked up the receiver to dial and heard them, you'd put it back down and wait) when I was a kid .

Real mates, real contact, absolutely zero false/fake so-called Facebook 'friends' and lots of real, lasting relationships. I'm aware you're talking about creative influences, but similar applied. If I had a bit of cash saved up when a teenager, loving poetry, I'd take 2 buses into town to go to a book shop's poetry section and buy a paperback.

@@danielswood well the UK was the best for music back then probably still is
1967, what a year for music.
The passion in Justin Hayward's voice touches your soul.
I absolutely LOVE this song
So do I😁

The poem takes my breath away. It is so beautifully written so deep
The entire album is flawless, worth the listen. Ethereal and Eternal...
It's a masterpiece ❤️
A 1000 % , I agree , I was a kid 1st time I heard this , I have loved it fo 50 yrs , thank you so much , luv ya , you make me smile 💕💖💕💖💕🌞✌👋🏻👋🏻
One of the most beautiful songs ever made!!!
No other group ever did it like this they are unique
Beautiful song 😊 love it 💕💕💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Another side of the Moody Blues is, “ I’m just a singer in a rock-n-roll band.” It’s so different from this song you’ll think it’s another band.
Yes, it's a banger, complete opposite of the masterpiece he just enjoyed
I'd prefer "The Story In Your Eyes"
@@allengator1914 a good choice, indeed.
Ride my seesaw, excellent, upbeat song.
This is a masterpiece speaking to the future.
Their second through seventh albums are pure gold. Each one is a mind-expanding musical journey.
AKA The "Classic 7"!
wow, never heard the full version, only the radio length back in the day...so beautiful...

You need to hear this entire album. Performed with the London Festival Orchestra!
I totally agree. The whole album is awesome. Best track: All of them. Worst track: You're kidding, right?
And progressive rock was born.

It is a unique composition and I've heard nothing else like it. I think many people had reactions similar to you and can relate with you.
I listen to the whole album whenever
I need to. It’s therapeutic.
Puts my head back on straight.
Awe, the 70s! An amazing time to be young!
This is 60’s.
Heartbreak. Angst. But oh how beautiful and profound.

I agree! I fall asleep to the album at least once a week! Beautiful work of art is an understatement
Just last night “Reflections of my life” by Marmalade played on the radio right after “Knights in white satin” making my world right again.
Saw their first appearance in Seattle in 1967, what an AWESOME concert. We went crazy loud cheering them, screaming more, more. Singer said to us, no one has ever cheered for us ever. We don't have any more music. So we will play our show again. They did.
So glad you did the long version with the poem ❤ great reaction 🙂
Great reaction! Moody Blues is very ethereal... Pink Floyd has that quality too!
Best version!
It's so tremendous to see reactors from every musical tradition - rock, metal, opera, hip-hop, rap, country, and no doubt others - recognize the sheer perfection and power of this song.
This song is still amazing after all these years...I really enjoyed watching you listen and appreciate this💕💕💕
This song was before my time but My parents did play lot of 50's and 60's and 70's music. I just love this song it's beautiful and groovy at the same time.
Ah you got the long version, that's the best. Moody Blues are one of the earliest and best prog rock bands ever.
Oh, he never would have heard the end of it if he had done the radio edit!
Dave Oplinger -
😄
The group was expected to do Dvorak's New World Symphony but Justin said it was a ploy for them to roll the boulder over the asylum,and let them play
60s best music ever
Finally! Been waiting for someone to put on a Moody Blues song. But, don't stop. This band was at the top with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who. So many fantastic albums. Must take them in chronological order as we did. Amazing instrumentalists and songwriters, The Moody Blues!

Moody blues.... Story in your eyes
The Moody Blues combined classical music, poetry, and contemporary rock into something really unique. Plus they used flutes

A Classic. One Of A Kind 🕊❤mlm
The best way to listen to this is to have your eyes closed.
This is my dad's all time favourite song
He wants it played at his funeral which I hope won't be for many many years
Loved hearing this for the first time back in the early 70's when I was a teenager. Still loving it today in December 2021
That's not the ending to the song, it's a transition to the next one. The song is everything before the transition - a masterpiece, of course
Moody Blues are excellent, they can rock out with the best of them too. Try 'singer in a rock n roll band' it's a banger. You need merch that says, "LISTEN MAN, LISTEN!
Procul Harem A whiter shade of pale is another Brit classic...wonderful!!!🤗
Hello Hazebruv. I love it man, we went from reacting to Metallica to Moody Blues, talk about a great transition. Love your channel!
Do TUESDAY AFTERNOON!
Do QUESTION!
Do THE STORY IN YOUR EYES!
When you first heard as a young it sounds big great mood music
Also, You and Me, Out and In, Melancholy Man
Listen, man! This is one of my Mum's favourite songs! Thanks for this. Mother's Day is approaching fast in Australia and I will show her this video! You remind me of one my friends, a die-hard fan of the band I was in, who always made music fun! Thank you!
thanks man! 🙏
Welcome to The Moody Blues.
@HazeBruv “Wildest Dreams” by The Moody Blues! I really think you’ll enjoy that song!
It’s quite magical! 💙✌🏻
This version was on the This Is The Moody Blues compilation issued in 1974.
Oh, this my friend, is the first step into the rabbit hole!
The 60s were a different time. Feels like I’m Travelin. Music brings us together. How about sly stone, if you want me to stay” ??
Has to be Top 5 all-time emotional song ever written and performed (both perfectly)
Their early stuff are concept albums and to really get it you need to go front to back . if you do an album go with Threshold of a dream. You wont regret it Enjoy.

Isn't it something? I never tire of the feeling it invokes.
BEFORE Pink Floyd’s Dark Side,
there was The Moody Blues
“Threshold Of A Dream”
Another great one you should listen to
beginning to end.
👍
A symphony met rock and roll......also known as the Moody Blues.
Most of their albums were concept albums. You start with song one on side one and each song flows into the next all the way to the last song.
Now you need to hear (and see) the live version performed with full orchestra decades later. 🙂
1967...great times
I fell asleep at one of their concerts LOL!!
Mind music
Moody Blues "In your wildest dreams" and "Candle of life" ❤️
A journey - part of a larger journey - keep listening to their work.
another great british band .from our small island .
OOOoooo, jazz flute. Nice.
I first heard this song when my oldest brother bought the album and played it. It instantly became and still is today my favorite song as no other song makes me feel the way I do as this song does. It's amazing this song 57 years later makes people that heard it for the first time feel the same way I do even though it may not be their favorite song.
Another good one of theirs, which hardly anybody mentions, is 'Go Now'.
There is no telling when I first heard this song but it had to be a few years after it came out. So around 1970 or so. Been enjoying it for many decades now, damn its good to be getting old.
This song always reminds me of a special weekend at the coast with my long lost love
The Moody's played with the London Festival Orchestra conducted by Peter Knight..the 45 version omits the Orchestra.
The flip of the single was Cities.
Justin Hayward wrote this when he was 17. But you should give "Tuesday Afternoon" by the band a spin.
This was one of the first albums produced with Stereo sound. The label wanted to include orchestral elements to showcase the new sound.
perfect for peace and passing out
Flue Solo by Ray Thomas Mellotron by Mike Pinder augmented by the Orchestra at the end! The Mellotron could be an Orchestra.
The Moody Blues 'Candle of Light', 'Never Comes The Day' and 'Melancholy Man'.
If you want to hear some down and dirty rock n roll, listen to the audio version of Mississippi Queen, by the band Mountain. It'll blow your mind. One of the best rock songs ever.
Very cool to see you have such an open musical mind. You’re awesome
Honey i love your sincerity so much!! Been following for a long while. 🙏🏼💕 Such a classical piece!!!
GREAT SONG INDEED
Written as a love song to his soon to be wife
The second favorite song from the Moody Blues is Ride My See-Saw
I wore out several copies of this album.
The 70s were trippy.
I saw them live.
It sit back and enjoy
Moody Blues are a great group that invokes a need to trip on shrooms and just chill. It’s from the album Days of Future Passed and you can trip on shrooms but I’ve smoked we’d and just sat back and felt the music. It’s an experience
It's a trip for sure. When the body and mind start being separated by the sound, it's OK. The Moodys will bring you back safe and sound. Like the Grateful Dead or Allman Brothers. It's all good.
