The Moody Blues.. can only do these songs.....Days....and...on a Threshold....two of their Greatest Albums ever.....had both in the early 1970s on Cassette and Albums.... now I'm 62 years old.... still listening 🎧...who is with me listening 🎧 to this in 2024😊
Me at 72 years
Still with you. Saw them live 4 times..going to see a tribute band with a full orchestra on the 11 th. Never get tired of listening to them since I first heard them on my brothers 8 track in 68. First 8 track tape I brought for my 67 lemans when I got my license in 1970….Great dating music in the back seat!
I am 73 and still love it. Saw them a few years ago, awesome. Nights in White Satin.will still be good in 50 more years. I really like the graphics too.
These young lads helped me heal from my time as a Navy Hospital Corpsman in Vietnam. They somehow made the world make sense again.
I have loved the Moodies since listening to them in 1967. Their music is timeless. Wonderful compositions. Luv the greatest band ever!
I’ve loved the Moody Blues since 1969. They’re the very best.
I pray the Moodies will all be in heaven and play some impromptu concerts for the fans❤
I just want to go to heaven and know that I will still be able to hear the Moodies when I get there …
I am here, sitting comfortably, it's Tuesday morning, and I have met someone and I'm hoping that we are on the threshold of a Dream.🌛✨
If I were marooned on an island, and had only one band to hear, I would choose the Moody Blues...
On my deathbed, I only want to listen to the beautiful and gentle Moodies. The music of my soul. My favorite band since I was 15 and in 50 years have never tired of them.
They are the greatest ever and forever
Right!!? I have not listened to them for quite awhile and ever soo calming ❤️
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Pink Floyd, the WHOLE album Dark Side, also!
YESSSS!!
I've loved their music for 50 years too. It's perfect.
The Moody Blues came to the Kentucky State Fair, of all places, and gave a concert there back in the early part of this century. I took my older sister, who clearly had misgivings about any group I was so enthusiastic about. But she was completely enthralled by them! No surprise there. I gave her one of their albums so she could continue the awakening at her home. 🙂
Good Job !!
They're one of the groups that, if all other music disappears, I could get through life just listening to them.
I only need their music Carl.They are my souls delight and always will be .God Bless em all.
💟
Right. If you were stuck on a desert Island, which would you pick. for me it would be "On the Threshold of a Dream" Peace to you brother!
@@Paradoxicon999 Peace to you too. Tough choice among Lost Chord, Threshold, To Our Childrens' and Question. Depends what mood I'm in. I have a particular love for Question because I saw them on that tour. I couldn't live without Watching and Waiting, though.
@@carlgold3366 I love the "core eight" albums with Michael Pinder. Tough choices there. I absolutely love "I never thought I'd live to be a hundred/Million". Stay safe friend!
The Moody Blues are totally in a class of their own. I think 🤔 they’re historic.
yes...the're histerical..esp. with the "lazy day" lyrics
@@mustangmikep51 What?
@@nickbloom6861 history....histerical....its a joke...a play of words...sorry/bad joke
I hadn’t played on the threshold of a dream for 10 years, and tonight I relaxed and listened to it again. I’d forgotten what a brilliant arrangement of sounds and lyrics they produced , I was transported back to my fond youth when I played the grooves off this album. Now 65 and still In love with their sound.
Tell me about it ! I hadn't listened in years, and now have a different, yet similar perspective, to it.
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 💐🌷
well said....born in 54......I fully agree
born in '48 and couldn't agree more.
Moody Blues brother you said it
Born in ‘50 … Ditto!🎸💕☺️👍
@Booner761 I was born 1953.At 69 years realized have personally known people born in 3 centuries!Tonite I sing Never Comes the Day at karaoke. Don't think I'll raise the goosebumps that song gave me since was 19.Seems best way to say thankyou to those artists.
54 years and counting. I will always love their music. These songs never get old.
No other group has had the power to make my soul soar above the clouds or to bring tears to my eyes like the Moody Blues. True power through magnificent music.

Well said my friend. The Moody Blues were on another rock dimensional plane all their own. Their music was uplifting, thoughtful, and brought emotion to us.
@@ericsays8801 Amazing what a little LSD and Meditation(TM) will do for your creativity...and it didn't hurt that they were all great musicians to boot!
@RUSSIAN ROBOT the flower will blossom when it is READY...and not before...I was READY this lifetime+am eternally grateful to the events in my life that helped me "BLOSSOM"...(from an old "FLOWER CHILD" of the 60's)
Exactly💖
I'm 72 and keep "riding your see-saw" since I was 14...
Lyrically and musically, there are not too many bands out there that wrote so many incredible songs. What a magnificent band.
My wife and I saw them the year before drummer and Moody poet-lauriate Graham Edge died. She kept saying "I didn't know they did that song too!"
I still remember hearing "Nights in White Satin" on my car radio on a lonely overnight drive Christmas 1967. I was overwhelmed with the lyrics and the instrumentation. Later, having bought "Days of Future Passed" and, even now, few days go by when I don't find myself singing one of their songs softly to myself, some 54 years later. Justin Hayward has an incredibly expressive voice and his music writing is beyond compare. Timeless.
"Never comes the day" is the perfect song with perfect
lyrics, exceptionally sung by the brilliant Justin Hayward.
Brian, that is one of my favourite songs by these great musicians. However, the song that edges out Never Comes a Day is New Horizons off the Seventh Sojourn album. They had so many great songs.
LONG LIVE "THE MOODY BLUES" !!! I SAY THIS BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED THE BEST DAYS OF MY LITTLE SO CALLED LIFE WITH THESE GUYS!
I listened again. this is such beautiful music Isn't anybody today capable of making music like this?
My dad played me this when I was about 3 or so. Utterly incredible piece of music.
The whole album, I add.
Bless your dad.
So few actually understand that our hearts and souls are still living and crying out for the depth our cousins lay before us...
They were, and are, a musical treasure... when I was listening to them in the early 70's, I had no idea of the profound messages they were sharing. Cheers!
I think that they wrote “deep songs” like a John Lennon deep!!!
Who is Merlin?
@@lesliemultack4548 a V12 2-stage super-charged engine made by Rolls-Royce during WW2 to power the Spitfire and P51 "Mustang" fighter planes...are you REALLY serios? King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table ring a bell? Geez
By far my favorite group of all time
I love the moody blues and now girl friend does too and she doesn't even really listen to music
one track just blends into the other... stunningly beautiful album.
Listening to the Moody Blues' music is all the drugs you'll ever need...... yeah, music is the only drug for the soul. Every song they've written calms you and makes you think more and more. If only life could be a pleasant as their music is, this world would be a much better place.
We are making the world better, by listening to music like this.
Yes The Moody blues were very underrated! But they were very impactful for society! Like LSD! But in a genuine holistic approach! Music is love! David Crosby!
DITTO 🙏💜🙏💙🙏💜
I loved the Moody Blues in thr 70's I was fouteen years old, I still love them today. It's Easter Sunday, we are in quarantine, They can still make me cry -
Amen
When I first heard Lazy Day so many years ago, I thought it had the most beautiful vocal harmonies I had ever heard, and after all this time, it still does. Such a funny little song, with those soaring vocals to make it special.
Ray Thomas was a master at writing lyrics. Try "Thinking is the best way to travel"- a masterpiece, but you have to be lying down, ERYES CLOSED, with headphones..... Kiss Kiss, peace and love!
I don’t need anything when I listen to the Moodies.put my head phones on put on an album and I’m lost in a beautiful journey listening imo.to one of the best bands ever I’m sitting comfortably.
The GREAST BAND IN THE WORLD . Even in there off time the songs were there waiting to be sung.we'll never see this again.
Just listen to the background vocals, folks. Sounds like a men's choir. No one does it better....PERIOD!
The Moodies were a group of their own ,Yesterday, and Tuesday,and not forget the Nights of White Satin,and SO MANY MORE🤗👌🖖👋
Of all their great albums, On the Threshold of a Dream is my favorite. One can get 'high' just by listening to these songs and the moods they evoke.
mine too, my fave....absolutely ethereal
Unlocking the lsd door in your brain. I love that . Yum!!!
Love ur name. Could use about 10,000 of those.😎
My friend I tend to feel differently, I'm so so high that I feel I'm out of. This picture this world Far Far away& life was for making others happy not us😞
i have this on a half speed master. in my top ten favorite albums
Here I am, again on Tuesday. I am so grateful for these songs here. Thank you.
A dream of mine came true on the night my wife and I saw the Moody Blues on stage in Vancouver. Sadly, Ray Thomas had passed but the concert was delightful, ending with The Question as the encore. Fantastic!
This is all you will ever need to listen to. For all seasons and generations
Incredibly deep, textured, lyrical, groundbreaking and the epitome of cerebral bliss. I can not imagine life if the members of this band did not cross paths.
I catch myself whistling all the flute parts, and firing up the old Mellotron for the Pinder parts.
When music still gives you goosebumps, after hearing them for the first time, you know how great the artist is. The Moody Blues are truly great. GOD!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND.
Even better when they give you goosebumps the 1000th time you've heard them
Timeless!!!!
I know what you're feeling, Stephen. The Moodies are just SO wonderful! I pray that their music will NEVER be forgotten by future generations.
@@sharonkelley1530 Thank-you Sharon, for responding to my comment about this wonderful band. I've loved them since I was a child. I'm 64 now. Their music takes you away to a better place.
It was my pleasure, Stephen. By the way, are you a Smothers Brothers fan, too? They are SO funny! And they sing great, too! You'll find a lot of their videos on TH-cam. Enjoy! And long live the Moody Blues!
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MOODY BLUES. THANK YOU.
I find it hard... I love all Moody Blues stuff, but really, this is my number one... I love singing this so much
I have admit I Love the Moody Blues as much as I Love the Beatles. Thank You Ray for the flute. RIP.
One of the most beautiful and unique sounds of rock and roll. Reality with a cosmic and psychedelic sound. It almost seems like they figured everything out. All you need to do is listen. Sounds even better in full stereo.
So true...
I sooner be alive to listen to it all time and time again fore the last 40 odd years. Nothing to compare.
What a magnificent group of musicians!
This is album made a gigantic impact on me the summer of my 17th year. I spent most of the summer with a cousin in Virginia Beach. We lived in a house on the beach with about 20 of his friends. Had my first major love and listened to this album just about every day.
Just came back from Virginia Beach..a real nice place to relax and enjoy some R+R...and watch the F18's fly by....!
jjosport wow me too!but in 1969 in NH
I'm 67 and still love the Moodys...😊
Have always loved the MOODY BLUES since the 60's.
YES! Born in 1950 and discovered Moody Blues while in college! God Bless! :)
Loved them since the 70s
Go now!!
and now your in your 60's!!(like me)
@@amusicalautobiography6629 born in 54 and hooked forever..they are my "drug" of choice...I'm AWAKE for 15 years now, and their music compliments my state of mind perfectly LOVE and LIGHT to all sentient beings! Namaste.
Helped me find a path to my authentic self. How could I repay that gift.
Absolutely the very best rock group of all times. God has truly blessed them. Still rocking concert halls in 2019
Such a beautiful song. It brings tears to my eyes. The Moody Blues are a magically electric lightning bolt to the soul. Transcending the meaning behind what seems ordinary.
A great trio of songs. No musician(s) work like this these days. These are timeless songs. They're incredible!
"If only you knew what's inside of me now, you wouldn't want to know me somehow."
Sadly, these words have echoed in my mind several times over the past 50 years. Excellent song, though.
No other group has talked to me like The Moody Blues....
"It's the most beautiful marriage that exists between sceneography, image and music". Ennio Morricone
The Moodies were/are so unique and extremely talented with a sound of their own, somewhere between rock and folk!
Yes.One of the first to use orchestas, different instruments like the sitar, and that organ like instrument I don't understand. Who wrote these songs? Sounds like a poet. Some of the songs are so simple, like Lazy Day, almost boring, but then...they take you somewhere else. It's amazing. Does anyone know whomever wrote the songs also produced them? The production is the best part of their sound. I love the titles of songs, and album. "In Search of the Lost Chord" Wow, I love that. But I heard one of the Moodies give an interview that they got that line from Jimmy Durante. They are oodly polite, talk well of one another, and seem to be upper class gentlemen...which is unusual for a rock band in the 70s.In other words, until that infamous trial, they seemed to practice what they were preaching, peach, love, togetherness. mixed with these incredible stories, usually love songs. They seemed to be unusually happy people. Then they get this big spiritual following they don't really want and they write that song, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...to tell their fans, yeah, that's all they are. They weren't great singers. But those harmonies were beautiful. It was the way it was all put together, lyrics, prouduction, harmonies, the experimentation with formats....Ride mY See Saw is interesting, is starts fast, does the political or spiritual part, then slows down completely then does a romantic plea for personal change.
@@jschuler53 The organ like instrument was a mellotron the first sampler it worked with tapes of 7 seconds one under each key
@Bill Hulston Hayward*
And classical.
A lesser Gracie t
It is so hard to describe how the Moodys music affects me. I always feel better with a little melancholy.
Also, Candle of Life and Watching And Waiting are almost beautifully haunting and hypnotic all together and mesmerizing!!! Phenomenal!!! I'm smiling big time!!!
Awesome road trip music it is hypnotic
Children's Children has the best Mellotron with Seventh Sojourn (I know Chamberlain) a close second.
Just simply brilliant...way ahead of their time.
"If only you knew what's inside of me now, you wouldn't want to know me somehow" - what an incredible lyric
Thought provoking...that's what they were about.
everyone is hiding something. if someone found out what it was, they would usually shrug and wonder why you beat yourself up for so long
that line is about people's insecurities....great line
He was only 23 or so when he wrote that song. Definitely an old soul. In the same vein, he was The Actor. The lyrics to the gorgeous, slower part of Question also have incredible lyrics that just don't seem like they could come out of someone so young.
@Articulate Management Fair points. I was 23 not that many years after Justin. I wasn't thinking about today's 23 year olds, just my own experience. In any case, I think all the Moodies were uncommonly wise for their ages, at least per what they put in their songs.
Made my 1960s and 70s very special.
You don't have to be stoned to listen to the Moody Blues. That Mello sound still floats you away.
Absolutely right! If folk need to inhale or inject or smoke till "the cow's come home" that's up to them, but the high IS The Music!
@@dougreed2257 I used to be high listening to the Moody Blues, don't get high anymore but the music is still as great as ever
@@heidelberg2358 right on, moody blues music gives you an endorphin high!
Thanks🏃♂️
The brilliant light of Justin Hayward. Never Comes The Day is perfect.
It's the very best song from Justin Hayward..
Took me forever to find the name of this gem. Worth the years of searching!
I think about the days of my innocence. I thought everything was perfect. Then I got older. Wish we had more bands like The Moody Blues.👍🙋♀️🍷💝
The Moody Blues' music help me thur my time in Adak, Alaska. What a time back in 76. What I would do to relieve one day there.
Beautiful music never to be forgotten
What a wonderful band.
Stella Ercolani Whoever put the visuals together on this one = nice.
Just saw John Lodge and the band he's been playing with for a few years, including his son-in-law, John Davison, of Yes. Played a mixed set of JL's music then performed all of Days of Future Passed. Pretty incredible to hear it in person. July 2023, Coronado Theater, Rockford, IL
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CLASSIFY THESE GUYS, IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN. OTHERWORLDLY. HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM, ALWAYS WILL.
thank God they come from the UK and from Birmingham as well same as Black Sabbath but other end of the music scale lol
otherworldly. definitely
They did it all, As a kid, I didn't even know they were the same band ,playing all these different songs.
There will be no other
@@ericsays8801 there doesnt need to be they need to start putting out more albums
From an era of beauty, hope and elevation of the spirit. And what do we have now?
One of the most UNIQUE and AWESOME group of musicians that has ever been! I've been listening to the Moody Blues for OVER 45 years and I will never get tired of their AMAZING abilities and their amazing creativity. Music has gone far downhill since the days of this kind of music!
aye!
I'm not discounting John Lodge or any of the other Moodys but IMO Justin Hayward is one of our very few living musical geniuses.
Been saying that for decades.
I understand how you feel, and I think the songwriting abilities from what I understand about the group is greater than the sum of its parts. You just know that some accompaniment was tweaked with Pinder, Thomas, and the rest adding flourishes to the basic song as they produced them.
Research how many songs John Lodge wrote. Pretty incredible list.
You could play are you sitting comfortably nonstop and I would never get tired of it.
I think I have a few times before.
Totally agree
My sentiments !! Not a better group anywhere.
Add me to that list, also.
Pity whoever put this together put up some silly lyrics that didn’t even resemble the correct ones!
The best! They can carry me away on their music ability to a far away place and back. I've always been a moody
What a wonderful way to pass on. I'm 52 and they are my favorite band. They describe the way that I feel. A true thinking man's band.
This album is forever embedded in my brain. I was born in 1967, and my parents played this album continuously. I concur with other opinions here in the comment thread, this album is their masterpiece...
in the top ten if not the top five albums ever made. I have this on a half speed master some where. will have to dig it out and record it.
Me to, June 18, 1967, This truly a,,,MASTERPIECE.
Sean Spring-I can totally agree with you!-I was born in 1963, and my mother was a very loyal Moody Blues fan. As a matter of fact, the very first 45 record that I purchased from the local record shop was "The Story in Your Eyes", by the Goodies. I feel quite fortunate also that I got to see the Moody Blues in concert, about 4 times in Los Angeles. As I listen to all of their unbelievably iconic albums today, at age 57, I truly feel like their music takes me to another place-a beautiful and peaceful place, and has a healing affect on me just like it did when I was 8 years old-The Moody Blues were so ahead of their time that their music sounds so right today,timeless and flawless as always!
I was born 1966 and I too grew up with their music. I'm glad I did.
Dont forget about their producer, Tony Clark. He's the guy who put all the music together
Very good point Eric
poor tony..he had a rough life...but didn't we all? LOL
@@mustangmikep51 Right, producers don't get enough credit(even if they put all the pieces together).
I sit here watching this absolutely beautiful video listening to the wonderful music thinking at age 72 that I don't even know what love really is. I guess I used to think I did. I've had 2 marriages and 3 children. No contact with any of them any more. I have some difficult health issues and somehow just keep floating along. Not on drugs-don't drink. I think I float in the universe. Somehow everything is OK-as it "should" be. Does anyone know what I mean? June 15, 2020.
I am almost the same age and also have 3 kids and had 2 marriages. Real love is what you feel for your kids, and being 'in love' is when you cannot stop thinking about someone.
@@kentruthseeker Thank you for taking the time to reply. But my children have chosen to leave me out of their lives. I think if they would talk to me we could change that dynamic. The universe and two different kinds of cancer have brought some other people into my life and I guess I "love" them. There just seems to be so many different kinds of love and we tend to use that word quite a bit.
74 here. Divorced after twenty years. Four children. Still close to my kids. The other parent ran off the rails it seems. Human beings confuse love with infatuation. That's why so many relationships fail. True love is deeper, unshakeable.
@@timjones7547 Thank you for your words and thought. Am glad u are close to your kids. I guess I have never known what you are talking about. There seems to be quite a few people that feel that way. I wish you well and joy. As for me I am "in love" with learning right now. The computer is fairly NEW to me. Imagine that at my age!
Kathleen, something I can’t clearly identify is moving me to respond to your post. I have fleeting moments of clarity and a sense of peace with all that has transpired in my life, things I’ve done and failed to do, along with things that have been done, or have just befallen, me along the journey. Maybe that’s close to what you mean when you say you “float in the universe”.....I don’t profess any special wisdom, or God forbid any “answers”, but these closing words from the movie American Beauty ring true for me.........”And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.”
The first time l heard Threshold of a Dream l thought it just couldn’t get better….but it did, time and time again.
The Moody Blues has always been one of my favorite bands. I have always been drawn to the message they carry, and the music is so beautiful, heart felt. Still my all time favorite band.
Magnificent and life-affirming. Listening to them just makes life more bearable.
Listening to this album in the dark with some incense burning......
When I was in Nam I would lay on the floor in the dark and listen to these songs. It was the only place I could get away from that damn war. During the day I'd be out dealing with dying, and at night I'd let the Moodies take me away. They saved my sanity more than once.
Tom Hutchens thank you for your service
Perfect.........
"We huddled around stereos and listened late into the night" at Gary Macawee's house on Friday night with the lights down low and study this music and discuss what we were witnessing.I wad so moved,I wrote Child of the Sixties, Jack Kelly Dunn
very groovy brother...
In two months if the one and only Elohe of Israel permit me I’ll be 66. And been a fan of moody B. Since their beginning; and have lost so many good friends that is sad to remember those gatherings around a living room smoking and passing the peace pipe for hours on a single day then and as is obvious hurrying to clean up the mess when it was time for our parents to get home. I’m pretty sure that must of us went through this memorable situations. Young generation will never understand this. We never meant to hurt no one. But us in some ways. So long lads. Keep feeling young by listening to this great band.
I listen to all of their songs again and again and again and again and love each one of them
Never comes the day l played over and over again because of the words and my emotions that would take awhile to sort and I knew l getting better when I started singing lazy day and it worked as over singing it I left it alone and about 2 months ago I brought up the Moodies and just sang it as if I had been rehearsing a lot of years had passed, word perfect I think. As others have commented the variation but incredible song's year on year. I feel privileged I saw them live but what an array of songs we have to get lost in.
R i p to the soul of the Moody Blues
Great family man FIRST
Then the very best writer and singer
❤️💜
I'm still a hardcore MetalRockHead for 56 years now, but in my heart of hearts THE Moody Blues (Moodies we always called them!) are STILL the absolute best musicians, singers, and song writers- par excellence!!! I was turned on to them in early 1969 by one Eileen Marlowe, who I truly loved...but lost! To this day EVERY Moody Blues song or album I can sit down and listen to STILL completely mesmerized! Our youth don't know what they're missing by not learning of the Moodies!!! Thank you, Eileen and daughter Wendy!!! I still love the Moodies after all these years!! And after 41 years here in California, I'm finally coming home...between now and April sometime! Lord Bless you both, and thank you, and I STILL miss you immensely!!! God Bless the phenomenal Moody Blues for their lifetimes of phenomenal music!!! KUDOS!!! BOB I. (Iggy)!
favorite band ever 67 year old in Mn USA
What an outstanding trilogy.
Magnificent indeed.... To calm our world maybe.....
Late winter, early spring 1970. College dorm. This LP playing. Paradise.
The soundtrack of my youth.
me too, 63 now, saw them in Toronto several years ago...so good :)
They don't make em like they use too.
The marvelous Moodies.
MARVELOUS is RIGHT!
Fantastic group Neve get tired of listening to their music very uplifting it always seems ahead of the times absolutely brilliant
these are the most talented group ever to exsist. yes. they are the soothing drug they we all need sometimes
God, remember when pop groups had talent? So great!
Excellent 👌☺️ all I got.ever drop a dose and listen to these guys whoa just got to sit masters of all time,
Pure magic!
As always, the perfect mix of melody and arrangement.
A musical prayer for NO War ....
