Must listen to from beginning to end but the album is carried on from Tuesday afternoon until the end, capturing the perfect mood to the climax of what might’ve been a busy , or chaotic but always normal day.
I just want to say their double album I heard almost every day for years and with no Marijuana even the Dream LP and the Lost Chord helped my spirits like when I was a kid Ioved the Redskins and Senators from DC meaning glad to hear you love the Moody Blues too!..
Most rock lyrics are pretty vapid. But The Moody Blues, old New Order, Metallica and Screaming Trees all have deep, meaningful lyrics for most of their songs. Along with the evocative music to carry those lyrics. TMB, though, overall leaves me in the best mood.
Perfection for 45 years , are the pros that mix vidios to symphony to dance to lazarium to a permanent memmary that will never fade an ability that cannot be done?? DO IT TODAY! All top 10/55years need video sync/song,, ALL of them,, not just 2 or 3 mtv 1980"s videos! WE deserve an immersive experience..!
I hitchhiked the country in 79 and 80 and had these lyrics in my pocket. Knew them well and vividly heard the music in my head many many nights under stars.
I sat holding dads hand by his bed, in his last hours , it was a Tuesday afternoon , and this same song came to mind ,with a wonderful new meaning . R.I.P dad xx
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is gray and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion Pinprick holes in a colorless sky Let insipid figures of light pass by The mighty light of ten thousand suns Challenges infinity and is soon gone Nighttime, to some a brief interlude To others the fear of solitude Brave Helios, wake up your steeds Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and settles her son Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion?
I heard this as a little kid cuz my older brothers listened to it...back when they were on vinyl records...in the late 60s early 70s....62 and still enjoy it...50 plus yrs later😁
Dunno, Procol Harum's "Conquistador" live with a Canadian orchestra is a contender. Hell, that live track is better than the studio version. And I know where I'm going after this album is done. ;)
I enjoy playing this music too kids born in the 80's (kids to me) who never heard it before. Those who listen to "RAP" thinking they are musicians. They forgot a "C" when spelling rap I tell them. Now this is MUSIC! And these are "MUSICIANS!"
