Justin Hayward - "The Story In Your Eyes" (Live) 

Love the song, love the Moody Blues, love Justin Hayward as he used to be. We saw him in concert in the early 2000s and his vocals then were indeed timeless, but let's be realistic -- since then his vocals have degraded. Many times he splits words that shouldn't be split: At 1:53, "Listen to the ta-ide slowing turning, wash all our ha-art aches away, we're pa-art of the fire." At 2:20, "the life that we are living is in vain" is not smooth at all, it's out of rhythm. This is not how he ever sang this song before. Bless his heart for the effort, but he's too old for this and it's exaggerating to call his 2020 vocals timeless. The same thing happened with Gordon Lightfoot when we saw him in concert a few years ago -- his voice was weak, it cracked and he just couldn't reach the notes he used to. Some of these guys need to retire and leave our memories of the great old days intact.

@@doctorrobert60 I understand your feeling and I truly hated to disagree with you about it. These aging artists have so much talent and I fear it will never be repeated. At some point, though, they need to recognize that it's time to retire. Let us remember them through their original recordings and videos, the way we grew up with them.

No matter his age, Justin Hayward's voice is beautiful.

@@doctorrobert60 show respect. He is still out there and this tour could be his last. Still writing.

And in heels no less...ouch!

Karmen adds a lot!

@@tammy5926 Don’t you secretly wish it was him?❤️

I agree. Saw them twice.

Only one of the greatest ?

Yeah...saw them in Nottingham in, I think, 1983. Mike was no longer in the band, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

They still are.

!

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Well put.

What a flautist

@@tammy5926 Thanks for mentioning that. First I got excited, then thought "no, I don't think so. "

"As music goes, it cannot get better than this." Yes it can and it already did: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E07uYLMcSoc.html You're welcome.

If people really understood the moody's and the hundreds of songs that never made the radio, they would realize there 1000 songs were as good as the hits. Just have to listen. Best band ever. Sorry Beatles.

Me too. Getting very nostalgic

Their first televised song.....I think, WAS ON US TV ON "Shindig": 1965 "Go Now"....Boggles my mind...I was 9....frgot it and recently heard it gain and thouught it was a group like the "Shirelles" or "Martha Reeve and the Vandellas"!!!! PS AND ALSO....."DAYS OF THE FUTURE PAST"..I REMEMBER HEARING THAT IN C 1967 OR 68 IN BIRMINGHAM, ALA. ON (I THINK) WERC RADIO........IT WAS "THE FATHER TREE EXPERIENCE" AND PLAYED "HEAD ROCK" OR SO IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE EVERY AFTERNOON ABOUT 1 OR 2 PM......I WAS ABOUT 12 SO I WAS AT SCHOOL AND WOULDN'T HAVE HEARD IT BUT FOR ONE RARE SNOW DAY.......PLUS YOU HAD TO HAVE FM AND MOST KIDS RADIOS WERE AM OR WITH LITTLE KNOWN FM CAPABILITY THAT BEING MUZAK OR CLASSICAL-TYPE MUSIC...OR SINATRA, JERRY VALE AND ANDY WILLIAMS...OK BUT NOT TYPICAL KIDS FARE....JUST MY MAMA AND DADDY'S NIGHTIME SLEEPING MUSIC IN THE ADJACENT BEDROOM... BUT...I HAVE THE OLD LP (VINYL... FOR THOSE "FORMATTILY" ( IS THAT A REAL WORD) CHALLENGED")..IT IS COPYRIGHTED 1967.....BUT THIS SONG I NEVER HEARD AGAIN AFTER 67-68 UNTIL 1972 WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN THE USA......I WAS 16 RUNNING AROUND IN CARS SO I REMEMBER VERY ACCURATELY...GO FIGURE...IT MET A RESURGENCE CIRCA 1989 OR SO.... THE MOST UNDER-LISTEED TO AND UNDER APRECIATED BAND IN HISTORY....ROCK ON JUSTIN...WE JUST LOST JUDITH FROM THE NEW SEEKERS A COUPL'A WEEKS AGO...VAYA CON DIOS JUDITH...

So did I. But then again, I've seen him every time he and band comes to Annapolis.

@@rhondareed3002 I think Justin will make it another time. He loves performing more than anything. When being interviewed when he had been married 50 years, he stated that he really only was married 8 years, because he was gone all the time on tour. He even played on his birthday this past time he was here. When he first came out on stage, I was shocked at how frail he looked. But his voice was strong. I would rather he not tour and take it easy than having him get stressed out and pass. Oh how empty life would be without Justin. I hope the little woman takes good care of him. I just got done listening to the Moodies' music via Amazon Music on my Samsung phone with earphones on for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Nothing like listening to their music with earphones. You get to hear all the little tunes that are played in the song, as well as in stereo. One minutes Justin is singing in one ear and then the other and then at top of head. I use to listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young that way in the late 60s. Their Wooden Ships song was great listening to with earphones because Stills would sing something in one ear and Nash would answer back in the other ear, and then all would sing. Great harmonizing band.

@@tammy5926 wow thanks for the heads up.

I do not see him as an "old Pro." I see him as Justin Hayward, the singer, songwriter of the Moody Blues. Not only are his songs timeless, Justin is timeless.

@@ladyhecate9450 You misread the quotation marks. Perhaps I should have just said " veteran" .I should have known a non musician would not under stand what I wrote.
