@Pieter Vannieker - And why wouldn't you? Their beautiful talents are ageless. The Moody Blues have been the very soul of my music world through the years, and that will never change! I am 74 yrs old and actually appreciate them even more today!
Celestial, prophetic, years ahead of time, yet Music for the ages, Dear Diary, Ride My See Saw... Art work alone n album Titles. I feel God was with them even if they Didn't know, or think so. Timothy Leary... Who writes about Computers Before there were hardly even knew what the word was. Much more to say, maybe another time. John Denver as well, wrote 200 songs n sang 300..R.I.P. Alan S.
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
Me too! They had money for a classical album and the producer made the leap and took the risk of including a rock band for the new classical tunes. It's more like the Moody Blues incorporated the Symphony, than the other way around, though.
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😁
The first time I heard KIWS I said wow who is this band, and what a soft dream like sound they have. That was over 50 years ago, and here I am listening to them like so many times before. Although my fav album was "Seventh Sojourn", they never put out a bad one.
Funny... Seventh Sojourn is my fav as well but I don't think it is with a majority of MB fans. This probably got the second most spins on my table with maybe Question in third. Loved all those core 7 records the most!
I just wished that the studio audio quality had been better. Because that can’t be changed the distortion and eq problems are a genuine part of the music. At least they weren’t using autotune.
@@cascade5682 Autotune! The worst thing to happen to music in centuries. Ugh. But yeah, this was made with mid-60's recording tech. Pretty good, all things considered.
This is an excellent group. Quite different from the standard fare of the 1960s. And here it is, still as popular as ever. The album cover design reminds me of the verse in Genesis (Holy Bible) where the writer records the beginning of creation "and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:2 KJV)
Nights in White Satin played all the time on the radio waves here in Sacramento Ca. 1972. I always loved the album after I heard it at my cool sisters house about the same year.
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 have this album I love it I was 9 when this came out but when I got ordered I got it on CD and I played it tell I war it out. A friend of my got it for me it's the 50th anniversary .
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!..
Un des plus grands monuments du concept album alliant pop rock et mélodie dite "classique" , parue peu de temps après un certain album des beatles battus à plate couture par ce chef d'oeuvre mille fois meilleur . C'est mon avis . NORBERT .
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.
C’est vrai , depuis plus de 40 ans je l’écoute parfois et il me charme toujours autant . Les années 1966 / 67 / 68 ont données des ailes à Beaucoups de groupes ( Stones 66 / 67 , Procol Harum , Kinks , Pink Floyd , Genesis , Beatles , Nice , Beach Boys , Small Faces , Moby Grape , Spooky Tooth , Rare Earth , Deep Purple 68 , Animals , Cat Stevens 67 , Fairport Convention 68 / 69 , Spirit
@@michelbernardo6087 bonjour entièrement d’accord avec toi Pour revenir à cet album Je possède également le dvd du spectacle refait en 2017 C est toujours aussi beau meme si ils on vieillies
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!"
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..!
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. ;)
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.
No doubt to me that all of the inherent mystical influences such as sorcerers, Wicca and of course the fairy folk had a hand in the manifestation of this blessed group. No wonder why they chose Graeme to be the sorting hat in the Harry Potter movie. Far out.
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?
