You're Absolutely RIGHT... The Music encompasses SO MANY ELEMENTS, with INSIGHTFUL POETRY supported by Moving Melodies that Transcend Time... SPECTACULAR!
ABSOLUTELY. Loved them FRIM the moment I heard this song as a pre-teen. Lots of older brothers lol. Saw them at Red Ricks with Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Once in a lifetime….. 💫 🌟 ⭐️
In the mid 70’s the rock stations in Philly didn’t play this song …my father had the album and a pretty nice stereo ..as the family slept and I was pretty stoned with headphones on I heard this song for the first time about 14 years old then ..blown away …now 62 still listen to the Moody Blues
The early Moody Blues albums were musical EXPERIENCES, even if you didn't smoke the stuff. The music was just beyond anything anyone else had ever done....and no one has done it since.
I would have given anything (nearly) to have seen them. Guess I'll just have to be content with seeing Led Zeppelin live in Brussels, Belgium. It was my 25th birthday present from my wife! Still together and going strong after 48 years. And yes, music is a big part of that. 🥰
Always loved them. A boyfriend brought his reel to reel player with all their music on it. We chewed psilocybin mushrooms, then went to bed listening to them on reel to reel. Beyond beautiful. Im 70 now and always love to hear them.
The first time I ever tripped on mescaline my friend slipped this album, which I had never before heard, on the stereo as we were just really starting to fly...It is epic, and indelibly etched in my mind and heart.
Moody Blues are 1 of a kind.. such deep experiences with the music and words and incredibly harmonies, how they pulled it all together again and again...walk along with me to the next bend!!
Yes, I still believe we can change the world, but the opportunity is slipping away. LSD was a very useful tool. But the movement was hijacked with STP. That's what messed up Syd Barret. Military intelligence, social engineering. Same shit, different day... I'm 42 now and have responsibly tried many illegal drugs. I am a musician and rate The Moody Blues as a very sincere effort of expression and exploration. Progressive rock pioneers really. I wish I had been born in the '50s. They really did squash the vibe. They murdered Jimi Hendrix, amongst others. I'm convinced after 6 years of research, that Paul McCartney was bumped off. Social engineering. Look at this now. Dirty bastards.
Hi Jeff, one of my all time favourite lyrics.... Lovely to see you again my friend,..... Etc. Esp as we age and the lovely friends of yore fall by the wayside. Me, I'm going for at least 107...2060. Gotta stick arnd to see what happens, ne?
I almost wanna cry when I hear this song. It's soooo beautiful. How wonderful a gift the Moody Blues give us. How wonderful the gift of music. Please knock on my door.
Man-o-man did you boomers get it right!!! As a member of Gen X, you guys made the best and most meaningful music. RESPECT!!! I'm glad I had a really cool set of parents that played music like this that enriched and guided me. I can think of only a handful of groups like the moodies that can take you on a trip with or without psychedelics. I have PTSD and these guys have saved me from destruction many times. Peace and love to you all ✌️✌️
This gorgeous and profound song is best listened with closed eyes. Pics of romantic scenes have nothing to do with it. That's why radios were so great for music. Your own imagination complemented words.🎉
gregarious red right!! I loved this so much on road trips as a child , then got too cool for the blues so to say ...come back in my 30s and it's just wow this might explain a few things 😂
Exactly. Raided my parents albums and just gravitated towards them. Fantastic band who I revisit often. Each album is a listening experience from the 1st track to the last
To he!! with the Rock and Roll Hall of Money-grabbing Shame. They have zero authority over music beyond what fans give them. People need to stop giving them credence.
They were inducted in August of 2018. What that means is that the R&R Hall of Fame is not a legitimate judge of who had greatness, and who did not. They are a business, not a serious museum.
One of the best intros to a song ever! Even the Beatles don't have something this cool & the Fab Four is my all-time favorite group. I have loved the the Moody Blues since I first heard them back in the early 70's!
The best band of all time!!!! What a show they put on with their excellent music.... Justin's voice is so soft and lovely.. He is a poet and a great artist!!! They are all exqusite and eccentric!!! They have such fashion sence!! They are always decked out.... They must have been on some heavy LSD in their early years.. Justin doesn't remember.... Thanks for giving us the greatest music of all time!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙🎶🎶.....

My experience with Rap in my neighborhood is when vehicles go down the street with the Bass so loud they shake my living room windows. I just can not understand the attraction. Joan Jett made it in because of these classic lyrics (sarcasm) "I love rock n' roll So put another dime in the jukebox, baby I love rock n' roll So come an' take your time an' dance with me
The greatest mix of Rock, blues, classical and jazz there every was and will ever be. I've been a fan since the early 60's. I had every album but they are out there somewhere but I know the are in my heart and in my guitar because I learned so many of them by ear and then when I learned to read tabs and music better on paper. You guys are the greatest all around Rock band that has ever been and will ever be. May God's blessings be on you and may your wonderful music forever be in our hears and minds. To my Children's, Children's Children's Children. Got 3 grown children who love your music and 5 grand children and one on the way who I know will also love your music. Your friend and forever copier of your music, Bob Presnell.
I agree. This group in my heart is the greatest band that ever walked and sang on the face of the earth! I listened to them when I was a kid..... they are so inspirational for loving life and having spirit.
Having discovered this group in the 60s, to this day i can not stop talking up their work. Aside from their musicianship and songwriting impressing me beyond words, I believe their spiritual and philosophical insights on simple life and love have affected more people more deeply, then they may ever come to know. For a civilization whose future is not guaranteed, they likely have helped it survive to see 2020, and beyond.
You are so right. The younger me got hooked on the melody and arrangement. But now, much older (and wiser) I'm captured by the ideas and concepts that were prescient indeed. Thanks for the insight.
On the threshold 2020 in a world of AI, artificial news and digital dialogue we know their words were Prophecy! So Good to know there are still REAL people out there listening... It's Lovely to See You My Friends
Yes, a nice sorta appreciation but with no depth. One must have spiritual practices to reach the higher states of consciousness where the Moody's came from. Then it's timeless, universal, transcendental.
A girl in high school lent me an album she wanted me to hear. When I rolled the vinyl out it wasn't the record that belonged to the cover, but, " On a Threshold of a Dream." Changed the way I listened to music. Don't even remember what the album was she wanted me to listen to.
When I hear this song it's like meeting The Moody blues again for the first time I always think of this song when certain people I met in life come back in in some form or another.
David Ray once pinder was replaced because of issues with edge, they were never the same , because of the mellotron sound . Still love them. The Beatles are # 1 but the moody are 1A.
i lived in Germany in the late 60s & early 70s and bought every album the day it was released. I still have them. Someone was described the as "the smallest symphony orchestra". Genius
Mine & my dad's mantra: 'face piles of trials with smiles It riles them to believe you perceive the web they weave Keep on thinking free' RIP RJ....not like you're resting or anything ;) Be lovely to see you again, my friend....
At the time, these were some of the most well produced records. If you had a good "system", not what we have today, and good head phones, the music was unbelievable.
the moody blues are my all time favorite band.They were rock and roll,but they were different.Great music for driving in the middle of the night on a long road trip.
@@anniewaesche5025 Me too. I finally replaced my damaged Days of Future Passed CD. Under good headphones, this is an astoundingly engineered and produced album.
+tp10488 Fuck the RRHOF...They suck anyway...Plus it's in Cleveland! Pfft! The Moodies are respected and loved for decades...They have received accolades beyond most other groups!
This video came out a little more than a month before I was born, and I remember when I was 4 to 6 years old (I don’t remember the exact age) I was scared, but also intrigued, by this song
When I proposed to my beloved many years ago I asked her to walk with me to the next bend. I told her it might take many years, and I want you with me until the end of time. 30+yrs later she passed away in my arms. There is not a day that I don't miss my beloved Barb.
Nice videos with those...Lovely To See You.. got to be in my top 10 all time favorites... and with In The Beginning as a prelude... just fabulous... again nice videos!
My Dad played this for me when I was very little and I remember every word. This was the precursor for my love of Tool and so much music that weaves in a philosophy of life and offers teaching and growth in addition to being so fun to listen to. I owe everyone involved a debt I could never repay.
14 years old, sitting on my brothers couch, smoked up with giant Pioneer headphones o,n spacin out to the Moody Blues. I knew every word from In The Beginning.
I was in this huge house in Costa Rica when I heard that what you described and I was tripping out to The Moody Blues up in the mountains overlooking the capital of Costa Rica San Jose thank you for your comment
Your work never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for keeping the beauty of TRUE talent and ability alive in our hearts, minds, and souls. There has NEVER been a band like them nor will there ever be. The Moody Blues stand miles above even what the music industry hails as being "the best" -- The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, and whomever else you'd care to add to that list.
I remember listening to this song and other great MB songs while tripping out. They were imprinted on my brain at that time and have been a big fan ever since. The lyrics had real meaning, and the sound was magnifico!
Please don't ask which is my favorite Moody Blues album...I can't answer. Each one is unique and touches you differently. The lyrics are both powerful and sublime. The music captures your emotions and senses...addictive in a very positive way. This is music for the ages...as it always has been.
For some unexplained reason, In the Beginning plays in my head lately, off and on. I guess it's all the talk about Ai, but I go back, 50 years on now, thinking about these lyrics.
One of my all time faves of all of the Moodies tracks in was singing it at the gym the other day ,a young kid heard me singing and asked me what I was singing timeless music from a timeless time keep the faith the Moodies still hold up after all of these long,hard toiled years....there's hardly anything or anyone that's got that kind of longevity legacy
Nicely done video! Suddenly I'm 17 again seeing the Moodies in an arena of 14,000, all of us higher than a kite. They opened with this and holy God they just took your head right off your shoulders. I know they got all symphonic PBS and such but I promise you on the first five or six US tours they rocked, they took the roof off. Maybe someday Justin will get credit for his AMAZING guitar work... and Mike Pinder for that very first mastery of the Mellotron...
I always considered the Moody Blues the Princes of Acid Rock, take you on a trip and bring you back with a smile on your face. Always had a good trip with them back in the day.
The Thrilling and Chilling Moody Blues....1969-70 A great blast from back in the day, San Francisco & Goldengate Park...speedway meadows...and my friend and beautiful days I believed would never end....Beautiful Man!
I was walking past a cafe in the city where I lived remembering the times I used to go there for lunch with a friend when we were apprentice typewriter mechanics, I hadn't seen him for many years and was wondering what had happened to him, I turned a corner into another street and there he was walking towards me, this song always reminds me of that day.
Discovered the Moody Blues in a used record store while at college in the late 70s. Their initial popularity had waned by then. Lucky for me as I was able travel through their discography of powerfully melodic and profound lyrics on a budget. Their work still inspires introspection about the many questions our existence presents. I may not have found all the answers, but I have the wisdom of this band as a guide. There you go man. Keep as cool as you can. Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave and keep on thinking free
Lovely to see you again my friend...Walk along with me to the next bend. This lyric grabbed me when it was written and stayed with me through today, for really, what else do we actually have?
