for 45 years they have been making and playing great music, I can't help to think of what the music world would have been like without their inspiration.
This track still makes the hairs on my neck stand up. What a musical genius Mr. Hayward is. There must be lots of hidden gems like this that never got released.
I love this song...when my mum was dying in a hospital this year a butterfly landed by me outside on the terrace...at he eulogy I mentioned the butterfly...that's what this song reminds me of my life in transition...and mum's life...
What I don't understand is how all these extra tracks (King and Queen, The Dreamer, What Am I doing Here) don't end up on the next album... Island is another fantastic out-take from the aborted post-Seventh Sojourn album.
Wow!! This song is just so amazing!! This upload is a true gem !! I am so in love with this song!! The Moodies are a truly phenomenal band of all time!! Their music has touched my soul so deeply and impacted my life on so many levels!! Their music is so wonderful, so full of real emotion and feeling!! Pure perfection and brilliance!! I LOVE THIS BAND!!! The Moodies forever my friends!! ♥♥
My mind is back behind my eyes. With lyrics like this, it's not wonder they had to come out with "I'm Just a SInger". Everybody has their own idea about what the hell they were singing about. but they still get everybody's minds moving. Prophets? Poets? Philosophers? Cosmic? Yup. Cheers to all their other fans.
@Solvinden You're welcome :) The '+5' songs were actually outtakes from the TOCCC album. Why they were left off is a mystery...stupid record company decision probably!
@planetjanet2 PJl, I think it has to do with some of the copyright matters w Mike,, but, if you have noticed their sets are getting shorter on tour, There are some old songs on , and the screen up in back features songs like You and Me (their best IMHO) but they need to please the fans and save their energy and playing-singing voices.
Let's be glad for the ongoing revelations.

PS..this is ONE romantic song...but PJ, you knew that, didn't ya !
@telsport I am seeing them the end of June, finally, after almost 30 yrs! I saw a recent setlist, and there aren't any real surprises. Anyway, I'll be happy just to hear the wonderful 'standards' after so long :)
@MoodyGirl67 (Having trouble with posting replies, in case you get this several times!) I didn't get that impression at all--I really appreciate the info! I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I have a Moody Blues playlist on my 'main' channel, bze2nlz1, you may want to check out. Thanks, and have a great weekend!
The opening makes me think of what could happen when you die. Going to sleep in this life and then waking up on the other side, with a million images going through your mind of that life you just came from.
@MoodyGirl67 Thank you for your nice comments!! I don't have 'Prelude,' and I didn't realize these songs were on there, too. I will add this to the descriptions :)
@MoodyJill Thank you for the nice comments! I love the Moodies--I have a playlist of some of my favorites (there are SO many!) on my other channel, bze2nlz1.

I know what TOCCC is but what is ITSOTLC?
This song is as haunting as 'what am i doing here'

@elinorvonzahm I believe Solvinden is referring to In Search of the Lost Cord (ISOTLC). And I agree; these '+5' songs are amazing.
