Moody Blues ~ Ride My See-Saw

[mickeymousebiker1]

To all of those who wish to travel Space/Time -- to all of those who wish to set sail across the seas -- to all of the Captain Americas out there -- this tune is for you. Adventure, freedom, and imagination -- that's what this song is all about.

[mickeymousebiker1]

When I listen to this song, I'm reminded of Easy Rider (the riding scene after they pick up the hitch-hiker). It's all about real freedom! I love that Spanish guitar solo in this tune -- great music for watching the riding scenes in Easy Rider -- gypsies aboard choppers! This tune signifies the greatness of the music of the 1960s.

John Lodge, I love you!

[Burt472]

One of the most beautiful songs ever created.

[karlmoles65]

Besides Nights in White Satin this has always been the Moodies best song to me.

[zoeruls]

[kauaiphil]

I got a Philosophy degree 40 years ago. I've seen a Tahitian sunrise. I've choked on the smog of Mexico City. I've lived in Sausalito in the 70's and the Virgin Islands in the 80's. Done my time in Texas. Came to Kauai the first time in 1971. Back here again for 9 years. Trying to write a book and fly my RC airplanes. Aloha.

[DanielJoseDiego]

@CreepyCrawlyCat Yes sir, well said.

[moneyusper]

For me, it would be like pulling hairs from a Siberian Tiger, in that it would be impossible, to pick one song as my favorite. No matter which song I listen to, its always the best. Long live the Moodies, and their fans..

[pollysbuddy]

Superior pics to the video

[2631carol]

[salbird2006]

Happy thursday! ;)

[pdelcolle]

Nice imagery. Creative use of stills. Great song, which I remember well from my college days. Thanks for posting.

[jess16saint]

dude!!!! ahha this song is awesome

[nortonaavs]

Why are they NOT in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame???!!!!!!!

[DanielJoseDiego]

@nortonaavs Fuck what the RRHOF has to say, as long as WE know they're legends, that's what counts, many a bands have been excluded that clearly deserve a spot.

[luv2aptnz]

@nortonaavs Good question!

[zoeruls]

@nortonaavs yes, that is a great question... they deserve it completely.

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

@nortonaavs yeah totally agree same with ELO what the hell.

[gjohnsoningary]

@nortonaavs WHAT?!!!!! That's a crime!!! I made the assumption that they were!

[mickeymousebiker1]

@nortonaavs Their music is too noble -- too resplendent -- to be in the Rock Hall. I'm from Cleveland, and I used to ask the same question.

[unclegroovedaddy]

Does that 335 sound great, or what ?

[xsnut1]

luv this song good vid...

[rickw1100]

The Blues baby!! Oh, yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jenRWfan]

Wow Great vid ...!

[crlguitar]

This song is awesome...I remember my best friend's brother playing this for me in 1968 and I was blown away by the intro of 'Departure' into the main song....I was a fan of the Moody Blues ever since! Scorching lead instrumental!

[TheMartens31]

Hoi Ron,

Wat een prachtige clip, je muziek is ook top.

Groetjes van Cor.

[wolfstyle68]

A member of the guard! Says Alice!

[pbrucpaul]

I heard this whole number in a Planeterium light show. It felt like you were speeding upward through space. These guys definitely had their own sound!

[jorocarangel49]

La excelencia personificada en cuatro grandes maestros de la mùsica contemporànea.

Everything you put up, everything you put together is beautiful art... I am a real fan. You really know how to bring it all together in a way that touches heart, soul, mind, spirit. Thank you. I love the one..Nina Storey song and the video that calls us to save our world...beautiful. Brilliant.

"My world is spinning around,

Everything is lost that I found.

People run, come ride with me,

Let's find another

place that's free. "

Wuhuuu!!!

[eldudareno]

u r blessed

[triangular123]

Wonderful imagery!

[dieselheart001]

Thank you for sharing this video, and the Moody

Blues "Seesaw". No matter how hard times and life seem to be, there is always the greater measure within us to rise above the obstacles that beset us so easily...

"The human adventure is just beginning"

[mordanai]

This song makes me want to get up, face the sun, thrust my fist in the air and say 'YAY LIFE!' So inspirational.

[WhoBeShooBe]

Thank you for this beautiful video. I find it really comforting to watch this - the song reminds me of a loved one who passed on recently. Thanks!

[hecate55]

My name is Carol and my husband and Paul say thank you from Lower Nicola, British Columbia, Canada - we loved watching your beautiful photo montage for Ride My See Saw. Would love to see more.

Bright Blessing!

[adorianvlad]

Oh, man, its been a very long time since I've been watching a music video that I've enjoyed as much as I do this one!

[ekutatakewt]

DANG ! I miss the 70's .... some red dragons and colombian gold .... mmm , mmm mmm ! BLASTOFF !!! YAHOOOOOWEEEEEEE !!!!!!

[philipsmovies]

Beautiful images,love the song.Thank you.

[stapav1]

FINE JOB!!!!!

[usm7j]

Great visuals! Forty years later and their music is still as vibrant as when it first came out. Moody Blues helped my keep my sanity during that sucked in mess we called "The Nam."

[ChrisK42]

Strength of an Arquebus?

You mean "strength of an oak with roots"!

[ChrisK42]

If you listen carefully at the end of Departure, when he's laughing hysterically, you can actually hear the last line being finished, which is "To find The Lost Chord".

This makes sense since that makes the line rhyme with "To that all these things in our memories hoard".

[dikroxem]

Your videos and choice of music are FANTASTIC!

Keep it up Coloradream! The Moody Blues have been my favorite group of all my time, since 1970!

[pootski123]

Thank You, Coloradream, for sharing the beauty.

[Lavendercent]

Beautiful artistic imagery combined with a classic Moody Blues song! Best of luck in any of your future endeavors/videos. Talent PLUS!

[lickss]
