I actually just got into The Moody Blues. I only knew their songs Nights in White Satin and Question. But after hearing this and Isn't Life Strange, I've developed such a huge respect for them. They are so original and unique and beautiful in their sound. Such an incredible band.
and adam and I , was about his son. who was in 911 , though it was written back in 1975 and sad loss indeed. ray other than pinder is who made the moodys the moodys. just listen to from the mighty oaks album.
it has a full orchestra. just like days of future passed.
Lyrically profound. How many people spend their entire lives in meaningless outward pursuits, when they should be searching within themselves for meaning and purpose?
@mrsolofeo True you are. MB music does make you think about "stuff" in your head. LOL! I just think their music is beautiful with my kind of rythyms. Very easy to listen to and even if you're not the spiritual type (and there's nothing wrong with that!) the Moody's should appeal to a lot of music fans. I know most young people today will think this is just terrible music and you're not going to change their minds if they've been listening to JZ and other etc. hip hop bands.

Oh how I have always loved this song!! This song takes me back to a much happier time in my life, full of true happiness and innocence! The Moodies are truly a phenomenal band of all time!! Their music is just so beautiful!! This is one of their fun songs indeed. I remember being a kid and just loving this song!! The Moodies have touched so many souls through the years with their truly brilliant music!! A true gem to the music world.Pure Magic!! The Moodies forever my friends!! :)) ♥
I bought this album in 1972. I bought another, and another...the whole set (had to wait for Seventh Sojourn). They wore out, so I bought 'em again. Bought some 8-tracks for the car, then some cassettes and eventually CD's and DVD's. Best money I have ever spent-they bring me peace.
God bless Ray Thomas. His contributions prevent the Moody Blues to slide into a Justin Hayward Band. On the other side it saved him probably from a life in cabaret circuits. I wish he had learn at least some acoustic guitar to strum along and gave him a more important role in later years.
Great clip ; who would have thought all those years ISOTLC was one of my very fav albums that i could be watching these clips all these years later ! They were there all the time though i guess somewhere.Pity about the 'dirty lense' effect for some of it ; not as 'Groovy' as intended !
If you go back and review the contributions by Ray and Mike to the MB, you realize they were substantial. I have never read so many genuine appreciative / positive remarks about a band and the posters here. I don't know who was responsible for the Edge/Pinder split, but both rather selfish and stubborn IMHO for not burying the hatchet over such a trivial remark..if that was indeed the true cause. So Mike, Ray, Graeme how about it? Just a studio album ? No need to go on the road. Music, Life!
mmgdavis: What I meant was that after the 'Core 7" & "octave," the style, after pinder retired was so completely different as opposed to when he was writing, singing, & playin the "Mellotron." Patrick Moraz played strictly keyboards at his style, but nothing like pinder did. Moraz never sang or wrote. "Go Now" & 67-73 were when the MB's were at their finest. Hall of fame material. I define anything after 7th sojourn, good but not great. Pinder is credited with being the true founder of the band.
Yes bellybutton, Ray wrote it & sang it. He sang every tune he composed. The video left out the line "There are polarbears & seals, there are giant antartic eels." The video was shortened.
Sorry, my mistake on the explanation of a left out verse. I printed out the lyrics, & it appears that on the 3rd chorus, Ray repeated the line, "I've seen butterflies galore, I've seen people big & small." He instead should have sung, "I've seen polar bears & seals & giant antarctic eels." He goofed up, I guess. That's OK! We still love Ray! Hope he gets better with his health.
He's obviously not lip syncing. He screwed up a verse. They're miming their instruments, no questions, but unless they purposefully recorded incorrect vocals for this show, he's singing live. Which, I understand, was a popular format at the time, prerecorded instruments with live singing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ray GAY 4 sure - him and that other guy with the m'stachio look like French racecar drivers - not rock guys - and whats wit that gay ascot around his neck ?
Usually, whoever wrote the song was the singer for it. Since Ray wrote this song he performed it, just as NIWS was writtent by Hayward so he sings it. By the way, no one in the band sounds bad at all but I think Ray sounds the best.
I think that the MB is not inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is because they "snubbed" the recording studios during their early career. They willed to live their art not enfringed upon by studio "politics" and social engineering. Their bold adventure is why we have such an awesome musical legacy in our lives. *Goodwill*
Just wondering how many other folks were hip to a very solid lip-synch/play-acting performance. 5 stars for the rhythmic accuracy of the visual performance, though. Of course, it takes nothing away from the Mighty Moodies' greatness!
If the MB's are so great,(& they are)then why would they have to fake it? Great vocals, harmony, instrumentation. The worlds smallest symphony orchestra, by far. Exit D.laine & C. Warwick.....The rest is HISTORY!!
I love you forever, this song is so hard to find on the internet. Of course I forgot to check YouTube for it until now, but that does not diminish my love for your providing this. Thank you very much!
This is such a great little gem. As far as I know it has never been played on the radio. But for the first seven albums put out by the Moody Blues every song is amazing. They are one of my favorite groups of all time. Peace
This song is brilliant. When I was in college I played the album In Search Of The Lost Chord till the grooves wore out. The Moody Blues are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They still perform and they still sound great. If you can you should go see them in concert. You will be amazed. Peace.
Ray did not lose his creativity. The band worked best as just that--a band. Ray's flute playing is some of the best crossover from classical to rock in pop history. All the Moody's possess unbelievable musicianship and gave the Beatles a good run for the money.
I agree Ray had a great voice and did write some great songs, but there would be no Moody Blues without Justin. The songs that he did were the classics, he may have had the best singing voice ever.
Ray wrote some great songs and had the best singing voice. Somewhere along the way he lost his creativity. Legend of a Mind, My Gentle Lady, And The Ride Rushes In...wow.
I think I'll go trick-or-treating as "Nurse Livingstone" LOL!! Or maybe that Vampire idea I told ya about. Looks like I need to loosen up Rays collar there! I vant to biiiiite his neeeeeeck!!!! ROFL!!!
Hi Terrs, Well, Well... The good doctor has missed us all! Wait a minute Terr, "What's that Dr. Livingstone?" You say we've been naughty and you want to "what??!!" STICK US WITH A BIG NEEDLE IN OUR #SS!! Noooooooo, Terr, come on, let's make a run for it old girl... (to be continued...)
I believe this is the happiest rock song I've ever heard! Where's Berr been hiding? The dr.s going to find her! There's no escaping the good Dr. L!!!!! LOLLOL
One of the best things about the Moody Blues is their in depth historical knowledge. Very educated guys. Map lovers, British history lovers, all lovers --- everyone loves the Moody Blues!
I fear the same! Have mercy, redbaron! After all, we ladies cann't be held responsible for our own actions when it comes to the MB's. It is the MB's fault we act this way! lol!!!! And with that said, I think I will go to bed now and dream of my lovely Ray, if I sit here one more minute, I will crach head-first into the keyboard! LOL!!!! Nite all!!!! :) zzzzzz
Hey, the three of us were on a roll! I'm worried about Terr. Storm sirens? You sound like you're in Kansas Terr. I predict you'll wake up before long saying, "There's no place like home" with Ray bending over you caressing your hair...
Berr, I have great news!!! It wasn't Graeme driving the cab after all, a case of mistaken identity. I'm not sure who it was that your doggy ate... Hey, at least the tour can continue now! LOL
Yikes! Give that doggie some ipecac syrup and induce vomiting immediately! Graeme has been recalled and can no longer be used as pet food!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!
Girls, I think someone ought to contact Justin, John, and Ray 'cause we three ladies need a little comforting tonight after all this hooplaha! HA! HA! HA!
Yeah, what's up with them? they should make an exception to the excessive comments and the 500 character limit for US ladies!!! We should be able to speak often and freely!! lol!
Alright, you beat me over Berr! I hit traffic on the way... I have this cab in front of me, some guy driving with a beard... Wait just a minute, I don't believe this!!! It's Graeme!!!!!!
Caressing??? Oh, my but that Ray has a way with words! OH BOY!!! Well, if he needs to "brush up" on his caressing lessons, the TEACHER IS IN!!!!! ROFLMBO!!!
Terr and Berr, You gotta help me out here. I don't always get these abbreviations. I know ROFL is "rolling on floor laughing", but the MBO? Does that mean "my bathrobe off"???
Tap happy!!! BAAHHH HAAA HAAA!!! Ray came up with a good one there!! Oh, that Ray. Such a sweet and funny guy!! You know, I bet he would be an absolute blast to have over for an evening tea!! He would probably keep me in stitches the whole time! Such a witty, smart, fun guy!!! Oh, I could stir his tea with my finger to sweeten it up!! LOLOLOL!!!!!
Yeah Berr, that's right. See Terr, nothing to worry about... Dr. Feelgood, I mean Mr. Thomas, we hardly paid him no mind at all, although...he seemed to be paying Berr an awful lot of mind... Wait a minute, no one else can read what I'm writing here, right???
Berr, Saw you in "New Horizons" no vocal track. Love this version and without the vocals you can hear the beauty of the melody so clearly. This has always been a favorite song of mine...
Hi Berr, I sent you a post, but I think I hit discard by mistake. Must be from the wine. Speaking of wine, It was Graeme who gave it to me while I was riding in the back of his cab. I see he's back to his old tricks again!!! HA!
I have a splitting headache from 2 glasses of wine so I'm signing right off. I'll try and have the prison guard slip a note to you both tomorrow... Geepers, we sure get into a lot of trouble when we're together. We're like the three musketeers! LOL......
Well, I am very glad that you all landed safely after Graeme buzzed my workplace in the Lear Jet!! It's a wonder RB didn't have heart failure!! LOL!!! I hope RB saved me a piece of cake!!!! He can feed it to me in little tiny bites, and hold my tea for me to sip, since I'm so tired!! hee hee~!!!!! Really, Edgie needs to leave the flying to somebody else!! He's just miffed because we can't find him a girlfriend!!
Hi Terr, Berr and I were REAL GOOD GIRLS! Right Berr, we just went to a little old birthday party for John. It was totally harmless. We did nothing but eat cake with lots of kissing oops!, I meant to say icing that is...
Ohhh, tell Ray that when I get rested up, he is in the most wonderful "trouble" he has ever been in!! LOL!! I hope you ladies took it easy on poor Ray, after all, he is pushing the 70 mark, and has some health troubles!! Hope he has something left for me! ROFLMBO!!!! Too bad I couldn;t have been there to lick the birthday cake off of Ray's precious face!! LOL!! XD!!!
Yeah, if kissing and hugging these guys is against the law, then we'd definitely be commiting crimes (of passion, hee, hee!!!) Oh Officer, arrest us... LOL
Oh yes!! We are "Guilty As Charged" LOL!! But our guys would bail us out!! They would miss us so badly, we wouldn't even spend a whole night in the slammer!!
Ohhh, I just had a thought!! Ray, Lodgie, and Justy in full cop uniforms, HANDCUFFS and all!!! Saying to us 3 ladies, "You are all under arrest!! We're gonna have to haul you all in and book you!!" Ohhh, yeah!!!
How come I can only hear this in the right channel?

Giggling here too! I love the way Ray is bouncing and bobbing up and down to the beat! He looks so chipper and happy!
terrijane61 4 years ago
I believe this is the happiest rock song I've ever heard! Where's Berr been hiding? The dr.s going to find her! There's no escaping the good Dr. L!!!!! LOLLOL

One of the best things about the Moody Blues is their in depth historical knowledge. Very educated guys. Map lovers, British history lovers, all lovers --- everyone loves the Moody Blues!

Kinda surprising to see Ray's voice the only voice that isn't pre-recorded. Did he have anything which hampered him from lip-syncing?

Berr,

And with that said, I think I will go to bed now and dream of my lovely Ray, if I sit here one more minute, I will crach head-first into the keyboard! LOL!!!! Nite all!!!! :) zzzzzz

Berr,
I'm back! Geesh! I haven't seen lightning like that in a very long time!! And very windy!!! Now the sky is a weird pinkish yellowish lookin'! EEEW!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr, Seriously, I hope everything's okay. Hi Berr, I was in rare NH having a few words with Mr. B. Stepping out for the evening...
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
All is well! What a storm! Massive lightning and wind!! Now we have a funky yellow/pink sky. I think the worst is over. @.@
terrijane61 4 years ago
Hey, the three of us were on a roll! I'm worried about Terr. Storm sirens? You sound like you're in Kansas Terr. I predict you'll wake up before long saying, "There's no place like home" with Ray bending over you caressing your hair...
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Ahhh, yes! What a way to wake up!! I would immediately attack!!! lol!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
OMG! Berr found the missing smelling salts!!!
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle, berr,
the storm sirens are going off. Guess I'd better hit the deck! I'll be back later. (hopefully)!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
BERR,
I bet he smelled better coming out than he did going in! XD
terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr, Speaking of partying, Terr and I were just wondering if "Big Bird" is also a slang for see-saw???
Oh wait... oops, I'm in the wrong video, OOOHWHAA!
candleoflife 4 years ago
Berr, I have great news!!! It wasn't Graeme driving the cab after all, a case of mistaken identity. I'm not sure who it was that your doggy ate... Hey, at least the tour can continue now! LOL
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
I think it was that dude from the Muppets.
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr, I sent you a post before and it never showed up, does that happen sometimes?
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
yes, and I can't figure it out! Then when I go to post it again, I forget what I said sometimes, LOL!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
BERR,
Yikes! Give that doggie some ipecac syrup and induce vomiting immediately! Graeme has been recalled and can no longer be used as pet food!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Girls, I think someone ought to contact Justin, John, and Ray 'cause we three ladies need a little comforting tonight after all this hooplaha! HA! HA! HA!
candleoflife 4 years ago
CANDLE,
I'm back. Had to mash in those letters in the pretty colored box that says I'm exceeding my comment limit!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr, Yeah, I feel like they're trying to tell me I'm talking too much or something!
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Yeah, what's up with them? they should make an exception to the excessive comments and the 500 character limit for US ladies!!! We should be able to speak often and freely!! lol!
terrijane61 4 years ago
candle,
Tell them to get here STAT!! Drop their pant...oh, uh, I meant to say drop what they are doing and get here now!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr, Drop their WHAT???

terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr,

terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr, Maybe you could invite him in for a cocktail???
candleoflife 4 years ago
BERR,
Don't let him get away!! Detain him!!!
YIPES!!! THUNDER BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! At first I thought it was just me generating electricity, but this is the real thing!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr and Berr, That wasn't thunder! It was me crashing into the back of his blasted cab!!!!!!
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,

terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr,
Yep, I get the warm fuzzies for Justy and Johnny, and the absolute HOTS watching Ray bouncing with the music!! lol!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr and Berr, Warm, Fuzzy? Even better than my oldest slippers ladies!!!
candleoflife 4 years ago
Alright, you beat me over Berr! I hit traffic on the way... I have this cab in front of me, some guy driving with a beard... Wait just a minute, I don't believe this!!! It's Graeme!!!!!!
candleoflife 4 years ago
berr,
Caressing??? Oh, my but that Ray has a way with words! OH BOY!!! Well, if he needs to "brush up" on his caressing lessons, the TEACHER IS IN!!!!! ROFLMBO!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr and Berr, You gotta help me out here. I don't always get these abbreviations. I know ROFL is "rolling on floor laughing", but the MBO? Does that mean "my bathrobe off"???
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Ohhhh, possibly!!! XD!!! Depends on why we are rollin' on the floor! hahahahah!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr,
Tap happy!!! BAAHHH HAAA HAAA!!! Ray came up with a good one there!! Oh, that Ray. Such a sweet and funny guy!! You know, I bet he would be an absolute blast to have over for an evening tea!! He would probably keep me in stitches the whole time! Such a witty, smart, fun guy!!! Oh, I could stir his tea with my finger to sweeten it up!! LOLOLOL!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Terr, NO, NO, NO... Didn't you mean to say have over for an evening "of me" instead of "tea"??? HA, HE, HO!
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Oh, yes! Darned keyboard made an error again! XDDDD
terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr,
Watch what he "lights up" too. What may appear to be a Marlboro, just MAAAAAYYYYY be something else altogether!! HA HA HA!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Wheww!(wiping sweat from my forehead)that was close...
hee, hee, hee!!
candleoflife 4 years ago
Yeah Berr, that's right. See Terr, nothing to worry about... Dr. Feelgood, I mean Mr. Thomas, we hardly paid him no mind at all, although...he seemed to be paying Berr an awful lot of mind... Wait a minute, no one else can read what I'm writing here, right???
candleoflife 4 years ago
Berr, Saw you in "New Horizons" no vocal track. Love this version and without the vocals you can hear the beauty of the melody so clearly. This has always been a favorite song of mine...
candleoflife 4 years ago
Hi Berr, I sent you a post, but I think I hit discard by mistake. Must be from the wine. Speaking of wine, It was Graeme who gave it to me while I was riding in the back of his cab. I see he's back to his old tricks again!!! HA!
candleoflife 4 years ago
I have a splitting headache from 2 glasses of wine so I'm signing right off. I'll try and have the prison guard slip a note to you both tomorrow... Geepers, we sure get into a lot of trouble when we're together. We're like the three musketeers! LOL......
candleoflife 4 years ago
berr,
and our teeth......ohh, Ray just called and said "Bite me, Baby".LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Berr,
Well, I am very glad that you all landed safely after Graeme buzzed my workplace in the Lear Jet!! It's a wonder RB didn't have heart failure!! LOL!!! I hope RB saved me a piece of cake!!!! He can feed it to me in little tiny bites, and hold my tea for me to sip, since I'm so tired!! hee hee~!!!!! Really, Edgie needs to leave the flying to somebody else!! He's just miffed because we can't find him a girlfriend!!
BAHHH HA HA!!!! :D
terrijane61 4 years ago
Hi Terr, Berr and I were REAL GOOD GIRLS! Right Berr, we just went to a little old birthday party for John. It was totally harmless. We did nothing but eat cake with lots of kissing oops!, I meant to say icing that is...
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Who, oops, I mean what was the icing on? LOL!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
berry,
Ohhh, tell Ray that when I get rested up, he is in the most wonderful "trouble" he has ever been in!! LOL!! I hope you ladies took it easy on poor Ray, after all, he is pushing the 70 mark, and has some health troubles!! Hope he has something left for me! ROFLMBO!!!! Too bad I couldn;t have been there to lick the birthday cake off of Ray's precious face!! LOL!! XD!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Yeah, if kissing and hugging these guys is against the law, then we'd definitely be commiting crimes (of passion, hee, hee!!!) Oh Officer, arrest us... LOL
candleoflife 4 years ago
candle,
Oh yes!! We are "Guilty As Charged" LOL!! But our guys would bail us out!! They would miss us so badly, we wouldn't even spend a whole night in the slammer!!
BOND IS POSTED!!! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!
terrijane61 4 years ago
Candle,
Ohhh, I just had a thought!! Ray, Lodgie, and Justy in full cop uniforms, HANDCUFFS and all!!! Saying to us 3 ladies, "You are all under arrest!! We're gonna have to haul you all in and book you!!" Ohhh, yeah!!!
