Moody Blues- Melancholy Man

[zinger52]

Ha ha I had to laugh at the line up does Jeremy know where the Stig is? great song and put together with much feeling and sentiment.

[bbsb300]

@zinger52 Hey Thanks Zinger for your comment lol! I sent this to the Stig ages ago and thought he would have appreciated the solo lol! Jeremy is looking in all the wrong places. This song constantly repeats the melody and I did get a bit sad recording it lol! Cheers Billy ;)

[Stiggyclapton]

Lol...The Stig plays the Moody Blues too ! ..

[zoirozada]

[pugmom6]

This song makes me want to get that teary eye again. Kinda sad

[bbsb300]

It's a great song believe it or not I had a lot of fun making this. The same theme throughout the song just keeps repeating and repeating and repeating lol! It was driving me mad just playing the same 13 notes the whole way through, but that was only one part of it;) Here's a tissue, Billy ;)

[minicheesy]

[bbsb300]

Thanks Jimmyboy you are too kind but I love it lol! I covered Tueday Afternoon and Watching & Waiting. I have part of Broken Dreams recorded but it needs a lot of work still, anyway thanks for a very encouraging comment, Cheers mate, Billy ;)

[paullongball]

Super, Billy!!! Bravo & well done!

Wait, I'm gonna put on my helmet and watch again!

[paullongball]

Yep, you're great!

5 stars twice!!!!! ;D

Hi from the east coast to all Lemons!

[bbsb300]

Hi Paul, Glad you made it safely to the far east. Thanks for your lovely compliment, your the greatest!! Sometimes I think I must be as mad as you, but the helmet really help cause I could'nt hear what I was playing hahaha! Say Hi to Lady M;) No golf non stop rain Yuk!!! ;(

[LegacyRiff]

The Dot, the Strat, the accoustic,... wow you're now officially a one one man band.

Great singing Billy, and you often choose difficult pieces. I'd say that the only thing nagging me the first time I listened to it was the (slightly) slower tempo, but it gives it another feel and as always you pull it off by making this song your own.

Another 5 stars.

-John

P.S. The Crash Helmet was a surreal touch that blends well with the style of the song...

[bbsb300]

Yep Johnboy but the bass drum is a killer haha!. Thanks so much for a great comment. I've had 8 comments and you are the first to mention the bike helmet hehe! Your right it really does blend in with the theme of the song. Thank you also for those woonderful enormous stars..I will treasure them ;) If I get a spare hour or two I will message you ;)

[bbsb300]

Thanks Deb so much, Glad you liked it,thanks again for a wonderful compliment;)

[redbaron863]
