The Moody Blues- Question

[nomanfu69]

the truth is hard to swallow ( we all enter this world "spiritually dead" ) , but searching for truth and reading the Word (BIBLE) our spiritual self awakens and the Lord Jesus draws us in ......... what a wonderful thing

[jsilence418]

@nomanfu69 Jesus was my co pilot, but we crashed in the Andes mountains and I had to eat him !

[Makumazahn77]

I learned this song when I was playing with a great guitar buddy and a great vocalist in the late 70's in the Cleveland area. We rocked it good. I loved the fast strumming part at the beginning and end of the song best. It was a great workout!

[margies47]

I woke up just singing this song, at 2;17 on. It's SO Beautiful.

[CASTADIVA70]

well, english is not my native language,still, when i first came accross this song,long,very long time ago it stayied with me.....till today,that i am old and grey......what more can i say...???????????

[thedarkshitstain]

When I hear this song I just can't help but think of cowboys on horses riding really fast. and the brave little toaster for some reason

[SamuraiClinton]

"There was a disturbance today on the Internet. The Internet was not the only community to have a small-scale protest as well. Over 4,000,000 Internet users have taken part in Internet piracy, then without warning SOPA began launching orders to take down free entertainment. People will continue to use the Internet and will express their views on free entertainment."

STOP SOPA NOW! See the resemblance to the quote from Pirates of Silicon Valley?

[thedarkshitstain]

Probably my favourite moody blues song. lyrically and musically

[julypad]

classic song of note !!!

[koenbergheger]

very good song but for the fuck how many times people sing the truth or songs tell this world is even wurse than ever before , so listem think cry and dy.

[SamuraiClinton]

@koenbergheger If people are gonna cry inevitably, then you might as well just give them more ultimatums. Talk about regulating our resources.

Hard economic times is the hard reality of creepy people.

[MetalMistress888]

Very powerful song. Lyrically and musically.

[boggym1999]

This song was originally to have been called 'A Question of Balance', like the album it appeared on. The song was about the Vietnam War, not God, love or an introspective view of the singer's life, wife or religion.

It's only a song, albeit a brilliant one ...

[HealthyFortunes]

My other half sings this song about his ex wife....... I'm looking for someone to take my wife.......It took him so long to get rid of her. So glad he did :) His life is much better now.

[Syzygy60]

ur choice

[Syzygy60]

this song is about your ignorance,shall u continue?

[Greg763]

NICE !!!!!

[lance69ification]

This song is about god. wat a douch...

[NephthysMesheop]

Sumpter is right. aimsmithgolf, you're an idiot

[pappawheelie09]

Thank You i have memory problems and couldn't remember the name of this song i forgot the title and that my favorite part is towards the Middle. thanks again

[JOSECHETATRIBUTE]

Barnone, the Moody's best song!

[aimsmithgolf]

" I started a joke

which started the whole world crying

But I didn't see

that the joke was on me, ... "

True so true Sumter.

[aimsmithgolf]

The songwriter is expressing his disillusionment with his government and their policies which have led to 100k's needless deaths. He once believed that what he was told and taught was true but found out that the "love" that government had been "giving" was only meant for them.  It's a wake up call to me. Sad to learn so late in life that what you have always thought was true has turned out to be mostly lies. A very powerful and moving song !

[SUMPTERS1]

@aimsmithgolf not everything is about the goverment.you really know your music what a joke

[nemesiskrstn]

@SUMPTERS1 its not about gov't lmao to me its about god.

[kiuhy8]

love the drop down acoustic part. wonderful! :)

[aadbind64]

This is real MUSIC

[katecatou]

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!DAVID you are so gifted!!!!

[Weissmenchland]

in the Oxford English Dictionary this entry was found:

Moody Blues-English rock band, par excellence.

[codimis]

My friend introduced me to this song a few weeks ago and I am an addict. It makes me very sad and happy simultaniously. Not easy to do!

[mikesb69]

The acoustic guitar in the beginning is awesome!

[TooBigToHide]

KNOCK KNOCK, WHOS THERE? THE QUESTION. THE QUESTION WHO? THE QUESTION WAS KNOCK KNOCK!

[MrDennisPeters]

"...that all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you." My God, whatever happened to the music industry? There has been no songs written or performed at this level for a very long time. Am I wrong about this?

[BENFICA60]

@MrDennisPetersAll I see today is mediocrity and it's going to be the death of me! All facets of society whether it's cuisine, proper etiquette, good manners, bloodsucking politicians, Wall Street vampires, education... are totally bogus. And worst of all are these peckersnot teenagers who think they invented the technology age. They only care about how things affect them. At least in the 60's young people put their asses on the line, some in Vietnam and some protesting. We stood for something

[kiuhy8]

@MrDennisPeters no you're not wrong

[VitoBandito1]

@MrDennisPeters It went Satanic.

[m7j23s53]

@MrDennisPeters I grew up with the Moody Blues music, and I don't think their music will ever be matched. That is just my honest opinion.

[HEMIChopper69]

For DEB,,,,, Love Joe xoxoxoxo,,,, A miricle in my life !!

[danbaumann84]

Jobs and Woz that will dance to your music

[Tull29]

Missed out on the tickets. I tried but was too slow!

I am going to miss seeing my all time favorite band but you know what, somehow it does not seem to matter.

I have the memories and the music!

[Davechop54]

Awesome! Had the album in high school when it came out. Changed my life, for the better. Saw them live in March 1972 War Memorial Syracuse NY. I was a junior at West Genesee.

[cookmoore]

Is it safe to say that this sound a bit like the Hollies?

[DaveJavuify]

@cookmoore No. The Hollies never sounded this good. Peace and Love

[chuckbuckbobuck]

Best Moody Blues song by far and one of the best of the 1970s--something eerie in this song but I can't put my finger on it except to say it is a very dramatic song!

[irishbogman]

Just heard this on a local radio station, brought back all the memories from way back then, great song

[mysticlady16]

The lyrics are amazing people just need to listen to this and really listen, then thing could change in Love & War, it all about choosing your words, listening to the word & others, balance, peace & Love. I hope Moody Blues are around forever

[rustyboy0262]

@mysticlady16 I truly appreciate your heartfelt desire for man to stop what he's doing and go in a better direction, I couldn't agree with you more, but someone has to be the bearer of bad news for honesty's sake. Never in the history of mankind has a song every alterd the course of this world and as near as I can see it never shall. We live in a corrupt world run mostly by corrupt men and any hope for change will only be found elsewhere, in Him.

[mysticlady16]

@rustyboy0262 this is so true to bad they don't take time to smell the roses (Listen to the song) it could make positive changes to this world without war.

[mysticlady16]

The lyrics are amazing people just need to listen to this and really listen then thing could change

[supersamy60]

can"t get any better than this.

[hickwink]

The Moody Blues helped get me through my "Deep Blue Funk." I was depressed in 1990 and I would walk all over the place listening to them, The Traveling Willburys, and Frank Sinatra. It took about 6 months, but it worked.

[joker777x]

"There is nothing that we need

In a world of persecution

That is burning in it's greed"

[23moksha]

A tab of acid, and the Moodys on the stereo...those were the days my friend.

[pegboied]

@23moksha -- Oh yeah.. many pleasant memories... takin' a trip w/o leavin' the farm.

[myepiphone]

This reminds me of when I was 11,our English Teacher read out the lyrics in a poetry lesson,the whole class fell about laughing because we thought it said "To learn as we grow old,the secrets of Arseholes".....talk about casting pearls before swine.

[crsmoulton]

Perfection on a stick! Thanks for posting!

[mobyboy]

No question - this is a great song

[jonnygouda1]

This is the kind of stuff that got me through five years of college. The Moody Blues could be rock n roll or they could do more thoughtful songs - and without being depressing. In 1990 I had just about their entire library albeit on cassette tape (hey, they hadn't invented the Disc-Man, yet. We had Walkmans). I hope these guys keep playing until the last one of them drops dead on stage and they have to pry that guitar from their cold dead fingers. :) That's much better than a gun after all

[Dhunatmik]

Only a few things have truly captured me in life....since the 60's the Moodies are one of them....

[jhardy133]

The one who will change your life is staring back at you from the mirror.

[2500grit]

@jhardy133 - - The one who can change your life is the one that made you! ------------------- And I'm not talking about your parents

[MultiWebweaver]

Scarlett Johansson the fire that is burning inside me for you will burn forever.it's more when you mean it what will be, all the love you've been giving has been meant for you. You are my miracle. Xlibris...

[kurtizzyflush]

@MultiWebweaver Geez! Get a Playboy and some baby oil.

[clinkgirl2009]

Thanks for posting - my favorite Moody Blues song!

[katrastrophy]

This song is deeply touching....I know I am setting myself up o' well.

[koenbergheger]

this is so much better than that lady ga ga shit. and my favorite part is between 1.45 and 4.14.

[1868James]

My favorite part is between 3:17 & 3:55.

[1868James]

Dig the drum run at 5:25.

[TheApplep1e]

Grew up with this .... heard it on Radio 2 the other day ... transported bak to partys at my parents house when I was small !! x

[4IAMATITOK]

catch that pigeon

[darrenable1]

This Great Song was written for Matthew Barnett and The Dream Center, Angelus Temple, Hope for Homeless Yutes. Matthew Ch. 21 vs 13

[IkbenAlphastar]

For some reason I love the part between 1:00 and 1:12 .

[countrysinger1952]

@IkbenAlphastar I like this part, too. I like the whole song but this part is very pretty.

[KyrieEleison46]

Classic.

[rapidtightgroup]

Classic tune....good old english music

[ashbyhmason]

The greatest rock song ever!

[fingletoad]

Whooo!  thank you!

[TheJocatus]

The real question is why the Moody Blues haven't been inducted yet...-_-

[pr3egl]

@TheJocatus Obviously they're not as good as, say...oh the f u # &-ing Sex Pistols ?????

I'm with you...it's rigged...like all of our elections!!!

[rexrockandroll]

AS AMERICANS WE SHOULD QUESTION EVERYTHING IN LIFE..FROM OUR GOVERNMENT, OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM TO OUR PARTNERS, FRIENDS ANYTHING..DONT EVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED, EXCEPT THE END ITSELF...

[dmkwils]

@rexrockandroll Question Obama.

[2500grit]

@rexrockandroll ---You absolutely need to question the end?

[pr3egl]

@rexrockandroll I got a question....do you know you can turn off the 'caps lock' on your keyboard? Typing in all capital letters is considered "yelling" or "bullying", and your message...with which I agree and practice daily...is neither.

But if you want to play; stay right back on earth,

waiting for rebirth.

[TheJoker6188]

@rexrockandroll Only fools question everything. Thats why this country will fail, cause when you base a goverment on questioning everything instead of trust in ones government you'll only every end up with a Schizophrenic government and that will be destoryed by endless Civil Wars

[Tamoharadasa]

@TheJoker6188 ; Better that than sucking reptilean d---.

[outlawcountryman]

@TheJoker6188 only people who want to know questions get answers..only fools never ask questions.

[fingletoad]

Yes! This was a fab time to be young, thanks for posting!

[gnawurfaceoff]

with a thousand million questions

[TheTonypizz]

@gnawurfaceoff and the moodys give the answers

[MultiStreamline]

This will sound much much better when it is faster

[TheTonypizz]

@MultiStreamline yeah and lady gaga doing backround vocals what r u smoking



[iluminati20]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[mike41183]

A true Masterpiece.

Stormcrow

[geiadude]

This without question is the best version of this song Hands down!

[MrFootfree01]

@geiadude I agree.

[dudemeisterSC]

@geiadude I agree 100%

[darklordojeda]

@geiadude without question there would be no song.

[jert38]

I like the energy of this song.

[MasterHobbs]

great song

[harryf200]

I heard a program on the TV just yesterday, about Progressive Rock bands, where it was said this was two unfinished songs spliced together.

[PTSlee11]

Classic track

[SilentWolfWoman]

Golden Oldie .. Awesome

[spiralarch]

So much better than the remix/re-recording. Why do they mess with perfection? Thanks for posting!

[LindaCeeW]

Agree. I got the remix version on a Greatest Hits I bought and was sooooooo disappointed!
