Awe... The Moodies performing a classic Christmas song. It couldnt get any better than this!! Absolutely beautiful!!! The Moodies forever my friends!! ♥
Now, I really like the way this version is done. While I'm listening to them and right after listening to them, I can't help but take a big sigh. I get so incredibly comforted by their music and voices
No, Graham doesn't 'sing'. He does recite, if you will, as in the laments he does in Nights In White Satin, and through the song Higher and Higher... usually when you hear 'speaking' being done (there is also a song on their Strange Times CD where he recites).. and many others.. just listen.. his voice is beautiful even if it's not 'singing'.
@JustaMoody The voice you hear reciting Graeme's poems on the early albums was not Graeme's, but Mike Pinder's. I believe I'm right in saying that the Strange Times poem, Nothing Changes, is the first time that Graeme's voice is heard on a Moodies Album. During the Moodies' hiatus in the 1970s, Graeme did release two solo albums - Kick off your muddy boots and Paradise Ballroom - where he did have a go at singing, but even he admits this was not a great success!
did i once say they could play anything? right again! thanks bg for turning me on to this..even if i never listen (snif!)to christmas music! and thanks troutlord, for posting a CLASSIC that is right up there with all the stuff i remember from yore!
Your welcome and ty for the nice comment and rating.I too am a huge Moody fan and have seen them at least 11 times and actually had the pleasure meeting them. Class act band all the way. Watch for another Moody Xmas vid or 2 soon.
I remember when they performed this at the end of a few shows in late 2003. Really enjoyable. I wish they'd do it again some time.
