Es ist wunderbar zu sehen, wie nach solanger Zeit immer noch soviele Leute für diesen wundervollen song sich positiv äußern. Mich begleitet er seit dreißig Jahren mit den besten Erinnerungen an eine der tollsten Frauen, die ich kennen lernen durfte. Danke Moodies und danke Evi.......
Sometimes the best songs are those that bring tears of joy or memory of people we loved and love...our whole life before our very eyes...This is one of them songs...I love the Moodies and thank them because they helped me get closer to my feelings at an age so fragile..when I was young...Thank you Moodies...
@JJRamirodafonseca, you're SO right, they are the very essence itself of "the legend of a band", as 1 of their Greatest Hit compilations is aptly titled. I especially love watching their live clips of any sort from the 60's on, seeing them twice in concert myself. No matter how tired from the road, they just keep building steam until they are coming at you like an unstoppable freight train, & the beauty of their music takes you & the whole crowd into another completely different world! THE Band!
What a fabulous voice. And what other band on earth could pull off an accordian and the "la-la-la's" at the end of the song. Amazing. This band . . . no other comes close.
72, huh? That explains why it's not on the Isle of Wight DVD...Love this song the most by this great band, but there isn't hardly a loser to be found. Thank God they were not of age now because this type of music would not make it today. It's a sad commentary on where music has gone. I hope to live long enough to see the comeback of great bands like this.
When I first heard this on the radio in the seventies, I didn't know it was a Moody Blues song. I thought it was the British National Anthem, and lol, I wanted to become British and sing this song for an antherm. It is pretty awesome.
The Moody Blues music does bring a peace and tranquility to your soul. Just listen to them. Magnificent music too go along with wonderful lyrics. I lost my father-in-law, my brother and my dad 2 years ago, within a 2 month period. . All great men in their own way. It was a very troubling time for all of us. However, I allowed myself too listen too this wonderful music. It helped immensley. Thank-you for this post.
@cloudjia You're right on the money. This and Isn't Life strange written by John Lodge are my two favorite songs by this great band. Gemini Dream is another great tune as well.
You're most likely correct about the politicians. It's best to just listen to the music and hell be dam'ed about this country & the world. 'Can't do anything about it anyway. Listen to the late 60's San Fransisco group.."It's a Beautiful Day". That will relax the spirit in us.
I also agree . The moodies were way ahead of their time . They can bring you peace and love in your heart , and at times they can almost fold space and time with their pieces . SO sit back and take another sip my love ........
saw them at the Albert Hall gig they recorded for the "Hall of Fame" release. This was the best song of the night by far...goodness knows why it never made it onto the album...
my Sharons song who a sadly past away on the 6 / 09 taken away from us so young only 47 years old , died so quick god wantied her to look after us . and by god she has looked after me . after i broke my neck this last year
Do you always express "your" feelings by calling names? Go back 5 months and read all the preschool squabbles! Most of those people were expressing "their" feelings about things other than the topic at hand!
Back off with your behind the keyboard vitriol! TWIT!
Amazing song with amazing talent from a time when amazing was truely amazing. Seriously miss those times. When people actually played original music on real instruments. Progress ? SAD !!!
The timeless beauty that is the Moody Blues. Elegance, Soft. Music you can make love to, cry to, remember to, and smile to. No band ever has been able to touch all the human emotions. Let alone do it in a single song. My family has known plenty of tragic since the mid 70's. The Moodies have been there to sooth our pain. I will be forever linked to this band.
@katialeitao2004 saddened by your loss at 9, my dad died when I was 11. When I hear the Moodies my dad is in my heart. That will never change and God Bless the MB for giving us soundtracks for our lives that are uplifting and heartwarming. Amen. When I read your post...I cried..for you.
What a kind reply. I am very sorry for your loss too, and I have some idea of what you may have gone through. How old are you now? I am 41 today.This song is just so all encompassing, the long wave it sends...
I am touchedthat I made you cry, I was not aware of the strenght of my words, though my heart was so full of meaning when I wrote..Thank you for reading and understanding. Love to you, Katia
Jess, I just love the way you put it. It is exactly that. My family has had its share of tragedies and it is true that the moody blues somehow seem to embrace it all with their all-encompassing gesture of music.
They have history, present. past, culture, individuality, family, shared experience, passion, collected gentleness, pacience, the passing of time, sadness understanding, a sense of human complicity... My father is present in this voice. Moody Blues...Timeless company.
I love you guys. My first husband and I are re-correcting, I want to be with him; I love you again. I am praying that we will be again. I am love again, for our lady . Please give us together, my pretty again lady.
British rock invasion was not just the Beatles, Stones, etc, it was fantastic groups like the Moody Blues.Blues. All their albums were great beyond measure. It's too bad that you never hear them played on the radio. Even Oldes stations never play music like this. A real American shame! [November we'll overthrough The scum Obam-unists and freedom will return!!!].
@amceagle1 Yeh I loved Dave Clark Five, Hollies, and and other British bands that were better than the Stones and were as good as the Beatles. Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd
@amceagle1 Your post sounded nice up until the end. And yes, the radio plays The Moody Blues, but it's always the same stuff, Nights In White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon. But us fans know they are way much more than that and really, that's ok with me. I can enjoy them without hype. Now, if you seriously think "freedom" will return just because Obama is gone, you negate all the things you just said about the Moodies in the begining of your post. All politicians are the same, they suck.
Oh, and The United States was screwed well before the Obama Administration. Obama is merely a ding on a rusted jalopy. And you complain about the dents...
i'm only 16 years old, but me and my mom both agree on one thing-this song has a very strange, almost haunting mood to it. it's so beautiful yet haunting at the same time, it gives me the chills everytime i listen to it. my heart starts to ache too, strange huh? must be the song's beauty and meaning.
@dudesohardcore The song represents the feeling of every man that has truly loved his woman and understand what God intended to have a man and woman union and no one know better the he. Give it freely and completely!
This is a masterpiece from Ray Thomas. It is really a beautiful song. I always think of my wife, who has been with me for 20 yrs, whenever I listen to it.
es preciosa esta cancion....me acuerdo mucho de la universida de ingenieria civil.,estoy felizmente casado y dile al tiempo que vuelva,gracias por tener este medio...attem.
This is the song that my wife and my father danced to while I was dancing with my wife's mom at our wedding 22 years ago. My wife and I danced to "New Horizons"
To my wife of over 25 years....thank you for being ."..my gentle lady..." that has always quited my restless soul...all I can say is I love you soooooooooo..."
When I was a tennager I thought of Ray's songs as sickly and his style was out of date, but still listened to him and decades later I remember every detail ofn this song., which is really a masterpeice. Thanks ray for this contribution to the world.
In my view this is the greatest love song of all time. The words, the voice and the music are just brilliant, beautiful and peaceful. Set sail before the sun. feel the warmth that's just begun... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I never sang it to my lady and I can sing - somewhat - and we were wed in 1973 and we are still together. I will always get tears in my eyes when I listen to this. It's really, really good stuff!!
@dudemeisterSC thanks dude for the comment, if you could see what lifes done to my youthful good looks you know that my lady also has a great sense of humour just to stay with me!
I,d give MY life so lightly to MY gentle lady I sang this to her in 77 and hey next month is our thirtieth wedding anniversary so it must have worked!
Though very exciting, I don't think they broke a string. You can hear that sound all the time when playing a guitar. When using coil wound strings (basically not nylon), if you move your hand too fast while touching a string you'll make a kinda zippering sound. Which is what I believe this is.
When people ask me what my most fave song is I always cringe...as i have so many But!!! when they ask what I feel is my most romantic song is I always say "For My Lady" Its absolutely flawless!
I agree with many others that the Moody Blues are/were brilliant Another I adore is "The Story in Your Eyes"
I agree. This is one of the most beautiful love songs of all time and the Moody Blues first seven concept albums are amongst the best albums of all time. If I make it to heaven I believ they will be playing Moody Blues music there. Peace.
@makingsense53 I agree with you on The Moody's first 7. Something to be learned from their music, and it could change the world...if people would listen.
@huntingun1 . .saw them thrice . .Ray was AWESOME . . last time poor fella could barely get around . .his stool doubled as a walker . .but when he did this song and when he did the flute on Legend , ,and a dozen others . .the pinnacle of positive inspiration . .God has blessed us through him . .
Yes it is sad that Ray got ill and cant tour with band they are more popular than ever and busy touring.it was amazing that Justin found the girl from Mississippi but yes we all miss Ray and Mike who had enought on the road took off to have time for his family Mike is badly missed too but I am greatful the band plays on
God what a wonderful song this is! What the hell happened to music?

Does anyone hear the guitar string break @ 1:32?

yeah, I heard it ! wow, never noticed it before.. but they kept on singing !

Though very exciting, I don't think they broke a string. You can hear that sound all the time when playing a guitar. When using coil wound strings (basically not nylon), if you move your hand too fast while touching a string you'll make a kinda zippering sound. Which is what I believe this is.

When people ask me what my most fave song is I always cringe...as i have so many But!!! when they ask what I feel is my most romantic song is I always say "For My Lady" Its absolutely flawless!
I agree with many others that the Moody Blues are/were brilliant Another I adore is "The Story in Your Eyes"

I agree. This is one of the most beautiful love songs of all time and the Moody Blues first seven concept albums are amongst the best albums of all time. If I make it to heaven I believ they will be playing Moody Blues music there. Peace.

@makingsense53 I agree with you on The Moody's first 7. Something to be learned from their music, and it could change the world...if people would listen.

It almost makes me cry knowing that there will never be anyone even close to the Moody blues! I mean, it's a finite thing-no more coming. Sad.

This sounds so much like an old time sea chanty. I think that was the intent of the Moodys.

Caught the Moody Blues in concert this year. I miss Ray Thomas and his flute, though. All the Best, Ray!

I have a 2CD set of the Moody Blues' greatest hits, sadly this song is not on it.. it's surely one of their best that I remember..

Such a sweet, simple love song I have always liked. The Moody Blues are one
of my favorite progressive bands, along with Chicago. Attended a concert not so long ago with both performing together.
Magnificent Musicians!!
Thank you for this little, beautiful gem. - Penny

I had this done at our wedding in 1974. The group I invited to do it nailed it dead on, even brought a Moog to make it right.
