From the album On The Threshold Of A Dream, 1969

Are You Sitting Comfortably
By Ray Thomas and Justin Hayward

A wonderful classic of the Moody Blues, considered one of the bands all time favorites and still performed live today. I remember seeing for the first time live in 1970 and knowing then that this band has an insight and connection to spirit. For those that know the album, this song has an abrupt ending...hence I have it followed by the second part of, "Have you Heard" by Mike Pinder.

Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.

Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.

The Seven Wonders of the World he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.


Have You Heard (part 2)
By Mike Pinder

Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.

Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?

If you don't believe in Arthur, Merlin, Love as a way of being, just give a listen, you will. 40 years on and I still am just as taken as I was in 1968.

I have been sitting comfortably with the Moodies since the beginning. Going to see them this spring in NY.Always fearful that it might their last show, but I have thinking that for many years now....I take my wife, 3 adult children, and 4 grandkids in their teens, amazingly the teens love them as much as we do....continue rocking...

@TheEldoradoKid Music such as this ,I believe,can be likened to a time machine.One note,one verse,and are you not taken back to a different place in time?Music is like magic,not the illusionist type,but something that really alters time and space in the secret person we are in our heart.The true mind altering drug!!

@MrXxxzzzqqq When our minds (and bodies) become semi-permeable to the light and time differential, and shift to perception of the 4th dimention in the not too distant future, perhaps by the end of 2012, if we attain "critical mass", this music will be the soundtrack of the change.... I'm in my 50s and also glad I experienced this wonderful mindblowing music the first time around....carressing the senses indeed! Namaste..

[MrXxxzzzqqq]

So sad thad young people today don't have the music of the 60's and early 70's to caress their senses.62 and still carried away by it.So wonderful,so grateful!

[mejobsworth]

Lovely, remember it all, I think?

[Eglantinetje]

I am sitting comfortably and started reading "legends of king Arthur and his knights". All thanks to the Moody Blues. Life can be wonderful! These moments I do enjoy!

I just recently turned 20 and I've been listeing to this band since I was 13... their music has helped me reach an inner peace inside me that i've never really known about till a few years ago...
