We can all use some OM in our lives - the Moodies knew this long ago.

Lyrics:

This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light,
And then thru gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lay,
The sounds of colour and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe.
But it's all around if we could but perceive.
To know ultra-violet, infra-red and X-rays,
Beauty to find in so many ways.
Two notes of the chord, that's our fluoroscope.
But to reach the chord is our lifes hope.
And to name the chord is important to some.
So they give a word, and the word is OM.

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skys all cry
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

The Earth turns slowly round
Far away the distant sound
Is with us everyday
Can you hear what it say
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head
I know why the skys all cry
OM, OM, Heaven, OM

  • Is that Graham speaking?

  • Graeme wrote The Word but Mike Pinder recited it. Both Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas share vocals on OM.

  • I found nirvana. Thank you for posting. It was right in front of me and I didn't even know it. The universe.

  • OMG! This is so powerful...the song, of course, and your visuals. I was in my own little world when the Moody Blues were popular so I don' t know their music. I love this! Thank you!

  • Yes, cool and out of this world tune, right on.

  • @HeartoftheDragonColo Are you sure that it is not Californian Skunk?

  • If there's smoke burning, it's Nag Champa. Probably.

  • When Pindar was in the band he did all of the Odes...

  • @turdy3birdy "old geezer hippie"?  lol. well I've been called worse.

  • I laughed when I saw "fluoroscope!" I thought it was, "two notes of the chord, that's our "forescope!" For all these years, I did! In fact, just the other day, I was looking in the dictionary for "forescope." It's not there.

    I have a hard time understanding limeys, anyway. Ok, after 40+ years, this old geezer hippie stands corrected; it's "full scope!"

  • mmmm purple oms.anyone remember those?damn they were good acid.

  • OOOMMMMMMMMMMMM thank you much!!! BEN OM 4 YEARS!!!

  • @spacepatrolman tears flowing.. i miss my old friends who tip-toed with me, in heavens...

  • Well Done--Really dug it.
