Moody Blues: Nice To Be Here

Music of the Moody Blues- Nice To Be Here.

Nice to be here hope you agree
Lying in the sun
Lovely weather, must climb a tree
The show has just begun

All the leaves start swaying
To the breeze that's playing
On a thousand violins
And the bees are humming
To a frog sat strumming
On a guitar with only one string

I can see them they can't see me
I feel out of sight
I can see them they can't see me
Much to my delight

And it seems worth noting
Water rats were boating
As a lark began to sing
The sounds kept coming
With Jack Rabbit loudly drumming
On the side of a biscuit tin

I can see them they can't see me
I feel out of sight
I can see them they can't see me
Much to my delight

Silver minnows were devising
Water ballet so surprising
A mouse played a daffodil
A mole came up blinking
Underneath an owl who's thinking
How he came to be sat on a hill

I can see them they can't see me
I feel out of sight
I can see them they can't see me
Much to my delight

I know you won't believe me
But I'm certain that I did see
A mouse playing daffodil
All the band was really jumping
With Jack Rabbit in there thumping
I found that I couldn't sit still
I just had to make it with them
Cause they played my kind of rhythm
And the bees hummed in harmony
And the owl played his oboe
Then the frog's guitar solo
It was all just too much for me

I had to listen to it twice; once to hear the song, once to watch the video with the song. This is typical Moody Blues ala their psychedelic years.

I discovered this beautiful music in a bizzare way. I was searching to google if the phrase 'nice to be here' is correct, to use it on my english essay. And I found this link.

Can't mess with fate.

i agree. beautiful melodic bassline of John Lodge!

[BruceBeatlefan]

The quintessential Ray Thomas song: childlike in its utter lack of self-consciousness, simple, fanciful, sometimes silly, and musically irresistible. Ray concocts a song from a nature walk, turning woodland creatures into a menagerie of musical polyphony, from bees buzzing in harmony to a mouse playing a daffodil (?) . Justin recalls how he failed to play his guitar part with "only one string"--it required two! Also features perhaps the most melodic and prominent bass part ever from John Lodge.
