"Procession"/"The Story In Your Eyes" - The Moody Blues

This is 1 of 3 "Track 1 + Track 2" combos that I have uploaded.

The album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" is 1 of several albums by the Moody Blues in which the first 2 tracks link together (no pause between songs). It is intended to be heard as if the 2 tracks are only one long song. It doesn't make sense to listen to the first track without hearing the second afterward, so this video is my way of sharing with you the way this music was intended to be heard.
The first 7 albums by the Moody Blues all have songs that connect (with the exception of the last song on side 1 and the first song on side 2).

Song Details:
"Procession" = It's a journey through time with music, beginning with creation ("DESOLATION! CREATION!"), transitioning to caveman chants (all band members participating in grunts), then some more familiar instruments.
"The Story In Your Eyes" = written by lead singer / guitarist Justin Hayward.

NOTE: I've found that listening to the "The Procession" with headphones is far more interesting... plus it's easier to pick up sounds during more quiet parts of the song. Although you might jump when it gets loud all of the sudden!

The images in this video is the album artwork (outside and inside). The album is a gatefold design (not limited to the 12X12 LP jacket surface) so that when the album is opened the whole picture is revealed.

you cant imagine how it was to be a young stoner in 71 and hearing this for the first time. M.B. rocked my world. i hope all who listen really understand. it was 8 track time, odd but the best we had. live forever in hearts old and young.

My mom thought the piano riff at the end of the song reminded her of the Munsters theme. I can't hear this song without being reminded of that. LOL.
