The Moody Blues are one of the best bands ever, and their lyrics were always something special. I am glad I had the chance to attend one of their concerts.

Hayward had 2 songs - neither complete and mashed them together to create this masterpiece - been a fave of mine for over 50 years running - always a wonderful listening experience.

I was blessed to see the moody blues when I was in high school. All my schoolmates in New Jersey were jealous. They sounded just as good live as they did on a record, 8 track or cassette.

The Moody Blues are one of the first progressive rock bands from the 60's. Mystical, Atmospheric, Dreamy and Poetic. One of my favourite bands. ❤

This was one of my favorite songs by the Moodys - great rock message song, mixed with one of the most beautiful, and beautifully-sung, middle sections with very meaningful lyrics and really showcasing Justin Hayward's spectacular voice. He is a true genius - lyricist, composer, guitarist, and singer.

The Moodys are a band with a huge, decades-spanning catalog. Even though they have a huge following, their music is underappreciated by many., but you got it right off the bat. You described perfectly how their music can stir one’s soul. They had a tremendous singer/guitar player, Justin Hayward, along with a keyboardist, Mike Pinder, who also played the mellotron, a very challenging,, but atmospheric type of organ that added so much depth and beauty to their music. Based on your other reactions, I think you would really enjoy a deeper dive into their catalog. All the best.

On "Prog at the BBC" programme they said the song was made up of two different songs tied together because they were both short so Justin decide to join them. Love your reactions ❤

With the Moody Blues you can generally count on poetic lyrics set to fantastic instrumental arrangements. And, on their Days of Future Past concept album they were one of the first rock & roll bands to record and sometimes appear live with an orchestra. They have a lot of very varied material to explore, as you go along.

The Moodies were medicinal, mystical, melodious, and mature. They didn't waste time on teen issues, but jumped right into the big issues of the day. Their grand seven concept albums can almost be considered as a unit, and eventually need to be known as seven fingers in a rock and roll hand. They and their fans are wizards, and we are beginning to suspect that you too are a wizard, fooling around with all that advanced progressive music that uses higher maths and brainfoods. Another winner!

The Moody Blues' songs always takes you on trip with their music. This was when many artists wrote songs that questioned the status quo. You need to listen to the whole of their 1967 album "Days of Future Past" a concept album that takes you on a journey through a day.

I love the beautiful middle section which feels heartfelt and sincere. Not sure what's it's doing sandwiched between the Who-like opener and closer. Nevertheless, very successful, peaking at #21 in Billboard and #2 in the UK.

The Moody 's were a really great band. Were together for years. ( this recording sounded a bit muffled to me - it's alot cleaner on my cd!. ) Their most famous hit is Nights in white satin. There is a longer album version or a shorter single release. It's epic. Other decent hits include. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. That's a fast one. Or For my Lady. Very laid back. You and me has great guitar work in it. Isn't life strange is not disimilar to Question. Same feel. Justin Haywood did a great single called Forever Autumn. It's pretty potent too. You won't go far wrong listening to some of their classic hits.

Moraz was fired in 1991. There was a lengthy court case that followed his dismissal. He was, apparently, offered $400,000 before the lawsuit, but came away with $77,175.
