#JustinHayward #MoodyBlues #IKnowYoureOutThereSomewhere
How can one adequately thank you for all the music you and the Blues have given us? Your music will be eternal and the songs you've given us are treasures that will never grow old as we, your fans will.
A lifetime Moody Blues fan, this is one of my favorite of all their tunes. We miss Ray and Graham terribly and their live shows which I'd seen countless times over the decades. Justin is my favorite of all song writers and I am a musician and songwriter. Many years ago, my mother, who also loved The Moody Blues, commented on a song I had written and said it sounded like something Justin Hayward would write. My response? You couldn't have paid me a higher compliment! My wife, Teri, was and is a big fan and sings with me. We've done Moody Blues tunes in our gigs over the years.
This is the song that our senior class voted for as the theme music for our Senior Prom. 1971.
Excellent choice
Jealous, we had come and get your love by redbone for 2021 haha
Moodys for life
I’m 57, your music has been a part of my life about as long as i can remember..., thank you.
I am so grateful.
Praise God.
I was so very young when my sister left me the nights in White satin album when she moved my older sister.
And you know something just never stopped and I bought my brother five cassettes from Bradley‘s OK cause I was so into the Moody blues and he needed to have this in his life because you know I live in the city and he was still at home anyway it goes from there and you know what I love love love my Moody blues the lyrics are exceptional every member of that beautiful band brings tears to my eyes I love you
I am not a musician. But in my opinion I give the Moody Blues its own category of Rock & Roll: Celestial. The kind you listen to, when you are in heaven!
yeah even the name 'moody blues' sounds like a genre of music.
Justin is a musical genius!
... yes, The Moody Blues are a class act, existing in a uniquely progressive niche that is all of their own. Wonder-Full and Absolutely Magnificent. How such longingly sad music can be so magically uplifting, is beyond my ability to adequately describe and convey...
@@ryanbrownnew ... It-Is ...
I agree, the moodies are in a class with very few others in that class
Justin still sounds wonderful ....love listening all these 40+ yrs ❤even without the entire Moody Blues group there ....❤😊
Oh my God that was lovely! Justin we're not the fresh faced lads we were in the 1960's, but the spiritual richness of your compositions have lost nothing in the intervening time. This is music with message that will outlive us both.
And such a beautiful voice!
@@lindafox7506 Yes indeed! I got your reply in an e-mail and opened this up again for another listen. I'll stick with "lovely"! And it is a very well packaged live performance, better than most you will find on UA-cam. But thank you UA-cam for supporting videos like this. If I have to live through a few commercials now and then, it's worth it!
Well said!❤
His voice is still remarkable after all this time. Justin is a true gift to us all.
He is still so dreamy. After 50 years I finally saw him live ..I will never be the same
When I am sick or depressed I turn on Justin Hayward an I feel a lot better especially this song dawning is the day. Thank you Justin 😂 ❤
The Moody Blues have been my favorite Band since 1968. I am 65 now.
Did you start listening to Moody Blues when you were 8?:)
Wow! That was tremendous. What a blessing that song became. To see Justin perform it perfectly at his age is amazing. Keep it up Justin. Your music will last forever.
with tears in my eyes, i say never let his magic slip away
Hello Justin, I know you've probably heard this more times than you care to think about, but I want to let you know that you, your thoughtful writing and the work of the rest of the Moody's became the architecture of my life. I owe much of my career to the influence your music has had on me. So I humbly thank you.
Amen
50 years later and this song by justin still brings tears to.my eyes. God how i have loved the moody blues.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY SPIRITUALLY MINDED TO APPRECIATE THE GREAT MOODY BLUE'S....😇🙏👽🤗💝
I can't even express how much I Love this version of this classic song, all of it, Karmen's flute is magical, Mike's playing is lovely, Julie of course, everything and Justin just perfect, thank you all for this gift!!
Agree 100%
Still the Greatest Band in the World.
...and The Maestro casts his spell once again...❤️
Well put.
Indeed!
Let Merlin cast his spell.
Well, I'm 74 and still remember the Moody's making their mark on the music scene, in spite of the Beatles fame. I saw him recently, in the flesh, at the Bonus Arena Hull, doing his famous bit with 'Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds' live performance, revived for the '20's.
Didn't realise he was so tall, but it was great to see HIM!
Liam Neeson was on a slide film, talking through the 'war', with Jeff in the flesh too.
It was very good, but my highlight was seeing Justin 'live'. I know he's been touring the States, but wish he would tour the UK again. He's just a fantastic singer and song writer-cum-performer, and such a nice guy. He's never 'spoilt' himself, like the Beatles did, and fame never changed him. What a gentleman and a lovely guy.
You know Mr. Hayward, you have a strong, controlled voice, yet when it’s time to sing soft, you’re voice is like cutting into soft butter….. so very gentle and light.
I've been listening since 1970. Your songs were always a big part of my life.
oh yeah... so true, and me too! "Nights..." for me in 67 on the radio, but hardcore fan since 71. A neighbor girl played the 45 RPM version of Story in Your Eyes in the backyard for her 15th birthday party... I was smitten (by the song) and then immediately purchased every MB album available.
I wasn't even invited to her B'party either
I have listened to and loved and needed The Moody Blues for 40 years.
Every time I wear out a CD player, the 1st disc that goes in is always Moody Blues.
I gifted myself a new stereo for the new year and Sur La Mer was my choice.
Thank you, all of you
Blessed be
We love you, Justin. Your beautiful songs and your beautiful voice through the decades have helped your listeners so much.
Justin Hayward is one of the great songwriters of his time. I love all of his compositions, with the Moody’s, The Bluejays and as a solo artist. Such fabulous music.
Indimenticabili moody blues
Grande justin
One of the greatest of ALL time.
I well up with tears of joy. My father is 91 and after 20 years of hearing you I took him to your 1994 Mann Music Center show with The Moody Blues. He says it was the only ( rock) concert or band that was great. Just had an Ale with him and turned it up far to loud. Thank You Justin
I'm seventy I love this man I would love to meet him and put my arms around him I've lost my beautiful daughter and gent of a son less than yr half apart I've layed them together with a message on their headstone my life will be forever autumn cause your not here along with other words I no longer live I just exist x
@@brendadrumm9708 You have turned sorrow into beauty. So many family and friends of mine have died young since the 1980's . Justin is a troubadour of lovely music.
@@brendadrumm9708 I cried at your post..my prayers are with you for your terrible loss.xx beautiful words to express.xx
Back in the early 80's we had a tractor that just the cassette player part of the radio functioned
I had a MB tape to play in it
My Dad loved to listen to it!
I wish we could of discussed it more!
He would of been 101 yesterday.
@@jimrelph7963 Good memories Jim.
This man is a musical genius. The Tuesday Afternoon series is fantastic to watch and listen to. I am sure that Justin Hayward will be forever remembered as one of the best songwriters ever.
Listening to you & The Moodies since 1965. Your music is divine!
69 for me, Lovely To See You lit my world up. That High-hat!
Misty meadows .. wake up in the morning and start to be you..baby, there’s no price on your head...do it, don’t doubt it. Superb , as meaningful today as when written by Justin.
Gentle dreamy vocals, flawless introductions, and layers of lilting instruments is so delightfully musical, and creates a glorious morning scene for the listener. Is truly breathtaking.
The Moody Blues have always been my favorite band Justin. And that has not changed now, all these years later. Thanks for the music !
Hi Mr.Hayward!I wish to thank you one more time for granting me the honor to cover The Story In Your Eyes in one of my previous albums.I owe you and the Moodies so much!!!!
This is my very song sung by my very favorite group. I raised my children on a private island in the Bahamas and the sea surely spoke to us every single day. The tides, the wind p, the sky and the sea.
I’ve been listening The Moody Blues since 1972, simply amazing. There is a song that is so good to me that is underrated and is called “Had To Fall in Love”
Good Tuesday afternoon, Justin, as I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your musical visits every Tuesday afternoon with us your fans! Dawning is the Day is another one of your beautiful and timeless classics, Justin! Thank you... JMB
Oh my spectacular just found this first Thank you thank you for all the memories I was blessed to first see the Moodies at the ripe age 16 here in New York City in march of 1970 at the famed Bill Graham venue the Fillmore East and you were the main act, Lee Mixhaels an excellens backup, a night of music magic for a a lifetime
Do it, dont doubt it, then Flute. Im sitting here shivering with immense chill bumps. Plus im in tears, my heart feels good.
Question of Ballance.....one of the best albums ever........................
the classic seven albums are so dear to me. those songs helped me not to give up.
Just as beautiful as the first time I heard this song! Justin your songs are such a refreshing in these trying times! I thank God for you sharing your gift with us all! Hope you are well! Blessings!
AMEN and Shalom to all.
The only true lifeline is Jehovah God. You won't learn about him in Christendom's churches, who took his name out their bibles in over 7,000 instances as Rome took over the then depleted 'brand' for their own purposes. "Seek Jehovah while he may yet be found" - who makes Jehovah's name known today? John 17
Thanks for the love and the support its nice seeing you here
I love you all and the music. And Jim my husband that l lost on the18th of last year. You and Jim will always be with me.
Hello Justin! I regret not writing to collectively as a group to express my sentiments and appreciation for your music. I realize there were all various talents that subliminally entwined to present us with your kaleidoscope music. I have to say it is THE most pertinent and positive gift I've had in my life. It takes my soul and spirit and takes to to the depths of inner earth to over the rainbow, into the galaxies and rests me back into the serenity of my presence. I cannot give you enough accolades and I'm sure thousands share my thanks for having the benefit of enjoying and living your music. You are the trip without Timothy. 🙂
It's 11:22 PM and I'm moments away from hitting the sack. What a perfect ending to my day. Thank you Justin.
you just have to love Justin and the Moodies
No one tells the wind which way to blow....mesmerising, Listen we think we have found you 🌬🦋🦋✨💫 🕊️
gorgeous melody.
beautiful flute.
and that voice, ♥️
I was an adolescent when the Moody Blues were hitting the charts. They were my brother's favorite band. He was four years older than me and I was sill listening to bubblegum rock and did not recognize the artistry of their music. Through the years i have come to appreciate their music and recognize its artistry. I consider the Moody Blues and their music as uniquely one of a kind and absolutely great.
In the top 3 of my favorite Moody Blues songs. I always feel good after listening to this song.
Just the most gorgeous of songs, back in the day an archetypal Moodies track, I’ve always loved it. A beautiful arrangment and performance, so many decades later.
Thank you so much for sharing at this time.
Time can stand still for a while in these musical moments.
Wow Justin, how awesome is it that you found the incredible Mike....and that Mike didn't take a heartbeat to know what a privilege it is to play with you!!!
One of my all time favorite songs. Beautiful performance.
One of my favorites. Makes me remember listening it as a teenager, and how it helped give me hope for a world of more beauty and wonder than I had known. These songs are transporting.
Thank you to Justin for the song, and the story. 🦢
Tuesdays with Justin always seems to brighten everyones day and brings back wonderful and not so wonderful memories. But it's the music that helps us through all these times, to sit back and reflect and be thankful that the words to these songs have made us alive.
Chris Strange Yes 💜
@@mbjasniewski Three and a half hours to go for the next live stream. WooHoo!!!!!!
These songs are older than his bandmates. I love it. Brings me back to my high school days.
We had only 3 albums in Vietnam. When there were brief respites from the madness,
DOFP was my go-to music. The music of the MB’s was integral to my forced
transition from boy to man and has remained so throughout my life. I own all
of it and have seen them in concert so many times, I lost track. Three are
etched in my memory though. I
saw them in Oklahoma and for the first time heard “Meanwhile” live. Such a great
song. Another was at Bass Hall in Ft. Worth. When the intro to “One More Time
to Live” was played I started to cry and my wife placed her hand on mine and
smiled. We love that song so much and had never heard
it live. The third time was the night Timothy Leary died. They were in Houston.
As much as I love the Moodies I have never cared for “Legend of a Mind” live.
It just lost something in the transition. Somehow, it seemed different that
night. RIP Ray and Graeme. Thank
you for the music. I plan on seeing Justin for the final time on May 14
in Dallas. I am taking my son with me again. We saw him the last time he was in
Dallas with Mike and Julie and it was such an enjoyable evening. Can’t wait
Another beautiful song by one of the greatest groups I have seen in my life.
I am SO very much enjoying these Tuesday afternoon sessions! The Moodies, with Justin Hayward, are one of my very top favorites of ALL time, from way back when (I'm 68 now). Bless you, Justin.
Justin! These Tuesday afternoons are great. I really look forward to 3 o'clock rolling around. The music from the Moody Blues and yours make for the perfect day even if it is pouring down rain. God bless you and your family and your musical family.
Charming. One of his many classics that doesn't get much mention as there's been so many.
When this was released, psychedelics and flutes. I still love hearing flutes.
THEIR LYRICS ARE ABOUT MY JOURNEY....🙏👽😇💗🤗💝
Thank you...You have...you just don't know it yet.. We are ALL in the wind, it is God's breath..
Freakin amazing.
Justin and fellow band members in the 60’s and 70’s producing music as young men that no…NONE of these kids in this day and time could or would never dream of producing.
Look at what we’ve become.
We were truly
blessed in those days.
Music sucks and movies suck.
Lord help us all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My beloved Mother loved Justin and the rest of the band so much (mostly Justin). I am grateful for the beauty and joy the Moody Blues have created for the world.
I wish there was a live performance of this in the 70s. I just watched this for the 30th time and just heard it a few days ago!
Best song from this entire concert. Should have done this one more back in the day.
Justin gets better all the time...beautiful
When u hear the Moody blues ; its story time in dream land
justin his voice is so dreamy
What a voice! And still handsome as ever! Saw you at Sun City, South Africa in 1995, fourth row from the front. Unforgettable! Thank you for still singing!
I START MOST EVERYDAY LISTENING TO THE MOODY'S...
🙏😇👽💖🤗🐦
Justin's voice is just remarkably clear
Definitely the high point of my Tuesday. Thank you Justin.
A very talented Lady on the flute, sounds so beautiful and sweet.
Life was great back then, poor, but your voice kept hope and joy in my heart. I'm so happy your are doing this series. 😀💖
Thank you for sharing the stories behind the songs we know and love so well, showing the organic songwriting process behind them. Also, another beautiful performance by that trio of wonderfully talented musicians you have supporting you.
Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs. Thank you Justin!
As much as I'd love to go back and relive 1969-70... well of course it's impossible. But I do pray that at the moment of my graduation and my life flashes before my eyes it slows down for those years, the best of my life.
''Lovely to see you again my friend '' Lovely indeed. from Texas
Absolutely fabulous ‼️ ♥️.. Muchly thanks all of you!!
Most artists are lucky to write one great song. But all of yours? How? More than luck. Your voice is getting even better now. You and Mike Pinder, I feel will always be true soul, blues brothers. So amazing. What ever you took in 67 is still working, and hasn't worn off. I want to join the London Festival Orchestra and play, The Things Seven Minutes From Heaven.
Such a beautiful tune. Your lyrics and melodies have transported me to magical places since my older brother let me listen to his copy of To Our Children's Children's Children 50 years ago. Thank you
Justíñ at 20,30,60, or 70 it's Just Justin. In my salute to Justin which im working on now, i intend to articulate many of the things he does musically that makes his melodies ear candy. I hate to sound like a teacher but I'm a teacher so you can always learn something and if someone can articulate it in a different way sometimes it's much easier to comprehend. Dàwning is beautíful! I always hear, the phrase, "Dàwning is the Day" . Even not in a musical setting. Cleaning my car."Dàwning is the Day"! Brushing my teeth, "Dawning is the Day!" If you let it progress, 4 or 5 different melodies, stop one, start another, qúick change, new one, everyone gorgeous! All done on Hís wonderful break in his voice, but he can break his voice almost seamlessly, which makes the ear perk up want more. "Listen we're trying to find you!" He breaks his voice On EACH word. The break is emotional to the ear. When you hear that sung, his placement and taste how he breaks it, your ear can't forget it. Turn the music off, sing it in your mind. Each word is an emotional heart felt plea! It sings perfectly I your tonal memory. That flip of the glottis, is what struck me when I first saw Justin the most. On record i never once heard a "Country twang" but it is country twang but not exagerated. Smoothely to one f his lower regester voice he uses when singing a verse. Classical tenors will flip the voice moving from chest to head voice, but purposely loud, like your shifting gears. I go on and can go on hours when I discuss Justin. So many of his beautifully crafted melodies play in my mind on a loop. This song is one of them. What he hears on a chord he is striking, is unlike anyone. Harmonics, overtones sympathetic vibrations, creating other clusters of sound, I'd say I almost weep, I weep all the time when I hear Justin, who am I kidding!
I've listened to the studio version of this song a thousand times and I could listen to it another thousand...quintessential Moody Blues!!
The garage band I was in during the late 60's played this song, sans mellotron, shortly after it came out. Even without the mellotron, it was
a crowd favorite.
I bet this is from A Question of Balance, came out around 1970, before i saw them at Stanford U., winter time. Justin's seems to be enjoying his second act. i can't think of anyone more deserving. That string of albums in the 60's I have been playing lately, four in a row!! Starting with In Search of the Lost Chord.
I had to think about that. For some reason thought it was earlier.
Normally when one Moodies' track ends in my head the next one starts, but can't place which track follows "Dawning is the Day"
I'm just going to have to punish myself by listening to the whole album! lol
Last song on album from Question of Balance..
@@walrus4046 Melancholy Man
Awesome, as always, Justin!!! And those young musicians are very good...
Thank You Justin for such wonderful music. Love this song. Brings back good memories.❤️
The flute in this song is lovely, it gives me goosebumps every time! And I wish we had more Moody Blues songs with the sitar in it... Justin always knew how to enrich their work 💙
Wonderful performance! Such a smooth, precious voice.
Virtual hugs from Brazil!
A true testament to artistic endeavour and talent. Stripped down it still resounds.
Hearing the four of them together is like being in heaven. Amazingly beautiful! Sadly, you just don't hear songs like this in today's music market.
One of the most spiritually arousing and inspiring songs the Moodies ever offered us. Pivotal when I first heard it; my soul seemed to cry inwards and out!
I have been watching a lot of Moody Blues and Justin Hayward videos lately. And I think that Justin may belong in the pantheon of singer songwriters. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, John Prine, David Crosby, Steven Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young, and Justin Hayward.
OUR MOST BEAUTIFUL & MAGICAL MUSICAL INTERPRETATION OF LIFE...THANK YOU JUSTIN !!!
Please don't stop!
The Moody Blues are still my all time favorite group, your music touches my soul, your song "New Horizons" is never far from my mind, I find myself humming and singing it at the oddest times. I regret that I've never seen you perform live, it's sad that we grow old, but I've got a feeling that I'll meet you one day in a place where we don't get any older.
Yes...the Land Of Make Believe....fly little bird up into the clear blue sky. 🎶🙏
Lovely, well said, right there with you! Someday!
Best song ever written
Beautiful story about Mike.. and the history of Dawning Is The Day.
Lovely to hear this song again. Superb version.
Brings back great memories for me from the early 70s. Would go back there this very minute if i could. The Moodies where and still are timeless.
