Been binge watching you all night. It pleases me to see a young gentleman like yourself enjoy music I grew up to.
I have been as well. This youngster is going places. He’ll own a record company one day.
this gramma too
He’s great! He knows great music when he hears it!!!
I have been binge watching him in my spare time, too!
I've been doing the same. Just found this channel the other day. I like knowing young people are into these 60's and 70's rock bands.
I think this song is about the wonder of an ordinary day, if we'd only have the eyes to see it....
Justin Hayward has his own YT channel plays old Moodies with a story prelude, said he wrote this one in a park with his dog who was named Tuesday. I'd link it but it's hard to listen to he doesn't have the voice for this song anymore.
I am so amazed when I see young people listening to this music for the first time. I take it for granted that everybody has heard it.
This album is one of the greatest (concept) albums of the 60’s. Still sounds as good today.
They guys are senior citizens now and still going strong. They performed this album in its entirety for the 50th anniversary of its release, complete with an orchestra backing them.
PINDER left the band in 1978..RAY died last year..there are 3 of the 5 left calling themselves THE MOODY BLUES
@@joebloggs4754 which they have every right to. They are the remnants of the MB. I've seen both Justin and John solo and they both are fantastic. I LOVE Justin - what girl wouldn't. And you'll like to hear that Ray was remembered by John since it hadn't been that long since his BEST friend died. It was very lovely. He did Legend of a Mind. It wasn't the same with out Ray, but he did a great dedication.
The greatest band , composers, and writers of all times .truly a blessing from above .seen them , many many times .. Hall of Fame was the last time..sat right in front of them..
I am appreciative of someone your age listening, appreciating, and sharing beautiful music of a different generation.
Love the Moody Blues. Have seen them live many times over the years. Their concerts are legendary and they sound as good live as they do on record. Great reaction Daniel.
i have never seen them live, that would be something
I saw them in concert. When they did Nights In White Satin the whole audience sang the chorus. I had goosebumps on top of goosebumps and a lump in my throat I couldn't swallow.
When this song is played (on radio, etc.) the last section (when they start singing about evening) is usually omitted. Here it's basically two songs on one track.
I was young and handsome when I use to listen to this. Now I'm just handsome.
It is not an organ - mellotron.😢
Justin Hayward has a great voice. They performed Nights In White Satin at their rock and roll hall of fame induction in 2018 and he’s one of the few lead singers that can still hit those high notes.
Yes I saw him November 2019 in a San Diego club and he sounded perfect!
@@Jonni1027 I saw him the first night of that tour in Plymouth, NH and his voice was incredible. I have been in love with him, since I heard him sing Forever Autumn, which he nails in concert. Just an incredibly underrated guitarist though.
@@LirienNieve That was pretty much my experience seeing him. Beautiful! And yes he’s definitely a great guitarist ❤️
The “organ” sounds you hear are actually made by a Mellotron played by Mike Pinder...
Mike is the master at the mellotron. The way he played it generates a lot of emotion and feelings.
@@htwrk2 The Mellotron is such a cool instrument. TMB heavily used it in their 60's stuff.
Mike was one of the Mellotron pioneers, he actually worked for the Bradley brothers (manufacturer’s of the Mellotron) for about 18 months.
Mike also played a b3 organ
I believe what’s so important to me, is watching these young people sit in wonderment at the music we all knew was utterly amazing. But, also realizing the magnificent music of this era will live on and bring some commonality for the old and young, as we enjoy it from different perspectives on life.
The Moody Blues will be one of the greatest gifts you'll ever receive in a lifetime. A masterpiece of perfection & tranquility to the soul. 😊
This song is a masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
Justin Hayward was the singer. Wonderful voice. And the songs he wrote are my favorites.
It’s so pleasing to see so many positive comments about the Mellotron. The Moody Blues used it extensively on their albums. Great reaction and I appreciate that you played the entire song, the radio would chop the Moodies songs mercilessly.
The Mellotron is the mellow BOMB, man - Love it!
tarkushead yes. If you have a Mellotron and a fog machine you’re halfway there.
My older brother introduced me to Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, Cream. He’s 7 years older, we were listening to two different decades.
I think my heart rate dropped 20 beats listening to this 💙
You have heard one of my favorite Moody Blues classics but believe me there are many more still to come. I’m 69 years old and I was younger than your current age when I first heard the Moody Blues and of course many other great bands of the era. I’m still listening and enjoying them to this day. Hope you do the same.
In addition to those great groups of the sixties and seventies I hope you do more Nightwish, specifically Nightwish with Floor Jansen as lead vocalist. I discovered them a couple of months ago on YT and I can’t get enough of them. I think they are incredible.
Really like your channel.
This song was introduced to me on a first date. I never heard of it before that. It was so different from any sound that I was used to hearing on the radio that for me the album and this person are always remembered as otherworldly.
Thanks for taking me back.
It's cool to see your appreciation for my favorite group. They were WAY ahead of their time. The Moody Blues even used to be opening act for the Beatles.
Was hoping you would get to this today - this song is really good. I always loved the vocals. And the anticipation for the last song is building!
The best part to me is watching you react to this tune. I was 17 when it was released and had almost the exact same reaction. These men are geniuses.
The "organ" you mention is indeed a keyboard instrument. It is called a Mellotron and MB kind of pioneered it and many other bands used it. It was essentially a tape organ. You would set the type of instrument you wanted, strings, horns what have you. Press a key and it would play a recorded note from a tape from that instrument. Synthesizers came into vogue much later and so you don't see them anymore. It was a hallmark sound of 60's bands. EDIT: Michael Pinder was their keyboard player in the early days, wrote many of the lyrics. He left the band at some point, I believe it was at or just before Seventh Sojourn. At any rate, when they came back after a hiatus, he declined to rejoin. They've had a variety of keyboard players since then. They have lost a few members to death in the past few years. Justin Hayward continues to tour solo, and still sounds amazing. He has a brilliant young guitarist that he tours with now, by the name of Mike Dawes. Yes, I'm a MB geek..lol. I grew up with their music, have seen them live several times and never been disappointed. Nice to see your generation enjoying music from the soundtrack of many of our lives.
I absolutely agree with you about Mike Dawes!!! Check UA-cam for his rendition of Metallica's One. It is amazing. I also met him, he's a confident artist, great sense of humor, and feels very privileged to have been taken under Justin's wing. Justin has to be congratulated in seeing the talent in this young kid and cultivating it.
You say a ‘few members’ have died, I’m not sure who you’re thinking of but to date the only one of the classic line up to have passed away is Ray Thomas. The others, Justin Haywood, John Lodge, Graeme Edge and Mike Pinder are all still living.
@@cyclic8 My bad, I thought Graeme had passed away. I didn't include Pinder because he'll never return, sadly.
Once you've listened to every song on the album, sit down, put on your headphones, close your eyes and listen to the entire album in one sitting. They had seven albums in a row that were "themed" - and intended to be listened to in one sitting.
....with headphones, ideally..
Nice to see someone so young appreciating some of the classics.
Feeling nostalgic. My future husband and I would smoke a joint and listen to Days Of Future Past....where did the time go?
Keep smoking with the hubby LeAnn. Never too old to burn a spliff and listen to amazing music!
Up in smoke perhaps!
'Days of Future Past' and 'In Search of the Lost Chord' are masterpieces.
LOL - This tune just SOUNDS like a Tuesday afternoon - amazing!
My Mom's all time favorite band. I grew up with Moody playing on the HiFi from my play pen years and on.
The “cool” stations would play these two together.
I totally forgot about this other part. I don't really hear it played like anymore.
Sassymess mess yeah definitely don’t hear it anymore
The last station in Central Florida to play the entirety of this song which of course has two tracks was a station called Zeta 7. I think they went off the air in like 1980!
Ive just found your channel and really enjoy your reviews. Im 65 years old and it is great to see younger people appreciating the music of my youth. Keep up the good work.
As you are beginning to see, this album just breeds happiness!! As I mentioned when you listened to The Day Begins, I cannot help but smile when I hear this album! It just makes me feel good.
The actual song name isn't Tuesday Afternoon - the section of the day is called 'The Afternoon', of which the two songs are: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) & (Evening) Time To Get Away. The latter was originally unlisted on early pressings, but listed on later reissues.
The former was released as a single, so it got the name Tuesday Afternoon.
There are two tracks on the album that are actually two songs combined to one. this one, and The Sun Set / Twilight Time (another amazing duo) - got to listen to this one too!
My favorite Moody Blues song of all time, it never fails to transport me to another place and time with its incredibly lush sound and almost magical lyrics (well, magical to me anyway). Glad someone turned you on to the Moody Blues; they made some amazing music in their heyday.
Enjoying being on this ride for Days of Future Past forgot what a good album this was. Can't wait for the ending with Nights In White Satin.
It's "Days of Future Passed". (not "past")
MissAstorDancer important distinction.
@@MissAstorDancer Wow I can't believe I made such a major gaff. Especially when I have had this record in my collection for many years. I only use to play Tuesday Afternoon and Nights In White Satin. But this was such a treat rediscovering the rest of the album with fresh ears. Cheers🍸
@@midnightfury7267 What a classy response!!! Few people can accept being corrected with such grace!!!
I take my "role" as the "English Police" way too seriously! Too bad I didn't have what it took to go to college. I could have been a pretty good English teacher!
I am also having fun experiencing this album (and others) anew! I was only 14 going on 15 when this album came out, and didn't really "discover" it until 1972, when someone I cared about shared it with me. I became a hopeless Moodies fan from then on, discovering their back catalog and anticipating each new release!
Oh, and please forgive me, cause I can't help it.............
It's "gaffe".
LOL! I am hopeless!
Blessings!
I have always felt this song is about transcendence, that is, finding yourself in a state of transcendence where the world completely opens up to you making even an ordinary day (like a Tuesday) magical, dreamlike and significant just of itself, with the natural world (trees and clouds) filling you with bliss, connection, and direction. I think we all can remember one day like this in our lives when everything around us suddenly seemed perfect, colorful and beautiful, and we were filled with a blissful feeling and longing to share the experience with others. I think this song captures such a feeling beautifully through Justin Hayward's lush vocal and the use of the mellotron, an instrument which produces a hauntingly beautiful psychedelic sound, like a far off memory or something heard long ago in a dream.
Daniel, this album "Days of Future Passed" by the Moodies, "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" by Pink Floyd are considered three of the greatest "Theme" albums of all time and their legacies on all future music afterwards has been and remains unbelievable. I do not know if we will ever have Albums created like this ever again.
Love the mellotron on this track. That's the keyboard that sounds like strings. (As opposed to the orchestral strings.) I also have to disagree with the comments that the last song is the best song. Imo, Tuesday Afternoon is the best track on this album. But your mileage may vary.
"Tuesday Afternoon" was the first Moody Blues song I ever heard, or so I thought at the time. Probably ten years later I heard "Go Now" and remembered it. Vaguely remembered, because I was six, and The Beatles, The Beach Boys and everything Motown pretty much dominated my musical awareness. That was music that matched AM radio perfectly, while FM radio became the format for longer and more experimental music (which led directly to the rise of Progressive Rock). "Tuesday Afternoon" was a rarity in that it was played on both formats, although the single version edited for AM faded out before the orchestra came in.
Something that probably hasn't occurred to you, because, why would it? Although 'Days Of Future Passed' was conceived as a continuous piece of music, in its original release it couldn't be enjoyed that way due to technological limitations. This was originally a vinyl album, as indeed was everything else in 1967. The whole piece couldn't fit on one side of the album, so it needed a break about halfway through, to enable the listener to turn over the record. In this case, that break comes between "The Lunch Hour" and "The Afternoon", so you are effectively starting side two. I look forward to seeing your enjoyment of the rest of the album.
Hey, you're doing a really good job. I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but you are, and I always look forward to seeing your reactions and analyses of the music that helped make the me of your age and younger into the me that I am at my age. Thank you, you're doing my heart a lot more good than bacon ever did.
AND your avatar is one of another AMAZING band who never gets the credit they deserve. I imagine by now you have heard The Symbol Remains? if Not, WHY NOT? It is a very strong come back album, getting fantastic reviews and selling well. Thank goodness. I LOVE BOC. I have the distinction of being pulled out of my seat and kissed by Buck on the cheek. I think it's because he had seen me at so many show's. You'll be jealous, I've seen them 13 times and met everyone -yes Rick Downey too, except The Appices, Rudy and Kazim. I went backstage at Merriwether Post Pavilion and met Buck (again) Sandy his wife and Bobby Rondinelli. Allen Lanier was a true gentleman. Eric is aloof in person, but we were emailing for awhile and he was ok, don't know what made him so reserved. I also have a picture of the governor of NH Chris Sunnu playing the cowbell offstage!!! I met the Bouchards with Dennis Dunaway at The Tupelo in Londonderry, NH after their Blue Coupe set. And was it fantastic go ahead ask me was it??? YOU BETCHA. And they were so cute being so short. Dennis towers over them. I had asked Neil Smith about recording Reaper with the Cooper Group, would Buck allow it? He said, "he'd better, or I'll kick his runt ass!" All in good fun. I think. And of course there's Buck... ahhhhh. So cute back when.
Love your reactions! You’re so thoughtful. Very refreshing! 👍😊🌸
I have to smile....you had the same expression on your face as I must have as a 19 year old listening to this for the first time on headphones when it came out....enjoy! And rock on...........
just wait until you go thru the next 6 albums of the Moodies, known as the core 7. you will be taken on a journey of music and lyrics that will definitely make you think
It really is Tuesday Afternoon! February 15, 2022. That's awesome. 👍🎶🎶🎶☀️☀️😎
I have been lucky enough to see them in concert 3 times. They are just as amazing in person.
Love this song. Saw them twice, once with the Elgin Symphony Orchestra in Poplar Creek in Illinois. Great concert.
I believe there's some UA-cam videos of them playing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
I've seen them 5-6 times, not sure. And both Justin and John solo. GREAT SHOWS.
@@LirienNieve cool
My current go-to song to relax on a drive!
Just wait until night time - 11 minutes - Nights in White Satin - marvelous orchestration! Enjoy the description of the moon at the end !
There is no orchestration in the song itself.
My personal picks for Moody Blues:
-I´m just a singer in a rock´n roll band
-Nights in white satin
-For my lady
-The story in your eyes
-The other side of life
-Ride my see-saw
-I know you´re out there somewhere
Best to look for album versions. Music videos are old and audio is shit.
For my lady was Ray Thomas at his best
I forgot about the last 2 songs on your list.
Question is one of their best songs
@@tonymilnes396 ab so fing lutely. I LOVE that song. He had a great voice as well, but when you have someone like Justin around it is very hard to compete.
Nice video and beautiful song. The Moody Blues were quite prominent on progressive rock radio, especially in the early days of FM radio and as the 70s hit and FM was well on its way to being the dominant force it would become.
ELP, Moody Blues, Clapton, Lightfoot. All in one night. Wow.
Best lineup yet for a single session. Good job, Daniel. You're in the major leagues now.
@@j.m.5917 And I forgot The Doobie Brothers!
The second song about the evening is written and sung by bassist ( and a number of instruments) John Lodge. Mike Pinder on mellotron also composes and sings, as does Ray Thomas on Flute. They are truly very special.
I came to adulthood listening to this song, album, and other albums by the band. In fact, in my first marriage, in the mid-70s, we named our firstborn son "Justin," after Justin Hayward, the lead singer. Too bad the marriage was a disaster. However, Justin is now 45 years old.
Life has much in store for you, my friend. You won't like all of it, that's for sure. But persevere. Don't lose yourself.
Thank you for reviewing this amazing album. I'm so glad you are enjoying it. My generation grew up with this album, I've heard it hundreds of times and it is as fresh, alive and beautiful to me as it was the first time.
I've been listening to the Moody Blues for...50 years or more... They still sound as awesome today as they did back then.
"He's got a really good voice." Justin's voice is unique. I dare you to find another singer that sounds like him. His sound will be sorely missed once he's gone.
I love Justin Heyward's singing voice on Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds , combined with Sir Richard Burton narration, especially forever autumn and really all of side 1
I first heard Tuesday Afternoon on the radio, when I was probably about 7 or 8 years old, about 45 years ago.
My favorite vocal performance by Justin is from Jeff Wayne's War of the World's concept CD/Movie. The song is called Forever Autumn and it's both a sad and a beautiful song. He performed it for Jeff's concept album in the 70s and came back decades later to perform it live for the anniversary concert.
you bet he did, ahhhhhh. so in love with Justin.
Such an amazing concert. I still listen to the original audio version all the time!
The CD track you're listening to is in fact two songs: "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Evening (Time to Get Away)." "Tuesday Afternoon" was written by Justin Hayward when he basically sat in a field and let it flow out of him. "Evening" was by John Lodge. I'm glad that you're listening to the 1967 mix. When the album was remixed in the 1970s, the backing vocals of the song's bridge went missing. It wasn't until 2017 when the vocals were restored.
As others have stated, "Tuesday Afternoon" prominently showcases the Mellotron. Popular in the late 60s to late 70s, it's effectively an analogue sampler. Each key triggers an 8 second tape loop to play. It is capable of recreating the sounds of horns, strings, flutes, choirs, or many more (including organ). It all depends on what tapes you load in it. The band's keyboardist, Mike Pinder, used to work for Streetly Electonics (where it was manufactured) as a tester. In fact, he introduced the instrument to the Beatles, which you can hear at the beginning of "Strawberry Fields." Other artists who used the Mellotron include King Crimson, Genesis (the Peter Gabriel years), Rick Wakeman, and Tangerine Dream.
The next "track" on the album will also feature two songs together. Days of Future Passed is a bit of an odd animal in terms of track listing. The band didn't have creative control at the time, so it was the record company that cooked up the album title and how the songs were listed. That's why this track has the odd title, "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)." As far as Justin was concerned, it was always "Tuesday Afternoon." After this album sold very well, the band finally received creative control of their albums, and even created their own label in 1969, Threshold Records.
Young Justin Hayward rocked the puffy shirt back in the day - in addition to having a gorgeous voice, he was big-time eye candy (especially with the puffy shirts).
it's a mellotron
Great reaction to a masterpiece of a song!
I love your genuine reactions. This music is such an important part of our history, my history! I am overjoyed to witness you hearing it for the first time. Thank you!!!
Great to see a youngster really listen to an album and grasp the main points that the band is putting across it took me 2 years to full understand this album but in my defence I was only 13 at the time. One of the big clues to this album is the title Days of Future Passed That the days of your future will be the same as the days of your past like an ever turning wheel.The trees talking is a metaphor for the subconscious telling him something is wrong that the life he is living is a construct that he needs to break away from. As to the music the instrument that you thought was an organ is infact a Mellotron played by Mike Pinder and used across all the albums upto Octave. Graeme Edge Drums on Tuesday Afternoon is a masterpice of subtle playing and if you have ever see Graeme play live You'll know that the rest of the band must of had to use physical restaints on him to record this track.
Moody Blues first seven albums are complete classics. Pick a tune, any tune, from any one of them and enjoy the ride.
They made seven albums, starting with Days of Future Passed, in about a five year span. Each one is a classic of prog rock. Hayward one of the best voices out there.
Which is why I cannot understand how Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone) could allow other lesser bands into the RRHOF without first inducting the TMB!!!! I guess they didn't give good copy by not wrecking hotels, knocking up girls, oding in buses, driving Rolls Royces into swimming pools, etc. The RRHOF is a joke actually, I mean the reason for the thing is baked right into the name ROCK N ROLL and yet, hip hop and rap are in?!?!?!
They made far more than 7 albums , but the first seven are described as the 'core seven' or best - and I would agree.
Back in the late 1990s I think it was, the Moody Blues began to perform songs from this album accompanied by live orchestras from the towns they were touring in when they were on tour in the US. They did a video (I don't remember if this was ever converted to DVD) of this when they played at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver CO & it was magnificent. There were a lot of "behind the scenes" footage as well as the whole concert in this video. I really enjoyed watching it. I fell in love with the Moody Blues with their "On the Threshold of a Dream" album in 1969 & then discovered their earlier albums after that, which of course included the "Days of Future Passed" concept album. They FINALLY got inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in August of 2018 & that honor was long over due. I've seen them in concert & they are just class all the way. I loved how they would encourage the audience to take all the photos & video they wanted to take during the concert, which would be in direct opposition to what the venue would state before the concert started. I love it when bands do that.
I first heard the Moody Blues in 1965 ,I was 14 and the song that really brings back those days is "Go Now" and it was at a sock hop I first heard it . Thank You for the reaction
This is actually two separate songs combined into one track titled "The Afternoon". The first song is called "Forever Afternoon: Tuesday?" But is better known as "Tuesday Afternoon" thanks to the single version that only includes the first part of this song. The second song is called "Time to Get Away". Love this whole track, especially this mix.
Yeah, you ran 2 songs there...there are no tracks on this album, only segues.
That being said, make sure that when you get to "Nights in White Satin", listen all the way thru to the end of the album. The ending is the dopest part.
The following cut, "Twilight Time" is a short one, but it does provide a good contrast to the previous songs as well as a bridge into the masterpiece finale.
At this point, you might consider going straight thru to the end of the album...I can dig up a decent YT link(s) for you when I have some proper digging time...say 24hrs?
Justin Hayward and John Lodge compliment each other vocally the way Lennon/McCartney and Anderson/Squire do.
They've alway's been one of my favorite bands. I saw them a few times years ago..Just great!..There is an album I wish more people would check out..It's called "Blue Jays", and it was done by Justin Hayward (guitarist/Writer/Lead singer) and John Lodge (bassist/Writer/Singer.) When the blues were on hiatus for a few years, back in the early 70's, Justin & John (Get it?..Blue Jays?) did the album..To this day it is still one of my favorite albums..Back then the MB purists kind of didn't pay it much mind, but it has since been very highly regarded..Please react to it!..Such a beautiful album...You won't be sorry. I promise.
I second this..
The Bluejays is a fantastic listen..
I agree with you. Blue Jays should have been better marketed, it is an exceptional gem that isn't given any credit. Their shared harmonies are absolutely fantastic Which song is your favorite or is too hard to pick?
@@LirienNieve It really is too hard to pick.."Who Are You Now" holds a special place for me, because it reminds me of a past love of mine, but the whole album is amazing..."Maybe" is beautiful. "You", and "My Brother" are also right there..Like I said..Too hard.
@@sjd5750 I totally agree with you. It's a shame it wasn't more successful, but it makes it just much more special for those of us in the 'know'.
This song has always given me chills. Today it makes me want to cry thinking of years gone by.
"Nights In White Satin", "Question", "The Voice", "Wildest Dreams" + a dozen more!
Just imagine that JH wrote these incredible lyricists when he was 22.
My fav Moodies song.
Justin Hayward's dog was named Tuesday & he wrote this when in a field with Tuesday smoking a joint; This so reminds me of '67 when a friend would drop by, I'd put on him/her the headphones and say "You got to listen to this " I've seen the Moodies over 100x and had the pleasurer of promoting a Moody Blues concert in 2005
justin hayward has a great voice - this album was in everyone's collection in the day including mine . what i really loved about the moodies was that in a lot of their songs they were like 2 or 3 songs in one with the changeups. one of THE most prolific bands ever with a HUGE catalog
I am so glad you are grooving on the Moody Blues! I adore so many artists, but the ones who always touch me are the MB's...prog rock in its infancy!
This song looks forward to many of the great classics The Moody Blues did in the following years, haunting and melodic.
Justin has a super voice. Search the way he came to the new Moodies in 1966 after Denny Lane left the original band from 1964. Finding Justin was a cute story of luck for the band!
First time watching you!! I think you, like me, enjoy rock but also that “big” sound orchestral instruments in music. Like this band, Moody Blues and ELO, and others that just aren’t coming to mind right now. Love, love, LOVE that BIG sound!! I don’t know how else to describe it other than big. I love that you enjoy that like me!! Isn’t it just the best listening to big sounds like that and hearing all the different instruments and sounds and how beautiful the melodies are??!! It’s so intoxicating!! Okay, enjoyed you and your video! ❤️💜💚
Welcome to the channel my fellow cyberspacian traveler, glad you enjoyed the video! Hope to see you around:)
Wonderful composition. Lots of good Moodies stuff out there. It doesn't matter to me chasing the clouds away. Edit: FYI they ran all their songs together no breaks in between, every album IIRC.
Moody Blues and King Crimson were the bands that brought the Mellotron into prominence - taking it in diametrically opposite directions.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this whole album. It's best on vinyl. makes me want to break it out & slap it on the turntable. I believe their next album was "In Search of A Lost Chord'. "The Actor" is my favorite on that one (another Justin Haywood beauty).
One of my favorite songs from the Moody Blues! I remember my father playing this album when I was a very very young child in the early 70's. Two good albums you might want to do are, To Our Children's Children's Children and On The Threshold Of A Dream. Ofc they are all excellent albums and you should try and listen to them. In Search Of The Lost Chord and Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, are also very good.
First time I heard this song was in the baby seat of my dad's car circa 1993, and I was born in 1990.
More Mellotron please! One of my all time favorite songs from the sixties. I wore a groove in my vinyl copy at this song’s beginning.
Ps, your rant reminds me of Cat Steven’s classic Father and Son.
Oh that is a great recommendation! I would love to have Daniel listen to Cat Stevens! --- No one ever reacts to him and there is a huge volume of music
Daniel the song Trouble is my favorite by Cat Stevens ua-cam.com/video/H1tRB7-aBr8/v-deo.html
If you watch this video Daniel dont read the comments---- it has a major spoiler about the movie Harold and Maude which is a must see movie for everyone--- LOVE that movie --- whole soundtrack is Cat Stevens
Can't wait for your reaction to "Nights in White Satin"!!
The album is actually a concept album and is best understood when you listen to the entire album. My group of friends was always excited when they dropped a new album.
"The smell of grass, just makes you pass into a dream." ----- Moody Blues.
We are going through the full album in order:)
I’ve seen The MB several times. We were in third row for the 50th anniversary concert and we saw Justin solo right Benitez the pandemic. They are of a rare breed 😀💙
What a great tune, despite my preference to faster and heavier this tune always had appeal to me. It just has a great feel to it! Something that really sounds good to me is the time change....one of the many reasons I like Iron Maiden, they do a lot of that. Wow, never heard this ending before, radio never played it, interesting! Never really got into the lyrics, always thought it was a song about some random afternoon. While Nights In White Satin was their iconic hit I always felt I'm Just A Singer In A Rock 'n' Roll Band was their best tune...that I heard anyway, never heard their entire library. Great reaction!
Definitely check out their albums. Wonderful music never got played on the radio.
You’re going to be fine, dude. You have the spirit. It all works out.........
I was 17 back in 1967 when this song was released &to this day, I still ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I'm 70 now! Ur on the right path! For another song with the mellotron (organ) sound, listen to the Beatles STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER.
I would say this is my second favorite song on the album. Nights in White Satin of course being my favorite but I think the whole album and the concept of this album is masterpiece!
If you like the Moody blues you have to listen to. Ride my Seesaw. Top 3 of their songs
Please do not stop reviewing Moody Blues songs until you've listened to my two favorites: *"The Land Of Make Believe"* and *"You And Me"* both of which are on the Seventh Sojourn album. Absolutely beautiful Moody Blues compositions....
The album stayed on my turntable for months at a time! This a masterpiece never to be duplicated!
Daniel, I am absolutely loving your full album reaction, to this masterpiece. Moody Blues - Days of Futures Passed. I have watched many many times. It becoming my new nightly ritual. The piano notes at the beginning Evening are unsettling to me. Sounds sinister. 🌚😈
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of a beautiful tuesday afternoon arriving in beautiful historic and enchanting downtown Mobile with me ex wife years ago. Some little moments just stick with you.
