To My Favourite Moody Blue, I Will Miss You So Much
May You Rest In Peace
Here Are The Lyrics:
A simple man had the strangest dream
He stood in a garden of flowers
That overlooked the sea
And there sailing by
Were his truth and his lies going home
While all around the sweetest sounds
Filled the air with love
They made his senses pound
He saw with open mind
His life turn with the tide to go home
Memories of youth had passed before
He and he alone could count the score
For he was free he was free
This was his last dream
Such melodies are made to sing
The mellow sounds within a thousand violins
Caught upon the breeze
They play in harmony sweet harmony
At last he knew his act was through
With no applause and no encores
Though the house was full
So bring the curtain down
Lay him in the ground
For he's gone home
Memories of youth had passed before
He and he alone could count the score
Now he is free he is free
This was his last dream
Note This Was For Entertainment And That None Of It Is Mine!
I really loved Ray Thomas...his voice is beautiful..I was so sad when he passed away..and now Graeme has too.....The Moody Blues music still makes me feel good..brings back my youth from the 60s....I can listen to their music everyday and not get tired of it...so very sad they are both gone...fans like myself love and will miss them...rest in peace Ray and Graeme...I love you guys
Just beautiful r l p
And sadly pinder has passed as well may they all RIp
The more I listen to this song, the less I am afraid of death.
You may be gone off this physical earth but you live on in our hearts, minds and soul. Your magnificent voice is timeless and we all thank you for your magnificent voice, talent and music. RIP Ray and thanks for giving us so much of yourself.
When my time to leave this physical earth comes.... I hope I run into him there, so I can thank him personally for all the years of beautiful music. Thank you.
All those...songs...make me......cry
I'm waiting for a friend to...play...with...
Nice
An essential voice of the Moody blues, I always loved his voice in particular, but loved all their music. For 52 years I have listened to them, always finding new elements in the mix. I've seen them only twice live, once with Ray and once after Ray retired with Norda Mullen. She fills the role with the flute and adds a new dimension with her voice, but sadly we'll never hear Ray sing "For my lady".
Such a beautiful song, magic voice .. perfect. Thanks for making this tribute Classic Corsair, some wonderful images. Thank you Ray for making my life what it is, you have played a big part in who I am. RIP you lovely man.
Have you heard the quad mixes of his songs? Check Shanks Steinberg.
Hail to Ray Thomas and The Moody Blues!
🎸🎸🎹🥁🎷🎤🎼
Ray, when you sang, the WORLD listened, you were missed at every concert I attended, and now your Spirit/Soul
has moved on to "THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE" and my life will be "FOREVER AUTUMN", "cause your not here"
The Guys are Great, I love um all, it's just not the same ! RIP Brother 💞
I've been a huge Moodys fan since the early 70s, but I've never heard this. I'm in tears, it is so beautiful. Thank you.
great song ,,,i bought this as well as all their solo albums when they came out ....my favorite from this album..R.I.P. ray,,,,
I always loved Ray Thomas and his contributions as a founding member of the Moody Blues. I liked all those guys.
This group kept me sane in Korea 1968-1970
not my choice, to be there, but so go's the world.

Ray's voice was incredibly beautiful.
The best in the band
He had the best voice in the MB.I'd like ask Pinder how Denny Lane got the job over Ray. Especially when u hear the El riot stuff he sounded a little like Elvis.
Ray Thomas, like all the Moodies, was an old soul with a spiritual side that informed his compositions and made him a rare talent that didn't seek out the limelight or the excesses of rock stardom. I truly thought that he had the best natural voice of any of the band members -- which is saying a lot because Justin Hayward has a similar tone and was the most recognizable voice in the group.
I agree with your assessment of the quality of his voice and I think so naturally mellowed and aged. Cindy
@@cindysmale9290 Yes! I heard his rendition of "Eternity Road" during a solo performance in San Diego some years ago, and OMG it was just spot on - even more mature than his younger days, which were already good.
Beautiful song and touching video. Grew up with The Moody Blues. And will miss Ray Thomas special contribution to a specia kind of music. Thanks for posting.
A fitting tribute song. Sounds like the group even though it isn't. In my opinion his last brilliant song. Up there with legend, eternity, tide rushes in and for my lady.
I have never heard this one. The Moody Blues had one hell of a ride.
I'm sorry for...our loss
WASN'T HIS LAST DREAM.....JUST THE BEGINNING......🙏😇💖
I saw Ray twice with The Moody Blues in the '80s .
He introduced a lot of the songs and was a very
funny guy . Great musician , singer and songwriter .
Excellent post for a brilliant man who traveled on the wind...
Great memories of MB at Capital Cardiff supporting C huck Berry. When Chuck appeared the lads from the valleys tried to get on the stage.MBs grabbed mike stands and repelled the horde - especially Ray.
Moody Blues/Ray Thomas...my all time favorite.
And he was a coarse angler too! Icing on the cake.
this man wrote songs even tho he could not read music or even play chords...R.I.P. ....
Ray Thomas ''The Great'' The Moody Blues
I have missed Ray for years, since he was not on tours .
Thank the stars we have his voice and flute in recordings.
My eyes are leaking again - -- -
I will miss you always. I will always remember your gentle nature of a great man and musician. A great singer, flutist, and a great love for your leadership and enjoying so much of all that you did in your life of making others happy with your beautiful music, your great leadership. May you rest in eternal peace Ray.
Moody Blues
Transcendent
I really didn't pay attention until my older years who wrote what.
Ray Thomas, great musician. A great songwriter. He still lives in my head and my heart.
One of a kind - one of the greatest bands of their era.
OMG that undeniable voice!!!! You changed my life, and I willnever ever stop missing and loving you Ray!!!!! XOXOXO
Thank you Ray travel your eternity road in peace
I've always thought he looked more like a college professor than a musician and singer, but I was always a fan of his
Happy Birthday in Heaven Ray...we miss you..now the Angel's and those who have gone on to be with our God have you singing in the Heavenly choir and playing your flute..hope to join you someday..😇
Ray had a voice like a cup of warm cocoa.....warm, comforting, satisfying and rich with the excitement of marshmellows on top. Never disappointing and makes you look for ward to the next occasion to treat yourself. God Bless and play on in heaven's band......in between fishing that is.
Quite the most loveliest 'finger clicker' that ever roamed the planet. Nice one!
How could anyone not like this?
This is an absolutely perfect tribute...thank YOU!!!
I love his music and moody blues
Wonderful...thanks so much for honoring this great man.
I miss that beautifulvoice and his flute so much...and when was this song written???
@@bettymurphy938 the song was written in 1976.
Such a beautiful voice and wonderful flautist.......Thank you Ray xx
I showed his daughter's this video. It's beautiful thank you...
I wish Ray could have been there for the R&R HOF induction with the rest. He wrote several MB songs that are favorites of mine. Sweet voice, great ear for melody.
Loved the Moody Blues ... transports me happily back to the early 70's when I was a very young teen .... my first boyfriend introduced me to them.
RIP my old friend - It was a wonderful journey through your mind!
Truly beautiful. Thank you for your many talents Mr. Thomas. You will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.....he was the love of my life and still is.
Walk into the light following the eternity road...thanks for all the music filling our for the last fifty years...
Sorry, I am in tears. Beautiful selection!
This is a beautiful tribute to Ray. And Ray was a gift to us who loved his music and his smile.
I like Ray even better now I know he was a fellow angler.
R.I.P. and Tight Lines!
Sad, beautiful, and self-musing I think. Thank you Ray Thomas, your melodious flute, wise appearing and handsome face, and exceptional lyrics are much appreciated. May God rest you in His Peace. Cindy USA
what a beautiful voice
Such a great man.. Truly devasting news that he passed
The man, the myth, the legend. R.I.P.
Once a Moody always a Moody ! Ray , The Day We Meet Again on the other side. R. I. P.
Thank you so much for this lovely tribute.
What have I been missing out on...must get his CDs... Lee Thomas you were so lucky to have had him with you...unlike mine only imagination....such a lovely tribute to the man. who was an essential part of the Moodies...God rest his soul.
A wonderful tribute! God bless Ray Thomas, may he rest in peace🙏💖💔
Ray was so underrated but his music with the Moody`s was so up there with the one i will never forget is "For my lady" and "Legend of a mind-Timothy Leary", he will never be forgotten with the greats, the Cosmic Rocker lives in heaven now!
NO.....RAY WAS NEVER UNDERRATED 🙏😇💖
As I get older, I miss Ray's music more than ever and have been delighted to discover this song like his unfinished work "The Dreamer " especially with the new accompaniment, but his others like Eternity Road, Under Moonshine, Sorry ( written by Graeme but sung by Ray) and For My Lady take on new meaning.
Good comments. Ray wrote Sorry. Grame wrote Going Nowhere for Ray to sing.
merci RAY !! pour tous ta voix !tes mélodies ! thank you !
Thank you. So beautiful. Many tears.
Thanks Ray! You made my days better. R.I.P
Very well done on the video. Beautiful song. RIP Ray
