      I don't want him to Rest In Peace. I'm not sure what his faith was, but I picture him in Heaven. Singing and playing music with Ray, Graeme, and my Big Brother, who was a Moody Blues Fan until the day he passed. Have fun guys. I hope to see you all soon.

    I was reading over the comments on this thread and it's so obvious that a lot of the people that are into the Moody blues are deep feeling, very sensitive, a lot of them are spiritually inclined, individuals! There is so much heart and emotion expressed in these comments! So many of us looked deeper into their lyrics, and not just the music! I got caught up in a heroin epidemic in NYC back around 1975, and I felt I was a prisoner that would never break free of my addiction. Throughout the 70's and 80's their music kept speaking to me and was a big source of comfort during those dark years of my life! They kept alive a yearning in my heart to be free of the addiction and to know a relationship with the God of my understanding! They gave me hope, and I believe God spoke to me through their music and lyrics, and helped me not to give up and that there was something in this world that was good, and worth living for! I finally achieved freedom from my addiction in 1989!

      +Allan Dinegar ~ Excellent post. Yes, I believe people who are into the Moody Blues are deep feeling, sensitive people. I have attended several Moody Blues concerts recently and can listen to their lyrics and music and it transports me back to a far different place. There is a song for practically every situation I find myself in. "I know you're out there somewhere" is one of my favorites as is "I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band". I can't understand why they have not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are one of the hardest working and most enduring bands out there. Good luck with your achievement. Congratulations on your hard work. My two grandsons were heroin addicts and they are working very hard at kicking the addiction. Both are back in rehab and one has 15 months of sobriety. I pray every day that they can beat this beast.

      Allan Dinegar~
      Congratulations on your recovery. Knowing of it gives me one more to add to the hundreds of thousands of reasons to be grateful to the Spirit (in the sky) that so many have given their own unique handle and billions have, and do, acknowledge as responsible for all we see and have yet to see; the one we see and hear in each other, when we look, if we listen; the one that is able to use the ordinary things we do, in our clumsy stumbling along life's paths, to reveal unto us that we are not the result of an "accident" nor are we here by happenstance.
      For me it is a most forceful revelation when presented through the songs written, played, and performed by this group; evidently, I'm not the only one. I graduated in the beginning of summer in '68 and by the end of January 1969, I had completed about one and 1/2 weeks of boot camp at MCRD in San Diego. (that's Marine Corps Recruit Depot)
      Amidst all the yelling, crying, screaming, violence, craziness, and chaos, their music was my anchor in the realm of normality, my reminder there WAS such a thing, and to it I often turned, seeking the restoration of some semblance of serenity, and tranquility.
      Through them, it was always delivered; and so was I. Coming here today started by accident, but once I had arrived, it seemed the prudent thing to try finding some of my favorites, which I managed. But I'm a bit dismayed that I've not found one which, it seems at least to me, wouldn't, or maybe shouldn't, be absent considering the depth of the universal application with which the thoughts conveyed by the lyrics in so much of this music is, by so many of us, associated.
      When I happened on the area provided for visitors to compose and leave comments, I thought first about just leaving an inquiry as to whether or not I had simply not looked in all the possible locations. But then I started reading comments others had made and when I read yours, it said that I would be making a mistake if I didn't say something and direct my remarks to you. Now! You have my congratulations and historical relationship with these gifted artists. Are you, or anyone else, able to tell me anything about the songs on the album entitled, "A Question of Balance"?
      Here's to you, and your continued recovery success. B L E S S I N G S ! !

      Good point. The 60's exploded with a lot of great and new upcoming bands and sounds. The 70's started to morph into new melodic genre's with the advent of the progressive rock movement with the popularity of the Mellotron sound. The 80's produced some great talent too. After that............garbage. Since you mentioned there's no songs like this these days, it's not Moody Blues, but there is hope for the younger generation. Here's Contra Bass performing Deep Purple's Burn. Holy Moly. These guys are just kids. ruclips.net/video/Lw6vsHuqoGw/видео.html

    This was my dad's favorite song. This year, in January, he lost his life due to suicide. 💔 He was living his life in the fast lane, with really big highs and lows.
    The mornings were his biggest struggle. I am grateful for this song. It makes me sad, the lyrics is very meaningful. It also gives me peace, the lyrics describes my dad's battle with depression. It brings me closer to my dad.
    If anyone is reading this who's struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts: you are important and you are loved❤ If this day feels impossible, talk with someone. The days will become lighter - the voice in your head is telling you lies. ❤

    In 1968 when I was eighteen I was in the US Navy on the Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise. I bought In Search of the Lost Chord at the ship's store for $1.50. I had a portable stereo set up behind my bunk. We were on a seven month cruise and I listened to that album nearly every night. It brought such peace to me under the circumstances. I know every word to every song on the album. Still when I hear the Moody Blues I am taken back to those days when I was on a warship in a combat zone but I was able to put on the Moody Blues and my headphones and be transported to an altogether different wo5.

I went cycling with him on the back of his bike, my arms around his waist, my hair blowing in the breeze and my face pressed to his white tee shirt which smelt of fresh soap. I felt moments of magic. We said we loved each other. Our parents broke us up and I was distraught. He was taken back to France and I never saw him again. This stunning song brings back bittersweet memories.
