The Day Begins & Dawn Is a Feeling (with Lyrics)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2015
- My interpretation of The Day Begins & Dawn, which comprise the first 4 tracks of The Moody Blues’ second Album, “Days of Future Passed”, released in November 1967.
In September of that year, The Moody Blues were asked by their record label to record an adaptation of Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 as a stereo demonstration record for a newly created division. Instead, the band chose to record an orchestral song cycle about a typical working day.
The album is cited as a precursor to progressive rock music.
Some critics remarks regarding the album include, the band "created an entire genre here." David Fricke cites it as one of the essential albums of 1967 and finds it "closer to high-art pomp than psychedelia. But there is a sharp pop discretion to the writing and a trippy romanticism in the mirroring effect of the strings and Mike Pinder's Mellotron." Will Hermes cites the album as an essential progressive rock record and views that its use of the Mellotron, a tape replay keyboard, made it a "signature" element of the genre. An influential work of the counterculture period, Allmusic editor Bruce Eder calls the album "one of the defining documents of the blossoming psychedelic era, and one of the most enduringly popular albums of its era."
The Moody Blues:
• Mike Pinder - mellotron, piano, tambura, vocals, (including spoken)
• Ray Thomas - flutes, percussion, vocals
• Justin Hayward - acoustic & electric guitars, piano, sitar, vocals
• John Lodge - bass, vocals

• Peter Knight - Conductor, arrangements
• The London Festival Orchestra

I Absolutely Love the Moody Blues..... I am 72 yrs old and their music means the world to me.....
"Brave Helios wake up your steeds bring the warmth the countryside needs"
The words of "Graeme Edge", who just passed away yesterday(11/12/21) at 80 years old. He will be hugely missed. He was the ONLY member who was in the band from its conception until its end....his passing BEING the cause of the band's very final end. Sad.
Wow! I am a Moody Blues fan since 1968, and have all there records. Later in my life I started filming, and this is exactly how I would have made this! So beautiful it almost made me cry! Thanks for making and sharing this.
To All of Nick's Subscribers. This is his life long friend, Ralph. Nick passed away suddenly 17 March 2017 while dancing with his companion at a dinner club. His soft voice and beautiful soul will be long missed, grieved and celebrated. Thank you all for subscribing. RW
So sorry for your loss, Ralph. He was fortunate to have a friend like you and a companion to help him enjoy his last moment on this earth. I start out each day watching this video.
Thank you for your kindness. Also, get up each day and watch several of his videos. Be well.
😢😘
It's a wonderous world and universe, thank you for the Moody Blues to add to that beauty.
Listening to this beginning though headphones or good speakers is great. It's beautiful. Adding this video makes it even more enjoyable.
This is a beautiful interpretation of a monument of classic rock
Fantastic video to accompany this musical masterpiece....Excellent!!!!
For Nick, in abstentia, thank you for your very kind words. As his lifelong friend, it has taken me this long to begin replying to comments on his videos since his passing last March. He absolutely loved the Moody's. We went to so many concerts. He never tripped... but who needs to trip at a 'Moody Blues Concert'
Be well. --Delcina
Very creative and stunning video!! It accompanies the beautiful music of the 'Moodies'
so very perfectly! Tk u for sharing...! ♥ 🌟 Greetings from a fan in Canada!
Someone just clued me in on this video, and....WOW....it's beautiful, and it's like hearing "Dawn Is A Feeling" for the very first time! Thank you, Nick!
BRILLIANT! Simply brilliant ~you captured the feeling, oh yes!
Thanks for your invitation via visions of paradise, also beautiful, all so beautiful!

Nick would have appreciated your sentiments... He loved the MBs.
Amazing video!!👀
Major accolades for this beautiful and poignant production! 👏
"The first to awaken are often disgraced long before they are embraced. Being awakened from a slumber is not always welcomed by those clinging to the final moments of sleep." - UnKnown

Yes!! .... Right on!!
Beautiful video.Thank you.
WOW!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜

“I have risen early today. Far in the distance, a faint glow paints the horizon. Dawn is coming, gently and full of prayer. I step quietly from my bed, alive to the silences around me. This is the quiet time, the time of innocence and soft thoughts, the childhood of the day.” ~ Kent Nerburn, "The Gift of the Dawn," Small Graces: The Quiet Gifts of Everyday Life, 1998

25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’

Brilliant video. The music of 'The Days of Future Passed' has always reminded me of the Mountains. This video is like how I see this album too.
Thanks for viewing and your comment. Glad to see you share my vision of the album. Stay well.
It's over...he's gone on...😢
Thank you so sincerely for going to such effort. Truly this is more accurate to the sentiment of the original concept than the dvd re constitution. The visuals here blow that out of the water. ❤much love to you ..chosen one. ❤
I wanted to make a video like this for this old favorite song of mine, now I do not have this. this is OUTSTANDING!!! wouldn't change a thing, loved it. Kudos Dude.
As Nick's lifelong friend I thank you for the kind words. They would mean so much to him. He loved the Moody's and probably saw them 20+ times. We even went out to Red Rocks in '92.
Comments like yours keep Nick alive in my heart. Thanks again, --Delcina
There are "No Trespassing" signs all over, beautiful. It's so that you'll stop crying . . . and now? . . . now you have a new song to sing about 'equity'.
Wow...😎
Great!
Awesome music! What better way to start the Moody Blues. Thanks for posting. :)
Jason Carpp They are the best. Thanks for watching.
Nick Mort You're welcome. I agree. :)
Great interpretation. Outstanding choice of graphics and well sequenced... tells the story in synchronicity with the lyrics and melody. Great Work!!
Ralph Emerson Thank you for your kind comment. You know how I feel about The Moodies. I think this piece speaks to your core transcendental beliefs. Stay well my friend.
Nick Mort The Core of my Transcendental Beliefs is a bit euphemistic. Dollars & Horsepower pretty much cover the central personal philosophical core. But a journey into personal interior plane as well as the astral plane is a good ride!!!
Ah, yes; "Thinking is the best way to travel."
Some of this would be better for Our Children's Children' Children's but excellent non the less
A little futuristic. Nick and I talked about his choice of images and graphics. He felt there was a cosmological sweep to this Moody's song and this is how he tried to capture that. It probably isn't for everyone. But knowing how he felt about the Moody Blues... he'd enjoy your comment. --Delcina
Moody Blues no seu esplendor...!
Very beautiful music and video ... that blessed my heart with wonderful feelings! Thanks so much for sharing your talents and your soul. Best wishes, with love from Canada, Evy (your video inspired me to subscribe)
+Evy Hannes Big smile from your heartfelt comment. I share your love of music and the Moody Blues never fail to lift my spirit in a way few other groups can. Thanks.
Thank you
Nick I have a huge request, I would love for you to do a video series on the entire Days of Future Passed album, with lyrics. Your Dawn is a Feeling video is so great, I think you would do fabulous work with the whole album.
I'm sorry to take so long to get back to you. This is Ralph, Nick's lifelong friend. Nick passed away two and a half years ago while dancing with his fiancé. It was a shocking and unexpected loss. Though I do not have access to his account... I try and answer appropriate messages. He and I went to see the MBs 5 times and he went to their concerts more than two dozen times. He was a musician, playing in coffee houses, but he loved the MBs more than any other performers. He had one more video completed and was just cleaning it up when he died. The video was Nights in White Satin. I'd looked at some of the preliminaries and it would have been his best content ever. Thank you for appreciating his creativity and his love for the Moody Blues... --Ralph
@@ralphemerson7805 Thank you SO much for your kind reply. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my son in 2010, so I understand the pain. If it is all right with you, I will share this information with the administrator of the Justin Hayward Facebook Fan page, Robyn Meryl Schwartz. There were many, many people hoping that Nick could do a video series on the whole of Days of Future Passed, because we loved what he did with Dawn is a Feeling so very much. This fan page is VERY discreet, and does not allow any personal information about Justin. Again, so sorry for your loss--it is certainly our loss, too. Jana
I am certain Nick would have been honored by your invitation... as such you have my blessing to talk with Ms. Schwartz. My personal email is ragnarook@hotmail.com if you wish to communicate privately. Ralph W. Emerson is my privacy driven nom de plume. I've always been surprised that Nick's MB videos did not go a bit more viral than 6-12 thousand views. He loved framing an imagistic interpretation of the journey of the lyrics and melody and it was great to sort of see the Moody's music through his mind's eye. It's a very different perspective to experience Visions of Paradise with just the music and stationary pictures of Justin v. watching Nick's version and watching the images. Be well and, if there is a heaven, your kindness has touched Nick's heart as it has touched mine --ejd
@@ralphemerson7805 There is a heaven, I am sure of that, because my son is there. It will be an honor and a joy to communicated with you privately. Jana Mayer is my nom de plume. Thank you so much for your heartfelt and timely response. Jana
I agree!
Very nice... captures the song very well.
dixielandfarm Thanks. Did you notice a shot of the farm in the video?
I missed it! I watched on a small screen, so I guess I didn't see it... :(
Excellent video! Great job!
Thank you for your comment. Nick passed suddenly in March and I'm just keeping my memories of a 55 year friendship alive by answering comments. He loved music eclectically and found great joy fusing images and music. Be well.
I like ecclectic too. From Italian Baroque to Aerosmith with many artists and styles in between. Genres are for librarians. Music is what I love.
Absolutely... but haven't gotten into Gregorian Chants, yet!
Sorry for your loss. I know that pain and it's awful.
I too am ecclectic in my music tastes. I look at it this way: Genres are for librarians. I like music. I listen to everything from Classical to Rock. I have no favorite genre, and with a little ingenuity, you can mix all genres together provided the tracks are stellar.
Keep your memories of loved ones alive. I'm sure that this is therapeutic because I can associate a person with his musical tastes. Good luck!
Thanks for your genuine compassion.
Do the same justice to the rest of the rest of the tracks if possible ❤
Well Nick, Now that you're an artist, what are you going to do with the rest of our lives? I absolutely love your editing and eye. You must be sick of the song. but the album explores other times of day, some of which appear in your photos. Photographers are possessive these days... Might want to give them a nod in some sort of footnote.
Angus Davies, Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Unfortunately, Nick passed 2 years ago today... jitterbugging with his fiancé at a dance club :)!!! As his life long friend I was checking his videos and the comments. He would have much appreciated your supportive words. He and I had been having discussions about acknowledgements, as you suggest... he has 3 more videos on his MAC but they are in various stage of completion and unready for the world. Be well. --Ralph
@@ralphemerson7805 Aww geez I'm sorry to hear he passed on. This might be the best piece of work on youtube. I don't care for the 25 seconds of silence in the beginning, however. But what a beautifully dome masterpiece! Thanks for the update even though it's been a year. Peace out...
Sgt. Pepper's (another concept album) overshadowed this LP.
Let's see Kanye West, The Beebe, or 50 Cents top this!
Thanks for your great comment and very astute observation. Sgt. Pepper's was released in 67' just a few months before 'Days of Future Past'. The Moodies have never received the accolades they deserve. True fans know the innovations they brought to music and the enduring legacy they will leave behind.
Why is Joan Jett & even rappers in The R&R HOF and The Moodies & Procol Harum are not?
Can't think of one reason except politics. Too many Rock legends have been ignored by the R&R HOF.
Why the 25 seconds of silence in the beginning? I thought there was no sound and almost moved on. But nicely done otherwise.
Because it all began with silence, then there was the subharmonic wave that formed time and space. Have you ever listened to the first sound of the universe? Rather plaintive sound with no subharmonic hum... that’s because it was moving beyond the lonely little sound, the subharmonic wave was forming time and space. Here, listen and be in awe of the sound not heard... awe be praise and beauty and has no fear...

@@cheryldeboissiere7824 Great, but did you think that maybe half of your potential viewers might not be viewers because there is no sound for the first 25 seconds? Perhaps you should let people know that first, otherwise you will lose viewers.
