@@jameswagesi1026what about him🤔as good as Luther is he sounds like a lot of other great smooth soul singers, Justin hayward has a more distinctive vocal style, but to be honest, 2 totally different singers🎶😊
It blows my mind that Justin said he has never considered himself a singer. What a voice! I have adored this band since my brother introduced them to me when I was 12. I’m now 62, and they have been the soundtrack to my life.
Yes....what a voice - what a song - what a group of tremendously talented musicians that no one can come close - the soundtrack to my life as well....😊😇🥰
My 5 older brothers started me on my " Moodies voyage" in 1968 at age 8. I'm still taking that journey until the white eagle of the North flys me to paradise.
I first heard The Moodys in the late 70s with Nights in White Satin Then when I heard Justin on War of the Worlds I was hooked! When I was 16 and had my first job in 1979 I bought a French pressing of Days of Future Passed. Always loved that album. Only got in to them again in the last 5 years and bought In search of the lost chord. What an album! Now have several others too . Absolute genius and so Spiritual.
This is one of the loveliest songs to come out of the late 60s. And the album it came from - In Search of The Lost Chord - is utter poetic beauty. After 55 years it has lost none of its power.
Their songs refresh the spirit when we have strayed too much into the material world to remind us of what is really important ...... Love and Nature. They bring back hope to let us know it's still not too late to change and to have happiness.
I was having a delightful romp through the Flower Child era when this SINGULARLY classy, elegant group released this wonderfully uplifting ode to Spring. I loved it then and still do 5 decades later! No fanfare or posturing ... simply great, original, creative mastery of their own brand of music.
Back in the day, I always had them No. 2 behind Procol Harum. Robin Trower's guitar, Matthew Fisher's adroit Hammond Organ, and Gary Brooker's Baroque piano playing and magnificent baritone voice. But, yeah, the Moody Blues were excellent.
The best thing about the Moody Blues is that they followed their own individual path, never paying much heed to the trends of the day and were incredibly successful in doing it.
+Tara McSparron Their music is gentle, loving and imaginative. That just doesn't fit in anywhere in our violent society. But those qualities are no joke to me.
Oh how I love this song! I heard this today while driving in my car, it brought tears to my eyes. How beautiful this melody is and Justin Haywards voice is heaven sent. I have loved them since I was 10 years old when my Mother played their records. Thank you to all of these amazingly talented and gifted musicians. I'm an adoring fan for life!
No matter what song Moody Blues sing they still bring inner reflection of who we all are then and now. Miss those days with head phones and just being carried away with all the diffrent sounds, one could hear the sounds of the sea.
After seeing the Moodies "live" over 50 times since 1970, their rare performance of this song always sends chills up my spine. It's probably their simplest yet deepest song...ever! The true genius of Justin Hayward!
This is so redolent of the spirit of that era. Things were, by and large, more tender and compassionate. This song is so beautiful and takes me back to those times - better times, in my humble opinion. As a footnote, Justin Hayward’s mum used to teach “domestic science” at my secondary school in West London.
I think this song's message is that there is so much beauty to appreciate and so many lessons for all of us to learn everywhere, in every corner of this universe. (From the "bluebird flying high", to the "old man passing by", to the "children with their skipping rope.") It also speaks of a noticeable/profound change occurring deep within the soul/person - this is especially evident with his phrase/line, "Just what is happening to me? I lie awake with the sound of the sea."
In Zen Buddhism, “satori” is to awaken to one’s self and life as it IS. Zen is, roughly speaking, the direct experience of reality uncluttered by mental chatter, explanation, and the symbolism of words and images we tend to substitute for the actual and ineffable. I think this song (“Tuesday Afternoon” and others) was inspired by a satori-like moment…likely aided by psychedelics (“entheogens” -Houston Smith). That is to see again, in so many ways, the ordinary and common as if for the first time-through the eyes of child.
I was turned on to the Moody Blues at age 18. I was extremely "troubled". EXTEMELY troubled. I started listening to "This Is The Moody Blues" and it literally changed my life. It became a religion to me and I know that I am the normal man that I am today because of them. If you guys haven't fully listened to all of their music, you are missing out on the best of the best... Chuck Loveless
For my money, this is the greatest rock band of all time. Beautiful songs. Beautiful ideas. Highly skilled, classicaly-trained musicians. Convincing singers. Awe-inspiring albums. Timeles music. They had their ups and downs. But their works are still burning bright after four decades. Let us not forget their incomparable producer, Tony Clarke, a master craftsman on their first few albums. An amazing assemblage of Rritish talent. I will love their music forever.
i was in the air force late 60's one guy turned me on to the moody blues and i was hooked bought all their albums still like them a lot a very underated group
the first kind of progressive rock ever. a great invention of a real great music ! then came pink floyd, queensryche, simphonic rock and many others... but moody blues was the "start-button" for all of this. and i cant stop hearing their music - just love them !
Whats amazing to me anyway is how young Justin was at this time, I think him and Stevie winwood had to be the youngest guys in rock and they were writing incredible songs at such a young age.
This is truly poetry in song. You can visualize everything Justin is singing and it comes across in his beautiful voice and the MB's music. A Timeless piece of great music!!!
Classical Moody Blues sound and timeless. This song greatly impacted me when I first heard it in 1971. Now in 2023, the song still impacts me the same as it did in 1971. I am an American Christian male, retired US Army and retired Boeing. There are lots of good rock and roll bands, but the Moody Blues is one of only very few musical bands I listen to with any regularity. I have all of their albums and special releases. I first saw the Moody Blues in concert at the Baltimore Civic Center in October 1971. I had just returned from a combat tour in Vietnam in July of that year. Me and 3 other soldiers from Ft Meade MD paid $6.50 for each ticket at the door. The next time I was able to again see the Moody’s in concert was at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, WA, October 2013. For my wife and I together, tickets cost $150. I would have paid more. The music of the Moody Blues kept me sane and off drugs and booze when I was a young man. The music helped shape me as a man as I matured.
That's great sir. I discovered them as an aspiring musician in the 90's when I was a teenager. I love how powerful this sound is. Good music is eternal. I remember hearing Days of Future Passed on the radio and was simply blown away.
Been listening to the moody blues since I was ten years of age, I am now sixty eight years old. Inside I am still that ten year old boy learning about life and fortunate to live in an era with groups such as this. We shall see nor hear the likes of these bands ever again, how blessed I was. God bless all like the moody blues who gave us such wonderful music.
Hi Evan. I have been a life-long fan, since the age of 9. Anyway, I have attempted a cover version of "Voices in the Sky". If you have a moment, please take a listen and tell me what you think - ruclips.net/video/xHuMalFas7g/видео.html
One of my favorite songs. I have probably listened to this a thousand times. It always makes me feel good. Always relaxes me. It reminds me of my girlfriend in 1968. What a great album.
I first heard this song and was hooked. I was put into this mystical mindset 53 years ago which I am still in today. I walked 2 miles to Tower Records in West Hollywood to buy Days of Future Passed and they are the greatest of all time.
A beautiful song that I remember hearing long ago in my teens. I still love it. Saw the Moody Blues about 10 years ago in concert. They were fantastic. One of the greats!!
Back in the day, a couple of my friends were fans. I thought they were just good. Move forward 40 years and I realise just how wonderful they were. Better late than never! This band has given me, a life-long musician, a new appreciation of what matters in music.
A very beautiful melody! The Moody Blues had a very unique sound all their own. I have seen them in concert in the mid 80's and the 90's. One of my favorites!!!
Timothy Leary often spoke of satin Saturday, a good environment, good company, and good music. I had all of these things when I had my first psychedelic experience to In Search of the Lost Chord. It is about the journey which we are all on in order to find our piece of paradise and the various ways we try to find it.This stayed with me for 37 years and will hold a special place in my heart forever. Voices in the sky, mere words cannot describe what this song means to me. Thanx redbaron863
WOW, I can remember things like that, I turned 21 in 68 and almost every night I would go to sleep with my head between the speakers. Just reading your comments brought back those good old times. Today's so called music can't compare to ours...
So does anyone out there believe young men in their 20’s or early 30’s these days could even dream of producing such amazing progressive lyrics and sound?!?! From all I’ve seen and heard the past 30 years there’s absolutely no way! These guys and many more such as YES, ELP, KING CRIMSON, GENESIS, JETHRO TULL, THE WHO and I could go on and on set the bar so high these spoiled generations these last few decades don’t have the hunger and passion it takes. MB’s… y’all are a true blessing!
Wow! You are spot on!! That's right - who could have ever produced what the MB's produced when they were that young? It only goes to show that they had something beautiful going on inside of their hearts and minds....
Actually, if you've seen him this year, he HAS it all. Voice, guitar work, and newer lyrics.. And he's pretty damn gorgeous for 69. :) Look for Spirits - Live.
I got to have the Moody Blues in my life while I was in Singapore in 1972. What a revelation! Absolutely loved the music. Can remember getting paid in beers to quote their poetry in bars at Sembawang. God they were great times.
Several notches above most any group out there..Man these guys are so smooth.They also have a great range of song types and all are terrific. I love "Voices in the Sky"..
Still listening now... Just a beautiful voice Justin has.. He is such a poet and an artist!!! His voice is angelic and just lovely...I love The Moody Blues!! The best band on the face of the earth!!!!!! Just stunning!!! 💙💙💙💙💙.... ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️.....
In 1981 I travelled as a 26 yo from Oz to Eurpope on the compulsory camping trip. Somehow finished up at 55 High Street, Cobham. Nice lady in the record shop next door took me next door upsatairs to the Moodies headquarters. She gave me copy of lithograph of long distance voyager, tee shirt etc etc. A time I will never forget.
Such beautiful words - This song makes me think of my recently deceased little dog who was my lifelong friend, my fluffster, Phoebe. Miss you every day x
This song is nothing short of magical and Justin's voice is nothing short of magnificent. I want to cry every time I hear this because it is so achingly beautiful.
I just saw Justin last Thursday and he looks good and sounds even better. I never thought I would ever get to see him but I was so excited and still am, God I love these guys
I shared this w/ a friend, and she kept calling it "The Bluebird of Happiness" song-and she's right! Listening to this song (as w/so many of the Moody's songs) makes me hapy!
This is one of my favorite rock and roll groups of all time. They are great. Like someone said earlier, the music of today can't compare with the groups from back then. These guys had talent. They didn't just make a bunch of noise that had a half ass beat to it. They were one of many great groups of artists from those days that were incomparable. It is a shame that such groups don't exist today. They were in it not just for the money, but they loved what they did and they had much talent.
They were pure genius with a poetic vision that touched our existential nature -- luring listeners to seek what we hadn't been taught with conventional academia.
Beautifully put I heard this song back in 1970 I was 10 years old I only heard it once or twice on a College Station in Gainesville Florida in I didn't hear it any longer for long period of time in in the mid eighties when they came out with C d's I saw the album of their greatest hits and I bought it I could never get enough for this song the elegance the beauty simplicity of it it's beautiful not much music today is like that but the thing I love about the sixties most of the artist were not concerned about commercialism in money my brother's friends who are of that age someone to Vietnam some did not but they realize the simplicity and elegance of the music and the artist. Fantastic song fantastic group of always enjoyed The Moody Blues and ELP and many others. Thank you and God bus are you guys.. 🙂😌😽🙋♂️🖖👍✌
The Moody Blues is one of the most underrated musical groups in today 's music world. It is really a shame that they still have not been inducted in R&R Hall of Fames. They are probably the first musical group that employs orchestra assembly with their songs. They are truely the pioneer of a so called "Rock Opera" music.
Po czterdziestu kilku latach wciąż się zastanawiam skąd w tamtym zbuntowanym, długowłosym, hippisowskim pokoleniu było tyle wewnętrznego, wzruszającego poczucia piękna, wrażliwości, delikatności...tej delikatności, którą widzimy na video u Justina Haywarda...To nadal mnie zachwyca...
Absolutely timeless! Just as heavy and thought provoking today as it was the first time I heard it......oh so many years ago. Peace, Best Wishes and Hope
So many beautiful songs to listen to, so many wonderful stories and poems to read, so many delcious things to drink, smell and eat. Hope I never run out of days, thanks for posting this rainbow at the end of a brilliant day!
Back in the day, we used to trip to the Moodies all the time, and this song was a favorite. The good LSD is long gone, but the songs remain. Rather nice.
Jim VanDePutte Very glad to hear it. Last time I encountered some kid who had "acid, JUST LIKE the 60's," (this was in 1980,) all he had was a bit of strychnine. They actually thought a few "body rushes" constituted an LSD trip. Hey, that was the signal that we were about ready to really "get off," and the highly visual stuff was about to begin.
Hubby and I saw The Moody Blues here in Wichita on the Final Tour. 3rd Row Center, right in front of Justin. Ladies, I don't have the words for how wonderful he still is. Voice, bod- the whole package. Twice I have been blessed to see this Fantastic Group, live and in person. I am so Blessed. My All Time Favorite Group. Thanks Moodies for all the years of Beautiful Music!
dislikes are weaknesses displayed by a closed mind. Nothing in the world brings more joy to the masses than the beautiful expressions of such wonderous music!

There's no better voice than Justin Hayward
Beautiful song. I think I still have all of their vinyl albums that are not for sale.
Mike Pinders voice is also good
Luther Vandros
you got that right!!

I also always love this band, started collecting the Digitally Remastered Disc
we will never pass this way again, but we remember.

This shows what happens when you blend rock with classical music perfectly. No one did it better then the Moody Blues.

So correctly,good luck
Timeless song. So beautiful ❤
I'm a Moody Blues fan, forever.
Me too.😃
forever mb
Gosh, how can one not be?
❤️
Me too and my brother we love them long time too ❤
Oh what a singer Justin is.....look at those eyes!
This has got to be one of best bands of all time. There is none that compare to them. They are unique.
Pink Floyd would be the closest to their talent and sound
NEVER tire of this etheral song and video....Justin Hayward was, is, and will always surpass anyone in the music industry. I am melting.....
Yes
The best thing about the Moody Blues is that they followed their own individual path, never paying much heed to the trends of the day and were incredibly successful in doing it.
completely agree tara.
Tara McSparron Yes, they did and their sound was amazing and unique.
una mckillen One of the least appreciated music masters of that era !
My Favorite group of all time.
i couldn't have said it better .thank you
+Tara McSparron Their music is gentle, loving and imaginative. That just doesn't fit in anywhere in our violent society. But those qualities are no joke to me.
Oh how I love this song! I heard this today while driving in my car, it brought tears to my eyes. How beautiful this melody is and Justin Haywards voice is heaven sent. I have loved them since I was 10 years old when my Mother played their records. Thank you to all of these amazingly talented and gifted musicians.
I'm an adoring fan for life!
I believe he has the best voice of any male rock artist.
@@rogersmithjr3837 Absolutely!!
Agreed! Here in Ireland,these guys were huge too! J.H.has a really class voice
Phenomenal events happen so rarely. The Moody Blues were a gift that likely will never be repeated. For them, I am grateful.
A big time gift!! I just wish that Justin Hayward, and John Lodge would get together just one more time before they pass on.
No matter what song Moody Blues sing they still bring inner reflection of who we all are then and now. Miss those days with head phones and just being carried away with all the diffrent sounds, one could hear the sounds of the sea.
After seeing the Moodies "live" over 50 times since 1970, their rare performance of this song always sends chills up my spine. It's probably their simplest yet deepest song...ever! The true genius of Justin Hayward!
Justin is completely adorable... and everything about this song is beautiful!
This is so redolent of the spirit of that era. Things were, by and large, more tender and compassionate. This song is so beautiful and takes me back to those times - better times, in my humble opinion. As a footnote, Justin Hayward’s mum used to teach “domestic science” at my secondary school in West London.
A life of peace is much much better than hatred and war
Absolutely wonderful.
Such a beautiful voice and man❤
The Moody Blues were way ahead of their time…🕊️ They were & are one of my favorite groups.
You hit the nail on the head!! Way ahead of their time. Absolutely agree with you!!
I think this song's message is that there is so much beauty to appreciate and so many lessons for all of us to learn everywhere, in every corner of this universe. (From the "bluebird flying high", to the "old man passing by", to the "children with their skipping rope.")
It also speaks of a noticeable/profound change occurring deep within the soul/person - this is especially evident with his phrase/line, "Just what is happening to me? I lie awake with the sound of the sea."
Love my
Yes I agree. It's about learning from all around. And being aware of it all.

Any of us could be guided as you describe, if we listen often. Are you well
Hope you're well Shan!!
Classical Moody Blues sound and timeless. This song greatly impacted me when I first heard it in 1971. Now in 2023, the song still impacts me the same as it did in 1971. I am an American Christian male, retired US Army and retired Boeing. There are lots of good rock and roll bands, but the Moody Blues is one of only very few musical bands I listen to with any regularity. I have all of their albums and special releases. I first saw the Moody Blues in concert at the Baltimore Civic Center in October 1971. I had just returned from a combat tour in Vietnam in July of that year.

That's great sir. I discovered them as an aspiring musician in the 90's when I was a teenager. I love how powerful this sound is. Good music is eternal. I remember hearing Days of Future Passed on the radio and was simply blown away.
beautiful voices, beautiful instrumentals, beautiful lyrics, what’s not to love?
i'm 40 and i agree. they have a quality all their own. i'm only sadened and surprised they aren't in the hall of fame.
wish we could get them there.
Been listening to the moody blues since I was ten years of age, I am now sixty eight years old. Inside I am still that ten year old boy learning about life and fortunate to live in an era with groups such as this. We shall see nor hear the likes of these bands ever again, how blessed I was. God bless all like the moody blues who gave us such wonderful music.
Never in the history of popular music has there been a band that encapsulates the metaphysical better than the magnificent Moody Blues.
God bless You and your family everyday, Justin. I love You forever. You are very beautiful and the best for me.

In my humble opinion, Justin and the boys are just brilliant and have brought me joy in life. God save us.

WOW ...one of the first song we learned as a band back in 68... thanks ..this brought back some great memories.....
What a gorgeous voice Justin has. He sounds really good live also, which very few rock and roll artists do. I heard him on XM live and was amazed.
Back in the day, a couple of my friends were fans. I thought they were just good. Move forward 40 years and I realise just how wonderful they were. Better late than never! This band has given me, a life-long musician, a new appreciation of what matters in music.

Justin Hayward has always been a highly-underrated guitarist.
I saw a clip where someone favorably compared Justin to George Harrison. Solid guitarists without the flash. And since George is my favorite Beatle…
So good! IMHO these musicians were unlike any other, they will never be replaced. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to hear their hearts.

aww.....so sorry for your loss.....I lost my mother, my best friend....Nov. 2011....This song brings tears to my eyes....I miss her so
Several notches above most any group out there..Man these guys are so smooth.They also have a great range of song types and all are terrific. I love "Voices in the Sky"..
Still listening now... Just a beautiful voice Justin has.. He is such a poet and an artist!!! His voice is angelic and just lovely...I love The Moody Blues!! The best band on the face of the earth!!!!!! Just stunning!!! 💙💙💙💙💙.... ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️.....
One of the few bands whose music can get me so deep into thought and in a totally hypnotic state. 100% Total talent.
In 1981 I travelled as a 26 yo from Oz to Eurpope on the compulsory camping trip. Somehow finished up at 55 High Street, Cobham. Nice lady in the record shop next door took me next door upsatairs to the Moodies headquarters. She gave me copy of lithograph of long distance voyager, tee shirt etc etc. A time I will never forget.
Such beautiful words - This song makes me think of my recently deceased little dog who was my lifelong friend, my fluffster, Phoebe. Miss you every day x
THEY INVOKE SUCH BEAUTIFUL MELANCHOLY... PEACEFUL, JOYFUL... THEY SING OF LOVE. YOU'LL RUN WITH YOUR FRIEND FOREVER. :-)
This song is nothing short of magical and Justin's voice is nothing short of magnificent. I want to cry every time I hear this because it is so achingly beautiful.
My favorite band in the early 1970s, and even today I love them!
Beautiful song with great flute accompaniment by Ray Thomas.......
This is one of the best songs of the Moody Blues-one of my favourites.Justin Hayward has got such a divine voice. He is awesome.
I just saw Justin last Thursday and he looks good and sounds even better. I never thought I would ever get to see him but I was so excited and still am, God I love these guys
Saw Justin & John live @ Madison Square Garden & had the pleasure of meeting them with a hug & kiss! OMG! OMG! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸🎸
my father's music. totally brought up with it. just wish i had my own children to share these life- important songs with
This is the song I hear when I think of Ray Thomas's flute. Thank you sir for giving us your amazing music! RIP.
Beautiful voice and beautiful man gosh 😍🥰💞
YES - so right about that - he is the TOTAL package of a man. THe Moody Blues are ethereal - like no other.......
I shared this w/ a friend, and she kept calling it "The Bluebird of Happiness" song-and she's right! Listening to this song (as w/so many of the Moody's songs) makes me hapy!
This is one of my favorite rock and roll groups of all time. They are great. Like someone said earlier, the music of today can't compare with the groups from back then. These guys had talent. They didn't just make a bunch of noise that had a half ass beat to it. They were one of many great groups of artists from those days that were incomparable. It is a shame that such groups don't exist today. They were in it not just for the money, but they loved what they did and they had much talent.
They were pure genius with a poetic vision that touched our existential nature -- luring listeners to seek what we hadn't been taught with conventional academia.
+8armwrap Cool.....
Beautifully put I heard this song back in 1970 I was 10 years old I only heard it once or twice on a College Station in Gainesville Florida in I didn't hear it any longer for long period of time in in the mid eighties when they came out with C d's I saw the album of their greatest hits and I bought it I could never get enough for this song the elegance the beauty simplicity of it it's beautiful not much music today is like that but the thing I love about the sixties most of the artist were not concerned about commercialism in money my brother's friends who are of that age someone to Vietnam some did not but they realize the simplicity and elegance of the music and the artist. Fantastic song fantastic group of always enjoyed The Moody Blues and ELP and many others. Thank you and God bus are you guys.. 🙂😌😽🙋♂️🖖👍✌
The Moody Blues is one of the most underrated musical groups in today 's music world. It is really a shame that they still have not been inducted in R&R Hall of Fames. They are probably the first musical group that employs orchestra assembly with their songs. They are truely the pioneer of a so called "Rock Opera" music.
They did the absolute best job of combining classical music with rock. An amazing accomplishment.
This has always been one of my very favorite songs, they have made some of the most beautiful music.
They are a glimpse of pure HEAVEN!
I second that,beautiful music that will never be composed again.
they are the "Choir of the Angels of Heaven" Angelic Wisdom
I melt when I see and hear this video....oh so beautiful voice and song and oh so handsome of a man
masterpiece!!!
beautiful melody, beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice...beautiful Justin, so cute...;-))
One of my favorite songs ever since I heard it as a child 20yrs ago😊. Never gets old!
Po czterdziestu kilku latach wciąż się zastanawiam skąd w tamtym zbuntowanym, długowłosym, hippisowskim pokoleniu było tyle wewnętrznego, wzruszającego poczucia piękna, wrażliwości, delikatności...tej delikatności, którą widzimy na video u Justina Haywarda...To nadal mnie zachwyca...
Always loved the Moody blues, Justin Hayward has an incredible voice!!
One of thee most lilting, mellow and prettiest songs from that era...
Absolutely timeless! Just as heavy and thought provoking today as it was the first time I heard it......oh so many years ago.
Peace, Best Wishes and Hope
So many beautiful songs to listen to, so many wonderful stories and poems to read, so many delcious things to drink, smell and eat. Hope I never run out of days, thanks for posting this rainbow at the end of a brilliant day!
I lay awake with the sound of the sea, calling to me....

Back in the day, we used to trip to the Moodies all the time, and this song was a favorite. The good LSD is long gone, but the songs remain. Rather nice.
Really, good LSD is all around. You need to know peopl. Tripped great last, same feeling and high as 40 some years ago! ;)
Jim VanDePutte Very glad to hear it. Last time I encountered some kid who had "acid, JUST LIKE the 60's," (this was in 1980,) all he had was a bit of strychnine. They actually thought a few "body rushes" constituted an LSD trip. Hey, that was the signal that we were about ready to really "get off," and the highly visual stuff was about to begin.
After 50 plus years as a fan, I never get tired of listing to them as a band and solo performance's. All ways grateful 😘😘😘
Hubby and I saw The Moody Blues here in Wichita on the Final Tour. 3rd Row Center, right in front of Justin. Ladies, I don't have the words for how wonderful he still is. Voice, bod- the whole package. Twice I have been blessed to see this Fantastic Group, live and in person. I am so Blessed. My All Time Favorite Group. Thanks Moodies for all the years of Beautiful Music!
dislikes are weaknesses displayed by a closed mind. Nothing in the world brings more joy to the masses than the beautiful expressions of such wonderous music!
