This is one of the most incredible, elegant and overlooked songs ever done by Justin/John anywhere. Every time I play it for someone, the reaction is the same, WHERE DO YO GET THAT!!! The same can really be said for the entire album
Oui 🙀
I bought this when it came out in 1975 and couldn’t stop playing the entire Blue Jays album. Us Moodies fans were thirsty for more Moodies music and Justin and John shure delivered!
Another great song from them never a bad recording I'm so proud of Justin Hayward he came from my home town, I remember seeing him playing in local groups you could tell back then he was bound to be a superstar he then joined the best band in the world oh I wish I could meet him before I die a big' big Moody Blues fan Nige xx
Dang..What a history. I could talk for hou
rs with you.I was a newborn when he started.Born in 1965.
Here I am in 2022 at 57 and thus song STILL makes me cry..Means alot now that I am alone now.This song is EASILY up there with Nights and Forever Autumn. The whole Blue Jay's album is pure gold.
This is such a beautiful song. I would love to hear more of the Blue Jays music Justin and John are so good together.❤️🎼❤️🎶❤️
This song, is a damn masterpiece.
The Moody Blues early lp's touched me in many ways. I'd often take 2 or 3 hits of LSD and listen to those early lp's because I knew they were saying remarkable and I just had to figure it out. I can remember looking out the window and down the street and see the beautiful traffic lights flashing words to me. God, was it remarkable and beautiful. And the Moody Blues took me to places I didn't know existed. At 71 years of age the Moody Blues/Blue Jays remain an inspiration to me. As I've said so many times, there have been 3 great influences in my life. 1. LSD 2. The Moody Blues 3. EST I am so happy to have been a part of that time.
AGREED!
Beautiful song! I love it... I love the whole Blue Jays album!
My only regret for the Blue Jays Album, was that it was the only one. Loved every track.
Having been a kid DJ at an FM rock station in '76 (and later a semi-successful songwriter), I played/loved this like crazy! No one could dis their early works, but to me, this was Hayward/Lodge's swan song. Just beautiful! A semi-compilation of their very best work. Now having decades of music behind me, I'd love to remix this, as this was 1 great effort of the '70's (way too much delay & reverb), but a full-on classic! Anyone who got their message, is someone who now makes this world better!
I just bought this cd on eBay. I haven't heard it in 40 years but I still remember the lyrics and sang along on the way to work. Classic and beautiful music.
Hard to believe I bought the album when it came out. :)
I found it on Discogs for $8usd and it was an import! Sounds so good 🎶🎵🎼
I bought the vinyl album of "The Blue Jays" in 1975 or 1976, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
It was at Sears-Canada, or Simpsons-Sears.
I'm glad the lyrics are included with their album, AND the CD version of this album, also.
I'm glad "Blue Guitar" was included on the CD of "The Blue Jays". Great tune!
Striking imagery.. beautiful, powerful song.
Justin and John... god, I love these guys...
The whole album is good. Love this song.
A haunting song with lyrics that are so true and that send goose pimples down my spine every time I hear this song. Justin and John at their very best. The Moodies are Wonderful!!
Best wishes,
Tony.
And, finally, Hall of Famers, not that they shouldn't have been in decades ago...
The got it back to front, the hall of fame should have been inducted into The Moody Blues!
"This Morning", a lovely song and video!
After all this years, still makes me cry... I LOVE THIS ONE.....
I remember listening to this album incessantly when it came out. This is my favorite song on the album...amazing feeling he puts in (and that 'buzz fuzz' guitar trademark of Justin's is used well here...wow).
I'm still listening to this album on the CD version, in 2023.
I saw the Moodies in concert maybe 4 or 5 times, and every time John Lodge looked like he was having a ball. He just loves to perform. Saw Justin Hayward by himself a couple of years ago. Still in voice. Some great new songs and new interpretations of some of the Moodies classics. What a rush.
I was at (in) Carnegie Hall for the world premiere of this album in 1975. My friend and I took the train up from Philly (Media, PA) to hear it. He got free tickets somehow. Here's a blurb about that event from Wikipedia:
"On 10 March 1975 Blue Jays made its debut in the form of a staged playback of the album at Carnegie Hall. Hayward and Lodge wanted to pipe the music into the street, but New York police said they feared a traffic jam."
I'll never forget it. Fell in love that day. With the music of Justin Hayward and John Lodge, that is.
One of the most romantic songs EVER! Thanks for sharing!
I remember buying this 8 track when it came out and listening to "This Morning" on the way home. What a great song.
So beautiful
They will live forever through their music. Forever a fan!
Just beautiful...??? ❤
Favourite album of all time...thank you so much!
Mine too!
beautiful album..brings me back to my younger years.They don't write or for that matter make albums that sound like this!
Love this whole album...this song you would swear Mike was there playing mellotron!!BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a Mellotron on this track but an ARP String Ensemble, played by Eric Stewart of 10cc.
@@chuckpadgettmusic I remember TM had the same feel to me as a MB song when Mike was in band.But now that i think about what U said RE what the instrument was maybe the mellotron pitch was lower and the pitch in TM is higher with the ARPSE.
I loved Seventh Sojourn but it always felt incomplete, shortened. This album was the perfect addition. Listening to them both, together, felt complete
interesting observation Jeffrey.... blue jays to me an "unofficial" moody blues album that complemented seventh sojourn very well
Timeless...just class!
A time never forgotten … a silence I’ve never forgotten 🍃
Sleepless are the hours and lonely is the night for the poor tormented soul searching for the light
thanks for posting. no one is more "romantic than justin hayward!!
I completely agree with you!
If only "Bluejays" had been released as the next Moody Blues album instead of Octave....
The Blue Jays album doesn´t need Octave songs, but would be fantastic if they had take a two year vacation and returned with a double album with the best of their solo tentatives. Yesterday I did a possible running order to this fictitious double album in my mind, but I still don´t know how to make a video with this song compilation..
Rick i love em both
Wonderful.
FLAWLESS!
Exquisite. Immaculate! Impossible.
Gotta love the slow climatic ending
amazing melody
The most Moody Blues sounding track on it!
Beautiful melody!!!
Love these old photos!
... Those Blue Jays...Legends...
Perfection

Thank You soooo much 4 sharing this one!
OK, THIS one brought me to tears, looking back on great memories... Exquisite interpretation. Thank you. I love it. ;-)
Excellent....thanks

Basically the Moodys are the Blue Jays now
Saw these guys back in the late 80s have all their music even when Justin and John the blue jays my favorite
music between them and pink Floyd concerts that I will never forget they were the best ell and foreigner close second can't remember all concerts I went to the worst I thought was culture club was talked into that one what a mistake
Are u kidding me this as good as any thing they did as a group.
I was in college, in Killjoys room, when he played Seventh Sojourn. I'd heard "Isn't Life Strange" on the radio. "Who is that?" I soon had the album and set out to get all the other Moodys- I just about had them all, when- CATASTROPHE! The Moody's have broken up! Anyway, I had this when it came out- and really solid- the whole album- played it as much as the others- This is a great orchestral album- I don't think I've heard it since CD's came out. know all the words though.Thanks for post
This long forgotten masterpiece comes from an era where musicians actually played real instruments as opposed to twiddling knobs to make a repetitive rumbling noise fluctuate between muffled and annoying.
This and the actor and never comes the day.. Don`t think anyone comes close to the perfecton of writing singing and the playing of it..
You have so many lovely videos..amazing talent! Thank you!
GA, this is fantastic, I love it. Its a nice blend of the Blue Jays and your pictures to move the song along...simply loved the emotion in your pictures.need I say pain and struggle that you get from the strained guitar sound......to the tear on eye, the two doors,....the girl sitting on the log with "I miss you"...its all excellent stuff and well put together...Great job.
Hurts to listen through this
love it!! do it in concert~~
Beautiful！！
wow!!! , cool song & video ty
I'm and old fan of The Moody Blues, sine there first album, I'm old I know. This song is particular for me, since they where no more ''in'' at this time...But I liked the Romantic paste of it, and later, Hayward wrote Forever Autumn...I was leftdown by the women I love at this moment..
Daniel Simard Justin Hayward sang Forever Autumn BUT did not write it. A small detail, but nevertheless true.
An inspiring video montage
HOT!
I've always wanted to choreograph a ballet to this song.
This is a Beauty on its own.
John and Justin are truly remarkable together.
The Moody Blues treatment, symphonic is much better than the solo effort with backup band.
They are a joke compared to the Moodies.
Sad, but true.
💞🙏💞
🌹👍🌹 💘 💖 💔
I feel iM in Tibet
suffers only from full realization under the direction of Pinder
this song always confused me...however great video GA
Janice, hey lady! It's me, Deb/moodygirl/berrygirl. Are you still here at yt? I hope so and hope you are well. Would love to reconnect!

thank you Tonya Justin and john and crew for all you did what a way to end an eve with ur lady and a fatty
I guess the only way better is with "my brother" let you know (-:
Is this a band cause I have a band called the blue jays I just have to change my band name
Brohand Leader The album was called Blue Jays, Justin and John are the two J’s from the Moody Blues and this album was their joint effort while the Moodies had temporarily split up. They were collectively and affectionately known as the Blue Jays but really It’s Justin Hayward and John Lodge from the Moody Blues, hope this helps.
who wrote this?....Lodge or Hayward?
Hayward
and do
Exactly what?
Driven by,
Driving by.
Not spending the moment to be there, to
be kind. Hock yeah, to be considerate.
That is when you know all you did was 'survive', not really live.
Take the time to rest, and be kind.
Change is gonna come.
(this tune is so much better with John Lodge, and Moodiesque treatment)
Going through the motions as solo, and no comment re: backup band.
Dawes is remarkable. Eye candy lady, K, is good on flute.
Butt, they sure as shit aren't the Moodies.
Got it?
Yes, I'm from Texas, we cut through the crap.
Popopopopopopopopopopooppooppppppppppppppppp❤
PS,
John's looks a lot better than crusty little S McQueen, who did not live too long, now, did he?
Maybe he lived his life better than someone stuck on Ali McGraw.
She is literally a stick figure, with depth of a yoghurt cup.
Mrs Lodge is adorable, and they look happy. Opposite of what this empty, saddened song implies.
I like this song but it always sounded a bit overproduced.
I'm in the minority on this Blue Jays CD. I find it very disappointing. I realize music is subjective, but I wish Justin woulda colloborated with Pinder instead. Then in 1978 they released Octave. Another lemon. 3 years later they were back big time with Long Distance Voyager, a great album.
Nevermind that's you"re choice, don't think octave is a "lemon" though, & I love Ray, but on this occasion his songs were weak! If Mike had 2 more tracks on album like "one step into the light" it would not have been a "lemon"
The name of the record is " Blue Jays " not " The Blue Jays "
