- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2019
- A selection of favorite Justin Hayward compositions, 2 with the Moody Blues and 2 solo (with John Lodge) from "Blue Jays".
Songs
1) The Land of Make Believe (Seventh Sojourn 1972)
A wonderful song, my favorite from the Moody Blues.
2) This Morning (Blue Jays 1975)
Another top song, not far behind 1)
3) Nights Winters Years (Blue Jays 1975)
A lovely song. To my mind, one of few successful pop songs with full orchestral backing.
4) Nights in White Satin (Days of future passed 1967)
A classic for all time, well deserved.

The moody blues are the best band ever. Better voices than the Beatles. .💕🇺🇲ya what he said.
Perfect 👌 Just Perfect 👌 Knights In White Satin The Moody Blues. 🌹🦋💕🦋🌸🦋💭🦋👌🦋⚡️🦋😭🦋🤩🦋💪🦋🍀🦋👏🦋👀.
Saw Moody Blues in New York in 1964, my first rock concert and was hooked from their first song. Justin Hayward had and has the most amazing voice.
Justin and the Moody blues are the greatest group of all times .thell never be another band like them ..once in a life...truly sent from above...✝️
Yes!
I have long run out of superlatives to describe the Moodies and especially Justin. I have fallen asleep with their songs since Seventh Sojourn came out way back in 1972.
I know all their songs almost by heart..
That group was sent to us from heavens above. Like Mozart... out of this world.
It is amazing to read comments from people who get the way this music makes you feel. Every emotion on the planet!
Excellent choices!
Your music always drew me Heaveneards.May Jesus Christ give you many new songs for all eternity
I have loved Mr. Hayward and the Moody Blues since 1967, and still 💞 them. Always will. Thank you for almost sixty years of wonderful songs.
Luv, hugs.
Finally, a list I agree with. You got this selection spot on. Blue Jays album was something else. My wife walked down the Aisle to Procal Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale, and we left the Cathedral to Nights in White Satin. Wonderful memories. (1979)
I had a doctor friend who told me on his dying bed one of his wishes in this life was to see the Moody Blues.Before he died the band came to Pensacola and he went to the concert and got his wish.I smile when I think of him and the Moody Blues.
I grew up listening to early 50 and 60s pop bands. But when I returned from Vietnam in 69, I discovered The Moody Blues and immediately took solace in the healing aura they offered. Thank you, lads.
i found solace as well in this lovely music
Justin Hayward sure is a genius love your selection of some of his wonderful songs ❤
My favourite LP. Loved Moody Blues since 70's
Nights,winters years,brings me back to 1982 in May.I was riding home with a friend and we had Blu-Jays 8 track on.NWY came on and tears started coming down my cheek......my father was dying.I tried to hide my feeelings,i never liked anyone seeing me cry.I found out yrs later he nailed me.My dad eventually passed 7/9/82.
God has blessed Justin Hayward and Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas, John Lodge and Graeme Edge. Other worldly sounds coming off their instruments and voices.
What a wonderful voice that comes from heavens most high. It continues to bring a peaceful break from our destructive world. Peace unto you Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues.
@Southern patriot - Wow, very well expressed! 😇
The soundtrack of my life. Best band ever and forever. Keeps me On the Threshold if a dream!!
So lucky to have met this wonderful man several times over the years, a genius
I just keep finding more and more and more gifts of song by Justin Hayward the more I look. And I'm going to be, happily, VERY busy listening to every single song. He is amazing, and he's showing no sign of stopping...thank God!
Just what we need to take our minds off covid!!
@@60sfanatic right on to that
I totally agree. I got into the Moodies via Nights of course, and then In Search of the Lost Chord when I was 18 in the early '80's and I loved them. The years went by and now I am discovering all the songs I didn't know back then and it has made such a difference to every day - they are an inspiration especially Justin's songs and I'm just so grateful for them all. This difficult period in our lives has made me value them beyond anything I thought possible.
My favorite song writer for 54 years by far!
@JustMe Put 'er there brother! Go Now........... Fly Me High. Never get tired of their genius eh? I listen to Seventh Sojourn often and wonder what they would come up with if Pinder had stayed on for a while longer. Biggest influence of my musical life by far!
Me too💚
The spiritual depth of the Moody Blues and particularly Justin Hayward's lyrical and melodic and musical poetry and genius is unmatched. There is such a thing as a higher consciousness, and higher awareness, and the Moody Blues combine that along with musical genius to a very powerful effect. Their music is about the very essence and meaning of life itself. Simply Brilliant.
Very brilliant indeed, NYJC! Your words here are very brilliant, as well!🎸🎤☠️🎤🎸👍
WELL MY DARLING THEY ARE'NT THE ONLY SPIRITUAL ONE'S HERE......THERE ARE MANY OF US......👁👁👽😇🙏💕🤗🐦
Perfect discription! Couldn't have said it better! :-)
Well said my friend.
wonderful words sir , totally agree with you hes a blessing on this planet
True musical genius indeed.
Land of make believe is so beautiful and timeless
Still my all time favorite band and solo artist. I used be a musician back in the day I modeled myself after Justin haward
Beautiful song,; Justin creates timeless music creating lovely pictures painted with words and emotion! Love listening to his songs-shows the genius in his work! Just sitting back and listening is calming, emotive, brilliant! His history surely shows a child prodigy evolving into a musical genius! An easy listening voice with class! Love 💕 the adventures in his songs!
Spirit, music, voices - full of love. Wonderful heart & soul songs. Poetry and wisdom.Timeless. 💫💌👏
Love all those songs 🎶💖😇
I've only heard this song when just Justin started touring and I have gone to several gigs of his. Of course this is when he was younger. I love This Morning. It touches your heart. All his songs do.
Some of my favourite songs too.....Blue Jays is my all time favourite album and can't be just be put on in the background, it has to be listened to. Love love love it.
If world peace is possible then it would be through inner peace that it could ever
Become a reality people like Justin Hayward spreading the positive side of love and that is the key of life and the moody blues have shared this truth through out their whole career and Justin has been a major role bringing truth to the world and he continues this message today still going strong with his solo career it is only right to celebrate the genius of JUSTIN HAYWARD.........《 ☆☆☆☆☆》
..
Wonderful singer writer and musician
When J. Hayward started playing for the M. Blues; a very special group of esoteric music lover were born There’s no doubt that this gifted musician has all what is needed to be considered among one of the best music composers of our time. He has that special ability to take us out of this world. And easily make us dream of lands of highs and lows in a night of white satin. ( I’m 65, and 55 years loving his music).
Appreciate the comment. I find it amazing how the Moodies morphed from "Go now" (which seems quite ordinary to me) to the unique music that followed. Justin must have had a great deal to do with it. He has such a lovely voice and his lyrics are special. Sounds like a really nice guy too, judging from interviews on RUclips.
Never thought I’d live to be a hundred
Truly remarkable Group! Musicians, writers, singers, & great individuals,too!🎸🎤☠️🎤🎸
No doubt about it. Justin Hayward is surely one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all times. Same level as Lennon/McCartney. My favorites: New Horizons and Driftwood. But tomorrow I will choose two other songs..!😉
Damn I KNEW "Nights Winters Years" was gonna be on here! Very under-rated song!
😍🤩🥰 I have loved Justin Hayward and The Moody Blues ever since I was in my 20's. I am now in my 60's.💕💞❤
Genius!
I remember buying blue jays back in the mid-seventies I still like to hear it now and again.
That Blue Jays album was fabulous!! I had it on vinyl as soon as it was released & decades later bought it on CD. Supposedly the band was breaking up (rumor at the time) so I grabbed it as soon as it came out. Of course they went on to make several more albums.
Great selection. I also love Land of Make Believe.
Thanks Glori, much appreciated.
Simply awesome
Humans have been on the earth for perhaps 100,000 years. Look how blessed we all are to have been on this planet with this genius at the same time and ears to hear his wonderful music.
Justin's voice is just beautiful.. He is a true poet .. He has got me through my teenage years... The most beautiful times of my life.... He is such a true artist!!!! The Moody Blues are the best group ever!!!! I listen to them all the time, they are so relaxing....💙💙💙💙💙.....
Oh my gosh - me too Cynthia!
Wonderful mix, thank you for sharing.💖
His and Mike Pinders music for me were the moodies sound ,never quite the same when Pinder left
RIP Mike Pinder April 2024💔
I always thought that "THis morning"captured the Moody Blues sound even tho i know it was just John and Justin.Must be the strong mellotron thru-out the song.Cant you just see Mike playing it?Bravo!!!
PERFECT AS ALWAYS.......👽🙏❤😇👁👁❤❤❤🙏
“You know what love can do to you!”
Saw MB a few times in concert, late 60’s- 70’s. Amazing lyrics and sound. Unmatched. Days of Future Passed my favorite
Such a gift!
Excellent choice of first play.
Yes.
I've seen lots of these MB videos & seen them in concert more times than I remember & one of my favorites is the haunting Forever Autumn. When I first heard that song I belonged to their fan club & bought the 45 rpm (anyone remember those?) from some guy in France, thinking I might never see this again. After that I was in a grocery store here in Mpls., Mn. & hear an instrumental on the store music system. I stopped shopping & camped under a speaker with a smile on my face til it was done.
Needless to say, I have many versions of this wonderful song now.
@JustMe Blessings to you, young man!
We love the songs from JH. We saw him with the rest of the Group live at Heineke Hal Amsterdam. Great Pleasur!
Thank you Ted, for sharing these beautiful songs.
Thanks Sharon, much appreciated.
I want to be listening to their music forever. The first 7 albums are my favorites. But I love all their albums.
First concert I took my daughter's to (5&11 yrs old). 2d generation fans to this day. The music and words (that you can always understand) are the extreme poetry in music. 50+ yrs of the Moody Blues and finally in the R&R HOF. Been a fan since Nights in White Satin. All members have contributed together and as individual artists.
Thanks for sharing. It seems to me that music can bring out the best in people. As I search through my collection from the 60's on wards, I'm amazed at how much beauty there is. Lyrics, harmonies, use of orchestral instruments and arrangements. I never considered myself a poetry lover but say, I guess that there is fine poetry in many of the songs. I see that era as a high point in the evolution of music in terms of beauty and innovation. .
'December Snow' saved me.
Indeed!
Always Love Themoodys Blues
Just love it as always. thank you
Really appreciated. I'm working through my songs to pick out the very best. If you have any suggestions for improvement, you could contact me through my channel.
GREAT! Just GREAT!
This is really nice! Thank you. 🥰👍
Thanks, glad you liked it.
These guys didn't have to smash guitars on stage or ride motor cycles through their LA hotel or trip out on drugs in public, all for attention as other bands did. Did they hang out with the Beatles etc? Of course. Even gave 'em a few ideas along the way. No, the Moody Blues, especially after Justin and John came along, was the epitome of poetry and artistry and expression musically. A thinking man's band, if I may.
You may!
And women's!
I just adore the moody blues young and olfer
Das melodias mais incríveis que eu escuto ...Anos e anos seguidos !
Obrigado pelo comentário, que bom que gostou.
i listen and i go off into somewhere else
i listen and i often rejoice
Good as McCartney!
Better
Better!
Better!
Far better!
Better
Comme la première lumière du crépuscule, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de vieilles promesses et à toutes les anomalies bienfaisantes de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les regrets, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés.
Wow, you have a nice control in the description of words, the Moodies undoubtedly inspire you!! Kudos!
C'est clair 🤠@@user-jm4mr5sk3f
Thanks Ted 😌
Blue Jays in a phenominal album, one of my very favorites. The only great song of his missed is Forever Autumn.
Quite possibly the most underappreciated "artiste" in the UK? A travesty!! At least equal to the great British songwriters, yes, including lennon & mcartney!
Absolutely agree!
Yes
HE IS SECOND TO NONE.
Lennon and McCartney were hacks in comparison, even in the 60's & 70's.
Yes Justin has always been my favorite artist, his music is poetry...❤
Desde de anos escuto .hoje tenho 63anos gosto mais ainda hoje
Eu concordo. Meu pai sempre dizia que minha música não duraria. Mas na maioria dos casos, incluindo os Moodies, ele estava muito errado. Assim como os vinhos finos, alguns melhoram com a idade.
I have all the keys to open. all doors 💖💌
Nice 🎶
❤
Searching for the Light - I gave it to you at River port the Glass piece 1993. Remember?
St. Louis Backstage thru Martin Wyatt.
Don’t anyone forget sir la mure I saw that concert at San Diego state I literally left my body listening has that happened to you out there?
WOW !!
The two best in this post are "Land of Make Believe" and "Nights in White Satin." Next in line would be "This Morning." I played "Nights Winters Years" when I first bought _Blue Jays_ and at first I thought it was a wonderful production; but later on I kinda soured on it. Just seemed a little melodramatic and perhaps an overreaching attempt to capture the impact of "Nights in White Satin." Since then it hasn't been high on my list of Hayward's best compositions. But "Land of Make Believe" certainly is, as are all of the songs off of _Seventh Sojourn._ That might be their best of the Classic 7 albums, as tough as it is to rank those.
I can more or less go along with that. I chose NWY as my second best song on the album (next would be "I dreamed last night") plus it is a unique sort of sound, taking pop/classical synthesis to the limit....and a bit beyond. So yes, a little over dramatic. LP's would be a toss up with Seventh Sojourn. I might just go with "To Our Children's Children" .
Incrivel
Astral projection very much into King Arthur's World too The Land of Fairies and other past Worlds. Carry the Word by the Ancient Ones information Justin has received by magically means.
I wrote a couple of times to the powers that be suggesting JH for an OBE. Guess what?!
Wish Justin & John would do a Blue Jays Tour but don't think Justin is interested.
Is it really Justin David Hayward? I thought I read it was David Justin Hayward ...
Jim Uren his first name was really David, but I guess he was always called Justin. It’s not unusual. Both my father and brother go by their middle names.
Thanks. Doubtless a different Gloria but "Rainbow" Glo admin'ed a beautiful Moody Blues chat site, now inactive. www.tapatalk.com/groups/starrynights/moody-blues-f66/
The book end songs are genius works, but the 2 in the middle???
Good Work but in (Discography) War Of The Worlds is not here
Justin was a great songwriter. But he is not better than Lennon & McCartney. The Beatles changed music forever. The volume of songs they wrote will never be equaled. I love Justin but...I do love all 4 songs. They are awesome!!!
Thanks James. The Beatles and Moody Blues were both great, but in different ways. The Beatles had lots of neat songs and I think that their live/stage performances were the best. But several of the Moody Blues/Justin Hayward studio performances touch me at a far greater depth. (The closest that I come to appreciating "orchestral" music) Which makes them really special for me.
@@60sfanatic Yes, the music of the Moody blues reaches into my soul and revives what I lost. Angelic voices exist in Justin Hayward and the Moody Blues. The Beatles feed my mind and the Moody Blues feel my soul. My searching for the medication to bring me out of a wasted slumber leads me to the music of the Moody's. Peace unto you.
The Beatles were bubble gum while the Moodies were your meat and potatoes. Much more depth in their music.
Have you heard?

Best of M.B.
Yes spiritual, whatever that would mean and with the Beatles the Moody Blues were the only music the followers of Charles Manson were allowed to listen too. Clearly Manson found another spiritual, transcendent meaning in their lyrics. One should listen to their accounts of the meaning of some of their lyrics and not the meaning one superimposes on to their songs. Enjoy the music, stop being a silly Billy and learn to apply the word genius more suitably.
I would have thought that the application of the term is a matter of personal opinion. And I have a right to mine? I can't think of any other musicians off hand that I would apply it to. Maybe the Roxette composer. Elton John showed glimpses early on. How about you? Any examples?
I met Justin in Birmingham in the early 80s. A good and successful musician he is but a genius he is not. As we were alone, we chatted for about twenty minutes. He lives in Sussex, travels to America where his music has always been popular, named his daughter Doe rei mi and sent her for an American education. Into a bit of every superstition, he and John Lodge do give the impression they eventually contracted the Jesus bug and feel at home in the US of A. No a musician but not a genius not even a musical genius.
