    The Moody Blues came to the Kentucky State Fair, of all places, and gave a concert there back in the early part of this century. I took my older sister, who clearly had misgivings about any group I was so enthusiastic about. But she was completely enthralled by them! No surprise there. I gave her one of their albums so she could continue the awakening at her home. 🙂

Later, having bought "Days of Future Passed" and, even now, few days go by when I don't find myself singing one of their songs softly to myself, some 54 years later.

      Yes.One of the first to use orchestas, different instruments like the sitar, and that organ like instrument I don't understand. Who wrote these songs? Sounds like a poet. Some of the songs are so simple, like Lazy Day, almost boring, but then...they take you somewhere else. It's amazing. Does anyone know whomever wrote the songs also produced them? The production is the best part of their sound. I love the titles of songs, and album. "In Search of the Lost Chord" Wow, I love that. But I heard one of the Moodies give an interview that they got that line from Jimmy Durante. They are oodly polite, talk well of one another, and seem to be upper class gentlemen...which is unusual for a rock band in the 70s.In other words, until that infamous trial, they seemed to practice what they were preaching, peach, love, togetherness. mixed with these incredible stories, usually love songs. They seemed to be unusually happy people. Then they get this big spiritual following they don't really want and they write that song, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...to tell their fans, yeah, that's all they are. They weren't great singers. But those harmonies were beautiful. It was the way it was all put together, lyrics, prouduction, harmonies, the experimentation with formats....Ride mY See Saw is interesting, is starts fast, does the political or spiritual part, then slows down completely then does a romantic plea for personal change.

      Sean Spring-I can totally agree with you!-I was born in 1963, and my mother was a very loyal Moody Blues fan. As a matter of fact, the very first 45 record that I purchased from the local record shop was "The Story in Your Eyes", by the Goodies. I feel quite fortunate also that I got to see the Moody Blues in concert, about 4 times in Los Angeles. As I listen to all of their unbelievably iconic albums today, at age 57, I truly feel like their music takes me to another place-a beautiful and peaceful place, and has a healing affect on me just like it did when I was 8 years old-The Moody Blues were so ahead of their time that their music sounds so right today,timeless and flawless as always!

Maybe that’s close to what you mean when you say you “float in the universe”.....I don’t profess any special wisdom, or God forbid any “answers”, but these closing words from the movie American Beauty ring true for me.........”And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.”
