- For My Lady:
A Beautiful Song
Written and Preformed by Ray Thomas
Music of The Moody Blues:
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady Видеоклипы
I am 69 years old and I listen with the utmost respect to the group. Keep the music alive
So am I 69, and I LOVE ❤️ LISTENING TO THE MOODY BLUES❤
When I still in my teens I had “This Is The Moody Blues” on a reel to reel tape. I thought it was the best music I had ever heard. Now I’m in my 60s and I still feel that way.
Me Too pal I hear you and I'm 70
You guys were truly honored to experience these guys in there prime. I'm only 33 but goodness I was taught to respect this incredible talent.
Back in the mid-60s to early 70s, some really great receivers were on the market. Even the mid-level Panasonics were darn good. FM album, rock radio stations were playing long songs, SOMETIMES SIDES OF ALBUMS. It was the BEST TIME to be a pop & rock music lover. These young kids won't understand. Some of these musicians were classically trained & TRULY EXCELLENT composers. The diversity, quantity & quality of great music WAS UNPARALLELED. The Moody Blues was in that category, AND STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Rick Wakeman & Yes, virtually 100s of Bands. All I can say about today's music is it is hit or miss. You like what you're used to & grew up with. But busting rhymes and sick beats have some merit, but they lack wholeness & mastery. Of course, it is a function of demographics.
@@adrianmonk4440problem, it's all prefabricated boxed music. Nobody actually plays instruments anymore.
Beautiful song and wonderful voice. Thank you for your many talents Mr. Thomas. You will sorely missed and fondly remembered.
6 years married today. This song my wife loves me to sing to her. Six years ago I gave up a life full of tears and and moved from England to the Philippines to be with my gentle lady. No regrets no more tears.
After 40 years,I'm listening to this song again.Mercy my God.Thank you.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. I wore this album out back in the day. A different time and place but this song will always bring me back to that time
I did too, great track on a great album.
I love their music especially this song always hoped for a man who felt like this about me I found him in this life can’t wait for eternity when I will meet him again ❤
Now in my early seventies in 2024. I listened to the Moody Blues in the sixties and rediscovering them in the twenties. This is my new favorite song.
This group has consistently put out some of the most beautiful listening music in the English language.
Time stands as the consumate thief, for it will eventually rob us of everything, listening to the Moody Blues helps to pass the time until then
Progresif and senfonic music of Kings Rip Ray Thomas fantastic
Nooo..
Patricia: SPOT ON! Yes - the Moody Blues are unsurpassed when it comes to music - they are ETHEREAL!!! There will never be anyone like them. Each and every one of them!!
❤ PROOF.
RIP Ray Thomas. This was your most beautiful song.
_Requiescat in pace_ , Ray Thomas. The band's body of work would be unthinkable without him, in the form of his impassioned flute-playing and winsome vocals and, not least, his songwriting - any time you hear Moodies lyrics imbued with playful, storybook whimsy and innocent childlike wonder at the world's flora and fauna, whether depicting children at mid-morning play, a twilight "aerial display by the firefly brigade, dancing to tunes no one knew", the exhilaration of taking sixty-foot lighter-than-air leaps across the surface of the moon, or hymning his beloved in immemorial sea-shanty style, you can bet with confidence that you are hearing the words of Ray Thomas.
Ray Thomas and Moody blues The Kings of senfonic roock
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. I must have listened to it 100 times and I still well up listening to it. Reminds me when I met my wife and how quickly l fell in love with her (46 years ago!)
Ray Thomas...He sang some fanciful, whimsical and often some DEEPER songs. Musician and singer since his teen years. Self-taught flautist. To most of their songs Ray added some great flute components.,and He had a great Welsh voice(as you just heard!) Long live the Moodies !
Favorite Moody Blues song a twin 8 track set from the 70s. Close to wearing it out on pioneer car stereo in my 70 mustang.
same here...but my 8 track was in my 1970 Dodge Dart "Swinger" with 340 engine 4-spd. Hurst shifter + painted "Plum Crazy Purple" feel sorry 4 todays kids today...they have no idea how FUN life was back in the 60's- early 70;s@@carolyncruse3744
What a special song! I remember the first time I heard it, March 20, 1976. The special man I met that night played this...he actually played it a few times throughout the evening!
I was lucky enough to meet Ray several times, he was without doubt one of the nicest men I have ever met
This is for Ann. You came in to my life when it was the darkest. You brought me light, love and hope. You have my heart forever.
All my love.
Dan.
I have an Anne, too. Almost 44 years ago we married. She was and remains my love.
@@joecrew8020 That's beautiful. Hold on to her tightly!
This song is such a classic and so poetic. The Moody Blues are one of best for poetry in music. I just turned 60 and this song still makes my heart sing when I hear it just as I did when I was young......I'm hoping that the "lady" that I'm seeing now will come to love it as much as I. Maybe even become my beloved in time♥️♥️😉
Music that is Better than anything - refreshes the soul.
This absolutely beautiful tune is so much like an old sailor's chantey. Each time I play this tune/video, or other videos set to this sublime tune, I know that I draw nearer to My Eternal Love, My Lady Barbra Rose. I know she hears this from Heaven. To My Lady Barbra Rose - we were meant to be as one - to love each other, heart and soul- long before the oceans rolled out. Barbra, I love you beyond Time. No matter how long it might take for your return, I'll be waiting for you, because, for what is left of my time upon this earth, I will NEVER find a love that is as true; as abiding; as deep; as your love for me. My Eternal Love, My Barbra Rose, I shall forever remain Your Love, Your Champion and Your Husband.
You just described my darling Debbie that I lost two years ago . I can't wait to see her again in heaven , she was my true love of 35 years . I miss her every single day that she's been gone . We both loved The Moody Blues music , just one thing we shared together ❤
I was searching this song for so soo long, I finally found it after many many years , Im so happy right now!!!!!!
You didn't look very hard
One of their better songs amoung some of the best ever recorded. Rarely played
This song is truly a special one to have someone play for you. Every word means so much to me. It will forever more be one of my all time favorites.
A beautiful voice is silenced, RIP Ray
Bobby Cars thank you so much for your comment rest in peace Ray Thomas
This is just about the most tender and romantic song ever. Thank you, Ray Thomas. ❤❤❤
Incredibly beautiful lyrics and music and visuals ❤️
You have fantastic taste in music. And music doesn't come much better than this. Ray Thomas was simply outstanding and graced our senses with the very best in music. My love and admiration for the Moody Blues will never die. And if I am unfortunate to have to go to the funeral of my wonderful wife. I shall remember her with this song.
Seventh Sojourn was a great album to put my headphones on and go to sleep. The songs just flowed together. Lovedit
Probably the most talented group.been listening since they formed.
Ray Thomas was brilliant, beautiful song, great band, a gift to humanity.
Wonderful song by the late Ray Thomas who`s now gone into the cosmic rocker sky, R.I.P :(
What a glorious melody that Ray does it justice in spades. Truly wonderful music
I LOVE THIS SONG! Soooo beautiful..Ray, you are still loved and missed.. .i can listen to the Moody Blues everyday. And now Graeme has passed away...i have loved their music for 50 years when i was just a young teenager.
Veronika: Totally agree with you - NO ONE can compete with the beautiful music the Moody Blues produced thru-out the years. They will always be in our hearts forever. Rest in peace Ray and Gramme - they were and are LOVED by us all.
I was so saddend to hear of the passing of ray.saw the moody and they played thisi was standing in a sllde zone.awesome.rip.
RIP Ray...Thank you for all the beauty you've left behind.
I have so many positive connections from all the people that I have known that love this band. Starting with my first Sunday school teacher. Each and every one of those people hold a special place in my life... in my heart! And I think the bands persona and the positive energy they're music portrays reflects in the people who feel a special connection to they're music. Like most other talented bands but this band feels different & always will.....
Lovely Album...definitely the best if all times. The Magnificent Moodies....God Bless them....
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Today (June 23, 2014) would have been your forty-seventh birthday, My Heavenly-Resplendent Wife, My Matchless Gem from Christ's Crown, My Lady Barbra Rose. This was the FOURTH song I played for you and I after we initially met on Nov. 15, 2008. You truly liked this wondrous song. We had only two years together in this life before cancer stole you away from me (on November 22, 2010). It's almost four years on and I still miss you beyond mere words. Barbra, My Darling-Love, I love you beyond Time. All of Heaven knows it too. I still say, "Happy Birthday to you in Heaven," Barbra.
Walter, Understand that your beloved will always be with you. She may show it in small ways, something may not be where you could swear you left it. There may be times when you are quite comfortable and feel a cold sensation through your body. Know that is her spirit letting you know she's with you. Know that she doesn't want you give up on life or moving on.
The Moodies - in the True Spirit of Art. Thanks Ray. RIP. "All art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies. Again, shining through the mind of a poet, it is seen in fine poetry and poetic prose." ~ Baha'i Writings in The Chosen Highway
Masterpiece!!
Yes...absolutely...no doubt abt it ❤ 😊❤
Truly one the great love songs of all time. Love this song live with the symphony in the back ground on stage at the amphitheater thru out the country
I love this song. R est in peace Ray. You are missed.😢
LOVE this song. I used to get to bring albums to one of my classes in high school and this was the album we listened to so often. Good old days.
This tune has always found a special place within my heart. It's such a sublime love song that reminds me of an old sailor's shanty from the 1800s.
Probably my favorite Ray Thomas song.
What a beautiful song! It means more to me now than it did a half century ago.
A truly magnificient song and video. Thanks for posting this! For us on Valentine's Day 2014. For My Lady, My Heavenly-Resplendent Wife, My Barbra Rose. My Precious Barbra Darling, we were meant to be eternal soul-mates long before the world turned -- long before the seas rolled. I pray and hope that you will be allowed to return from Heaven for me very soon. I miss you beyond mere words. I love you beyond Time. Your champion and still-adoring husband, Walt
I love this song and voice, so beautifull and flowing
+Danny Rowlands So do I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For us, Barbra Rose, on this date (Nov. 15, 2008) when we met for the first time. For our mutual and eternal love. For My Lady (Barbra Rose) -- Rest in peace in Christ's arms. -- Your eternal love, your husband, Walt
Just heard the tragic news. RIP Ray. Artiste extraordinaire.
So many beautiful songs. One of my favorites.

+Richard Sorgman I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He sure will be...
Have loved it ever since i heard it the first time in the middle of the 70. Memories! ❤❤❤
Since seeing them at the legendary Isle of Wight 1970 festival - I've been a lifelong fan. Ray's voice is just so effortlessly beautiful in this simple but heartfelt love song. The "Moody's" have set the background music to my life.
as they have mine.....heartfelt music
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful video!! Listening to Ray Thomas-fronted Moody Blues songs still tears my heart out. What a voice he had, especially on this lovely ballad. May his sweet soul be at peace. Love to you all! Deb xoxo(berrygirl/moodygirl) 6/28/19
The first concert I ever saw was the Moody Blues.......what a wonderful experience and how lucky was i to see them. Thank you for the memories, my friends.
Still have this album nearly 50 years later. The cover's a bit weathered but I've taken care of the record and it has plenty of scratch-free mileage left on it.
amazing xx
For you my dear Polly, Wherever You Are !

B side to 1973 single I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band
I had to play this for Ray and me! R.I.P. A true treasure!
Countless thanks for creating and posting this splendid video. I know My Barbra Rose likes it too!
My friend in high school had to write a poem, so he wrote down the lyrics to this song. The teacher gave him an A plus. She never heard of the Moody Blues. Every time I hear this song, I think of my friend Gene LeBlanc
I call this song the third part of my holy trinity....Along with Lost in a Lost Word...And New Horizons....These can be found on Seventh Sojourn....This world just might do better if they would listen to these songs....I did...Though it did take some time....Here I am today...Alive...Smiling and happy to share with those whom I probably will never meet...Peace & Tranquility...
James Lye Amen brother
amen baby,
@@rockphile4684 Thank you for your kind reply. We will do it brother and the beauty is even though we probably will never meet, you are and will always be within my heart of hearts ~~ Peace and Tranquility
@@johnungate1782 Amen back to you brother. We will do it and even though our paths will never cross, you will always have that special place within my heart of hearts ~~ Peace and Tranquility
Ah I get that
I remember when I was young, in the late 80s, in the country I lived in (Republic of Korea), television stopped broadcasting from around 10 AM until 5:30 or 6 PM. Starting at approximately 5 PM, the screen adjustment period continued for about 30 minutes or an hour. During that time, famous pop songs were always played on television.
At that time, the house was filled with the delicious smell and warmth of dinner being prepared while listening to songs playing on the cathode ray tube television. (Even the smell of ramen being boiled with green onions and kimchi for the whole family is unforgettable) George Baker Selection, Camel, Alan Parsons Project, Bob James, Quincy Jones, and many other pop artists...
This song is also a classic song that brings back memories of that time. If I were to express the feeling of this song simply, it was the feeling of the whole family living happily in a wizard's cabin in the forest. I think the red evening sky and the warmth of the dinner created that feeling. But there is one important fact. Men are much more romantic than women. ❤😊❤
This song says a endless love for a woman with most common words "gently" and "I love you so"
Ray Thomas R.I.P.
If you want Beauty .
This is it.
