What a masterpiece! This music makes one believe in the existence of anything that's good in this world.
This has been my first proper exposure of SB over the last few days, and I've come to the conclusion that "My Shoes" is my favourite thing I've heard from the album. This entire album has been pretty fantastic but My Shoes stands out to me most. I've got a lot of catching up to do
A friend had dropped this CD off the summer of '99 and I was taken aback. Being a YES/Genesis disciple these guys were there 100%. I couldn't stop listening to this album. Like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Haven't had that feeling again to date.
+Kevin Tucker Did you get the same 'feeling' when you heard V?
Kevin Tucker Or Snow?
xpjd Close! Definitely with "At the End of the day".
can't get it wrong
The harmonies in The Healing Colors of Sound pt. 2 are absolutely beautiful. Showed it to a friend who doesn't even really listen to prog and now he's hooked on them.
One of my favorite songs ever! So glad I got to see this band many years ago in D.C.
Genesis, Yes, Flower Kings, Bearded Spock, Neal Morse & Transatlantic & my fave Moon Safari (Awesome harmonies)
Not a super big fan of Moon Safari but I like the others. You should check out Magic Pie too(especially their epic 20 minute track "change").

My ears can see now!
Melt the ice by summer
Turn the grass from green to gold
Live the greatest story ever told
Don't mess the sacred mother
If things go wrong
Hey, it's all right
But don't kid yourself
I know what you'd really like
You'd like to be in my shoes
Wouldn't you now
Wouldn't you now
You'd like to be in my shoes
Wouldn't you now
Wouldn't you now
Melt the ice by summer
Send the critics down to NBC
'Cause I'm the will
Of the world that's about to be
And you'd like to be in my shoes
Wouldn't you now
Wouldn't you now
You'd like to be in my shoes
Wouldn't you now
Wouldn't you now
[III. Mommy Comes Back]
A baby was born in a small town yesterday
He's a magical child with a cosmic death ray
But his mother always wanted to play
Such a long way down
But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
And she never will forget me now
The baby grows up
And soon becomes a kid
Spends his whole life explaining
The things that his mother did
Then they say she went
And drowned
Such a long way down
But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
And she never will forget me now
When she came up
She'd looked better
"Look, dear, I made you a sweater"
Now it's all done
They live up in Monticello
With some pizza pockets
Some papers and a case of mello-yellow
But don't go in celloe - such a long way
Run when you hear the cello
You're in for a long stay
Hey, hey
But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
And she never will forget me now
[IV. Lay It Down]
Children yet to be born
Don't you mourn me now
'Cause the crows are in the corn
Lay it down, lay it down
Old man's on his porch
His house burning down
When he passes you his torch
Lay it down, lay it down
And the young man comes
To beat his drums
And the old man sings
'Here it comes, here it comes'
And Newsweek's featured
Everyone by now
Lay it down, lay it down now
Lay it down
We built this house of cards
We can tear it down
When it hurts don't take it hard
Lay it down, lay it down
And the wildman brings
His wild man things
While the press keeps
Pressing on the pressure king
And the drums are beating
Everywhere by now
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down
[V. The Healing Colors of Sound Part 2]
One man said in sign
Don't you want to feel O.K.?
And the sighted man said to the blind
Don't you look at me that way again
Don't you look at me that way again
So they shared a glass of wine
And they started to feel O.K. again
Then one said one more time
Said 'Don't you see there's now way to win
Don't you see there's no way you can win'
But you can turn around to the healing colors of sound
Just turn around to the healing colors of sound
Old man's ship won't sail
Don't you think they've failed by now?
You can't just turn your tail
No, you can't go home that way again
No, you can't go home that way again
But you can turn around to the healing colors of sound
Just turn around to the healing colors of sound
But you can turn around to the healing colors of sound
Just turn around to the healing colors of sound
[VI. My Shoes (Revisited)]
Melt the ice by summer
Turn the grass from green to gold
Live the greatest story ever told
And you'd like to be in my shoes
Wouldn't you now
Wouldn't you now
[VII. Urban Noise]
[Instrumental]
Always love the nod to Hap Palmers "Mommy comes back" in this tune
One of my top 5 tunes to listen to ever. (the whole suite with mommy comes back, etc...)
that one is a MUST .. anyone who wouldn't have listened to this earlier just go ahead otherwise you won't be able to call yourself a progressive rock enthusiast any longer.
brings me back to my younger years .. amazing !
This is great. SB is one of the best bands ever!
Love this epic.
That album cover is awesome. It looks like a classic Hipgnosis by the master himself, Storm Thorgeson. RIP
Day For Night was my introduction to Spock's Beard. On several tracks i instantly heard what they were trying to do. It's a great release but with songs like Gypsy which to me is the first country/prog song ever and Distance To The Sun ( I love both songs ) it's understandable how it went under the radar especially coming after a release like TKOS which kicks major ass. Keep progging,progocto!

I m waiting of the new Album.
I have The Light and the new Noise Floor
This album was the first thing I had ever heard from Spock's Beard, back when it was new. Somebody sent me an MP3 of "Crack the Big Sky" over AIM (remember that?), and I purchased the album immediately. They remain my second favorite band to this day, behind only Genesis. These guys are amazing. Oh, and post-Neal SB doesn't exist. True story. You can't convince me otherwise. Stop trying. I tried, I really did, but they sucked after he left. He truly was the soul of the band, and the genius behind the writing. His solo stuff has it's moments for sure, but it's not the same. The real magic came when he played with the other guys in the Beard. Nothing lasts forever, I guess.
I watched them in my home town yesterday. Ted Leonard on lead vocals. He was fantastic. Neal is a great musician but I can promise you that SB are just as incredible now as they always have been. In fact, the audience seemed to respond even better to some of the newer songs.
+kingcrimson234 You may be interested in Morsefest 2016! Neal is regathering ALL of the Spocks Beard alumni and will be performing Snow and other SB material over two nights.

Jim Schaubroeck That sounds awesome... I'm in St. Louis so about a 6 or 7 hour drive away from where that will be. I might just go! Thanks for the info!
They're definitely different after Neal left but I have to disagree with you. The Neal era is the most solid but the Nick and Ted era have some of my favorite songs of all time on them. it's not the same but have two spocks albums ever been quite the same? this is worlds from the light or tKoS. Snow is miles apart from BoD. Not saying you should give them a chance but the soul of the band is still there and it isn't in one person and if it ever was that still wouldn't be one but three people: Alan, Dave and Ryo
X is the best album they have released. The Morse stuff is good, but X is top tier.
Honestly I prefer jazz to prog...but how people dislike this... I don't get it...i need captain to lead my way in prog...want to learn it...
... Incredible ... Frickin' LOVE it! ...
"Abbey Road" album second side, thirty years later :)
j'adore !!!
Yo dejé el prog (en España se llamaba rock sinfónico, chúpate esa) tras la salida del Red de KC. No deja de ser gracioso descubrir que décadas después había chavales que se sabían sus discos de memoria...
Neal's voice always makes me get goose bumps. Totally beautiful.
pretty sounds!
Rock Progresivo Sinfónico¡¡¡
Quality sound.
I got this cd for christmas from my sister, and it is a great listen, you can tell that the beard were trying to fit into the mainstream somehow on this album, which unfortunately didn't work out, but it also somewhat affected the quality of the album, which is why many this album doesn't have as much attention. However they did massively improve this on V, (one of Neal's highest points in his career in my opinion.) But this album is a great beard album, along with tkos, and bod. prog on! :)
SPETTACOLO!
Only 504 likes with over 75.000 play? WTF!?
Wondering if this will ever finally make it to Spotify 😢
Everything with Neal is on the waterfall app. He probably declined anything to do with Spotify because of trying to push Waterfall, but one could only hope
I like.
That insane wah-wah at 11:15 -- why would anyone want to hear that post-1970?
same thing with the hammond organ :)
Synaesthetes represent!
As soon as Neal was gone so was any semblance of 'spock's" ..... oh well lol
ЗВУКОСМАЧНО
Me at the end of this song: righteous
They need to rerelease their first four albums with better cover art. Its really not doing the music justice
잇힝
