"I'm going to give you a warning about this song." "Bad language?" "No...whistling..." Any synaesthetes in the band? I've known a couple of people who strongly associated music with colours. I applaud Jon for his meagre knowledge of the Moody Blues (with the obvious exception of "Go Now"). Was it the word "forever" which triggered his thought of Justin Hayward? Not really my taste either, but I enjoyed this; and it sounds like part of a concept they wanted to write about, not thought they should. A Canadian friend taught me a game called Beer Hunter. Any number can play, but the rules for two are the most easily explained. The players equip themselves with at least a sufficient quantity of beer. Player A leaves the room, and Player B gives one or more cans a damgud shake. The players then exchange places, and Player A shuffles the cans. Drinking then proceeds in the usual manner, with the proviso that each can must be opened directly under the player's nose. Keeping score is inadvisable.
I've found when anything comes close to "prog" it's best to give Jon a fair warning. Oil and water those two, well, except for when they're not. Apparently all those rules go out the window when it comes to a musical version of War of the Worlds. Who knew?
@@theaudiophiles7889I like bits of Van Der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill solo and the odd Yes and Genesis song, but, I love Cardiacs who were massively influenced by prog and Rock in Opposition, but made those influences more palatable to me with a dose of whimsy, the absurd and a lot of punk attitude.
"Any synaesthetes in the band? I've known a couple of people who strongly associated music with colours." The band put out a album called "The Color Spectrum" with just that idea.
Too pretty for my taste. As the late Dadaist. Jazz pianist Misha Mengelberg said: 'I think I always have felt it like this. That it is the ugliness in the music that is attractive. Ugliness has in it the promise of more ugliness.' Thanks for the song!
Pleasant listening, was an enjoyable song, cheers all!
