When I enter the other side of life, I told my husband and kids I want this played at my funeral. I’ve always felt this song is like the journey to the other side ❤

I put in my earbuds and found a comfortable place to sit in the dark to experience this: What spiritual state of being: understanding: This is Spiritual Oneness Freedom and freedom embracing Spiritual Truth as such... One world, one existence: Spiritual synchrony materialized... HalleluYah!!! 😇🕊🕊
NEW YEAR'S DAY, 2022: I looked for, found, and NEEDED this song today! Memories of needing healing: for my soul, my brain, my heart and our WORLD...THANK YOU!! 💔😥
This track, and this album, my therapy as a boy when things weren't going well. And now, not having heard this in all those years, my therapy today. Thank you.
Of course it is a personal thing. With the passage of time I find this growing as a favorite Moody song. The composition of Mike Pinder stands up to the passage of time. I find it as relevant today as when it was written. Mellotronic.
A friend and i spent a day with the drummer, he was definitely a follower of Jesus and not preaching but just interested in our wellbing our souls... i remember him and his careing words, about new life and Jesus, and him saying :"Ill stay here as long as it takes if you will come.." That was in 1977. I am sure he planted seeds in my herart then,... Now I am a lover of Jesus and follow Him and His WORD, evident in these lyrics and many of their songs!
This was a go to song in 1986+. The lyrics. A look down life’s hallways. Doorways to lead you there. As a premed student in mid 80s this music was so gold to me. Practicing medicine now almost 30 yrs. Thank you moody blues.
Anyone else here in Australia remember a DJ in Sydney named Phil Haldeman who played this entire album on his show I think on 2CH, claiming it was compulsive listening. ❤❤
The Moody Blues. have the distinction - for me anyway - of having 5 really excellent albums, now CDs. Groups are lucky to have just one song that good. No group can match that, maybe not even the Beatles.
I have always felt this song was the progression of someone going through a trip and the singer is the guild bringing the person back, knowledge of the psychological changes that were made to the traveler's personality during the trip.
Yes, but he left them and because he did not want to tour sued them to try and stop them continuing with the group name - despite the presence of 2 other original members
"On The Threshold of A Dream" is at the top of my favorite albums list. I will have to give it a hearing tonight now that I've heard some here. Except on the radio, or like this video, I always listen to the whole album. If ever an album was made to be taken as a whole, this is it. For me this album is a masterpiece.
In my opinion, this is the album where they really got a little more depth to their pleasantness, which gave a more satisfying experience to the listener, if you know what I mean.
Mike Pinder’s writing ,vocals and playing were as good as it gets. E.g. if not for Mike’s intro to Nights in White Satin, even Justin Hayward has said it wouldn’t the song it became.
It's really more Psychedelic than anything,but an early inspiration for the genre. In the same way that The Velvet Underground,The Deviants,Love, and NEU! probably inspired Punk Rock Bands or bands like Cream,Hendrix Experience,and Steppenwolf (and let's be honest Ted Nugent) likely inspired most Heavy Metal I imagine a lot of Prog Rock was directly influenced by them alongside ofc Pink Floyd.
Fans know Pinder is the most important member so even though the others really strangely keep trying to diminish the fans don’t buy it. Pinder was not just the sound of the band but also composed of many of the most profound works. “Have You Heard” (both of the two parts) are 100% the work of Pinder and the most exploratory song on the OTTOTD album.
@mike9086 0 seconds ago Yes, but he left them and because he did not want to tour sued them to try and stop them continuing with the group name - despite the presence of 2 other original members. Hayward (OBE) by far the most important member. Pinder did hardly anything on his own after he left- 1 decent track on an otherwise awful album - and then no more.
Sadly a lot of contempory bands of the day dismissed the music and Pinder specifically for the use of the mellotran considering it not an instrument so not legit. I couldnt disagree more but just saying what i've heard. The Moodies are the best band ever, other really great ones but none make me feel or take my soul to where can.
Someone don t like it !! The lp that établished thé moodies as top noch of progressive music ...!!!any virtuosô other than pinder able toô play it on a mellotron mk2 ????
Loved the Moody Blues for about 55 years (or earlier, since first hearing Nights in White Satin, not their earlier hit Go Now!). Didn’t realize the somewhat-subtle Christian/Jesus references until later, especially when hearing how deeply christian Mike Pinder was (and some of the others were/are ). Personally, not thrilled at all with the Christian references (subtle, or otherwise) threaded through some of the lyrics, like here in Mike Pinder’s work, or like in Seventh Sojourn, in some of John Lodge’s songs, etc. I just try to ignore or re-imagine these spots in the lyrics. Not a fan of Jesus, or the religion.
The more I listen to the Moodies, I think they were way ahead of their time.
🎉
There is a band that were ahead of their time ❤ !!!
When I enter the other side of life, I told my husband and kids I want this played at my funeral. I’ve always felt this song is like the journey to the other side ❤
A GREAT THOUGHT / ALSO WHEN I AM HAVING A BAD DAY JUST PLAY ANY MOODY SONG AND IT GOES AWAY
agreed. i just made the same decision.

Once a Moodies Fan ~ Always a Moodies Fan 😎
YES*************
WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR 70"S = ON YOUR BIRTHDAY PLAY SOME MOODYS YOU WILL BE IN YOUR 20"S AGAIN = NO "DO IT EVERY DAY" 11/28/24

as such...
One world, one existence: Spiritual synchrony materialized...
HalleluYah!!!

NEW YEAR'S DAY, 2022: I looked for, found, and NEEDED this song today! Memories of needing healing: for my soul, my brain, my heart and our WORLD...THANK YOU!! 💔😥
Their writing is frighteningly beautiful.
1969 and the first time I heard the Moody Blues. A fan ever since.
This track, and this album, my therapy as a boy when things weren't going well. And now, not having heard this in all those years, my therapy today. Thank you.
You are not alone...🤔👍

Mike Pinder. Such an inspired musician to give us this piece of jewelry.
I think they were pure musical geniuses just like the Beatles.
A friend and i spent a day with the drummer, he was definitely a follower of Jesus and not preaching but just interested in our wellbing our souls... i remember him and his careing words, about new life and Jesus, and him saying :"Ill stay here as long as it takes if you will come.."

Wow...

Graeme Edge? Hmmmm

MIKE PINDER , magnifique ....avec une superbe partie de MELLOTRON !......
I love this - 8 minutes of the best music ever written
The Moody Blues. The BEST ever. They filled my life with music, memories and peaceful memories.

agreed!!!! i'm ready for a trip again after hearing this again after 50 years.
Genius Mr. Mike pinder!
Mike Pinder gave so much to the Moody`s.
Yes, but he left them and because he did not want to tour sued them to try and stop them continuing with the group name - despite the presence of 2 other original members
Sadly,fighting among band members has been,is, and will unfortunately be in the fiutute!@@mike9086

Deep within the recesses of grandpa's mind.
Yeas. This love and beauty can turn any bummer into a beautiful trip.
Peace be with you.

What a great video to go with a Mike Pinder's beautiful music from Threshold of a Dream
Excellent compilation, I appreciate it.

An early prog classic!!
