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 ❤
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.
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.
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!
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
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!!! 😇🕊🕊
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Their writing is frighteningly beautiful.

Once a Moodies Fan ~ Always a Moodies Fan 😎

Praise God Allelujah
1969 and the first time I heard the Moody Blues. A fan ever since.

You are not alone...🤔👍

Mike Pinder gave so much to the Moody`s.

@Sadly, fighting among/between band mates has been,is,and unfortunately will always be! Like a marriage!mike9086
I love this - 8 minutes of the best music ever written
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

I think they were pure musical geniuses just like the Beatles.
Beautiful
Yeas. This love and beauty can turn any bummer into a beautiful trip.
Peace be with you.

The Moody Blues. The BEST ever. They filled my life with music, memories and peaceful memories.

An early prog classic!!

このオーケストラのサウンドをマイクピンダーのピンダートロンで再現したという
手法は当時、衝撃だった。
Nice work, thank you!
❤❤❤
Oh say something, anything.
