  • Question
    Music by The Moody Blues:
    From their album Question of Balance
    A Question of Balance, launched in 1970, is the sixth album by The Moody Blues. The album was an attempt by the group to strip down their nicely-recognized lush, psychedelic sound so as to have the ability to better carry out the songs in concert. So as to have the ability to play as many new songs as attainable from their new album live, the group decided (temporarily) to desert their methodology of heavy overdubbing for A Question of Balance.
    Released in 1970, the album reached 1 in the United Kingdom and 3 in the United States.
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    With a thousand million questions
    About hate and death and war.
    It's where we stop and look around us
    There is nothing that we need.
    In a world of persecution
    That is burning in it's greed.
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    Because the truth is hard to swallow
    That's what the wall of love is for.
    It's not the way that you say it
    When you do those things to me.
    It's more the way that you mean it
    When you tell me what will be.
    And when you stop and think about it
    You won't believe it's true.
    That all the love you've been giving
    Has all been meant for you.
    I'm looking for someone to change my life.
    I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
    And if you could see what it's done to me
    To lose the the love I knew
    Could safely lead me through.
    Between the silence of the mountains
    And the crashing of the sea
    There lies a land I once lived in
    And she's waiting there for me.
    But in the grey of the morning
    My mind becomes confused
    Between the dead and the sleeping
    And the road that I must choose.
    I'm looking for someone to change my life.
    I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
    And if you could see what it's done to me
    To lose the the love I knew
    Could safely lead me to
    The land that I once knew.
    To learn as we grow old
    The secrets of our souls.
    It's not the way that you say it
    When you do those things to me.
    It's more the way you really mean it
    When you tell me what will be.
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    With a thousand million questions
    About hate and death and war.
    It's where we stop and look around us
    There is nothing that we need.
    In a world of persecution
    That is burning in it's greed.
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?

    This version is the absolutely best I have seen. The video is Brilliant. DO NOT DARE even think about deleting it. I went through it recently so I know for sure. Some nations have very strict copyright laws so anything not 'official' is blocked there. RUclips allows the MUSICAL CONTENT OWNER (Moody Blues in this case) to require a 'delete' if they don't like it. If you get 3 force-deletes on a channel, RUclips shuts down the channel (in theory). U got No Problem ! Keep them coming!

    There are Many restrictions that YouTupe has placed on all my videos. So I am never making money from my videos but there are some people that viewed it this way!!! There are restrictions that the Laws in other counties put on where people from those places cannot view my videos.
    I make videos for one reason primary...for the people- anyone that remember these timeless classics. I also honor the creators and performers/artists.

I want you and everyone else to enjoy the videos attached to a song that has been heard so many generations and for future to come!

    Its not the way that say it when you do those things to me. It is the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be. And if you knew what it means to me to lose the land i knew you would safely lead me through. Back to the land that i lived for. Goodby London Towne. Paraphrase. Thanks Justin....

    Your The Sound of Music: Climb Every Mountain has a is full ad like you are Partnered with RUclips. Your Higher And Higher~Eyes of a Child, Eternity Road, Floating + + have AdSense ads.
    Some of your video are blocked in the USA and just read "contains content from UMG. It is not available in your country". I'm glade you made these videos, they are very enjoyable.

    @ledburnerss 12 лет назад

    @EssentialDegnities You've actually been lucky only having Google stick their own ads on just some of your videos. Each time I put a song on my videos they send me a warning something about song rites and they jump on it with an ad to make profits for themselves. I was told that they have automatic song detection analyzers that run the video and detect songs. I don't know if this is true or not.
    We are just so lucky to have a free web storage / share site.

  • @ledburnerss
    @ledburnerss 12 лет назад

    Hi Jeff, Google puts AdSence space on videos with music whether we like it or not
    As with anything when something you love becomes revenue based like Fishing or Photography or Fossil hunting or RUclips, the fun goes away. I did it for the fun then I had hopes of a little money. Then Google for no reason twisted my heart disableing my AdSence. I was sad for weeks and felt like I wanted to stop making videos. If you need revenue do ads, if not don't, let them run uninterupted free from ads:-)

  • @EssentialDegnities
    @EssentialDegnities  12 лет назад

    @ledburnerss I wish there is a way to turn off the ads because as you said it destroys the mood to the song and video

  • @SunriseLAW
    @SunriseLAW 12 лет назад

    This video artwork is the very best I have seen on RUclips. EssentialDegnities is uniquely talented. To be polite, I will often make the usual gratuitous comments. But when it is REALLY special to me like this, I must be sure the Artist knows. This is far beyond 'professional quality'. The 'pros' have good video production but no soul. I tried to do 'Eternity Road' (SunriseLAW) but mine is like bad Kindergarten art when compared to yours. Maybe do Eternity Road next ?

  • @SunriseLAW
    @SunriseLAW 12 лет назад

    It is STANDARD. Every vid you load that matches content... you get the message. It is RUclips's CYA message. See...making these Art Videos IS TECHNICALLY illegal. However... the Artist rarely objects but they COULD. That is why U get the notice. I loaded a version of "Through the Eyes of a Child" that contained the NAME of a non-public, non-related LAWFIRM. The LAWFIRM force-deleted they did not want their name in my vid!!! Create. POST. Thanks !

  • @EssentialDegnities
    @EssentialDegnities  12 лет назад

    @brianprince100 Hi Brian...well if they do that...I will delete this video off of Google and put it on my ZippCast or Vimeo Account....This video will black out soon and all of my fans will be angry

    Me too. Distracting Ads distroy the mood you and I try to share with the world. Your videos are a natural rush. The kind of rush that I have found to be the healthiest kind of rush. Please see my garden videos where I share the growing secrets I've discovered through my lifetime of trial and error in growing food for my family.
