More than 30 years has elapsed since The Moody Blues
entered the music scene. Without doubt, their innovative
and ground-breaking album "Days of Future Passed" which was
released in 1966, must be the one of the best classic-rock
albums of all time. The album stayed on the Billboard
charts for over two years and marked a milestone in rock
history as one of the very first concept albums, recorded
not only with a symphony orchestra but also in stereo, both
uncharted territory at that time.
Days was the catalyst that catapulted the Moodies onwards
and into the realms of pop history. Not for this band the
straightjacket of musical constraints. They all decided at
an early stage that they would be true to themselves by
creating and developing their own music and they h More...
Review about Moody Blues Who is he? | Reviewer: Jimmy
------ About the song The Balance performed by Moody Blues
He is you. He is me. He is the one the Moody Blues always wrote about. It is the same central figure over and over. Always coming back to this moment. Always bringing us home. Continually weaving back and forth from humaness to the collective spirit of us all.
I love when words to songs are so impactful that we are touched without knowing why.
Enemies | Reviewer: Michael
------ About the song The Balance performed by Moody Blues
This is good advice, but as an author, if one really depicts enemies (criminals) like onto oneself, their book will be censored. Showing them with a sense of humor, valor, kindness, honor and love is viewed as "glorifying" them. People prefer the myth that all criminals are primitive brutes with the back of their knuckles dragging on the ground... unless they are vampires, of course, which is okay.

------ About the song Nights In White Satin performed by Moody Blues
This has always been my favourite song. I remember memorising the lyrics, which had been taken from the French magazine "Salut Les Copins" while walking to high school in 1967 in Morocco (I was 17). Rabat RTM had always played the top hits. I still listen to Nights In White Satins" at home and in my car.
As for The Jellyrolls story mentioned in a Review above, it's someting new to me. I don't believe it.

------ About the song Forever Autumn performed by Moody Blues
I loved this song from the first time I heard it. Always been a HUGE Moody Blues fan, but this song touches me in a way no other song can. It is a true LOVE song in rememberence of a lost loved one, well, that is my take on it anyway.

------ About the song Go Now performed by Moody Blues
this song, in my opinion, sounds so different from nights in white satin and tuesday afternoon(the extended version).i heard it over the radio and had no idea that it was the blues singing the song. ha, what a delightful surprise, indeed.

------ About the song Nights In White Satin performed by Moody Blues
This song was never sung by The Jellyrolls. That's a bunch of crap. Stop spreading lies and read up on some rock history. Hell, even Wikipedia comments on the rumors you're spreading. He wrote it at 19 which is an impressive feat.
another gem by the Moody Blues | Reviewer: FRLE93
------ About the album The Present performed by Moody Blues
I don't know how this album fits in the Moody Blues carreer, if it is better or less than the previous or the next one, all I know is I love all songs;
beautiful music, arrangments, moving lyrics;
I particularly appreciate the presence of Patrick Moraz whose sounds (Blue World, Sitting at the Wheel) creativity brilliance and musical magic particularly fit the Moody Blues music.
Voices and guitars are superb, romantic songs or energy loaded ones, all is pure enjoyment.
I have owned this album since it was published, and although I had a very hard time finding the CD (I live in France and was very lucky to find it in Atlanta airport some day ) I always have the same pleasure listening to it.

------ About the song Nights In White Satin performed by Moody Blues
hayward was not in his 20's when they claimed he wrote this.he was 19.
and the fact is he didn't even write it in the first place!they pulled a paul mc.and took credit for someone else's work!
there are still some of us alive that recall the song being sung by the jellyrolls way before the moody blues put it out!!!!!!!
Time and Again | Reviewer: Colette Marie
------ About the song Forever Autumn performed by Moody Blues
There are few songs that I can listen to over and over, this is one of them. the Moody blues have an exceptional sound that soothes all levels of ache and pain. This song does that for me. It expresse through sound and lyric what i can't express myself. I will always adore the message it gives, and will never forget what it has meant to me.

SO OFTEN SONGS COME AND GO WITH NO REAL RECOGNITION. THIS IS ONE, HOPEFULLY, WITH THE PRODUCTION OF TIME TRAVELLER SET, MANY MORE WILL COME TO KNOW AND LOVE THIS SONG. A GREAT BALLAD AND LYRICS, THAT ALL WHO HAVE SUFFERED A LOSS CAN RELATE TO.
Classic | Reviewer: Christopher
------ About the song Nights In White Satin performed by Moody Blues
Nights In White Satin has stood the test of time 40 years after it was first released. It still sounds as fresh today as it must have sounded in 1967. I still marvel how Justin Hayward who was only in his early 20's when he wrote the composition, managed to achieve such song writing excellence and depth at such a young age. Much the same can be said about Graeme Edge, then also in his twenties, who wrote the poetry following the song.
"Nights" has also been translated and recorded in different languages. Mario Frangoulis, famed Greek tenor has done a version of it with Justin and one can find it on Youtube or Google it for other web sites.
Night In White Satin is a classic song that continues to hold the test of time.
One must wonder, shall I ever exoerience true love in my life? The question is a good one but has no answer unless an answer or a territory of answers exist. Listen to tthe Moody Blues, experience the sweet tenderness of Justin Hayward and the others in the band. If this music does not move you, in an important way,then do not be discouraged. Yes, it is true that this music in rightfully considered the most romantic and genuinely so perhaps ever written. But fear not, your tune may be elsewhere for all the same, deep reasons....
The first time I heard this song, I thought it would be a great song to be played at a wedding. When I married, it was the song to which my (future)husband and I walked into the room. It made the day since it certainly was the greatest moment of them all.
Wow - what an awesome song. My favourite love song since I was a little girl. Listening to it full volume lying in the dark in soul refreshing!

------ About the song 22,000 Days performed by Moody Blues
Jeez, that's only 60 years, give or take a couple days. If it were my song it'd have been 24,000 days - that comes to 65 years. They must have had hard paper routes! Or maybe they did some of the really good stuff back in thier heyday of the 1960's! All kidding aside, this is a fantastic song and one that really does make one think about .................it all
A though on this song's meaning | Reviewer: Blue Coyote
------ About the song Highway performed by Moody Blues
Although these lryics differ slightly from the ones I transcribe off the song many years ago, I still mantain that this song is a conversation between man and the Creator.
Deeply Touching | Reviewer: Ryan
------ About the song Forever Autumn performed by Moody Blues
This song brings me to tears all the time. It touches a very sore spot. The vocals is just perfect, the music as well.
I rarely give a song a 10 rating (10 being the best) and this gets it. A solid 10.

On Graham Edge's brief tale of enlightenment. | Reviewer: roy dieckman
------ About the song The Balance performed by Moody Blues
Who is "he"? Just a man seeking and finding enlightenment? Thats what someone said to me once. I always thought of him as a caveman getting the first flash of humanity. Whatever. Obviously "he" can be whoever you want him to be. I always thought this was one of the most profound set of lyrics I ever heard or read anywhere. Funny that the music for it was very mediocre by the standards set in the three preceeding albums, which is some of the greatest music recorded in pop/rock history, in my opinion. Musically it was the worst song on the album, more of a recitation than anything. But my god, those lyrics. I just looked this up to see what I was leaving out while I was trying to remember the whole thing. I left out "and the stars". Now I think I have it commited to memory..
