THE MOODY BLUES are an English rock band. They first came to prominence playing rhythm and blues music, but their second album, Days of Future Passed, which was released in 1967, was a fusion of rock with classical music and established them as It has been described as a "landmark" and "one of the first pioneers in the development of art rock and progressive rock.successful concept albums". They became known internationally with singles including "Go Now", "Nights in White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Question". They have been awarded 18 platinum and gold discs. Their album sales total 70 million. As of 2015 they remain active with one member from the original 1964 band (drummer Graeme Edge) and two more from the 1966 lineup (bassist John Lodge and lead singer and guitarist Justin Hayward).

A Question of Balance
Although the Moodies had by now defined a somewhat psychedelic style and helped to define the progressive rock (then also known as 'art rock') sound, the group decided to record an album that could be played in concert, losing some of their full-blown sound for A Question of Balance (1970). This album, reaching No. 3 in the American charts and No. 1 in the British charts, was indicative of the band's growing success in America. Incidentally, it seems to have been one of the first rock albums broaching the issue of ecology (e.g. line: We'll spoil the seas with the rivers we've lost, from Edge's "Don't You Feel Small"). Hayward's "Question" (in a differing version) was issued as a single hitting No. 2 in the UK (only kept from the top spot by the England World Cup football team's novelty record "Back Home"). Justin Hayward began an artful exploration of guitar tone through the use of numerous effects pedals and fuzzboxes and developed for himself a very melodic buzzing guitar-solo sound. The Moody Blues had by now become a bill-topping act in their own right. They appeared twice at the famous Isle of Wight Festival (A DVD of their 1970 performance has now been released). Pinder's "Melancholy Man" (a No. 1 single in France) stood out beside Hayward's "Question" on the 1970 album.
MELANCHOLY MAN - THE MOODY BLUES - TRADUÇÃO
HOMEM MELANCÓLICO
Eu sou um homem melancólico, que é o que eu sou
Todo o mundo que me rodeia, e os meus pés estão no chão
Eu sou um homem muito solitário, fazendo o que posso
Todo o mundo me surpreende e eu acho que entendo
Isso nós vamos continuar crescendo, esperar e ver
Quando todas as estrelas estão caindo
No mar e na terra
E vozes iradas levar pelo vento
Um feixe de luz vai encher a sua cabeça
E você vai se lembrar o que foi dito
Por todos os homens de bem deste mundo já conheceu
Outro homem é o que você vai ver
Quem olha como você e se parece comigo
mas de alguma forma ele não vai sentir o mesmo
Sua vida preso na miséria, ele não pensa como eu e você. Caus
'ele não pode ver o que você e eu posso ver
