Why do I always have this incredible feeling of inner peace each time after listening to the Moody Blues?

[@coreyculbertson5036]

Their music is very calming.

[@waynesworld7804]

Me too!

[@clare1061]

Their music is pure genius so mellow yet up beat. There is no other band quite like them, I could just close my eyes lay my head back and listen to the Moody blues all night long.

[@joebaroni5985]

Ladies and gentlemen.... the Moody Blues

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

@@clare1061 I have insomnia, so I do!

[@Johnathansyt]

My father raised me on the Moodies and in his final moments, the Moodies played him out. They will always have a special place in my heart. I love and miss you dad every day. Thank you for the time we shared on this earth.

[@violetjm]

Beautiful comment...

[@amberandrews6842]

I played the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd, for my daddy.

Bless you and love sent! I always loved them too and I am 72. They sent me out hitch-hiking with Tuesday Afternoon.

I adore the Moodies.

The Moody Blues were always "futuristic" and ahead of their times. Bless them for eternity.

Was singing along every word!! Love this band, Forever a Moodys fan ♡♡

[@chuckmontoya8882]

I was singing along as well,knew every line. Such a happy toe tapping song.

You should never be surprised by these guys! TOP SHELF!! Always...

[@Fnipernackle]

I love the Moody Blues. So good yet so underrated.

[@billtaylor3382]

64 yo guy here and have loved this band since the 60's

[@marlenejohnson5461]

I’ve loved their songs since I was a teenager and I’m 71 yrs old now and they are still one of my most favorite bands.

[@keithjones7390]

I'm 71 as well, I've also enjoyed their wonderful music for so many years. I've got a few of their later albums following Seventh Sojourn, but they are not as good as their early work. It doesn't get any better than New Horizons for me, my favourite Moodies song.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Bravo to the person who put the video together, quite beautiful.

[@johncheney950]

I grew up listening to the Moodys. They can really put a tale to music. No one like them. One of my favorite bands. I was fortunate to see them twice.

[@pattiehernandez769]

Hollywood bowl ... great concert. my favorite band, have all their music. my favorite song " the actor "

[@mpatrickthomas]

I saw them in St Louis in October '81.They were fantastic.

[@Ralf09]

Me too, exactly. Saw they twice too.❤

I love the Moody Blues and every thing about them. Go Now is one of my favourites.

[@pattiehernandez769]

" the actor " is my favorite of theirs

[@amberandrews6842]

Gypsy. Eyes of a Child. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChuckHackney]

The Moody Blues music has always been among my favorite of the modern music era. Moody(no oun intended), bluesy, progressive, symphonic, ethereal, spacey, otherwordliness...take these diff tunes...Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, Just A Singer ( in a rock n roll band), No More Lies, Forever Autumn ( yes, I know, Justin on his own). Nothing sounds like them and in the early days light years ahead if it's time. Light years. Only the Moodies thought to incorporate symphonic music and deep poetry into an album (Days of Future Passed). So..."Breathe deep the gathering gloom my fellow music lovers. For a cold hearted orb rules the nite, hides the colors from our site. Red is grey, yellow, white. BUT WE DECIDE WHICH IS RIGHT. AND WHICH IS AN ALLUSION." Brilliance without parallel from the Moody Blues!!!!! 9:14

[@wlodell]

Your musical reviews of the Moody Blues are introspective with the right kind of focus and analysis. Thank you. I first heard the Moody Blues in 1971 and I saw them in concert at the Baltimore Civic Ctr, Baltimore, MD in the Fall ‘72 (Mike Pinder was still on board), and once more in 2014 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, Ray Thomas had retired, but Norda Mullen did well in his place. Moody Blues music always intrigued me, added to my sense of intuition, calmed me, made me more thoughtful, yet more aware. The music even facilitated my first serious approach (years ago) to the study of philosophy. ‘Voices’ is no different. I am a western Christian male, a friend of Israel, a retired U.S. Army warfighter, retired educator, a world traveler, a failed husband and a Dad who spent too much away from home. Adding to what I already said, the music of the Moody Blues is of the highest quality for helping me keep my sanity during the dark moments, and for keeping alcohol and drugs at considerable distance.

[@oldairyheir]

Classic gold! Thanks, Harri!

[@chrisjenkins6120]

Justin Hayward plays a fine, fine, fine guitar. John Lodge is a fantastic bass man. Together they sing like angels.

[@SweetThing]

1980's Moodies! Lovvvvvvvvvveeeeeee it!!

[@kylewoolsey6635]

I didn’t grow up with their classic albums. This song was my introduction back in 81. Still love it.

[@denniswatson455]

Harri, you nailed it....their overall theme has always been about the journey within seeking peace. They managed to convey this from the 60's thru their various changes into the 90's. Individual members still occasionally tour, like Justin Hayward...been listening since the 60's and still love the music and message. Thanks for your reaction, please keep it up.

[@wallacecallow2255]

John Lodge is also touring, I believe.

[@RonHammers]

Yes, it's about your inner voice, self-confidence, letting go of the past, and creating your future.

[@SheenaRea]

Very nice reaction.. I LOVE this song. They have another one, deep... Called "Question" Very good stuff. Thanks Harri!

[@suemontague3151]

"Nights In White Satin " is one of their best IMO

[@marlenejohnson5461]

My all time favorite song!

[@cindyguillard216]

Love It So Much; It Was The Song I Chose For "The First Dance" At My Wedding Reception. ❤💗❤

[@kivimik]

I had gone to see Justin perform back in May. During the show, he told a little story about the song. During the writing and recording of it, he couldn't decide on a title, simply giving it a number (which he didn't specify but as it's the opening track of Long Distance Voyager, it's probably #1). He was indecisive about it right up until the album labels were about to be printed. The technician told him, "This is your last chance." Maybe feeling a little premonition, he had the wherewithal to bring the song's lyrics with him. He took a hard look at the lyrics, and the line "the voice within" stood out. He finally turned to the guy and told him to call it "The Voice." Sometimes even the artist can struggle with the meaning of their works, but serendipity can bring out a moment of clarity.

[@Batfemme639]

I like what you said, that the voice within can lead you (or us) to change the world outside you, which it absolutely can.

[@justineapril7922]

"The Voice" is the opening tune off of the 1981 album, 'Long Distance Voyager' which was a #1 record. Another beautiful song from the masterful Justin Hayward. The album features new keyboardist, Patrick Moraz, who joined the band after original member Mike Pinder quit the group shortly after the Moody Blues released the 1978 album, 'Octave.' I was lucky enough to see them for the first time in 1981. Outstanding show!! ✌😊

[@debbiechang5781]

I had the good fortune to see them live too. I can’t remember the exact year but it was early 80’s. It was an outdoor venue in Massachusetts. One of the best shows I have ever seen. 🌺✌️

[@majonari]

Perhaps, Great Woods, in Mansfield, MA? I was there as well. Great show!

[@stevencantrellzenroom7383]

My favorite band of all time

[@BClarke]

Great tune. When I was 9, this song had a solid run as “my favorite song of all time”. Later usurped, of course, but still spent time on a prestigious list.

[@jjflash1645]

A great and unique sound. Their music is great. Every song is a delight to your ears. I first had them back in the mid 1960s.

[@clannad99germany70]

Always loved this sound of that awesome band. No matter which song.

[@susanfarley1332]

The song is so full of energy, and beauty. And the northern lights when with the music perfectly

[@marybaillie8907]

Such a great song. From their first hit "Go Now" they progressed to have many successful songs including Question and Night's In White Satin. This song is beautiful. Great reaction Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's-80's. They have had so many hit songs. Love their mix of rock with classical music. "The Voice" is from their 1981 Long Distance Voyager album. The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go Now", "Nights in White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "Your Wildest Dreams" etc. But all of their music is great. Sadly we lost Graeme Edge their drummer in November of last year.

[@thedocofrock1890]

you hear the word 'epic' referring to music a lot. well - the MOODIES invented the word. more epic songs than any band i've ever heard

[@clare1061]

When the Moody blues changed their style of music as other bands from that day had done I was in high school I graduated in 1980. These guys just blew my mind.

[@User_vjp_92753]

I have every LP The Moody Blues put out, hard to pick the best! One of favorites is "To Our Children's Children's Children" ! Thanks Scott

[@keithjones7390]

My favourite too, my favourite MB song though is New Horizons from the Seventh Sojourn album, it's just beautiful!

[@User_vjp_92753]

@@keithjones7390 Agree!✌

[@djmcnerney]

I think you nailed the central theme of the song. Well done! Great choice of song.

[@majonari]

This is really a perfect song. Keyboards, bass, guitars singing, drums, and lyrics! (Like many of the Moody Blues songs). Nobody like them. My favorite band.

[@jerrym1183]

The Moodys did a lot of inner exploring back in the 60s, they were able to bring this to music and actually kept it going right into the 80s and beyond, and even into their last Album in 2003, take a listen to "December Snow" from the December album, I got to see them do that live 20 yrs ago, and is one of my fav's, The Moody Blues a band immortal......

[@robertacolarette1594]

Great choice. I think I have every one of their albums. Just the cover art alone draws you in. Everything has a story. I love them.

[@garyarnett1220]

You totally nailed the analysis, about letting your inner voice guide you, with some help from your Higher Power, whatever (s)he is to you.

[@Cheryltwin2012]

This came off an album titled "Long Distance Voyager" that came out in the summer of 1981. It's my favorite cut off the album because it brings back such nice memories for me.

[@TheCkent100]

Hi Harri, I've got another couple of Moody Blues suggestions for you. They are both from albums released a few years after the one this song was taken from. "Your Wildest Dreams", from "The Other Side of Life" (1986) and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" from "Sur La Mer" (1988). If you watch the official videos, please watch them with "Your Wildest Dreams" first. The official videos tell a story when played back to back, so watching in the correct order helps understand the story.

[@IllumeEltanin]

Yes! 💯% Order of these two videos, if the official videos can be used, is essential. The story is definitely fiction, since neither Hayward nor Lodge were founding members of the Moody Blues, but the story portrayed is awesome, regardless. 💖

[@CandleLight1974]

@@IllumeEltanin Fun fact: the actor who plays the young Justin in both videos is Ben Daniels who was 21 and 23 at the time and has gone onto a very successful film and TV career.

[@boosingh]

In the 60s The Moody Blues were synonymous with LSD. I started every trip listening to Ride My Seesaw.

[@tracieh215]

Moodies music will always put me in mind of a brown eyed young man I would say is THE love of my life.

[@mikewinters6499]

Maybe their most beautiful song is 'Never Comes the Day'.. A must listen..

[@Janadu]

Saw them twice in concert in the late 80s. They do take you on quite an emotional ride.

[@mako88sb]

Thanks for the great video. First heard this in 1981 and still love it. Introduced it to my wife and daughters and it’s fantastic to know they love it as well. The same album has 22,000 Days that you would probably enjoy. Another great song by them that really makes you think.

[@tennislover5763]

I would label it symphonic fusion because you have the introduction where the listener hears the sound of the orchestra and keyboard synthesizer. Then you have the rock and roll part with Justin on his Gibson Red 335 guitar and John on his Bass. Justin incorporated a beautiful guitar riff in the middle that takes the listener into more synthesized fusion. All in all, The Moody Blues write songs that the listener visualizes the crescendos and decrescendos of the waves of music. Love the music of the Moody Blues because as a fan and avid listener each song is a surprise note of composition!

[@charlesstuart8009]

Pretty sure Justin Hayward is a Christian so I think he might be talking about the Holy Spirit. He mentions the voice in at least one other song too.

[@spvz29bb]

Love John Lodge's bass.

[@heatsinker_5517]

Great music and awesome lyrics

[@carollittle1059]

Loved them in the 60's

[@RobertERensch]

Did this have Pat Moraz on keys? I’m not sure. Sounds like his orchestral approach. So, different keyboard approach.

[@bkswanson2461]

Yes!

[@Steve_Stowers]

Yes, Patrick Moraz's keyboards were a big part of the Moody Blues sound at this time, on at least their first two albums of the 1980's.

[@tommhill9948]

@@bkswanson2461 MB’s recorded only one of Moraz’s songs, ‘The Spirit’. It’s on “The Other Side of Life” album 1986. 💙Seen them 22 times live, together and solo tours 💙

[@leawise7919]

I saw them this summer in Chatt. TN. Awesome, I grew up in the 80' s, my parents had their albums. Along with many great bands that would have never seen... Glad to still have those albums 😀

[@JJ8KK]

I checked your Moody Blues playlist and noticed you're nowhere close to sampling their 2 BEST songs ever, which in my opinion were on their 7th album, *Seventh Sojourn.* They are *You And Me* and *The Land Of Make Believe.* These are the 2 Moody Blues songs that _give me chills_ they are so amazingly good. I also did a KZbin search & it appears that NO ONE has reacted to those 2 amazing songs. *You could be the 1st!* Do consider reacting to them sooner than later...

[@keithjones7390]

Two great songs there, but my absolute favourite MB song is New Horizons, just beautiful!

[@donnakubiski5572]

Always loved this song. Another great song from the Long Distance Voyager album is "Gemini Dream". I also saw them at an outdoor venue in a Chicago suburb back in 1992. They co/headlined with the group Chicago. Great show with two of my favorite bands. I bought a Moody Blues tour tee shirt which I still have.

[@chronomatt6990]

This is an era when The Moodies gave a nod to ELO.

[@Josie2112]

Wow I just started re-listening to the Moodys and randomly decided to check KZbin, which I never do lol I can’t believe this was just uploaded couple hours ago. Something must’ve called me here :)

[@kiramead4133]

Do 22,000 Days next, another gem from the same album and one of my all-time favorites!

[@revsharkie]

This was probably the first Moody Blues album I heard. I turned 13 in the summer of 1981, so I'm too young to have been around for the original releases of the classic seven albums from the 1960s and '70s. But I was hooked and of course have them all now (on vinyl, even). I saw them live in 1987.

[@garyunold2610]

SPOT ON MY FRIEND SEEN THEM 4 TIMES GREAT

[@andythrush3341]

Yep, saw em three times. The last time i saw them was when they were diing thier orchestra tour. Have everything they ever recorded and most of all of thier solo stuff. This is a really good catchy rock song. Thier voices sound great. In fact. I listen to "Threshold of A Dream" today at a fairly loud volume. It's still a trip, which I did quite often back in the day. Thanks Harri!

[@davidskiff3083]

The voice within you and the voice of the universe calling you onward as well. The first time through the lyrics is the former, but the last time is the latter. Pay attention to the subtle changes in words.

[@bkswanson2461]

Thus album, "Long Distance Voyager" was number 1 for many weeks!

[@debbiechang5781]

I absolutely love this song and the entire Long Distance Voyager album!! I had the good fortune to see the Moody Blues in a live outdoor concert back in the 1980’s. They’re such amazing artists. Great choice and wonderful reaction 🌺✌️

[@frugalseverin2282]

After recording their incredible 7 album run they took a 6 year break, released solo albums before reconvening but for me they weren't the same. Mike Pinder left and the soul, the yearn to explore was gone. It was mostly love songs and pat lyrics like this one where they went for the easy rhyme. Their best will always remain the 7 classics.

[@keithjones7390]

I agree, those albums upto Seventh Sojourn were phenomenal. I've got some of the later MB albums, but they were like a watered down Moodies 😒 To Our Children's.........is my favourite older album, my favourite song is New Horizons from the Seventh Sojourn album, it's just beautiful.

[@CB-gr1uk]

Wow, haven't heard this in decades! Great song! Good pick!

[@AhJodie]

Thank you for sharing, yea it is like, we create with our thoughts, and the idea is very different for the music of that time, but, very much in touch with music from earlier times, with LSD, and hippy like ideas.... You did it, heard the voice within you and have this wonderful channel!

[@tombailey5413]

I was 17 when this was released and it led to me "discovering" the great music the Moody Blues made back in the 60's. I still like their 1988 hit "I Know You're Out There Somewhere " the best.

[@mojomegaman]

Love this song. My favorite Moody Blues song.

[@scottkew6278]

[@The5thGen]

Thanks Rob. Love this band!

[@ryanguertin8028]

There's no boredom in the songwriting, especially in Justin's songwriting... most of his "big" songs really do feel like 2 in 1. I think that's because he, and the band, just let it explore.... not much ending... just more to explore.

[@garykellam5596]

You just have to love that Mellotron

[@RosemaryStanley2070]

Yes, these Veteran Cosmic Rockers will take you on a trip and back again with each album, I'd say this is a much more Moody Popish type sound, but they always have something to say, something to learn and love about life! My favorite group!❣

[@SWLinPHX]

This is probably my favorite Moody Blues song. I was 13 when it was a hit and I knew it even before their classic "Nights In White Satin". Love "Your Wildest Dreams" too.

My second favorite Moody Blues song as Nights in White Satin is just other worldly IMO. The lyrics to me seem to be about staying grounded and being true to yourself. I like to listen to this while running as I find to be positive and inspirational.

[@George-kv6gm]

Try "Go Now". Back to the beginning of the group.

[@Steve_Stowers]

They were a different band back then. "Go Now" was sung by Denny Laine (who would go on to join Paul McCartney in Wings). Then he left and Justin Hayward and John Lodge came on board.

[@murrayjennex1377]

two more moody blues songs you should do: I'm just a singer in a rock in roll band; and legend of a mind (timothy leary's dead)

[@signal12hvac]

more then 200 songs to go of the Moodies music so keep them coming

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I have forgotten about the song. Another one of their songs with a great deal of urgency and probably my all-time favorite by Moody Blues is the song called, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. it's funny but it's serious, it's emotional, it's technically fantastic, and the singing is so incredible.

[@cynergy4]

Not crazy at all Harri! That is exactly what it has always meant to me. When this song came out it felt as if it was specifically written for me, haha! Those lyrics really spoke to me and still do. Not only one of my top fave Moody songs, but one of my top faves by anyone!

[@user-cq4xs7fl8i]

Harri, please please listen to "Conquistador" with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. You will not be disappointed.

[@kentclark6420]

A great song that reactors don't do of theirs is 'One more time to Live'. Very socio-philosophical song.

[@ceciliarueda4871]

I love "Blue World " another hit from them

[@kentclark6420]

This has an ELO vibe to it, like Evil Woman or All around the world.

[@llschnitz]

The two most beautiful Moody Blues songs are actually from solo work. Justin Hayward's "Forever Autumn" and Ray Thomas's "Migration".

[@keithjones7390]

For me the best Moodies song is New Horizons from the Seventh Sojourn album, it's just beautiful.

Each and every heart, it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely one Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight 'Cause out on the ocean of life, my love There's so many storms we must rise above Can you hear the spirit calling As it's carried across the waves? You're already falling It's calling you back to face the music And the song that is coming through You're already falling The one that it's calling is you Make a promise, take a vow And trust your feelings, it's easy now Understand the voice within And feel a change already beginning Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight And how many words have I got to say? And how many times will it be this way? With your arms around the future And your back up against the past You're already falling It's calling you on to face the music And the song that is coming through You're already falling The one that it's calling is you Each and every heart, it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely, lonely one Won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight Oh, can you feel it?
