"That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you" - this lyric is on my brother's gravestone. He loved the Moody Blues and was the sweetest, most selfless human I have ever met. It seemed so perfect for someone who just gave love with no expectation of it being returned and often surprised when it was.

I saw the Moody Blues in person way back when, around 1970. They were as good in person as on their recordings. I’m 75 now and starting to fade away but I still listen to their Records. Unfortunately most of the Blues are my age now and they like me are fading. If there is life after death I hope I will see and hear them again in the afterlife. They are my second favorite group with first going to Journey. I have seen both groups in person many years ago. Both groups sound as good in person as they did on recordings.

This is the only song I ever played live on guitar to an audience. It was at Rookies in downtown Orlando. The regular singer was taking a break and let me have a pick at his guitar. I had just learned how to play this through so I started, there were only a dozen or so people actually in the bar. I didn't realized the mics were being pumped out into the street, halfway through there were more people in the bar and when I turned around there were about a hundred people standing outside looking in. When I finished, there was a huge applause. I was embarrassed but also energized. I've never played and sang in front of anyone else, I suffer terribly from stage fright. It's a beautiful song, I've seen the Moody Blues a half dozen times over the years and this song is always the one I liked best.

Thanks for doing this song 'Question'. It's been 35-40 years probably since I last heard it.

Because I listened mostly to radio, other than a few LPs I bought, I missed hearing the titles of the songs, and didn't pay much attention to the lyrics. As you have been finding out we had a huge bunch of really great music back then. That's not even taking into account my favorite 4, Vangelis, Mke Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Tangerine Dream.

Great reaction guys, thanks for doing another Moody's song. "Question" is the 1st song off their 1970 album, Question of Balance (Nights in White Satin was off Days of Future Passed in 1967). Question of Balance was the first album I ever heard of the Moody Blues in the early 70s. I fell in love with their melodious songs and amazing harmonies straight away. I went out the next payday and bought three of their other albums. After Pink Floyd, they are my next favourite band. I saw them live in 1985 when they toured Australia, all their band members were there, and then again, I saw them after the passing of Ray Thomas (flautist - RIP). Both times they sounded exactly the same as their studio recordings. Would love to see your reaction to 2 of their shorter songs (could be done in the one session) - The Story in Your Eyes, and Lovely to See You. Cheers from Australia, mate.

It was rare if one of their songs got high up in popularity but so many of their songs are wonderful. There are some rock and roll songs, some nice melodies, and some that cannot be described, and those songs make it difficult to describe their style of music but I can say their music is great.

OK so, this song starts as an anti-war song. The 1st section asks "Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking on the door?" - They are asking the powers that be: the government. In the middle section, they draw parallels to the never-ending questions of life and love and the yearning we all feel for an answer, for completion - or better yet, a miracle. Thank you so much for doing this song. Their music is different and it feels and sounds different than anyone else. This was the goal for bands back then. Originality was praised, as it should be.

I'd love to see your reaction to the Moody Blues song 'Talking Out of Turn'. I first heard it on an airplane to Australia many years ago...have to say that's the song that turned me into a Moody Blues fan!

My favorite album is On the Threshold of a Dream but my favorite songs are Legend of a Mind and Are You Sitting Comfortably.

I love this band so much! ❤❤ Since grade school in the late 60s. I notice when you react to them there are many immediate comments. It said this was posted 1 hr prior & there were 219 comments already. This band soothes, excites and speaks to fans of all ages. I used to see folks of several generations at their concerts. Justin Hayward's voice is velvet audio love. Great choice tonight! I see lotsa good suggestions for your next MB listen and suggest one of these... ♡The Story in Your Eyes ♡Tuesday Afternoon ♡Never Comes the Day ♡Lovely To See You ♡Gypsy As always, thank you and be blessed ❤❤

I bought a Moody Blues album in the 80s. One of the few albums I had that I enjoyed every song on.

I saw them here in Milwaukee with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra backing them up. It was outdoors and they released doves into the crowd. Man, the whole Symphony ROCKED this tune and the whole concert with the Moody Blues.

OMG that sounds awesome! I have few regrets in life, but one of them is passing on the opportunity to see them in Phoenix in the early 1990's because of work.
