Departure The Moody Blues

Be it sight, sound, the smell, the touch.

There's something,

Inside that we need so much,

The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,

Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

The wonder of flowers, to be covered, and then to burst up,

Thru tarmack, to the sun again,

Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing,

To lie in the meadow and hear the grass sing,

To have all these things in our memories hoard,

And to use them,

To help us,

To find...

God...

My favorite album by my favorite group. Wonderful to see the words written here. I can't count how many hours I sat in the dark with headphones on, listening. Long, long ago. Thanks.

You're welcome. I " grew up" listening to The Moody Blues That was i the 60's and 70's. I was fortunate to be able to see them in concert twice. I have pretty much all of their albums on MP3.Happy to be able to share

✌️

Argggh! I am so jealous! Fortunate? Oh ya. I'd say so. Wow!

Is it just me, or do you find the CDs just don't capture the same feeling?

in reply toNothing_but_books

It's a well known issue with CD' s and other digital music. Something technical. A musician friend of mine explained it all to me in technical lingo..I can't explain it. But yes a lot is lost digitally 😒

It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

in reply toNothing_but_books

Oh no... there's more believe me.. It's been an issue for years. Just can't achieve the same nuances and fidelity of LP's.

I honestly had a young friend think that one of my old albums was a large CD! 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me too... Transported ! I think Days of Future Past, Threshold of a Dream and Seventh Sojourn are my favourites. We wanted Nights in White Satin at our wedding but the Vicar wouldn’t allow it 😔(1972 )

Great Lyric! Grew up in the 60’s and the Moody Blues was my daily bread, giving a sense of Eternal perspective that freed my mind to explore inner life and spirituality that set my spirit to soar with positive expectations for my souls destiny. Saw them 5 times, each time a new encounter and the words of the songs gave deeper dimension to the Keys of The Kingdom. I should listen again , It’s Up To You one of my favorites , great vibe 😊🙏🏻

Thank you for that reminder! You've sent me down a wormhole. I'm Just A Singer has been a lockdown go to whenever I need cheering and of course your tag has made me relisten to both David Bowie's Lazarus and Porcupine Tree's. Cheers
