And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same
And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I'm frightened for your children
That the live that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I'm frightened for the children
That the live that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain
When the final line is over
It's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more
I don't know about that. Growing up, local radio in the NYC tri-state area played Ride My Seesaw, Nights in White Satin, Lovely to See You, Tuesday Afternoon regularly in the late 70s, early 80s. And when their "comeback" album Long Distance Voyager came out, there was a lot of airplay for at least 3 songs (The Voice, Gemini Days, 22,000 Days)
Very true! You are revealing your age! I was there too! WNEW FM 102.7!!!
I Agree!!
It's really too bad Moody Blues didn't get the kind of respect in the US that other classic bands did. They were seen as more of an artsy rock act and never got much airplay except for this song. I tried to turn people onto them back in the day but I always got a lukewarm response. I guess they just weren't edgy enough. They were definitely one of the pioneers of the space age sound and almost certainly influenced a lot of the progressive rock that followed in the 1970s.

My favourite band of the early 70s starting with Our Children's Children's Children's Children

10! Much better.
I did a tour with the Moodys perhaps fifteen years ago or so and it was always a rush. Sharing the stage with one of the favourite bands of my younger years was a hoot.

Yes, I'm still with you, meanderer. Thanks for asking. Funny how English works. You can't say you'll never put two diametric metaphors in the same paragraph unless you write that those metaphors should never be in the same paragraph. Are you still here, meanderer?
Hi kingart - still here, still enjoying most of the forum posts!!! Glad your diametric conundrum didn't cause any long lasting ill effects
You take care, fellow RP-er
Except you just did...
Are you OK? Still with us kingart??

Moody Blues, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, King Crimson + ... What a great time to be alive.
Darn tootin' skippy.

Except maybe that Donnie Osmond part. I'll go to my grave never having put him and the Moody Blues in the same paragraph.

I was in high school when this came out. And this song is one of their best.

Procession - Recorded January–March 1971
The Story In Your Eyes - Recorded 4 November 1970
I think it's awesome that all those older songs have recording dates. You never see that on current songs, you just get "2012" or "2005" if you're lucky. It shows a certain craftsmanship that the engineers took the time to record all that info and make sure it was passed down.
And we can see in the news when that main track was recorded that the US was nearing mid-term elections, some Kon-Tiki adventurers spending months aboard a raft in the South Pacific (La Balsa) were sighted and rescued near Brisbane, London was abuzz with speculation about Jack The Ripper, and of course the US was trying to figure out how to pull out of Vietnam. And Jane Fonda was arrested for drug smuggling after bringing pills into the US from Canada. Interesting to think so much was going on around the world when this track was being cut... I guess it kind of taints the magic of it but it also gives the music some context in world history & news.

Music is memory with a melody. The only unchangeable thing that you can keep.
i love this comment. and i agree completely.
Nice. And pray tell where is grandma these days?
Sorry...just thought I'd throw that out there. Despite the name the glass is minutely radioactive. You probably emit more than it does. Cool effect, though, eh?
As for this timeless classic by the Moody's....they should be getting more credit from musical historians and such than they do. In their time they certainly garnered my attention...at least....for a time. The Moody's, ELP (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) and the like represented a genre I that captured my interest before the likes of the Allman Bro's and such yanked the focus away. They still represent a favorite niche in my memory,though. Good stuff.

I have actually played with Uranium ore, (U238) I do not glow in the dark since it is relatively inert, we should envy the guy on the left, if he enjoys a half life of 4 billion years.
Or not.

Music in the cafés at night and revolution in the air.
Love the reply from someone who lives in Lafayette. Could he be the reincarnate of the famous Marquis of the same name?
..... again.
It's a good story prompt—and one of my all-time favorite album covers.
What's the story - I'm quite intrigued
That is insane!
At least Guns N' Roses and a dozen people I've never heard of made it!

Baby boom demographics.
Economies on steroids.
The Vietnam War and nuclear weapons.
I am sure I missed a few.
Um, it wasn't, 1967 was better.
Of course IMHO.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is really a hollow distinction - it's essentially Jann Wenner's personal list. There doesn't seem to be any real logic or reasoning and it's not really a large committee of peers voting like The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences allegedly is. Still, considering some of the other inductees, it's odd that The Moody Blues are not there; apparently Wenner doesn't care for them.
HUGE influence on Progressive Rock.
I hate posting twice in a row, but yeah THAT BASS.
Hmmm, looks like a Les Paul, A Tele, and a Fender bass?
Not bad for a highschool band! ; )
another one
what a cute memory :-)

Just played in the ensemble that toured with them. No big deal, but lots of fun.
