My mum got me into The Moody Blues when she bought this K-Tel compilation album. I loved it.

Re: The New Moody Blues Thread

Just to add, that the Blue Jays also released a song 'Driftwood', which I thought was brilliant. I'll have to have a root around to see if I have any Moodies stuff - I certainly have the single Nights in White Satin on Deram somewhere (Ain't everything inaccesible the older you get?).

One of my favorites.

The Moody Blues - Driftwood


This one also.

The Moody Blues - Had to Fall in Love

Justin and his 12-string.

Justin Hayward - New Horizons

Spoiler

Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday

Where is this place that we have found?
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
'Cos I've shed tears too many for me

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday

On the wind soaring free
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see
Out of mind far from view
Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true

Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday

Justin Hayward - Broken Dream

Spoiler

One more illusion shattered
One more broken dream
Oh that the morning brings the sun
Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again
See how the tears roll down
Like sweet summer rain
Where does it leave me now
I find myself so free again

Even the smallest traces
Of your sweet perfume
Open the flood gates and I'm helpless
Now as the moonlight shadows
Cast across my room
Only the whispered words
Are heard in the night
Only a silent prayer
I love you still
I always will

Out of the dark I stumbled
Into the light
Only my fear has tumbled
I think I always knew
That I would run to you

Somewhere there's children playing
Somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
Over the hill the sunset
Dies and fades away
I turn and I close the door
With one last goodbye
I will return no more
I'll take my heart and let it fly
