It was a strange start,
I had been up for a few hours,
Reading and writing poetry,
Feeling alright,
But not the brightest.
We got in the car,
The music came on,
And there blasting out
Came the sound of a band,
And that sound propelled me
Into a day that was filled with joy.
That music changed my day,
My world was wonderful,
All due to that album,
The Days of Future Passed.

- Comment from author about the poem: The Moody Blues have been one of my favourite progressive rock bands since the 1960's. This album from 1967 changed the face of music as the band played with a concert orchestra. Whenever I hear this album my feelings are lifted into another dimension. I have recently bought the DVD of the 50th anniversary concert of this album. YES they are still around.

Listening to the track as I type this - a great sound it is
It is a great album Michael.
A good write and clip Gold. Were they around in 1066?
Thanks Orchi. No not quite we have many years on them.
Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Its 8:30 pm (Saturday) here so Brian has flown! YES a single tune can change the mood of a Day : AMEN. Brian & I love all genres of MUSIC and its nice when Pop Groups like the BEATLES (with Ravi Shankar) and the MOODY BLUES (with a Full Orchestra & Recitation) break through and coalesce with a completely different Musical Genre. The combination always eclipses the sum of the Individually Genre : especial in the clip you have posted : AWESOME ! Thanks for commenting on (what you called) our "Postcards from New Zealand" much appreciated. Blessings and LOVE to JOYCE : Angela XXXX
Thanks for checking my LAMENT : ALONE AGAIN : UNNATURALLY : ANGELA 🧡
Thank you Angela, yes they changed the face of music - I should know as I was there.
Great to listen back to those prog rock days. King Crimson were probably my fav's but soon brass rock and jazz rock stole me away.
Jazz classical and jazz infuse my world most of the time but I still listen to most types of music.
Thank you. Now I'm gonna have to listen to that whole album again--I expect it to be immensely pleasurable.
Thnak you fuche_bu, I am sure that you will enjoy it.
Andy,
You are an amazing influence! After having read your fine poem, I tried to listen to the video you posted, but a message said that it was not available. So I researched it and found it! I listened to all seven recordings! Super enjoyed them! You made my day much brighter! Music always perks me up...more so than a cup of coffee!😉
Thank you for sharing!
Love to Joyce and you!
~Laura~
Thank you Laura, I am glad that you enjoyed the music, once you found it. I have all their albums.
Music has the ability to lift you up (good coffee comes a close second though).
oooooo I can't see the video but I love the Moody Blues........ love Your Wildest Dreams (can play over and over till I'm dizzy)...... I'll go look for yours on Youtube......
The album is on YouTube and is great.
