Moody Blues - Question (1970)

RIP Mike Pinder 😞 (27 December 1941 – 24 April 2024)

Stunning I'm still listening who else is loving this great band?

I was reading over the comments on this thread and it's so obvious that a lot of the people that are into the Moody blues are deep feeling, very sensitive, a lot of them are spiritually inclined, individuals! There is so much heart and emotion expressed in these comments! So many of us looked deeper into their lyrics, and not just the music! I got caught up in a heroin epidemic in NYC back around 1975, and I felt I was a prisoner that would never break free of my addiction. Throughout the 70's and 80's their music kept speaking to me and was a big source of comfort during those dark years of my life! They kept alive a yearning in my heart to be free of the addiction and to know a relationship with the God of my understanding! They gave me hope, and I believe God spoke to me through their music and lyrics, and helped me not to give up and that there was something in this world that was good, and worth living for! I finally achieved freedom from my addiction in 1989!

I've said this before. I went to war,this band and its music returned me to some form of sanity. I will always be grateful I found the Moody Blues. They helped me return home.

This was my dad's favorite song. This year, in January, he lost his life due to suicide. 💔 He was living his life in the fast lane, with really big highs and lows. The mornings were his biggest struggle. I am grateful for this song. It makes me sad, the lyrics is very meaningful. It also gives me peace, the lyrics describes my dad's battle with depression. It brings me closer to my dad. If anyone is reading this who's struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts: you are important and you are loved❤ If this day feels impossible, talk with someone. The days will become lighter - the voice in your head is telling you lies. ❤

So glad I grew up in the late 60's and early 70's - THE BEST MUSIC EVER! Nothing even close!

They sang the question about why so much hate and war, in 1970. Over 50 years later, we're still asking.

Hearing this 52 year old song reminds me that most of today’s music is crap.

I'm sure millions of us are still listening.

I just needed to listen to this tonight. I’m 73 and still a dreamer. ♥️

I feel that the beginning and ending of this song are like two book ends holding up a beautiful novel about love.

I am 69 and so glad to have lived with the best bands ever.

I am 71 now . I hear this and it brings tears to my eyes because of the memories that burst through my mind of my youth and friends and lovers that have come and gone, some passed away , some I have lost contact with, some who no longer recognise me. Thankfully I can still listen to this amazing music in these sometimes unbearable times that we now live in.

The most underrated English band of all time.

Moody Blues and Jethro Tull, two groups that are true artists in an age of discovery. When I am sad or blue, I play the Moodys to calm my soul.

Going on 74 years old. I grew up with the Moodys. They were, and still are the most significant band in moving my life.

The audience had no idea they were witnessing greatness at the time.

Am I just a boomer or, am I right about there not being any song like this these days ? Thoughtful lyrics good vocal harmony and chorus, pace changes, chord changes, fanfares and cascades.

It is so hard to explain the impact the Moody Blues have had on music and music history. I remember it like it was yesterday. So creative and such innovators. They made history and will never be forgotten. Live long my friends.

The people did not know they were the first to hear one of the greatest songs in rock history
