I think I've posted this in here before, but....when I went to college, I of course knew who they were, but my second semester roomie was a HUGE music fan and particularly of the Moody Blues. Many nights we came back absolutely toasted and would put on a MB album and drift off to sleep with the one side playing over and over through the (usually short) night.
Like I said, I was familiar w/ their hits that were on the radio, but thanks to my roommate, I discovered many, many tunes that were seldom played. I think I now have all their music...am gonna check first chance I get and if I don't, then I'm gonna get the rest.
When I hear this song, it reminds me of stopping on a dark deserted road late one night; my car was overheating a little bit and I stopped to let it cool off before putting some water in the radiator. I had left the tape deck on and was standing out in the middle of the road, not a sound except for this song and no lights except for the power on the stereo, the new moon being completely blocked out by clouds, was nearly as dark as a cave. I don't know why, but I got spooked and started up the car and got out of there.
Love the Moody Blues. Some very trippy song writing in their earlier years. Thanks for the video link Mike.
