This is a sequel to "Your Wildest Dreams" My late husband was a Moody Blues fan, and this song means more since his passing. "Celtic Sonant" is another must.

Absolutely. "And the Tide Rushes In," "Tortoise and the Hare," "Dawning Is the Day," all top tracks from 'A Question of Balance.'

Mike Pinder founding member and original keyboardist recently passed away. It was Pinder that gave Paul McCartney the idea of using a Mellotron type organ in the openning of Strawberry Fields Forever. When the Beatles returned from America after their first visit 1964, they embarked on a UK Tour with the Moody Blues opening for them. Much history between these two bands. Mike wrote several Moody Blues songs including Out and In and Melancoly Man.

Unfortunately, the band had parted ways with Mike Pinder after the release of their 1978 Octave album. They replaced him with Patrick Moraz, who, in my opinion, was too showy and didn't have as much talent. I lost interest in the direction of the band's music after Pinder left. I had been a fan since the original bands release on the Motown remake "Go Now." Mike Pinder was responsible for the creative direction of the band that I really loved after 1966 when Justin Hayward replaced Denny Laine and John Lodge replaced Clint Warwick.

It was very sad when Mike passed-away recently and one of my favorite songs written by Mike for the Moodies was "Out and In."

As you noted, this is a sequel to Your Wildest Dreams. These two songs had a special bittersweet meaning for me. In the Early 80s I was engaged but due to deaths in my fiancé’s family the wedding didn’t happen and we eventually broke up. The Moody Blues were special to us. I introduced them to her and we saw them in concert and their song In My World became our song. When Your Wildest Dreams came out it really resonated with me. Especially words like “I wonder if you think about me”. We did eventually meet up a few times and talk on the phone. The feelings were still there for both of us but, as in the video, she was (unhappily) married with kids so we knew nothing could happen. After a while I told her that it would be best that we end contact. Several years later she did call me again but that was the last time we had any kind of contact. To this day I still think about her sometimes.

"For My Lady" is one of their most beautiful songs. "Ride My See‐Saw" "I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)" "Tuesday Afternoon" "Isn't Life Strange" "The Other Side Of Life" So many good songs.

"I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band" was a big hit for the Moody Blues

Moody Blues : “ I’m Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band “” do the video, great drumming!!!!

I’m Just A Singer ( in a rock and roll band ) is a great Moody Blues song 🔥

The song and video are a sequel to "Your Wildest Dreams." The video picks up right at the end of the first video.

'Melancholy Man' does it for me!!!

"The Voice" is one of my favorites!

You must have been reading my mind. I was going to suggest a Moody Blues song for you today, but it would have been 'I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band).' But this is a good one, too!

Love the Moody Blues- my favorite is “The Other Side of Life “

Their last top 40 song. You seem to be playing their more mellow 80's songs. Just like Chicago, The Moody Blues turned into a mellow rock sound in the 80's. Do you know they were a progressive rock band in the late sixties and 70's? React to "Question", "Story In Your Eyes", "Ride My See Saw", "Steppin In A Slide Zone" or "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock N Roll Band". Thanks. 😎

"Question" (The ballad parts get to me all the time) & "The Voice" (High energy all the way!)

When I worked at Wendy’s in the early 90s, this song was on the tape loop that was played in the dining room. It was a short loop, so I heard it over and over. That’s what I associate with this song. 😊

Always Love Moody Blues! Tons More to Go! :) Great Choice, You Guys!

I met them a long time ago in Boston. They were a nice group of guys..very humble. Their music has stood the test of time.

Always a fan of this Moody Blues tune!

Concept albums, Trip albums. We used to always listen to the moody blues albums complete in one sitting, both sides without interruption or speaking. They were journeys. We weren't in a hurry.

Remember near the end of the first song video, she goes to his concert, but he gets swept away by security although they see each other. Hence, He knows she's out there (somewhere).

Finally! Back to the Moody Blues. But you should play their earlier stuff, it's better, like "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon." Try, "Legend of a Mind", "The Voyage", "Have you heard", "Eyes of a Child", "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band".

Jonny Nash...Tears on my pillow...is another beautiful song

Probably the singer Justin Hayward's best song is from Jeff Wayne's album "War of the Worlds" -- "Forever Autumn", narrated by Richard Burton.

Favourite songs of the Moodies.... "Question", "New Horizon" & "Never Comes The Day". Absolute gems. Please try these

This mystery woman appears in quite a few of their songs. I love the Moody Blues and their storytelling abilities. Try "Question" , "Ride My See Saw", and "The Story In Your Eyes" ☮️

The Question everyone is asking is when are the two of you going to get around to reacting to their brilliant song "Question"??? It is right up your alley, Amber, but J will think it's cool too!!

One of my favorite Moody Blues songs! I don’t recall ever hearing it on the radio when it was new, but I did discover it many years later and I just love the hopefulness and positivity of it.

The best way to listen to the Moody Blues is by listen to the whole album as most of their LPs are concept albums

The video won an MTV best video award. Also, Justin Hayward has said about the song that it’s about how sometimes, it’s best to leave things as memories. He has said it’s the favorite song he of his that he’s written.

Went to one of their concerts years ago. There were 2 drummers. They kept throwing their drumsticks back and forth through different songs. It was so cool.

I love the Moody Blues, every song is so good. “ Candle Of Life “ is one of my favorites! 🕯️🔋💜💜

My favorite Moody Blues song is the ballad "Driftwood." In 1978, it reached #38 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

There's a Justin Hayward song that he did with the Moody Blues called Forever Autumn. It was done for a musical version of War of the Worlds and is one of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear.

Kathie says…my all time favorite Moody Blues song is GO NOW….(1964) I LOVE that song and played that 45 to death!!!

I saw them in Reno, NV in 1995. They sounded like a CD just awesome. Great band.

Jay & Amber Moody Blues in my top 5 favorite bands. "Voice in the Sky" on In Seach of a Lost chord album from 1968. It's Amazing song.

My second favorite band after the Beatles. ESPECIALLY the album "In Search of the Lost Chord". AMAZING !!

Been waiting a year for y’all to get to this sequel of Your Wildest Dreams! Was lucky enough to see the Moody Blues live years ago. Their music got me through some hard days. Glad to see you enjoying it too. Thanks!

The Moodies have two distinct eras - the 60's-70's, and then the 80's. The first included groundbreaking concept albums that married classical and rock music. Think Nights in White Satin. Then the 80's included a string of pop hits like this song. They were successful both ways, but they will always get special recognition for that first era. The Days of Future Passed album went to #1 in several different years.

"On The Threshold Of A Dream" is a great album. Every song is memorable.

"The Tide Rushes In" is a great tune from their older work...also "The Actor".

Amber, you're right! *Janet Spencer-Turner* plays the character from the singer's past in the music video for "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" by The Moody Blues. Spencer-Turner also plays the same role in the video for "Your Wildest Dreams".

A great deep cut by them is “Higher and Higher” from the album To Our Children’s Children’s Children. It’s a heavy psychedelic rocker for them.

It is always a pleasure watching your reactions, Amber, your perception is always spot on!

YESS!!! This is the sequel. You nailed it, Amber.

The Moody Blues have some less mentioned, but better than some more often mentioned songs. The Actor, Voices In The Sky, Candle Of Life, Watching And Waiting, New Horizons, You And Me, When You're A Free Man, the entire second LP side of A Question Of Balance: It's Up To You, Minstrel's Song, Dawning Is The Day, Melancholy Man, The Balance. Also The Story In Your Eyes, Emily's Song, One More Time To Live, You Can Never Go Home, My Song, Never Comes The Day, Are You Sitting Comfortably, What Am I Doing Here, The Voice, In My World, 22,000 Days, Blue World, Meet Me Halfway, Say It With Love, English Sunset. Of all those, The Actor, You Can Never Go Home, Dawning Is The Day, and Voices In The Sky are personal favorites. Any one of these would be amazing. And I also agree with some more common suggestions like Question and I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band.)

Nights in White Satin is my favorite.

Such a great band! Another great band from the 80s and beyond you should react to again is New Order. The version of Bizarre Love Triangle from Substance is one of the best new wave dance songs of all time!

Always time for The Moody Blues!

"Running Water" by The Moody Blues is beautiful too :-)

Somewhere out there, or she's like the wind.

Moody Blues! Music for the ages!

#30 on the Billboard chart, the Moodys final Top 40 hit. It was a heck of a run, from "Go Now" in 1964 to this in 1988. Really only the Rolling Stones have a had a longer run, although there are various asterisks for other artists. RIP, Mike Pinder.

I saw the tour for this album at the ampitheater here in Tulsa. Awesome song live. Saw the Moodies 3x. Great song!

one of my favs as an avid moody! My next recommend would be The Question.

I was able to see T he Moody Blues 5 times, and saw Justin in a solo concert when he toured for a solo album, I love this song, thanks playing it. So many songs, Question is a good one. Justin's Forever Autumn is another great song
