Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on CZcams, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on CZcams. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on CZcams, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Yes, The Moody Blues always sprinkled a little magic dust on each of their recordings before releasing them to the world.
Yes, Shawn,all of the albums, 2-7, are recorded gapless, with each song crossfaded with the next. Their albums are all at least semi-concept albums.
2. Days of Future Passed (1967)is about the passage of a single day,
3. In Search of the Lost Chord (1968) is themed on finding oneself through music,.
4. On the THreshold of a Dream (1969) is about realizing we are all basically the same
5. To Our Children's Children''s Children (1969) is about space exploration and was intended to be released to coincide with Nasa's Moon mission, but missed it by a couple of months.
6. A Question of Balance (1970) is about saving the planet
7. Seventh Sojourn (1971). Never did figure this one out. All of these themes are only loosely followed...and are my guesses only.
Yes, and they need to be reacted to in the proper format: Full album. Trust me Shawn, you will not regret it. Start with "Days of Future Passed", and move through the seven sojourns (at least), and learn as you go...
Just note that you're missing Every Good Boy Deserves Favour - coming right before Seventh Sojourn. The Core 7 albums!
@@EchoesDaBear YIKES!!! How the Hell did that happen ? One of my favorites.
Every song on this LP is great. The Moody Blues especially was asking and trying to figure out the answers to the questions that our generation was facing. Assassination of JFK & RFK, Martin Luther King, Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Woman's Rights (Row vs. Wade, birth control), drugs. We had a lot going in the world to deal with. Younger generations will always want to know the answers to these questions. Our generation put it in song to some of the greatest bands and music that will come back again and again because it's so good to listen and reflect upon. It was a pure "JOY" to grow up with all this fantastic music! 🎶 ❤
You are so right!
The Moody Blues asked the questions but admitted that they didn’t have the answers. Grahame Edge said that they were just as much in the dark as everyone else. When some fans were disillusioned that they were not tge philosophical gurus that the fans wanted them to be John Lodge responded with the song I’m Just A Singer In A Rock and Roll Band
The Moody Blues always take you on a philosophical trip. Atmospheric music and thought-provoking lyrics. They were one of a kind, but very listenable! Try Watching and Waiting, from To Our Children's Children's Children, or Voices in the Sky from In Search of the Lost Chord. These are very quiet songs that make you think. But they have plenty of rockers, too, like Departure/Ride My See-Saw, from In Search of the Lost Chord again.
Hauntingly beautiful and yet so sad... I like MB..they are really different to other bands from the same era
What a great reaction and what a great song, composer and band. It sadly cut off before the full ending, which is perhaps most important. What happens at the real end of the song, is that his voice gets more desperate, but also less audible, and the voices of the crowd drown him out. A profound ending to a profound song. Find it and give a listen. You will be rewarded. It was my broody artist song in high school when it was current. Title cut "Question" is Justin's great gift on the album.
The whole album like the mighty 7, is a treasure chest. All their albums end with a longer, more proggy or atmospheric song by the older wizard of the band, Mike Pinder, the Merlin who casts spells...as referenced in "Are You Sitting Comfortably?". The Moodies were basically a more mature Beatles, and like Yes was a high vibration from and for the higher chakras.
It's great how all 5 band members wrote their songs. Mike Pinder - keyboards, vocals, guitars - wrote and sang this one. All songs on their 'classic 7' albums were cross-faded. The highest voice is bassist John Lodge.
Yes that’s the great thing about the “Core 7”. All 5 members contributed equally. With a lot of bands and albums there are one.or two main members and the others are interchangeable. With these 7 albums all 5 members were crucial.
LOVED your reaction!!!! Well, the Moody Blues are my favorite band. I have all their albums, I’ve seen them perform live several times. My jaw dropped when I saw the alert for Melancholy Man! You da man! Trust me, you are in for an awesome adventure as you react to more of their songs. The songs do go from one to the next. But they are SO good! John Lodge is the one who sings the falsetto. He was an amazing bass player as well as singer. They are ALL super talented and their music sometimes leaves you without words….it’s that good. Thank you for doing the Moody’s! 😀
OMG! Please?!
To our Children’s Children’s Children!
I personally endorse this album!
✌️✌️✌️
Hell, I personally endorse all of them! 🙃
I would listen to the music but never really listened to them with headphones. Wow 🤯 that was 🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction!! I believe you were listening to the version from their compilation album "This Is The Moody Blues" as the mix is different from the album version on A Question of Balance. The mellotron is more muted in this version (which is unfortunate).
This song has LONG been my favourite on this album - Mike Pinder (keyboards & vocals) absolutely owns this song, through & through. It's so haunting.
The whole album is wonderful - as is with the 'Core 7' of the Moodies albums. They are ALL sonic adventures!
There is a wonderful live version of this song on the Live At The Isles of Wight release. One of the only 'officially' released album to feature Melancholy Man live! Cheers.
One of my FAVES by The Moody Blues. Glad you enjoyed!
A day without the Moody Blues is a day without sunshine.
Ok, the first 7 Moody Blues albums are all superb! They are album group by which I mean, listen to each album all the way through. I realize that is not practical for a reaction channel but for your own joy, do it when you think you have done enough individual songs to be interested in hearing the music as it was intended to be heard. They are amazing!
Their first seven albums are all great. Not including their debut with other members. But what fans call their core production from The Days of Future Passed1967 thru Seventh Sojourn 1972. Like Floyd they should be listened to in their entirety. Songs run together.
The Moody Blues considered themselves everybody's third favorite band
the Mighty Moodies, every song is a musical journey any of their first 7 should be done end to end as they are all considered concept albums
RIP Mike Pinder, this song has always affected me so deeply, from the first time i heard it in the 70's and now at his passing, my favourite Moody
Thank you for your excellent reaction and commentary ! Melancholy Man was one of my favorites when I was 15 and listening to this album over and over again. Now I like The Tide Rushes In the most, which is another Pinder song from this album. Still like this one a lot too though, particularly when listening to it with a first time listener.
And the Tide Rushes In was written and sung by the late great Ray Thomas.
@@NYCOPERAFAN Yes, thank you for checking, my mistake.
The other Pinder song on the album is How Is It We Are Here
Oh, almost 3 decades since I heard this song last time. And still love it as much as then ❤
Hauntingly beautiful song
Just went to the movie Napoleon today and at least twice in the movie he says that he is "melancholy" or trying not to be. Odd that this song would come up the same day as "melancholy" does not come up that often in normal conversation.
Can't believe you reacted to one of my favorite Moody Blues song (next to the long version of Tuesday Afternoon) They did this in their concerts and it just takes you away.
This track has been blowing my mind since 1970.
YES! The Real Deal is the perfect description of them! So glad younger generations are experiencing them.
Loving your choice of songs to react to Shawn. Keep up the fun work.
"Timothy Leary Is Dead" another really good one that's magical sounding.
I've always identified it as that. I don't know why. I guess because of the chorus@@LucasProgeny
The song is called Legend Of A Mind from the In Search Of The Lost Cjord Album.
This band.... Their music. Their words. Feels as if it is echoing through the centuries.
I recommend that you make a reaction to one of the best vocalists in the world.
What is that sound? This sound is beyond our ordinary world, beyond the music we are accustomed to. Generally beyond the music that we expect to hear in films. According to the director of this film, Denis Villeneuve, Hans Zimmer worked on this music for several months - a very long time for such a project. He searched for and created these unusual sounds, trying to go beyond the boundaries of what he could do and was used to doing. As we understand it, he succeeded. We heard music here that is not only extraterrestrial, but also timeless. Something similar could probably have sounded ten thousand years ago. Or maybe this is what our future will sound like. There are very few artists capable of producing such sounds. It's not just vocal capabilities and good technique - it's a completely different aesthetics, a different psychology, a different physiology. The artist must not only accurately hit the notes of this strange score - he must, first of all, be convincing. He should sound as if these sounds are not exotic to him at all - but a natural part of his nature. It should sound organic, it should sound beautiful at the same time - and dangerous, alarming, warning. In this case, that's exactly what it sounds like. Whether you like this sound or not, no one doubts that this sound is the most real. That this is not a sophisticated computer design - but a living timbre, living emotions, living energy of the human voice. Voices of the strange, unusual, unexpected. A voice that reminds us at the same time of the sounds of wild nature; and about the sounds of the beautiful singing voices of the past; and about the sounds of some other world, some universe unknown to us - sounds the existence of which we can only guess. All these amazing sounds are contained in the artist we see on this stage - Diana Ankudinova.
We look forward to your reaction to this fantastic performance.

Forever Autumn a song in Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds sung by Jason Hayward Is worth a listen.
A Question of Balance has a lot of great work on it so yes, of course check it out sometime. :)
Fantastic music, every album! 💙🎶
My favourite Moodies song.
One of the three bands I've seen 3 times.....they are SO GOOD!! GREAT RABBIT HOLE!!
This song made me feel like I was tripping on Acid ! Play more songs like this one. 🚀
I was tripping on Acid back in 72 when I listened to this and their whole collection. What a trip that was!!!!!
@@bumperu in Heaven, they have a Mellotron.
You really have to listen to there song You and Me. You wont regret it
Aw Shawn, man, thanks for this, my favourite Moody song! I had all their albums as they were released, so many great tunes to choose from.
A great bluesy downward spiral type of song and I love it!My brother owned about the first 5 or 6 albums they made and I listened to all of them at least 10 times each back in the early 1970’s. I’ve been a fan ever since.I finally got to see them with only 2 of their members from their early years and they still were great about 12 years ago.
Love The Moody Blues. Lyrics address problems we faced and still are facing today. And always "trippy".
Love your reactions. The Moody Blues are in my top 5 groups of all time. When you get chances love to here you dive more into them. Your mind travels with there music😂
Stellar
If you want to experience some up-tempo Moody Blues (but no less haunting), check out I'm just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band or Ride my Seesaw.
Hey Shawn, since you've gotten so many amazing comments about the Moody Blues. I thought I'd suggest another song by an artist, I believe you've reacted to before and seemed to enjoy her tunes, however, she's singing with the legendary Tony Bennett. He is a crooner from the 50's &60's. Another artist with fantastic hits. So, if interested. "Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse - Body & Soul (From Duets II: The Great Performance)" (It's so enjoyable to watch these two artists from two different generations sing together, beautiful stuff, bro.)
Check out I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band for an up-tempo banger from them, it's really fun and the vocal work is fantastic. And bass guitar line absolutely kills.
If you end up doing a whole album I would strongly suggest Rush 2112. I can't remember if you've done it or not. And also, the first Boston album and the first Van Halen album are considered to be some of the greatest debut albums in rock history. And then of course there's the entire Fleetwood Mac Rumors album which is just one of those perfect albums.
The Moody's were always one of my top 5 groups. Each album had a common thread and each of the 5 Moodies got to write 2 songs per album. I always anticipated Mike Pinder's songs on each new album. I have been a fan from the beginning. I'm 75 years young !! I enjoy every members songs and have learned how to recognize each members sound and style. Enjoyed your reaction and comments.
Saw them when they were touring this in 1970. Try "Dawning is the Day" off this LP, a Hayward creation.
i almost forgot this tune. thank you. i cared once.
For me there were The Beatles then The Moody Blues..
Out of this world! That's why God still tolerates us.
Stepping in the Slide Zone is a great one no one reacts to oir Salisbury by Uriah Heep another One of These Days Ten Years After
Meta physical soul music.
Nice reaction to one of my least favorite songs by The Moody Blues. You have some good insights. I recommend anything from the album Seventh Sojourn. Thanks!
all the world astounds me, and I think I understand...maybe?
Sorry I'm broke, Shawn, you need fresh blood is all I'm gonna say here and I so wish I could afford to be a part of this monetarily.
