Days of Future Passed ken ik sinds ik een jaar of 10 ben en dat is toch wel heel veel langer dan wat ik verder van Justin Hayward en co ken. Hoewel ik inmiddels wel wat kritischer tegenover dat album sta, ligt er toch wel een solide nostalgiebasis. Verder louter nummers tot 1972, al kwam The Voice bij tweede beluistering heel dicht in de buurt.

8. Forever Afternoon (Tuesday) / Time to Get Away
9. Never Comes the Day
10. Dawn Is a Feeling

Mijn nummer 1 is een sentimentele keuze. Ik mag graag een beetje dwepen met mijn muzieksmaak, maar die heb ik zeker niet van mijn ouders overgenomen. Mijn moeder had nagenoeg niets met muziek en mijn vader had platen in de kast staan van Boney M en Jim Reeves. Hij had echter ook een verzamelplaat van The Moody Blues. Deze vervolgens opgenomen op cassette en in de auto werd dit de standaard muziek als ik met hem meeging. Net als ik vindt hij Question het allermooiste nummer en het doet me hierom aan vroeger denken. Natuurlijk is het ook een prachtig lied. Mijn moeder is vorig jaar overleden, mijn vader is er gelukkig nog en sindsdien is de band met hem een stuk hechter. Question zal ik hoe dan ook altijd met mijn vader associëren.

The Actor had het met Nights In White Satin mogen uitvechten voor de nummer 1-positie, maar die heeft ronde 3 jammer genoeg niet gehaald. Gelukkig bleef er nog genoeg moois over

Grootste omissies: Had To Fall In Love en Candle of Life

P.S. Fijne afspeellijst!

1. Nights in White Satin
Dit is echt zo één van die nummers die aan het begin van mijn muzikale leven héél véél indruk maakten. Was, is en zal altijd hét magnum opus blijven van The Moodies.

2. Forever Afternoon (Tuesday ?) / Time To Get Away
Op een haartje na net zo'n prachtnummer als NiWS. Die stem van Justin Hayward..; hemels !

10. The Story in Your Eyes [Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, 1971]

Poeh, dat valt niet mee, het zit allemaal erg dicht bij elkaar. I'm just a singer extra hoog omdat hij ontzettend goed is, maar ook nog zo opvalt in het Moody Blues-geluid.

Zo, en nu even lekker wegzwijmelen op Had to fall in love

Mooi hoe herinneringen en muziek met elkaar verbonden zijn. Ik herken dat heel erg.
