Smack-down excellent vibes!!!

Thank you for your post! I just LOVE this song! I'm not a great video maker, but songs like this are just so inspirational!

I didn't understand the DEPTH +profoundness of the Moodies when I was young kid listening...I DO now...When your ready for it+ your lucky ...LOVE blossoms + LIFE becomes a JOYFUL experience when you WAKE up to what life is all about...all the great spiritual masters of the past have shown the door to JOY+BLISS...its up to us to find that door +open it up!

This is one of their highest songs ever.

Marvelous.

In Search Of The Lost Chord is right up there for me as one of the greatest albums of the 60’s. AND it still sounds fabulous today, thanks in no small part to their great producer Tony Clarke who hardly ever gets a mention. He was held in such high esteem at the time that he was referred to as the sixth Moody.

Despite my lifelong affinity for the Moody Blues, "In Search of the Lost Chord" was one album I never had in my collection; so this is the first time I've heard this tune. I like, I like!

For me it started one summer in the middle of the night. I was 15 during summer break 1970. I heard a song that was new to me. I waited till the end to know the name and the DJ went right on to several more songs. It was almost a month later when I heard it again and learned the name. It was Question. My life changed forever. Thank you Justin, John, Graeme, Mike and Ray.

Beautiful comment--thank you.

@Moody Jill thanks for posting these. I think I've listened and enjoyed your videos for 10 years now.

Thank you for your very kind comment, @Bill Barry

My very first love 💘 justin Hayward. Moody blues ...just wow

Wonderiffic !

Beautiful....takes me back to that bubbly spring in the grass.  So so many years ago.!!  Love this. <3

I'm 62, and The Moody Blues are still my favourite group. The depth and beauty of their music, the inspiration in the lyrics - still as relevant today as when I 1st heard (and fell in love with) them over 50 years ago. Certainly they are amongst the best musicians of all time.

I must agree, Christopher. The lyrics are especially beautiful.

Same here; same age, discovered the Moodies maybe a year before you did when Nights in White Satin was first released as a single in the U.S. and got barely any air time. Four years later, heard Seventh Sojourn and I was inextricably hooked. For good.

Not just a Justin Hayward song! First released on their album In Search of the Lost Chord, it was written jointly by band members Justin Hayward and Ray Thomas, and was the first of many collaborations between them. The song is primarily led by Justin Hayward's voice and Ray Thomas's flute, with the lyrics describing the writer's perception of paradise.

Blue onyx, rainbows and waterfalls. So evocative.

97th!!!
nice

My absolute favorite song by my absolute 60s band. Goose bumps cannot describe how I feel when I feel this song.

.......... only one word......... BEAUTIFUL........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 years ago.

Absolutely timeless .
Whispering Bob Harris said Pink Floyd music was the fabric of life I agreed .I'm saying now so are the moody Blues .

Sojourn of seven

Visions Of Paradise By The Moody Blues Is A beautiful gem and wonderful song by the group it is a great masterpiece.

Did Ponder collaborate on the album Octave

Craven Morehead
Yes on “One step into the Light” the last song Mike Pinder played the Mellotron

So beautiful, I love the Moodies...

I spent many teenage nights completely consumed by Moody Blues. All these years later the ecstasy is still fresh.

me too - 50 years later it's still fresh and beautiful...

the grand illusion must be discerned for our "selves"

RIP RAY THOMAS

your visions are as beautiful as the music...thank you Jill <3

Ray Thomas - you've touched our lives in a wonderful way. Such beautiful music you've given us.

HOF VOTE

wonderful!

When you have a wonderful song to work with, the visuals sort of fall into place. I LOVE this song--one of my favorites! Thank you for your comment!

This is one of my all time favorite albums. Just took a trip to the Smokey Mountains and listened to this album while driving through the Smokey Mountain National Park. It was great!

Justin Hayward!!! Knows spirituality

spring is right around the corner her in st. louis, I am gonna get an oz of weed and sit in the park and listen to some moody blues....no, i wont smoke the whole oz. a couple of hits of "grandpas weed" will do.

Wonderful song.

"In search of the list chord" is a masterpiece of an album and this particular piece is sublime, transcendent, beautifully played; the group at their deepest and most original.

Exactly another land is created in my mind one that I can relate to one that I believe have been to or a least a lucid dream I once had a long time ago. And I was told that they'd come for me again someday. This land was like this one only there was no war and like there never was any either. Perhaps this is an illusion my mind has made up to combat the hideousness of war.

Nice thought. Similar place in my mind I go to when I hear this. First visited when I was 13; now I'm 63...the place is still there....

The Moody Blues were so unique their music so mystical and so insightful into using your mind use your mind leave your body behind

@abyios and irene. To think they weren't even 30 when they made this. One of my favorites. OM too. This makes me cry sometimes.

the lyrics and music ... so simple and kind...loving...spiritual

what a song..........just lifts me up God I love these guys

I've read some of your comments on other MB songs Irene. Just want to say I hope you're well

I am fine how about you? I just love these guys and if you want to hear a mind blowing song, at least for me it is, look up Justin Hayward singing Mac Arthur Park especially the end I couldn't believe the high notes he hit, gave me goose bumps. Wanted to go see them in Vegas but every time I saved up a little money something came up here and poof, goes the money . I did get to see Justin In May so I guess I will have to be happy with that. I can say that but I am a greedy person so I WANT MORE lol can't help it forgive me I am okay, just have a weird sense of humour, love to laugh and have fun

@irene Now that sounds fascinating. I was recently rediscovering the Richard Harris version, coincidentally enough.
Saw the MB in the 70's and I hope somehow to see at least some of them again.

you won't be disappointed when you listen to Justin's version I must have played the pixils out of it, can't get over how he hits those notes just love it .

Somehow I'm going to get a request up to the boys to play this little masterpiece on the 22nd when they're in town here in our beautiful new performing arts center in Wilmington, NC. I can't begin to estimate how many times we (my buddies and I) listened to the Moodies in our hooch while in Vietnam, '68/'69. Fortunately, the acoustics/fidelity in our new center are, as Boz Scaggs remarked when he performed here, "as good as they get," hopefully complementing the Moodies full, surround, left and right movement in their songs. It's amazing what a magnet a state of the art performing facility and a hungry audience will do to the music scene here. Can't wait.

+Jack Weiss I envy you. I live in Austin, TX and all we get are hipster club bands. Sure, some are pretty good but groups like The Moodys and Yes, for instance, don't come here. This may be the 'live music capital of the world" but I think it sucks.

I got my VIP tickets for 495 for the March 15 concert in N Charleston
SC... I have seen them 5 times and always loved it. This will be the
climax of 50 years of love of music that woke me up of my miserable self
doubt and inadequacy I still have to live with but with music their is
always hope love and revelation... Thank God for The Moody Blues such a
great treasure, band and inspiration for us all...

Humility before the Lord,yes

so pretty.

Been a fan since 1970, have attended 3 of their concerts in Sydney...which is just not enough! :(

The sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me
In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile
To be, to be
What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me
Come see, come see
Visions of paradise, cloudless skies I see
Rainbows on the hill, blue onyx on the sea
Come see, ah, ah, ah
And the sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes, makes waterfalls
Of me, of me

sublime. Music was superb in the 60s and 70s, the Moody Blues were /are outstanding, Their music has not dated at all

Is is dated, but aged gracefully

beautiful

there's no comparison to this music...

If ever there was psychedelic music at its best, this would *definitely* be it. I love the Moody Blues. :)

This and early Floyd.

Wow! Looks like we feel the same way about the Moody Blues. My all-time favorite group. Great video.

Thank you, and yes--I think we're kindred spirits when it comes to the amazing Moody Blues

@Moody Jill You are not alone my friend !

me too.

Marvelous!!!

My favorite song!

Thanks for posting without commercials..and with lovely images.....love playing this on the flute! Played it for a friend who also played it on the flute and passed away today.

I'm sorry for your loss. :-(

VERY nice collage, Jill.....the opening flower at the end was a fine addition.

I really feel sorry for the 4 who disliked this. 

Obvious  douchebags.

Wonderful video Jill !!!

This has just taken me back 40 years to my teems when I bought this album ... wonderful. Thanks Moody Jill :-)

They played this live at Rutgers University in 2003. The only time I heard it live. It was a moment.

Gotta be one of my favorite Moody Blues tunes.

I'm still listening to this album, and this song in particular. Awesome lyrics. Haunting music. Love Ray's flute in this piece.

Jill, this is a really cool video for a great song. Thanks for posting!!

OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :)

Another great job Jill! Love the sitar. Wish more non-Indian music would incorporate it in the mix. The Moodies/Justin adapted it perfect.

i always loved this song...the pictures are beautiful...like a dream...

Love that song....love that whole album. I'm currently taking a Yoga class at work. We always start the session with the whole group doing "Om". Every single time the song flashes thru my head and I start singing to myself.... " and they give it a word and the word is Om". :-)

there are no minor songs to me....they are all beautiful...

mine as well !
And I always thought that people consider this to be a minor hit of the moodies

this is one of my favorite songs....

Allways have been a MB fan and never favored this album until recently. Some great songs rediscovered. Looking forward to seeing them in concert this year. Ageless songs and band.

seems i'd forgotten the times, younger days...when this song made everything ok...

Another great one MoodyJill, your eye and ear work well together, imagery in harmony with Moody music. Thank you!

Love Justin's sitar~ Come see.....

♥-:¦: Positively awesome :¦:♥

You don't skip songs on Moody Blues albums, you just roll another one!

I've been playing this on the piano and singing all morning. This song enchanted me when I was 13. It still does now.

Tonight I'll see them play near Seattle.

It's a good day.
