Klappentext
Introduction to the UpdatedExpanded Edition
With the feedback from our readers we expanded our first edition's content. We have fixed the few errors and rare factual inaccuracies we had found.
Several readers asked that we look at and make meaning about more of their songs. We have done that with three (see next page): 'Question,' 'New Horizons,' and 'I'm just a singer' (in a R&R band).
Just after completing this book we went on their first "Moodies Cruise" and now include a summary of our experience there. We obtained the new Timeless Flight box set that was released three months after this book and listened to the CDs and watched its DVD video material. We also read their extensive accompanying "coffee table" sized book. We have read the many online comments on this box set and have included a relevant few of them in our 7 page review of this large box set.
This is a landmark book by two long-time Moody Blues fans. In this book we examine and bring to light the music and message of this great band of poets and musicians who have produced hit music for almost 50 years!
Here's a little on what our book is about and the areas that we explore:
How they are unique among bands and music groups
What critics and others have said
The nature of their musical magic and message
How the Moodies' words and music work, song by song
Using 7 levels of listening to their music
Why listening to their music raises our consciousness
How their fans have listened consistently for so long
Why they have excelled for nearly ve decades
From the Foreword by
Moody Blues co-founder, keyboardist and vocalist Mike Pinder
"It was very interesting to read Charles and Barbara Whitfield's interpretations of our music and message.
They suggest clear and useful ideas and ways for those who are newly exploring our music and for the many who have been on this journey with us from the beginning.
I have always been interested in the broader qualities of music to inform, heal, raise consciousness and uplift. This was often on my mind when I wrote a song or painted the backdrop for others in the band with counter melodies and my Mellotron.
In contrast to most observers of our music, I saw how the authors here delve below the surface and give us an enjoyable interpretation of our words and music. They examine essentially their every aspect. Not only do they address our lyrics from a scholarly and poetic perspective, but they offer us some insightful and sometimes surprising interpretations of them beyond what many listeners and fans may consider.
Music has changed our world. It has the potential for reaching within, opening our minds and our hearts to the power of Universal Love. It transforms, strengthens, relaxes, teaches and enlightens us.
The Whitfields realize these truths and give us a strong base from which to experientially understand them. They integrate the many positive messages of our words and music by giving us a clear and constructive map of healing that is on the cutting edge of psychology, consciousness studies and spirituality.
Memories are also closely associated with music. I have always thought that we hang our memories on the shape of sound. With memorable melodies, counter melodies and instrumentation we were able to create
