There's so many storms we must rise above. Can you hear the spirit calling, as it's carried across the wind? You're already falling it's calling you up to face the music, and the song that is coming through. You're already falling. This one that is calling is you."

This is a line from my favorite Moody Blues song. I feel a need for light and I am looking for thoughts. Read the stanza. What do you feel?

"there's so many storms we must rise above" challenges lie ahead, and I must face them.

"Can you hear the spirit calling, as it's carried across the world?" A soft voice that lies ahead will be waiting but you must travel for it, and fight for it, it is moving far far away, run to it!

"you're already falling it's calling you up to face the music, and the song that is coming through." Your about to lose it, it is taunting you, stand up face it, be m man! this is what it is all about.

"you're already falling, this one that is calling is you" you are still losing me, dont give up, this is your life fight for it!.

ok maybe I took it too analytical but this is what i think it means in it summarized at least, life goes at you fast, just stand up face it, fight it, and win. and whatever you do don't give up hope.

Where you see it as the future, I see it as my past. But it's cool. My love for this group is it's subjectivity in the lyrics. I only know that their music never ceases to make me feel good, and hopeful.

Thanks for replying.

I feel young and hopeful, cyntrow. Excited. The world is before me, do I dare jump in? Where will I land? I am giggling.


myLot reputation of 82/100. cyntrow (2702)   ranked 2,053 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

That's the way I feel. Any time I hear a moody blues song, any of their songs, I just feel an incredible surge of hope and giddiness. May sound silly, but they have kept me going on many occasions when I would have given up the ghost.

Thanks for your reply


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

I had this song / this album when I was a teenager. In fact, I still have it. The lyrics you provided took me back to my youth and the feelings I had when I would listen to it. And, thanks to you, it gave me some newfound hope today. I've been listening to this song in my head ever since you posted these lyrics here.


myLot reputation of 82/100. cyntrow (2702)   ranked 2,053 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I've been listening to this song all afternoon, on vinyl, lol. Haven't heard it in years. Dug out the album this afternoon. I'm feeling lifted.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

Mine is on vinyl, too.

I'm thinking that for Christmas I'm gonna' get my dad one of those turntables that converts vinyl to digital files. Then I can borrow it. heehee

Actually I feel a sort of undulating motion within.. kind of bobbing and treading water for a while, then going somewhere with purpose, and then stop to tread water again... that is kind of what I feel.


myLot reputation of 82/100. cyntrow (2702)   ranked 2,053 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

And how does this make you feel; in your gut, in your heart? I'm asking because I've been in a downward spiral lately. This afternoon, while the kids were at school, I was doing some housework and I came across this Moody Blues album. I fired up my turn table and put on this song. I've been feeling peace ever since. It's the kind of peace I haven't had in a while.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OreoCookie3 (22476)  4 years ago

I feel content... I stop and start in my life.. I work in spurts and rest when I need to... and deep within I have a layer of sadness covered by contentment and acceptance.. I guess that is what i feel deep inside.

Wow...I mean...wow. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

Oh, The Moody Blues. Love their music. This has just lifted me right up and carried me back to the 70s. I was very happy at the time I remember listening to this music. I was a little young to be into this music at the time but I had older sisters.

What do I feel when I read this stanza? Hmmmmm..
A little proud of the storms I have risen above. Encouraged to face the music,
reminded of my favorite stanza of this song;

How many words have a got to say
How many times will it be this way
With you arms around the future
And your back up against the past
.......encouraged to dive back into the ocean I have avoided swimming in lately.

"How many words have a got to say How many times will it be this way With you arms around the future And your back up against the past"

Ahhhhhh, yes. I love that stanza as well. It's how I felt in my youth; how I hope to feel again.
