What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



I always looked forward to a new Moodies release. Don't think they had a bad album. This one is up there with the
best. Love everything on side 1 and the final track which was the single that I recall, I'm Just A Singer, which
reached #36 in the U.K. and #12 here. Actually I don't think I loved that song when it came out, but it's a classic
now. Another single was Isn't Life Strange which fared better there at #13 and #29 here. Always loved how the group
traded off lead vocals, every member represented here. Hayward or Lodge were always my favorite, with Thomas close
behind. He gets my favorite track here with For My Lady, but the flute probably does it. This is the Moodies eighth
album. It reached #5 in the U.K. and was the groups first #1 in the states. The band parted after the recording and
tour for this album. Solo projects took root and it would be five years before they reunited for the next one. A
long wait for me, but I loved the solo albums too.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - When You're A Free Man

Best Track - For My Lady

My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
