Obituary: Twilight Time


Original video located here. Accessed 5th January 2018

Song title: Twilight Time

Artist: The Moody Blues

Year: 1967

Why I like this song:

R.I.P. Ray Thomas

There's a lot a stylistic ground covered on Days of Future Passed and this is, hands down, the spookiest. Even to a point where one would think the Moodies didn't have it in them, let alone the songwriter Ray Thomas - I say that as he plays the flute, which is absent here, and his previous effort on the album, Another Morning, seems lightweight by comparison. 

Still I do recall this song (and it's parent album) making quite the impression on me when I was nine years old. So here's to you Ray.
