THE MOODY BLUES Founding Member MIKE PINDER Dead At 82

RIP Mike Pinder. (perdon Youtube ... :/)
Mike Pinder has died at age 82. He was one of the founding members of the Moody Blues.
It was my late cousin, David, who introduced me to the Moodys. He had an impressive record collection. One day, he pulled out "In Search of the Lost Chord" and played it for me. It was as if somebody had opened this door to a whole new universe for me. I still consider Chord to be the most important album I ever heard.
There was just so much going on. The layers of arrangements, the use of the mellotron, the lyrics...the sheer magnitude of the whole thing. It wasn't just a rock album. It was theater. It was poetry. It was connecting with something so big you felt you couldn't adequately describe it to anyone. To this day, I just tell people to listen to the album. Really listen to it. Give it your full attention. It can take you places.
Of Mike Pinder, I think the most apropos homage to him is..
"He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go....."
Namaste to you all. 🙏🕉

Moody Blues cofounder Mike Pinder has died at age 82. Born in Birmingham, U.K., he was part of the city's vibrant music scene and formed the "Moodies" in 1964 with Graeme Edge, Ray Thomas, Clint Warwick, and Denny Laine. In 1967, the group recorded "Days of Future Passed," which is now considered to be the first prog rock album. Here's more from Variety.

#RIP. #MikePinder, a founding member of The #MoodyBlues.
RIP Mike Pinder, claviériste émérite. Son mellotron était au cœur du son des Moody Blues pendant leur période classique (1967-1972), y compris sur scène : là où la plupart des autres groupes préféraient utiliser des bandes pré-enregistrées, Pinder avait réussi à dompter cet instrument atrocement capricieux pour le plier à sa volonté.
Plutôt que "Nights in White Satin", je vais réécouter "To Our Children's Children's Children" aujourd’hui, c'est mon album préféré du groupe.

I woke up today, I was 😢
Lost in a lost world
'Cause so many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation against nation, against nation
With racial pride sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
They think they're right
Living in their empty shells
Oh, can you see their 🌍 is crashing?
