WHO the heck is writing down these lyrics? Obviously, this person is that individual who sings the wrong words and wonders why everyone is laughing at him.
Why? On my Moody Blues station. I thought I left them behind on the dance floor at my Prom in '74.
you took the words right outta my head...how incomprehens i b l e can 'whoa oh oh' be?
what moron transcribed the lyrics?

Pretty sure some of the lyrics are wrong - when you click on the song title it brings up the lyrics. Lines like "they just keep on looking to the easy way" - I always thought they said "they just keep on looking to the East" which makes sense since the Orient is referred to as "the far east". Some of the other lyrics seem wrong too, but this is the one I am sure is wrong. Any know for sure?
reminds me of a love in california .southern cal.huntingt i n g beach. the 70"s we drove to San Diego.He said you are going to marry the wrong person.. hummm I married him many years later. I often wonder today how he is.....

but he comes back to me through music....... .
Great song one of their best.

Wall-o-sound ? I always think of that as just a driving, powerful, in-your-face rock-out that doesn't stop. Springsteen does it a lot. So do the Foo Fighters. It can be done with very few instruments as long as the chords are big, but it works better with multiple layers of instrumentat i o n . Think of it as someone hitting you in the face with a big frying pan and then standing on it while you lay on the ground.
What's "wall-o-soun d " ?
