Not going to end the night with that hideous banging in my, or your, ears.
The song that was the basis for the selfie video posted last night was For My Lady by the Moody Blues (1972). My God, almost fifty years ago. I went to the grocery store yesterday and one of the the Moodies' other songs was playing as background. I came home and listened to parts of several trying to find the one that so moved me when I was a freshman or sophomore in college. I found it, it was not For My Lady, but when I listened to the latter it was so reverential and of course I had been thinking of my country, the words I substituted in the selfie.
For My Lady is reverential toward women. The flute stanzas of the chorus have an unusual (Irish? Scotch?) lilt to them and a swaying cadence. You can see Ray Thomas' arm and the background ladies swaying. For My Lady is the sweetest, most loving paean to women. And so for the better half of our species, this tribute from the Moody Blues and Ray, who wrote and sang the song. Good night.
