A good friend is a big Moodies fan. Long ago I told him that Moodies songs are like original Star Trek episodes. The good ones are really really good; the bad ones are just gawdawful. Exhibit A: Tuesday Afternoon. Exhibit B: Melancholy Man.
They certainly don't sound like "Go Now."
"Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion?."
Who the hell writes stuff like that? Must have been some serious drugs.
Their catalog of music is great even though they have a few duds and a few overwrought pretentious songs as well.
