Overall Meaning

In J. Hayward's song "No More Lies," he expresses his determination to live a better life that is free from negativity and toxicity. He starts off by saying that he will not let anyone hurt him, physically or emotionally, and that he will not choose a path that leads to destruction. He believes that with faith and trust in God, he can overcome any obstacles and achieve his dreams. The song continues with Hayward claiming that he is part of a royal lineage, and as a child of the King, he is free. He then repeats the chorus, proclaiming that he is done with living a life that is tangled, twisted, tainted, crooked, hurtful, fearful, or painful. Finally, he declares that the struggle is over, and that he is free from stress, pain, and headaches.

The central theme of the song is empowerment and self-betterment. The lyrics encourage listeners to break free from negative influences and to have faith in their abilities to achieve greatness. Hayward's use of religious imagery and language speaks to his belief that a higher power is guiding him towards his destiny. The repetition of "no more" throughout the song serves as a powerful affirmation and a call to action.

This live performance sounds so close to the original studio version, but different enough to be able to tell they weren’t just lip syncing. Justin Hayward’s voice is incredible.

Actually, I think Hayward’s vocals are live, but the backing track is the studio version, if I’m not mistaken.

"And when you stop and think about it, you won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving, has all been meant for you"

These words I wrote down and gave to my daughter when she was going through immense heartache.

I was reading over the comments on this thread and it's so obvious that a lot of the people that are into the Moody blues are deep feeling, very sensitive, a lot of them are spiritually inclined, individuals! There is so much heart and emotion expressed in these comments! So many of us looked deeper into their lyrics, and not just the music! I got caught up in a heroin epidemic in NYC back around 1975, and I felt I was a prisoner that would never break free of my addiction. Throughout the 70's and 80's their music kept speaking to me and was a big source of comfort during those dark years of my life! They kept alive a yearning in my heart to be free of the addiction and to know a relationship with the God of my understanding! They gave me hope, and I believe God spoke to me through their music and lyrics, and helped me not to give up and that there was something in this world that was good, and worth living for! I finally achieved freedom from my addiction in 1989!

+Allan Dinegar ~ Excellent post. Yes, I believe people who are into the Moody Blues are deep feeling, sensitive people. I have attended several Moody Blues concerts recently and can listen to their lyrics and music and it transports me back to a far different place. There is a song for practically every situation I find myself in. "I know you're out there somewhere" is one of my favorites as is "I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band". I can't understand why they have not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are one of the hardest working and most enduring bands out there. Good luck with your achievement. Congratulations on your hard work. My two grandsons were heroin addicts and they are working very hard at kicking the addiction. Both are back in rehab and one has 15 months of sobriety. I pray every day that they can beat this beast.

Allan Dinegar~
Congratulations on your recovery. Knowing of it gives me one more to add to the hundreds of thousands of reasons to be grateful to the Spirit (in the sky) that so many have given their own unique handle and billions have, and do, acknowledge as responsible for all we see and have yet to see; the one we see and hear in each other, when we look, if we listen; the one that is able to use the ordinary things we do, in our clumsy stumbling along life's paths, to reveal unto us that we are not the result of an "accident" nor are we here by happenstance.
For me it is a most forceful revelation when presented through the songs written, played, and performed by this group; evidently, I'm not the only one. I graduated in the beginning of summer in '68 and by the end of January 1969, I had completed about one and 1/2 weeks of boot camp at MCRD in San Diego. (that's Marine Corps Recruit Depot)
Amidst all the yelling, crying, screaming, violence, craziness, and chaos, their music was my anchor in the realm of normality, my reminder there WAS such a thing, and to it I often turned, seeking the restoration of some semblance of serenity, and tranquility.
Through them, it was always delivered; and so was I. Coming here today started by accident, but once I had arrived, it seemed the prudent thing to try finding some of my favorites, which I managed. But I'm a bit dismayed that I've not found one which, it seems at least to me, wouldn't, or maybe shouldn't, be absent considering the depth of the universal application with which the thoughts conveyed by the lyrics in so much of this music is, by so many of us, associated.
When I happened on the area provided for visitors to compose and leave comments, I thought first about just leaving an inquiry as to whether or not I had simply not looked in all the possible locations. But then I started reading comments others had made and when I read yours, it said that I would be making a mistake if I didn't say something and direct my remarks to you. Now! You have my congratulations and historical relationship with these gifted artists. Are you, or anyone else, able to tell me anything about the songs on the album entitled, "A Question of Balance"?
Here's to you, and your continued recovery success. B L E S S I N G S ! !

You might be, I'm not (not far off), but still appreciate 70s-80s. You're right though, chords do not move nowadays. Pick a key (usually C or G) and they just hang there. There are bangers out there, however, just gotta look. All the best. ;-)

Good point. The 60's exploded with a lot of great and new upcoming bands and sounds. The 70's started to morph into new melodic genre's with the advent of the progressive rock movement with the popularity of the Mellotron sound. The 80's produced some great talent too. After that............garbage. Since you mentioned there's no songs like this these days, it's not Moody Blues, but there is hope for the younger generation. Here's Contra Bass performing Deep Purple's Burn. Holy Moly. These guys are just kids. https://youtu.be/Lw6vsHuqoGw

I've seen them four times. the last time was the first for my wife. The first time with Mike Pinder, and always with Ray Thomas. Ray retired shortly after I saw them last.

The truest magic is never lost. It's always felt and heard deep
in our memories, renewing us all if we only dare to remember.
The Moody Blues awakened many to the magic all around us.

They don’t make anything like this intensely beautiful arrangement anymore do they ?
The emotional connection here runs deep as I’m revisiting my teenage years here, this group Always got my attention, apart from the sheer genius content of material they put out they were and still are unique, completely original too ,
Who replaced them ….,.that IS the Question
The answer was …,,No One!

I grew up listening to this. I remember being a small child and my mom playing A Question of Balance and us dancing and singing. Such a fantastic band!

In 1968 when I was eighteen I was in the US Navy on the Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise. I bought In Search of the Lost Chord at the ship's store for $1.50. I had a portable stereo set up behind my bunk. We were on a seven month cruise and I listened to that album nearly every night. It brought such peace to me under the circumstances. I know every word to every song on the album. Still when I hear the Moody Blues I am taken back to those days when I was on a warship in a combat zone but I was able to put on the Moody Blues and my headphones and be transported to an altogether different wo5.

This is not rock. It is modern classical music. One of my favorite bands! I saw them in the early seventies in Minneapolis. Unforgettable.

"Between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the seas, there lies a land I once lived in and she's waiting there for me.
But in the gray of the morning, my mind becomes confused, between the dead and the sleeping and the road that I must choose."
Genius songwriting....

So true.

Justin was and is, a true poet in every sense of the word. A romantic troubadour, giving voice to what we feel inside but can't express.

Hard to pick just one song as a favorite ....... But 'For My Lady' and 'Forever Autumn' are surely two of the most beautiful.

When I was 17 (I'm 68 now) I bought my first album. In Search of the Lost Chord. I went to sleep every night with my headphones on listening to their music. Memorizing every word, every note every beat. Justin's lyrics and music touched my soul and mind. Many of my beliefs about love and life came from his songs. I loved this group. They helped me through a very confusing, dark time in my life as I was coming to terms to who I am. I still listen to their Very Best of album while I read. And many of those songs still bring tears to my eyes when they sing about lost love "Once Upon A Time" and "I know you're out there". One of my favorite lyrics is "It's easier to try than to prove it can't be done, It's easier to stay than to turn around and run." I'm learning how to play the piano versions of all those songs, just for my own pleasure but I can't practice enough it feels so good to play their songs and sing to myself.

Hang in there. THEY carried me through some tough times, too. Out of more than 75 bands I saw they were one that got away but so had several albums.

Dave Cammack

@Mr. D. When I was stationed in San Jose and the Filmore West was still open I was glad I saw many of my favorite Bands. I got out of the Navy in 77 and I guess claustrophobia had set in, I stopped going to crowded concert halls. TG for MTV, and now YouTube. I keep watching to see if the MB's would ever come to Albany, NY but so far I haven't seen a date set up. March 20 Fleetwood Mac is coming but again I can't be in that type of crowd. But I own every album my favorite groups published. I've converted them to digital sounds and I have a 1TB Thumb Drive with my playlists on them. My grandkids tell me I'm stuck in the70's And I play them Jethro Tull's' "Too To RocknRoll, Too Young to Die," then they starting me what the lyrics to all those old songs mean.
Thanks for your replies.

@Dave Cammack
I had over 500 albums from late 60's to early 80's. My first early concert was the 3 day festival in Sedalia, MO, in July '74. After that I averaged one a month for the next 5 years. I lived 45 minutes outside Chicago and about 30 minutes from South Bend IN. Once I saw Alice Cooper in Chicago then 30 days later in South Bend. It was that good. Also, the first time Kansas played. Queen guitar player was sick so they filled in following Mott the Hoople, 1975. CHECK OUT ONE OF MY PLAYLISTS. Just click on my blue icon in upper left. ROCK ON and thanks for your service.
