Bedsitter people look back and lament.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend.

In your wildest dreams

Those gentle voices I hear exclaim it all with a sigh.

In your wildest dreams

What knight would wear white satin? no knight would be caught dead wearing white satin no wonder they never reached the end

This lyric really makes me laugh! I mean, well, yeah! I can't really explain the funniness but say it out loud. XD

This is pretty much the entire chorus. Anybody who spends that much time wondering about what could have been must be some somekind of desperate looser.

Just count the Somewhere's and the Somehow's

A reply to Jason: This is not at all nonesense! People often write such letters. It is a good way to vent your anger. Write the letter, set it aside and when your anger has cooled re-read it to decide if you really want to send it. Psychologists often give this advice as a way of helping you to sort out your feelings.

What's the sense in writing a letter if you're not going to send it?

I doubt John and Ray meant it in this song but really, think about it.

Winds of Change by Eric Burdon and the Animals

Definitely a blast from the past!

Back in 1965, the Moody Blues were much more of jazzier rockin' blues group than they would later become and were the new English crossover to America find. Although their U.S. Top 10 hit, "Go Now!" had already been a #1 hit in the UK back in 1964, and originally it was recorded in the 1920's by American jazz/blues artists, Bessie Banks (the song is written by Bessie's husband, Larry Banks and Milton Bennett). The song had an obvious upbeat tempo (good dance tune) but is obviously about the depressing feeling someone gets (in the Moody Blues' case, from the perspective of a man) when their lover breaks things off with them, but then won't leave them. And the Moody Blues made it even more poignant with the vocal stylings of then lead singer, Denny Laine and the pounding keyboards of Mike Ponder and the sharp stylings on the tambourine of percussionist Ray Thomas. In the early 1990's, the Moody Blues' version of "Go Now!" got new life when the British TV comedy show, "Splitting Image" used it in an episode regarding the feelings many Brits felt at the time that then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher should resign. "Go Now!" was also later recorded by Ozzy Osbourne. Unfortunately, the Moody Blues have been one of those few progressive rock artists of the 1960's and 1970's (into the 1980's and 90's) not to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
