Introducción

El anterior artículo lo dedicamos a los comienzos del grupo The Moody Blues hasta la publicación de su álbum The Magnificent Moodies en 1965. 

En este artículo continuamos su historia con los sencillos publicados en 1965.

En enero 2022 estará disponible el nuevo álbum de John Lodge

Historia

El deseo de la banda es continuar en la línea de éxitos, pero era más fácil decirlo que hacerlo. A pesar de sus esfuerzos por escribir otro hito y acceder al mercado americano, después de la versión de Go Now, The Moody Blues no volvió a tener otro éxito parecido. 

El tercer sencillo

El tercer sencillo del grupo, I Don't Want to Go on Without You, fue lanzado el 26 de febrero de 1965 en el Reino Unido, alcanzando el puesto 33 y permaneciendo 9 semanas en lista. En la cara B llevaba el tema Time Is on My Side. No se publicó en los Estados Unidos.

I need you, yes I do now

I will be so blue

I couldn't see your face

your face

oh...it's in this place

Here in the gloom

Of my lonely room

I hold her handkerchief

And smell her sweet perfume

I can't stand it

Leave home without you

O my Darlin' hear my plea

Come on back to me

Here in the gloom

In my lonely room

I hold her handkerchief

And smell her sweet perfume

I can't stand it

Leave home without you

Oh my darlin, hear my plea

Come on back to me

I can't stand it

I can't stand it

Leave home without you

Don't you go now

Letras

Time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say

That you want to be free

But you'll come running back (I said you would baby)

You'll come running back (I said so many times before)

You'll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

You're searching for good times

But just wait and see

You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)

You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)

You'll come running back to me

Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town

And baby, do everything your heart desires

Remember, I'll always be around

And I know, I know like I told you so many times before

You're gonna come back, baby

'Cause I know

You're gonna come back knocking

Yeah, knocking right on my door

Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side, yes it is

Time is on my side, yes it is

'Cause I got the real love

The kind that you need

You'll come running back (I said you would, baby)

You'll come running back (I don't always said you would)

You'll come running back to me (I won't have to worry no more)

Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is

Oh, time, time, time is on my side

Yeah, time, time, time is on my side

El cuarto sencillo

A finales de la primavera de 1965, la frustración es palpable dentro de la banda. El grupo decide hacer su cuarto sencillo, From the Bottom of My Heart (I Love You), un experimento con un sonido diferente, producido por Denny Cordell (con un sonido coral vocal hacia la conclusión que anticipó su sonido en "Nights in White Satin").  Fue lanzado el 25 de mayo de 1965 en el Reino Unido y en fecha parecida en Estados Unidos. desafortunadamente, el sencillo solo alcanzó el puesto 22 del top británico, permaneciendo 9 semanas en la lista. En la cara B se incluía el tema And My Baby's Gone.

I can't be with you anymore

In love with you

You gotta realise, baby

There ain't nowhere

I can find love anymore

That I can criticize

From the bottom of my heart

I really love you

Yes, I do now

It didn't take too long

To be sure

From the bottom of my heart

I really do

Things you do I admire

And I'm in love with you

You gotta realise, baby

Everyday our love grows

Higher and higher

I find no fault in you

I can criticize

From the bottom of my heart

I really love you

Yes, I do now

It didn't take too long to be sure

From the bottom of my heart

I really do

Now don't you ever go away

Without you

I just don't know

Where to start

I'm asking you to stay

And, baby, you know I've said it

From the bottom of my heart

It's so good

That I know

And I'm in love with you

All you gotta realise baby

As day by day

Our love will grow

I find no fault in you

I can criticize

From the bottom of my heart

I really love you

Yes, I do now

It didn't take too long

To be sure

From the bottom of my heart

I really do

Oh, I really do love you

I really do love you, babe

Without a love anymore

I'm like a rich man growing poor

All my treasures are stone

Siguiendo la misma tónica, en octubre de 1965 lanzan un nuevo sencillo en el Reino Unido, Everyday, otra canción de Pinder-Laine. En la cara B se incluye el tema You Don't (All The Time).  En noviembre de 1965 se publicó en Estados Unidos. En las listas británicas se estancó en el no. 44 en octubre de 1965 permaneciendo solo dos semanas en lista. En Estados Unidos no llegó a las listas.

Everyday someone finds a love, they say

And I know it will be okay

Yeah, love will come as it does to everyone

'Though I know it won't be too easy

Yeah, love means together then they throw it away

Throw it away is what they do everyday

But when love comes, we'll have fun

It's run, run, run, run, run

Everyday someone finds a love, they say

And I know it will be okay

Yeah, love will come as it does to everyone

Though I know it won't be too easy

Yes, when love comes, love comes and goes within a day

So, when it comes to me, I'm gonna make sure it stays

The Moody Blues - You Don't (All The Time) - 1965

Letras

You don't and I can't make you love me

You won't even get to thinking of me

All the time I try to do things which might make you care

All the time, no matter what I do, I can't get anywhere

All the time I love you, what about you?

You don't and it's a fact I've got to face

You won't put yourself here in my place

All the time I see your smile, but never one for me

All the time, no matter what I do, I just can't make you see

All the time I love you, what about you?

All the time sorrow

I'm troubled in my mind

How will you love tomorrow?

Yesterday has been so kind

You don't and it's a fact I've got to face

You won't put yourself here in my place

All the time I try to do things which might make you care

All the time, no matter what I do, I can't get anywhere

All the time I love you, what about you?

You don't, you don't, you don't

You don't, you don't, you don't
