1067 The Moody Blues - The Dream

The Moody Blues have quite a few of these "songitesimals" in their catalogue; they are another band from their music I could compose this entire theme week from. Many of these shorter tracks from their catalogue are comprised of odd music behind the reciting of poetry; this one is no different.
This track is actually part of a suite of music written by keyboardist Mike Pinder titled: Have You Heard. This track, The Dream, was used as an intro into the greater piece of music. It features a mellotron being played making odd sounds/music with poetry recited over it. While the lyrics were penned by drummer Graeme Edge they were performed on the album by Mike Pinder.
