Subject: RE: BS: Vinyl is fun
Definately. I've always loved that one...now it's really haunting to me. In October, 14 of us student from ECU's Newman Center, my 2 sisters, and our priest Father Tom all went on a mid-semester beach retreat down at Atlantic Beach here in Eastern NC, to just slack off and have fun for the weekend (see previous threads). When we were driving to the beach house, I was playing my Moodies Anthology Album. Of course I heard Voices in The Sky as we drove through Indian Beach. After that first night, when we went out beach walking at 1:30am under the Full moonlight...and later going to sleep with the wind and the ocean roaring outside, the lines "Look what has happened to me, I lie awake with the sound of the sea calling to me..." received new meaning for me. I will never be able to hear that song again without getting a shivers...of that most special time we spent together.

Oh yes, back to the topic! Yes it's a great rendition of the song! I have a couple tapes of the Moodies material back when they were still a little known Birmingham R&B band. It's some really awesome music.

As for me right now, "Dawn Is a Feeling" is sticking in my head. (I got Days of Future Passed for Christmas.)
