Romantic prog masterpiece with a strong symphonic accent. Wind instruments and triumphant melodies, pompous yet elegant arrangements. A very English voice completes the musical ensemble.
Moody Blues: the Sad Lunatics? Moody perhaps for the variety of musical moods that delight the listener's ear? Who knows! Sad the evidence of the sound and vocal timbre... Days of Future Passed, an excellent tribute to classical music.
Within the span of a day... the day begins, yes, a new sun rises. Dawn is a feeling! Rituality and everyday life: the same old story... Another Morning. Lunchtime, the peak! But the idyll is destined to end... the afternoon and evening pass relentlessly fast. Yet the night seems never to end, destined to spend it sleepless, awake reflecting on the loss of one's love. A night in white satin closes the work! The auditory instrument rests and reprocesses the joyful melodies now gone, now miles away.
Days of future passed, aren't we perhaps living them too? Times of crisis, times of amnesia and déjà vu. The world is upside down. Days of future passed, days that can no longer be recovered, a lost future... days of future passed for all of us.

The Moody Blues embark on this album with the not-so-easy task of constructing a concept album based on the flow of time over the 24 hours of a day.
"Days Of Future Passed" will become your travel companion throughout the duration of each day you live and will never abandon you, I assure you.

The songs all have a symphonic introduction and conclusion, which lengthens and breaks the pieces, both between themselves and within them.
In my opinion, the songs could have retained their beauty even without the symphonic component, which makes everything appear a bit artificial and cumbersome.
