Between the eyes and ears there lie,
The sounds of colour,
And the light of a sigh,
With thoughts of within
To exclude without
The ghost of a chord
Will expel all doubt
And to name this chord
Is important to some
So they give it a word
And the word is 'OM'


Just a little blurb of what is in the cover of this album, which is the third album by The Moody Blues.  The concept of this album is really an interesting one for me, since reading the sleeve, I feel that it touches more on searching for a sense of purpose and trying to find your inner self.  That's my perception of course, but after listening to this album, I can see that.  I think what I enjoyed the most from this album was the sound of the flute.  It's not everyday that albums have woodwind instruments and it took me back to when I was in high school, when I played in the band.

Enjoy!
