| The Moody Blues – Melancholy Man Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Well, I believe that Melancholy Man is actually Pinder himself. THe song has kind of a pacifist feeling to it in my opinion and refers to events at the time, such as the Cold War. "That we're going to keep growing, wait and see." Hopefully mankind will learn peace and end war, or they will develop new weapons. "When all the stars are falling down Into the sea and on the ground, " Stars = bombs. It's talking about a plane dropping a payload of bombs on innocent targets. "And angry voices carry on the wind," When all negotiations fail... "A beam of light will fill your head" You'll see the flash of a nuclear explosion. "And you'll remember what's been said" By all the good men this world's ever known. " Possibly a reference to Oppenheimer's quotes after reading *Hindu* (In Search of the Lost Chord? Om is a sacred text in Hindu) verses. "Another man is what you'll see, Who looks like you and looks like me, And yet somehow he will not feel the same, His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me, " The victims of Hiroshima/Nagasaki who won't ever recover. "'Cause he can't see what you and I can see. " Because of what man did to him, he has became angry and bitter. |

| This very obviously is a drug song! It may even be about Ray/ The Moodies themselves going to one of their concerts. | |
