iReport —

This was the first album of music I listened to after my near death experience that moved me. Nights in White Satin expressed in words and music the feelings I experienced.

Today some forty years later, I am still moved by that song as well as others on this album.

 

I believe that music can change how we think and influences us in subtle ways.

 

An excerpt of the lyrics...

"Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore

 

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

Oh how I love you

 

Gazing at people

Some hand in hand

Just what I'm going through

They can't understand

 

Some try to tell me

Thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be

You will be in the end"
