It was time for a Doug's Choice in the Extended Play Lounge, and I chose to continue on our journey through the discography of The Moody Blues. This time, it's their album To Our Children's Children's Children...a lovely and layered album inspired by the space race.

I was quite taken with the album's consistency, beautiful melodies, and layered vocals and instrumentation. I hope you enjoy!

A couple of ways to read "Watching and Waiting": one, returning to the "place in the universe remaining constant despite change" is that it's written from the perspective of Earth itself. But it also might be read as written from the perspective of another planet, perhaps soon to be settled by space-faring humans, hoping to share its bounties ("my fields and my forests") with its new inhabitants.

Dr. Doug, considering that I sent you the vinyl copies sight unseen strictly for you to indulge in the artwork, figuring you would stream the audio from elsewhere, I watch these EPLs with mild trepidation. I am very pleased that so far each copy coincidentally has been a VG rated copy, and we haven’t experienced any major skips. *whew* Now, at some point you really should study the album art during a listen. The art is an important part of the concept, and occasionally a deeper meaning to the album may be revealed within it.
