"Island"
... ist inzwischen mein persönlicher Lieblingssong von Moody Blues, das einzige Relikt der Sessions für "The Eigth Sojourn" in 1973.
Schöner Text, und der Refrain hat wohl eine der besten Melodien, die es gibt. Tolles Mellotron und Spinett, und die Instrumentalteile in der Mitte sind auch nur vorzüglich.

Are you hearing that lonely laughter
as the lights go out on you ?
Are you getting that sinking feeling
as the truth slips into view ?
But if you care, don't run away
the freedom's inside your head
That's what we said.
Are you sittin' on a tiny island
as the time rolls in on you?
Are you getting that sinking feeling
as it all comes on to you ?
Pictures of wings
that take you home
on to the world you need
That's what you need.
Are you hearing that lonely laughter
as the lights go out on you ?
Are you getting that sinking feeling
as the truth slips into view ?
But if you care, don't run away
the freedom's inside your head
That's what we said.
