Moody Blues singer/bassist
Lodge says he wrote the uplifting, melodic tune last year at his home on the southwest Florida coast during the COVID-19 lockdown, as he contemplated better times that hopefully will follow the health crisis.
â[T]his song actually really wrote itself,â John explains. âI picked my guitar and it started playing this song, strangely enough. And as the song was going along, the lyrics were coming along at the same time as the melody.â
He continues, âI realized I was writing this song about a hypothetical person, but it reallyâ¦was about life and all of us. And I soon realized, no matter really how you hide or how we see ourselves, the most important thing is to be positive.â

John Lodge Says Moody Blues ‘Won’t Tour Again’
Moody Blues fans have been watching and waiting, as the songs says, for something new from the band. But singer-bassist John Lodge isn t talking out of turn when he says such hopes may rank among, well, their wildest dreams. I don t think there ll be anything with the Moodys, Lodge says from his home in Naples, Fla., where he s been spending part of his quarantine writing and recording new material. I know the Moodys won t tour again. I would tour, but I know Justin [Hayward] doesn t want to tour with the Moodys, so it won t happen. Lodge adds that he s none too happy about it, but it s life, you know. And it s given him a charge to keep the group s music at the forefront of his own performances.
