This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 368 with John Lodge from The Moody Blues.
John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is to release a new version of his classic hit ‘Ride My See-Saw’ out on Keeping the Faith for Halesouth Ltd, distributed by BFD/The Orchard. The song also features Jon Davison of YES on backing vocals.
The song was recorded live in Las Vegas on ‘The Royal Affair Tour’, and appears on John’s new live album, ‘The Royal Affair and After’ due for release on December 3rd, and available now for pre-order here. This is the first single from the album, and Ultimate Classic Rock has premiered the video here: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/john-lodge-ride-my-see-saw-video
"Ride My See-Saw" was written by Lodge, and was one of two singles from their In Search of the Lost Chord album released in 1967. Billboard described it at the time as a "blockbuster rocker" and a "mover from start to finish", and John’s new version continues to be that ‘rocker’ today! The song explores the idea of knowledge in a changing world, and ponders the question if perhaps what we are taught is not how things really are. Despite being 54 years old, the theme, and the sound, are as relevant today as they were back then.
