THE MOODY BLUES LEGEND JOHN LODGE RELEASES NEW SINGLE, ‘THE SUN WILL SHINE’
Legendary Moody Blues bass player and vocalist and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee, John Lodge, recently released a new digital single entitled ‘The Sun Will Shine’
The song was written and recorded by John whilst ‘in isolation’ in Florida, and he took hope and inspiration from watching the sunrise every morning over Cocohatchee Bay. For John, the song is a reminder that we can choose to see the world and the challenges we all face, in a positive way… because the sun will shine again.
The Sun Will Shine is one of three songs written by John during the pandemic that will feature on his EP On Reflection. The other 2 tracks are instrumental Sunset Over Cocohatchee Bay and a 2021 remix of In These Crazy Times. The tracks continue John’s exploration of how the pandemic has affected him, demonstrate his always positive outlook on life, and echo many of his earlier Moodies compositions.
Check out the single below:
“Who could have thought this pandemic is still with us? I’m just grateful that I have my music to keep me company, and in a surreal way it has kept me focused on writing and recording new songs. I hope with these new songs to share with you my reflections of these times. It’s been a year since I was on the road with my 10,000 Light Years Band but we will see you again in the not-too-distant future. Thank you for keeping the faith!” – John Lodge April 2021.
The Sun Will Shine is performed by John and his ‘10,000 Light Years Band’, who recorded remotely due to the pandemic. Continuing their ongoing collaborations, Jon Davison from YES features on backing vocals.
The 10,000 Light Years Band are long term collaborators Alan Hewitt (Music Director and Keyboards) and Billy Ashbaugh (Drums) both from the Moody Blues touring band. Plus, Duffy King (Guitars) and Jason Charboneau (Cello).
