I had thought that we were doing an arty kind of thing but what we found out was that the people who loved us were working Americans,
says the leader Justin Hayward.
We played all these industrial towns – Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit – and got a really strong, loyal audience.
Mike Pinder:
It really was about being on the threshold of a dream of humanity. And the theme of (Music) To Our Children’s Children’s Children was about being out in space, preparing to land on another planet.
Wow!
Tensions develop and then things start to be said which can’t be unsaid. We were forming camps within the band. And people would move camps. It all became very insular,
add Justin.
John Lodge reckons Seventh Sojourn is a “fabulous culmination” of what the band had been building up to.
Yes it was it, a great mystical album. And the end by Lodge.
Sometimes you have to step back and let everything flow over you before you make a decision.But it was a piece of world history.
Justin:
It’s like a room in the house that only I go into. I exist as a different person in that room. It’s where all of those songs and this other person live. All of those songs were about that room and the things that happened in there with the band. There’s colour and light and imagination, childhood wonder, love and peace – this whole fantasy world. That’s what it was about and that’s what’s on those records.
Good so.
