"Dear Diary" is a 1969 song by the progressive rock band The Moody Blues. Written by the band's flautist Ray Thomas, "Dear Diary" was first released on the 1969 album ''On the Threshold of a Dream''. The lyrics of "Dear Diary" draw inspiration from the Eastern concept of Maya (illusion), and basically describe a man's alienation from the illusions of normal society. He sees people "rushing around so senselessly" and posits that "if they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see, there's a much better way for them to be." In the bridge of the song, the narrator states: "They don't know what they're playing, They've no way of knowing what the game is, Still they carry on, doing what they can." The song itself has a slow, ethereal sound to it, and Ray Thomas's lead vocal track is run through a Leslie speaker for an eerie effect. In a moment of humor typical of Thomas's writing, the song ends with the narrator remarking that someone had exploded an H bomb, but not anyone he knew. ==Personnel== * Ray Thomas: lead vocals, flute, Leslie speaker, EMS VCS 3 * Justin Hayward: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, backing vocals * John Lodge: bass guitar, backing vocals * Mike Pinder: mellotron, piano * Graeme Edge: drums, percussion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dear Diary (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
