Monday Music "Your Wildest Dreams" By the Moody Blues

 This song came came out while I was stationed in Fort Devens for A.I.T. Remember I associate songs toto places and people and times. I didn't like the state or the location a whole lot. I did like the material though.   I do associate songs to where I was and to people.  I was toward the end of my time at A.I.T. it was a 9 month course, (Yeah it sucked at times)  Ayer Massachusetts existed to separate the G.I from their dollar as fast as possible with as much pain to the G.I in the process.  No we were not appreciated.  I will relate a story, I had gotten orders to go to Germany and in my orders was authorization to ship P.O.V. (Basically I could ship my car to Germany and the Army would pay for it.) and I went to the Ford dealership *Ayer Ford* and I was looking at a Tempo GT 

  I always thought the Car was futuristic and cool looking. well anyway...They wanted me to get approval from my Commanding officer...*Say What?* My Credit was good ...for a 20 year old soldier anyway...before even running my paperwork through Ford Motor Credit.   I was pissed.  So I went to *Lunenburg Ford* 12 miles away and bought my Mustang, and they didn't care, as long as my credit was good....and no I didn't get the 28% APR, LOL and no I didn't marry the stripper either.

  Not My mustang, but one like it, Same color and interior.   Well anyway.  I was good friends with a girl, she had joined after her son had died, she was married and her Husband was a Vietnam War veteran.  This was something that she felt that she had to do.  We became really good friends in the course, she was my bestie. we were inseparable, and no we never did anything inappropriate.  She was married and I ain't Jodi. Yeah I still think of her when I hear this song and hope she found the peace she was looking for.  I lost touch with her when I went to Germany, and she went to her Duty Station, through the mist of time I can't remember what it was, I want to say it was either Fort Lee, Meade or Lewis.  

 I did like the material though.   I do associate songs to where I was and to people.  I was toward the end of my time at A.I.T. it was a 9 month course, (Yeah it sucked at times) but 

"Your Wildest Dreams" is a 1986 single by the progressive rock band The Moody Blues, and it was written by the band's lead guitarist Justin Hayward. The song was first released as a single, and was later released on the Moody Blues 1986 album The Other Side of Life. It was a top-10 hit in the United States, peaking at #9, which had not happened to a Moody Blues song since "Nights in White Satin" in 1972. The song also became an Adult Contemporary number-one hit, and also charted at number two on the Mainstream Rock chart.
The Moody Blues' previous album, The Present, was relatively unsuccessful, although it did contain a couple of moderately successful singles. This caused the Moody Blues to lose some of their popularity among younger audiences. The success of "Your Wildest Dreams" reintroduced the Moody Blues to this younger audience, and their popularity was boosted even higher than before as a result.
With the band moving towards a more electronic sound, the Moody Blues relied less upon band member Ray Thomas and his flute skills—"Your Wildest Dreams" was one of the first singles not to feature Thomas at all—though Thomas would continue to be a major asset to the Moody Blues' concerts, as he would continue to play flute on their earlier songs, in addition to being a back-up vocalist.
The lyrics of "Your Wildest Dreams" tell the story of a man who is remembering his first love, and wonders if she remembers him the way he remembers her. "Your Wildest Dreams" was followed up by a sequel in 1988. The sequel is titled "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", and it appears on the Moody Blues album Sur la Mer.
A music video was also produced for "Your Wildest Dreams", which received a Billboard Video of the Year award. The video was frequently featured on MTV. The model in the video is Janet Spencer-Turner.
