The Story in Your Eyes

About The Story in Your Eyes

"The Story in Your Eyes" is a 1971 hit single by the English rock band the Moody Blues. Written by the band's guitarist Justin Hayward, it was first released as a single with "My Song" on the B-side, and then on the 1971 album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour shortly after. "The Story in Your Eyes" was the Moody Blues' final single to feature the Mellotron as it would be supplanted by the chamberlin, a similar instrument in time for their next album, Seventh Sojourn. The SACD release of the album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour contains a version of "The Story in Your Eyes" that has the Mellotron in dominant role. The distinctive picture sleeve used for the French single release used a photograph of a close-up face with the Threshold logo in place of the mouth. more »
