There is a 60s mini-epic that's almost a carbon copy of Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin, though it bears a resemblance with David McWilliams Days of Pearly Spencer as well. It's a slowly moving song. When the vocalist is done, the song fade-out takes forever and consists of epic violins and a mellotron repeating a very very melancholy melody over and over.
Who and what is it?!!
I grew up with this song in de seventees, as part of the radio's golden oldies selection. I have no idea about the artist or name of the song and can't remember any part of the lyrics. The song is not mentioned in the 60's mini-epics thread, as I checked all those songs out.
Please shoot, al possibilities are welcome...

When I first hear Creed's "Higher" I thought it was "Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company. Not that it matters as I deeply hate both songs.

No it wasn't fuckin' ME and they sound NOTHING alike. The Crue ripped off the middle-eight of "Love Like Blood" for the intro to "Dr.Feelgood", if that makes you feel any better.

You can almost sing one's lyrics over the other's tune, interchangably.

Do you have any reason to believe this was intentional? I haven't heard the Hot Rods song, but the idea of there being a link between these two bands is rather interesting, I think.

Two songs on the same album no less. "Stories" even has a bit of 'the one I love' in the lyrics. "No One" is really the riff more than the way the lyrics work over the song.

Great idea for DJ Shadow, if hasn't already done this -- scratch "DJ's the man we love the most" over Midnight in a Perfect World.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with him?

Yeah the internet is wrong on that. Though it is interesting given the fact that Midnight in a Perfect World also samples a song called "Sower of Seeds".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zFhsViLAjY

This might be a stretch, but it just occurred to me that King Floyd's 'Groove Me' and the Rolling Stones' 'Tumbling Dice' have a fairly similar verse structure.
