The Moody Blues are inviting you to ride their seesaw. The song admits a level of wanting to transcend all the madness but, alas, we&#8217;re on the ride and if you want to be with those guys you have to get on board. And heck, how bad can it be? Men that can put their voices into harmony like that have something extra going for them.<\/p>\n<p>When we arrive in the 1980s, love is about alienation &#8212; &#8220;I ran \/ I ran so far away \/ couldn&#8217;t get away.&#8221; In &#8220;Space Age Love Song,&#8221; romance has taken over, though a fleeting spell. It&#8217;s the space age and all, and life is about falling in love, though notably, just for a little while. There is a cleanliness to the emotions, as if nobody wants to go too deep. There&#8217;s also a sense that the alienation is being turned into a sense of individuality, which is too delicate and precious to risk.<\/p>\n<p>Given the choice of which trip to take, I&#8217;ll go for the seesaw ride any day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know these guys get made fun of a lot.
