The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face
Just discovered that the Moody Blues song, Slide Zone, was written (according to Jim Dilettoso of Phoenix who would know) by John Lodge based on the band’s 1967 UFO sighting, which has strong indications of being an abduction. On Sept 6 Steve Boucher will relate the story (by a live Skype video call) of his 1971 St. Catharines, Ontario band that was abducted. We may podcast the first 40 minutes of the interview on Zoom. The lyrics to “Steppin in a Slide Zone” are;
“Steppin’ In A Slide Zone”
I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I’d never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ in a slide zone
He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ through a time zone
He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend that’s where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to glide
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ through a time zone
The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin’ through a time zone
I turned my head and looked below
And there was something there I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call
Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin’ in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Help me please I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin’ in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
