Summary quotation from Wikipedia:
Question is a 1970 single by the English progressive rock band The Moody Blues. It was written by guitarist Justin Hayward, who provides lead vocals. Question was first released as a single in April 1970, and was later featured as the lead track on the 1970 album A Question of Balance. The single also features the song Candle of Life on its B-side, which was from the Moody Blues previous album To Our Childrens Childrens Children.
Originally, the song itself was also to have been named A Question of Balance, but was shortened to Question. The lyrics of the chorus, Why do we never get an answer, when were knocking at the door/ With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?, represented Haywards feelings and attitude toward the Vietnam War.
At the time, Question was a simple recording for the Moody Blues. Their previous album, To Our Childrens Childrens Children, featured songs which included many different sounds provided by overdubbing and double-tracking. Unfortunately, this made most of the songs on the album very difficult to perform live. For this reason, Question was recorded in one take, and did not need any overdubbing or double-tracking, making it easier for the Moody Blues to perform live. It was written in Open-C tuning (CGCGCE) and recorded (and usually performed live) on a 12-string acoustic guitar.
The song alternates between two different melodies: a fast-paced section (Why do we never get an answer ) and a slower one (Its not the way that you say it when you do those things to me ). Hayward has said that these were originally two separate half-completed songs, but he realized that with a simple chord change, he could merge the two into a single song.
Question is one of the Moody Blues most popular songs, and has been included in virtually all of their compilation and live albums. In addition, the song was re-recorded (along with Isnt Life Strange) in the studio with an orchestra in 1988, for the Greatest Hits album.
The London Symphony Orchestra released an orchestral cover of the song in 1978 on its album Classic Rock: The Second Movement.
