John Lodge wrote "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", and the Moody Blues saved it for the last track on Seventh Sojourn, their 1972 album on Threshold, then sent it out the next year as the record's second single, hot on the heels of Lodge's "Isn't Life Strange". It's the band at their least cosmic: the basic tracks went down in Mike Pinder's garage, Graeme Edge's drums stroll in to start it, and the whole thing runs raw and driving. The lyric is a friendly warning to the fans: music can bring people together, but don't come to the band for answers.
It was the last Moody Blues single with a Mellotron on it, and their parting shot before a five-year break for solo projects. It never left the live set after that.
