First Time Hearing The Moody Blues - “Your Wildest Dreams” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@jamesedens8245]

This song's meaning becomes clear when you listen to it while viewing the video for the song.

[@metalmark1214]

A great Moody Blues song. This song is about "the one who got away." Feeling a bit nostalgic, the singer wonders if his long-lost love remembers him the way he remembers her. The song was written by The Moody Blues guitarist/singer Justin Hayward, said that it was inspired by a real person, but one that shall go nameless. Source: Songfacts

[@miconis123]

The video really helps show this. It's too bad they didn't watch it.

[@ms_forsaken236]

I grew up listening to the Moody Blues. They are one of my dad’s favorites. They have a lot of good songs. Nights in White Satin with an orchestra is out of this world!

[@jerickson725]

I have always loved this song. Thumbs up to whoever requested it, and great reaction Asia and BJ 😊❤❤.

Thank you!! 😊

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Had o look it up... I liked the Moody Blues back in the day (1974-79) and wondered on their career. 1964-1974 & 1977-2018!!! I did not know that! 😲😁

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Moody Blues "Nights in white satin" (original video) and "Candle of life" are both AMAZING!! I LOVVVE Moody Blues 💙💙

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

@BLOODY FACE I love that song so much. 💕

[@mikemurphy1700]

Now you have to do "I Know You're Out There Somewhere " which is the follow up song to this ...and this song is the sequel to Knights in White Satin and they are all about the same girl in Justin's life !!!!!!

[@harlandnelson8278]

You also have to watch the videos to this song and the video to the sequel "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." It begins where "In You're Wildest Dreams" ends.

[@shtoink2u2]

I first saw the Moody Blues live at Red Rocks in Colorado, along with the Denver Symphony.

[@guyray1504]

I got to see them live at Las Vegas in the mid 80's. I couldn't believe all that great music came from them. The best concert ever.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I've seen the Moodies twice; first and second row each time. It's an evening of poetic, musical artistry that few can know until they experience it.

[@randybass8842]

First time I saw them was the first time "festival seating" wasn't allowed. Festival seating was where the whole bottom of the coliseum was open for people to be wherever, but here they had assigned seating. My friends and I had stadium seats on the side which were fine, but many people would rush down to the aisles on the floor. The fire marshal would turn the overhead lights on to stop the concert and tell people to go back to their seats. This happened several times. Finally, the band said, "We have enough trouble dealing with your weak American electrical system as it is, and need all the power we can get, so please don't do anything to make them turn the lights on." People cheered at them dissing our electrical system and were well behaved after that.

[@bkm2797]

Nothing like them, they are in a class of their own. Thanks Asia and BJ

[@SG-js2qn]

This song is from a comeback era for the Moody Blues, in 1986, riding a wave of nostalgia. They're originally from the second half of the 1960s. What happened is that "Nights in White Satin" would keep getting rediscovered by audiences, and get play on the radio. So at one point they decided to put out another album.

[@keithosmond5730]

Not exactly. They were together from 1964 to 1974, then re-formed in 1979 and continued until a few years ago. They released quite a few albums through the 80s and had several hits that decade. Not just one album.

[@skidrix2432]

The Story in your eyes, question, the voice, dawning is the day are all great too. Love you guys!

[@modulator7861]

It’s a just a wonderful song.

[@jameskay7071]

The Moody Blues were my favorite group in high school, and I'm almost 70.

[@rickmclaughlin9710]

I remember when the video came out on MTV, yes, I am that old. I had never heard of The Moody Blues before this. When this came out, I was 16. Now, at 52, the song makes me very nostalgic. Remembering my youth and when I was the age my kids are.

[@charlestisron8391]

Everytime I hear this song it instantly takes me back to a time, a place, and a woman that I loved. It is a so sweet memory

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Love this song, and that tenor singing.❤️🎼❤️” once upon a time” like a fairytale 🎶🎶😊

[@WilliamCooper-l6f]

Every time I hear this song, I get in the mood for a lawn chair at the 🏖️ beach with my toes dug deep in the sand. The bass is just dominating this song and giving it a unique vibe, that goes well with the chiming sounds.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their Their "Question” and "The Voice"!!

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

You guys should take the time to find the official video of this song (it's difficult to find). Love this one. Y'all be safe.

[@an.american]

This song reminds me of my wife when I serving in the military and on deployment and how she was forever on my mind and how much I was missing her and our first born daughter. Thank you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jjflash1645]

A great group. Every song is a winner. I’ve never been disappointed. I started listening back in the mid-1960’s.

[@sandy2953]

the video for this does a great job of explaining what the song is about

[@janabraam7963]

The Moody Blues are so awesome! I was able to see them twice in concert. Please listen to more! I love you guys! "Nights in White Satin" is my favorite song of all time. But these guys have a whole library of fabulous songs that you should listen to. "The Story In Your Eyes" "I'm Just A Singer In a Rock and Roll Band" "The Voice" just to name a few.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Great song by the Moody Blues - they are such a diverse band! Clearly this tune is reflecting on a long lost love and still thinking about them. I am sure many of us may be able to relate to this!💔 The official video plays it all out. Thanks for posting this one guys!☺

[@VinE83656]

Watch the official video. It bounces back and forth between the him and his girlfriend. They were young and he was a musician and then in later days his band comes to town where she lives and she is married now and a mother. It's a sweet video and well done.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Moody Blues were a great band and I was able to see them in concert, great music

[@ladykristalginn6]

The Moody Blues were one of my dad's favorite bands. And this particular song is my favorite Moody Blues song. I was so excited to see y'all react!

[@brilof2112]

Another great reaction! Not only is he recalling a past love, the memory is triggered by a song ("when the music plays...) which reminds him that they parted because he needed to pursue his music ("I hear the sound I had to follow...") Been there, done that😕 As always, thanks for letting us tag along on your musical journey!

[@carlaharrington5120]

You two are a trip!!! Love your reactions, keep it up!!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thank you!! 😁

[@katherinebosse5706]

Moody Blues was my first concert…way back in their 1971 tour in Vancouver, Canada. They were my fav band for years, saw them many times…this one came out later on and always reminded me of the loss of my fiancé, he was killed in a car wreck at 19 yrs old. The lyrics always make me dream of him, wondering if he’s dreaming of me somewhere out there. “When the words are touched with sorrow” Thanks for this one guys, sweet, sweet memories! ❤️‍🔥

[@francesthompson593]

A that had their first hit in 1964, are unique their tracks always tell a story a real quality band of gifted Musicians!

This is off their last gasp early 80s album. Good tune. Gemini dream is another off that album I really like.

[@carollittle1059]

My teen years, loved them

[@TheMikeman1971]

Very good band . Love you two God bless. Feel good music.

[@michaelm6948]

This is one where the official video really enhances the song. It shows the context of the lost love at the center of the song.

[@glassontherocks]

Moody Blues Part 2 of this song " I Know you're out there somewhere" The videos are great to both.

[@fabian4ever69]

One of my favorites! Plus there is a sequel to this song. The story continues in their follow up song " I Know You're Out There Somewhere."

[@iowafinn2602]

I've seen them twice, playing with the Des Moines Symphony.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Always one of my favourites, since the day it was released !

[@glennburch1081]

I have always thought their Question of Balance record was their best effort (It is certainly my favorite). It charted #1 in the UK and #3 in the US, selling over 1 million copies however, Long Distance Voyager sold 1,360,000 copies. The iconic voice is the work of Justin Hayward who was inducted into the R&R HOF in 2018. Some must listens from QOB: It's Up To You, Minstrels Song, Meloncholy Man, and Dawning Is The Day. Thanks for reacting.

[@jeanettesmith765]

My favorite Moody Blues song!

[@gustonzimasheen]

There are some bands/musicians you listen to where watching the accompanying music video can be kind of detrimental to the music, as in it has nothing to do with the lyrics. "Your Wildest Dreams" is one of those songs, where it fits perfectly with the music video, and I hope you manage to see it one day. This always makes me nostalgic because it's music I grew up with listening to on the radio. Also I love the bass guitar in this.

[@dagmar.6954]

Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. They have a lot of great songs such as "Go Now", "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", Ride My See-Saw", "The Story In Your Eyes" etc. Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once.

[@double00spy]

There is a video version that is really good. Tells a really nice little story about the lead singer and a younger love, and how they almost connected years later.

[@maryannprzybycien2013]

LOVE this song. Lots of memories. ❤️

[@joanfisher1079]

I love the music video to this song. You should watch it as ot explains the song so much more and is very touching from a band starting put as kids to becoming successful and past loves and lives.

[@davidbentley145]

The reference to Love is referring to the summer of Love (67')...this isa sentimental song Thank you beautiful Peeps

[@gregmoquino7896]

I was watching your reaction to Marshall Tucker Band Heard It In A Love Song was the song and you were contemplating what music genre Marshall Tucker Band falls under they are southern rock also to help figure out what the Eagles fall under they are country rock

[@Cherazny]

This song is about "the one who got away."As one may feel a bit nostalgic, the singer wonders if his long-lost love remembers him the way he remembers her.

[@krisfox3537]

Agree with James. The song is clearer with the video. Lost love, high school love, and remembering the love of your past.

[@alecgough5179]

Go Now, from the 60's is their first big hit, I think, with Denny Lane on lead vocals, a great tune. Check it out guys.

[@jamielandis4308]

Prog rock royalty. Question, 22,000 Days, The Voice, Nights In White Satin (I think you did that one), The Story In Your Eyes, Meanwhile, Legend Of A Mind…and so many more!

[@JayTor2112]

Oh no, you didn't do the music video. That is a must for this one. It really helps tell the story.

[@hudsonhollow]

Song has a lot of meaning to me. Evokes deep emotions. 😯 High school sweetheart. Thirty years separated by life's circumstances and when we met again it seemed like 30 minutes for both of us.

[@jhamler1]

This effing song brings tears to my eyes. Thinking about the ones who got away. And then I think... Well, at least I was privileged enough to let more than one excellent lady get away. Oughta count myself lucky before assessing my own behavior. :)

[@kianpa1]

Such a great song. Thank you!

This song always reminds me of a girl I dated in college. We broke up, went our separate ways after graduation, ending up on different ends of the country. With FB, (after 30+ years) we have kind of reconnected, as friends. Asia... LOVE THE SHIRT!!! GO LIONS!!!

[@shawnaw601]

NO JOKE!! i heard this song as a kid and it was stuck in my head for almost 20 years. i tried humming it (off tune) to my mother, tried looking up the lyrics (i couldn't remember more than 3 in a row) --- one day after meeting my uncle for the first time this song came on while we were at the pool and i flipped out! they thought i had literally gone crazy. i listened to it on repeat for about 200 times. it is so catchy!!!

[@TwistedSisterHaratiofales]

The Video makes it so much better.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

You would probably also like "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" if you liked this. Also "The Question" and "Gemini Dream" they have plenty more though.
