First Time Hearing Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin Reaction

[@thevoiceofthelordpastorkei7165]

Let's not forget the fact that all of these guys are now in their 70's as well AND STILL rocking it!

[@Dee-eq1pg]

And they sound the same!

[@soultrampamplification8425]

This is what happens when every member of the band is an accomplished musician and songwriter.

[@chrisholland6052]

You are listening to a true rock masterpiece. The Moody Blues are one of the most versatile groups ever. Between them they could play 35 different instruments.

[@cynthiachamberlain8985]

His voice is out of this world.!!❤😊❤

[@rosegarner299]

I grew up with this song. Love this song. The Moody Blues was an underrated band back in the day. Glad to see young folks that appreciate good music, and I hope your generation will keep it alive. By the way, you mentioned the flute solo, another good song with some good flute playing is The Marshall Tucker Band "Heard It In A Love Song"

[@ShadowBob-m5s]

Hey Shon, it gives me great pleasure to see people love the music I have loved for over 50 years, still gives me the chills deep down.

[@marymagness7467]

Shon, ABSOLUTELY! The Moody Blues were/are one-of-a-kind. None before and none after! ❤

[@alisonmontana8895]

What a lot of people that refused to listen to Rock and Roll back in the day didn't realize was that it wasn't just one kind of music, it was a freedom that artist had to do classical to hard rock. This is just as much Rock and Roll as Led Zepplin, or Black Sabbath. Rock and Roll included all expressions of the soul.

[@redneckhippy2020]

One of the baddest flute solos in history.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Band member Justin Hayward (lead singer) wrote and composed the song at age 19 while touring in Belgium and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward.

[@Morgana0x]

The singer wrote this song when he was 19. There is also a poem after the song in the original video.

[@oldschool72]

All these senior band members have been together since 1964...The lead singer performing Justin Hayward joined the band in 1966.. This Song was released in 1967..they were part of the British invasion to the US in the 60's..The flutist and the drummer have passed away in the last couple years. Justin Hayward is now 77 years old and still performing. I am a bit older and still have all their songs on 45 RPM. One of my favorite groups.

[@dragonfire1842]

You have grown to realize that music isn't just music, but art. It opens your minds to worlds and experiences that make life worth living. Music that can evoke an emotional responses really is art.

[@susanwenner8738]

This is a masterpiece of sounds and one of the most enjoyed albums of the 1970’s. When music was great!!

[@wendyreveyoso3731]

I have always loved this song, i think its so hauntingly beautiful ❤

[@dow311]

One of my many favorite songs by the Moody Blues.

[@oldschool72]

The Flute is one of the few non reed instruments that you blow into without putting your lips around the Mouthpiece. One of the hardest wind instruments to master. I played the flute 65 years ago but gave it up for the clarinet.

[@ruthlafler5622]

Right. You blow across the opening of a flute, not into it. Most people consider reed instruments to be harder, though. I did.

[@randalllebrun7098]

You are THE best.......love seeing your music appreciation grow. Best reactor bar none. Cheers from Vancouver.

[@Dee-eq1pg]

This song is a whole different vibe. Just perfect.

[@cindiherriott3259]

Gotta agree 100%… a true rock masterpiece!

[@BobBlanchardMarketer]

Justin Haywood, the singer, wrote this song back in 1967 when he was 19 back in 1967.

[@freddiejamscat]

playing a flute is just like blowing across the top of a pop bottle 😎

[@wallacewhipps1206]

This is the poem that goes with Nights in White Satin at the end of the song. It's only on the album Days of Future Passed. I don't know why he didn't recite it at this concert. Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion?

[@creinicke1000]

Yes.. the album was an experience of Life. Not hearing the spoken poem at the end is missed.

[@davidw.hulbertiv5211]

Suckles, not settled...

[@SuperVonKiller]

❤

[@sylvanaire]

Not having the poem at the end of the song is like they just took a knife & cut the song in half, it’s just not finished w/out it, imo. So beautiful!❤

[@suzannebaker5270]

Thanks for that!

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

This is one of my fav songs ever! I heard this when I was growing up in the 70's and I used to sing along but I had no idea what the song was about. I thought it was Knights in white satin and I pictured a bunch of old English Knights running around in white satin! LOL... this song touched my heart as a young girl and today it still does each time I hear it. Thanks for a great reaction video. Be sure and watch the original video of this song.. it's phenomenal.

[@TheNotedHero]

Hahaha! It's not just me! As a young kid in the late 70s/early 80s, I also imagined knights running around doing heroic things for love.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

@@TheNotedHero I'm glad to know it isn't just me!! LOL... at least you had the theme correct! LOL... wishing you all the best!

[@productivepenguin8865]

OMG! Now that's a funny image! Lol.

[@dagmar.6954]

"Nights In White Satin" is their most famous song. Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. Lots of great songs such as "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice" etc. All of their music is great! Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly Ray Thomas their flute player & singer passed away in 2018 & their drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021.

[@racheldavis6581]

Ooooooo!!! You're reacting to music NO ONE ELSE DOES! True masterpiece.

[@MiqeIrving]

The whole album of Days of Future Past is amazing.

[@Scottmasopust]

Just saw Justin the singer last month his voice is still incredible!

[@carolpurcell1772]

You do know what this means my son? You HAVE that musical gift that makes you very, VERY special. It has been my privilege to mentor many young people as they found their their gifts on their musical journey. It was turning points like thiw with they discover their musical soul. I believe you have just found yours. Do not let your journey end. Your eyes and ears have been opened. Embrace this time. God bless you.

[@stevewalsh4850]

I seen them a couple of times some 40 years ago with complete orchestra Unbelievable show, lots of emotion

[@stevetillcock7361]

The Moody Blues are up there in the royalty.

[@debhuss6826]

I loved your reaction. One of my favorite songs when I was a kid. This singer makes you feel what he’s feeling. A hauntingly beautiful song, and the orchestra adds so much.

[@xiurong888]

The way to play the flute is to blow across the top of the mouthpiece, just like you saw in this.

[@sandraandmichaelfield1602]

The Moody Blues were one of the first to use a moog synthesizer. Soon after began what became known as Progressive Rock with Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, to name a few. I'm sure your many followers will recommend early 70's Yes to start with. Enjoy your journey! With Peace and Love to you and all! (Michael)

[@junebug_tx2305]

'White Satin' are the sheets on the bed they spent their nights on ....'Nights on White Satin'...remembering their love. Great reaction.

[@anthonypuzyn194]

Nice reaction video brother, I love his voice and emotional impact he delivers, I grew up listening to him in my childhood and now in my twilight. Subscribed.

[@realityisiamthespoonthefor6735]

Moody blues were a truly GREAT band

[@CynthiaWinter-c3o]

The studio version features a poem at the end. It takes Nights in White Satin to another level.

[@NowVs1980s]

Hauntingly beautiful. I remember listening to this song growing up as a child in the 70's and it hit me like it still does today. Classic 🎶🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@angelaarsenault]

Ahhhh. . .Moody Blues. . .I love everything by them. My favorite song by them is "I Know You're Out There Somewhere"

[@emilyflotilla931]

"Watching and Waiting " is a hidden gem.

[@msgypsyheart22]

Concise, intelligent and insightful comments without rambling on n on ; love it. Also enjoy seeing your face light up when you like what you're hearing. Thanks for the awesome music and reactions.

[@Shasha-yg1mm]

Definitely one of my favorite bands from that time period. I was in Junior high. Time goes by but the love for the music of back then is still strong.

[@wendychalubinski9292]

I really enjoy your reviews as they show such sincere, intelligent, enthusiasm for such a wide variety of styles and genres . Keep up the good work 🥰

[@natishagough]

I'm 43 and my mom played them all of the time. They inspired me to play the flute in school. One of my favorite bands 💓

[@natishagough]

I love that you liked it. It is beautiful ❤️

[@LG-lk5es]

I grew up with ALL their music. They are a core memory from my childhood 😂. My mom loves them

[@LG-lk5es]

Sidenote ..like Fleetwood Mac’s the dance…people singing and playing actual instruments …there’s so many layers ..omfg

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Moody Blues "Candle of life" 🕯️❤️

[@TerryL421]

I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1967 at age 7. This live performance with the orchestra was incredible. I really loved watching your reaction to this beautiful song.

[@Fedup-4023]

The Singer wrote & Sung it back in 1967 & SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME!!!

[@steveullrich7737]

One of my favorite songs ever. You need to listen to this whole concept album "Days of Future Pass". It tells the story in song of a day from morning to evening.

[@3generboiler]

Great to hear you’re enjoying the various musical experiences.. sometimes, I think if someone saw my list, they would think I’m very open minded or perhaps very nuts :)

[@richierich4538]

Another incredible song featuring an orchestra is "Whiter shade of pale"by Procol Harum!! 🔥

[@davidd3948]

Ha! 😂 Satin is a fabric used sometimes for bed sheets. Kind of like silk. Love your videos. Probably the one channel I like at the very beginning cuz I know the reaction will be on point. Keep up the work. And if you get a chance, check out some Ted Nugent - Stranglehold. Think you'll like it. Studio version.

[@emilyflotilla931]

My GOAT band, when i don't know what else to play. Saw them live in 2016, still amazing! ❤

[@jeffreyes6236]

You should listen to the studio version of the song. At the end there is a section of spoken verses with great lyrics before the ending that you just heard. There are some great lines in those verses ("young lovers wrestle as one, senior citizens wish they were young"). Love to hear that you now appreciate many genres of music. Song reaction sites like yours are one of the most wonderful results of our modern social media-driven age!

[@creinicke1000]

I used to put my record player on with this album on.. (back in the day the record would play and turn off when it finished the side) and I'd lay in bed going to sleep listening to the album.. it was a story.. as a teen I really had no Idea what it was about, but it was dreamy.

[@davidw.hulbertiv5211]

Thank you..I really appreciate your perspective... You will LOVE the GOOD, the BAD & the UGLY, with the Danish National Orchestra...

[@raraujo4951]

Great reaction Shon!! ... written in 1967, one of the greatest moody blues timeless tunes... considered one of the first Symphonic / Progressive Rock artwork... a masterpiece that has influenced and captivated generations since...

[@marianbirks6594]

Saw them in concert several times in 1969/70, they lived in my hometown

[@joemomma3695]

What a great mix for a live show. Top notch 👌 👏 👍

[@maryannturton9830]

Shon,if you want a kick ass madman flute solo,you MUST listen to Locomotive Breath live video version by Jethro Tull! You have NEVER seen anyone slay a flute like Ian Andersen! I dare ya....😉👊

[@larryC1070]

When I was in high school in the 70's this was the best slow dance song ever!

[@LDSVenus]

This was always one of my favorite songs.

[@Mr.Thriver]

This song is from the album "Days of Future Passed" released in 1967 by The Moody Blues. What we just heard is a live version many years later. The album is worth a listen and is a classic!!!! Thank YOU Shon!!! Your enthusiasm added to the enjoyment of the piece itself!!!! I'm going to Subscribe!

[@katyhughes6740]

You are one of my favourite reactors! Your face literally says how music makes you feel, its absolutely brilliant to see you appreciate all the different eras, genres and incredible talents 😊

[@dennisflury6942]

I like the way you think! 60s 70s were incredible! This is one of the finer examples,

[@helenjohnston3490]

Justin was 67 at this concert.Today he 76 years old and is on tour

[@dow311]

I’m glad that you are listening to music that you normally wouldn’t . I too get to hear songs that I never would of listen to too.

[@Bobbiegirl27]

If you haven’t heard The Mamas and The Papas’ Creeque Alley, I think you would really enjoy it. Fantastic writing and one you will never forget once you hear it for the first time.

[@desertdee1]

I've seen the Moody Blues a couple times in concert. Always great, always. Just wish they would have done the poem at the end. It's needed, and wanted. :)

[@SalManila1]

This song in the album "Days of Futuer Past" was released on 1967.

[@shadow1674]

finally my song thank you I needed it ................. shadow

[@DANIGAL101]

So Glad you discovered this song. They are amazing. Thank you for this reaction 💕

[@mikematusek4233]

The singer, Justin Haywood, wrote it as a teen, and for a full orchestra. This is the next to the last cut of the album, Days of Future Past, one of the first Concept" Albums. The Moody's catalog makes an anthill look simple and shallow. For rock flute, there's the Moodys and Jethro Tull.

[@wendywilson1670]

It's classic English rock, if you have ever had your heart broken... This is the song.. Ie nights in white saten meens happy days, letters I writen... Well we have all done that xxxx

[@User_vfjp_927_baltimore_sc]

I have a separate playlist for The Moody Blues !! They are phenomenal 😉✌👍

[@doomhunter697]

"End of a movie"- this song wraps up the album it is from "Days of Future Passed". It's a concept album where each song ties in with the rest.

[@kevinmalone2218]

His voice is golden!

[@randymyers6439]

Moody Blues live at Red Rocks is terrific.

[@frankolivito9242]

this Albumwas written in the early 1970's.its about the day from nature to man ,each song on the album describes the parts of the day !nights in White satin was the last song on the album!.the moon is like white satin fabric ,when the moon is full1.i used to do psychedelics and listen to this whole album,i love it !likes its written in my soul ,they are great and always a powerful message in their songs,check out"Tuesday Afternoon" also " the question" they are so love spaced it opens your heart !Like God saying "I love you !my children

[@robborra8071]

That was before I watched, now I say thank you for giving music outside your wheelhouse a chance. Topping it off I'm so happy you let us know what makes your playlists. Th8s lets us know you actually listen outside of the videos you react to \m/

[@lorijohnston4311]

Your ears have just been blissed out, Shon! Give "The Voice" by Moody Blues a listen - it's one of my faves by them!

[@roberormonde]

It's okay it's a beautiful vibe

[@bruceheckerman7343]

Bro, This dude wrote this when he was 19 years old! And all of their songs have the same kind of messages so hope you check more of their stuff out. Pease brother. Also in the original there is a poem at the end which wasn't included here but you should hear if you really like this song it really wraps it up in an awesome way.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Nights in white satin refers to satin sheets on the bed. This live version is phenomenal, especially considering how many decades ago they first released the song.

[@samolevski1119]

What I always suggest to anyone who hears this as their first experience of the song, is to find a video from when it was first released, and compare them. Then you will realise how amazing these guys are, to sound like this after all the years that have passed.

[@michaelwalker5257]

This song and album came out when I was about 18, and it blew me away. So cool that you're groovin' to it now. Flute solos: all right, my man, you GOT to start listening to Jethro Tull. Lead singer is Ian Andersen, who also happens to be the songwriter, a fine acoustic guitar player (this is NOT acoustic music); a KILLER flute player; and a maniacal performer unlike almost anyone else. "Aqualung" is their best known album, but don't start with that song, even though it's rich. Try Locomotive Breath, Wind UP, or Psalm 43. For their live stuff...there's so much, but "Thick As a Brick, from around 1977, should do the trick. Please keep up the great work!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

You are correct old wise one. 🙏🍁

[@dizastro5437]

Tull was probably the best show I ever saw. Small venue, very cool crowd, and absolutely electrifying energy from the stage.

[@laurafrancis2104]

U should do the original recording when they were younger, they sounded better. Love U n Ur reaction broooo ❤️❤️❤💕

[@debbiek7004]

Watch this band do the same song live in 1970 , amazing !!!! Thanks for great reaction

[@JimFlickinger]

This is good for your soul music!!

[@DiscoDoll79]

This is a powerful song, a masterpiece of lyrics, instrumentation and vocals. Like "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, "Nights in White Satin" touches emotions, almost sending you into another place, space, time. I never tire of hearing this hauntingly beautiful song. Listen to the audio version to hear the poem, which follows. "Tuesday Afternoon" is the next Moody Blues song you should hear. You will not be disappointed!

[@lindasalaki9404]

Moody Blues is great listening music 🎵🎶🎵

[@gixxerclay7349]

Song Suggestions: Limp Bizkit - Nookie, Re-Arranged Ginuwine - Pony, Differences Jann Arden - Could I Be Your Girl, Insensitive Earshot - Wait, Get Away Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars Better Than Ezra - Good, Desperately Wanting Jars Of Clay - Flood Dennis DeYoung - Desert Moon American HiFi - Flavor Of The Week, Another Perfect Day Boy Krazy - That's What Love Can Do

Hello, Thank you for react to nights in white satin i'm happy that you enjoyed it, it's a classic one from the mid 70's and i'm happy that it bring so much joy to you and indeed it's a great song and great performance thanks. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@guyturbide6348]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 👍🏻👏👏👏👏 The king 🤴 of the transverse flute is JETRO TULL Like to see your reaction to the song 🎵 Locomotive Breath 🎵 You're gonna adore this masterpiece Keep the good work, my friend ✌️ 👍🏻 👏 NB: On your Playlist you can add the original LONG VERSION of this song 🎵 It's very GOOD almost the same 👍🏻

[@jeffjones6221]

Need the long album version with the poem You blow across the hole in the flute. It's not like a whistle you blow into.

[@papercup2517]

If you're into doing full album reactions, you would probably enjoy (and be amazed by) the album of which this song is the final track (other than the poem, which someone has kindly copy/pasted below). It's not only one of the first to explore the possibilities of music that blends rock with classical instrumentation but also one of the first ever concept albums that truly follows a theme throughout - like a classical symphony would with different movements all making a whole experience. The idea here was to celebrate a full 24-hr day here on Planet Earth. So this was the night segment. The other stand-out track is Tuesday Afternoon, which celebrates - well, the afternoon... spent lying around in a park, getting lost in the wonders of nature, possibly with a little assistance from herbal or other substances, or maybe just in a particularly meditative mood. You can listen to it as a separate track, but TBH I do think it works best as part of the whole album experience, if you do have the time and interest to go there...

[@watchwmn]

Moody Blues 💙 💙💙

[@lingoman1]

One of the greatest songs of the century, You should do the original recording. They sounded better when they were younger.

[@RMForbes505]

The full album version with the spoken word poem, the Late Lament, at the end but not the shortened radio edit.

[@mrkrharris]

This is an old school concert... So Much GREAT music. Words and Music, words and music... Try a little "Jethro Tull "./ Thick as a Brick, or Aqua Lung... Flute music you wont forget.

[@tjrivers]

I play flute…yes you put the flute on your lower lip and blow into the tip, in a certain way that your mouth doesn’t cover the hole.

[@francescampbell9225]

That is in my top 3 favorite songs ❤. Loved your reaction!!
