MY FIRST TIME HEARING THE MOODY BLUES - Nights In White Satin REACTION

[@evonnechi7029]

Welcome to the Moody Blues. One of the greatest bands of all time.

[@777colin1]

Amen to that

[@thetruth7046]

Amen, Sister!

[@caw7007]

Fact! 💖

[@borismilic2436]

Yes sir they are

[@dronesiviews]

Agreed. 100% and I love to see new people discovering this great band.

[@seeker1432]

When a piece of music can effect you so emotionally, That's good music.

[@jameslanning8405]

That's the deepest definition of 'art.'

[@glosteiger2517]

Makes me cry every time. I remember when it first came out. This is music done with passion. This is how music should be.

[@thomaskelley1718]

The whole album "Days of future passed" is a masterpiece. It took the idea of the concept album to a new level.

[@aknvtso9971]

and originally it was released simply as a demo stereophonic album

[@exile220ify]

And never surpassed

[@pongysocks]

The whole album makes you realise how finite life is, oh bugger!

[@oldcougar65]

They have a DVD of a life perfomance with a full orchestra: "Days of Future Passed" They do the whole album back-to-back. And they were in their 70's when it was recorded. Truly cool. just watched it last night.

[@allenblum6257]

The Moody Blues is one of the extremely few who consider the London Symphony Orchestra to be a backup band!

[@phk2000]

Oh boy.... Had me in tears...... This is the music I grew up with. Whatever people say about the 60s and 70s the music was the best in history.

[@MIKE-ej6ud]

After almost 50 years of listening to them, it can still move the emotions in me when they play something as timeless and ethereal as Nights in White Satin. I believe it was moving her, emotionally. Welcome to the club!

[@kencooper1168]

RIP Ray Thomas (He plays the flute)

[@wgdavis5353]

Mr, Ray is the one that recites the spoken words at the end of this Song, which I think adds a lot to it.. Ms. O, us need to find a version that has the spoken words and listen to it.. ♠W.G.

[@kivimik]

@@wgdavis5353 No, I'm afraid not. Mike Pinder was usually (but not always) the one who recited Graeme's poetry on their earlier albums.

[@lesaber251]

Drummer Graeme Edge just passed away a few days ago.

[@thomasp.3796]

The song, including the extended orchestral parts was written by the band when they were in their early 20's. Genius.

[@cherylhulting1301]

Actually Justin Hayward was 19 when he wrote "Nights." Precociously talented angel, isn't he?

[@jonnno2439]

This is the kind of music i grew up with in the 60s. So good.

[@nja3224]

It’s a haunting masterpiece.

[@fayecraven597]

Oh the days when bands and singers had to have actual TALENT

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

Amazing now just what they were able to do. I am from that era and before. Great memories.

[@jeffereesch]

Amen brother

[@freddymo3339]

When I asked all of them would say thanks for the piano lessons mom

[@1731dave]

Talent that could stand up to time....

[@sdzinkforever3353]

💜💜💜 Best concerts ever!!!!!!

[@SRG1966]

The birth of progressive rock. They recorded this in the mid 1960s and here they were, 40+ years later, still making beautiful music.

[@NiekKuijpers]

The mid 60s are almost 60 years ago

[@NiekKuijpers]

Oh nevermind, when this was recorded it was 40

[@garyconway1073]

Yes , now you can understand why music in the sixties and early seventies was so fantastic. It was not just great to hear , it was also a education we all needed. If you just found the Moody Blues get ready for a great education in life. Beatles and Moody Blues were blowing peoples heads off with info. Glad you found them.

[@jimmythetout109]

When you place a full orchestra behind a classic piece of music ...this is what you get ......just like the 2006 live performance of Whiter Shade of Pale ....

[@lesneumann890]

63 now, and this is a soulful emotional sound that has never been repeated.

[@glenndespres5317]

I don’t know if I’ve seem someone react with more genuine emotion than you did with this beautiful song. It gave me chills and I was tearing up with you! So happy that you got to experience this.

[@lindanadeau1884]

Love this song! I've listened to this for years, and it still brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful.

[@dragonfire1842]

Who knew there is music this beautiful out there. This song has made many tear up when they hear it for the first time.

[@jduff59]

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Moody Blues may not be a famous as many other bands, but their music was amazing decades ago and still sounds amazing today. Timeless music.

[@sherryarflin726]

The Moody Blues were in a league all their own. So much better in person!

[@jamesharper3933]

This song was originally released by The Moody Blues in 1967 and is a masterpiece. It's just as moving now as it was then. The full album version is longer than this though. You even made me teary eyed.👍😄❤️💥

[@freddymo3339]

Remember, they wrote all parts of this in 1967 when they were in their early 20s. As the finale to Days Of Future Past, Nights will indeed remain 'timeless'. Symphonic Rock was born with the MELOTRON.

[@walterbuckhannon3947]

Dear woman. A beautiful woman enjoying a beautiful piece of music. Never be shy to show how something like this can touch you deep inside your soul. Welcome to the era of when musicians had pure talent. I loved watching the music take you to a place you have never been to before. This is music I grew up with and I'm very thankful.

[@jeffurbanski5627]

To say this is Stunning would be an understatement!

[@42BETWO]

So good to see young people discovering the timeless music that meant so much to us ‘older’ folks.

[@p-Nitti]

We need young people like you to keep exposing the classic rock bands to this generation

[@chivalryalive]

And Miss.... Every person in that hall probably had tears on their cheeks as well, while they listened to this beautiful music! :'( -- Let's see if the rappers or the grunge musicians can do the same! :-O

[@Fenstrat62]

The expression on this beautiful young lady's face says it all. She not only gets it, she feels it on a deeper level. The finest piece the Moody Blues ever produced moved her in ways she never thought possible. Thank you for sharing your joy with us. Blessings Lyndon

[@kevinscottbell]

I would bet a whole lot of us over the years have been emotionally moved by this great song. And we still are.

[@exile220ify]

Now, think about how amazing that orchestration at the end (and beginning) is. Now consider: it's exactly like that on the studio album. And this was their FIRST album (in their current incarnation). Not a bad start huh?

[@jeffyount6836]

Very haunting gut wrenching song for those that understand the lyrics he is expressing. "Nights in white satin never reaching the end" is reference to the satin sheets she bought him just before she broke it off. "Letters I have written never meaning to send" With 20 versions sitting in the trash he never mails his letter to try and gain her back. Why? "Just what the truth is I can't say anymore" Did she ever really love him? "Gazing at people some hand in hand" seeing others in love only brings back the pain. "Just what I'm going through you can't understand" Unless you have had a broken heart you can't understand. I cry every time I hear this song. I wonder where she is how she is doing. Damn this song all to hell its so beautifully written yet so haunting.

[@sammys7518]

Thank you for the explanation as I am not very good at such Jeff. My understanding, from another source, is that she married him 3 years later. I cannot prove such, just what I read. Thanks again Jeff.

[@simply_psi]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written along with Whiter Shade of Pale and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The lead singer Justin Hayward also had a solo hit with a sing called Forever Autumn from a Rock Opera based on War of The Worlds you would love that song as well.

[@stefanlaskowski6660]

An amazing album. Jeff Wayne's music is so beautifully eerie.

[@jefferydellinger7422]

There are songs from this era , that can transport you to a time in your life , where you experienced great pleasure . Or where you experienced great pain. It's nice to listen with someone who is not from that era , and see their reaction , and wonder where they were transported .

[@Crushbandicoot-wv8xb]

Unfortunately and fortunately pain and pleasure run synonymous with each other it seems to always be bitter sweet

[@patroscher6240]

Had the pleasure of seeing The Moody Blues twice in my life and they were great live. What a show and what a band. Very good and emotional reaction to a great song.

[@uncledan7500]

Such a blessing to see your reaction. I came late to them in the early to mid 1980s. I heard this record and was amazed. Enjoy them.😊

[@fuita227]

Your sincere reaction is authentic and priceless...I'm in

[@billkarg3935]

It's always fun to watch kids enjoying good music from 50+ years ago! Good Song. Good Reaction. Good Comments.

The Moody’s are most definitely one of a kind. No other comes close to their musical artistry & uniqueness.

[@byronmitchell3784]

THE MOODY BLUES, "NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN". LOVE WATCHING THE REACTIONS. TOO ME THAT IS TIMELESS ❗

Moody Blues, inductees into the rock and roll hall of fame, and justly deserved. If you like the flute in this song, check out the flute played by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull in a live performance of Locomotive Breath and react to that. You will not be dissapointed

[@odysseusthesojourner4401]

Another terrific band!!! Good call

[@dennisweifenbach2647]

It isn't just the fantastic music from Moody Blues, its the memories associated with the music. Where were you, who were you with, what happened? I heard this when it first came out. It was amazing then, just as it is now. Yes, I have some very fond memories of where and when.

Beautiful song for a beautiful lady. Great music is to be appreciated.

[@keymack2477]

I came to listen to the music but stayed for your genuine and emotional reaction!!! Great job with this one, Ovuada!! The Moody Blues are amazing, and they had many wonderful songs and great hits! Before you are finished with them make sure you react to Question and Tuesday Afternoon. And if you enjoy some flute music in your rock and roll let me recommend "Can You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band and a live performance from the late 1970's of the band Jethro Tull performing "Locomotive Breath"!! Much more great music ahead, and as long as your reactions are this authentic count me as a huge fan!!

[@CrustyCurmudgeon]

"This man is so good". Honey, 50 years ago they were a good band among dozens and dozens of equally talented good bands. When you realize your grandfathers were far more talented, creative, expressive, and accomplished than the garbage of today, you'll understand why us old folks shake our heads at the trash foisted on the public now.

[@dnorfed]

Very true, today’s music is absolutely 💩

[@sbearly]

And the music of 50 years ago was shit compared to that which was 50 years before it, right? Or perhaps your understanding of and appreciation for music is too limited. If you can't find music today that you can appreciate, even love, it isn't the fault of the music.

[@CrustyCurmudgeon]

@@sbearly Actually, if you take into account the technical skill required and displayed, the musical acumen, and the overall popularity, then your first statement is almost right. The big band era was the only time in the last century where the most popular music had the most talented musicians playing the most challenging music. And surprise; I love that stuff. My guess is that you weren't around for the 60's & 70's, hence your statement. Its a matter of degree. Anyone who thinks there's as much quality music today as in the past probably didn't experience the past.

[@janinas.5965]

@@CrustyCurmudgeon I love you Crusty!! You are spot on!

[@sbearly]

@@CrustyCurmudgeon I'm 72 so I know all that music. Some of the artists are still around and some of those still worth seeing. My wife and I can't wait to get back to seeing live music now. But there are a great many artists who have presented their music on KZbin during the lockdowns. It does defy logic though to think that artists living in one or more specific decades were magically better musicians or song writers than those living in other decades. Genres change of course and we may not like the music that seems to be currently popular, but we live in a glorious time where we can hear any type of music from any genre, any country, from a wide range of talented artists. It's all out there if we look for it. And live music is better of course.

My heart is so thrilled to see so many young people, discovering the music of our time ! ❤This beautiful song was on their album, Days of Future Passed. If you love this song, you will love the entire album it’s absolutely incredible. As someone else said here, there were many bands during the 60s and 70s that were equally as talented, and of course the orchestra just adds another dimension to the songs. This is the music we grew up with. I am a singer, songwriter, recording artist, and when I write my own music, I can’t help but to add many parts to my songs, because this is what I believed music should sound like. 😅

[@agresticumbra]

This is my mother’s fav song by The Moody Blues. We’ve seen them live twice together. Ray Thomas was the flautist, and he died in 2018, at the age of 76. He was one of the founding members of The Moody Blues in the mid-1960’s. Earlier this year I was present for the death of my 90yo mother-in-law, who has been my other mother. My own mother will be 87 next month. She will be one who will most likely be alone when her day comes, because they are such different individuals. I’ve long wanted to sing this for my mum, as my eulogy for her, at her burial, because it represents her in so many ways. Don’t know if I could make it through it, and now that you’ve heard it, you can probably understand why I probably couldn’t do it. I appreciate this this is the song that introduced you to such a great band. 🖤🤎🧡🤎🖤

[@louisvonbeethoven]

I have to echo the sentiments of so many of the other commenters. The entire Days of Future Passed album is a masterpiece, and something to be taken in its entirety, on a rainy day, alone, with good headphones, and maybe a nice glass of wine or tea. A modern requiem.

[@kevinscottbell]

Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back & lament Another day's useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love & has none New mother picks up & 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
