SO BEAUTIFUL!!! | First Time Listening To Moody Blues - "Nights in White Satin" | SINGER REACTS

[@Jon-ks3ds]

This was written and composed by the lead singer, who you see here, Justin Hayward when he was just 19 years old. Imagine a 19 year old young man making something like this.

Justin is still married to the same girl that he wrote this song about. They got married in 1970, 3 years after it was released in 1967. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AudiophileTubes]

Nice! My 90 year old father in law just lost his wife of 65 years last month. He cannot be consoled! So sad. There is something to be said about so many of these old school couples that kept on loving each other until the end....

I'm 71 years old and was a teenager when this song came out. It struck me so hard that a song could be so beautiful. I went to sleep singing Nights in White Satin as my eyes gently closed and I went into dreamland. The addition of the orchestra to the marvelous voice of Justin Hayward made this song absolutely most memorable.

[@laupstad]

I'm 41 and this song came out long before I was born. This is far from the first time I heard it but it will be last thing on my mind tonight before falling asleep. I haven't lost all faith in modern music by any means but nothing like this will ever be made again. It's a masterpiece.

[@rickwelch8464]

The studio version shows you his voice is even better as a youngster

[@OriginalVenomZA]

I agree, this was still an epic belt, but the studio version can show you what he did without today's vocal manipulation software. This brings me back to times where we had so much less to worry about.

[@straycatttt2766]

@@OriginalVenomZA, many people worried about the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Middle East, and race riots back then.

[@davesunhammer4218]

@@straycatttt2766 and now we have Cold War, the War on Terror, ISIS, the Middle East, Iran with nuclear weapons launching 300 missiles, riots covering everything from race, to the environment, to the G8 Summit, to the Presidential Elections, Trump, Biden, Covid, Joblessness, 8 Billion people on the planet, polluted oceans, AI taking jobs, food shortages everywhere from Madrid to Calcutta to towns in southern France, the Panama Canal both blocked and in danger of water shortages, drones as weapons, a hundred fold increase in school shootings, murder and rape, Detroit half abandon, Houthi Rebels shooting missiles as US ships, fentanyl epidemics in every city, a 20-fold increase in homelessness in the US, and the list goes on.

I listened to them in the 60’s, and Justin’s voice still has that gorgeous, emotional, power that he’s always had!

[@jeffreytennant304]

Released in 1967.... There is a poem at the end of the original release..... 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 is yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion

The Moody Blues is a band that seems to be often forgotten about, but they have a wide range of hits. Isn't Life Strange, Your Wildest Dreams, The Story in Your Eyes, and I Know You're Out There Somewhere are good songs that will not disappoint.

[@MarcutsuSpoon]

I have never forgotten the Moody Blues. The granddaddy of progressive rock.

[@bostonvair]

I'll also add "The Question" and "Autumn Forever" as two of their masterpieces.

[@josephcote6120]

Pretty much every song off Long Distance Voyager was on the radio. People know the songs but forget who sang them.

[@tommack9395]

"Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)", "New Horizons", "I'm Just A Singer in a Rock and Roll Band", "Ride My See-Saw".

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

In Search of the Lost Chord was my first MB album. Mind blowing.

[@Cadinho93]

The lead singer Justin Hayward wrote this masterpiece when he was 19 and here in this live performance he's 65 years old. A rare talent. Also, even at his older age he has such crystal clear, emotional and fine vocals. What a perfect song it is and always will be.

[@eddavis4456]

I believe this was from their concert in Royal Albert Hall in May of 2000. Justin would have been around 43 years old at that time. He is 77 years old now and still making beautiful music with his solo tours in the USA and UK. He is a one of a kind talent for sure. The Moody Blues were a special band and do not receive near the attention and credit they deserve. But those of us who love their music get it!

[@terminallumbago6465]

He was 53 during this concert. It took place in May 2000 at the Royal Albert Hall.

[@garricksmalley1733]

One of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

[@MichaelCSmith-pi4no]

This song was on an Album called “Days of Future Past” and on the album this song ends with a beautiful poem called “Late Lament” “Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room, Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another days useless energy is spent, Impassioned lovers, wrestle as one, A lonely man cry’s 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 colors from our sight, Red is grey and yellow white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion.” And was preceded by another poem titled “Morning Glory” “Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colors from our sight, Red is grey and yellow white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion. Pinprick holes in a colorless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone, Night time, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude, Brave Helios wake up your steed, Bring the warmth the countryside needs” Poems were written by the drummer Graem Edge.

[@MichaelCSmith-pi4no]

There first big hit which put them on the map was “Go Now” in 1965. One of their last hits was “I know your out There Somewhere” 1988. 23 years of hits. They also had a song from 2003 called “December Snow”.

[@suzanroberts6300]

The times over the years I find myself quoting those words!!! Sometimes when out walking on a moonlit night, sometimes just because the feelings are rising. Always from the soul as that's how Graeme wrote them.

[@jamesmcclain5005]

Exactly!

[@patticrichton1135]

The correct title fo the album is "Days of Future PASSED" not "Past" 😊

[@bobcorbin3294]

I saw Graeme recite it live in the 1970's

[@AndyViant]

Love it. But this is better, to be honest. Not by much, but it is.

[@bursur277]

Justin also sang on Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds. His vocals on Forever Autumn are sublime!

[@euanmelville9770]

[@extracaliber432]

The Question is another gem. The Word and Om should be listened to together. Tuesday Afternoon is also nice.

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

This song was so personal to me. When I was young I used to sing this song to my new wife while we were on road trips. We listened to the entire cassette. I put the Moody Blues at a class of their own. Not rock,pop,easy listening. I really could not classify them. But I loved them and gave them utmost respect.

[@d0sitmatr]

_musical Ballads_ would be a good descriptor for them

[@chickenlampbrent]

If ever you have the opportunity to see a full orchestra in concert, do yourself a favor and go. When you go to a rock or pop concert you hear amplified electric instrumentation. When you're listening to a 60 piece orchestra, you're hearing the actual wood and brass of the instrument and the humanity projected through it with zero processing, au naturel. It hits you like a force and you not only hear it but you feel it so organically. It's like nothing else. I guarantee you there will be more tears like the one you just shed. Beethoven's 9th symphony, last movement, The ode to Joy, would seriously rock your world and leave such an impression on you you'll never forget what has been scorched into your soul until the day you die.

[@twofarg0ne763]

He wrote this song when he was 19. I was 19 when they released it. They don't make music like this anymore. You need to listen to the version on their Days of Future Past album. There's an additional 8 minutes at the end that will blow your mind.

Justin Hayward listens to some of the reactors listening to their songs. He replied to one of my comments on another reactor's reaction to this song. We exchanged a couple pleasantries across the comment section. I saw them live in 86 when their current hits were, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" and "Your Wildest Dreams" and "The Voice" if memory serves me. It was a great concert.

[@d.rodrickeamon6133]

I'm trying to recall when and where I saw them, but I believe it was on the same tour. In the midst of their set, I looked up and saw a satellite coming apart as it re-entered the atmosphere. Maybe I can work out where I was; I think somewhere in Indiana--maybe Indianapolis.

[@jasonlouis697]

In my "humble" opinion, this is the greatest love song ever. The rising and falling of so many different kinds of instruments, the lyrics, the vocals from beautiful harmony to voice cracking pain. In my experience, this ranks up there with Shakespeare's ability to describe love in poetry. All these decades later, I still get goosebumps.

[@jcparker500]

Great song and reaction!

[@indyfastal]

I've seen The Moody Blues 8 times in concert. They never fail to bring down the house...

[@frittibreezedancer]

Justin Hayward is such a fantastic and enigmatic singer. I can certainly recommend listening to the studio version as well; the high notes reach even higher and really grab you and drag you along. In the same vein, I can very much recommend Crowded House with "Don't dream it's over", *especially* the version from their goodbye concert; it's SO emotional and beautiful.

[@darrylglynn1557]

I've had the absolute honour to see Justin Hayward live on stage singing Forever Autumn. I was like "I'm not worthy"

[@albertspillane2831]

Another Moody Blues great is The Story in Your Eyes ❤😊

[@tommhill9948]

Logically, your next listen should be: “Procession/The Story In Your Eyes”, Aileen. Enter the MB’s deep Rabbit Hole - as leagues of us have over 50+ years of musical Moody time travel. Many reactors don’t understand Procession and its three-word lyrics. You will appreciate how the Moodies can transport their listeners across time and space. 💙 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2eod6yqgpamrq8

[@stpetie7686]

Whenever I see a reactor hearing this for the first time I feel so freaking fortunate. The Moody Blues and Pink Floyd were all over the radio starting i my high school years. Not to mention a number of other bands. People growing to adulthood without hearing those two bands in particular just makes me sad for them. They made my younger years so much better.

[@breeze624]

The Moody blues were/are the type of band where you can start listening to a find yourself still listening to them hours later.

[@curtiswilson3569]

This band deserves so much more modern attention. I was able to see them live with a full orchestra outdoors at sunset in the 90s, maybe one of the most beautiful events I have ever seen.

[@memorylane7068]

I saw them in Pensacola in 1994 with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. The Moody Blues would travel the world and send their sheet music ahead for the local orchestra to learn. So, each city got to see their local orchestra perform with the Moody Blues. The studio version has a poem added to it, so it's worth a listen.

[@nathans3241]

This song is from the album, Days Of Future Passed, where the record company wanted to alternate The Moody's music with brief orchestrational interludes. Between 1967 and 1972, The Moody Blues recorded 7 albums which are the recordings that established the band as an innovative progressive rock band. The mellotron is used in these recordings and each album is unlike anything you've ever listened to. Of course after those albums there are so many others. Other great songs from The Moody Blues are, Tuesday Afternoon, Ride My See-Saw, You And Me, The Balance, The Word | OM, Peak Hour, Your Wildest Dreams, English Sunset and so many others.

[@davidflorer1276]

This is probably from their concert in Royal Albert Hall. That concert should be heard in its entirety.

[@theretiringbarber]

One of the greatest songs in history .

[@RedDawnRocker]

Justin Hayward, the lead vocalist, is still performing live and hasn't lost a step. I'd go as far as saying his voice is stronger live than in studio due to the emotion actually being more honest in his songs. I'd suggest you check out any performance of his solo-song "Forever Autumn" live in concert from recent years. If you liked "Nights" I have no doubt you'll definitely love "Forever Autumn".

[@jeffyount6836]

I cry every time I hear this song. It's been 50 years and I still wonder where she is and how she is doing. Damn this song all to hell its sooo beautiful and totally gut wrenching. Let me help you understand the lyrics. "Nights in white satin Never reaching the end" is referring to the satin sheets that she gave him as a gift just before she dumped him. The sheets didn't reach the end of the bed hence the lyrics. "Letters I've written Never meaning to send" with 20 versions of his letter in the trash to try and win her back he never mails the letter why? "Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before" he's telling you how beautiful she was. "Just what the truth is I can't say anymore" this is why he never mails the letter, he just doesn't know if she ever loved him. 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you "Gazing at people Some hand in hand" seeing others in love just brings back the pain. "Just what I'm going through They can't understand" unless you have had a broken heart you can't understand. "Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend" you just can't mend a broken heart. "Just what you want to be You will be in the end" he wrote this for her. He is saying he is letting her go and above all he wants her to be happy. And I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send Beauty I've always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you

[@ooEVILGOAToo]

[@richardchocolas8800]

The Moody Blues were basically the first prog-rock band. The album Days of Future Passed was recorded with a symphonic orchestra. Pretty progressive for 1967. The band also featured a Mellotron, an early version of the synthesizer. The band is known for their poetic lyrics and big sound but they did blues rock, love songs, psychedelia and more

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This is about their 40th anniversary of this song. Justin Hayward (singing) joined the group at age 19 and helped make them world famous, because he also wrote this one and others. Ray Thomas on flute here wrote LEGEND OF A MIND, and there's a youtube recording of them performing it circa 1969 you should see. We were spoiled by some of the best ear candy ever recorded ('60s, '70s, '80s)- maybe you can understand why so many of us hold modern 'music' in contempt.

In the late sixties and early seventies, there were people who believed that musicians in general and The Moody Blues in particular had the answers to the worlds' problems. The Moody Blues response was the song "I'm just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band). It's a great song to check out.

[@rafehr1378]

1967: Seattle, WA. Eagles Auditorium. Moody Blues played their first album. It blew our minds, and LSD helped. We cheered so long for more, more. Justin told us no one had ever cheered them or wanted more music. They played their set again.

[@daveminers3404]

The version of this song I grew up hearing included "Late Lament", a short-spoken word "song" at the end. That said, every time I hear this song without "Late Lament", which is every time nowadays, I'm mildly disappointed. It actually divides the orchestral ending that you heard here. I recommend, at least, listening to that version on your own as it was recorded originally on the album "Days of Future Passed".

[@ws3764]

My favorite Moody Blues song is "Questions" When the tempo slows down the lyrics really grab you "It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew could safely lead me through Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls"

Hey Aileen! One of my favorite songs of all time. I haven't watched the reaction yet, but I'm pretty sure they never actually play the ending of the song during a live version, which is sad and you should listen to the full version on your own time. Fun fact though, my sister followed them around for years on tour and the drummer proposed to her. She said no because she didn't think she could handle the lifestyle of either always being on the road or being left at home until the tour was over, plus relocating. Meh, to each their own. I think she missed out tbh.

I first heard the Moodies in 1968. I was blown away, as I was by the group Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears. The orchestral sound, the horns. WOW! I did a hitch in the USMC, and had myself together in 1973, upon my discharge. Saw the Moodies in 1974. Saw them again in 1977 and 1980. All the concerts were, as you noticed, heralded by the audience being silent as they performed. It was magical. Still is. Music such as they made will never grow tired or get old. Neither will it ever be composed to their level again. I am so pleased to have grown in an era which had such marvelous musicians. Thank you for your review.

Aileen, the Moody Blues are one of this 68 year-old's favorite bands of all time, and this is one rabbit hole worth falling deeply into. There are SO many awesome songs to listen to. My personal #1 go-to is "(The music to) the story in your eyes." For one of their more popular hard rockers, try "I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band." I love watching you rediscover the cherished music of my youth!💖

Perfectly imperfect is what is missing in a lot of recent music. I've listened to this since it was released still brings me to tears. moody Blues was one of the first Progressive Rock bands. Love seeing young people discover this type of music.
