![I LOVE IT! | Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin [REACTION]](/img/tr.png)
Here is the poem from the end of this song. It is spoken over really beautiful orchestral music. You must treat yourself to listening to it.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bed sitter people look back and lament
Another days 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 colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
Whoa! The poem is out of this world deep! It may require a psychologist to explain it’s meaning!
@@khayyakkuan5836What are you doing up this late ❓😅😂😴🤣
@@keithjones8889 Am a late sleeper...and nothing good to watch on TV...lots of old classic songs that the young generation are discovering and finding they like on UA-cam 🔌🖥️
I think line three is, 'Pensitive people look back and lament'.
@@DylansPen I cut and pasted it from a lyric website, not that that guarantees that it's right.
Yes, it is iconic. One of the most beautiful songs ever made. There is a longer version with a poem at the end which meshes so well the rest of the song. Unlike how the bands Marshall Tucker Band or Jethro Tull with Ian Anderson used the flute, this here brings that mellow and haunting contrast that just draws you in. Check out Proco Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale" if you haven't already.
Absolutely the poem for me finishes a masterpiece. Whenever I hear Nights in White Satin without the spoken words it feels unfinished-incomplete
Yes, and the long version has a gong at the end. You can't miss that.
Days of Future passed, it's a theme album, all done with an orchestra, other big hit from the album- Tuesday Afternoon. The whole thing is lovely, actually.
This legendary British rock band was the first to incorporate symphonic music, prog and poetry into psychedelic pop rock in 1967. Their first seven albums were concept albums. Unique and original.
The Moody Blues were the first group to play with a symphony orchestra. They also introduced real stereo to their music. Before this album "Days of Future Passed" pop bands didn't use stereo to it's full potential but this was an experimental album which became iconic and changed how pop music was recorded. I love the Moodies and have always followed them.
I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's - 80's. They have had so many hit songs. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go Now", "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams", "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock & Roll Band". But all of their music is great.
The mellotron gives the orchestral sounds, plus those backing vocals are great. They're from Birmingham England. Their core 7 albums from Days of Future passed through Seventh Sojourn are all magnificent.
The Days of Future Past was recorded with the London Philharmonic orchestra but they used the mellotron in many songs and used it when I saw them in 1972. Later in the 90s and beyond they would perform with the local city's orchestra. I saw them a few years ago and they used the mellotron.
@@bumperu My album cover says it's the London Festival Orchestra.
There is a stunning live version that includes the album's outro also. So good.
The Moody Blues were a great band and had many high quality songs --- 2 more that are in the same vein as *_Nights in White Satin_* are *_Tuesday Afternoon_* and *_Legend of a Mind_* --- these are just 3 out of many great tunes --- delving further into their catalogue is a rewarding experience.
Classic song. Very beautiful.
You should check out the full version of this song. I believe this was the radio edit, but the album version is even better
That one's a long time staple on the local classic rock station. The full version is a bit longer, including a spoken word section.
Another song of theirs you might try is 'Your Wildest Dreams'. It was an early 80's hit for them.
Thanks for doing your reaction video with original studio version. You are one of the few people to do so
Moody Blues was music we would play in the early morning hours after a night of hard partying. Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Yes
This has probably already been said but it is well worth listening to the whole albums for the full stories!
♥ one of the all time great love songs!
From Days of Future Passed--one of the very first concept albums; it mixes pop and symphonic. The album follows through a day beginning in the morning and ending with Nights In White Satin. Another great song from the album is Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?). Lunch Break: Peak Hour is really good too. Overall just a great album.
There's a poem at the end that's very cool.
Its a ballad, a love song and it hits hard like life.
Very unique song composing many unusual elements. Beautifully executed. My mum ADORED this song haha.
Yea, exactly. 1967, this song came out. I usually go for metal or hard rock, but I have always enjoyed this song.
You have to listen to it all!
One of my favorite groups of all time. They were a very spiritual group and have a number of great albums.
The album "Days of Future Past" in which this song is from, used an orchestra for the full bodied sound. PROG ROCK at its finest
This is one of most famous songs in rock. You should check out their "Live at Red Rock" concert. Also you should search out the version of this song with the poem at the end.
It is amazing how music will take you back to a moment in your life. I am 65, but in about 1973/74 I had a group of friends that I hung out with. There was a girl in this group I had a crush on. I remember this because several times when the group of friends were hanging out, this song would play. Now everytime I hear this song I am immediately taken back to my parent's basement rec room, where I was crushing on a girl, that I was too shy to ask out - my loss!
"Your wildest dreams" great Moody Blues song!
This song was released in the US on the day I was born....happy childhood memory when i was very young is my mom dancing around in the kitchen with me when it would come on the radio
The most interesting music explores the no-man's land between genres. Unique and unforgettable!
I did see them in concert.....truly great concert
One of my all-time fave songs, hauntingly beautiful. This was a terrific band, always changing up, but always with that full-throated sound. Thanks for your reaction.
The Moody Blues, along with the Beatles, were originators of classical rock and progressive rock. The 2nd through the 8th Moody Blues albums were all epic, when Mike Pinder the keyboardist, (mellotron) was with them. Mike gave them that lush, cosmic, classical music sound, and after he left, (he also did one song on the 9th album Pendulum, his last. And he was with the band on their first album, more of a rhythm and blues sound, then. So he was actually on albums 1-9), they became more pop- sounding. The band shared song- writing duties, but Justin Hayward did most of the writing, and singing, as well as playing guitar. Check out Ray's, (flute) 'Legend of a Mind'. There are too many great songs to mention! 'Tuesday Afternoon' from the same album as 'Nights in White Satin' is another killer song!
You should react to the live version with the orchestra! Simply awesome
Yes, I even remember when this one was new. Wow I’m old. Lol. Sometime you should watch the version of this with the poem at the end.
Great reaction, Millie! ❤
I would suggest "Tuesday Afternoon" from the same debut album.
NOT a debut album. Their first was another of the British blues sort of effort. This entire album changed everything. Not epic, an earthquake, a tsunami
@@brucekirkpatrick3653 If it was not for Days of Future Passed did not exist, would the prog bands like Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson exist?
@tomland9293 maybe I didn't send my reply? I think prog was simply an evolution from electric and psychedelic rock. Blues and country had become stale, so the Moody Blues moved on. You might try Pearls Before Swine if you haven't heard them yet.
What a song this song will be played over and over epic song
The Moody Blues have quite a collection of songs. It's a vast rabbit hole!!! Mix of things??? There were a lot of mixes in the 60s and 70s. Walter Murphy - Fifth of Beethoven; Meco - Star Wars theme; Noel Pointer - Night Song.
This was our favorite slow dance song in the 60s early 70's
Ride my seesaw, Knights in white satin, Tuesday afternoon, and more!
🎵 That was the radio version of the song. You should react to the long version to get the full effect of the piece. Music 🎵
In the late 60's and early 70's one of the best Make-Out songs ever
I saw this group in my hometown. We have a great symphony orchestra, and the whole orchestra backed then up. Get their album "Days of Future Past."
You should see the video of the LIVE version.
Yes!
One of the first tunes I heard that turned me from Pop to Prog at 12.
"The Moody Blues were formed in Birmingham, England, in 1964, initially consisting of keyboardist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist Ray Thomas, guitarist Denny Laine, drummer Graeme Edge, and bassist Clint Warwick. The group came to prominence playing rhythm and blues music." Their band was considered classical for a minute, but then they proved otherwise.
Such a beautiful song. Such a tune.
We're still listening to this after 56 years. I guess this makes it petty iconic
From Birmingham,England and he wrote this when 17 years old:)
You get a "LIKE" from me today. It was very obvious you genuinely enjoyed the songs. Ciao Bella 🌈
Hi sunshine this is 1 of those very rare songs that touches your very sole its so hainting every single time i hear this song the tears start start to flow and my heart breaks!!!
i might have heard this song before i was even born😂one of the greatest
"Beauty had always mixed with these eyes before." A beautiful woman, beautiful music, and a cup of coffee. What more could I ask for?
It's "Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before". You did have me questioning what I thought I knew for a second though.
@@davidg375 I guess I've been singing it wrong all these years I use the term "singing" loosely.
What they said ⬇️ ...
Millie, try "Ride my Seesaw" for alittle more up-tempo tune, but will carry you along quite nicely ... a big radio hit back in mid-to-late 60s.
The hallucinations they were on only served to enhance their music. One uniquely gifted band.
Dyring the late 60's and 70's I listened to this group over and over. They had several albums that were real popular eapecially for all us stoners. Millie give them a listen. Great head music.
They're from England.
The album this came from was a demo album mixing rock with classical styled music. Get the whole album!! You'll love it! Not a bad track on it!
BUT, those are NOT violins you're hearing, that is a mellotron. The guy playing it, Mike Pinder, worked in the factory where they were made and gave one to The Beatles.
You want psych? You just met the right guy to set you up with that stuff!! I've got around 4000 psych tracks in my collection and it's my fave style of music!
Here's a few you can check out:
"Which Dreamed It?" / Boeing Duveen & The Beautiful Soup
"Wallpaper" / Pregnant Insomnia
"The Real Thing" / Russell Morris
"It's All Too Much", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "It's Only A Northern Song", "Tomorrow Never Knows" / The Beatles
"Holiday", "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man" / The Bee Gees
"I Think I'm Going Weird", "Supernatural Fairy Tales" / Art
Justin Haywood is beautiful his vocals and lyrics resonate that "New Horizons" confirms it
Moody Blues:
Tuesday Afternoon; Question The Story in You Eyes; Ride My See Saw: I'm Just a Singer.....
‘Voices in the Sky’ from the Moody Blues.
The MB are a group you need to put on the headphones, start the album and enjoy the trip.
The Moody Blues were definitely an iconic, prog rock band combing rock and classical music to start and then rock. They were one of the first bands to use a synthesizer. I attended my very first concert in 1970 when I was 22 years old. The very first group I saw was the Moody Blues. Thanks for the memories. And, yes, I am old! :)
If you like this, you might enjoy these two; A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum (try the Live - Denmark 2006 video)__Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel (try the Live - the Concert in Central Park video).
Very good Classic 60's Song,
I saw them in concert. Their songs were amazing.
The Moody Blues are the best classic rock band to ever come out of Great Britain. This is my favorite song from them. 🎸🥰
"Question" would be a good follow-up, I think. Or "The Actor". Love yer tastes. Mine too. Cheers!
They were great, live, with an orchestra.
This track was from the concept album ‘Days Of Future Past’ with full Orchestra. It was released in 1967. The Moody Blues had their first hit in 1964and they from the UK. They have had many album releases all of excellent quality. Most of their songs tell a story,
Masterpiece !
The song wasnt over!
Initially released in 1967, it did ok but was ahead of it's time. When re released in the early 1970's it became a huge hit, along with the concept album (perhaps the first ever) "Days of Future Passed". Rolling Stone Magazine eventually named it the essential album of 1967. They were recognized as the creators of Symphonic Rock, Art Rock and were essential in the development of Prog Rock. They were friends with the Beatles and introduced them to the Mellotron which was used in the Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
The orchestral backing was provided by the London Festival Orchestra, conducted and arranged by Peter Knight.
My favorite Moody Blues songs from their earlier days is, "The Story In Your Eyes". I also like "Isn't Life Strange" and "Tuesday Afternoon". From the 80s, it's "The Voice" and "Your Wildest Dreams".
Following Procol Harum use of orchestra in rock Moody Blues became legends by their music style that was psychedelic, blues, classical and rock. Nights in White Satin was one of the few songs that charted twice. 1972 it returned as a big hit.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. They also rock.
Ah the old days!! turn of the lights , roll a fatty, light a strobe candle , sit back and zone to the music. Add a Pink Floyd in the mix.
A lot of the bands coming out of England in the 60's-70's were well schooled in classical music and it showed in the music they recorded .
If you want to hear more of Justin Hayward's gorgeous voice, try "Forever Autumn" from Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds. It was the single-release from a concept double album, all of which is just wonderful. For an even more poignant version of it, go looking for Justin playing it solo acoustic for a New York radio station: before he starts, the DJ explains that it was the first song they played after 9/11 when they could finally get back to music after days of 24/7 public service information.
The whole album is brilliant. IMHO. 1977 Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.
Another non-standard, never matched album of that sublime period...Astral Weeks by Van Morrison. Nothing like it was accomplished again. The flavors served up, to us, are rich and unique.
Iconic song. You should find the full version.
Iconic. ❤
Would love to hear music at same level of your commentary. Nearly blew my eardrums at first comment.😮😊
Like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", this song was taken from a thematic album. The album was "Days of Future Passed" and the songs took you through a day. You may not want to do them on your channel, but as a musician, you owe it to yourself to listen to these albums (and several others) all the way through.
Nights in White Satin is an iconic classic.
If you like psychodelic, you should check "In a gadda da vida" (the 17.03mins song in black and white here on youtube) from Iron Butterfly. That is the most psychodelic song i have ever heard!
(I'm an old guy) I had my first "slow dance" with a girl I'd fallen for, to this very song! - If you're out there Lizzie, Hi !
Hey Millie - I don't know if you're a reader, but I'm reading a brilliant book called, "The Music Instinct" by Phillip Ball. It's about why we all "do" music (seemingly every culture, since time began). It's a little bit academic, but really fascinating.
Next try "Tuesday Afternoon."
YES! Beautiful! Haunting!! ICONIC!!! It is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and one of my Top-10 Favorites of All-Time.... it is that good to me!!! They are a British band. The song was originally released in 1967 but didn't chart very well in America. Re-released in 1972 here, it was much more successful. Justin Hayward... one of the best songwriters of all-time and absolute shame they are not in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Brilliance! Cheers!!
You might like their ‘Ride My Seesaw‘
The song's genre is "Baroque Pop" or Baroque Rock, started by The Beatles.
Tuesday Afternoon is also great
Thanks for a great reaction to the iconic "Nights in White Satin." The Moody Blues wrote some of the greatest melodies of the classic rock era. This was the single version of Nights in White Satin, if you have the chance to listen to the 7:44 album version from "Days of Future Passed," it has a full orchestra and is an amazing finale to the album. Thanks so much for doing a Moody Blues reaction. If you are interested in doing more Moodies, I would recommend "Question," "The Story in Your Eyes," "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band," "The Voice," and "Your Wildest Dreams." Thanks for your excellent videos.
this was taken from the album "days of future passed" all of which was accpmpanied by the "the London Festival Orchestra." side one ain't so hot but side two is a veritable masterpiece.
they were what was known as an "album band." meaning it wasn't their singles that drew their fans but overall album concepts. some of their albums are hit and miss but they began almost every album with a poem that morphed into a rocker song. you gotta hear "progression/story in your eyes" or "departure/ride my see saw" or "in the beginning/lovely to see you."
in my opinion their albums "a question of balance" and "your children's children's children" are their two best overall albums.
A girl sent Justin some satin sheets in his teens. He wrote this song around 16. But listen, he wrote the song. And it's become one of the greatest slow songs ever.
The Moody's album "Days of Future Past" is an epic theme album, all based on times of the day, e.g., morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and...........Nights in White Satin. Brilliant album.
Kinks?
@@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus I have absolutely zero idea why I wrote that. So strange. Thanks for pointing it out.
i think you would like emerson,lake and palmer. anything from the album "pictures at an exhibition". the title track is just up your alley.
Sorry forgot to mention Jethro Tull, live, Isle of white concert 1970.
Well recognised! Even in the era of "classical music" composers took each other's melodies and created "variations" of them, sampling if you will. The obvious break from this was Elgar's Enigma Variations - which were not based on original tunes, but written by Elgar from scratch, hence Enigma. The MBs were years ahead of their time and stand listening to today at length.
Some bands have a masterpiece song. For me, this is The Moody Blues masterpiece song. The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in May 1964.
Other songs to do that are great - Alter Bridge - Blackbird live at Amsterdam, Testament - Return to Serenity, Lovebites - Frozen Serenade - 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics
Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner [Flight 666 DVD], Triumph - Fight The Good Fight Live US Festival 1983, Rush - La Villa Strangiato.
Yngwie Malsteen - Far Beyond the Sun,
This is the Moody Blues (one of my all time favorite bands) at their best. If you like this, check out “Isn’t Life Strange”.
check the live version with the orchestra.
