“Just sitting here, listening to this with my eyes closed…it’s like having an out-of-body experience….it’s purifying” this is why I watch you James, you are clearly a highly sensitive person and the effect of great and powerful music clearly registers on you, as if you yourself were a musical instrument. We benefit from you sharing your experiences with us, helping us, your viewers, gain an even more profound experience from this music. I just want to personally thank you for what you are doing
I love everything about the 60’s and this included music The song is so ICONIC and Justin Hayward singing it made it so. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🎤🎤🎤🎤🤩🤩
This is one of the most beloved love songs in the world and Justin Hayward was 19 when he wrote it. Mike Pinder’s Mellotron made it perfect. Imagine making love to this song. When they were recording the studio version on the Days of Future Passed album you can hear the tubular bells rack fall over…a cat ran through the studio and knocked it over. Everybody held their breath but they decided to keep it in cos it was like the chaos of an orgasm! 🥰🙏🏼🎸
James! Your message at the end where you shared your vision of unity and harmony among diverse people is greatly appreciated. So many of us share this vision! This is how great music inspires great souls. And this is one of the many reasons why I watch your channel
I am in the exact same situation as you word for word. I remember my parents dancing to this numerous times and it being one of their songs. Dad passed away in November 2020 and it destroyed mum. This song came on recently and mum was swaying and crying and it was the saddest thing I'd ever witnessed 😢
They used a full orchestra in this recording and some of their other work. You should listen to some of their albums from start to finish, it will be a good experience, I guarantee it.
The Moody Blues were ahead of their time. If this had been recorded in the early ‘90s, it would have been considered New Age. When I here this full version I think of singers like Enya.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Glad you listened to this version 👍👏👏 Really like to see your reaction to the ZAC BROWN BAND LIVE FROM AUSTIN CITY LIMITS SONG IS 🎵 FREE /INTO THE MYSTIC 🎵 🎵 🎶 This one is about living a simple life and love Keep the GOOD WORK my friend ✌
Young man I am so so happy that you are willing to take time to explore Real music . I’m so lucky to have lived during the 60s 70s 80s and of course the 90s , the Greatest era of music Period . I enjoy watching to your reactions … there is Nothing in this era of music that is even close , and it’s sad . Keep enjoying the music that I lived thru .. this is music that you feel deep inside , it does touch you ..
This song came out when I was a teenager (I'm 70 now to give you an idea about the timelessness of this "masterpiece"). As a teenager in love for the first time, the music pulled me into myself and then released me to carry on no matter what obstacle lay in my path. The lament is a key element to open your mind. And I still get goosebumps every time I hear it. Thanks for sharing.
Justin Haywood still has a great voice, but this is him in his prime. I miss the listening parties my friends and I used to have. The next Moody Blues album was always greatly anticipated. Wonderful times and wonderful friends. You would have been welcome had you been around in the late 60s early 70s.
This has been my favorite song since I heard it for the first time in the mid 70's and there are times when I've listened to it 10 or more times in a row like tonight. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I do. It would be hard to believe if there is someone out there that doesn't think this song is amazing.
We love you! Yes, we love you! ❤️ Music has kept me fighting for myself when I felt like I had nothing left! Those who put you down are miserable people themselves. They do that because they themselves aren't happy. It makes them feel better to put others down. Don't feed into it!! Smile and walk away! You are a beautiful soul ❤️ Music saves lives! And yes, Music brings us together ❤️
I saw them in California with friends. Then I looked in the program and saw that in 2 days they would be playing at Red Rocks in Colorado. We drove straight through and saw them at Red Rocks, too. They were amazing. Justin Hayward and John Lodge had great solo albums, too. I think Graham Edge did also. They've always been my favorite band. Denny Laine was originally with the band when they had their 1st hit "Go now." It sounded more like the Beatles or The Dave Clark Five. Then Denny left and Justin Hayward and John Lodge joined the band and the real Moody Blues blossomed into the great band it is with its own unique sound.
I remember the first time I heard the album version of Nights in White Satin. It was about 5:30AM on a pre-dawn morning in 1968 on an all-night FM radio station (yes, some stations were off air from midnight to 6AM in those days). One of the most unique musical recordings I'd ever heard. I heard it a few times on the FM radio, but years later I got an MFSL LP of the Days of Future Passed album, and then a CD when that became available. The song is actually a blend of two elements, the Moody Blues band which plays most of the song, and the London Festival Orchestra, which plays a short bridge at the beginning before the band starts, and a much longer ending, as well as the music accompanying the spoken poem "Late Lament". What sounds like synthesized orchestral elements during the song is actually played by the band on a Mellotron keyboard. You can hear the orchestra sneak in at the end of the band section and there's a minute or so where you hear both the sounds of the Mellotron as well as the real strings of the orchestra, until the band ends their part with a vigorous drum roll. The orchestra continues with a big crescendo followed by a resolution and the end of Nights, then on to the orchestral backing for Late Lament. Then another big crescendo, ending with the gong. This whole recording was produced in an era where many popular songs were still being recorded in mono. The record label, Deram, called it the "Deramic Sound System". The LPs of the time were produced from stereo master tape mixed from the studio multitrack recordings in 1967. By the mid 1970s, someone made the decision that the 1967 stereo master tape had become too damaged for continued LP duplication, so in 1978 the entire album was remixed to produce a new stereo master tape. All subsequent LPs and all CDs were from the 1978 mix (up to 2017 when the entire 1967 master was restored and released as part of the album's 50th anniversary). I have a 1969 LP pressing, and certain tracks, especially Tuesday Afternoon, have some vocal backups which are not present on the 1978 mix. The song and album was a great landmark recording of the day. Not only was it an enveloping stereo recording, but it was really the first time that they actually got the concept of a Rock Band and an Orchestra playing together to work on a grand scale.
This my favorite song of all time! I'm so glad you are reacting to this! I saw The Moody Blues on their Days of Future Passed Tour, the 50th anniversary of this album. Justin Hayward still sounds magnificent. You are right. This is a masterpiece. The poem at the end is called Late Lament & was written by the drummer, who passed away in Nov., 2021. It's frickin' deep & amazing.
Music can be a great equalizer among people, I hadn’t listened to this whole version for awhile, great stuff. I used to have this on a cassette tape of my collected music, had to start leaving it at home as this song wasn’t driving music, it was close your eyes and contemplate music. Beauty 😎🍺🇨🇦
And yes they had to write the orchestra part of the music as well as the band lyrics/music. So much more to check out from them starting from the 60s, there are videos of them in the 1970s on YT on many of their songs. The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go Now", "Nights in White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams", and "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)". The band has sold 70 million albums worldwide,[13] which includes 18 platinum and gold LPs. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
@@pjackson2064 Thinking l knew everything, and finding out in my dotage I didn't. Different times then, I didn't look my age, so had to take my birth certificate to get in to dances with live bands. Hitch hiking which I can remember doing, I had no fear then. Where's the time gone 🤗
@@jennywren7822 yep 👍😆. Exactly. I never hitch hiked. I was too scared for that. But did so many things that were really lots more dangerous without thinking at all. But it was a time like a whirlwind, lots of memories ( probably painted with a golden brush by now). But to think what we experienced: when I was little we had no running water in the house, a toilet hahahaha, an outhouse. My father carried a big tin tub upstairs into our kitchen on Saturday, because Saturday was bath day. My Mom heated the water on a wood stove, then I was bathed, then my Mom, and my Dad was last in the tub. Then he carried the water downstairs again in buckets, and at last the tub which was stored in the pig sty. We played in the main "road" .... And now we work with computers, talk around the world and cry if there is no hot water for half a day
I’m so glad that you found the version with the poem at the end. The song isn’t the same without it. This is a song I want at my funeral along with Kansas ‘dust in the wind’ great life altering music.
Best reaction video to this song ever! As for your family, there's a saying: Why can family push your buttons more than anyone else? Because they installed them. This is one of the few romantic songs that seems to effect men more than even women. It just replays that deep, yearning love for a woman that--for whatever reason--is no longer or has never been yours. Powerful, and as I've heard many times to describe it, "haunting."
Between performances at Woodstock, you could hear this being played everywhere in cars, on blankets from portable 8 tracks. Moody Blues were part of the British invasion and we referred to them as a psychedelic rock band. In my 70's I still light one up when I play Moody Blues 78 Vinyls...
When these guys were recording, they didn't know (how would they?) that decades later, folks in faraway places, would be listening to and reacting to, their music. I didn't even know that as I listened to them in the 70s. But I'm glad, as I expect the band members who remain are, that the artistry, the skill, the sentiments, are appreciated all over again. Some of the lyrics are uniquely British, and may pass you by, but it seems you still get it...
Yes, Jonathan Antoine's music does that for me too! UA-cam Videos & Solo Albums are awesome! So full of emotion. His song 'Compass'is very uplifting. I also love his version of 'The Prayer' where he harmonizes with his own voice! So talented and only 27 now! Following him 10 years now. Enjoy.
that's beautiful Man! thanks man! this is so cool♥️lovin it! Yo And U Are totally beautiful too!🖤Thanks for Ur Great Mojo🌟🖤cheers Wishing yall beautiful A Great day!🍂🌼🌄🌹🍂🌼Beautiful Nite💫✨🖤🌙✨💫
Hey there J, my brother from another mother...🤗 that's one of my favorite Moodys songs but there are so many more James..have you heard Justin singing Forever Autumn? I know you will LOVE that song, the Moody Blues brought an album out back in the 70s called Every Good Boy Deserves a Favour.....that album is truly amazing James give it a go...peace and love over to ya son...keep on listening..🤗
Yep. ALWAYS choose the studio version to really appreciate the music. When this song came out, there was not a lot like it on mainstream radio. It's a masterpiece.
JB - you probably know now that the singer is Justin Hayward - one of the silkiest voices ever. I think that a solo song he did called "Forever Autumn" from the War of the Worlds soundtrack album might make you lose it............
I haven't seen your videos in a while. I hope you are feeling healthy. You said in another video that you have been sick. You are looking great. Since you lost a little weight. Your features are really standing out. You are very handsome.
Even as a little kid, when this song came out, that spoken word part at the end had an ominous feel to it. This full version is the only way to hear this song, not the radio edit. My older brother had this on 8-track, and we wore it out at my house.
This song is special to me because I was a band geek and I did this song for a state competition in clarinet and won a superior medal . In all the years I played this was the funnest song to play I loved it
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE DAYS OF FUTURE PAST ALBUM ALL OF IT SO GOOD BUT THEN AGAIN YOU COULD LISTEN TO ANY TRACK OF THE MOODY BLUES OFF OF THEY FIRST 7 ALBUMS AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT.
Check out the whole album start to finish as it is meant to be listened to. I probably listened to this album at least five times a week usually while I’m falling asleep. I have been listening to this album in heavy rotation for the last 41 years.
Bringing people together was always the intention of the band. Before being incorporated into what became Days of Future Passed (which is quite the story on its own), Justin Hayward wrote "Nights in White Satin" while the band was in Belgium working on their new sound after Justin Hayward was brought in to replace Denny Laine (they had been an R & B outfit between 1964 and 1966). Effectively a stream-of-consciousness song inspired by the satin sheets he was given by his girlfriend, he presented the song to the band. Their initial reaction was "Meh, it's alright." Mike Pinder, the keyboardist, asked Justin to play it again. Mike then added the Mellotron part, and the band's collective ears perked up. It was likely that this song influenced their development of their stage act that would become Days of Future Passed: the idea of a day in the life of one guy.
Listening to the whole studio album straight through is an incredible experience. You will love it. Hang in there!
Day's of Future Passed is a major 60s classic!
🎧🖤🖤✨♥️✨🖤🖤
Its just amazing how music can make you feel .💜

I'm glad you watched both. The live version showcases the musicians, this version gives a fuller story
No matter how many times I hear this song it's always followed by full body chills.
I love everything about the 60’s and this included music
The song is so ICONIC and Justin Hayward singing it made it so.

This one is so much better… you will drift into the music………You are a good person … We need you.. Lean into us when you feel down..we are here❤️
A Moody Blues song from the 60ies and the Flower Power era with the Hippies. Thank you for the good music!
This has always been a favourite song of mine😊
An absolute ethereal journey to the center of the universe!
It’s great that you young people are rediscovering some of the terrific music that I grew up on. There’s so much more to listen to.

I must say I think the music from 60 through 80's are the best.
Your one of my favourite reactors 🥰🥰
What a beautiful soul you are I'm so glad music lifted you back to your higher self ❤️
Please give the full album a spin, alone, in the dark, and with headphones. It is truly an experience like no other.
This one is personal to me because it's one of my parent's songs. And my Dad recently passed away. So, yeah, it's important. Thank you 🙌
So sorry for your loss ❤️

I have loved the Moody Blues since the 1970’s. My favorite is Slide Zone.
Love your involvement, appreciate the willingness to just let go and vibe with the song
They used a full orchestra in this recording and some of their other work. You should listen to some of their albums from start to finish, it will be a good experience, I guarantee it.
Agree, their albums told a story just like ELO on theirs, they were all one book rather than pulling out chapters to read.
I saw this Moody Blues in Portland Oregon back in the early 70’s. They are just as good live as they are recorded. Awesome reaction love ❤️☮️👵🏼🎸
The Moody Blues were ahead of their time. If this had been recorded in the early ‘90s, it would have been considered New Age. When I here this full version I think of singers like Enya.

Awww, JB, babes, I just want to give you a big hug!! Your beautiful soul has been touched by this. It's so dreamy, isn't?

Wasn't it just the greatest time? All those memories. And my friends from then are still with me, and I feel blessed
armadillotoe; I too agree, this man feels the very essence. It was a time that we so briefly experienced and today so earnestly desire.
The Moody Blues will always have a place in my heart. Bittersweet memories of love and loss flood over me every time I hear this song.
A masterpiece of music, fitting in with the flower-power of our time. So glad you played the long version with the lament at the end.
Yes, this is the version I remember! It is wonderful! Thanks, James!
Love this. The poem has always been my favorite part of the song. Great reaction.
This has been my favorite song since I heard it for the first time in the mid 70's and there are times when I've listened to it 10 or more times in a row like tonight. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I do. It would be hard to believe if there is someone out there that doesn't think this song is amazing.
The Moodies r the most underrated band ever. Play their entire catalog and u will go on an out of body experience.
Indeed, w/such 'trials & tribs' so prevalent today, such music touches the honest hearted and soothes one's mind.
We love you! Yes, we love you! ❤️ Music has kept me fighting for myself when I felt like I had nothing left! Those who put you down are miserable people themselves. They do that because they themselves aren't happy. It makes them feel better to put others down. Don't feed into it!! Smile and walk away! You are a beautiful soul ❤️ Music saves lives!

This song is masterfull, but , you are so much more masterfull!

I haven't seen your videos in a while. I hope you are feeling healthy. You said in another video that you have been sick. You are looking great. Since you lost a little weight. Your features are really standing out. You are very handsome.
Welcom back man ,missed your comments 👍
Even as a little kid, when this song came out, that spoken word part at the end had an ominous feel to it. This full version is the only way to hear this song, not the radio edit. My older brother had this on 8-track, and we wore it out at my house.
This song is special to me because I was a band geek and I did this song for a state competition in clarinet and won a superior medal . In all the years I played this was the funnest song to play I loved it
And that is why you want to hear the longer version ! It’s not the same without the poem ! It is a beautiful song
Love you James ❤
I love you too ❤️
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE DAYS OF FUTURE PAST ALBUM ALL OF IT SO GOOD BUT THEN AGAIN YOU COULD LISTEN TO ANY TRACK OF THE MOODY BLUES OFF OF THEY FIRST 7 ALBUMS AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT.
Check out the whole album start to finish as it is meant to be listened to. I probably listened to this album at least five times a week usually while I’m falling asleep. I have been listening to this album in heavy rotation for the last 41 years.
If you like this one you will be astounded by the Forever Autumn song He did...
Bringing people together was always the intention of the band. Before being incorporated into what became Days of Future Passed (which is quite the story on its own), Justin Hayward wrote "Nights in White Satin" while the band was in Belgium working on their new sound after Justin Hayward was brought in to replace Denny Laine (they had been an R & B outfit between 1964 and 1966). Effectively a stream-of-consciousness song inspired by the satin sheets he was given by his girlfriend, he presented the song to the band. Their initial reaction was "Meh, it's alright." Mike Pinder, the keyboardist, asked Justin to play it again. Mike then added the Mellotron part, and the band's collective ears perked up. It was likely that this song influenced their development of their stage act that would become Days of Future Passed: the idea of a day in the life of one guy.
Days of Future Past is the Album of Moody Blues you must listen to ... and keep in mind this Album was done in 1967....Welcome to the Moddy Blues
The Moody Blues have a lot of really good songs. But, this one takes the cake.
JB, next one should be Tuesday Afternoon from this same album only I think it is called Afternoon. Such a great album in it's entirety.
Breath deep, the gathering gloom
