Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin Reaction! 

It's the best song ever it lifts the soul to new heights.

The most beautiful rock orchestra Song ever written and performed to perfection

I can still hardly believe that you didn't know that song. Such a classic.

White satin sheets were a present from his girlfriend just before they broke up. Nights never reaching the end . . . Unable to sleep because of the break up. Magical . . . Yes. Surreal . . . Yes. Other Worldly . . . Yes. Beautiful . . . Yes!

For a moment 14 again, having a crush, and then this song. Beautiful.💕

Nobody sounded like The Moody Blues. This is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century regardless of genre. My favorite band perhaps of all time. Great request.

After listening to this song many thousands of times over 53 years it is the only song that still gives me chills! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ahh blast from the past ... great memories of my teenage years.

This song was on the album... Days of Future Past...our older brother sent us money to buy this recording...it was his favorite song when he was in Vietnam... my little brother and I played it all the time while praying our older brother would come back home alive...

So romantic when you’re in your teens 😍. At that time I was 😂. It still feels the same right now.

I am glad to be Dutch because we where always able to enjoyed music from all over the World. USA, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italië, South America, Africa etc. No-one did hold us back just to protect there own market. This is real freedom!

You need to hear the whole studio album version to get the full effect of the song.

Thanks for the reaction. Go listen the the album which includes this song. It’s a concept album released in 1967. Days of Future Past it’s a classic, you won’t be disappointed.

The singer was only 19 years old when he wrote this beauty

Every jukebox in the UK had this record from the 60s and beyond for decades 😍😍😍

Goldie oldie but very good! It's a beautiful song and let me think about my youth.

dark room, headphones and the Moody Blues... this is ear candy supreme

My parents slowdanced at this song when they were teens in the sixties.... Mom and dad are 73 now... they still smile when they hear this song ❤

Thanks for the memory. This is from the album "Days of Future Past". It was a concept album with a different song for each time of day.

Great song of the late sixties.

Thank you, this song brings back sweet memories.

oh Yes was a great hit, great song. Loved.

I love this song so much. It drifts you away.❤

Great track from the sixties wich i 've heard many times it will always be a great song.

They recorded this in 1967, they were a big part of the British Invasion...I was 18 when this hit the US. and still have my original 45 single....one of my all time favorite groups from the 60's...

Justin Hayward, such a fantastic singer! Also love his work from War of the Worlds.

it came from the 60s lol. i was never a fan of singles. i bought albums, but this and 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale', by Procol Harem, are my 2 favourite singles of all time. you should react to it, performed in Denmark, 2006. it, too, has an orchestral backing. beautiful.

Beautiful

I love this song so muchhh 💯👍♥️

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

You know this was a song back in the 70s and this man wrote this when he was 17

How can you not know this song 😱.

Love this song... Ray Thomas' flute solo always gets me. You might enjoy their songs "The Voice" or "Gemini Dream" from their 1981 album "Long Distance Voyageur". Thanks for covering.

Although this is quite a good live version but it is missing something special and that is Mike Pinder's amazing keyboard work especially his Mellotron sound. Please check out the original album version for that 60s magic sound.

This was on every UK jukebox playlist in the early 70s 😍

Hi, I'm new to your site and I just want to say, I enjoy your Reaction. Looking forward to you doing some more!!

Story goes....he wrote this in high-school about a girl he loved from afar. Years later, after they'd become famous, someone told the girl that she was the inspiration for this song. She contacted him to ask if it was true and when he said it was, they started dating and later married!Or so the story goes! As beautiful as this version is, the album version from DAYS of Future Past, has the coda that was left off here! Timeless classic!

What a classic song isnt it .. Thanx Highly for your reaction ☺👍 its in the same category as wind of change from the scorpions and i wanna know what love is from foreigner .. Ow yaeh and threu the barricades of Spandau Ballet.. 🎵👍 .. Nights in white satin is played daily on the dutch radio station's. I crowe up whit this kind of music . Greatings jacco from Holland ❤💪🎵

Thee group has been together for more then 40 years

Justin the lead singer wrote this song when he was 19 for his then 17 year-old girlfriend. They have been married nearly 50 years.

Wow. I wore out 2 8-tracks of this. One of the longest "pop songs" of its time. I had it memorized by the time I was 8.

Epic!!!

Dude, you just witnessed nightwish's grandfathers. In this early album the parts with the band and an orchestra were seamlessly blended, yet separate. After this album, the instruments were all played by the band or replicated by the mellotron(a precursor to the synthesizer). The orchestration was blended with rock simultaneously. Most of their big albums are conceptual and profund. The moodies and nightwish are among my favorite bands!

A couple of years back I rediscovered this song of my youth. I love playing it on my arranger. That flute intermezzo is tricky, but so beautiful. Yet another sweet memory. Thanks

This is the final song on “Days of Future Passed” the 1967 concept and studio album. It became a standard album within the symphonic rock genre. Days of Future Passed can best become Day in, day out; not applied, but according to the division of daily life: morning, afternoon, evening, night. The album's music features psychedelic rock ballads by Hayward and Pinder and orchestral interludes by the London Festival Orchestra. The band and the orchestra only actually play together during the last part of "Nights In White Satin." studio album setlist: After the orchestral intro, "Dawn Is a Feeling" begins more abruptly, and there is less echo on Mike Pinder's vocal on the bridge, making it more prominent. On "Another Morning" Ray Thomas's double vocals are spread left and right in the stereo channel. The flute interlude is also played twice towards the end of the song before the orchestral segue. The orchestral intro "Lunch Break" goes on about 15 seconds longer before fading out. The bridges to "(Evening) Time to Get Away" have John Lodge singing alone; all the backing vocals on that part have been lost. The end of "(Evening) Time to Get Away" is missing a Mellotron part and only repeats twice, instead of three times. "The Sun Set" is missing some piano parts, percussion parts, and the reverb on "through the night" is different. "Twilight Time" begins more abruptly after the orchestral interlude. The backing vocals on "Twilight Time" are heard through the entire song instead of only coming in at certain points. At the beginning of "Nights in White Satin", as the orchestral prelude ends, there is one less beat of time before the rhythm section starts in. Some of the strings near the end of "Nights in White Satin" (before "Late Lament") are out of sync with the main body of the song.

He wrote this song at the age of 19.

Wow, thanks for this one. I have two songs on all my playlists; this one and the other one is A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. I can never decide which one should be on 1st. Hearing either one of 'em gives me goose bumps and they bring me back to my childhood instantly, growing up in the sixties and seventies, the happy years. When the time comes and I need to meet my maker I want these ones to be played, the original versions and I want them to be played as loud as possible haha 😂

Reminds me of Metallica norhing else matters with the orchestra. Wow I loved that in the '90

Isn t life strange. Another great song from Moody Blues

I suspect on Justin Hayward's grave it will read 'He knew a Melody when he heard it'. A part of British cultural life for over 50 years and still somehow transcendent. The band as a whole is terribly underrated in its native England.

One of the best songs of the sixties

The creators of orchestrated/progressive rock… Together since 1967… VERY deep rabbit hole for you to explore… You’ve been warned!!!

This is an absolute classic Highly. Magical is the best word you could have chosen. "Knights" may have been implied in the the lyrics. Never reaching the end could refer to soldiers who lied under sheets being sent home in coffins. Or not. That's how I first heard it explained to me, but I haven't ever seen it "debunked" by the band if it's false. The tone of somberness would certainly fit that interpretation. The album Days of Future Passed that it comes from outlines a full Day from the crack of dawn to close. This, along with a short spoken word poem afterwards was the final track. Great reaction bro. ✌️💖

The Moody Blues wound up being 2 different bands - 1 before and 1 after Justin Haywood

British legends

I really like the original video and the most recent concert video in Sweden. White satin (sheets).

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is a movie song....SHATTERED

Though you enjoyed the live version, played 30 years after the original... Go back and listen to the entire album on a single take and enjoy the story it tells!!

here is the full studio version of this song with the spoken word in it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sx8d--usWKI.html 16 studio albums, numerous solo albums, concept albums and 200 plus songs, there is a lot to discover with this amazing group

I thought it was George Zamfir on the flute

You really had not heard of the Moody Blues? I have been a fan since 1968.

💛💛

It’s the Beatles number one and The Moody Blues number two.

it is impossible that you don't know this song. Really.

As you sir, enjoyed this you should listen to Procol Harum "Whiter shade of pale" 2006, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-St6jyEFe5WM.html.

Reminder: Santana!

You need to do the full version, you've missed the poem....

This is beautiful but the original is better to get that 60's vibe. One of my favorite oldies.

White satin. Sheets, dude. Bed sheets.

Can't hardly believe that you don't know The Moody Blues. Listen also to: I'm just a singer Questions Voices in the sky Forever Autumn Ride my See-Saw Tuesday afternoon

A sad heart is good for the soul why be sh a llow

Where did you learn to speak English.? Just awful....
