"I didn't agree to this. I didn't sign up for it. I came in for a reaction, not a life evaluation!" The Moody Blues just hit different. Bless your soul, Leo. You are one honest dude.
AWESOME
5:35 - Right when it hooks his heart and he has to give up to it.
@@thetalantonx lol right? You can literally see him just get washed away by the perfection of the music
Real dude
😂🤣
You missed the best part:
"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 settles 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."
There's a Groove Armada version of Pink Floyd's "Breathe" that uses 'breathe deep' from that as a sample. My dad was big into Moody Blues so I caught the sample pretty quick.
Yes! I was hoping you would react to the long version.
Yea what they said.
Only poem I ever memorized, lol
And I love that that poem was written by the drummer
Today’s music will never come close to the way music used to be
.....you can take this time frame until early 90’s for me!!!
I don't know. I think The Weeknd is pretty damn good and iconic for this age.
i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

"Just what you want to be, you will be in the end"
that line always gets me.
When Leo gets emotional... we all get emotional 😭 🥺
Don’t tell me his name
It’s MR VIDEO ffs😂😩
@@-M0LE 😂😂😂
legit the truth 😭😭😢
Accurate
The Moody blues decided to explore rock music with an orchestral accompaniment. This is the result.
Muse (my fav band of all times ) did that too...
Good taste... watch “New Horizons” by Moody Bs
Btw Phillip davis... name as welsh af
Electric Light Orchestra and Moody Blues both from Birmingham, England.
One of my all time favorite albums!
@@abroquet2189 Electric Light Orchestra were "influenced" by them. Justin Hayward was to "them" what Peter Cetera was to Chicago. He wrote countless hits for The Moody Blues who were originally a Blues Band. Justin replaced Denny Laine who joined Wings. Their Songs are still the most popular.
Man, this is definitely the most beautiful song I've ever heard in all my life. This part of the choir always gives me deep chills, for me it's like a legion of angels singing the earth's sorrow in a painful heavenly way. The first time I heard this, I had to control myself.
What a beautiful analogy.
This song has such heartache for me personally. My good friend, committed suicide, he absolutely loved this song. I talked to him the day, they found his body, never realizing he was going to commit suicide that day. This song was playing when they discovered his body. Just wish I knew, he was suffering so much. Man suicide is not the answer. Please if you are down, felling depressed, please talk to family, a friend anyone, just get help. I miss my friend every minute of everyday. I will always, have his great memories to cherish. RIP - FRIEND.
@@nickfiorenza5930 I'm sorry for your loss 😞
God bless you. I know that pain.
Lord have mercy on your friends soul!

Best comment I've ever heard on TH-cam
The lead singer, Justin Hayward, was 19 when he wrote this. He’s 75 now and still singing on tour! No orchestra. I was blessed to see him live this year. The man can still sing!!
Actually, he wrote it in HS at 17. According to Justin himself.
Can we all just send Leo a virtual HUG 🤗 🥰
YES! A big one!
@@jacqueline4514 He needs it ! 😊
Absolutely 🤗
Hugs
Ready....
Seeeeeeeeeeeet.......
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!!!💜
This was my mother‘s favorite song in the world and we played it at her funeral you’re not the only one with tears today Leo thank you for reacting to this one hun ❤️
So sorry to hear of your moms passing. Omg, how much more emotional it must have been to have this song played...on so many levels. My heart goes out to you.❤
Wow...omg!😢 this hits home for alot of us doesnt it? I am sorry to hear about his death as well. My heart goes out to you too.❤
@pippencat you understand it you understand the flood of memories this is one of my mothers very favorite songs in the whole world I actually just posted my favorite memory of my mother and this song the day she busted me smoking pot I read your comment and that’s what brought the flood because this song holds such precious memories for so many of us especially of our parents we had a really amazing parents didn’t we and now I’m not crying because of sadness I am crying because They were amazing it’s not all sad memories and she wouldn’t have wanted it that way gentle hugs honey let the tears flow you know they are looking at us laughing their asses off proud
@@melizavenegas8789 my mother had the most unique funeral awoman could and it was very fitting of the woman she was in life she raised me with the belief that music what is the universal language all humans spoke and that it was the most precious thing the least we could do was play her music like it was a rock concert Moody blues Led Zeppelin Aerosmith Jethro Tull Enya the blues Brothers whole entire album Waylon Jennings Wayne Toups And so much more music that I could list she wanted a rock concert and we did our best as her children to provide that for her yeah I broke down during this song I did and I’m not ashamed because there were so many memories attached to it thank you for your kind words
I'm sorry for your loss.
The times when people made REAL music .... simply beautiful. Never apologize for how you feel, Leo!
It was poetry in motion ☮💖
Laying back in a pitch black room with headphones on is the way to soak this song in. Beautiful masterpiece!
The song is haunting
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's the exact words for this song!
My boyfriend was concert security in college. He said these guys put on the best concert he was ever at and they were super nice and down to earth. He became a fan that night.
Agree, unlike anyone I’ve heard, I’ve seen them three times, and would go again
I totally agree too
I think this one is emotional because it speaks to things we all crave; understanding, acceptance and love.
2:43 “of course that sounds like an eagle falling from the sky...” I went from crying tears of joy to laughing my ass off in a second
This song is beautiful and it touches deep down into your soul. If you lay back, headphones on and eyes closed, you'll see your heaven.
Yes you will!❤️
💖The way he sings "YES I LOVE YOU" is one of the most emotional musical parts ever.
This is one of those songs that no matter how old, it hits you really deep and you can't help getting emotional. No explanation of why it happens, it just does.
Music is the universal language of emotion.
Hey this is Russell, commenting from my daughters account, Damn, I'm old this was our senior prom song, back in 1974.
My dad played this for me as a child.
Especially the extended intro.
He passed away from cancer.
This wrecks me every time.
Sorry about your Dad. My dad passed from cancer last Thanksgiving, I think of him with classical. 🎶
So sorry, Lenore. And Tena. :'(
Sorry about your dad 🍀
What a great memory, I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear your Dad passed away. I know how hard it is. My Dad in died in 2012 from heart disease. My Mom died in 2019 fast and unexpectedly. So many songs remind me of them.
He loved someone very much to write that... 😢 ❤️
One of those timeless tunes...you could play this for anyone from any time(past, present, future) and they would feel it.
You have finally gone down the Moody Blues rabbit hole!!! They're brilliant!!!
Mr. Video is the best in the business. Beautiful reaction.
Perfect song for a huge bean bag chair, candles, stereo with sound canceling earphones, laid back with glass of wine, Few hits of the green and just melt...Thanks for the memories...Love this amazing song. Thanks sweetie, Peace
Thanks for giving me my weekend plans lol
@@andyv2209 Good luck and enjoy
Don't forget the Patchouli incense.
@@pamelabarrera5074 Òoo love me some patchouli!
You just described whst I'm doing!!!! 🤘🤘🤘💜💜💜🎵🎼🎶🎸🥁🎤
You have to listen to this entire album from start to finish, it's like a magical story.
If you like this you might also like "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.
Yes! One of my favorite songs
Yes! Came here to say this.
Agree!
Absolutely
Seeing, hearing both bands live, was an experience in itself. Saw Procol Harem open for Jethro Tull back in the day, and the Moody Blues with a full orchestra in 1983.
Unbelievable!
Tapping into the Moody Blues will put you on a musical spiritual journey 🎶
If by "tapping" you mean mushies or edibles and TMB marathon, I concur. ;)
That album, 'Days of Future Passed', was the genesis of the entire field known as Progressive Rock. Absolutely revolutionary at the time.
It's actually "Days of Future Past".
"I came in for a reaction, not a life evaluation" 😂😂😂
ringo starr from the beatles said this is the most representative song of the 60s
sorry. he said Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale.. So did John back in the days.. But I'll take the Moody's anyday..
@@TheDive25 must be getting craft can't remember a f**king thing
I agree!
I'd have said House Of The Rising Sun personally.
Clicked so fast on this one. I used to listen to this song all the time when I was in high school. Yes, I know I'm dating myself. lol Older than dirt right here and proud of it
One of the greatest bands ever. “Days of Future Passed” is iconic
When you look directly into the camera, you show a bit of your true heart, and it's beautiful..
This song is next level, it makes you feel high just listening to it.
I always thought this. Glad I wasn't alone
Absolutely. This song makes you feel high as hell and White Rabbit makes you feel like you’re trippin balls.
we were high when we listened to that song lol! It was the best song to get high with!!
I have been early 1970's Green m.....
One of my absolute favorite songs.
Band member Justin Hayward wrote and composed the song at age 19 and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward.
It’s sad because your first true love never dies. This song makes you feel that.
One of the most beautiful songs ever, that touches the inner soul. 4 Of the Moody's could sing lead and backup. The high voices in the background, that was them.
You think you’re moody now, there is a long version of this song
with a poem reading. Would love to hear Tuesday Afternoon, the extended
version.
once freaked out my friend with the poem part of it, we were in middle school and my mom was driving us to the movies. We were all three in the cab of the truck, and the poem part started and my mom and i started reciting it, staring straight ahead, and then I turn and look at my friend and she had this "WTF, let me out of here" look on her face.
@@ladyshar42 LMAO❗️Beautiful poem though, I can recite it too.
Yet their song “I’m Just a Singer in a Rock & Roll Band” is so different.
A great song that I wish more celebrities would really listen to
@@blakewestwood8096 true
Their songs, "Ride My Seesaw," "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock & Roll Band," "Tuesday Afternoon," "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," "Wildest Dreams," "The Voice" and "The Story In Your Eyes." They had sooooo many hits!
and Question!!!
The entire Seventh Sojourn album. Not a bad track on it
The background “chorus” sounds were created by Mike Pinder playing the Mellotron… He’s a genius with the instrument…
This is one of the greatest songs of all time, from one of the best albums of all time. They recorded the album with an orchestra. However, this is the radio single edit, the full version has much more orchestration after the main song, and then there is a spoken word poem with more even orchestration afterwards until the end. But yeah, amazing, powerful, meaningful song. I'm glad you got to experience it. Thanks for all you do for all of us! ~Be Blessed
You too, I've got Truth Bumps..I do every time I hear these guys. Stay safe!
Agree. The song is ageless. Exceptional
More Moody Blues! Next Tuesday, "Tuesday Afternoon!" "Question" "Ride My Seesaw" "I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band" any day. Love you!
Close your eyes and just enjoy the music.
@@elysehfm8797 Definitely a song that will transport you. The swelling strings, the woodwind break. Gorgeous gorgeous arrangement.
Yes Tuesday Afternoon !
And "I Know You're Out There Somewhere". A beautiful song that really touches you if you've ever lost someone you loved
@@TheSaint1122, true story. Hard to mention ALL of bands' greatest songs.
Most beautiful rock song ever!!!
Watching your reaction to hearing this masterpiece for the first time takes me back to when I first heard it 50 years ago. It really takes the listener to a wonderful, special place. A real high. That's the power of a damn good song.
"Breathe deep the gathering gloom..."
He left out the best part!
"Watch lights fade from every room"..
actually after you lit up i must say you should put the headphones on a play the entire album beginning to end. this album is considered the first concept album and they followed with 6 more concept albums. all must be listened to completely with the headphones and a joint. its ear candy supreme
That is correct, this song is from "Days of Future Past" . The concept is songs about different times of the day. "Tuesday Afternoon" is another great song from this album.
@@HemlockRidge Have you heard the long version of "Tuesday Afternoon"?
@@abroquet2189 IDK. I have my Father's vinyl LP. He had all (I guess) of their albums. My fave is "In Search of the Lost Chord".
I want To Our Children's Children's Children to be the last thing I listen to before my time on earth is up.
@@nofishinmydiet it should only be done from beginning to end in 1 listen. that album is 1 of my Moodies most favorite out of the 16 studio albums, a dozen solo albums and numerous other recordings they have done. cant wait to hear more Moodies reactions from you and if you want some suggestions, i will be glad to give them to you
Justin Hayward is such an underrated singer, so talented and lets be honest, he was super good looking in 1967...
This song is just one of those masterpieces! My husband took me to see the lead singer Justin Hayward in concert on our first date because he knew I was a fan! 😉 Needless to say, he won my heart, and we were married a little over a year later! And I’m still a huge Moody Blues fan!
they played this song at my grandad's funeral a few months ago, behind a photo montage of his whole life 😰 it's a beautiful one
Music is one of my oldest friends. I have been listening to most of the songs you react to for decades. It is so fun to watch your honest reactions. Music can take us to so many places. When you share your emotions with us we get to know you a little better. Let there be songs to Phil the air.
You're the best. You appreciate good music. The way you leaned back, closed your eyes, and took a deep breath tells me that you understood this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, over and over. I believe you're an old hippie soul, smoking weed, listening to the Moody Blues. You just need to wear bell bottom pants and love beads, and you'd be set. Peace.
My late mother and father had this album, and played it often. The year after Mom passed away, I played the complete album, and cried a river.
I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our mom, one year ago. This song just brings so many great memories, of our wonderful life with mom and dad. I lost a great friend to suicide, when they found him, this song was playing on the stereo. He adored the moody blues, especially this song. RIP- MOM, DAD, RICHARD. May the lord bless you and your family.
That was the short version of the song. If you want to get totally blown away, check out the long version: th-cam.com/video/gqaiS-sDQyY/w-d-xo.html
You have to do the long version
I never new there was a long version
If you REALLY want to blow your face off, hearing the full album through is a must
@@MrChoobsabre or listening to any of their full albums. Threshhold of a dream is sooooooo gooood
Couldn't agree more! The Lament at the end is mindblowing!
Those of us who watched your Mozart & Beethoven reactions knew since then that you'd appreciate the full orchestration of Moody Blues; the rich fullness of sound is both uplifting and energizing. Your musical journey has taken you-and sometimes us-into uncharted territory, to our mutual benefit; steady at the helm and stay the course. I'm so enjoying the trip.
Well said! Well said!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh, we trippin'
No...this is not Mozart or beethoven....not even close
@@dorenemadrzykowski8426 Of course it's not. But Classical pieces fine tune your ears to pick up orchestral layering in groups such as Pink Floyd and Moody Blues. It's Music 101
Beethoven's reactions are my favourite! 🥰
This one came out the year before I was born. Heard it on the radio a lot growing up. Back when you had to actually have talent to make it in music, not just auto-tune garbage. Brings back a lot of memories.
Beautiful song!!!.....I just wish every young people today could soak in the beauty of the old songs!!!! 😢😢
I got goosebumps 3 seconds in. Timeless lyrics and emotions, 50+ years on.
Every now and again a truly great song appears out of the ether. Now and again a classy tune grabs the ears of millions. It's rare that both marks are hit at the same time.
"The eagles falling from the sky", are violins. And yes, they can touch one's soul.
That lean back tho ..... LOVE this song .... gives me chills .... it hits you in your soul. It grabs ahold of you and doesn't let go.
Oh you young people. White satin is referring to white satin sheets. It was a thing back then, luxury sheets. (They do feel good btw) The singers girlfriend gave him a set as a present. Thus the inspiration for the song. Unknowingly she gave us all the present. Thank you to her, whoever she is. Btw he was 19 when he composed this song...Listen to long version to hear the true God given talent of that young man.
Until they slide you right off the bed . Boy they were slippery! Haha
@@sherryscott8084 True enough!! It was one of those things you buy once and once was enough for me. But, I do see now they are using the pillow cases again, suppose to be good for your hair.
Ur listening to the Moody Blues sing Nights in White Satin
Love how genuine ur reactions are
LOL The name of the band is Moody Blues !!! I always loved the lead singer's voice and then when I was older I had a crush on him and he's still a good-looking older man, he aged very well and his voice is still great just like it was when he was a younger man !!!
what a great reaction Leo my man. I can tell you were truly moved, as most everybody is with this song. I would suggest "Tuesday afternoon"
Moody Damn Blues! Look at you being all vulnerable, makes me wanna give you a hug 🤗
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is 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
Beautiful!
I thought it was.pensitive people.
I always thought this song was about a higher deity expressing their love for all us mortals, no matter who or what we are or will be, for all our failings large and small...beautiful reaction Leo, this song is very very deep...❤
My dad said he realized he had gotten old when we went to see one of his favorite bands (The Moody Blues) from his college days in concert several years ago and their drummer was on oxygen.
My cat got all upset when Leo start singing. 😹😹🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my ears hurt listening to it back
@@MrVideo123 😂🤣😂
Sing like nobody is listening, man.
My favorite memory of this song I was 15 it was the first time my mom caught me smoking weed I was high as a kite she put me in her old Nova and hit the highway she put this taping told me to buckle up and that’s win I met my mother a a woman ❤️ I learned being a pothead is a family tradition it was a hot summer evening the sun was setting she told me to close my eyes and watch the patterns of the sun on my eyes .... I can still smell the warm air and the oil of the nova and feel the wind on my skin then tide my seasaw came on and She told me to open my eyes and then that’s when the beginning of the love for speed racing began we were on an old back Road and she floored it I’m 47 this year and the grandmother of three beautiful girls two of them are her spitting image literally they make the same faces she did I return the favor of taking my daughters on a drive each of them when I busted them smoking pot and introduced myself as a woman to them you brought up a memory I hold very dear in my heart Leo yes my girls continue the family tradition and one of them is hell of a speed racer just like her mom and just like her granna Shirley I can’t wait for the next three little females to get busted smoking a little pot by me or their mom I will make sure just the same as this album was playing for me and I played it for my daughters it will be played for my granddaughters
Because I love them oh how I love them I can still hear her voice she was a powerhouse of a woman 6 foot two and built like a brick shit house to this day she is the largest human outside of my father I ever knew both in size stature and personality she is dearly missed I wish she would have had The chance to know her great granddaughters especially Eva I often times wonder if that’s my mother reincarnated LOL thank you for this memory Leo truly sorry for the long Post but this is truly one of my most favorite memories
Much love to you mum

This entire album is done beautifully. Its an entire story about the whole day in just 7 songs, and it all builds up to this song, Nights in White Satin as the 7th song.
This song means so much to me, and your reaction to it is why I love to watch you! Keep it up, Leo! We adore you!
Stay good stay humble
You too! How's work?
Justin Hayward, one of the great voices in prog rock.
Moody Blues are in my opinion are the GOAT prog rock bands! Their shows were killer!
@@emilyflotilla931 Yeah, my son is in a prog rock band, and he definitely thinks these guys are top drawer. As I do too.
@@SSGTA440 Moody Blues and Pink Floyd are on a different level from everyone else when it comes to writing songs that are meant to be felt rather than heard
@@RobwLPOC Yeah, my son and I speak about that when we talk about a lot of the prog bands....totally agree..they have more meaning, more core than peripheral, like most pop music..
I am a hard-core Elvis fan but nights in white satin is my all time favorite song. It takes me to my safest place. A small child in bed at night listening to the radio as I drift off to sleep. It's beautiful, it's sad, it's moving.
You had me at, "Make you sit back and think about shit....they look like they getting ready to go bull fightin!" Bahahahaha!!!!
Dude wrote that song when he was 19 yrs old! Hard to imagine.
The Moody Blues was my first rock concert. Stevie Ray Vaughn opened for them. Other favorites of mine are "Ride My Seesaw," "Tuesday Afternoon," and "Question."
You need to let us know if you are going to do Unboxing again. I have the PERFECT gift for you, but I need to see your face when you open it.
And of course, my daily request: "La Fiesta" by Maynard Ferguson, studio version please.
That must have been fantastic. I'm jealous.
I saw them in '87, at Saratoga. The Fixx opened for them. Everyone was sitting there bored until the MB's showed up. The crowd surged to their feet and never sat down. Of course by that time they'd been around long enough to have die-hard fans.
What a great first concert!
This song will move everyone to tears. But everyone needs a good cry now & then.
A song that came to be the year I was born. I remember my moms singing this to me as a baby. When Covid 19 killed her last year , I held her hand after she died and (thanks to youtube) I played this song for her. This is the first I've heard this since . Thanks man.
Occupational hazards for YT reactors are; twisted muscles from all the dancing, locked jaw from too much laughing, and being confronted by existential reflections. And you do that for us. Thanks Mr Video.
Tuesday Afternoon - Moody Blues LONG version. Incredible journey. 8 :30 minutes. Brilliant!
Love them live sounds after 54 years
I loved your honest reaction. Justin Hayward (the lead singer) wrote this when he was 19 years old after his girlfriend left him. She had bought him white satin sheets and he wrote about how he felt lying in bed covered with those sheets. You should react to their songs 'The Voice' and 'Question', but they will also make you reevaluate your life.
Got to do Procol Harum - A whiter shade of pale after this one. Similar vibes
Good idea, both songs are some of the greatest ever written.
And they were also released the same year 1967.
This reminds me of my boyfriend when I was 15. I broke up with him, my parents picked me up from his house, and this song was on the radio. #RIPKEITHCURTAIN
Did you kill him
Wtf rip🧐
You ripped the curtain?
Aw. RIP Keith.
So wonderful to see how someone younger can appreciate our music from our time
"Nights in white Satin" is a forever song.Hauntingly Beautiful.
And they’re still performing!!! Rest In Peace Ray Thomas. Love them and they had so many good songs.
Saw them in concert before Ray Thomas died on their FLY ME HIGH tour a few years back...FLAWLESS show. MY personal GOAT!
My mom played this a lot when i was a small child. That song, and "Tuesday Afternoon" by
The Moody Blues reminds me of my early childhood in a very intense, and nostalgic way.
So glad you can appreciate that song.
The amount of sadness in some of their songs defies physics. It just pulls at your heart. This one always gets me. And also, "Go Now" I discovered them myself about 25 years ago when my older brother took me to my first show. So amazing to see you discovering this, and loving it. You have a lot waiting for you, my friend, and I'm excited for you! Their catalog is diverse, eclectic, and wonderful. Cheers :)
Consent is important... and this song touched you without it.
I'm not sure how to feel or how you feel--but if you need to talk about it, your friends are here for you :)
You could've titled this "The Moody Blues touched me without my consent." Then released it on April Fool's Day.
😅😅😅
songs like this make me think music is a drug. & i get so high.
Music IS a drug! You nailed it!
Take your pick: "Tuesday Afternoon", "I'm Just A Singer in A Rock and Roll Band", "The Voice" "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", "Wildest Dreams, "Question" - all greats!
Veteran Cosmic Rocker
Justin Hayward, the main singer, wrote this song when he was 19. The high falsetto is sung by John Lodge, the other vocalist with the curly hair on the left. Ray Thomas is the flautist, vocalist and founding member of the Moody Blues, who has since passed away.. RIP Ray. The Moodies are one of my favorite groups; I have seen them in concerts many times. xx
One of my dad's favorite songs.
And a GREAT song to play while high as shit (which is probably why it was always one of his favorites)
