    This is a band with the same gravitas as the Beatles. Every band member was talented beyond measure. Every song was unique, and every album should be listened to from the beginning to the end, as the first 8 albums were all concept albums. They were magnificent, magical and legendary…

      This was a very sentimental song for me at one point in my life. It came out not long after my first girlfriend and I had to break up because we lived too far away from each other. I spent a lot of time wondering what she was doing, and without the internet and social media, wondering was all I could do.

      ​@mikerichards67 I'd agree it's a sort of come back. MTV was several years old at this point and the videos had really changed the perception and focus of popular music. Bands like Moody Blues were realizing the had to hop on board or possibly get left behind.

      Absolutely. I think this is one of those songs that you almost have to be of a "certain age" to fully understand ("Send in the Clowns" is another one).
      It's funny-over the weekend I did some cleaning and I ran across a wallet-sized photo of my first serious girlfriend, from about 1982. I easily spent a couple of minutes just staring at the photo and remembering all the things we did (including things I won't mention in polite company). And I did wonder if she ever thinks about me.

    Interesting that you've done two Moody Blues songs, and they were separated by 19 years (1967 and 1986). In between, they had "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", and "Sitting at the Wheel". Justin Hayward had a voice on him, didn't he?

    • @Steve_Stowers
      @Steve_Stowers ปีที่แล้ว +7

      You're not wrong-but it's interesting that two of the songs you picked were written and sung by John Lodge, and a third was cowritten by Lodge and Hayward. (There are lots of other great songs you could have listed as well; and the Moody Blues had four good singers/songwriters.)

    Glad you did this review - I think you guys are not yet old enough to harken back to a "most nostalgic time" in your lives. Right now you are a young family building what will eventually be your own history - times you will look back upon with deep emotional and bitter-sweet nostalgia.
    Moody Blues got started in the '60s. The woman in this video clearly was deeply in love with that man and with her life and all of the times they had together. She never really let go of that part of her life. She longs for a chance to relive it just a little - she tries to connect with her long lost love. How wonderful we all would feel if we could just relive that one special summer love - or that year in college...to once again if only briefly to feel and to smell and to hear and to touch those experiences...but we cannot do that. time has moved on and left those times permanently embedded and bound together with the emotions - the feelings of youth, freedom, companionship. It goes by so fast. During those special times we never imagine that it will not last but for a year, a semester...a summer...and then we are swept away from our reverie by the forces of time and obligations of grown up lives...as men and women - no longer young and free to do and to live as we chose to do when we were 19 and twenty..

      Great point. I was born nostalgic (I think many Gen Xers had nostalgia sort of dumped on them by our Boomer parents, lol) but this song clicked so hard with me even when it came out and I was a kid--the gorgeous romance of someone looking back on their first love, not to mention the poetry . . . I remember skies reflected in your eyes . . . once beneath the stars, the universe was ours . . . it captured that starry-eyed feeling of first love so well! All of the Moody Blues' music was so evocative and melodic, but this one made me understand the rosy dizziness of young love even before I'd felt it!

I had a fling with a gal from California (I'm from Chicago) and it was a great time of my life, my first big love, but she wanted to go back to Cally and I wasn't ready for any commitment. When this song came out years later it reminded me so much of our year and a half fling. I love the Moody Blues, my wife and my first song at our wedding was New Horizons from 7th Sojourn.

    Thank you so much. I asked for this a while back. I’ve seen them live close to 20 times going back to the 70s. As good as they are here, they are absolutely incredible live. They’ve done shows with an entire symphony orchestra down in front of the stage as accompaniment. This song was from 1986 and is about wondering about a long lost love. Their song I Know You’re Out There Somewhere continues the story so now you must listen to that. They started out around 1964 with their song Go Now. I was in junior high and pretty much wore out the 45 record. Would also be a good listen to hear the contrast from where they started to where they ended up.

We saw Justin a few months ago 22. A class act and a group that went from progressive rock to writing beautiful love songs. They changed massively when Mike Pinder left.

    So glad you've jumped down the Moody Blues rabbit hole. 🐇🐇🐇 May I recommend *Tuesday Afternoon*.... which was released on their 1967 album Days of Future Passed, a concept album chronicling a typical day. It's not just a "song", it's an experience. But, Days of Future Passed is a concept album, and definitely deserves to be listened to in its entirety, eventually.
    *In Your Wildest Dreams* may seem slow, however, I would classify it more as a ballad. Many people think a particular song is slow when it's ready a ballad, there's a difference.
    Their work with sympathy orchestras is what makes them so special. Hope to hear more of The Moody Blues from y'all soon!! ❤️😊

    Moody Blues were a 60's and 70's group, this song was from their mid 80's comeback. Easy to see how you hear the 70's influence in their sound. For future reactions I would say go early again..."Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Voices in the Sky", "The Story in Your Eyes", "Isn't Life Strange", "I'm Just a Singer", "Blue Guitar" and many more.

    This era of the Moodies was like the "Updated" Moody Blues for the 80s. There's way more to dive into; their earlier music and the later. The later includes my favorite song of theirs of this era, "The Voice." The earlier era Moody Blues song, from the same album as Nights In White Satin, is "Tuesday Afternoon."

    Moody Blues are one of my favorite bands. Love this song and hear it at work all the time. I saw them on a double bill with Chicago back in 1992. Great concert and I still have their tour shirt. I also recommend "The Voice" and a song I don't see requested a lot called "Gemini Dream". From their earlier songs I recommend "Ride My Seesaw", "Question" and my all time favorite of theirs "The Story In Your Eyes".

    Thanks guys for reacting to this song. I love the poetry and musicality of Nights in White Satin, but this one is very special to me, because it exactly captures that feeling of thinking about that first true love, and more than that, reaching out to see what they're doing now and perhaps whether they still have feelings for you (as you might still harbor for them). In 1986, there was no Facebook, so people often lost touch or drifted apart when they went their separate ways. Other than chance meetings or a phone call or card/letter our of the blue, there was no easy way to stay in touch. This song is about that long lost love, but also making the effort to reach out to them, and maybe taking a chance and seeing if there is still a spark.

    The Moody Blues were a wonderful band back in the 60's and early 70's, I love them. Their album "Days Of Future Past" was wonderful. Then they disappeared, and all I had was memories of them. In the mid 1980's they released one more album, with this song and "The Other Side Of Life" on it, and they were back fully in my heart.
    To all my lost loves, I wonder, do you ever think about me "In Your Wildest Dreams"?
    I have an ex-wife who once shouted at me "I gave you the best years of my life!" I didn't say it, but I thought to myself "No dear, *I* gave *YOU* the best years of your life." As the years have rolled by, I believe that is certainly true: Her best years were when she was with me. I am certain that she still thinks of me "In Her Wildest Dreams", but I would not take her back for all the tea in China.

    The Moody Blues are one of my top 5 all time bands. This is a fantastic song. I grew up on their early work in the late 60's. This song came out in the 80's. I think Jay would be prefer "The Other Side of Life" and "Stepping In A Slide Zone". The Moodys can do it all. Their music works better with live performance videos than MTV style videos. I've seen them live twice and both times were fantastic.

      "The Present" is one of my favourite albums especially "Blue World", "Sitting at the Wheel" and "I am". My favourite Moodies track of all time is "Vintage Wine" from "Sur La Mer" but I grew up (as a kid) on the early 60's tracks (like "Tuesday Afternoon", "Lovely to See You", "Gypsy", "For My Lady" and so many more). Always loved them. Always will. Like you I've seen them live as well (but only once alas). It was around when "Keys to the Kingdom" came out with "Say It With Love". Probably my favourite band (but I do like so many). Jo.

    The song is about remembering back to the 60s, when the band first started out. He went on to fame, and she was left behind. She ended up marrying someone else, but couldn't forget how he'd made her felt, her first love. Marriage and two kids later, he's famous, and all she can think about was what might have been. So she goes to their concert, and the reunion she'd hoped for was thwarted. Segue to the next song, 'I know You're Out There Somewhere', where he'd seen her at that concert, and kept searching for her until he found her.

  • @danastearns7939

    awe, The Moody Blues. Love this exceptional music. Some music critic back in the day when they first appeared with The British Invasion, had said that rock blended with an orchestra would not last long. Their 1st top 40 single was "Go Now" in '64 and their last top 40 single was "I know you're out there" in 1988. Not bad for a group they said wouldn't last very long.!! They released the 1st true concept album - Days of Future Passed - in '67 (Nights in White Satin was on that album but wasn't released as a single until 1972), but another song off that album, "Tuesday Afternoon" was released as a single and hit top 40. This song was released '86, followed by "Other side of Life" in the same year. My fav was "The Voice" - released in '81. The songwriting for their music were shared among several of the band members but the primary songwriter/lyricist was the lead singer - Justin Haywood - extremely under recognized as both a songwriter and singer. The band was considered rock/progressive/pop genres. They have often been called "The Thinking Mans' Band" - as the lyrics are deep with multi-dimensional meanings depending on personal/individual interpretations. They released something like 16 studio albums, of which 12 went Gold/Platinum in the US, Canada and the UK; 24 compilation albums, 5 of those went gold/platinum in US, UK and Canada; and over 30 singles that did go top 100 billboard charts with 12 in top 40 chart. Sadly several band members have passed on, but Justin Haywood still does some solo concerts featuring many songs that he has written. Hope you react to more of their music.

    After that one, though, give Justin's songs a break and listen to:
    'Survival' or 'Nervous' - singalong anthems by John Lodge (the one who didn't like Justin having a girlfriend in the video)

This song got me into going back and listening to their old albums from the 60s and 70s and I’ve been a fan ever since. So many great songs by these guys. The Story In Your Eyes is a must listen to.

    One of their other big songs is "Afternoon" that might be my favorite.
    I still say, you can never really judge a song until you hear it 3 times, unless it's really bad. This is one of those weird songs, the more you hear it, the more you like it. This song is all about lyrics and bass, both are so smooth, and so easy for people to sing a long. Nights in White Satin is one of those very iconic songs, that I would assume most people would request. What is kind of weird, out of Kalamazoo, MI there is two radio stations broadcasting from the same building I believe, 107.7 which was hard rock and 103.3 which was pop. 107.7 played Nights in White Satin all the time, and 103.3 played Your Wildest Dreams all the time as well.
