I lost my wife of 37 years in January. Every word of this song now has a whole new meaning. It's hauntingly beautiful and brings back so many wonderful memories. Oh, how I love you Cheryl.
Hi Daniel, so sorry to hear of the passing of your wife, Cheryl!! Stay strong and yes always remember the awesome memories together...we will all see our Loved ones again in Heaven one day. Blessings...this is a Beautiful song!! Life is so short. Love and be kind always ❤
I know it's been a year since you posted this comment but I'm truly sorry for your loss. While it's not exactly the same, I lost my mom when I was 17 years old (I'm 39 now) and in March, I lost my very best friend of 23 years. I also believe that we will see the people we loose again. I think heaven is a replaying our favorite memories and our favorite people coming to see us over and over again.
My Wife of 29 years passed 8/5/2022. For the last 2 weeks as she laid there, sometime aware, sometime not, I'd softly sing this song, as it was her favorite. No matter what, she would smile once I started, except the last 2 days. I think she was between Worlds. I still sang it to her. Rest in Peace Carolyn, thank you for loving me.
That's a beautiful image you have described There's something about music that brings out the most noble and loving parts of us. I hope you have plenty of close friends and loved ones who give you the support you need
Anyone still listening to this song in 2023 God bless you. Such a wonderful song. One of a kind. It's about love yet its so tragic and heart breaking for some reason. They def dont make music like they used too that's for damn sure.
I love this song as it is one of my favourites . I am frequently listening to it due it's peculiarity of singer's admirable voice expressing the love and the music rhythms which take one to the different world lovers.
You are both truly blessed. I was not so lucky. Wife left me in the early eighties $87,000.00 in debt with a 5 and 10 yrs old to raise with no support but I got full custody of my children which was a gift from God. Both now grown with their own families and doing well so I was blessed but in a totally different way. God bless and keep on lovin each other. PS got 3 amazing grandchildren. Another blessing.
I lost my husband of 43 years back in 2013 , we always loved the Moody Blues and this song was always a favorite . Had the album back in the good old days. I’m 71 now and have been turning all the grand kids on to the good old stuff ! They all love it !!
I am currently 18 and i could never EVER produce something this BEAUTIFUL, so to say this was made by a 19 year old is mind blowing to me. Also these lyrics are what REAL, TRUE, PASSIONATE, LOVE would sound like if it could make a sound
Makes me alive we've all gone through traumatic events in our life . When I wake up every morning I think of Jehovah God and say thank you for this day cuz I'm a big sinner.
I'm 74. This song brings back memories, feelings of my hippie era. Met my wife on the corner of Haight Ashbury in February 1968. Got married three months later. Still married 54 years later. Thanks to her and songs like this.
It's remarkable. Love being at a safe distance from this worlds influence, yet coming to us from ...... parts known only to the ones making the journey before us. My grandmother passed, but came back. When she opened her eyes all she said was this--" now I understand". She wouldn't tell me anything else. One hour later she went back to stay. I miss you grandma..
My dads favourite song, he was such a gentle soul deep down. Too bad his schizophrenia got the better of him and he overdosed on his medication. Hope your pain free now dad love you, I'm soo happy this song comes up on here, givese a sense your still sticking around x
To those who have lost their beloved one and find their comfort in this song. Keep on listening, sing out loud, and take your time and space to mourn. This song is the beauty of what love is. Never forget your dear memories, treasure them deeply. May all our lost loved ones rest in eternal peace
Your a man this is good music thats it. Music is one place we do not define who we are but let the music speak and reach places of the soul and heart that nothing else can.
My mom played this song when I was around 6 to 8 yrs old. I fell in love with the song and now she's passed I listen to it thinking about her and the time we had together. Such a sad and beloved song but she left a great legacy. I love you mom, thank you moody blues.
I'm 34 and i remember as a kid at about 8 i was in my room, my dad would spend Sunday evenings playing music from his era and i heard this song playing one night and i was hooked. I went downstairs and made him play it about 10 times. Sadly passed away a few years back but i thank him for introducing me to this kind of music
Bro, I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate all to well.. my dad passed 5yrs ago.. he was the big music listener, he played everything but mostly classic rock.. . This song has a special meaning for me also. My dad and I flew to tuscon Arizona and were heading for Mexico the next day.. we were driving down a long stretch of road, he let me drive the rental car on a single lane road, this came on the radio and it's now a nice memory for me..
@@mikelund57 thankyou for your comment, I too am sorry for your loss my friend. Your memory of you and your father sounds really nice, its amazing to have memories like that. Music is strange in a way, that it brings back the memories almost more vividly, hard to explain. Funny, alot of times I would play my dad my music i liked to get him to approve that modern music was good, I would say 80% of the time he would say "hmmm, its just noise" 🤣
@@sirbiscuit6403 ya know it's funny how now in our ear, we look back at the 80s and 90s, and how parents didn't appreciate or approve of.. like you said, your father said it was noise..it's all I hear now.. there's a few small bands that have some really good stuff.. I'm born in 75 . I listen to classical music to classic rock. Big band and jazz. Love music
This is one hell of a song, and will always be one of my absolute favorite songs of all time! They seriously dont make magic like this anymore, that makes you really think or get into your feelings.
I am 68 years old and I remember when this was a new release. Even back then we knew we were blessed with a timeless classic rock song. I am so glad the song lives on for younger people to appreciate.
Yes,I am also 68 and I remember listening to it for the first time thinking how beautiful and ethereal the music was. May I suggest the music of Joan Osborne to you… if you do not already know about her.
Questa canzone che ha quasi 60 anni ha qualcosa di che non so spiegare di drammatico anche se non conosco tutte le parole è una canzone che mi dà tanti ricordi e l'ascolto oggi come l'ascoltavo tanto tempo fa lascia un segno che non se ne va più❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was my mam & dad's song, they used to play in college. My mam remarried and moved away, she passed away 23 years ago. He still has letters he never sent & still listens to this with tears in his eyes. If you love someone make sure they know it, life really is too short.
I say the same that's the climax line ur rite all the way I wanna be a flying 🐎 🐴 horse maybe a palomino Pegasus is there such n animal known2man if so ur on 4the ride of ur life never touching grounds anywhere ever again that's what this song does4me I sang it at resorts shaking trembling I cured a bit of stage fright this ain't easy on both parts the heart singing n the brain stage fright best of health this lifetime n the next etc!
As for me I'm 61 & totally agree with you...from the 1st time I heard this as a teenager I identified with the song and knew I wanted to have it played at my memorial service when I passed away. But I want the long version with the poem at the end...
I'm listening to this and realizing how fast life Goes by~ 1 second you're 20 years old riding a Harley across the United States and then you look up and see that you're in your 60's looking at terminal cancer Don't waste a second of it, Live your Dreams with God by Your side 🙏
@@Shawney-jf6kc God help us all is right. You wouldnt hear modern young artists coming out with deep, meaningful, heartfelt music like this any more really. Thats so sad, we've lost so much in this age of rapidly advancing technology
Mike Oldfield wrote the album Tubular Bells played all 40 instruments on it and recorded it and co produced it at the age of 19. They really don't make musical geniuses like that anymore.
Beautiful music like this Puts Taylor Swift's crap to shame!! Everyone acts like she's done something so amazing. You listen to this song and it is absolutely beautiful, not the bubble gum/high school crap that is being aired today. I love the Moody Blues... This song was played in the movie "Shattered" with Tom Berringer. I already loved this song, but after seeing that movie, I love it more...
I'm 57. I loved this song when it came out simply for the music itself. It's been in the very back of my mind for a very long time. But now I have finally found true love, and the words have so much meaning now.
that way before i was born. my mom had the whole collection of old CDs and she use to play for us to listen to all the time on that trip to California and to Los Vegas also.
The lead singer has one of the most underrated voices in history. He’s never off key, he always hits the mark, and their songs are not easy to sing. But he’s always dead bang on in everything.
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts
CROVAN 87546 THE SANDRINGHAM Idk how you can consider yourself a big music fan if you’ve never gone hunting for it. There’s an insane amount of music being made, with more eclectic styles than ever before.
Never heard this song till now. This hits different 🔥 I’m young but appreciation for good music has no age or generation. It’s what makes these songs truly timeless classics ❤️
Ah man, there's a lot out there that you will really feel... white rabbit is another good one, tons around this era. Zeppelin, Stones, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green. It goes on
Dude fr !!! The music now these days is just trash it's very rare to find a good song .These songs from the 50's- 90's ERs are just soul and gut wrenching with feel 💞💞nothing can top it !!
Nah, they still make great music today, you just have to step outside the mainstream produced-for-mass-consumption scene. And they made unimaginative junk back in the "good old days" too. It's just that the bad music from those eras didn't survive the test of time: nobody's playing it anymore, because unlike the "classics", most music is just a temporary fad. I'm not sure who coined this phrase first, but "90% of everything is shit". It's true today, it was true in the 90's (perhaps you repressed the memories of the euro dance music, house, new beat/acid, boy bands, child singers, etc...), it was true in the 80's, 70's, 60's, and probably goes back all the way to the dawn of man... Ignore that 90%; you want to be looking for the 10%.
I was in my early 20s and living in England when this was released. Still one of the great songs from that classic era. As good today as it was then. Along with 'A whiter shade of pale' by Procol Harum. Nice to see a younger generation discovering these songs which bring back so many memories for my generation.
This song is better than shade of pale but the keys r nice2pale that's only thing words here blow pale ways away just my opinion best of health no matter the differences we all may encounter upon !
What an awesome song after all these years, I just turned 70 and this song is priceless, so well done, the lyrics and the instrumental part, you rock Moody Blues!!
I've loved this song since I was young. My parents raised me on oldies stations and classical music. Something about this song always moves me so deeply, I cry without fail every time I hear it. My first love, and my first long term relationship, I told him I wanted this to be our song, and he agreed. He sadly showed me he was undeserving of such pure beauty, so hopefully someday I'll meet someone truly worthy of sharing this song with. As others have said, I love this song so much I want it played at my funeral. It's a truly timeless masterpiece.
We need a comeback of oldies.... Real music that stirs the soul. Real musicians, beautiful words and feeling in their deliverance. Today is lacking, and I'm very grateful to be almost 56 years old and was born in the sixties when music was real. Bring back real. 😍
im not from this generation period when this song was released... but i love it, my mum showed me this when i was a kid.,.. to this day i still tear up and smile when i hear it. its now a dedication to my mother who passed away 2006, this is her song from me.
My thoughts exactly 💯 %,when we were blessed but never new,we cry for ourselves now selfishly for what we have lost. Really we were and are the lucky ones having such loves in our life!
I agree with you 100%. Do you remember Procol Harum's tune "Whiter Shade Of Pale"? It has something hauntingly beautiful too...just to name one. I don't think we will ever hear music like this anymore😕.
I used to listen to this when I was 18 thinking about my first love! 😭 I look back & laugh at my dramatic ness but he was the first guy to crack my heart open & I loved him deeply
When I heard this song many many yrs ago in my teens my step dad put it on in the car and said wait till you hear this song..I said what the hell are you listening to that's not music ...as I got older I'll eat my words this is what you call music they don't make music like this anymore. ..powerful music....
@@Galen-864 your right im 74 and saw them live when they did go now, im a rocker and love classic rock but latetly ive discovered some other beautiful music like arias from opera from puccini, verdi, mascagni and their beautiful music like this.
Im listening to this song now and the other day, my mother told me she gave birth to me listening to this song playing in the background at the hospital. I feel like it was in a way destined to be this song out of any other. It just touches my soul.
Always made me think( how sad it was never knowing I am in this way of life, talk about SHOCK WELL DAM STRAIGHT IM MIND BLOWN TOTALLY& NOT ONE WILL TELL ME ANYTHING WHY WHY????
After years of heartache and pain I have finally found my soul mate. I never thought I could of found love like this. This song is as deep as the love I feel for him ❤ Absolutely beautiful ❤
I am totally addicted to the orchestrated ending. I keep running it back many times. The whole song is truly touching though. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I was in high school when this song was released. Quite a few of my classmates were big fans of The Moody Blues. Some years later I saw them in concert. But since then this song hardly comes on the radio. I listen to an oldies station which once played this song so often, now it doesn't come on at all. Two days ago I was in a store which plays 50s, 60s, 70s tunes. This song was playing when I entered, and I recognized it right away. Within seconds I was nearly fighting back tears. Some reading this may agree, others disagree. But music today can't compare to works of art and genius from my youth. What a shame, children growing up today will never know really good, sensual, emotional, profoud music like this. They will never know what it was like sitting in a park, riding the bus or going to the beach and hearing great songs like "Nights in White Satin".
Cannot agree more! Today music is such a rubbish. So glad my parents listened to this kind of music and passed it on. Greetings from a 35-years old woman from Zagreb, Croatia.
I was a young pre-teen when this came out. Still my favorite love song of all time. I wooed my wife of 38 years with this song back in 1979. Simply the best and most beautiful song ever.
Listened to this a lot while mourning my grandmother, who died in March. Now her memory as well as a *certain* *character* are forever in my thoughts whenever this comes on. Love and miss you Gamma 💔💔💔
I heard the Moody Blues play this last night in Las Vegas. Fantastic concert! Justin Hayward and John Lodge are as great as ever. Seeing them again tonight, two more weeks at the Wynn!
now THIS is a real heartfelt masterpiece right here!!! I'm a 35 year old lady and my dad always played this kind of music when I was growing up, so he along with my mom really technically raised me on oldies. but I do also enjoy the 90's music that I also grew up listening to.
I was 15 years old when the love of my life dedicated and introduced this song. He passed away suddenly almost 20 years ago and tears fell down every time I listen this master piece 🎧🎼🎼🎼🎼❤💔
Yes, granted that if it wasn't for Dark Shadows I probably would have NEVER actually heard this song in it's entirety. I actually didn't know how haunting it is, and how much of it I can definitely relate to. I don't for one minute think that this is a kind of love song that is meant for a happily ever after. Instead I think it about knowing what real, true, honest, soul-mate kind of love is, and not having that love, for one reason or another. That my friends is a fate worse then death, and when I hear this song, it is exactly what I feel. All those times I wrote letters that aren't meant to be sent, but meant to be a sort of comfort that maybe they will realize these things without it. And when you see people in their happiness, they don't have a clue what that torture is. I may not be a child of the 60's, but I am not a modern robot void of emotion and truth.....
This song was way before my time, but even as a child, I heard this somewhere and it hit me deep in my soul then.. The words are beautiful, I have loved someone with this intensity (and lost them) and it still evokes such strong emotions... I hope to love like this again some day, so I can play this song to them so they can hear/feel the beauty in it
One of my all time favourite songs that I first heard in the 60s. A song that means so much to me from my past to my present, etched in my soul forever.
I’m a 28 year old man, I want to thank my dad for playing this type of music when I was a kid. This is gold dust
Best music ever❤
I'm 35 and I made this tape with other songs for my mom to work out too when I was 12 😁👏
Agreed!!
Your daddy knew a lot more my dear. Us older ones often do
#MeToo
I lost my wife of 37 years in January. Every word of this song now has a whole new meaning. It's hauntingly beautiful and brings back so many wonderful memories. Oh, how I love you Cheryl.
Hi Daniel, so sorry to hear of the passing of your wife, Cheryl!! Stay strong and yes always remember the awesome memories together...we will all see our Loved ones again in Heaven one day. Blessings...this is a Beautiful song!! Life is so short. Love and be kind always ❤
@@parisalllivesmatter1920 Thank you for the kind words. I have not doubt at all that we will stroll together again.

I'm blessed to have the Love of a better woman than I deserve. I can not imagine your pain. May you re unite in the after life. ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss Brother
We played this song for my daddy as he was on his way to the other side. He loved music and the Moody Blues band. I love you daddy.
My Wife of 29 years passed 8/5/2022. For the last 2 weeks as she laid there, sometime aware, sometime not, I'd softly sing this song, as it was her favorite. No matter what, she would smile once I started, except the last 2 days. I think she was between Worlds. I still sang it to her.

Aah man.... I was so touch by your comment. My greatest condolences!

That's a beautiful image you have described
There's something about music that brings out the most noble and loving parts of us.
I hope you have plenty of close friends and loved ones who give you the support you need
This is the most beautiful song ever written, was 17 at the time, now 71, still cry every time!😢❤
Me too
Same here my friend 😥
Have you heard " C est la Vie " by Emerson Lake and Palmer.
We played this at our instead of the WEDDING MARCH. November 17, 1972

I love this song as it is one of my favourites . I am frequently listening to it due it's peculiarity of singer's admirable voice expressing the love and the music rhythms which take one to the different world lovers.
I'm 40 years old and I completely believe this is the best song ever written in my opinion!
Have alway's loved this song, but after losing my husband of 40yrs, it gives new meaning to it for me.
My Husband an I met when this song was playing. 1 year later this became our Song. It's been 44 yrs an we are still deeply in Love an going strong.
Minunat! ❤

To those who have lost their beloved one and find their comfort in this song. Keep on listening, sing out loud, and take your time and space to mourn. This song is the beauty of what love is. Never forget your dear memories, treasure them deeply. May all our lost loved ones rest in eternal peace
This is proof that music has no color I am a 62 year old black male and I absolutely love this
Its a great song!
Your a man this is good music thats it. Music is one place we do not define who we are but let the music speak and reach places of the soul and heart that nothing else can.
Wish people would see each other for who they truly are, not colors. Either evil or good.

♥️~from Brazil
How beautiful your mom must of been to play this for you as a child. One of my most favorites.

This is one hell of a song, and will always be one of my absolute favorite songs of all time! They seriously dont make magic like this anymore, that makes you really think or get into your feelings.
Allow me to recommend to you Dermot Kennedy's song Power Over Me.
Oh they are out there. You just have to find them.
People used their time for creativity then, not video games & phone addictions

And, as for me I’m 63, & totally agree with you. I want this played, at my memorial service.
Hauntingly beautiful! What a great song.Masterpiece
Honestly, this song feels like what being in love at 18/19 feels like. So intense, so profound at that age..
I’m 25 and this one of my favorite songs. I just went through a horrendous breakup, and this song has been my therapy.
This song conveys a mystery I can’t explain. The orchestration is so beautiful.
One of the most beautiful songs that I ever heard
❣❣❣So true m888👌👌👌
Beautiful song i sing this song to my wife
Or probably ever will hear, as poor as today's so call music is now a days
Agreed. Anothar goosebump song from about the same era - The Air That I Breathe by the Hollies.
@@edwardsosa3771 Great! Keep it up! Eventually it may morph into something equally beautiful!
I'm listening to this and realizing how fast life Goes by~
1 second you're 20 years old riding a Harley across the United States and then you look up and see that you're in your 60's looking at terminal cancer
Don't waste a second of it, Live your Dreams with God by Your side 🙏
I wish you all the best brother.
I wish you well x
Praying for you Hank.
Get well soon bro

Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin Lyrics, Justin Hayward is the best vocalist I ever seen, I Love all of his songs,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When he sings "oh how i love you", if that doesn't give u goose bumps Idk what will!
Concert tickets to Tool would do the trick :)
Justin Swain Oh God Yes!!!
@@olgaagua30 Tool. Really?. What's next? Durst the turdst?
Joseph K. Blakeney i dont get it??? my comment was regarding the song
@@horowitz8680 the new album blew me away, I'm still not back all the way yet
Seriously? a 19-year old wrote this masterpiece? God help me.
God help us all
@faith and max,s show faith fazbear it is heart wrenching, that is the phrase I have looked for.
@@Shawney-jf6kc God help us all is right. You wouldnt hear modern young artists coming out with deep, meaningful, heartfelt music like this any more really. Thats so sad, we've lost so much in this age of rapidly advancing technology
Mike Oldfield wrote the album Tubular Bells played all 40 instruments on it and recorded it and co produced it at the age of 19. They really don't make musical geniuses like that anymore.
Beautiful music like this Puts Taylor Swift's crap to shame!! Everyone acts like she's done something so amazing. You listen to this song and it is absolutely beautiful, not the bubble gum/high school crap that is being aired today. I love the Moody Blues... This song was played in the movie "Shattered" with Tom Berringer. I already loved this song, but after seeing that movie, I love it more...
I'm 57. I loved this song when it came out simply for the music itself. It's been in the very back of my mind for a very long time. But now I have finally found true love, and the words have so much meaning now.
2022 and I am still stirred by this old song Thank you moody Blues from Greece!
Hi Tassia💐💐
Congratulations Moody Blues for finally getting the respect you deserve by being inducted into the RRHOF Class of 2018 !
This is simply music from another world. It's so beyond anything else it's off the damn scale.
I remember hearing this song in the mid 70s! It was awesome and before its time! You are so right! Otherworldly!
+DarthCipient it is great music especially the melody also.
It was recorded in 1967. It wasn't popular until 1972 when it was #2 on the charts in the U.S.
that way before i was born. my mom had the whole collection of old CDs and she use to play for us to listen to all the time on that trip to California and to Los Vegas also.
+Ron Ford Back in 1967 it was popular in .... Argentina, of all places!!
The lead singer has one of the most underrated voices in history. He’s never off key, he always hits the mark, and their songs are not easy to sing. But he’s always dead bang on in everything.
Couldn't agree more 💯💯💯
Absolutely
Yes, and so young when this song came out.
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts
Justin Hayward
One of the best love songs ever! Emotions pure.
Amazing how this song is about 50 years old, it sure seem timeless.
It's alright there's lots of good music besides this....
@@rosemarygarcia3437 this is a despacito free zone
Indeed...Immortal....
CROVAN 87546 THE SANDRINGHAM Idk how you can consider yourself a big music fan if you’ve never gone hunting for it. There’s an insane amount of music being made, with more eclectic styles than ever before.
One of my favorite songs
Never heard this song till now.
This hits different 🔥 I’m young but appreciation for good music has no age or generation. It’s what makes these songs truly timeless classics ❤️
Ah man, there's a lot out there that you will really feel... white rabbit is another good one, tons around this era. Zeppelin, Stones, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green. It goes on
Man the music today just can't compete with the music from the 50's,60's,70's,80's,and the 90's. What a beautiful song.
Poetry from all times can touch heart and lift my soul. This does
Dude fr !!! The music now these days is just trash it's very rare to find a good song .These songs from the 50's- 90's ERs are just soul and gut wrenching with feel 💞💞nothing can top it !!
@Chrysaura Triggered Alert . Calm down cupcake don't take it so personal.
Nah, they still make great music today, you just have to step outside the mainstream produced-for-mass-consumption scene. And they made unimaginative junk back in the "good old days" too. It's just that the bad music from those eras didn't survive the test of time: nobody's playing it anymore, because unlike the "classics", most music is just a temporary fad. I'm not sure who coined this phrase first, but "90% of everything is shit". It's true today, it was true in the 90's (perhaps you repressed the memories of the euro dance music, house, new beat/acid, boy bands, child singers, etc...), it was true in the 80's, 70's, 60's, and probably goes back all the way to the dawn of man... Ignore that 90%; you want to be looking for the 10%.
@@EvenTheDogAgrees how would u know . I bet you are like 18 yrs old .
What a magical time the 60s, 70s, and 80s were!
I know, I was 18 when this song came out! Our generation had and will ALWAYS have the best music… EVER!!!!
Beautiful ❤
Man this song just rips an entire hole through my chest… so frcking sad
It also makes me wanna yell at a blond Italian
🤗
Bruh
Benjamin.
how dare you
I was in my early 20s and living in England when this was released. Still one of the great songs from that classic era. As good today as it was then. Along with 'A whiter shade of pale' by Procol Harum.
Nice to see a younger generation discovering these songs which bring back so many memories for my generation.
This song is better than shade of pale but the keys r nice2pale that's only thing words here blow pale ways away just my opinion best of health no matter the differences we all may encounter upon !
What an awesome song after all these years, I just turned 70 and this song is priceless, so well done, the lyrics and the instrumental part, you rock Moody Blues!!
What a classic! I remember my dad playing this at home. What a masterpiece of a song! ❤
This song will live on as long as there are music lovers in the world
Indeed!! That's very comforting. Thanks.
It never fails...the beauty of this song brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it...

One of the most beautiful songs ever, haunting.
Indeed....A greeting from Italy
Yes one of the most beautiful songs ever. It is one song that really speaks to my heart
Peter S. Oh to be loved like this. Maxine(barb) smart(sometimes). Ty.
Well if u like dis song ya gotta listen to "in this shirt" by "the irresistibles"
So many great memories of this song
I've loved this song since I was young. My parents raised me on oldies stations and classical music. Something about this song always moves me so deeply, I cry without fail every time I hear it. My first love, and my first long term relationship, I told him I wanted this to be our song, and he agreed. He sadly showed me he was undeserving of such pure beauty, so hopefully someday I'll meet someone truly worthy of sharing this song with. As others have said, I love this song so much I want it played at my funeral. It's a truly timeless masterpiece.
when I was a child every time I heard this song I imagined a Knight dressed in white satin mounted on a horse. One of my favorite songs.
I thought Knights too... ;)
@@free322001I still do
Wow me too!! Great minds think alike.
When he Sings "oh how I love you"
I picture a motel room lit in a Deep Blue as a Needle sits in the vains pumping Blood to A Broken Heart.
@@glowinggold9488 except that it's nights, in white satin sheets.
This song gives me the most intense feeling of sadness and longing I’ve ever felt in my life ❤️😭😞
Yes.
Roller Girl true love lives in you Roller Girl 🌹🍀👍🥂♓️♊️🌃🏴
Sadness is great and soothing!.
I want someone to love me with such passion
Do you want me to love you? I can
We need a comeback of oldies.... Real music that stirs the soul. Real musicians, beautiful words and feeling in their deliverance. Today is lacking, and I'm very grateful to be almost 56 years old and was born in the sixties when music was real. Bring back real. 😍
I’ll be 56 this year & I’m so glad I grew up with beautiful music ❤️👍
I hear you. One can find a lot of this energy still, in artists like Sam Garrett, Xavier Rudd, and others. It’s coming back...
I agree, music isn't the same.
Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles is just as good as this
I’m jealous of you.. I am 14 years old and I wish I was born when this music was popular!
Probably the greatest vocal performance in rock and pop music.. thank you Justin.
Sends chills up and down my spin ,every time i listen to it ,what a masterpiece of music ,this is what music is !!!!
Same here.....
im not from this generation period when this song was released... but i love it, my mum showed me this when i was a kid.,.. to this day i still tear up and smile when i hear it. its now a dedication to my mother who passed away 2006, this is her song from me.
The prince of the air always had a talent for music, ashamed he betrayed God. The music in Heaven will be much better than the works of Satan.
This song hits so hard at 4 am with only your thoughts and everything you’ve lost
i can relate to this comment so freaking much.
Preach
My thoughts exactly 💯 %,when we were blessed but never new,we cry for ourselves now selfishly for what we have lost. Really we were and are the lucky ones having such loves in our life!
Cry fest for sure rn
Man, the way he wails I love you gives me chills and on a sensitive day my eyes well up with tears. I love this song! 😊
I was lucky enough to have seen them 10 times in concert. It was always an experience! Timeless!
It’s the most beautiful song they ever did
It's one of the most beautiful songs of all time ❤️
This one and Ride my see saw
This is the most beautifully haunting song ever.
But are there more beautiful songs or more haunting songs?
I agree with you 100%. Do you remember Procol Harum's tune "Whiter Shade Of Pale"? It has something hauntingly beautiful too...just to name one. I don't think we will ever hear music like this anymore😕.
@@sobroed “Whiter Shade Of Pale” is another favorite of mine. Sonic Youth’s version of “Superstar” is also up there with beautiful haunting songs.
It’s a bit more hauntingly beautiful in my opinion but you’re right
Sound of silence by disturbed ....give that a try x
Almost 50 years later and this song still brings tears to my eyes.
Heard this for the first time 50 years ago and it’s still good today as then. Moody Blues Rock it.
I used to listen to this when I was 18 thinking about my first love! 😭 I look back & laugh at my dramatic ness but he was the first guy to crack my heart open & I loved him deeply
I was born years after this song was made and it is one of the most beautiful creations I've ever beheld.
You were drunk when you typed that.
When I heard this song many many yrs ago in my teens my step dad put it on in the car and said wait till you hear this song..I said what the hell are you listening to that's not music ...as I got older I'll eat my words this is what you call music they don't make music like this anymore. ..powerful music....
The most beautiful piece of music ever conceived of man.... my heart drowns within its masterful lyrics and angelic tones of colour & voice ❤️
Amen!
There are SO many beautiful songs, but this one is absolutely EPIC in every way.
@@Galen-864 your right im 74 and saw them live when they did go now, im a rocker and love classic rock but latetly ive discovered some other beautiful music like arias from opera from puccini, verdi, mascagni and their beautiful music like this.
This was one of my Moms favorite songs. It's been 5 years and I still cry every time I hear it...
Me too..my mum passed away in 2019🎉🎉🎉🎉
Im listening to this song now and the other day, my mother told me she gave birth to me listening to this song playing in the background at the hospital. I feel like it was in a way destined to be this song out of any other. It just touches my soul.
I call bs!!- no radios playing in hospitals- people so desperately seeking attention with lies
@@EddieErion929 Lots of people play their own music during delivery. My mom was born to Here Comes the Sun.
This song is one of those majestic moments in rock n roll that should never be forgotten.
This song breaks my heart into a million pieces and mends it at the very same time. This is the epitome of music right here.
me too
That is a great way to describe wat I feel wen I listen to this song !!!
Always made me think( how sad it was never knowing I am in this way of life, talk about SHOCK WELL DAM STRAIGHT IM MIND BLOWN TOTALLY& NOT ONE WILL TELL ME ANYTHING WHY WHY????
❤
You have said it beautifully...A greeting from Italy
I lost my husband of 37 years in February. Oh, how I miss you, Tom! I know how this song feels.
My boyfriend just sent me this !!! Omg !!!! I love you Peter on another level !! ❤ 02 27 2023 !! 😘
I don’t even have words for how perfect this song is. If you’re here listening to it though, you already understand.
After years of heartache and pain I have finally found my soul mate. I never thought I could of found love like this. This song is as deep as the love I feel for him ❤ Absolutely beautiful ❤
I will never, ever tire of this; the lyrics of being in love with some one to the point of pain is just utterly heartbreaking .
I am totally addicted to the orchestrated ending. I keep running it back many times. The whole song is truly touching though. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Me too!
I kill this song in the shower all the time. Got my dogs howling the backup vocals. 😉
lol
haha! lol
love this 😂
you made me laugh, man)
Yeah... Meaningful moments...
Man this song hits you hard right in the chest... brings so many memories out that I haven't thought about in forever. 10/10 song.
Back in the days when music was Art.
And when you were how old?
This music I grew up on and it means the same today as it did back in the day defending my country
@@hershalfleetwood124 Thank you for the love, care and support, it's a pleasure talking to you over here. Where are you from..
listening to this in quarantine at 1:06 am In the desert of Arizona 🖤...
Deff grateful for my parents for playing this type of music as a kid. This is music is strictly for the soul nothing else. It’s medicine for me.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs love songs ever specially this extended version 💜 love the Moody Blues
Words can't decribe this beautiful song.
The song was mentioned in a book, so had to look it up. I'm so happy I did. The lyrics and the music sinks deep into my soul; I absolutely love it.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
what book?
Great song. Never gets old.
mine too❤
@@suzieobrien4082 Never gets old. ❤ it.
I was in high school when this song was released. Quite a few of my classmates were big fans of The Moody Blues. Some years later I saw them in concert. But since then this song hardly comes on the radio. I listen to an oldies station which once played this song so often, now it doesn't come on at all. Two days ago I was in a store which plays 50s, 60s, 70s tunes. This song was playing when I entered, and I recognized it right away. Within seconds I was nearly fighting back tears. Some reading this may agree, others disagree. But music today can't compare to works of art and genius from my youth. What a shame, children growing up today will never know really good, sensual, emotional, profoud music like this. They will never know what it was like sitting in a park, riding the bus or going to the beach and hearing great songs like "Nights in White Satin".
Cannot agree more! Today music is such a rubbish. So glad my parents listened to this kind of music and passed it on. Greetings from a 35-years old woman from Zagreb, Croatia.
@@ONAaNEnekaDRUGA7 Well said, nice that you replied.
It's part of the dark shadows soundtrack
So true
So true
The frequency of this is truly transcendent ❤ You can feel his soul he meant every word 😭" I Love You"❤️
❤
I was a young pre-teen when this came out. Still my favorite love song of all time. I wooed my wife of 38 years with this song back in 1979. Simply the best and most beautiful song ever.
Listened to this a lot while mourning my grandmother, who died in March.
Now her memory as well as a *certain* *character* are forever in my thoughts whenever this comes on.
Love and miss you Gamma 💔💔💔
I heard the Moody Blues play this last night in Las Vegas. Fantastic concert! Justin Hayward and John Lodge are as great as ever. Seeing them again tonight, two more weeks at the Wynn!
i heard this song when i was 7 yrs old until now I'm 51 still love this song. nindot jud kaayo bisag dugay na. salamat moody blues...
now THIS is a real heartfelt masterpiece right here!!! I'm a 35 year old lady and my dad always played this kind of music when I was growing up, so he along with my mom really technically raised me on oldies. but I do also enjoy the 90's music that I also grew up listening to.
I was 15 years old when the love of my life dedicated and introduced this song. He passed away suddenly almost 20 years ago and tears fell down every time I listen this master piece 🎧🎼🎼🎼🎼❤💔
Great song. Sad sometime but still a great song.
The music to this beautiful song is so haunting it sends chills up my spine. They dont make music like this anymore!!
....And that's a fact....Greetings from Italy...Born 1957...We had the BEST music.Period
Certainly a masterpiece. Reminds me of my first love. Will never get old!!❤
This will be my wedding song when I get married ❤ This song is a literal masterpiece
Married yet?
My wedding song as well....
Same even though it won’t happen…to me not you
Yes, granted that if it wasn't for Dark Shadows I probably would have NEVER actually heard this song in it's entirety. I actually didn't know how haunting it is, and how much of it I can definitely relate to. I don't for one minute think that this is a kind of love song that is meant for a happily ever after. Instead I think it about knowing what real, true, honest, soul-mate kind of love is, and not having that love, for one reason or another. That my friends is a fate worse then death, and when I hear this song, it is exactly what I feel. All those times I wrote letters that aren't meant to be sent, but meant to be a sort of comfort that maybe they will realize these things without it. And when you see people in their happiness, they don't have a clue what that torture is. I may not be a child of the 60's, but I am not a modern robot void of emotion and truth.....
I think your exactly right about this song. I'm 42 and still trying to find anything at all remotely close to this.
This song was way before my time, but even as a child, I heard this somewhere and it hit me deep in my soul then.. The words are beautiful, I have loved someone with this intensity (and lost them) and it still evokes such strong emotions... I hope to love like this again some day, so I can play this song to them so they can hear/feel the beauty in it
Certainly i heard this masterpiece in the 70's and right now discover it seeing Dark Shadows! Really beautiful love song!
One of my all time favourite songs that I first heard in the 60s. A song that means so much to me from my past to my present, etched in my soul forever.
