If this is your first time listening to The Moody Blues, it doesn't take long to realize they're not your ordinary rock band.....their sound is majestic and classy, yet powerful and passionate!
Them and the Electric Light Orchestra, especially pre 1980
@@ELOfanatic I agree!!
I love Question :)
This live version is soul stirring, however the album version has spoken word poetry at the beginning and end of the song that truly makes it life changing.
I remember that there was spoken word in this song.
Absolutely. This version is great, but that spoken word part really puts it over the top. One of my favorites.
Poem is called Late Lament:
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day’s useless energy 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 and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
@@LadyGator1983 spoken word??
I was waiting for the spoken word portion, always powerful! You should also check out Wildest Dreams.
They first did this in 1967, this performance from ‘97 but he still sounds great today ☮️💜
Thanks I thought 1968
I was 6 when this was released, a favourite of my late father's (played base in a band) Love that younger generations get to listen to the good songs I grew up with.
"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"
The most beautiful part of the song. Love it.
He's singing the words "I love you" in an emotionally Broken forlorned Voice! The gentleman singing following a real happening in his life actually wrote this song when he was a teenager which makes it even more impressive as beautiful as it is!! Another great song of theirs called "Tuesday afternoon" should be listened to! A lot of their songs have that Faraway feeling making you really think!
And i loooove yoooue, yeeees i love yooou
I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's - 80's. They have had so many hit songs. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go Now", "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", "Your Wildest Dreams", "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock & Roll Band". But all of their music is great. Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once.
Days of future past-- iconic
👍. Me too. Absolutely love this group.
I was playing in a TOP 40 band back then in the 1960's and we could Cover almost anyone's songs but when this came out we just stood and looked at each other and shook our heads - there was no way we could cover this in our little 5 member band . These GUYS were Fantastic back then
Well, in all fairness they couldn't do it with their 5 member band either
Need to hear the studio version with the poem. This is good but can't compare to the original.
Though, unless someone had listened to the entire album, they won't 'get' the end with the bookend of "Late Lament" and the gong.
One of the most incredible bands, ever....
Try "The Story in Your Eyes" for another amazing song by them...
You need to hear the long version from the album with the lament at the end.
"Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room..."
"Days of Future Passed" is a masterpiece, the whole album is amazing.
It took a ridiculous amount of time before this mega-talented group was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. 2018! to be exact! They are all- time greats!
R N R hall of fame is a joke. Once they inducted Madonna, i quit paying attention to it.
@@cesarnarro6013 Like her or not she was a trail blazer and could be the hottest female name in a good part of the 1980's
@@clydeb7713 wouldn't have a problem with her being in it if it was called popular or music hall of fame
Nights in White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon are great stand alone songs from the Days of Future Past album. But they can only be fully appreciated by listening to the whole album from beginning to end. This early "concept album" was released less than 6 months after The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and was not a huge hit at first but kept gaining new fans for decades. It was said back then and is still true today- You dont listen to the Moody Blues- you experience them.
Listening to the long version of the song with the spoken-word poem entitled 'Late Lament' written by the drummer Graeme Edge and recited by keyboardist Mike Pinder is worth the wait, which adds to the song substantially.
i went to a concert back in the day wearing my bell bottoms and a tie die t .
i was out in the field , and when they started to play this , everything stopped on a dime and the whole arena started to sway and sing the song . never saw anything like it before or since . i mean it was maybe 2 notes in and everyone just knew what it was .
i did want to suggest "the voice" . it's one of those songs that you know from somewhere but didn't know it was this song .
i think you'll like it .
"Days of Future Past", is one of my favorite albums. This song holds the record for the longest song played on popular radio. Each song on the album is a symphonic movement of each part of a day. "Tuesday Afternoon" is another blockbuster.
When I was a young girl my sister and I would sleep with the radio playing. This was playing on a night someone broke in. A book self in hall saved our life because he hit his gun on it and it went off. We woke up to screaming and smoke, and gunpowder, and this song. I have it on my playlist, which may be creepy to some, but it keeps me humble, and reminds me that when u go to bed at night, ur not guaranteed the next day. One of my favs. Thank you peace ✌️
Amazing story thank God for moody blues and that shelf in the hall way. Did your family know the intruder .
@@kathykobell7629 no we didn’t know them. Found out there were 2. Unfortunately it didn’t stop there. They ran out when gun went off and dropped the gun. Obviously the police took it as evidence. They continued to harass us to give gun back. My Dad got a hand gun because we felt threatened. A few months later they broke in again when my mom was there alone. If she didn’t have that gun there she would have been killed. She just started shooting and they ran back out. The police never caught them, my mom was always scarred by this until the day she died. Thank you for asking. Moody Blues reminds me if I wasn’t here, neither would my husband, my kids, or my grandkid’s. Everyone is important in the puzzle of life.
It wouldn't let me finish your story. I was trying to read more ... I hope your ok know what a crazy story . Your poor mother!! I can't even imagine going thru that im 60yr old lady with 6 grandkids 2 daughters live in Texas. Sorry for the loss of your mother. Blessing in 2022
@@kathykobell7629 thank you! I’m more than ok. I’m ur age, and thankful everyday I was here to raise my children and see my grandkids grow up. I live in Tennessee, but at the time all this happened we were living in Dallas Tx. So funny. Still love Texas as much as Moody Blues! Lol! Blessings to u also!
@@ugaais Exactly!! Big supporter of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights!! Lifetime member of the NRA...and proud to be a patriotic American!! ❤️🇺🇸💝
The album from which this was released in 1967's "The Days of Future Passed" which is a concept album released by the Moody Blues in conjunction with the London Festival Orchestra (the "house" orchestra for Decca Records". The concept was to musically divide up one day in the life of an ordinary man. It was a smash and one of the earliest prog rock success stories. It is beautiful as it is timeless.
The singer wrote this song when he was 19 years old. A couple of other Moody Blues' songs you might like are, "Question", and "The Voice".
Omg….one of my favorite songs EVER! My High School was the Johnson High Knights…and the ladies at school were the Knights in White Satin…..!!!
I was fortunate enough to see them in concert. Pine Knob, row 15/center. Blissful delight
Moody Blue's "Days of Future Past" is the 2nd best them album, just behind "The Wall". Great song.
One of a handful of songs that charted twice. First in 1968as a minor hit and then a major hit in 1972.
Wow , This is the first time i've ever had goose bumps on my legs !! These guys are from the sixties , The Moody Blues and Pink Floyd were my favorite bands when i was younger !! This Way Awesome Y'all
Goosebumps everytime I hear this song!!!
Even moreso when watching others experience this music for the first time!!!
Love your reactions...keep them coming!!!
I hope you'll go back now and watch the original video, they were so young then! And its *still* my favorite version. Beautiful song.
My favorite song of all time. I got to see them twice. 25 years ago and just a few years ago for the Days of Future Passed album 50 year anniversary concert. It made me cry. It's amazing they can sound like this IN CONCERT! RIP Ray Thomas & Graeme Edge.
I wish I could explain to you how this song warms my heart and brings back wonderful memories of my childhood in the 60's. At the end of the studio version Vincent Price a actor who was known for his haunting voice speaks a dialogue. Worth listening too! God bless you both. Love your reaction video's. It's more fun watching with someone else. God has blessed you both with a gift. ❤🙏
I always thought they had a medieval quality to their sound. The long version of Tuesday Afternoon is a must. You'll thank me.
Yes, I can't help but think of the olde British minstrel music and King Arthur. So much atmosphere.
The London Symphony Orchestra play with them on the album.
You both gotta listen to the whole album in order, it's an epic
London Festival Orchestra…
Alrighty then
Yes - an orchestra of session musicians put together for this album. Still good.
His voice is so haunting with this song👍
Haha I’m here first THIS IS A GREAT TUNE!!! You guys are awesome SAYS OF FUTURE PAST 1968 I think
Blessed to have been born in 1961 and hearing this amazing music from 1967 thanks to my mum and dads great taste in music. The spoken-word section many have mentioned is the 'Late Lament' ... a poem written by the drummer, which I believe is only heard on the album.
I was not born when this was written, but most of my life I have acknowledged it as one of the greatest love songs ever.
This performance was great, but the original recording is flawless.
Bravo on an excellent reaction video. You have found yourself a phenomenal rabbit hole to go down with the Moody Blues!!! I grew up going to Moody Blues concerts in my teens. Their concerts always blew you away. Their studio work was just as powerful. Nothing like kicking back in a comfortable chair with your headphones on, a beer, a bowl, and the Moody Blues on the turntable. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. Keep up the great work you two!!!
Justin Hayward, the singer and composer of this song is one of a kind really. His voice is still as beautiful as it was in 1967 when this song was released. He is 75 and still performing. The Moody Blues were one of the greatest British bands which started in the sixties.
One of the best songs EVER!!! 😘❤️
The group formed in 1964 ……. This song was played in 1967 with the London Symphony Orchestra !!!! BEAUTIFUL!!😘
One of my mom's favorite songs of all time, props to whoever requested this. Not the version I'm used to, but always beautiful. Great choice and reaction, you two. In my generation, the only rock band that blended really well with an orchestra was Smashing Pumpkins
the story is that the lead singer (Justin Haywood), in high school, had a crush on a popular girl, but could not tell her. He would write her letters at night but never give them to her. Hence the lyrics in the song. A close friend of his knew about this. Years later, when this group became very famous, that friend met that girl and told her that this song was about her. She went out and found the singer and today they have been married for many years. Kind of a fun adjunct to this music! I wonder if she ever got to read those letters. They must have been quite romantic considering his ability to write great lyrics. On the album “Days of Future Past,” this song at the end includes a poem by Graeme Edge (the drummer). "Late Lament"
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day’s useless energy 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 and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
i have been to rock concerts and country concerts but nothing compares to being in the room with a symphony orchestra. you feel the vibration of the strings and the brass.
The first ROCK OPERA ALBUM EVEN BEFORE TOMMY BY THE WHO
Not really.
My generation were so lucky. I was 15 in 1970 and this was one of the songs of our teens.
Original studio recording is backup singer profection plus poetry..Thank-you for this classic haunting melody..
Thanks for listening
Some day listen to the full
Length version, has some poetry. Also try Tuesday Morning, My See Saw, and more. They are fabulous
Please check out the long version with The Late Lament. Goosebumps and maybe a tear or two as well.
Please watch the video of this, with the extra poetry at the end. It is other-worldly.
following from the end of original album . Spoken as a poem.
"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 suckles 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"
The ultimate coda.
"Just what you want to be, you will be in the end..." Those lyrics always stuck with me and still do, each and every time Iisten to this song. Hope, loss, love, all in the same song.
I have had 50 plus years of goose bumps from this band!!!!! Great reaction, thank you guys, thumbs up!.... yep and Amen.
I just happened to turn on the TV and a music special was coming on, and on the screen it said "The Moody Blues, 20 Years Later", well, I wasn't about to turn the channel, so I watched in total aw of how this band played and sounded vocally, I watched the whole thing, I believed I had it recorded at one time. "Days Of Future Past" is really a great album. There's a song in this concert that is sung by the flutist of this group, it's called "For My Lady", it's a beautiful song, you might appreciate it. Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!
I always like this video, it's a great performance obviously, but I see Justin Hayward there in the dark at the end, reacting to the orchestra. and I think, what a wonderful feeling that must have been. Knowing he wrote this, it was a massive hit, it's still loved 25 years later (this concert was in 92), and here he is in the middle of it. I don't know, it's just a silly thing and maybe I'm imagining it. Maybe he's just thinking, thank god that's over for another night.
I like to think it's my version, though.
You have so much to choose from, older orchestral songs, rock songs, usually with those great harmonies. Justin is one of the main songwriters, along with John Lodge (he was on the right in black), but all the band members wrote. I had the pleasure of seeing John Lodge in a solo concert a couple of years ago. The Voice, Gemini Dream, I Know You're Out There Somewhere, Veteran Cosmic Rocker, Survival, Nervous, Deep. Just some of my favourites!
Lovely thoughtful reaction.
This song was a staple of late night radio back on the day. I used to go to sleep with my little AM radio playing and sometimes would fall off to sleep with with this playing. It had a real dreamlike quality to it and I formed an image in my mind of the song long before music videos. Same with Don Mclean's Starry Night.
A formidable legend of legends band that started with pre progressive rock into something totally unique and special. Here are some of their emotionally reaching tunes; Tuesday Afternoon, Never Comes The Day, Question,I know you’re Out There,,You’re Wildest Dreams, and so much more!
........."breath deep the gathering gloom "
This is the beginning of the poem at the end of this incredible awesome song! You need to listen to this song with the extended version. 🙂
Asia…dead on. The words and the music reflect the emotions. He wrote this when much younger and composed it. You don’t see that today. We got a watch people not be able to play instruments and just grind on things. Lol. It’s a big difference.
They have a huge library of songs. They can rock, they play with symphonies, they can do slow songs, deep thinking songs, songs like Yes and Pink Floyd. They’re concerts were another type of experience.
This is from one of the first concept album that represented a day with every song: morning, afternoon, evening, and the end of the day.
In this version, the orchestra plays at a slightly slower tempo than the one in the studio version, both in their intro and at the end. I'm used to the studio version, which flows better to my ears. This version is still pretty good, though. And, I believe Justin Hayward (the main singer) was a teenager when he wrote this.
You were viewing this song re-done, 30 years after the release, with the addition of a an full orchestra. The entire album of 1968 was a masterpiece of beauty and thought.
The problem with the live versions is that the poem at the end is missing because they do it at the beginning of the concert like they did at Red Rocks. "Breath deep the gathering gloom. Watch lights fade from every room....." So let me give you a heads up to do Procession/The Story In Your Eves". They can be found just like that on TH-cam. Procession is a great lead-in to The Story in Your Eyes and puts the Moody in Moody Blues. You will see.
One of Rock’s most beautiful songs
Their "Question", "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band" and "The Voice" are even better, next for you!!
Moody Blues "Candle of life" and "in your wildest dreams" ❤️🙏 (you'll love both songs. Trust me) (original videos with studio versions)
Moody Blues quality, power, and influence were right on par with The Beatles in my opinion. "Tuesday Afternoon" by this band is a must listen too.
Yeah but they are way better than the Beatles And I think they were better at their instruments also
Beautiful Performance and Beautiful Reaction!! Thanks for this! Blessings & Happy New Year 2022!!
This was one of the favorites, back in the day, when we had real "dates" and had real "slow dancing." Everyone had 45 RPM's (records) of this song for our weekend "dance parties."
Yes, playing 45's on a Dansette record player. Life was simpler back in those days!
I just love you guys...so much fun...glad you like the music from back in the day...I was so lucky to grow up with all of that music. good to see younger people finally realizing how great the music from the earlier groups was.
He literally says it in the song..
A knight in white satin is a metaphor for a love letter, (the envelope being the white satin).
Listen to the album version with the spoken words to it. It will take you on a mind trip
A Monster Hit when it can out in my days 1967' changing peoples lives !!
And is still a big Hit on Classic Rock radio played everyday !
One of Classic Progs first great bands !1 : D
This song from Moody Blues is a masterpiece, it's eerie & haunting yet amazing
A great Brummie beat band the same as E L O. And the Moody Blues question from the same concert is great.All the best from England and a Brummie is a person from Brmingham England AKA BRUM.
I was 16 when I discovered the Moody Blues- 50+ years later and after seeing them 3 times in concert I'm still in awe of their talent. They were incredibly
talented, like so many English bands of the 60's and 70's.
The fathers of prog rock. This band is well worth a deep dive.
You oughta hear the original. The whole lp. Beyond trippy for the time. Maybe the first time anyone here in the US heard a mellotron.
Days of Futures Past........an EPIC album, start to finish with Nights In White Satin and the Ode. You have to listen to the entire album.....it starts off with songs of the day beginning and goes through the entire day ending in night. It is a true musical masterpiece!
The Moody Blues were one of those groups whose performances were better in the studio as opposed to live. There was just a lot more that could done with each song. Do yourself a favor and try to find the studio version and listen to the COMPLETE VERSION of this song. . . . .
Was lucky enough to see them live and this song brought me to tears….
This just one part of an overall great album. The greatest of the 'concept album' era.
The album, Days of Future Past is AN EVENT! You owe it to yourself to find the version without commercials and listen to the whole album. I PROMISE you, you’ll be glad you did. Best “cigar smoking” album of all time.
They were one of the absolute first to record in stereo. The studio thought their music would be an excellent choice to add an orchestra too. It is a perfect example of the sweeping new stereo format back in the day
when i was in band, wed be having a concert, and i would always feel so happy and proud when important parts would be played well by my band mates.. had very little to do with wanting to play something perfect, or looking impressive to anyone, or being impressed with anyones skill, but it had everything to do with getting those chills as asia says.. conveying that beauty and extasy that music can give people, the emotional response, the divine language is what i was looking for.. and when someone can feel it when its played, or play it through their instruments, or write the music for it to be played, its as if you care communicating with god himself, and feeling the higher power in people around you.. if only for a moment
Moody Blues started in 1964. They came to fame as a R&B rock band. They have a feel in their music as psychedelic. They broke up for a bit but got back together. They play'd till 2018. This was their number one huge hit in 1967. I know alot about them cause I seen them twice live. Oh and the band composed this.
Soooo happy yall did this song. It's been one of my favorites ever since the 70s when I was a kid and I love performing this song in karaoke.
Just got to love the Moody Blue's, beautiful reaction. Although they were contemporary's of the Beatles, Rolling Stones etc. having formed in the early 1960's, They were the first band to successfully combine classical music with rock music creating big unique atmospheric sound. l was lucky enough to see them in concert in the early 1970's when they toured extensively. l Have great respect for any band that can perform for fifty years.
Always brings tears. It's so beautiful. Their best song ever!
The studio track was written with the orchestra music to go with it all the way back in the late 60s even though they are a rock band.
It was fun watching you guys enjoy yourselves so much with this one. Thanks.
This band brings it..always has and always will...so happy to see you two enjoy it. Much respect and friendship. Keep on keeping on!
Great reaction to this one. You know why you get those Goosebumps asia? Cuz you are a musician and to a musician music is a feeling much more than just a sound. I love The Moody blues it's one of my favorite bands my mom used to play it when I was a kid and I grew up on it. You guys should check out more of their catalog.
Really need to play the official long version it is fantastic
Thx! Their first hit was “Go now.” A classic from 1962 (or so!)
This is a very cool song!! I was 9 when it came out. Just lovely!
The lament and longing in this song is haunting. Sounds like the soundtrack to an epic movie.
This was my fiancées favorite band. We spent many hours listening to them. Thank you.
Moody Blues with the London symphony Orchestra . Days of Future Past. Tuesday Afternoon. Timeless.
Vance Mccutchen I agree 100% Nights In White Satin has been my favorite song ever since the first time I heard it when my oldest brother bought the album in I believe 1974/5. In fact I came across your comment just after I watched this video, again for like the 100th time. 😁
Justin Hayward wrote this when he was still a teen back in 1966. Their debut album Days Of Future Past climaxed to this song on side 2, released the following year. Early mellotron replaced the orchestra in studio originals.
After all these years this is still one of my all time favorite songs. I think you'll love it too ❤️💞🔥
Saw them in concert: amazing. RIP Ray Thomas (on flute) and Graeme Edge (drums). Funny story: I was in choir as a kid and during the summer attended camp; the head of the camp used to give me demerits because I wouldn’t sing a Moody Blues song for him: I received a lot of the “phony” demerits that summer yet, more important, developed a love for the Moody Blues.
This song has always seemed Haunting to me. I have seen them a couple of times. They are Better now than when I first saw them in the '60s.
