Yes, the greatest group. However I don’t think they really cared about being in the Hall of Fame. This is an American thing and the rest of the world does not care.
Always use to think this was *_"Knights in White Satin"_* you know a noble quest borne of love committed to protecting love, worth enduring & never reaching the end....
My dad bought this album he was 42 at the time I was 16 I stole his That was the specific outcome they went for. Mercury wanted to make a Stereophonic album as opposed to our regular Mono These LPs would be priced MUCH higher so they needed a "gimmick" for want of a better word, to be able to 1. Show the difference to justify cost 2. Appeal to a broad range with 1 LP 3. Utilize rock &roll with a symphony They invited Justin to put a few pieces together with some of his "mates". Original MBs had the hit Go Now but struggled for a way to use the meletron, electric flute, harp which the members played but did not have Justins writing chops He wrote this song that evolved into Tuesday Afternoon then the idea for a day in the life. I believe they almost lost it all because the symphony only had a short window But it happened and if I dare say we all are better for it Btw My dad bought a master which was $40 In late 1960s that was a small fortune. A Master was a first run direct studio recording The master was where the other albums were cast Sorry for the verbosity. I am almost 70 and my heart still leaps thru hoops for the Moody Blues
If you like that you have got to listen to the original version of that song with your headphones on and turn it up it's going to take you to another galaxy.
Not just that song, but the whole album. Each of their first 7 albums takes you on a journey. IMO, the best way to listen to any of their first 7 albums is uninterrupted, and with headphones, you won't regret it. I've seen 3 of their concerts (live, of course) and have been a fan for over 50 years.
Empress, this song is more than 50 years old and it is still phenomenal. If you get a chance please listen to the studio version and you will hear just how close this more recent live performance was to the original...these guys have been great for a long time.
The Rolling Stones used to visit the Moody Blues and trip out with them from time to time. I wish people would go back to showing their emotions in ways like this, than in the violence we see now. Peace!
The record label didn't want to do the album because they felt, "you can't dance to it". The lead singer replied, "but you can make love to it." Then suddenly they had a record deal.
I'm sorry and I really don't want to come across as a know-it-all but I watched and recorded a biography This is Your Life about the gift Justin felt the world gave him The album was such a fluke of good luck as well as one of the most amazing masterpieces The Moody Blues were given the opportunity by Decca Records to make the first stereophonic album EVER. It was the opportunity of a lifetime And it was made with the London Philharmonic because Decca wanted The magic quality of the stereophonic long playing record to be attractive to EVERYONE,both teens to golden agers. It was to be a SAMPLE record not necessarily for public consumption just something Decca could use with their investors to show what investing into this new stereophonic album genre could do . But then they played Nights in White Satin on the radio which took off like crazy along with Tuesday afternoon and The Moody Blues went from being a fly-by-night go now band to be most famous rock band next to the Beatles The Moody Blues were blown away when they heard it played on the Radio. They also needed to justify the cost of these new "STEREO" LPs As a matter of fact my dad was the first in our family to purchase it He bought a master for $25 which was pricey in 67 I stole the album before I left for college and then someone stole it from me😑😒😞 But your statement was more from American Bandstand than a record label You couldn't dance to Pink Floyd (CAPITOL) James Taylor (Apple), The Who (Decca) , The Guess Who (RCA), Iron Butterfly (Atlanta) ELO (EMI & Decca) and several more I should apologize I have Aspergers and can't move on till I either prove my point or apologize and hang my head in shame
Again, the biggest thrill is watching your facial expressions while you listen to some of the best music recorded. Joy, wondering, concern, sadness, sorrow, pain, happyness Everything that music should bring if you know how to listen,,,,,,,,, You’re an amazing person. Thank’s for inviting us 💝🇩🇰
I always cry when I hear that song...it's a piece of art and the sound of a soul crying in the night. It cannot be covered by another band because it's perfect as it is. No one but Justin Heyward can sing that song. I'm soo glad you liked it!
This is my number one favorite song. Perfect love song he wrote this at 19 when his girlfriend gave him satin bed sheets as a gift. This song is a love that never lasted because of the long distance. And his love for her never stopped.
according to my mother i came out the womb singing this song and i cant help myself fans will understand cold hearted orb that rules the night removing color from all sight ............ miss empress i must also say i find an amazing beauty aesthetically you are a gorgeous woman
Justin Hayward is so talented- songwriting, singing, a completely underrated guitarist and yes he is still singing and playing. The Moody Blues were such a phenomenal group, so underrated and in the late sixties and early seventies had seven incredible albums. “Days of Future Past” was released the same year as Sgt. Pepper and though a forever Beatle lover, I would take “Days” over “Pepper”. To Our Children’s Children’s Children “ dedicated to the moon landing in 1969, a true space album. John Lodge an incredible bass player and songwriter who would never appear on anyone’s list as a great player. Met them back stage in a greet a long time ago( 1999) - nice, polite, pleasant Englishmen.
Like you, everyone l hear this song l have tears and lm a 65 yr old male. I remember when the song first came out. Soo beautiful and looks of memories.
For me, this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. This song has the power to make feelings feel stronger. The original song with out orchestra was already perfect.
I have loved this band for several years. They are very, very good. A moving band. Several years ago I got to see them in Raleigh NC. One of the best concerts I have been to. Powerful. Hauntingly beautiful. EPIC!
I’m 66 and this has been my favorite band all my life. This is their best song and it’s known all over the world. The radio stations at first said it was too long to play but they forgot you can make love to it! 🥰
Thats was ecstatic. As you say truly, a MASTERPIECE, and so you know how we felt about the Moody Blues in the 60s. There was really nothing to compare it to. Music was so changed by the British influence from the Beatles and beyond. There was a lot of drugs like pot and acid and so on that helped break down the barriers of the old music and we poured forth with the best 30 years of musical art fusion in history. 70s were crowning. Theres still some flashes of brilliance today but nothing like the Romance that blazed out of the baby boomers. The return of WW2 soldiers after so long time away from wives and lovers caused the baby boomers to appear over the next 10 years. By 1960 the youth had begun to enter into their teens and by 70 the older ones were young adults and in their PRIME. We are still following the trails that were blazed back in those dayz...Lovely reaction Empress
Go down the rabbit hole with this group, so many great songs "Ride my see saw" "Tuesday afternoon" "Legend of a mind' "You and me" "Just a singer (in a rock and roll band)" "Gypsy" "Lazy day" "Dear diary" "Lovely to see you" "Dr. Livingstone i presume" "Om" "Out and in" "Beyond" "Floating" "The story in your eyes" "After you came" "Steppin in a slide zone" "Had to fall in love" "The voice" "Talking out of turn" "Sitting at the wheel" "Your wildest dreams" "I know your out there somewhere" "I bless the wings (that bring you back)" "English sunset" "All that is real is you" "Foolish love" "Sooner or later(walkin on air)" just a very few of their terrific songs
An angelic song that is almost 60 years old…very emotional for me getting to see this live in Atlanta, Georgia twice with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.You have a great heart,my dear…keep it up.You will break 100k soon.
Timeless!!! My wife and I fell in love with each other listening to Moody Blues songs like this over 50 years ago. True music speaks to your heart and soul - if you take the time to listen!
It's called a symphony orchestra the full version of this has a poem at the end. Moody Blues was known for the orchestra within their performance it was a real pleasure to watch and feel during a performance.
talent can never be replaced and i think that is why so many so called performers have to put on such a big show........thankyou for reacting to this song...much love and godbless.
Hi thx for the moody blues , I’m nearly 63 years old danish Viking , you brought back some memories from my school days , where each one of us , got to show the rest of the class , what music we loved , among them was Bee Gees , Doors , Beatles , Bob Dylan and my choice was Moody Blues , I admit I felt a little tear or two whit you , thx a lot for bringing up some good old memories from my childhood , your a beautiful lady who listen and feel whit your heart , keep up the good work dear and take good care of yourself.
This song takes me back to my first love. We were young, carefree and deeply in love. The song meant so very much to us. Sadly we went our separate ways, yet this song still bonds us together. Thank you for sharing your reaction. You get a very big 👍 from me.
I have always connected this song with Whiter Shade of Pale too! Ever since I was a kid. It's like the songs are spiritually connected somehow. The British Invasion!!!
You have such a beautiful face. Your reactions are so natural and honest. I really enjoy watching your reactions. Thank you! I remember when The Moody Blues were playing in the city I lived in. I was working at the theater at the time and had the opportunity to work the show. I helped unload the trucks and set up the stage and instruments. The stage manager knew that I was a fan and asked me if I wanted to stay back to watch the show. 😂 It didn't take a hot second for me to say, "Yes!!"! LOL! They sounded just as good as they did when they first became famous. Age may have mellowed their voices, but the power and the messages still rang strong. That will be a treasured memory that I will never forget. (that was such a cool job!) 😊 Thank you so much, Empress, for bringing that memory forward for me. (p.s., this song has often brought tears to my eyes... very emotional.) Cheers, from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Someone I knew was a drummer in a band going nowhere so he left and got an apprenticeship in a local factory. Eight months later that band were at no.1 with “Go now” yes, the Moody Blues, true story.
the moody blues are STILL touring in the states. i saw them live in Adelaide South Australia, what was surprising was the audience ranged from children to octogenarian. all loving the music.even though 2 of the old band members have retired. the sound is still the same.
He wrote this young, a girlfriend gave him satin sheets. It later became the best song of the Moody Blues...You have to see them in concert, the feelings, the vibes. They were voted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame recently. Nights in White Satin, Ride my See Saw, Tuesday Afternoon, I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. to name a few.
Hello Empress Joy-Jean, when a song enters your soul and brings you to tears, you connected to what the writer is saying. Never ever worry about your emotions about it, you never need to apologies to me or anyone. Because your tears are what is called RAW Emotion.
Young lady keep in mind this band started back in 1964. You will enjoy how much great music they have. EPIC!!! Is this song tender & sweet or what?? Just wait until the end. They continue to build it up & up. The ending may bring you to tears.... This is a LOVE song.
This is my mom's all-time favorite song, was always playing in our house. She finally got her wish a few years ago and was able to see Justin sing this live and she still talks about it. One of those songs I'll always remember :)
LOL!!! They did 6 more albums that are just as moving as this one, before they went through a personnel change. If you liked the way it made you feel, explore the rest of this album, Days of Future Passed, and then move on to In Search of the Lost Chord, On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, and Seventh Sojourn.
What a beautiful tune...the Blues were Iconic! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This song is at lest 45 years old. They created this iconic tune when they were in their mere 20’s...England produced the best music...ever!
When my husband was in the Air Force and got sent to a remote site for a year this song was the story of that time. We could only talk for 15 mins. once a month over a satellite phone "Just what I'm going through, they can't understand" Living alone with 2 children under 10 years old, and missing him so much, that cry of "Oh how I love you!" always reduces me to tears...
I really like your reaction; I'm over 70 and every time I react like you do: for me, this song is eternal: when I listen to it, I really feel like I'm somewhere else: yes, it's wonderful and you wish it would never end.
I heard this growing up and hadn’t heard it for years until it was on the Givenchy ad - when I listened to it for that first time in years I cried. Such a beautiful haunting song 😢
![[TH]FFWS SEA 2024 Fall - Knockout Stage Day 5](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/N2tl9xkQyyU/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the greatest, yet often underrated bands of all time. Took decades, but they were finally admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
@Luuk Hulsman Agreed!!!!
Yes, the greatest group.
However I don’t think they really cared about being in the Hall of Fame.
This is an American thing and the rest of the world does not care.
@@BP-kx2ig Maybe so, but I cared.
@@cherylsyoutubies Cheryl - great that you did care. I am pleased that there are other Moody Blues fans out there
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a joke, and they don't deserve to have a group of this quality in it.
Don't ever be sorry when you have a pure reaction to music. Crying means that the music has touched you.
But sneezing? lol
That's for sure. I've found myself crying almost every time I've heard it in concert and that's a lot.
This song busts me up when I haven't heard it for a while.
When musicians sang about love and not hooking up. They did it with talent not gimmicks too.
incisive comment..
Been listening to this for over 30 yrs and I still get goose bumps. 🤩
Always use to think this was *_"Knights in White Satin"_* you know a noble quest borne of love committed to protecting love, worth enduring & never reaching the end....
This is simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Just one of the best songs ever written and performed. A timeless classic.
Ever!!
My dad bought this album he was 42 at the time
I was 16
I stole his
That was the specific outcome they went for.
Mercury wanted to make a Stereophonic album as opposed to our regular Mono
These LPs would be priced MUCH higher so they needed a "gimmick" for want of a better word, to be able to
1. Show the difference to justify cost
2. Appeal to a broad range with 1 LP
3. Utilize rock &roll with a symphony
They invited Justin to put a few pieces together with some of his "mates". Original MBs had the hit Go Now but struggled for a way to use the meletron, electric flute, harp which the members played but did not have Justins writing chops
He wrote this song that evolved into Tuesday Afternoon then the idea for a day in the life. I believe they almost lost it all because the symphony only had a short window
But it happened and if I dare say we all are better for it
Btw
My dad bought a master which was $40
In late 1960s that was a small fortune.
A Master was a first run direct studio recording
The master was where the other albums were cast
Sorry for the verbosity. I am almost 70 and my heart still leaps thru hoops for the Moody Blues
If you like that you have got to listen to the original version of that song with your headphones on and turn it up it's going to take you to another galaxy.
That's what I said, I like this version and these guys are killing it for their age, but the younger version of them doing this song kills!!
Agreed!
@@kimberlinibambini1988 you are very much on point.
Not just that song, but the whole album. Each of their first 7 albums takes you on a journey. IMO, the best way to listen to any of their first 7 albums is uninterrupted, and with headphones, you won't regret it. I've seen 3 of their concerts (live, of course) and have been a fan for over 50 years.
Please watch the original, such a beautiful man band and music, very moving. This version is good but the original is much better
His voice sure has stayed on point over the years.
Empress, this song is more than 50 years old and it is still phenomenal. If you get a chance please listen to the studio version and you will hear just how close this more recent live performance was to the original...these guys have been great for a long time.
This version is shit compared to the recorded version.
The studio version is magic.
This is just ok.
Actually, should listen to the whole album, since all the songs go together!
The Rolling Stones used to visit the Moody Blues and trip out with them from time to time. I wish people would go back to showing their emotions in ways like this, than in the violence we see now.
Peace!
I say it every time someone reacts to this song, the only way I’ve ever been able to describe this song is absolutely hauntingly beautiful 🤩💗💗💗
The record label didn't want to do the album because they felt, "you can't dance to it". The lead singer replied, "but you can make love to it." Then suddenly they had a record deal.
I'm sorry and I really don't want to come across as a know-it-all but I watched and recorded a biography This is Your Life about the gift Justin felt the world gave him
The album was such a fluke of good luck as well as one of the most amazing masterpieces
The Moody Blues were given the opportunity by Decca Records to make the first stereophonic album EVER. It was the opportunity of a lifetime And it was made with the London Philharmonic because Decca wanted The magic quality of the stereophonic long playing record to be attractive to EVERYONE,both teens to golden agers.
It was to be a SAMPLE record not necessarily for public consumption just something Decca could use with their investors to show what investing into this new stereophonic album genre could do . But then they played Nights in White Satin on the radio which took off like crazy along with Tuesday afternoon and The Moody Blues went from being a fly-by-night go now band to be most famous rock band next to the Beatles The Moody Blues were blown away when they heard it played on the Radio.
They also needed to justify the cost of these new "STEREO" LPs
As a matter of fact my dad was the first in our family to purchase it
He bought a master for $25 which was pricey in 67
I stole the album before I left for college and then someone stole it from me😑😒😞
But your statement was more from American Bandstand than a record label
You couldn't dance to Pink Floyd (CAPITOL) James Taylor (Apple), The Who (Decca) , The Guess Who (RCA), Iron Butterfly (Atlanta) ELO (EMI & Decca) and several more
I should apologize
I have Aspergers and can't move on till I either prove my point or apologize and hang my head in shame
Your listening to what I've heard my whole life. I hope you enjoyed it.
You're.
Justin's VOICE is AMAZING !! I have loved The Moody Blues since first hearing them in my early teen years !! 👍💜🎶☮️
Again, the biggest thrill is watching your facial expressions while you listen to some of the best music recorded.
Joy, wondering, concern, sadness, sorrow, pain, happyness
Everything that music should bring if you know how to listen,,,,,,,,,
You’re an amazing person. Thank’s for inviting us 💝🇩🇰
You just transported me back to high school in 1967. Their music was so haunting and beautiful. Thank you Empress!!

I almost left my body one time seeing the Moodies perform this song in concert. So I know how you feel.
I was blessed to see them live with an orchestra myself. One of my favorite concerts ever.
Some songs are just that...songs.....but songs like this one...shake you to the core.
Empress, you have the face of an angel and the most expressive eyes that make men want to know what you're thinking. What you're feeling.
Easy player 😆
@@travissimons3196 No! We have to know! We have to know! LOL
do not avoid emotions because you are not only beautiful but sensitive and you have something of an angel
I've heard this tune 1,000 times minimum ... it still gives me goosebumps/chills.
i really envy people who get to hear classics like this for the first time ! great natural reactions btw
Same
I like to see the reactions, but I don't envy today's generations as far as the mostly crap being put out by the music industry.
That's been my favorite song too my dad all my life. He is in a good place now RIP pops I Love You. 🙏😢
I love watching your facial expressions. You have soul and honesty. Life will be good to you.....
I could watch your reaction all day! You feel the passion and the power of music like no other reactor. And you live up to your name, Empress.
Yes it is a masterpiece Empress. 😊💕
Like you, everyone l hear this song l have tears and lm a 65 yr old male. I remember when the song first came out. Soo beautiful and looks of memories.
For me, this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. This song has the power to make feelings feel stronger. The original song with out orchestra was already perfect.
There are very few songs that make me cry, and this is one of them.
A timeless emotional classic.
I have loved this band for several years. They are very, very good. A moving band. Several years ago I got to see them in Raleigh NC. One of the best concerts I have been to. Powerful. Hauntingly beautiful. EPIC!
I truly feel sorry for anyone who has never been brought to tears by music.
You are the best expressive reactionary on YT. Genuine. Love your emotion.
My favorite band! They were this first rock band to incorporate a full orchestra in their music.
I’m 66 and this has been my favorite band all my life. This is their best song and it’s known all over the world. The radio stations at first said it was too long to play but they forgot you can make love to it! 🥰
Nights in White Satin and Whiter Shade of Pale were both released in 1967 just the tip of the iceberg of great music from that glorious year.
You need to listen to the long version which contains the beautiful poem at the end called: 'Late Lament' it adds so much to the song.
Beautiful song. The orchestra was amazing.
This made you cry! Jeremy was like Bobby Hatfield, from the Righteous Brothers. Every time either of them opened his mouth, women would melt.

A beautiful song for a beautiful woman !!!! thank you for choosing this track .. makes me feel quite emotional.. xxx
Wow I have worked in your country.. brilliant..
Go down the rabbit hole with this group, so many great songs "Ride my see saw" "Tuesday afternoon" "Legend of a mind' "You and me" "Just a singer (in a rock and roll band)" "Gypsy" "Lazy day" "Dear diary" "Lovely to see you" "Dr. Livingstone i presume" "Om" "Out and in" "Beyond" "Floating" "The story in your eyes" "After you came" "Steppin in a slide zone" "Had to fall in love" "The voice" "Talking out of turn" "Sitting at the wheel" "Your wildest dreams" "I know your out there somewhere" "I bless the wings (that bring you back)" "English sunset" "All that is real is you" "Foolish love" "Sooner or later(walkin on air)" just a very few of their terrific songs
An angelic song that is almost 60 years old…very emotional for me getting to see this live in Atlanta, Georgia twice with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.You have a great heart,my dear…keep it up.You will break 100k soon.
Beautiful reaction
Hauntingly beautiful song from my teen years. Great memories. Thank you for reacting.
So glad I was born when I was, in '57.
I got to listen to the very best as they were coming out, brand new.
It was a magical time...
Same here!
I get it!! When I was 13 I heard this song for the first time and I cried like a baby!!! The music is beautiful and moving!!
Timeless!!! My wife and I fell in love with each other listening to Moody Blues songs like this over 50 years ago. True music speaks to your heart and soul - if you take the time to listen!
It's called a symphony orchestra the full version of this has a poem at the end. Moody Blues was known for the orchestra within their performance it was a real pleasure to watch and feel during a performance.
When you stared into the camera that was some of the purest most beautiful emotion I've ever experienced. Beautiful soul.
talent can never be replaced and i think that is why so many so called performers have to put on such a big show........thankyou for reacting to this song...much love and godbless.
I saw them live in concert in 1972. One of the best concerts.
Hi thx for the moody blues , I’m nearly 63 years old danish Viking , you brought back some memories from my school days , where each one of us , got to show the rest of the class , what music we loved , among them was Bee Gees , Doors , Beatles , Bob Dylan and my choice was Moody Blues , I admit I felt a little tear or two whit you , thx a lot for bringing up some good old memories from my childhood , your a beautiful lady who listen and feel whit your heart , keep up the good work dear and take good care of yourself.
Thank you for reacting and sharing yourself to an amazing band and bringing a song back from the past.
The most beautiful and haunting Ballard of all time, the 70s greatest ❤️ ♥️ 💙
Lovely reaction. Thanks for watching that performance
Your empathy is expressed so clearly as you listen. Your soft heart keeps you going ❤❤❤
This song takes me back to my first love. We were young, carefree and deeply in love. The song meant so very much to us. Sadly we went our separate ways, yet this song still bonds us together. Thank you for sharing your reaction. You get a very big 👍 from me.
I have always connected this song with Whiter Shade of Pale too! Ever since I was a kid. It's like the songs are spiritually connected somehow. The British Invasion!!!
Me too! I thought it was just me because there's no "logical" reason for connecting the two...but I just always have 🤔
One of the most beautiful songs about love ever created....imo
You are a great emotional woman, you're just great.
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song by a beautiful person.
You have such a beautiful face. Your reactions are so natural and honest. I really enjoy watching your reactions.
Thank you!
I remember when The Moody Blues were playing in the city I lived in. I was working at the theater at the time and had the opportunity to work the show. I helped unload the trucks and set up the stage and instruments. The stage manager knew that I was a fan and asked me if I wanted to stay back to watch the show. 😂 It didn't take a hot second for me to say, "Yes!!"! LOL!
They sounded just as good as they did when they first became famous. Age may have mellowed their voices, but the power and the messages still rang strong.
That will be a treasured memory that I will never forget.
(that was such a cool job!) 😊
Thank you so much, Empress, for bringing that memory forward for me.
(p.s., this song has often brought tears to my eyes... very emotional.)
Cheers, from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Someone I knew was a drummer in a band going nowhere so he left and got an apprenticeship in a local factory. Eight months later that band were at no.1 with “Go now” yes, the Moody Blues, true story.
They just don’t write or preform music like this anymore, a true classic ❤❤❤
Never be sorry for showing your emotions, your reactions are genuine and touching,
don't change that...
One of the most Epic love songs of mankind!!! Bravo to your emotional reactions
the moody blues are STILL touring in the states. i saw them live in Adelaide South Australia, what was surprising was the audience ranged from children to octogenarian. all loving the music.even though 2 of the old band members have retired. the sound is still the same.

That's was great. Your reaction was epic.
And Justin wrote this as a love song for someone... who didn't know... and they eventually got together and are still married.
He is still performing this solo in concert, 50 years later.
Such a time less love ballad from an old favorite band of mine. It is a heart felt song that will never grow old.
This is a very old song. They recorded it when he was around 20. All their stuff is timeless. Thanks.
Hello Empress Joy-Jean, when a song enters your soul and brings you to tears, you connected to what the writer is saying. Never ever worry about your emotions about it, you never need to apologies to me or anyone. Because your tears are what is called RAW Emotion.

i was 18 in 1975 and heard this song on the radio, no video no internet, was a hit then, and still a hit in 2023
Hey girl don`t cry!!! It just means you really feel the music.......stunning band the moody blues from my home town....
That a good thing to do to see it great live music great music
LOL!!! They did 6 more albums that are just as moving as this one, before they went through a personnel change. If you liked the way it made you feel, explore the rest of this album, Days of Future Passed, and then move on to In Search of the Lost Chord, On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, and Seventh Sojourn.
Major love for Seventh Sojourn.....Ray shines especially bright in that one.
What a beautiful tune...the Blues were Iconic! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This song is at lest 45 years old. They created this iconic tune when they were in their mere 20’s...England produced the best music...ever!
When my husband was in the Air Force and got sent to a remote site for a year this song was the story of that time. We could only talk for 15 mins. once a month over a satellite phone "Just what I'm going through, they can't understand" Living alone with 2 children under 10 years old, and missing him so much, that cry of "Oh how I love you!" always reduces me to tears...
I really like your reaction; I'm over 70 and every time I react like you do: for me, this song is eternal: when I listen to it, I really feel like I'm somewhere else: yes, it's wonderful and you wish it would never end.
Justin Hayward is in a class all by himself, truly one of Rocks greatest performers.
I'm with you. This song and band asking with the orchestra, brought tears to my eyes. It touches you.
THIS IS the magic of the Moody Blues
I was young and knights in white satin and stairway to heaven just blew me a way. We had music back in the day.
I saw the Moody Blues live many years ago. It was fantastic!
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FREQUENCY FOR THE SOUL.
I've been listening to this song for as long as I can remember and it still does that to me.
Great reaction Empress! You have to listen to more Moody Blues. Phenomenal band.
Even later in their years. They sound great. Enjoy them. They many other amazing songs
This girl never disappoints with her reactions ... That's called feeling the music., ❤️
Your reaction is the reaction that most have to this song. It resonates with the soul even all of these years later.
I heard this growing up and hadn’t heard it for years until it was on the Givenchy ad - when I listened to it for that first time in years I cried. Such a beautiful haunting song 😢
What a band...glad i was able to see them in the 80's
