All these senior band members have been together since 1964...The lead singer performing Justin Hayward joined the band in 1966.. This Song was released in 1967..they were part of the British invasion to the US in the 60's..The flutist and the drummer have passed away in the last couple years. Justin Hayward is now 77 years old and still performing. I am a bit older and still have all their songs on 45 RPM. One of my favorite groups.

Band member Justin Hayward (lead singer) wrote and composed the song at age 19 while touring in Belgium and titled the song after a girlfriend gave him a gift of satin bedsheets. The song itself was a tale of a yearning love from afar, which leads many aficionados to term it as a tale of unrequited love endured by Hayward.

What a lot of people that refused to listen to Rock and Roll back in the day didn't realize was that it wasn't just one kind of music, it was a freedom that artist had to do classical to hard rock. This is just as much Rock and Roll as Led Zepplin, or Black Sabbath. Rock and Roll included all expressions of the soul.

This is the poem that goes with Nights in White Satin at the end of the song. It's only on the album Days of Future Passed. I don't know why he didn't recite it at this concert. 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?

"Nights In White Satin" is their most famous song. Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. Lots of great songs such as "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "The Story In Your Eyes", "Question", "Ride My See-Saw", "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice" etc. All of their music is great! Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once. Sadly Ray Thomas their flute player & singer passed away in 2018 & their drummer Graeme Edge passed away in 2021.

I never thought I would need this brain cell again, but here goes; a flute is a wind instrument played by blowing air across a hole. I used to play. It's very akin to when you blow air across the top of a beer bottle to make a deeper, hollow whistle. Same thing, different shape beyond the opening makes a different sound. The pressing of the l'il buttons there opens different holes, changing the shape (and therefore sound). Etc...

The original was on they're album Days of Future Past , I recomend it so highly. As a heads up listen to the album Darkside of the Moon by Pink Floyd if you wish to become totally blown away , but you must react to the whole album , all the music runs into itself , so you can't just listen without hearing the whole storyline ... Interested to see your take on one of "modern" days masterpieces. Keep on producing man , plenty to chew on. 😂
