I saw them in person in 1967. I grew up with this music.

Epic Rock Classic from the 60’s!

Justin Hayward, the lead singer, was only 19 when he wrote this. I’m 70 and have been listening to them from the beginning. This is one of my all time favorite songs❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I’m 71 and loved them back when I was in high school. Thanks for your discovering them and bringing back some great memories for me.

Same. I'm 74.

I grew up on the Moody Blues ❤❤❤ They are considered one of the first progressive rock bands. Justin Haywards voice touches your soul! I did get to see them back in the 80's Great band!

Thank you very much why is your voice always so mellow

@@KingGreatnessKG the reason I asked about your voice is that's the reason I subscribed is because you got a mellowing soothing voice it's a compliment can you please do the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot it actually happened

brilliant

When exploring their catalog, to say it's a rabbit hole is short, it's more of an anthill. The album (Days of Future Past) that this song is the next to last cut, is an experience. Their flute player and Drummer have both passed in the last few years., and they've now been going for 70 years.

I grew up when The Moody Blues were new. They really stood out - different and vey compelling

"This song speaks for itself... I don't gotta say nothin' else." Exactly! I like your reaction style. You respect the music and don't say too much.... I just hit the 'Subscribe' button.

Now that you mention that he does have a slight yodel in his voice.

Thank you so much for mentioning the base line!

Thank you Rebecca 🎸

You should check out Procul Harem "Whiter Shade of Pale".

The best combination, IMHO, is rock& classical-orchestra music. Moody blues are not the only ones: ELO; Proco Haram (specifically Conquistador); Emerson, Lake & Palmer; early Genesis etc.

That yodle sound is actually a slight vibarto he adds.

I saw them live with a full orchestra, in the early 90's---- it was beyond incredible!!

This is the great music I grew up listening to

I am so glad that you are learning about the music of the 60s and 70s. More people need to be aware of such great music.

You should listen to whole studio album: Days of Future Past

Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge have passed away since the documentary video was released. But Justin and John are still performing though not as the Moody Blues anymore. A great legendary band

Justin wrote the song in 1 day. The title and the mood supposedly comes from his girl frind breaking up with him and gifting him with s set of white satin sheets. It is the final song from their album Days Of Future Past.They used a Metatron which gave the notes of an orchestral feel. But lightning was about to strike. The production company had hired and payed for an orchestra for a different project that fell through. Someone there came up with an idea. With the sound of The Moody Blues why not use the orchestra all ready paid for they took a risk to incorporate them on the album. History was made. His voice in this concert is only richer and more mature. But is basicity as much as it was so long ago. But the original full album is so much more. And really a must listen all in a single sitting. Yes it is a slight bit slow starting coming to a climax with Nights. But it is the story of the full day or is it of an entire life?

Here is the first live film of this song filmed in Paris, 1967 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ladotKlypZuvhrg.html

Sorry but this isn’t a live video. It’s lip sync, and a really bad one at that. (cringe) Do yer homework. MB’s deserve it.

similar vein but different. I hope you also check out Jethro Tull if you don't know them. Aqualung would be my recommendation

Thanks! Adding!

Every black person I’ve seen doing this says it’s just like a movie but really it’s just like a song , they should have heard years ago …but didn’t

I think the word you're thinking of a Vibrato.

The live is not whole! Album version is SOO much better!

Wrong video
