A great Moody Blues song. This song is about "the one who got away." Feeling a bit nostalgic, the singer wonders if his long-lost love remembers him the way he remembers her. The song was written by The Moody Blues guitarist/singer Justin Hayward, said that it was inspired by a real person, but one that shall go nameless. Source: Songfacts

The video really helps show this. It's too bad they didn't watch it.

Now you have to do "I Know You're Out There Somewhere " which is the follow up song to this ...and this song is the sequel to Knights in White Satin and they are all about the same girl in Justin's life !!!!!!

You also have to watch the videos to this song and the video to the sequel "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." It begins where "In You're Wildest Dreams" ends.

Moody Blues "Nights in white satin" (original video) and "Candle of life" are both AMAZING!! I LOVVVE Moody Blues 💙💙

@BLOODY FACE I love that song so much. 💕

The Moody Blues were my favorite group in high school, and I'm almost 70.

Nothing like them, they are in a class of their own. Thanks Asia and BJ

I've seen the Moodies twice; first and second row each time. It's an evening of poetic, musical artistry that few can know until they experience it.

First time I saw them was the first time "festival seating" wasn't allowed. Festival seating was where the whole bottom of the coliseum was open for people to be wherever, but here they had assigned seating. My friends and I had stadium seats on the side which were fine, but many people would rush down to the aisles on the floor. The fire marshal would turn the overhead lights on to stop the concert and tell people to go back to their seats. This happened several times. Finally, the band said, "We have enough trouble dealing with your weak American electrical system as it is, and need all the power we can get, so please don't do anything to make them turn the lights on." People cheered at them dissing our electrical system and were well behaved after that.

Every time I hear this song, I get in the mood for a lawn chair at the 🏖️ beach with my toes dug deep in the sand. The bass is just dominating this song and giving it a unique vibe, that goes well with the chiming sounds.

This song reminds me of my wife when I serving in the military and on deployment and how she was forever on my mind and how much I was missing her and our first born daughter. Thank you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got to see them live at Las Vegas in the mid 80's. I couldn't believe all that great music came from them. The best concert ever.

You guys should take the time to find the official video of this song (it's difficult to find). Love this one. Y'all be safe.

This song is from a comeback era for the Moody Blues, in 1986, riding a wave of nostalgia. They're originally from the second half of the 1960s. What happened is that "Nights in White Satin" would keep getting rediscovered by audiences, and get play on the radio. So at one point they decided to put out another album.

Not exactly. They were together from 1964 to 1974, then re-formed in 1979 and continued until a few years ago. They released quite a few albums through the 80s and had several hits that decade. Not just one album.

Love this song, and that tenor singing.❤️🎼❤️” once upon a time” like a fairytale 🎶🎶😊

the video for this does a great job of explaining what the song is about

Had o look it up... I liked the Moody Blues back in the day (1974-79) and wondered on their career. 1964-1974 & 1977-2018!!! I did not know that! 😲😁

Watch the official video. It bounces back and forth between the him and his girlfriend. They were young and he was a musician and then in later days his band comes to town where she lives and she is married now and a mother. It's a sweet video and well done.

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their Their "Question” and "The Voice"!!

She might like the really smooth vibed oldies like "new horizons"/ candle of life And obviously ...... "For my lady"

I remember when the video came out on MTV, yes, I am that old. I had never heard of The Moody Blues before this. When this came out, I was 16. Now, at 52, the song makes me very nostalgic. Remembering my youth and when I was the age my kids are.

Everytime I hear this song it instantly takes me back to a time, a place, and a woman that I loved. It is a so sweet memory

I grew up listening to the Moody Blues. They are one of my dad’s favorites. They have a lot of good songs. Nights in White Satin with an orchestra is out of this world!

This was one of their much later softer pop hits. Dad's favorite band.... I prefer their older deeper lyrical hits like "question" "story in your eyes" "go now" "the voice" "isn't life strange" "new horizons" "candle of life" "for my lady"

They are the band I have probably listened to the most, from the age of 11 to now. I raided my older sister's album collection and found mostly Moodys. I was intrigued by every song on the "To Our Children's Childrens Children" album and "In Search of the Lost Chord". "Legend of a Mind" (that song has inspired at least two people I know to play the flute), and the haunting "How Is It (We are Here) off the "Question of Balance" album were two songs I played a lot. Listening to some compilations albums in the mid 70s got me into their earlier albums. I soon discovered that Nights In White Satin, a song that was hammered on the radio was good, but not their best. Watched them live in 2011 in Melbourne and they sounded terrific. The sign said no dancing. Stand outs for me were "Eternity Rd" and "Are You Sitting Comfortably". Their bass lines and flute work were outstanding. I still have a memories of a lovely and greying long haired woman, probably about 65, dancing dreamily, with eyes closed and gracefully by herself on the stairs - the only doing so. The bouncers left her alone...

"For my Lady" is one of the most romantic songs and "Forever Autumn" is one of their saddest. At least sad for me. I lost my wife of 30 years to Pancreatic cancer back in 2009. She was the only girl I dated or kissed and I married her. Very Nature bound we would go for long walks in the forests of the Santa Cruz mountains where we lived. Being the long haired red headed imp she was, she would stuff leaves down my back when I wasn't paying attention. Those leaves lay undisturbed now. Lyrics in a song can mean so much. I'm now 69 and there has not been another.

Try Moody Blues , Nights in White Satin live

The Moody Blues are so awesome! I was able to see them twice in concert. Please listen to more! I love you guys! "Nights in White Satin" is my favorite song of all time. But these guys have a whole library of fabulous songs that you should listen to. "The Story In Your Eyes" "I'm Just A Singer In a Rock and Roll Band" "The Voice" just to name a few.

You two are a trip!!! Love your reactions, keep it up!!

Thank you!! 😁

A great group. Every song is a winner. I’ve never been disappointed. I started listening back in the mid-1960’s.

I first saw the Moody Blues live at Red Rocks in Colorado, along with the Denver Symphony.

Another great reaction! Not only is he recalling a past love, the memory is triggered by a song ("when the music plays...) which reminds him that they parted because he needed to pursue his music ("I hear the sound I had to follow...") Been there, done that😕 As always, thanks for letting us tag along on your musical journey!

This is one where the official video really enhances the song. It shows the context of the lost love at the center of the song.

Great song by the Moody Blues - they are such a diverse band! Clearly this tune is reflecting on a long lost love and still thinking about them. I am sure many of us may be able to relate to this!💔 The official video plays it all out. Thanks for posting this one guys!☺

The Story in your eyes, question, the voice, dawning is the day are all great too. Love you guys!

A that had their first hit in 1964, are unique their tracks always tell a story a real quality band of gifted Musicians!

Moody Blues Part 2 of this song " I Know you're out there somewhere" The videos are great to both.

Moody Blues were a great band and I was able to see them in concert, great music

It’s a just a wonderful song.

This is off their last gasp early 80s album. Good tune. Gemini dream is another off that album I really like.

The Moody Blues were one of my dad's favorite bands. And this particular song is my favorite Moody Blues song. I was so excited to see y'all react!

One of my favorites! Plus there is a sequel to this song. The story continues in their follow up song " I Know You're Out There Somewhere."

My favorite Moody Blues song

I was watching your reaction to Marshall Tucker Band Heard It In A Love Song was the song and you were contemplating what music genre Marshall Tucker Band falls under they are southern rock also to help figure out what the Eagles fall under they are country rock

There is a video version that is really good. Tells a really nice little story about the lead singer and a younger love, and how they almost connected years later.

My teen years, loved them

Very good band . Love you two God bless. Feel good music.

I've seen them twice, playing with the Des Moines Symphony.

One of the most special bands coming out of sixties.

This song is about "the one who got away."As one may feel a bit nostalgic, the singer wonders if his long-lost love remembers him the way he remembers her.

🇨🇦 Always one of my favourites, since the day it was released !

I love the music video to this song. You should watch it as ot explains the song so much more and is very touching from a band starting put as kids to becoming successful and past loves and lives.

My favorite Moody Blues song!

Oh no, you didn't do the music video. That is a must for this one. It really helps tell the story.

LOVE this song. Lots of memories. ❤️

Favorite band and favorite song of theirs.

I have always thought their Question of Balance record was their best effort (It is certainly my favorite). It charted #1 in the UK and #3 in the US, selling over 1 million copies however, Long Distance Voyager sold 1,360,000 copies. The iconic voice is the work of Justin Hayward who was inducted into the R&R HOF in 2018. Some must listens from QOB: It's Up To You, Minstrels Song, Meloncholy Man, and Dawning Is The Day. Thanks for reacting.

I Know Your Out There Somewhere and Bless The Wings That Bring You Back or both good Moody Blues songs that you my like Asia and BJ.

There are some bands/musicians you listen to where watching the accompanying music video can be kind of detrimental to the music, as in it has nothing to do with the lyrics. "Your Wildest Dreams" is one of those songs, where it fits perfectly with the music video, and I hope you manage to see it one day. This always makes me nostalgic because it's music I grew up with listening to on the radio. Also I love the bass guitar in this.

Also check out "Yes". trippy like this.

There are some songs that benefit from the official video. This is one. ❤️

Thanks - The video really adds a lot to the experience

Go Now, from the 60's is their first big hit, I think, with Denny Lane on lead vocals, a great tune. Check it out guys.

I had forgotten how good the bass is in this song

This effing song brings tears to my eyes. Thinking about the ones who got away. And then I think... Well, at least I was privileged enough to let more than one excellent lady get away. Oughta count myself lucky before assessing my own behavior. :)

Moody Blues are one of my favorite groups from the 60's-80's. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. They have a lot of great songs such as "Go Now", "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", Ride My See-Saw", "The Story In Your Eyes" etc. Many of their records are concept albums & meant to be listened to all at once.

Prog rock royalty. Question, 22,000 Days, The Voice, Nights In White Satin (I think you did that one), The Story In Your Eyes, Meanwhile, Legend Of A Mind…and so many more!

The reference to Love is referring to the summer of Love (67')...this isa sentimental song Thank you beautiful Peeps

NO JOKE!! i heard this song as a kid and it was stuck in my head for almost 20 years. i tried humming it (off tune) to my mother, tried looking up the lyrics (i couldn't remember more than 3 in a row) --- one day after meeting my uncle for the first time this song came on while we were at the pool and i flipped out! they thought i had literally gone crazy. i listened to it on repeat for about 200 times. it is so catchy!!!

Such a great song. Thank you!

If you watch the video that they came out with for this song, you will have a whole new appreciation for the lyrics

Moody Blues was my first concert…way back in their 1971 tour in Vancouver, Canada. They were my fav band for years, saw them many times…this one came out later on and always reminded me of the loss of my fiancé, he was killed in a car wreck at 19 yrs old. The lyrics always make me dream of him, wondering if he’s dreaming of me somewhere out there. “When the words are touched with sorrow” Thanks for this one guys, sweet, sweet memories! ❤️‍🔥

Story is about his choice of his music, over a young love, and now he wonders if she knows what happened to him (stardom).

Agree with James. The song is clearer with the video. Lost love, high school love, and remembering the love of your past.

BJ - sportin the beard - looks good man !

I saw them live in the early 90's.

THAT'S SOME OF THAT GREAT PSYCHEDELLIC ROCKKKK ASAI AND BJ! 😊 YOU GOTTA LOVE IT! 😊 TUESDAY AFTERNOON, I'M JUST A SINGER, RIDE MY SEE- SAW, GOOD STUFF GUYS!

This song always reminds me of a girl I dated in college. We broke up, went our separate ways after graduation, ending up on different ends of the country. With FB, (after 30+ years) we have kind of reconnected, as friends. Asia... LOVE THE SHIRT!!! GO LIONS!!!

Each of the guys have PhDs in music and between them can play just about every instrument known to man.

The Video makes it so much better.

You would probably also like "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" if you liked this. Also "The Question" and "Gemini Dream" they have plenty more though.

You two are a joy to watch 😍

Oh the love you guys have for one another just shines through with your humor. Keep them coming, and cherish every small moment.

You know you’re getting old when you have nostalgia for old nostalgic songs…

There is a music video for this

This becomes a lot more meaningful if you're middle-aged or senior, and is really about someone you're not with anymore. At least that's the way I read it.

It is the telling of the story as old as time. The "what if" I would have picked/stayed with them!

Song has a lot of meaning to me. Evokes deep emotions. 😯 High school sweetheart. Thirty years separated by life's circumstances and when we met again it seemed like 30 minutes for both of us.

Check out The Other Side Of Life, Gemini Dream, and I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band by The Moody Blues.
