Not sure the level of appreciation,don’t forget they are making videos ,they need to show excitement.She keeps wiping her eyes but there are no tears ,it’s a very exaggerated reaction and by the way this is not the first time she listens to the song .

First released in 1967 and sounds just as good 54 years on.

I've seen them in concert and this is what you get. Justin Hayward can make the walls cry.

Definitely, a masterpiece written by Justin Hayward. This is music at it's finest, unlike the trash out now.

I’m 65 and it’s not trash, it’s just written with a different beat,tune and melody. You and I may or may not like it but it’s not trash. Music reinvents itself all the time

Justin Hayward wrote this masterpiece in between classes while in college. He sat under the same tree for a total of 2 hours and during three classes and wrote this epic storyline. RIP Ray and Graeme....Enjoy these songs while you can. We are quickly losing the masters who wrote and performed them.

Thank you for not stopping the song, and let it play. I can see you were truly moved without saying a word and when you did you let the music continue.

Miss Gracie, you never needed to speak a word, as your soul's reaction showed through your eyes.💝

This song was released in 1967, I was 13 at the time, I love this song as much then as now. Its a true classic

I love the way you covered your mouth during the flute solo. I was around when this song came out (yes, I am that old.) It always gave me goose bumps. Thanks for your reaction.

The band just has that effect on people. Like so many others, our parents grew up with them, liked them and then we had the privilege to hear them when we grew up. Now we are fans ourselves (privileged to have seen them perform live nd with an orchestra). Now I have the honor of introducing them to my students. They are absolutely timeless.

I LOVE your reaction to one of the most iconic and timeless songs ever written. You’re beautiful smile showed your understanding of the true meaning of music. ❤

The best concert experience of my 74 years was in 1992 when the Moody Blues appeared at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston (The Woodlands) with a 55-piece orchestra, and brought my kids with me. They had as much fun as I did, because, they grew up listening along with me, to all their albums.....an experience that will never be repeated.

What a great reaction. Thanks for letting us see how this beautiful song made you feel.

It’s an exaggerated reaction,fake all the way ,keeps wiping her eyes with no tears ,first time she listened to this song ??? Hahahahahah

Very haunting gut wrenching song for those that understand the lyrics he is expressing. "Nights in white satin never reaching the end" is reference to the satin sheets she bought him just before she broke it off. "Letters I have written never meaning to send" With 20 versions sitting in the trash he never mails his letter to try and gain her back. Why? "Just what the truth is I can't say anymore" Did she ever really love him? "Gazing at people some hand in hand" seeing others in love only brings back the pain. "Just what I'm going through you can't understand" Unless you have had a broken heart you can't understand. I cry every time I hear this song. I wonder where she is how she is doing. Damn this song all to hell its so beautifully written yet so haunting.

It was played at my uncle's funeral. He was a true Flower Child of the 60s & 70s, a heroin addict and shot on the streets of Atlanta. He was lost, just like the song's heart wrenching theme.

This is about the fifth reaction to this song I've seen by younger women and I can give it to you down to the very note when they melt this song really has a power.

They were young men when they first performed/recorded this song and it’s just as epic as it was in my youth. Thank you so much for reviewing this song. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. Keep up your fantastic reactions! I first was attracted to your channel when you reacted to Pentatonix. They are my all-time favorite and you will never go wrong reacting to their songs.

Young lady, watching you discover this song for the first time was a really beautiful thing. Do yourself a favor and listen to the original version. There is a poem that is not included in this version. I think you’d enjoy it very much. Seeing how this song made you feel brought me tremendous joy. Thank you.

I have been a fan of The Moodies from the beginning and seen them numerous times in concert. Together with Justin Hayward's voice and not forgetting his songwriting they are perfection personified.

Beautiful heartfelt, emotional reaction Gracie!! Thank you so much for letting us share this experience with you!! Where has this music been hiding all of your life??? Justin Hayward indeed wrote and sang a masterpiece here! For more greatness from the Moody Blues please react to Tuesday Afternoon and The Question next!! And if you enjoyed hearing the flute in this song, and you certainly seemed to, I would like to recommend "Can't You See" from The Marshall Tucker Band and especially a live version from the late 190's of the band Jethro Tull doing "Locomotive Breath"!!! Continued great success to you with your excellent channel!!

That was a beautiful reaction young lady. ❤️ I've heard this song many, many times and I still fall in love with it, and Justin Hayward everytime. You're right in your description of his voice as otherworldly. I could never find the word. You found it immediately. Very nice.

Thanks for youre emotional reaction. Without pausing 😮 take care of you from France ❤

This song was recorded in 1967 which makes it 54 years old, over half a century ago.

Dam... 1967... i was 2 years Old (omg)... but i remember this feeling song when i was young, not only on radio, but by my mom Disc Vinyl !!! It was the peace flower time ans how to not appreciate this song ? 56 years after i have always chills... Thx dear, you make a good feeling reaction... Salute from France, keep & stay safe Girl (plus, you have a very beautiful little squeek in your voice, that so sweet...)

I have always loved this. The instruments, His voice and the way it makes me feel and i hate to admit that it also makes my eyes water every time. You are not alone. There other music is to me ok, But this one is special.

These Reactionaries seem to want to hear it over and over again, they are so into it. I can understand completely. A hauntingly beautiful song. And Justin was only 19 when he wrote it. Young love!

The song "Nights in White Satin" was originally released in 1968 by the Moody Blues. It was written by Justin Haywood who was new to the band at that time. This version was this version was performed 33 years later by The Moody Blues with Haywood as lead vocalist. It was awsome in 1968. It was awsome in 200 and it is awsome still.

Either she's a natural born actress or the lyrics........."Oh how I love you" or the flute solo....or both....just completely melted her, emotionally. good for her!

with well over 200 songs from the Moodies, you must do more songs..........been a huge fan of them since 1968. try their song "had to fall in love"

Greetings Gracie 🌹 Yes, you're not the only one who gets teary listening to this one. Two of the finest examples of "Symphony Rock" are this performance and the Live from Denmark performance of "Whiter Shade of Pale". You're sweet face and joyful reactions have seen me through some tough times, so I offer you my thanks and appreciation. Stay well ❣️👼

Can any other singer other that Justin Hayward say the words "I Love You" with any more profound meaning than in this song.I'm 66 years old and I still tear up with this song. I've seen the MB 5 times in concert and the 2001 at the Paul Mason Winery, Ca. I considered to be not one of, but the best in my life. With late teens on one side of me and my wife and an 80 year old on the other and we were all singing every word to every song. Dancing in the Aisle were the Ushers. A purely and truly multi generational band. A fan since 1975. You seemed so moved by the Flutist Ray Thomas who wrote many of their songs, here is one that reminds me of my late wife who passed away in 2009. Such a beautiful voice, kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6maj8yDerKrp6Q.html "for my Lady" about finding your love after many trials in your life, and Justin's Hayward's (lead singer) "forever Autumn" , losing it and walking alone and missing the foot steps that used to disturbed the leaves beside you , kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yn9mxJeMY8XHlrA.html .

Justin Hayward on guitar and lead vocals, John Lodge on bass and backup vocals, the late Ray Thomas (2018) on flute and backup vocals and the late Graham Edge (2021) on drums; contributing with poetic verses as well. Early founding member, Mike Pinder played the Mellotron (an electro-mechanical type of keyboard instrument), sang backup vocals and wrote some of the group's material as well. Pinder left the Moody Blues after the band recorded their Octave project in 1978 - right before the band was to go on tour for that album. Former Yes keyboard player, Patrick Moraz joined the group to replace Pinder, and played with them until 1991. Though he never did contribute to writing any of the band's material. Since then, the group has hired accompanying musicians whenever they toured. I believe this particular video was filmed at London's Royal Albert Music Hall. If you ever have the opportunity, you should listen to their album Days of Future Passed; which is their musical story of the events of an ordinary day. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on August 13,2018, seven months after the passing of Thomas. As Graham Edge would say . . . Keep on thinking free.

This is such a wonderful reaction to an incredible song .......................... so loved your seeing you xxxx

When I saw them in 1967 they did not have gray hair. But, nether did I . Me and my date were in Junior High School. The Fillmore East in Greenwich Village, NYC, NY. We waited over two hours for them. Every one just sat quietly in our seats. And it was worth it, for a lifetime of memories. Great memories. Cheers to you. You are beautiful.

Gracie, superb reaction, when you have to play it twice. I was 16 when this was released, I loved it then & love it now. I was incensed when Simon Cowell rubbished the flute on America’s Got Talent. Nothing could be added to make ‘Night’s in White Satin’ any better & anything taken away from it would spoil it. Excuse me while I watch it again. 🤟🙏

They have been performing this song for 50 years! Members of the RRHOF. The lead singer Justin Hayward wrote this masterpiece in 1967 including the full orchestra part (also part of the original studio version) when he was 19-years-old. The Moody Blues have recorded many massive hits over many decades.🙂

Moody Blues were an awesome band......and we had a LOT of great bands back in that day. Check out Procol Harum "Whiter Shade Of Pale".

Then about 25 years ago, I converted all my CDs (bought them too) to MP3, and they are on my phone, PC, in my car, etc. I never get over this great music.
