Justin Hayward was all of 19 when he wrote this. Tuesday Afternoon is another classic by him from the same album.

I have played the actual 12 sting guitar that Justin Hatward wrote and recorded this on.

the Moodies have so many great gems of music ==explore it all.

@@beowulfthedane So do I,its completes the song's story plot, I don't like when the radio stations editing the songs for time.

Great reaction! I love this song. There's so much feeling in it.

This is an absolute classic and glad to see you both feel the same about it.

Ah the original symphonic mixing of Rock! Today we have symphonic metal thanks to this early work done by the Moody Blues. This is their signature song that is a quiet cry about love and it's impact on a person, suffering but done with a melodic flare that is just hypnotic at times. Great reaction and good discussion and I love how music gets people talking about their interpretation of the song and it's meaning which of course, is impacted by one's own life experiences.

Beautiful song. Peace

For the longest time I thought it was Knights in White Satin, in my youth. I pictured majestic knights riding their noble steeds across the green fields of England. Of course it is a love song I understand now. Either way it is one of my favorite songs ever. A true classic.

I can listen to this song.. actually the whole album on a continuous loop. This in particular though is my ALL time favorite song

The gong fades at the end of the album,and fades back in in the beginning of the album.

Namaste! Great reaction from you, and it's not a surprise for me :) I'm glad Kirti enjoyed it and it seems it brought up some good memories for Savio. I try to keep the balance between value and popularity in my future requests, too.

It's twin in the Moody's catalogue was Tuesday Afternoon. Peace

Group formed in 1964 and the song was written in 1967 I believe and hit the United States in 1968

Beautiful smile throughout the song!

Justin Hayward is indeed a musical genius who is right up there with Lennon and McCartney.

Enthralling song charted numerous times - in 67, 72, 79 & recently in 2010 📀 Great reaction Enoma 🎑

👍 You're right. Also, 2010. Thanks.

Listen to 'For my lady' by The Moody Blues. Written and sung by Ray Thomas. He also plays the flute. One of the most beautiful love songs.

This is just a song I love to enjoy at night and relax to the music and the sound of his voice. Another 60's song that I will always remember.

Yay! There is a poem the drummer wrote that is pretty good as well, lyrical to wrap the album up. They have great songs about consciousness like Yes. The Moodies have a song, "The Word is Om" Kula Shaker has a similar sentiment in "Golden Avatar" 'In the beginning was the word and the word is Om...'

Awesome song u guys rock your wife is gorgeous too peace out

i love the moody blues and according to my mother this is the song i always wanted played when i was 2 or 3 years old befor i knew what or why mom play the knight song

A love song of regret.

You guys are awesome . PS. Savio you are a very lucky man.

A thing of beauty is its own justification for existing and needs no further explanation or interpretation.

Great song and band! Always liked this song!

This was the single they released around 1972. The album version, which includes the poetry at both ends of the song, came out in 1967. Wish you'd played the album version, but glad to hear this old beauty anytime.

It also became a hit in 72.

Great band, great song. I saw them twice - Illinois in 1981 and Texas about 1992.

One of the best, underrated songs here

The lead singer Justin Hayward, wrote this song sitting on his bed at the age of seventeen!

Melancholy Man, you should try next

I got to see The Moody Blues in 1984 in St Louis MO.

I read this was one of the first songs recorded in stereo.

try the album version

hope you had the chance to listen to this song and the album in their entirety

I had JUST said regarding you, Savio, "I BET he's heard this one." and then immediately.... 0:15 Savio: " I heard this..." Hahaha!

You have to hear the full length album version, from the "Day of Future Passed" album, a masterpiece - this track, in full seven minute length, is the last of the album, which was about a complete 24 hour cycle of a full day. It is an effing travesty the Moody Blues aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and just makes the R&RHOF a bigger joke.

Justin Hayward said it was a song about him and his girlfriend and she bought him a satin blanket ,I think they had a memorable time under that blanket for him to write a song about it.

You asked what is that, its a flute.

I think the instrument she is asking about is a Mellotron. A keyboard device that simulates woods and strings.

@kivimik

It's more of an early sampler than a simulator. It uses 8 second tape loops of instruments/sounds. However, the solo instrument is a flute performed by Ray Thomas.

This was inspired by Procul Harem Whiter shade of pale

Excellent as always. A suggestion for a future video; Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Rick Wakeman. It's the musical adaption of the Jules Verne classic mixing classical and rock in an incredible live performance. Keep up the great work. Love and blessings❤

The STORY of The Moody Blues is well worth checking out...as is the mellotron explained by Mike Pinder...explore and learn. See you later!!

1967...in this year...try to listen to another hit : A whiter shade of pale by Procol Harum

Try: Melancholy Man by the Moody Blues....

I understand that he was not referring to the knights Templar...I just took a little literary license to imagine the song another way. The Templars of the crusades did wear white satin attire with a big red cross. I just took it as a young knight who made have had a love interest and gave it all up to pursue the cause of freeing Jerusalem...Peace! @@jamesanderson5268

Try Procol Harum- Whiter shade of Pale! Kinda a unknown classic!

i always thought this was first hippie song ever made.

Knights in White Satin is a song whose lyrics are about a man's love for another man ..."gazing at people, some hand in hand, just what the truth is they can't understand...."

😍😍😍😍😍

Obo, maybe?

Not related but if you could give a look at Caruso sung by Luciano Pavarotti that'd be a good time.

After hearing this many times only now have I realized that this is more of a meditative chant. The lyrics are meaningful but very limited. It's based on repetition of the main message.

To hear this live with an orchestra will make your heart skip if you Have one.And the prologue at the end.....

You cut the whole song off and chopped it up in pieces you just shouldn't played the short Edition it's not just played the edit Edition before minute 48 section that was sent to the states I don't know why you had to chop this up two pieces you did a real disservice to the song

You two are a cute couple. I love your music choices and your positive, upbeat reactions.
