I discovered The Moody Blues in the 80s, but it was their core seven albums (from Days of Future past in 1967 through Seventh Sojourn in 1972) that touched my soul in ways you describe this song touched you. They've got great songs beyond these also, but these seven are my favorite. "Question" is powerful, as are "Dawning is the Day," "The Actor," "The Story in Your Eyes," and others. I hope you go at least a little way down this rabbit hole! Thank you for this!

When Justin Hayward played this for the guys in the group, they were rather "blah" about it, until the keyboard player, Mike Pinder, asked him to play it again. It was Pinder who added the melodic background that helped so much. My favorite Moody song will always be "The Actor." I hope that you will listen to it someday, Sarah.

19 when he recorded it. 17 when he wrote it.

There's a reason why the Blues need a full orchestra as their backup. Between them, they can play 35 different instruments. So when they were recording, they could make the full orchestra sound. These are some of the most talented musicians you will ever hear. And yes, you just listened to a masterpiece.

Actually back in the '70s they used the device called a mellotron that sounded a lot like a symphony The Beatles also use this device

Best Love Song Ever !

greatest British band and i meeting now this song. When i was young my favorite band.

I grew up listening to this group & they are one of my favorites from the 60's - 80's. They have had so many hit songs. Love their mix of rock with classical music. They have a sound like no other band. The Moody Blues' most successful singles include "Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Question", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice" & "Your Wildest Dreams". But all of their music is great.

Yes Sarah, you have just heard one of the great MASTERPIECES of the last century, and one of the greatest love songs ever performed. As you also heard Whiter shade of pale, another Masterpiece.

Lucky enough to see them live three times . Totally amazing band . Loved them since i was a teenager .

One thing missing from the live recording was the poem 'Late Lament'...it was written by the drummer and read over the symphonic section at the end. Do yourself a favor and listen to the studio version...the poem will have you weeping yet again, and adds SO much to the song. Great video!

This song was originally part of a themed album, where each song was a different part of the day, album was named Days Of Future Passed. This song was for the 'night' as the title implies, another popular one from the album was Tuesday Afternoon.

It's always great to see "kids" today enjoying a song that came out 50+ years ago. Granted, the addition of the philharmonic was much more recent, but still . . .

I loved watching your face during this. I feel the same way! One of the most beautiful songs ever. I get chills when he sings the part "And I love you... Oh how I love you". I feel it right in my soul, and I could tell you felt it too. Amazing reaction and song.

Loved your reaction. This song just captures your soul and takes you on an incredible musical journey

This gave me chills. I was at a concert when they did this at the spectaciular Gorge in Washington state backed by the Spokane Symphony Orchestra who were amazed to be playing behind these men who took us on a quest for so many years with their powerfully themed albums.

I've said this for other videos of the Moody Blues- this video is 40+ years after their prime. Just imagine how great they were in that prime- I've seen them several times back then, and they were wonderful.

Charmingly well spoken young woman

What a beautiful soul you have, it was such a pleasure and so uplifting to see your reaction to this classic. These reactions channels are often so interesting to me. Not everyone is affected to your level, but most people react (particularly women in my opinion) in a wondrous way and it almost never fails to bring their inner beauty directly out to be displayed on their visage. I have not seen a woman that I can recall that was not at her most beautiful when engaging with a magnificent piece of music. If that makes any sense LOL I subscribed, I need to see you react to more music.

While these guys were performing during the hard rock times of Led Zeppelin & such they were much appreciated for their classical sound. I liked them very much.

Their entire body of work must be heard.

Grabs you by the heart, as good if not better than when it first came out years and years ago.

Great reaction to a masterpiece! Thank you!

Thanks for broadening your horizons and bringing these cherished songs back from the past.

Now you need to do the longer version, it's the cherry on the cake. This as you've seen is wonderful, even better with the poem at the end....

Recorded so long ago that they literally had to guess what the string section did the first time around, this epic closer to their 1967 album 'Days of Future Passed' has become a rock and pop standard. And whatever the situation, Justin Hayward still manages to unlock the 17 year old boy confronting love for the first time. A classic.

I totally agree, the music was perfect, but Sarah, you are the Queen! Two big thumbs up for all of your performances!!

I've heard this song performed live with the full rock band plus symphony orchestra (this video was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in, I think, about 2002), just the rock band, and Justin on acoustic guitar with just one or two backing musicians. It's just as good any way he performs it. He's sung this song at every performance since, let's see, about 1967, and he sings it with just as much passion nowadays as he did all those years ago (and he usually gets about a 5-minute standing ovation). He is truly one of the greatest artists of the 20th (and now 21st) century.

The woman he wrote this song about was told that the song was written for her. She went to him and asked if that was true. Not long after he said ye, they got married and have been together ever since.

Thank you. R.I.P. Ray and Graeme.

I just sent this song as a voice te,text to my Baby Mom , And texted her the lyrics , I hope she impacted , we're separated , but I hope she gets on that plane . For me

Just liked someone's comment about this song giving chills. Indeed it does! If you like love songs, have you ever heard Roxette's 'It Must Have Been Love'? Her high notes... One of the funniest things I saw on my way to work one day was this big guy in a truck just blasting it. I definitely couldn't argue with his taste in music!

The end of this song always puts me away. I have always loved this song.

Sarah, that was such a beautiful reaction, straight from your heart as was the song written by the amazing Justin Hayward straight from his heart as a divine gift to the world. Like you, when I first heard it way back in 68' I fell immediately in love with it. 53 years later it only gets better each time I hear it. It fills me with joy to see young people discovering this immortal music and these extraordinary musicians and basking in the glory of their creativity. The concert DVD this was taken from "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" with the World Festival Orchestra is magnificent and is as close to perfection as you can get, extraordinary, for future listening from the same concert I recommend "Tuesday Afternoon" kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ymt92quiodneaJM.html , "Question" kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqGDvKh6icjborw.html and "I know you're out there somewhere" kzread.info/dash/bejne/k21rxpebhaashrQ.html enjoy the journey!

I'm so happy that you have joined us in that magical time, when we were 18-19 and the world seemed to be crashing down around us. We needed the music to touch our souls and now it has touched you, too. And as we watch you, and we listen with you, it becomes new for us again. Look for Justin Hayward's more recent videos, such as "The Actor." You'll be glad you did.

His voice is just as good now as it was back then and he's in his 70s now. Justin (the lead singer) wrote Nights in White Satin when he was 19 years old after a breakup with a girlfriend who had given him a set of white satin bed sheets. The song was released in 1967. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

Great reaction to a magical song. Days of Future Past in a concept lp, and should be listened to as a whole IMO. The Moody's drummer, Graeme Edge, just died last wk, after a long and very productive life...

I have read that Justin Hayward (the singer) wrote this song while he was still in his late teens, if you can imagine that!! No matter how many or how few of their songs you choose to react to please be sure "Question" is on that list! And if you don't mind a few more suggestions (unless you have reacted to them already) please consider: "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" by Danish Symphony Orchestra, "My Immortal" by Evanescence, "Hi De Ho" by Blood Sweat and Tears and from a live version from the late 1970's, "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull!
