The Night: Nights In White Satin
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Late Lament
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

The 70’s , late night , headphones and just the light of the stereo dial …….tranquility at its best .
BOOM ! EXACTLY !!
My mother still has this album. And I still remember every single word.
Your my tribe.
I was there too.
I'm a Gen-X'er and this is One of the Top 10, Best, Most Beautiful and Classic songs of All-Time!
Not many of us left Alive who remember hearing this when it Debuted. Treasure this Legacy children, these are our Gifts. 🎶❤
A transcendent experience.....still. 💞
Autumn 1970
We are still here with you 2/16 /23
me too
Yes. The Ides of February 2023.
(Oh heck. I already commented earlier)
I’m 37. This song takes me back to being a child listening to this song on full volume in a dimly lit room, while my dad sat back in a chair with a drink in his hand, losing himself in the music. This song always makes me think of my dad, I love it so much. Thank you for making this video ♥️
My dad's 14 years older than me. This song used to scare me because of the spoken bit
I still remember the poem to this day. Im 65 now and im sure when i cant remember anything i will still remember Breath deep the gathering gloom...
The poem is so strong and has so much powerful meaning. Every time I hear it it draws so many emotional responses. Especially the two parts about the man who has no love and the senior citizen wishing they were young again. The song itself is so interesting and the poem just expands the song.
Absolutely
Hey Jon
❤
We decide which is right, and which is an illusion. I think that sentence is the meaning of life
Its the late lament that I always remember when it comes to Nights in White Satin.
Late 60s & 70s was the best music..period !
When I first heard this I was so moved I cried.
The ending poem got to me when I was kid still love it today
@@edwardwaldron7813 Working on a painting for a friend...she may never know....
Still does.
No you didn't.....
You gotta be fuckin kidding me 😂
This song has been my favourite one since i was 14 years old. It's the song i want to be played in my wedding day. A sad moment to read Graeme Edge has passed away. R.I.P.
Justin Hayward is one of our few living musical geniuses.
He's an old soul.
I used to listen to this on my grandmothers turntable as a little boy and sit mesmerized....now, 40 yrs later, I still listen mesmerized....that's how timeless music works, I imagine....simply wonderful....it must feel amazing to have written such a massively timeless classic as this....many thanks, Justin - you've enriched all of our lives 🔥
Still heavenly after all of these years...bless you and thank you for sharing this beautiful song and these images. Wishing everyone a beautiful St. Valentine's Day.💐
The proper version of this song without the poem cut off! Finally!
One of the few "Epic" songs out there, that he got the visuals to match the heights that this song achieves, this can truly be called a Masterpiece.
Agreed
Yes it is a masterpiece. I don't believe we truly understand this concept until we are older adults. In 1964 I was all of 7 years old.love Justin Hayward.
The Moody Blues defined a period of childhood to teenager for myself & young adult. Each of their songs brings me back to a memory of what life was like for me then as I listen. Music does create memories some happy some painful..
The Beatles. Led Zeppelin & the Moody Blues are the 3 bands that shaped my musical history & ❤️ loves in my life.
Today I rediscovered Forever Autumn, had forgotten how that song moved me. 😢
WPST was the radio station in NJ that played that song every fall for years, only station to play it that I know of. I just worked a music muscle 💪. Amazing. I hadn't thought of that song for years! Ty.

This song with the Late Lament ending is so spiritual and deep. It takes me to a distant land where an everlasting love reaches my soul beyond imagination.
Thank you for sharing the ENTIRE song. Often times, "Late Lament" is faded out, and left unheard. That would be comparable to playing Queen's "We Will Rock You" and leaving out "We Are The Champions".
And just as importantly, using the _superior_ original mix from 1967 instead of that terrible remix that was put together for the CD.
Was released 1967. There is still a lot of us around
One Of the best Ballads made, beautiful, touching.
I've seen them in concert many times over the decades, the last time being 2018. They could hardly walk...but boy when they opened their mouths, it was truly impressive.
One of the rarest greatest songs of all time!
What makes a song rare? And how does that apply to this? I hear this on the radio. With the poem.
buz, could a instrumental version the night & nights in white sating with out late lament be a good description of the music of the universe?
@@JaTjr32 Rarely heard these days, because it oozes peace and love!
@@diniathome7930 I heard it on the radio with the poem 3 days ago. It's still not rare. It's one of their best known songs.
It's rare due to it's composition, the message from within the song. The quality of the artists who performed it, sound quality. The emotions provoked by the words.
If you listen to this in a room with either good headphones or a high quality component stereo and really listen to it, especially if it has backwards Lament with it it can set your mind free and allow you to be who you want or where you want. It's close to some of what has been coined as psychedelic music of the Pink Floyd variety. It's just a slower, softer version.
Personally even though Backwards Lament is a separate song i prefer to hear them together, they compliment each other rather well.
Yes I'm an old hippie and remember when this song was released. I like it more now than in the 60's when it was broadcast on AM radio back then. But who wouldn't AM sucks. It a mono broadcast and leaves much of the sound to the imagination.
Justin, John, Ray, Mike, Graham, from days to strange times. Musical master pieces that spannend my life. RIP Ray and Graham.
Poem at the end and the epic music has always felt like a movie soundtrack....1 of the great soundtracks!
Classics. That spoken word hold so much truth.
It’s a big thing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to remember❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺
Most beautiful song ever
This song has been circling in my head for decades and now i finally goggled it and now really appreciate it. Beautiful and remembered rhythms that i will always be entuned to it passion. So sad that some band members passed away.
While now that I’m older I appreciate this song’s touching lyrics and gorgeous orchestration, this song scared the living daylights out of me as a little kid.
I KNEW there was a version of this song with the poem. I swore I used to hear it on the radio as a kid. Streaming services only seem to play short version.
Thanks to my Dad for introducing me to this masterpiece. As well as all the great rock from his day. I miss him, and think of him every time I hear this song.
None of the great songs get air time not even on streaming services.
Censorship at its finest!
Janis Joplin - "Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose! "
my dad use to play moody blues all the time. he would say along with the poem with a funny face and deep voice when i was a kid.. I love the words at 5:55 and on.. still do, so fucking cool.
I've searched everywhere for this version with the poem! I had that shit memorized as a kid I'd trip all the adults out
And of course, the gong heard at the end of Late Lament announces the day's end.
the opening of the album is a backward gong indicating the beginning of the day ... the whole album is one continuous circle which never ends ... complete musical genius
@@rokker101 that’s a perfect description of an amazing album.
Oh and thank you for the last part.
Always and forever.
When I was growing up, I would sit up late at night, listening to music. When this song would come on the radio, I would pray and hope that they played the complete version, complete with "Late Lament". I always felt cheated when the station played the radio edit - that cut out my favorite part.
❤❤❤ the most beautiful song EVVVERRRR!!! Remember when I was tiny and my Dad would crank it. Not sure which I love more. The song or the Poem at the end. YES! I LOOOVE YOUUUU, OH HOWWI LOOOOVE YYOOOUUU..OHHHHHH!
I realize that was a bit off key, but it can't be helped. Lol
I remember lying on my bunk in my barracks at ft. Leonard Missouri 1972 listening on my transistor radio seems like another lifetime ago.
I love their poems. cold hearted orb that rules the night . . . my baby moon 🌙
Pure magic!!!!!
I remember when this came out...Was very lucky to see them in concert before Ray Thomas retired and got to see him play flute on this live......I had older siblings that listened to this. When I got older I understood the song better.... I wonder how many kids were conceived while their parents were listening to this????
One of the all time greatest tunes, from one of the greatest songwriters! Haunting, dramatic, beautiful. Now has one of the greatest videos by a fan. Thank you!
How anyone could possibly Not have the senseability to recognize this as The Best Ever (besides Amazing Grace)🙊😊 is beyond me
When I first heard this, I imagined an angel being created and flying through a night sky. I also imagined a group of angels dancing around the singer at another time I heard the song.
This is the version I grew up listening to on KMET and KLOS in the late 70s and early 80s.
R.I.P Graeme Edge
BREATH DEEP THE GATHERING GLOOM.... love it
It's a beautiful cycle, the tale of a spring day moving and encompassing aspects of our lives which leave indelible marks upon our souls.
One of the greats.
Roni - Nights In White Satin / Late Lament, as i said, one of the defining moments of the 1960s.
The orchestra. My God. Is just Awesome
I absolutely love this version. The magical music of the 70s & 80s brings me back to childhood 💕
A MASTERPIECE of all time..ABSOLUTELY breathtaking ❤timeless
Justin Hayward was only 19 when he wrote this
I L❤️VE this song the BEST... From early 70's.
@@user-nw4lb1ej7bThis is 60s
After watching some of your videos I asked my dad if he knew about Moody Blues, he just laughed and proceeded to show me his stack of Moody Blues records. This music speaks to me in so many ways, it's almost euphoric, I went from a kid who knew nothing about Moody Blues and now because of you they're one of my favourite groups. Thank you so much for putting the time and work into producing these videos, it means a lot.
Nothing smells like vinyl 💜
You have something special
You must have been totally tuned out to Dad's music at the time. I still remember what my parents played as well as what was on radio and tv. Perhaps your appreciation now, is because it was & is familiar and takes you back to family warmth. Years = maturity = understanding. Blessings
@@zenstefaniotis7379 nothing sounds like vinyl
Here ya go kid, another All-Time Classic!
"Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son" -ruclips.net/video/P5ZJui3aPoQ/видео.html
This song speaks to my past life and brings forth the longing to return to this past.
Thanx for includin' the gong, at the end!
Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking! I watched another video of these two songs together not too long ago, and I was so disappointed that it didn't include the gong at the end. It may not seem important, but it is.
The gong actually symbolizes the end of the entire "Days Of Future Passed" concept and not "Late Lament" as a separate entity, thus it is not heard on either the "This Is The Moody Blues" or "Prelude" compilations
I've loved the Moody Blues from way back when...
And _this_ "New Horizons" is especially important to me as I wrote its lyrics in the Hospital "Book of Remembrance" to honour my first set of twins... I already had a daughter so "had love enough for one, but dreams enough for three"
...the dreams were broken...
Philip lived _6_hours.
Marianne lived _12_ hours.
16/01/1992:- 16/01/1992.(British dates)
Thank you Justin.❤️.💙💔.🧡💔.❤️.💙. Then I had twins again...
(Tegan & Julian are _30_ now.)
This song takes me back to the early 70's riding on the bus to school. Bus driver was cool and had an 8-track (some of you may not know what that was) and we were allowed to bring tapes to play. Well, someone brought this tape in and the song stuck with me since. Same with ZZ TOP TRES Hombres. The good 'ole days.
I saw them singing this in concert…it was chill producing.
Wolf trap in Virginia ca. ‘83. Nothing quite like Ray Thomas solo
Thank you Moody Blues
Cold hearted orb that rules the night...
yes things done in darkness
Driving back from my Aunt and Uncles house from a great family day with my Mom and Dad, cousins and everyone. This song always played on A.M. nighttime radio on some station in N.J. Greatest days of my life. Fleetwood Macs Dreams also. One more day from my childhood Please LORD.
Bless you
thank you thank you thank you
In basic training (Canadian Army 1979), this was our goodnight song played by one of our NCOs before “Lights Out”. It stuck with me to this day.
WOW! I love this, the skies and the stars, the hearts, and the Northern Lights are amazing. I love the feather as a writing quill for letters I've written. Thank you for including the lyrics too, they are still among my favorite lyrics ever written, 40+ years later!
I'm with You!
I remember hearing this when I'd wake up to go to school in the morning in California. It would be the test pattern on the TV and it would have jets flying. My Dad was overseas and I remember being sad.
I hope your dad made it back home.
This is my Fiancee' Susan's favorite.
I sing it for her Every time i do karaoke!!!!
I remember this song released in 1967 and later on re-released in 1972. Fantastic Awesome song.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night...all these years later I remember every word. (But cannot remember what I had for lunch)
Truly one of the most beautifully performed songs of all time. No. 2 Ambrosia Holding on to yesterday. No. 3 Simon and Garfunkel Scarborough Fair. No. 4 Queensryche Silent Leucidity.
Back in the day only true FM noncorperate stations would play the full version including poem. There are days when I leave work. I use the line "Another day's useless energy spent."
Lovely visuals to a lovely song!
PRAISE KING JESUS I ALWAYS LOVE THIS SONG ESPECIALLY WITH THE VISUALS OF THE SIGNS OF KING JESUS RETURNING WOW GOOSEBUMPS ❤
One of the greats.
This is my Fiancee' Susan's favorite.
I sing it for her Every time i do karaoke!!!!
One Of the best Ballads made, beautiful, touching.
When I was a born, my head looked extremely oval shaped like the crystal skull due to labor stress (it isn't an uncommon thing. Just built up fluid that goes away after a few days). During that time though, my dad called me the "Cold Hearted Orb" because of my misshapen head. That is how I first learned about this song. Lol
@John Sinclair That is quite right. Both of our kids were c-section births, and their heads were not elongated in the slightest, as they never had to squeeze through the birth canal.
Hey, that's a cute and cool little story, whatever the technical reason for the shape of your head at the time!
You've got a good memory lol 😂
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Naw, man you smoking pot.
The Best Rock Ballad ever!
Came here just to listen the poem at the ending...after hearing its mention by Neil deGrasse Tyson in Star Talk (The sunset Illusion). I listened the song on multiple channels but they didn't had the poem I was looking for. Thank you for sharing the complete song with the poem at the end.
Indeed what a beautiful song and poem!!
I want to dedicate this song, and especially the poem Late Lament to Graeme Edge, drummer of the band and author of many of the Moodies poems, who died today, 11th of November 2021, at the age of 80. R.I.P., Gray!
Such a mind serving song 😊❤😊
Fantastic job on the video. This is one of my all time favorite songs and got to see them live in 79
Sad that these epic songs are fading from people's memory!
A haunting beautiful song . . .
I have to thank my dad for playing this music all through growing up and I miss him if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have the Musical knowledge I have today. Miss you dad. I lost him in 2020.
That ending is Spectacular!!!!!
We thought music would get better and better as time went by......boy were we wrong!
Pour ma part , je crois que là en 67 , nous avions atteint le "graal musical" de cette époque des sixties !
Those clicks though!!!
The great Moody Blues
This is my Fiancee' Susan's favorite.
I sing it for her Every time i do karaoke!!!!
Roni - Nights In White Satin / Late Lament, as i said, one of the defining moments of the 1960s.
Bravo&Brava!!!!! Many, Many Thanks!!!!!
Late lament & gong truly inspiring. Thank you Justin Hayward for your musical genius!!! Pure magic.
Late Lament actually by Graeme Edge.
this entire Cd is great to listen to while meditating
Absolutely beautifully done!❤❤❤
11/11/2021 Graeme Edge, The last of the original Moody Blues, passed away. R.I.P. Your "Late Lament" will be remembered-always!
Epic....timeless....genius....fabulous....what in this life is more important than love? ....nothing....absolutely nothing....❤
Génial ! Merci beaucoup Partagée.
I knew the Moody Blues before Justin Hayward joined them . Seems like a long time ago. But it is still a great ride . And I will ride with them till my end .
Definitely my all time favorite song ever! I also like their song The Actor.
I've watched several of these late lament visual accompaniments, and yours is by far the best.
5:50 until the end of the song is something I can imagine being heard in a Magical Fairy Tale Movie.
Wow. Just wow...
I'm with ya--WOW is Right!!!
