      Absolutely. I think this is one of those songs that you almost have to be of a "certain age" to fully understand ("Send in the Clowns" is another one).
      It's funny-over the weekend I did some cleaning and I ran across a wallet-sized photo of my first serious girlfriend, from about 1982. I easily spent a couple of minutes just staring at the photo and remembering all the things we did (including things I won't mention in polite company). And I did wonder if she ever thinks about me.

    Interesting that you've done two Moody Blues songs, and they were separated by 19 years (1967 and 1986). In between, they had "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)", "Gemini Dream", "The Voice", and "Sitting at the Wheel". Justin Hayward had a voice on him, didn't he?

      You're not wrong-but it's interesting that two of the songs you picked were written and sung by John Lodge, and a third was cowritten by Lodge and Hayward. (There are lots of other great songs you could have listed as well; and the Moody Blues had four good singers/songwriters.)

    Glad you did this review - I think you guys are not yet old enough to harken back to a "most nostalgic time" in your lives. Right now you are a young family building what will eventually be your own history - times you will look back upon with deep emotional and bitter-sweet nostalgia.
    Moody Blues got started in the '60s. The woman in this video clearly was deeply in love with that man and with her life and all of the times they had together. She never really let go of that part of her life. She longs for a chance to relive it just a little - she tries to connect with her long lost love. How wonderful we all would feel if we could just relive that one special summer love - or that year in college...to once again if only briefly to feel and to smell and to hear and to touch those experiences...but we cannot do that. time has moved on and left those times permanently embedded and bound together with the emotions - the feelings of youth, freedom, companionship. It goes by so fast. During those special times we never imagine that it will not last but for a year, a semester...a summer...and then we are swept away from our reverie by the forces of time and obligations of grown up lives...as men and women - no longer young and free to do and to live as we chose to do when we were 19 and twenty..

      Great point. I was born nostalgic (I think many Gen Xers had nostalgia sort of dumped on them by our Boomer parents, lol) but this song clicked so hard with me even when it came out and I was a kid--the gorgeous romance of someone looking back on their first love, not to mention the poetry . . . I remember skies reflected in your eyes . . . once beneath the stars, the universe was ours . . . it captured that starry-eyed feeling of first love so well! All of the Moody Blues' music was so evocative and melodic, but this one made me understand the rosy dizziness of young love even before I'd felt it!

I had a fling with a gal from California (I'm from Chicago) and it was a great time of my life, my first big love, but she wanted to go back to Cally and I wasn't ready for any commitment. When this song came out years later it reminded me so much of our year and a half fling. I love the Moody Blues, my wife and my first song at our wedding was New Horizons from 7th Sojourn.

    Thank you so much. I asked for this a while back. I’ve seen them live close to 20 times going back to the 70s. As good as they are here, they are absolutely incredible live. They’ve done shows with an entire symphony orchestra down in front of the stage as accompaniment. This song was from 1986 and is about wondering about a long lost love. Their song I Know You’re Out There Somewhere continues the story so now you must listen to that. They started out around 1964 with their song Go Now. I was in junior high and pretty much wore out the 45 record. Would also be a good listen to hear the contrast from where they started to where they ended up.

I think Jay would be prefer "The Other Side of Life" and "Stepping In A Slide Zone". The Moodys can do it all. Their music works better with live performance videos than MTV style videos.

Always loved them. Always will. Like you I've seen them live as well (but only once alas). It was around when "Keys to the Kingdom" came out with "Say It With Love".

    The song is about remembering back to the 60s, when the band first started out. He went on to fame, and she was left behind. She ended up marrying someone else, but couldn't forget how he'd made her felt, her first love. Marriage and two kids later, he's famous, and all she can think about was what might have been. So she goes to their concert, and the reunion she'd hoped for was thwarted. Segue to the next song, 'I know You're Out There Somewhere', where he'd seen her at that concert, and kept searching for her until he found her.

    Thanks guys for reacting to this song. I love the poetry and musicality of Nights in White Satin, but this one is very special to me, because it exactly captures that feeling of thinking about that first true love, and more than that, reaching out to see what they're doing now and perhaps whether they still have feelings for you (as you might still harbor for them). In 1986, there was no Facebook, so people often lost touch or drifted apart when they went their separate ways. Other than chance meetings or a phone call or card/letter our of the blue, there was no easy way to stay in touch. This song is about that long lost love, but also making the effort to reach out to them, and maybe taking a chance and seeing if there is still a spark.

    So glad you've jumped down the Moody Blues rabbit hole. 🐇🐇🐇 May I recommend *Tuesday Afternoon*.... which was released on their 1967 album Days of Future Passed, a concept album chronicling a typical day. It's not just a "song", it's an experience. But, Days of Future Passed is a concept album, and definitely deserves to be listened to in its entirety, eventually.
    *In Your Wildest Dreams* may seem slow, however, I would classify it more as a ballad. Many people think a particular song is slow when it's ready a ballad, there's a difference.
    Their work with sympathy orchestras is what makes them so special. Hope to hear more of The Moody Blues from y'all soon!! ❤️😊

    Amber wins 🏆 this is a solid 1986 song. The Moody Blues did have hits in the 60s and 70s "Tuesday Afternoon", "I'm Just A Singer", "Question" This was a rebranding to a pop sound during the 80s "I Know You're Out There Somewhere".

    This era of the Moodies was like the "Updated" Moody Blues for the 80s. There's way more to dive into; their earlier music and the later. The later includes my favorite song of theirs of this era, "The Voice." The earlier era Moody Blues song, from the same album as Nights In White Satin, is "Tuesday Afternoon."

    awe, The Moody Blues. Love this exceptional music. Some music critic back in the day when they first appeared with The British Invasion, had said that rock blended with an orchestra would not last long. Their 1st top 40 single was "Go Now" in '64 and their last top 40 single was "I know you're out there" in 1988. Not bad for a group they said wouldn't last very long.!! They released the 1st true concept album - Days of Future Passed - in '67 (Nights in White Satin was on that album but wasn't released as a single until 1972), but another song off that album, "Tuesday Afternoon" was released as a single and hit top 40. This song was released '86, followed by "Other side of Life" in the same year. My fav was "The Voice" - released in '81. The songwriting for their music were shared among several of the band members but the primary songwriter/lyricist was the lead singer - Justin Haywood - extremely under recognized as both a songwriter and singer. The band was considered rock/progressive/pop genres. They have often been called "The Thinking Mans' Band" - as the lyrics are deep with multi-dimensional meanings depending on personal/individual interpretations. They released something like 16 studio albums, of which 12 went Gold/Platinum in the US, Canada and the UK; 24 compilation albums, 5 of those went gold/platinum in US, UK and Canada; and over 30 singles that did go top 100 billboard charts with 12 in top 40 chart. Sadly several band members have passed on, but Justin Haywood still does some solo concerts featuring many songs that he has written. Hope you react to more of their music.

    Moody Blues were a 60's and 70's group, this song was from their mid 80's comeback. Easy to see how you hear the 70's influence in their sound. For future reactions I would say go early again..."Go Now", "Tuesday Afternoon", "Voices in the Sky", "The Story in Your Eyes", "Isn't Life Strange", "I'm Just a Singer", "Blue Guitar" and many more.

Best concert experience I’ve ever had!! Believe me, keep checking out their songs from time to time, you will be surprised by the wide variety of sound that the Moody Blues have given us!!

    I had to do some tree trimming today, so I'm a little late getting online tonight. Great ear, Amber! This song is from 1986 when I was a teen, and I've loved it ever since I first heard it. I think their song The Story in Your Eyes will be more Jay's speed (especially when the piano starts), but it's got a 60's feel (released 1971) that you'll enjoy, Amber. :)

    The Moody Blues was a late 1960s band. Their hits were "Nights in White Satin", "Story In Your Eyes", and "Tuesday Afternoon." Their song "Your Wildest Dreams" was a come-back they released about 1986. They had been out of the lime-light for about 15-years when they released this.

    I was a kid in the 80s when this song was released. I was already familiar with The Moody Blues because my dad liked them and I always got a kick when bands that my dad grew up listening to in the 60s would release something contemporary. This song got me into going back and listening to their old albums from the 60s and 70s and I’ve been a fan ever since. So many great songs by these guys. The Story In Your Eyes is a must listen to. Jay will appreciate it because it’s much more of a Rocker than this one but, keep listening to it. Slow and soft or not, Wildest Dreams is a terrific song.

    Yes, I much prefer this one to 'Nights in White Satin'. I can't for the life of me comprehend how this can be called 'slower' than 'Nights . . . '
    This is a beautiful piece of nostalgic love-song writing by Justin Hayward. It always brings a tear to my eye as it makes me think of a few instances of what might have been. There's a sequel too, 'I Know You're Out There Somewhere'.
    After that one, though, give Justin's songs a break and listen to:
    'Survival' or 'Nervous' - singalong anthems by John Lodge (the one who didn't like Justin having a girlfriend in the video)
    'Painted Smile/Reflective Smile/Veteran Cosmic Rocker' - an absolute belter by Ray Thomas

    One of their other big songs is "Afternoon" that might be my favorite.
    I still say, you can never really judge a song until you hear it 3 times, unless it's really bad. This is one of those weird songs, the more you hear it, the more you like it. This song is all about lyrics and bass, both are so smooth, and so easy for people to sing a long. Nights in White Satin is one of those very iconic songs, that I would assume most people would request. What is kind of weird, out of Kalamazoo, MI there is two radio stations broadcasting from the same building I believe, 107.7 which was hard rock and 103.3 which was pop. 107.7 played Nights in White Satin all the time, and 103.3 played Your Wildest Dreams all the time as well.

      If you count the pre-Haywood/Lodge Moodies, their first hit was in the EARLY 60s. The band was top tier from the Days of Future Passed through the Octave albums. I actually have them above the Beetles during that time period. They WERE the progenitor of progressive rock. Mike Ponder left the band after Octave. Mike was the driver of the orchestral sound of the band and with his departure, they became just a VERY good band. Concentrate your interest on the "Core Seven" albums and Octave and you won't be disappointed.

    And another of my favorite groups that I started listening to in the late 60s. Such a spiritual group, they had deeper lyrics to their songs that made you think and listen from the heart. Always a message in them and music with life memories as well. They started in 1964 and active through 2018 with a hiatus: 1974-1977. Pretty extensive career with most of the original band members who then started passing away.
